I recently upgraded the storage section in a customer’s vSphere environment, by adding a new and more powerful SAN. Since customer had VMware licenses with Storage vMotion, we started moving the several virtual machines he had towards the new storage, without obviously shutting them down. In a couple of virtual…

Errore in Storage vMotion: the method is disabled
Ho recentemente aggiornato la parte storage di un’infrastruttura vSphere presso un cliente, installando una SAN più performante. Essendo il cliente dotato di licenze vSphere che comprendono Storage vMotion, ho provveduto a spostare le varie virtual machine dal vecchio al nuovo storage senza interrompere l’attività delle VM stesse. In un paio…
Data Protection in Depth: the 3-2-1 rule for data protection

I’ve talked since many years about data protection, backup and disaster recovery, but until today I never created a dedicated section. You will find in this category overview articles, some theory, and practical tests with several Data…

Possedendo le licenze vCloud Standard, avevamo predisposto tempo addietro un distributed switch per consentire una configurazione automatica, consistente e a prova di errore di tutta la parte di networking dei vari server. Il wizard di migrazione del…
Why I contribute to user communities
I’m one of the memebers of the Italian VMUG steering committee, and our VMUGIT User Conference took place only few days ago. It’s was a complete success, in a sense also unhoped (but wished), and as always the main contribution to its success came from users. Nothing to say about…
Perchè contribuisco alle user communities
Si è conclusa da pochi giorni la prima User Conference del VMUGIT, il chapter italiano del VMUG, di cui sono membro dello steering committee (o comitato organizzativo, se preferite). E’ stato un successo, per certi versi insperato anche se auspicato, e come sempre il maggior contributo al suo successo l’hanno…
