Just over three weeks ago I hit the Maximum score in CloudCred or more correctly the Maximum level 15 and 20000 points. So this means in the 16 months or so since I joined I’ve amassed the total of 300,000 points. As far as I can tell there is just one other player at this…Read More

VSAN Node Removal Disk Cleansing
Hyperconvergence is great and now gives us the ability to not be dependent on a centralized storage array (SAN) like we’ve all been accustomed to. Adding nodes to scale our VSAN environment is simple to do (depending on your switch infrastructure) and can be done on the fly. Removal of those nodes is a fairly straight forward process but there are some cleanup steps that need to be done in order to…Read More

Last year we published a detailed series of reviews on VSAN 6.0 in a hybrid configuration. In February of this year, VMware launched VSAN 6.2, which brought data reduction via deduplication and compression, as well as a number of other features to the market.

VSAN – Compliance Status is Out of Date
Occasionally the Compliance status of the performance service will go to the “out of date” status. This is not an alert that is thrown anywhere within vCenter. You will have to check this status by logging into the vSphere web client, locating your vCenter, choose the cluster, clicking on “Manage” then choosing “Health and Performance” […]

There is no doubt that new pricing introduced to vCAN Service Providers announced just after VSAN 6.2 was released meant that Service Providers looking at VSAN for their IaaS or MSP offerings that had previously written it off due to price, could once again consider it as a viable and price competitive option. As of writing this blog post there is no way to meter the new reporting mechanism automatically through the existing vCloud Usage Meter with the current 3.5 beta also lacking the ability to report billing info.

Hyper-Convergence… it ain’t a passing fad.
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) is all about getting “out of the infrastructure business”, and focus on the business – just like Converged Infrastructure (CI). But, HCI is different from CI in several important ways: You can start smaller. Much smaller. You…Read More

One of the things which is generally discussed in a VSAN based discussion is the De-duplication technology and amount of savings it can help us achieve? Well, like in many similar discussions around De-dupe in general, the response to the question is “It Depends”!!! I know it may sound like a cliche…but that’s a fact and to understand it better we need to understand “How De-duplication happens” a bit more in deep.

VSAN 6.2: Reminder About Important Fix
Last week VMware released an important KB based around an issue with VSAN 6.2 where some VMs residing on existing Hybrid VSAN datastores may exhibit reduced disk IO performance after an upgrade. In a nutshell the issue is caused by a new operation that’s linked to the new deduplication and compression features in VSAN 6.2. The issue affects only VSAN 6.2 Hybrid deployments and is obviously not applicable to All Flash VSAN Clusters.

Yellow Bricks: VSAN everywhere with Computacenter
This week I had the pleasure to have a chat with Marc Huppert (VCDX181). Marc works for Computacenter in Germany as a Senior Consultant and Category Leader VMware Solutions. He primarily focuses on datacenter technology. I noticed a tweet from Marc that he was working on a project where they will be implementing a 60 site ROBO deployment. It is one of those use cases that I don’t get to see too often in Europe so I figured I would drop him a note. We had a conversation of about an hour and below is the story around this project, and some of the other projects Marc has worked on.
Exploring VSAN APIs Part 9 – VSAN Component count
Exploring VSAN APIs Part 9 – VSAN Component count
The last topic that I would like to explore before concluding my VSAN API blog series are some of the advanced VSAN disk statistics that are available for either troubleshooting or informational purposes. One such statistic that would be handy to know about is the number of VSAN Components per ESXi host, which I have already demonstrated in my recent VSAN configuration maximum query script and VSAN PowerCLI vCheck Plugins. These disk statistics are made available through the VSAN InternalSystem manager and using the QueryPhysicalVsanDisks() vSphere API method, we can either retrieve all or a specific set of properties for each ESXi host. I have created a sample vSphere SDK for Perl script called vsanDiskStatsQueries.pl that will…Read More
