In Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) there are a few ways to select VMs for backup. One of this is to use VMware vSphere tags. New in v11 is the possibility to combine vSphere tags for VM selection. I want to show how this works.
How Advanced Cross vCenter vMotion works
This post is about a new feature in vSphere 7.0 U1c: Advanced Cross vCenter vMotion (XVM). It is similar to Cross vCenter vMotion with a main difference.
PowerCLI Script to check if VMs get backed up by Veeam B&R
In this post I share a small PowerShell/PowerCLI script to check if VMs get backed up by Veeam B&R. If you do not run VeeamONE, it can be challenging to check if every VM that should be backed up, is really backed up. For checking this, this script should be helpful.
Slow VM snapshot deletion on NFS volumes on ESXi hosts
These days I had to troubleshoot a problem with system time within a VMware vSphere VM. During backup VM freezes for more than 30 seconds. When this happens, system time in VM also stops and resets to current time after the freeze. And this behavior causes massive problems in the application-layer. During troubleshooting we found a very slow VM snapshot deletion on NFS volumes on […]
PowerCLI script to count paths to VMFS volumes
When implementing new storages or configure existing ones it is a good idea to check paths (state and amount) to volumes. When operating a few hosts using a few datastores this can be a very time-consuming task when using the GUI. Therefore I wrote the following function.
