The native remote syslog functionality in the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) for vSphere 6.5 introduces several new changes from vSphere 6.0. With some of the questions that I have been receiving on this topic, I figure it would be useful to take a closer look at some of the different behaviors and configuration differences.

How to forward other VCSA 6.5 logs to remote…
As mentioned in my previous article (which I strongly recommend you review before continuing further), the VCSA 6.5 no longer uses syslog-ng as the syslog client and it has been replaced with rsyslog. This means the instructions outlined in my old article here is no longer valid on forwarding logs from a VCSA 6.5 system to a remote syslog server.

New Release: PowerCLI 6.5 R1 Poster!
PowerCLI 6.5 was a big release for us. We changed the name to reflect that we’re doing a bit more than just vSphere these days, we fully converted our snap-ins to modules, and so many more upgrades and updates. There are always a lot of asks for it with every release, so I am extremely happy to finally announce the release of the VMware PowerCLI 6.5 R1 poster!

vmss2core – Fling from VMware
Whilst working on a call with Microsoft this week they needed a full memory dump from a server. The windows server wasn’t being particularly cooperative with running a program to make it blue screen and produce a complete memory dump so the support guy advised me of a rather cool way to get my memory dump.

Exploring new VCSA VAMI API w/PowerCLI: Part 7
In the previous article (Part 6), we demonstrated how you can easily associate the list of VMDKs to their respective OS partitions within a VCSA or PSC node, which is useful when you need to increase the disk capacity for a specific OS partition. In Part 7, we are now going to drill down a bit further into the underlying filesystem and retrieve both the storage capacity as well as utilization of each partition.

vRealize Operations is a very powerful management platform with some little known features. None are used less than super metrics and that is a shame as it is a very flexible and powerful way to extend your management environment. In this article, I will discuss some use cases with our Blue Medora management packs.

It’s Here: ‘Network Virtualization for Dummies’
Today, just about all enterprise data centers have virtualized a significant portion of their server resources and a large percentage are moving to virtualizing their storage resources as well. These IT organisations are realising the payoff that comes with virtualization—things like better utilization of resources, increased IT agility, and lower capital and operational costs.

Sometime back I wrote an article that described what happens when an object deployed on a vSAN datastore has a policy of Number of Failures to Tolerate set to 1 (FTT=1), and multiple failures are introduced. For simplicity, lets label the three components that make up our object with FTT=1 as A, B and W.
