As I study for my VCP6-NV (6.2) beta exam and I read Elver’s excellent book, my thoughts wander off to the VMworld 2016 vExpert party and Pat Gelsinger explaining that he thought NSX hadn’t reached it’s big “oh wow!” moment yet – like when you showed someone a vSphere vMotion for the first time.

Multi-site with Cross-VC NSX and Palo Alto…

In a prior post, Multi-site with Cross-VC NSX: Consistent Security and Micro-segmentation Across Sites, we discussed how Cross-VC NSX provides micro-segmentation and consistent security across multiple sites. We looked at five reasons to seriously consider Cross-VC NSX for a multi-site solution in terms of security alone: centralized management, consistent security across vCenter domains/sites, security policies follow the workload(s), ease of security automation across vCenter domains/sites, and enhanced disaster recovery use case. In this post, we’ll discuss how advanced third party security services can also be leveraged in a Cross-VC NSX environment.

We initially noticed the issue when Storage vMotion repeatedly threw an error for one of their VMs: A general system error occurred: Failed to create journal file provider: Failed to open “/var/log/vmware/journal/…” for write: There is no space left on…Read More
