Whats new vSphere 5.0 at svmotion

vSphere 5.0 uses a mirrored-mode approach for Storage vMotion. In this new architecture,

Storage vMotion copies disk blocks between source and destination and replaces the need for the iterative pre-copy phase. This was used in the Changed Block Tracking (CBT) method in earlier versions of vSphere. With I/O mirroring, a single-pass copy of the disk blocks from the source to the destination is performed. I/O mirroring ensures that any newly changed blocks in the source are mirrored at the destination. There is also a block-level bitmap that identifies hot and cold blocks of the disk, or whether the data in a given block is already mirrored in the destination disk.

The Software-Defined Data Center

Software-Defined Architectures That Deliver Impact Today a software-defined architecture leverages logical infrastructure services that are abstracted from, as opposed to integrated with, the underlying hardware. Several of today’s largest technology companies in the Internet and social network space leverage this approach to drive aggressive cost savings and improve manageability for certain types of workloads. These hyperscale architectures use commodity hardware components, which are then combined with proprietary technologies such as custom applications, platforms, and containers. The final service. For example, social media and proprietary public cloud service—is then provided to customers. However, for the SDDC to be most applicable to enterprises, it must meet four key requirements—key pillars of the VMware architecture for the SDDC: First, it must run traditional applications, without re-architecting them, in addition to cloud-native applications. Second, it must enable ...

Reconnect of Vcenter which enabled a re synch with Vcloud,

This may be an indicator of Vcloud DB performance issues and I would recommend performing some clean up of both Vcenter and Vcloud DB's. Befroe running any of these procedures please make a back up of your DB Vcenter DB Maintenance Run this on all Vcenter Instances 1. Stop the vCenter Server Service 2. Stop the vCloud Cell Services for all Cells (Service vmware-vcd stop) 3. Run the following against the vCenter DB: ALTER TABLE VPX_EVENT_ARG DROP CONSTRAINT FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_EVENT; ALTER TABLE VPX_EVENT_ARG DROP CONSTRAINT FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_ENTITY; ALTER TABLE VPX_ENTITY_LAST_EVENT DROP CONSTRAINT FK_VPX_LAST_EVENT_EVENT; truncate table VPX_TASK; truncate table VPX_ENTITY_LAST_EVENT; truncate table VPX_EVENT; truncate table VPX_EVENT_ARG; alter table VPX_EVENT_ARG add constraint FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_EVENT foreign key(EVENT_ID) references VPX_EVENT (EVENT_ID) on delete cascade; alter table VPX_EVENT_ARG add constraint FK_VPX_EVENT_ARG_REF_ENTITY foreign key (OBJ_TYPE) refe...

An Introduction to Kubernetes

Introduction Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. The open source project is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ( CNCF ). we'll discuss some of Kubernetes' basic concepts. We will talk about the architecture of the system, the problems it solves, and the model that it uses to handle containerized deployments and scaling. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes , at its basic level, is a system for running and coordinating containerized applications across a cluster of machines. It is a platform designed to completely manage the life cycle of containerized applications and services using methods that provide predictability, scalability, and high availability. as a Kubernetes user, you can define how your applications should run and the ways they should be able to interact with other applicatio...
