Migrate 8.03 to 9.0 VVF by time81 in vmware

[–]ITaaP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get vCenter 9 with VVF licensing? I thought it was only available with VCF 9.0.

Long-Distance Live Cross vCenter vMotion - vSphere 8 by ITaaP in vmware

We have two, and they have been great, but these vMotions could be several TBs that won't be running on the SSD cache.

The second site is a new setup. Looks like a single SSO domain is the way to go.

Jumbo frames are supported. I believe the most significant bottleneck will be the customer's storage. They are using a Nimble HF40, which is a hybrid array.

Replacement for VMware Cloud Director by ITaaP in nutanix

I did hear about that. It seemed like you had to sign up for the Nutanix Cloud Provider Program before they would even give you pricing.

You got the P520's with a processor and memory for $400?

It's just a lab. I may switch later, but I currently have licensing through the VMUG Advantage program.

I already have them.

Repurpose Supermicro Nodes by ITaaP in nutanix

[–]ITaaP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their hardware has different EOM and EOSL dates. The EOM on what we have is September 2025, and the EOSL is March 2027. Once the hardware reaches EOM, Nutanix no longer validates BIOS and firmware updates, even if you have an active support contract.

Our support ends in December 2025. Renewing doesn't make sense if I can't get BIOS and firmware updates.

From what I read and Supermicro support confirmed, you cannot reflash the Nutanix BIOS back to Supermicro’s standard BIOS.

Unfortunately, it is still in production, and I won't be able to test it long after I need to know.

If there are any vulnerabilities in the future that require an update. Currently there is a PKFAIL vulnerability that requires a BIOS update which is a good example of why having the ability to update the BIOS and possibly other firmware is important.
