VMware vRealize Log Insight is a log analyser with capabilities to receive logs from regular syslog (so every device that can send syslog over the network) and from agents for Windows and Linux. Mostly every device can be configured to send logs to it and it can be used for quick and easy operation tasks, giving one a full picture of their environment.

Removing VMware Data Security after vShield to NSX upgrade

The (Un)Official VMware VCIX-NV Study Guide

April 6, 2015 / / 0 Comments

VMware NSX-v Configuration Maximums

March 17, 2015 / / 0 Comments

VMware usually publishes a Configuration Maximums paper on their products. NSX has quite a bit of specifics that have a limit, but there is not an official configuration maximums paper yet. I hope there will be one soon, but for now I’ve compiled a list of findings from my travels on the interweb.

Most of the figures on NSX 6.1 are confirmed by a paper from PSO, others are from the documentation and real life limits.

Description NSX 6.0 NSX 6.1

vCenters 1 1
DRS Clusters 12 12
