#VCDX is back, but can I upgrade from the retired #VCDX to the revamped #VCDX?

This new vSAN ReadyNode guidance is very helpful and I need it right now.

#VMware #vSAN is great storage and I like it.

My #OpenSource alternative is #FreeBSD #ZFS + KnowHow and 30 years experience

New ReadyNode guidance:

1. Less CPU and RAM required.
2. Simpler profile sizing (small/medium/large).
3.estimated IOPS for 8K 70/30 IOPS

!! THIS IS CRITICAL #VMware VULNERABILITY!!

Such types of vulnerabilities are also known as #VMescape because malicious code can be executed on the host (hypervisor) system from the VM Guest OS.

Patch your vSphere Infrastructure ASAP!

[vcdx200 @vcdx200]

@Lost_Signal This is actually positive. TPU will become commodity and Broadcom will sell it to end users via distribution.

[vcdx200 @vcdx200]

@Lost_Signal Yes. They will still probably spent few billions with Broadcom in near future. There are some reports about 6-9 billions in 2024. 2025 and 2026 will probably not slow down.

Shift to MediaTek will definitely take some time 😂 but that’s not a big surprise, right?

How to troubleshoot virtual disk high latencies in #VMware Virtual Machine?

Fortunately, on an #ESX host, we have a useful tool called #vscsiStats

Who is running VMware Home Lab on IPv6?

[David Pasek @david_pasek]

My home lab (3 sites) has been running on #IPv4 for nearly 20 years. Is it the right time to switch to #IPv6 ?

I have just published a blog post, "Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Terms" at https://t.co/n4gsq3GEWC

Are you ready to support your business after the disaster and guarantee business continuity?

Do you test it regularly? 1x, 2x a year?

[vcdx200 @vcdx200]

What is and how to identify #VMware ESX OSDATA partition?

I wrote a quick blog post about this topic just to document it for myself, but I think that other VMware home labbers can find it useful and informative.

Social Security Administration getting deconstructed, and at the same time, a strategic BTC-USD reserve is getting setup, and the President and First Lady have meme coins that they are scamming a ton of money from rubes. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? America, wake up.

[Steven Dickens @StevenDickens3]

Interesting stat 👇

@VMware is the 4th largest contributor to the Kubernetes code base.

In an analyst briefing, I was pushing back on VMware's approach to open-source, and they countered with this datapoint.

Good counter!

[vcdx200 @vcdx200]

@Lost_Signal This is interesting. Have you ever seen design with 3 physical switches to ESXi hosts? This is the only way (3x vmnic) how to leverage #VMware beacon probing and avoid potential black hole scenarios which just recently happened to us with Cisco UCS IO Module software issue.

[vcdx200 @vcdx200]

@Lost_Signal Yes. Cisco price per GB of 6.4TB (in reality it is 5.82 GB) 2.5in U.2 P5620 NVMe (UCSX-NVME4-6400-D=) is almost double (1.8x) cost to your 0.15 cents as it is 0.27 cents per GB. But that’s expected as it is High Perf and High Endurance NVMe drive.

Ingram Micro to 'stop doing business' with Broadcom, downgrade to 'limited engagement' on VMware

Fortunately enough, @IngramMicroInc is not so popular in my area (Central Europe). More common distributors here are @ArrowECS and @TDSYNNEX

Are you looking for @VMware Health Analyzer? It is not easy to find it, so here are links to download and register the tool to get the tool and license.

Hope this helps the VMware user community with not-so-easy @VMware to @Broadcom migration.
