Although the Raspberry Pi OS is designed and optimized for the Raspberry Pi module, it is possible to test and use it without its hardware, with VMware. This solution can be useful if you are a developer (or just a curious guy) and don't have a Raspberry Pi module with you

The VMware OVF Tool is implemented by VMware for easily importing and exporting virtual machines in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) standard format. Here, I want to show you how to download and install it, and then how to use it from a Windows machine.

The DNS setting is essential for the vCenter Server Appliance deployment. If you omit its configuration, you will fail the installation. Every production environment must have a DNS service running in the infrastructure, and are those DNS setting the one you use for your deployment. But, there is a chance that you have a test environment or home lab...

In this guide, we will expand a Synology NAS storage pool. If you have empty drive slots on your NAS, you install additional drives and add them to an existing storage pool to increase your NAS capacity and performance.

Joining ESXi host to a Windows Active Directory (domain) will enable a centralized security authority in your vSphere environment. The active directory improves authentication, authorization, and accounting.

I was switching my storage array, so I migrated the VMs from that old datastore/storage to a new datastore/storage. The old datastore was shared by 3 ESXi hosts, no cluster. After migrating the VMs and unmount/delete the datastore, it was still presented in two of the ESXi hosts and was marked as inaccessible.

I have been working on a project with a friend who set up a repository in Gitlab but even though I was able to view all projects on it, I couldn’t really join the repository. I was using SourceTree and Gitlab.

couldn't load private key - Putty key format too new.” This issue happens when you use PuTTygen to generate or convert to a ppk key. Here is how to fix it. 

One of the many and easiest ways to get the logs from the ESXi hosts and vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA), is accessing directly to the files directory using tools such as WinSCP, which helps to transfer the files between a local and a remote computer ( Ex. VCSA). I never have had issues with the ESXi hosts and WinSCP, however, trying to access the VCSA is a different story.

While using offline software bundles, you are unable to install an async driver or latest upgrades on the ESXi host using the command line (CLI). You see: Could not download from depot at zip.
