Virtualization

Another article that focuses on NIC Teaming and Link Aggregation. When we consolidate multiple servers onto a single physical HW (because the performance of the CPU, memory and other components is quite sufficient), it is very useful to increase the security and throughput of the network connection by connecting through multiple network interfaces. I consider VMware ESX to be the best visualization platform today, where the ESXi version is even free, so I'm committed to it.

A description of the basic operations to enable a connection from a VMware ESXi Server (iSCSI Initiator) to an iSCSI Target over a SAN. That is, connecting to a disk array and disk mapping (LUN), including setting up Multipath, and creating a datastore. The description is for VMware vSphere version 6.5, but is similar on other versions.

Veeam ONE is a solution for monitoring and analyzing the Veeam Backup & Replication backup solution, but also the entire virtual infrastructure on the VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V platform. We will describe basic installation and configuration, connection to Veeam Backup & Replication Server, VMware vCenter Server and System Center Virtual Machine Manager Server. Installation is simple and not much configuration is required to make the product work. But some things are good to know.

The Veeam ONE solution uses a rich client that enables monitoring of backup and virtual infrastructure. And a web client that provides dashboards and reports. In this article, we'll look at the basic usage and features of the rich Veeam ONE Client for infrastructure monitoring and management. An important part of the solution are alarms that alert you to events, changes and problems.

A brief description of the in-place upgrade of Veeam ONE 12 to version 12.2. The whole process is simple and hassle-free. It should work similarly for other versions as well.
