- Nutanix Complete Cluster - I was just reading up and noticed an article about Nutanix. Nutanix is a “new” company which just came out of stealth mode and offers a datacenter in a box type of solution. With that meaning that they have a solution which provides shared storage and compute resources in a single 2u chassis. This 2u chassis can hold up to [...]"Nutanix Complete Cluster" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

- Partitioned Cluster with HA vSphere 5, who owns what? - I received a question today about a partitioned clusters (in vSphere 5.0) with HA. The question was which Master would own which VMs when a partition exists and how is determined which master can own which VM? I have already briefly explained the difference between an isolation and a partition. Now it is good to realize that when a partition [...]"Partitioned Cluster with HA vSphere 5, who owns what?" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

- vSphere 5.0 HA: Application Monitoring intro - I don’t think anyone has blogged about App Monitoring yet so I figured I would do a “what’s new / intro” to App Monitoring in vSphere 5.0. Prior to vSphere 5 App Monitoring could only be leveraged by partners which had access to the SDK/APIs. A handful of partners leveraged those of which probably Symantec’s ApplicationHA is the best example. [...]"vSphere 5.0 HA: Application Monitoring intro" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.

- vSphere License Advisor – the official tool – finally available - I know many of you have been waiting on this so I figured I would report it is available. You can find the official vSphere License Advisor on here. I know many have used Alan’s script, and some couldn’t use it because it didn’t support VI3. The vSphere License Advisor will work in environments with Virtual Infrastructure 3.5, vSphere 4.0 [...]"vSphere License Advisor – the official tool – finally available" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.

- vCenter Appliance - I was playing around in my lab and figured I would give the vCenter Appliance (VCVA) a try. I realize that today there are limitations when it comes to the vCenter Appliance and I wanted to list those to get them out in the open: No Update Manager No Linked-Mode No support for the VSA (vSphere Storage Appliance) Only support [...]"vCenter Appliance" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.

- VM with disks in multiple datastore clusters? - This week I received a question about Storage DRS. The question was if it was possible to have a VM with multiple disks in different datastore clusters? It’s not uncommon to have set ups like these so I figured it would be smart to document it. The answer is yes that is supported. You can create a virtual machine with [...]"VM with disks in multiple datastore clusters?" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.

- vSphere 5 Coverage - I just read Eric’s article about all the topics he covered around vSphere 5 over the last couple of weeks and as I just published the last article I had prepared I figured it would make sense to post something similar. (Great job by the way Eric, I always enjoy reading your articles and watching your videos!) Although I did [...]"vSphere 5 Coverage" originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.
