FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Last week the TAM Blog posted an article on the TAM Buddy Program. As part of the VMware TAM program we have many specialized programs in place for our valued TAM customers. There are many programs in different areas that can be provided to you as a TAM customer. How do you find out about these? I suggest that you have a meet up with your TAM and ensure you are discussing your objectives. As a TAM it is our responsibility to bring to you the appropriate programs and resources to ensure that you are getting the correct services at the right time. While the TAM Buddy Program is just one of our many different service offerings as part of the TAM Program, it is worthwhile having the conversation with your TAM, and highlighting what is important to you and your business, now and in the future. Then let us find the right people and programs, that are also changing and being added to all the time for you.
Please don't forget to discuss any SRs and important KBs with your TAM on a regular basis. This is another important aspect to ensure that you are getting the right level of management of all of your critical items that are in play.
With that I wish you all a fantastic week ahead, and thank you for your loyal readership.
Virtually Yours

EXTERNAL NEWS FROM 3RD PARTY BLOGGERS virtuallyGhetto
- VMware Cloud on AWS - VM Creation Date available in vSphere API
I was recently doing some work with my VMware Cloud on AWS instance and I needed to verify something in the vSphere API.

On Saturday, I started to notice that logins to the vSphere Web (Flex) Client stopped working with Google Chrome.

I had seen this message plenty of times in the past and usually restarting Chrome would re... - VPN Configuration to VMware Cloud on AWS using pfSense
Provisioning a new SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC) is not an operation that I perform on a regular basis. Usually, one of the first tasks after a new SDDC deployment is setting up a VPN connection between your on-premises datacenter and your VMC environment. Given this is not a frequent activity, ... - Enabling shell access for Active Directory users via SSH to vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA)
I had a question the other day on whether it was possible to enable shell access for Active Directory users when logging into the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) via SSH?

- Increase Inactivity Timeout on VMware ESXi Host Client

- Getting to grips with NFSv4.1 and Kerberos
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been looking to update some of our older white papers on core storage topics.

Most notably, was the introduction of support for NFS v41 in vSphere 6.0, along wit... - 2-node vSAN – witness network design considerations
It seems that 2-node vSAN for ROBO (remote office/branch office) deployments are becoming more and more popular. The fact that one can now connect the 2 vSAN hosts at the remote office directly back-to-back without needing a 10Gb switch has reduced the cost extensively. And with the introduction of ... - Upcoming speaker session at the Poland/Polska VMUG (Warsaw)

Now to be clear, we can support SMP-FT on vSAN since version 6.1. The difficulty with supporting SMP-FT on vSAN stretched cluster has always been the... - How many hosts are needed to implement SFTT in vSAN Stretched Cluster?
Many of you who are well versed in vSAN will realize that we released a Secondary Failures To Tolerate (SFTT) feature with vSAN 6.6.

- With attendance down does this mean VMworld has jumped the shark?
As I reported in my annual post on my experiences at VMworld, attendance was down this year and in a fairly big way.

Is this a sign that less people care about what … C... - New report from IDC highlights the many benefits of VMware VVols
I find one of the biggest barriers to VVols adoption is lack of customer understanding of what VVols is and what it will do for them. Many customers are happy with VMFS and the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mind-sight is prevalent which keeps them using what they are comf... - VVols enhancements coming in the next vSphere release
I’ve known the VVols roadmap for quite a while but haven’t been able to share that publicly but VMware recently just shared it in a VMworld VVols session that is publicly available on YouTube so I though I would comment on that.
