When update 2 came out for vCenter 6 recently I jumped on it. Thinking that since it was an update there should not be any issues to come from it. Then one day I was looking at the Xtrem IO and noticed close to 1TB of bandwidth being used. I saw that all the activity was coming from the SQL server that our vCenter used. So I immediately got with our DBA, and he confirmed that it was vCenter creating all that IO. Luckly VMware support was able to quickly send me to this article.

It’s Time To Reconsider My Thoughts on GPUs in VDI…
Last year, I wrote that it was too early to consider GPUs for general VDI use and that they should be reserved only for VDI use cases where they are absolutely required. There were a number of reasons for this including user density per GPU, lack of monitoring and vMotion, and economics. That lead to a Frontline Chatter podcast discussing this topic in more depth with industry expert Thomas Poppelgaard.
When I wrote that post, I said that there would be a day when GPUs would make sense for all VDI deployments. That day is coming soon. There is a killer app that will greatly benefit all users (in certain cases) who have access to a GPU.
Last week, I got to spend some time out at NVIDIA’s Headquarters in Santa Clara taking part in NVIDIA GRID Days. GRID Days was a two day event interacting with the senior management…

VM Fails to Power On
Recently I had a strange problem. Power off VM’s would not power on, and would give this generic error.
I found KB 1006232 and was able to power on the VM by command line, but I was still not able to power them on by directly connecting to the host through the C client. Or using vCenter through the web and C client. I tried a lot of things, but in the end restarting the vCenter server fixed everything.

Reason I was very excited about Virtual SAN is because I felt it would provide anyone the ability to develop a hyper-converged offering. Many VMware partners have already done this, and with the VSAN […] ” EMC and VMware introduce VxRail, a new hyper-converged appliance ” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com .
