Virtualisation

I am a bit late in getting this post up (due to being on the road at TechEd Australia & TechEd New Zealand); but last week we released a hotfix rollup package. This package includes the fixes for three of the five issues that I recently blogged about.  The specific issues that are addressed are: KB Number: KB975530 Title:Stop error message on an Intel Xeon 5500 series processor-based computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 and that has the Hyper-V role installed: "0x00000101 - CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT"...

Last week I received the latest support call statistics for Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 – and it seems that a number of you are hitting problems that we know about – and have hotfixes “ready to go” for.  So I would like to take a moment to bring these hotfixes to your attention.  The first three are system crashes that are caused by processor erratum that were discovered after Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 shipped: KB Number: KB975530 Title: Stop error message on an Intel Xeon 5500 series processor-based...

C’est certainement la fonctionnalité qui fait couler le plus d’encre lorsque l’on évoque le futur Service Pack 1 pour Windows Server 2008 R2. En effet ce prochain SP très orienté virtualisation va apporter un grand changement dans Hyper-V puisqu’il va permettre l’allocation dynamique de mémoire aux machines virtuelles. Pour rappel, il va désormais être possible d’allouer non plus une taille fixe de RAM nécessaire à votre VM mais une fourchette, allant du minimum requis pour démarrer cette VM à la quantité maximal de RAM qu’elle...

ESX 4.1 is the Last ESX! What Do I Do Now?VMware shipped ESX Server 1.0 way back in 2001. While the word “Server” was lost over time, another bigger thing was not: the Console Operating System (a.k.a. Service Console or COS), a Linux instance that facilitated local management operations. While this administrative environment had an important role early on when centralized management with vCenter Server wasn’t as common as today, it also introduced overhead and made our platform less secure and robust as it could have been without...
