Quite recently Veeam announced availability of their new product **Veeam Availability Suite v8 **and I would like to share with you details of it.

Veeam Availability Suite v8 Features

Quite recently I had to do emergency ESXi patching due to the fact that one of the servers crashed at night for unknown reason. Troubleshooting and log analysis pointed to outdated firmware and drivers of HBA and NIC’s. In order to do driver update I quickly created baseline in vSphere Update Manager (VUM) and I would like to quickly show you how I did it.

In previous post we installed vRealize Operations Manager appliance which consists of two Virtual Machines - Analytics and User Interface. Today we will hook it up to vCenter Server and finally we can use it. Without wasting time let’s do it.

In most of environments monitoring is one of the most critical infrastructure services in every company. VMware introduced vRealize Operations Manager formerly known as vCenter Operations Manager (vCOPS) to do more than just monitoring.

One of my recent tasks was to upgrade firmware version of virtual connect. I would like to share with you procedure how to do it.

In order to do that you need two things:

• Virtual Connect Support Utility. You can download it from HP website: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04264271
• Virtual Connect Firmware

Backup your domain configuration

In Today’s post I would like to show you installation guide of VMTurbo Operations Manager. After installation I will share some thoughts about it - what I like and what I don’t like.

One of my recent tasks at work was to test **HP 365GB MLC IO Accelerator for BladeSystem c-Class **in order to accelerate Database workloads on Virtual Machines.
