VMware Virtual SAN (Beta) – radically simple shared storage designed for virtual machines
Samstag, September 14th, 2013 VMware Virtual SAN is a new software-defined storage Tier that extends the vSphere Hypervisor to pool both compute and direct-attached storage. By clustering server direct-attached hard disk and solid state drives (HDDs and SSDs), Virtual SAN creates a distributed shared datastore designed and optimized for virtual machines. Virtual SAN is built in to the vSphere kernel and implements a distributed architecture that leverages SSDs for high-Performance read/write caching and HDDs for cost-effective data persistence. The technology is based on a highly available architecture with no single point of failure. It can withstand failures at the disk, server and network level with no data loss, thanks to built-in redundancy mechanisms that transparently store multiple copies of the data across disks and Hosts

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 – set defragmentation schedules
Mittwoch, Juni 19th, 2013 Defragmentation in virtual machines is a topic that should not be ignored – in fact a defragmented virtual machine can provide an amazing performance difference. The built-in scheduled task is not enabled by default but you can do it – then your task is enabled and on every wednesday at 01:00 the defrag task will be running – in a virtualized environment with 100+ VM´s can impact on your storage system quite seriously if all VM´s start to defrag at the same time – one way to mitigate this is to set the start day and start time different on all machines
$hour = Get-Random -Minimum 0 -Maximum 24
$day = Get-Random -input “Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday”, “Friday”, “Saturday”, “Sunday”
$date = Get-Date
$at = Get-Date “$($a.Month)/$($a.day)/$($a.Year) $($hour):00″
$Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -Weekly -at $at -DaysOfWeek $day
Set-ScheduledTask -TaskName ScheduledDefrag -TaskPath \Microsoft\Windows\Defrag\ -Trigger $Trigger | Out-Null

VMware vSphere 5.1 Storage DRS – reduces the time and complexity of provisioning virtual machines by aggregating datastores into a single pool
Donnerstag, Mai 16th, 2013 Virtual machine storage provisioning historically has imposed operational challenges. Monitoring datastore capacity and I/O load has proven to be very difficult and as a result is often neglected. During the provisioning process for virtual machines virtual disk datastores are often randomly selected leading to hot spots and over- or underutilized datastores – VMware vSphere 5.1 Storage DRS was a new feature introduced in VMware vSphere 5.0 that provides smart virtual machine placement and load-balancing mechanisms based on I/O and space capacity
