SNAGIT INSTALL 2019 LOSES DATASTORE UPGRADE

Similar to DRS clusters, SDRS enabled datastore clusters offer maintenance mode functionality which evacuates (Storage vMotion or cold migration) registered VMs and VMDKs (still no template migration support, c’mon VMware) off of a datastore which has been placed into maintenance mode. SDRS will coordinate initial placement of VM storage in addition to keeping datastore clusters balanced (space usage and latency thresholds including SIOC integration) with or without the use of SDRS affinity rules. Storage DRS is the long awaited compliment to CPU and memory based DRS introduced in VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3. While these components are not 100% fully featured yet in their debut, they come close. Non-Windows shops should find some happiness in a Linux based vCenter appliance and sophisticated web client front end. Going forward, we have just a single hypervisor to maintain and that is ESXi. Increased scalability and new features make virtualizing those last remaining tier 1 applications quantifiable.ĮSX and the Service Console are formally retired as of this release. If you’re a frequent reader of blogs or the Twitter stream, you’re going to bombarded with information at fire-hose-to-the-face pace, starting now.Īt the heart of it all is a major new release of VMware’s type 1 hypervisor and management platform. In addition, the embargo and NDA surrounding the vSphere 5 private beta expires. I’ll highlight the major announcements and some of the detail behind them.

Combine them and what you have is a major upgrade of VMware’s entire cloud infrastructure stack. Each new product and set of features are impressive in their own right. I’m really looking forward to digging in!Īt 9am PDT this morning, Paul Maritz and Steve Herrod take the stage to announce the next generation of the VMware virtualized datacenter. 348 pages of vSphere 5 clustering technical deepdive is going to be thoroughly enjoyable.

At the moment, I don’t see much in the way of networking but in fairness, I’ll save the final review until after I have finished the book.

From there they added additional content relevant to vSphere 5 clustering such as EVC, SIOC, and SDRS. The authors have built on the success from the previous edition by refreshing the HA, DRS, and DPM sections. As you might have guessed from the title, this book covers more than just HA and DRS. There are seriously not enough hours in the day for a VMware enthusiast.ĭuncan and Frank’s previous collaboration was the authoritative source on HA and DRS (as well as DPM). Add to that I’m currently a TE on another book project which keeps me busy along with the blog, my day job, and my vSphere 5 lab. However, the Kindle version makes a great searchable reference tool and I’ll almost always have the electronic copy with me on one of my Apple products. I like to write a lot of notes and discussion points in the margins. I much prefer my books in hard copy format. The fact is, having only the Kindle version right now, I’ve only glanced at it. I’d be lying through my teeth if I said I had already finished this book. Steve Herrod didn’t get to where he is today without a solid background in strategy and tactics. I’m guessing VMware timed the release of its new cloud platform with Duncan and Frank’s new book. It’s quite ironic that this vSphere 5 book was debuted the same day VMware made its public announcement about vSphere 5, SRM 5, vCD 1.5, and the new vSA. I’ve ordered the color paperback version and I also picked up the Kindle version for my iPad and iPhone 4 the day the book was announced – Tuesday July 12th, 2011. The title of the book is of course VMware vSphere 5 Clustering technical deepdive and is available in three formats: Both hail from the Netherlands and that company I talk about from time to time – VMware. The authors of this new book really need no introduction.
