vSAN HCL Warning
A few weeks ago I talked about Identifying your controllers and installing the correct firmware and drivers for a vSAN environment. Even though you follow my recommendations vSAN Health Check still showing a warning for the vSAN cache tier controllers. Don’t be afraid, there’s a bug that prevents Health Check to correctly identify PCIE/NVMe controllers and so the alarm is triggered, even with the certified driver and firmware installed. It took me some time to find this information, so I…Read More

How to silence VMware vSAN Health Checks
A new feature in vSAN 6.6 is the ability to silence Health Checks. In previous versions, it was already possible to disable alerts that are triggered by health checks. Silencing health checks is one step further and enables you to have a clean vSAN health. Silenced checks are displayed with a green checkmark and are marked as “Skipped”.

Bootstrap the VCSA onto vSAN 6.6 with Easy Install
If vSAN is configured by vCenter, how do you deploy vCenter on top of vSAN? Sounds a bit like a chicken and egg scenario, huh? vSAN is part of a cluster configuration in vSphere. To create a cluster, a datacenter must first be present, and that must be part of a vCenter instance. At least that’s how we configure it via the vSphere Web Client.
Use the VMware Host Client to manage single ESXi hosts
The VMware Host Client is faster and more secure than the vSphere Flash-based client, but it has yet to reach maturity. Here are some other tools you can use to manage ESXi hosts.
VMware Cloud Foundation Storage Overview
VMware Cloud Foundation leverages vSAN ready-nodes to implement a simple, efficient and highly scalable storage architecture for the SDDC. Leveraging the automation capabilities of the SDDC Manager it’s easy to create workload domains and provision new vSAN data stores. vSAN radically simplifies storage and makes it easy to deploy a modern software-defined data center.
VMware Cloud Foundation Technical Introduction
See how VMware Cloud Foundation brings together the core SDDC building blocks of compute virtualization (with VMware vSphere), storage virtualization (with VMware vSAN) and network virtualization (with VMware NSX), together with the automation capabilities of the VMware SDDC Manager, into a new unified SDDC platform that provides a vastly simplified SDDC experience
Deploying vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC) 1.1 | The Humble Lab
I Can’t Even Contain Myself…ha…ha… Now that I’ve gotten a poor joke out of the way, lets jump into something pretty exciting. VMware’s vSphere Integrated Containers version 1.1 went GA on 4/18 (see blog post here). Containers are growing quickly in popularity, and are starting to see some production usecases. I’ve been playing with them a little bit here and there in the lab; but never with any sort of major goals in mind. That being said – it’s time to step the game up.
Latest PowerCLI release now supports VVol replication test failover
The ability to do array based replication of VVols via SPBM was introduced in vSphere 6.5 but it came with a catch. That catch is while you can automate VVol replication with SPBM, there is no client side interface to perform any type of failover or failback operations like you have with SRM.
