Advertise here with BSA This week I was talking to a customer in Germany who had deployed a VSAN stretched cluster within a building. As it was all within a building (extremely low latency) and they preferred to have a very simple operational model they decided not to implement any type of VM/Hostrules. By default when a stretched cluster […] “Disable VSAN site locality in low latency stretched cluster” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB.

Nested NSX 6.2 – Part 5 North-South Routing Posted on January 15, 2016 by Kyle jenner I have now established east-west communication I must now configure north-south communication – this is achieved by using NSX Edge (ESG). ESG supports dynamic routing protocols that can be peered with the physical infrastructure, for my lab I will be attempting to pass the traffic onto my home router.

Every now and then you can run into the situation that you have a file wich needs to be distributed to any number of virtual machines. Now you could logon to these servers and copy the file manually and for maybe a handfull of virtual machines this is doable. But to make it easier on yourself you could also make use of Powershell. With Powershell you could make use of the cmdlet called Copy-Item to exchange data between your source and destionation. [crayon-5698dab33837d343449845/] This…Read More

Nested NSX 6.2 – Part 4 Distributed Routing Posted on January 15, 2016 by Kyle jenner The next part of my lab is to start creating logical switches, connecting VMs and configuring routing. Routing can be achieved by either centralised routing or distributed routing. Centralised routing represents NSX Edge as an on-ramp/off-ramp setup, this can provide east-west routing but is not optimised as the traffic must be hair-pinned to where the NSX is deployed even when VMs which belong to separate…Read More

One of the slides we showcased during the VMware Virtual SAN 6.1 Launch that got a lot of attention was the fact that VSAN delivers 6x9s enterprise level availability. A lot of eyebrows in the audience were going up wondering how we came to the conclusion that VSAN delivers 6-9s availability level (or less than 32 seconds of downtime a year).
