When I started writing this article I knew people were going to say that I am biased considering I work for VMware (EMC owns a part of VMware), but so be it. It is not like that has ever stopped me from posting anything about potential competitors so it also will not stop me now … … Continue reading → “EMC ViPR; My take” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: EMC ViPR; My take Last week there was a question on VMTN about VM Monitoring sensitivity. I could have sworn I did an article on that exact topic, but I couldn’t find it. I figured I would do a new one with a table explaining the levels of sensitivity that you can configure VM Monitoring to. The question that … … Continue reading → “vSphere HA – VM Monitoring sensitivity” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: vSphere HA – VM Monitoring sensitivity A while back I did this article on Storage DRS Interoperability. I had questions last week about this so I figured I would write a new article which reflects the current state (vSphere 5.1). I also included some details that are part of the interoperability white paper Frank and I did so that we have … … Continue reading → “vSphere 5.1 Storage DRS Interoperability” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: vSphere 5.1 Storage DRS Interoperability For years these rumors have been floating around that DRS does not take CPU Ready Time (%RDY) in to account when it comes load balancing the virtual infrastructure. Fact is that %RDY has always been a part of the DRS algorithm but not as a first class citizen but as part of CPU Demand, which … … Continue reading → “DRS not taking CPU Ready Time in to account?

Lately I have been receiving more and more questions around support for specific “hypervisor side” solutions. With that meaning, how VMware deals with solutions which are installed within the hypervisor. I have always found it very difficult to dig up details around this both externally and internally. I figured it was time to try to … … Continue reading → “Tested / Supported / Certified by VMware? (caching / dr solutions)” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: Tested / Supported / Certified by VMware? (caching / dr solutions) We had a discussion internally on static overhead memory. Coincidentally I spoke with Aashish Parikh from the DRS team on this topic a couple of weeks ago when I was in Palo Alto. Aashish is working on improving the overhead memory estimation calculation so that both HA and DRS can be even more efficient when … … Continue reading → “What is static overhead memory?” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: What is static overhead memory? I received this question today around how to increase the Storage IO Control logging level. I knew either Frank or I wrote about this in the past but I couldn’t find it… which made sense as it was actually documented in our book. I figured I would dump the blurp in to an article so … … Continue reading → “Increase Storage IO Control logging level” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: Increase Storage IO Control logging level Last couple of weeks I heard people either asking questions around how tot limit a VM from an IOps perspective or making comments that Storage IO Control (SIOC) allows you to limit VMs. As I pointed at least three folks to this info I figured I would share it publicly. There is an IOps limit … … Continue reading → “Limit a VM from an IOps perspective” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB. . . . → Read More: Limit a VM from an IOps perspective I was reading this article on the HP blog about the future of Software Defined Storage and how the VSA fits perfectly. Although I agree that a VSA (virtual storage appliance) could potentially be a Software Defined Storage solution I do not really agree with IDC quote used for the basis of this article and … … Continue reading → “RE: Is VSA the future of Software Defined Storage?

(OpenIO) Last week I was in Palo Alto and I had a discussion about Virsto. Based on that discussion I figured it was time to setup Virsto in my Lab. I am not going to go in to much details around what Virsto is or does as I already did that in this article around the … … Continue reading → “Install and configure Virsto” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.
