vSphere - Launch In India

I have been invited for vSphere event in Mumbai, India on 14/May. It was 4 hrs program and VMWare presented the highlights of vSphere. Along with VMWare, CISCO and EMC also presented their products which can be intergrated with vSphere.
I would prefer to highlight the networking advancement on the vSphere rather than its own features.

CISCO NEXUS 1000v software switch attracted many audience. This product address previous network issues with VI3 products. NEXUS 1000v provides policy based VM connectivity. It is able to define the network policy, called as Port Profile. Also, Port Profile can consists QoS, Access-Control List. The highlighted feature of the NEXUS 1000v is portability. Those configured Port Profile can be migrated along with VM to another Host by VMotion.CISCO NEXUS 1000v can be managed by vCenter 4.0

To know more about NEXUS 1000v, please refer the CISCO website. Also, software is free to try. The Estimated price would be around less than USD.1000.

At the time of installation of vCenter 4.0, it installs SQLEXPRESS 2005 by default unless any other Database specified. Mostly, we are using built-in database is SQLEXPRESS 2005 for testing environment. When you install vCenter 4.0, it installs SQLEXPRESS 2005 and creates a database called "SQLEXP_VIM". You can view this thru SQL Server Configuration Manager console.

Set VLAN ID to IPMI Address in Nutanix

The IPMI is remote management interface like as HP iLO, DELL DRAC. During the Nutanix cluster deployment, it is not possible to mention the VLAN ID of the IPMI's IP Address. This need to be entered thru command line via ESXi host or Windows Hyper-V. This article talks about ESXi host only. Login to ESXi thru SSH client. Run the following command to enter the VLAN ID (we assume that you already configured IP Address) ~ # /ipmitool lan set 1 vlan id 333 ~ # /ipmitool lan print1 Set in Progress         : Set Complete Auth Type Support       : NONE MD2 MD5 PASSWORD  Auth Type Enable        : Callback : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD                          : User     : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD                          : Operator : MD2 MD5 PASSWORD              ...
