If you follow the link in the update section in the article - the one for the EMC Information Storage Management Book that should take you where you need to go, you need to fill in a survey but then you can download it. Please bear in mind that this is a Navisphere simulator only

Re: Microsoft VDI licensing –VDA and Microsoft WinTPC

c0ns1stent — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 09:40:42 -0000

As I see it the problem is not just cost. I would like to offer a VDA service to CASUAL users, without the red tape of having to register them for a licence. I do not want to worry about which version of Windows (or non-Windows OS) the user has. They would access a session using open software e.g. VNC which they can source themselves if technical, or can be provided as an easy download for a wide range of devices and operating systems. A web-based approach e.g. Java Applet is also possible.

So the idea is: user wants to use windows" for a few hours to a few days, we want to let them do this without an onerous registration process or restrictive platform requirements. Just payment, and access.

I guess M$ don't want us to offer the service. We can of course do something similar with Open Source e.g. Linux + OpenOffice but will lose some customers this way who want a Windows Desktop on Demand"

Craig, great article! Thanks for sharing with us! I would like to see a follow up post with some use cases. Now we know how to set it up but how do we actually use it? Any gotchas with FASTVP etc? I know Duncan has a post on this so as some others but from a VNX and VMAX perspective it would be useful.

Re: Configuring VASA with EMC arrays – CLARiiON, VNX and VMAX

Bas Raayman — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 13:57:45 -0000

Craig, just a small note. I set this up in our lab environment in Munich, where we also have the VSI plugin installed. Make sure that you sync your storage arrays there. I had a small problem with the file side of a VNX not syncing in the VSI, and that prevented the storage capabilities from showing up under the storage profiles.

So, if you use both VASA/SMI-S and the VSI plugin, make sure all relevant arrays in the VSI plugin sync properly, otherwise you might run in to issues.

Nice blog, but that brings many other potential architecture design questions that come to mind. One of them being about the other bottle necks such as the network infrastructure.

Re: Configuring VASA with EMC arrays – CLARiiON, VNX and VMAX

Virtualpro — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:41:04 -0000

The VSI interrogates the information for specific components from the array directly. With VASA the ECOM server sits in the middle and interrogates the arrays it is connected to, based on the information it recieves around disk type and RAID configuration it assigns it a label, i.e. unprotected, capacity, performance, etc. There is a table at the top of the blog post that shows the V1.0 labels that will be assigned. Long answer but in short VASA does not provide any extra information over the VSI.

Ricardo Oliveira — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:26:42 -0000

Thank you! Just out of curiosity: I installed the VSI in my vSphere client and it also provides storage information. I was wondering if VASA provides any extra information about the storage or if it just gives the same.
