Get ready for NSX phase 0: Migrate from a…
The distributed switch (vDS) is a really nice piece of software within the vSphere environment. It offers a variety of very useful features (NIOC, Health Check, Central management, LACP, LBT, Netflow, and so many (features with fancy abbreviations) more). Especially if you want to move to NSX the distributed switch is mandatory. Since analytics showed me that views about my vDS blogposts are increasing it seems that there is a demand for the vDS within our virtualized environments (it’s still an enterprise+ only feature)

Will 2016 Be the Year of VDI — Sorry, EUC?
Who or what is EUC? In an industry plagued by TLAs (three-letter acronyms), EUC, or end-user computing, is the new nomenclature for VDI, or virtual desktop infrastructure. This is not just the emperor’s new clothes, but a redefinition of the paradigm of adoptinga more inclusive view of the software, hardware, and processes that shore up … Continue reading Will 2016 Be the Year of VDI — Sorry, EUC? → Will 2016 Be the Year of VDI — Sorry, EUC?|The Virtualization Practice

Synology: Configuring Time Machine and Quotas
Time machine is a great piece of backup software that comes with Macs. How Time Machine works is that it backs up based on a policy until there is no space left on the destination. When space is depleted, Time Machine deletes the oldest backups. While the process makes sense, it does raise the question […] The post Synology: Configuring Time Machine and Quotas appeared first on SFlanders.net by Steve Flanders.

Long-term self-signed certs
While I’m a big proponent of using an enterprise-class certificate authority—either based on internal offline root/online issuing or public CAs—there are some instances when using a self-signed cert fits the bill. Unfortunately, most of the tools for creating a self-signed cert have defaults that result in less-than-stellar results: the digest algorithm is sha1, the cert is likely to have a 1024-bit key, and the extensions that define the cert for server and/or client authentication are…Read More

Replacing a vSAN caching disk
Replacing a vSAN caching disk
Replacing disks in vSAN could be a bit less smooth than some of the traditional Storage Arrays. For normal disks used for storage it’s quite easy, but disks used for caching it can be a slightly different story. If you get a dead caching disk you should remove it from the config before removing it physically from the server. Otherwise you will get the problems described in this posting. Once the disk has been replaced you will be unable to delete the disk or the disk group both from the…Read More
