Automating VMware EVC Mode with PowerCLI

If you’ve ever tried to live-migrate virtual machines between ESXi hosts with different CPU generations, you’ve probably encountered compatibility errors. That’s exactly what Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) mode solves. This comprehensive guide walks you through everything you need to know…

Introduction Network File System (NFS) datastores provide a flexible and cost-effective storage solution for VMware vSphere environments. This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to create an NFS datastore in vSphere, walking you through the entire configuration process from setting up your…

Introduction Choosing the right storage protocol for your VMware infrastructure is crucial for optimal performance, scalability, and management efficiency. Two primary storage solutions dominate the VMware vSphere ecosystem: VMFS (Virtual Machine File System) and NFS (Network File System). This comprehensive…

ERSPAN (Encapsulated Remote SPAN) in a vSphere Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) is a network traffic-mirroring feature that allows you to copy VM or uplink traffic and send it to a remote system over IP for monitoring or analysis. ERSPAN (Encapsulated…

Port Mirroring in vSphere (also called SPAN or vSphere Distributed Switch Port Mirroring) is a feature that lets you copy network traffic from one or more virtual switch ports and send it to another port for monitoring, analysis, or security…
What is Port Mirroring in vSphere? Port mirroring in vSphere is a critical network monitoring feature that copies network traffic from one or more virtual machine network adapters to a designated destination for analysis. This capability, built into VMware’s distributed…

Understanding vCenter 8.0 Root Password Expiration When your vCenter 8.0 root password expired, it can bring critical virtual infrastructure management to a halt. VMware vCenter Server implements default password expiration policies as a security measure, with root passwords typically expiring…

Introduction Networking is one of the most critical components of any virtualized environment. In VMware ESXi, virtual machines (VMs) rely on virtual switches to communicate with each other and the external network. One of the most fundamental networking constructs in…

VMware vSphere Replication is a software solution designed for backup and recovery of data in virtualized infrastructures using VMware vSphere. The tool allows users to replicate virtual machines (VMs) from one site to another online, with low latency, automatically, and without…
