On Nutanix from VMware on blades VMware

Hi all

Customer asked to understand the deployment strategy and the benefits of VMware on Nutanix deployment and the deployment of VMware on blades? Just wondering if someone have document or guide to compare the two please?

Any information or help will be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello

WARNING: I am a father Solutions & Performance Engineer at Nutanix

The only real similarity between Nutanix and blade of deployments is they are considered as solutions, space-saving, but this is really where the similarities end.

VMware on blades is a Compute solution, which requires some form of shared such as a SAN or NAS storage to be connected via FC or IP connectivity.

However, Nutanix is a Hyper-convergent platform, which includes the calculation and storage in a 2RU format.

Nutanix is actually a data center in a box that provides computing/storage resources, but also a fully integrated management platform. Deployment of Nutanix is very simple and takes<30mins from="" factory="" default="" to="" running="" vsphere="" and="" vms="" in="" an="" optimal="" storage="">

Blades with VMware (storage more) could take several days or weeks to be implemented after a design phase potentially complex.

Nutanix has all the features you would expect from a SAN/NAS like Compression, deduplication, Thin Provisioning, snapshot backup/replication, even in charge of Clusters stretched that we call the availability of Metro on.

Here is a report from an independent consulting firm by comparing a blade solution based on Cisco UCS (vBlock which includes SAN storage) at Nutanix.

  • New (?) Patch Windows 7 can break up from VMware

    I have no idea if this would affect any of us, but for those of us who run Windows 7 and using the Simulator, there is apparently a fix for Windows which can break up from VMware.

    I never put my automatic update machines, so I'm covered for now, but if you have updates automatically applied, take this into account and if you notice new problems, you can try to do a restore to cancel the patches.  Or wait to see if any other information comes to this subject.

    It is not only related to VMware View software? I read the article and it doesn't seem to affect VMware player, doest it?

    In all cases, the VMware article on which already points to an update.

  • Migration from VMware to USB RAID array

    Current configuration: HP N54L Microserver, P410 RAID card, 3 partitions, each 1 VMware datastore.

    VMware runs from a USB, installed from VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-HP-5.72.27-Feb2014.iso.

    Datastore1 contains virtual machines.  Datastore3 contains a data reader to one of the virtual machines.  Datastore2 is not used.

    Can I install VMware for a current HP specific image to the partition currently containing Datastore2 without losing my VMs on 1 and 3 data warehouses?

    Thank you!

    Oh now I understand! Logical drives separate are separate as readers for ESXi (and any other OS). So if you take the right one for ESXi, the last two must remain intact.

    I did this once (two logical drives on raid-controller) simple installation and did not know what is happening, so I backed up all virtual machines off site. But only the logical drive that I picked up for ESXi installation has been re-partitioned.

    Hi, I tried to install on a WinXP VM Win8, but received the error message that the driver SCSI from VMWare was incompatible with Windows 8. Anyone who has encountered the same problem?

  • Custom ESXi from VMware ESXi vs Dell

    I'm trying to consolidate all our servers (P2V). My question is what distro ESXi should I use for my VMware servers or Dell custom? We currently have vSphere Essentials and yesterday 4.0 Update 2 is out. What will be my most safe/reliable and recommended approach.

    Material:

    2 x Dell PowerEdge R510 (ESXi via USB)

    1 x Dell PowerEdge 2850 (vCenter)

    Current options:

    (1) use 4u2 ESXi and vCenter 4u2 directly from the VMware site.

    (2) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell customized) and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter. (the ESXi Dell 4u2 is not available)

    (3) use ESXi 4u1 (Dell custom) Dell site and 4u2 from VMware sitevCenter.

    (4) another idea?

    Thanks for any help!

    The version of Dell has the right ICD (but the vanilla version works as well) and the ready to run Dell OpenManage.

    You can add this tool later or boot from the Dell U1 version and use VMware Update Manager to upgrade to the version of U2.

  • Still awaiting to hear from VMware after taking the training and pass the exam.

    Hello

    I took the training on February 1 (VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage) and passed the VCP - 410 exam on February 8, but have not yet heard of VMware.  :_|

    Is it normal that it takes a long time? I am supposed to receive an e-mail to confirm my VCP status, right?  ?:|

    Thank you.

    The status on the website of Pearson view should say that the review was a 'pass', you won't hear anything from VMware, until you receive your welcome kit VCP in post/mail and your Workstation 7 license by email - you should get those in the next 4-6 weeks... Bravo

  • Cluster RedHat from VMware support

    Hello

    VMware officially support RedHat Cluster on ESX? I am particularly interested in cross-box cluster with fence_vmware (fencing with SSH).

    Personally, I consider this solution as a very low. Needs access and configuration of 'low level' SC, cannot be managed centrally, unaware of ESX cluster. In multi-ESX cluster infrastructure looks like a legacy of the island. What is your opinion?

    Best regards

    Martin

    Agreed.  There is no official statement from VMware on the clustering of RedHat, AFAIK.  Only a general statement for MSCS support grouping.  Other than fencing and ensure that you have entered a static ARP for multicast, the rest was pretty smooth.

  • Error "the device is not ready" to the Windows command prompt when you access a key USB from VMware

    The host and guest are running Win 7.  Version of VMware is 11.1.3.

    The guest computer, Windows Explorer displays the USB and I can open its files, etc.

    However, when I use the Windows command prompt to access the USB of the client, I get error "the device is not ready".

    In order to get the guest system memory image, the application must be run from the USB as an administrator.

    Help, please!  Thank you!!

    I already found the answer.  Win 7 had not installed USB 3.0 controllers.  I downloaded several executables from Intel and Lenovo sites, but they does not work because the system only has not meet the specifications, etc..  Then I discovered that a USB 2.0 stick had any problems.  So, I use 2.0 for this virtual machine.  Thank you!

  • The upgrade from VMware Workstation 12: can I install above?

    So I just bought a license to upgrade to workstation 12. Now, I noticed that it is (finally) 64-bit native. However, 11 Workstation is native 32-bit. Can I just install VMware Workstation 12 top like I did the upgrade from 10 to 11? Because the 10 and 11 were native 32-bit.

    The question is moot.
    Upgrade has always meant uninstall the old version, install the new version.
    If you do it yourself, you have more control, but the results will be the same.

    The safest option is: uninstall manually - reboot - check registry for services that have not been removed - if necessary, repair registry - restarts again and then install the new version right after the restart.

  • Recommendation from VMware lab

    What is a good physical switch low cost to use with a VMware Lab?  I only need 2 small 24 or 48 port switches.  I'm trying to figure out a good Cisco switch model that tends to have a lot of market penetration and I could find one easily on ebay or something.  I only need 1 Gb ethernet, IOS for the operating system, ability LACP and this kind of basic stuff.  Thank you!

    Many people go to a renovated version 1GbE a Cisco 3560 G / 3750G (or one from eBay). The SG300 series was introduced to resolve the discrepancy.

  • Ovftool from VMware is not install/work on VMware vMA 4.0?

    Tried to install 64-bit ovftool on VMware vMA 4.0 today and he could not install or give any useful information:

    [vi-admin@scofield]$ ./VMware-ovftool-installer-1.0.0-166674-lin.x86_64.sh
    
    VMware OVF Tool installer script
    Copyright VMware 2009
    .........extracting archive........
    
    Checksum validation failed for archive.
    (If you use FTP, make sure to set it to binary mode)
    

    As far as I know, the binary is actually included in the installation script, but I'm not sure why "FTP" is referenced here unless VMware is expected to download the actual source? I hope that, as the vMA is a VMware virtual appliance that it should support utilities "VMwae", but from what I've seen in the past with VDDK and VIX, is not always and not is generally not the case.

    Can someone comment or know how to install?

    Thanks for your time
