Sometimes you just need to push yourself a bit out of your comfort zone and public speaking for me lands in that category, since while part of my job is talk...
It seems that I got another Badge.
One of the main challenges when we are designing and implementing Avi/NSX Advanced Load Balancer configurations will be the decision between which of the Ela...
Setting up a Virtual Service in a Load Balancer is normally a simple task:
It has been ages since I was able to write a blog post, so lets get the house a bit in order.
When moving from NSX-V to NSX-T there is the option of using the NSX-T Migration Coordinator, however sometimes our NSX-V configuration cannot fit the ones s...
You can use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to dynamically assign IP addresses and other network configuration to our devices.
The initial idea of this post was to do a quick walkthrough of the upgrade of VMware Log Insight from 8.1.0 to 8.1.1, however the upgrade gone sideways and I...
This was already a couple of weeks ago, but I was able to keep the vExpert NSX sub-program honour for one more year.
I started to run a Cacti server in my Homelab just for fun and to have an overview of some key metrics of the virtual machines, servers, switches, storage an...

One of the fundamental tasks of an NSX-T deployment is creating new segments.
When you use for ages a SSH client that magically just works and it is pretty simple to setup as PuTTY.

I am happy to inform that got another star in the vExpert ladder.
This post is not a new method or even new information, it is more a consolidated run through on how to get VMware PowerCLI modules installed in MAC OS.
When we deploy a set of ESXi’s most of the times we endup enabling SSH and ESXi shell to help troubleshooting.
Internet Access is overrated
Anyone that worked with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) knows that passwords and valid special characters can be a tricky business.
And we got in the vExpert NSX sub-program.
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is an integrated software stack that uses SDDC Manager as a tool to automate the deployment and lifecycle management.
This is a quick snippet explaining how to use Powershell to configure the DHCP service in an Edge Security Gateway (ESG).

New company, new gear and the plain/fun of going through the hassle of setting up your laptop and all tweaks and preferences that you love.
After a big break on the blogging, for really good personal reasons, lets get back to it by starting with some house cleaning.
Title seems a bit strange and even a bit overly optimistic.
Every year in October/November it is becoming usual a quick trip to Barcelona (Spain) to attend VMWorld - Europe for all VMware enthusiasts or anyone interes...
The title seems weird and at first glance we will think… NO WAY

Code Bits&Pieces and Context
We want to setup a Content Library in our central vCenter and then allow the other vCenters in our Nested Labs to subscribe it without adding a lot of comple...
It seems that I got in.
One of the big advantages of the NSX is to a Software Defined Network (SDN) solution given us the ability to code once and execute as many times.
Nested ESXi’s are part of the gear that we all have around for labs/study purposes.
This is a quick powershell script to setup the remote syslog in all the hosts of a cluster or vCenter.
This is a quick powershell script that setups up ESXi Power Policies in all the hosts in a cluster or vCenter.
There are multiple ways of adding extra storage policies and apply them to multiple virtual machines and plenty of VMware documentation and others to show ho...
In our Homelabs, we normally make some “architecture compromises” that add some extra complexity when we need to upgrade it.
In our Homelabs, or even in production environments, we always have some harmless log entries that we would be happy to stop them from filling up our logs.
Following the earlier post PowerCLI - Check MTU size configured in all hosts physical nics of a cluster lets see what more can we do with Get-EsxCli cmdlet.
Nowadays with the quick vSAN and NSX adoption, pushing the MTU configuration out of the 1500 bytes standard is becoming more and more common.
