Enterprises can now accelerate the development and operation of modern apps on VMware vSphere while continuing to take advantage of existing investments in technology, tools and skillsets. By leveraging Kubernetes to rearchitect vSphere, Project Pacific will enable developers and IT operators to build and manage apps comprised of containers and/or virtual machines this approach gives enterprises a single platform to operate existing and modern apps side-by-side

VMware vSphere 6.7 – VM Backup best practices

Sonntag, August 25th, 2019

VMware vSphere – best practices include areas where IT admins can ensure that backups are good, and most importantly, restorable. Let’s take a look at the following

  • VMware snapshots are not backups
  • Use Image-Level backups
  • Use application-aware backups
  • Use Changed Block Tracking CBT
  • Encrypt VM backups
  • Verify VM backups
  • Create Offsite backup copies

Let’s take a closer look at each of these one-by-one and see why they are important

Disk Defragmentation best practice – are you looking for information on defragmentation of your vmsf datastores or defragmentation within the guest os

Sonntag, Juni 9th, 2019

vmware_logo.jpg   The answer is NO defragmentation for both – defragmentation also generates more I/O to the disk. This could be more of a concern to customers than any possible performance improvement that might be gained from the defrag. I should point out that I have read that, internally at VMware, we have not observed any noticeable improvement in performance after a defragmentation of Guest OSes residing on SAN or NAS based datastores. I also want to highlight an additional scenario that uses an array based technology rather than a vSphere technology. If your storage array is capable of moving blocks of data between different storage tiers (SSD/SAS/SATA), e.g. EMC FAST, then defragmentation of the Guest OS doesn’t really make much sense. If your VM has been running for some time on tiered storage, then in all likelihood the array has already learnt where the hot-blocks are, and has relocated these onto the SSD. If you now go ahead and defrag, and move all of the VM’s blocks around again, the array is going to have to relearn where the hot-spots are
