Intel’s 7th Gen NUC is currently rolled out and after a resolved issue with the NIC driver, it’s time to take a look at their capabilities as homeserver running VMware ESXi. NUCs are not officially supported by VMware but they are very widespread in many homlabs or test environments. They are small, silent, transportable and have a very low power consumption, making it a great server for your homelab. I’ve posted a preview of the new models about 2 months ago. Gen7 NUCs are available with i3, i5 and i7 CPU.

Site Recovery Manager 6.x Install Guide

Site Recovery Manager 6.x Install Guide
This post will walk through the installation of Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to protect virtual machines from site failure. SRM plugs into vCenter to protect virtual machines replicated to a failover site using array based replication or vSphere replication. In the event of a site outage, or outage of components within a site meaning production virtual machines can no longer run there; SRM brings online the replicated datastore and VMs in vSphere, with a whole bunch of automated customisation options such as assigning new IP addresses, boot orders, dependencies, running scripts, etc. After a failover SRM can reverse the replication direction and protect virtual machines ready to fail back, all from within the vSphere web client.

Debunking some behavior “myths” in 3 node vSAN…
I recently noticed a blog post describing some very strange behaviors in 2-node and 3-node vSAN clusters. I was especially concerned to read that when they introduced a failure and then fixed that failure, they did not experience any auto-recovery. I have reached out to the authors of the post, just to check out some things such as version of vSAN, type of failure, etc. Unfortunately I haven’t had a response as yet, but I did feel compelled to put the record straight. In the following post, I am going to introduce a variety of operations and failures in my 3-node cluster, and show you exactly how things are supposed to behave. I will look at maintenance mode behavior, network failure and a flash device failure. Please forgive some of the…Read More
