Still a lot of people hesitate to make vCenter (was VirtualCenter) virtual. They have a lot of reasons for that.
Let me sum up the most common reasons people mention when they don’t want to virtualize vCenter. After that I will (try to) explain why you should virtualize vCenter in my opinion.
Yesterday I was browsing the VMware site when I stumbled upon a product announcement for new product in 2009. These new products include:
After drawing another Host & Cluster configuration manually
for a Technical Design I decided, enough is enough, lets automate this.
So a new visio stencil is born, nothing fancy but it does the job and you
can quickly draw a Host & Clusters configuration. For example see the
picture on the right side.
New year, new items. As of today VMGuru.nl added a new section called ‘Code pages‘. Here you can find code samples/scripts of topics on our blog, so you don’t need to search the entire site. When you have a usefull, clever or ‘need to share’ script or you have added some nice features to one of ‘our’ scripts, please contact us.
Enjoy!
One of the problems that most people have with virtualizing vCenter is that they don’t know where the vCenter VM is when there are problems.
There’s a fairly easy way to counter this problem.
In the last week these items are added or edited in VMware’s Knowledgebase at http://kb.vmware.com
A lot of people keep talking about the security of virtualization. They say it isn’t safe and stuff like that.
I know this post is a couple of months old, but I think it is important to realize that VMware certainly finds security important.
