HOW TO DELETE AN ORPHANED DESKTOP POOL Time for a new problem in the VMware Horizon View series. After running into problems which forced me to ‘Manually delete protected Horizon View replicas‘ and ‘Link a VMware View desktop to its replica‘, now I encountered an orphaned desktop pool HOW TO IMPROVE VMWARE VIEW VIDEO PERFORMANCE Apart from VDI or server virtualization, this choice depends on two things, performance and licensing. First performance, When specifying the number of virtual sockets and the number of cores per virtual socket, VMware’s best pratice recommends to leave this at the default value of 1 core per socket. 5 TIPS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE HARDENING HORIZON VIEW: VIRTUAL DISK DIGEST? When Horizon View starts to provision (with VSA enabled on the pool) virtual desktops it will create a digest file. This file will contain indexes based on the content of each virtual disk file. At runtime, the ESXi host reads the digest files and caches common blocks of data in memory. The ESXi host cache will update the digest files at CONNECT ISO TO VM THE POWERCLI WAY For the script to work you need permission on vCenter to list files on the datastores and to mount the ISO on your current VM. You also need PowerCLI (still thinking about trying this in Visual Basic if I get irritated enough). It was tested on PowerCLI 4.1.1 on ESX 4.1. Start the script in a PowerCLI window and start selecting ISO files.

GETTING STARTED WITH CORRECTLY SIZING YOUR VMWARE There are various opinions and ideas, like: Use the reference guide or architecture, then you’re safe. Follow the sizing guides from the vendors. you need to monitor the current workloads to correctly size your environment. Do a full load test, start small so you can size the rest accordingly. Use a POWERSHELL FRIDAY: CREATING VIRTUAL MACHINES PowerShell Friday: Creating Virtual Machines. One of the most basic things you will do within a virtual infrastructure is creating virtual machines. Adding one new virtual machine like this is fine, but if you have to repeat this proces multiple times it might be more usefull to use a script containing the PowerCLI cmdlet New-VM. You can use HOW TO EXCHANGE VMS BETWEEN VMWARE WORKSTATION AND FUSION Step 1 – Copying the files. Copy the folder with the Virtual Machine (VM) files to the Mac into a folder where you are storing your VMs. In my case folder Androidx86. Step 2 – Making the VM visible for VMware Fusion. Rename the folder with the VM you want to run in VMware Fusion and add .vmwarevm at the end of the folder name. BEST PRACTICES RUNNING VMWARE WITH NFS An NFS client built into ESXi uses the Network File System (NFS) protocol over TCP/IP to access a designated NFS volume that is located on NFS storage. The ESXi host can mount the volume and use it for its storage needs. Up until version 6.0 VMware only supported NFS version 3.

CISCO UCS FABRIC INTERCONNECT PORT LICENSING EXPLAINED When you are designing a Cisco UCS Unified Computing environment you will use several components which will work together. One key object in the whole chain is the Fabric Interconnect which connects the chassis, used storage and uplinks to Datacenter Switches like theNexus 5000 series.
VSPHERE HOST MAINTENANCE WITH INSTANT CLONES First open the annotations for the host that you want to enter in maintenance. Change the InstantClone.Maintenance value to 1 and close the window. Give it some time and you should see a task that removes the parent vm. After the parent vm is deleted you should see a value of 2 for the InstantClone.Maintenance annotation. BEST PRACTICES FOR HARDENING THE VEEAM BACKUP REPOSITORY A good way of hardening the backup repository is by running it on a standalone Windows Server with storage attached to it.
