The keys never persist in vCenter and simply pass-through to the cluster hosting the workload. Encryption keys are stored in whatever KMIP 1.1 compliant KMS you decided to deploy. Where are the keys stored for VM encryption?Ī. We support any KMIP 1.1 compliant key management server. You’ll have to account for time to encrypt / decrypt.Ī. Will the vmotion encryption slow down the vmotion?Ī. Of course – those APIs are still available to those vendors. Can you still encrypt VMs with 3rd party vendors?Ī. Absolutely we just released the hardening guide for vSphere 6.5 at. Is there a hardening guide for vSphere 6.5?Ī. Yes, You can set the tool up to do a one time or a schedule. Can the vCenter appliance backups be scheduled to run on a regular basis?Ī. A single vCenter license for a VCHA setup of three machines. When using VCHA how many vCenter licenses are required for the three machines?Ī. Already authenticated sessions will remain connected. If a PSC is not functioning new authentication attempts to vCenter will not work. Q. What happens if the PSC is ‘down’? What functionality do you lose?Ī.

You will need to install vROps – at least the standard addition What are the added requirements on the vCenter server for predictive DRS?Ī. There are a number of features only available to the appliance including: native vCenter HA, native backup and restore, single click upgrade and simplified support models. Why should we use the vCenter appliance on 6.5 instead of windows?Ī.
The *only* reason you need an external PSC in v6.5 is if you want to use Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM). Do you need external PSC if using products such as site recovery manager?Ī. What is the link for the decision tree to choose platform services controller topologies?
So assume we have two PSCs: PSC1 and PSC2 the load balancer points to PSC1 and it fails then the load balancer points all traffic to PSC2 and resumes traffic. Both PSC’s are active but only one PSC at a time can service requests. Is there a manual step to make the load balancer switch to the secondary PSC?Ī. If you want enhanced linked mode the PSC’s will have to be external. Yes 100% supported up to 10 PSC’s and 10 VC’s total pointing any combination you want. Is having three platform service controllers and three vCenters each vCenter pointing to their own PSC supported.Ī. F:APIUTILS!51004&PageID=747A2F8A-E3DD-451B-8172-0F8F16EB464BĪ number of live questions were asked and I figured I would highlight some frequently asked questions from the series: You can see the on demand recordings here:

I was recently involved in recording a series of Webinars to help customers understand how to upgrade to vSphere 6.5.
