Whenever we are going to deploy the VMware ESXi hypervisor we have to take into account that we have the necessary drivers when installing it, To do this, we must generate a custom image to which we will add these plugins/drivers in order to perform a correct installation.
Thanks to the new version of vShield, we will be able to use a technology called SpoofGuard, that will authorize the IP addresses reported by the VMware Tools of our VMs so that they can communicate with the rest of the network equipment and thus prevent any spoofing of our IP addresses (IP spoofing) in our network.
Inside the vShield family, we could enable the vShield Data Security service in order to have visibility into the leakage of sensitive information in our company, He will show it to us in some reports, where we can confirm that we have the information correctly secured, being able to evaluate compliance with any regulation in the world.
vShield Manager enables centralized management of vShield components in the network, is a virtual applicance installed on one of our ESXi hosts (one per vCenter). From its management console we can install, configure (or perform maintenance) on vShield components. In this first document we will see the deployment of this appliance and its initial configuration,
VMware vShield is a component that adds security by protecting virtual data centers from potential attacks or misuse through a set of security virtual appliances built for VMware vSphere. In a series of articles we will see the deployment of the products that make it up: vShield Manager, vShield App, vShield App with Data Security, vShield Edge and vShield Endpoint.
If we need to set up a lab or need to test any new configuration before applying it to our customers' hosts, we will be able to virtualize VMware ESXi 5 and run virtual machines under these virtual hosts. In this document we will see how to dispose of this, in addition to being able to configure an EVC cluster with virtual hosts to be able to mount Storage Appliance or whatever we need,
vSphere 5 vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA), a solution designed for small businesses that do not have the budget to purchase a storage array and want to have high availability in terms of storage or have features such as HA or VMotion, DRS… Thanks to this small appliance that runs on each host and through the VSA Manager, we will have the local datastores replicated between the ESXi hosts.
Another of the new features brought by vSphere 5, It is the possibility of centrally storing the dumps or dumps of memory that our hosts suffer on a network server, VMware Introduces ESXi Dump Collector Tool, In this document we will see how we can simply configure it,
One of the new features of vSphere 5 is the possibility of centralizing the logs of our ESXi hosts on a Syslog server thanks to the VMware Syslog Collector tool. It will allow us to store as many logs as we are interested in, allowing greater agility when looking for solutions to possible problems we have.
Already in a previous document of the version 4.1 we saw as a novelty that we could include our ESXi hosts in an Active Directory to authenticate directly with centralized accounts; one of the new features of vSphere 5 is the possibility of deploying an intermediate proxy between the hosts and our domain. All this to help in the deployment with Auto Deploy not to put users with passwords in configuration files, we will also be able to use it with hosts not deployed with Auto Deploy!
