A colleague of mine ran into an issue where vRA was unable to deploy a VM in one of the customers’ vCenter. The customer had an automated way of deploying roles and permissions. So, if vRA was able to deploy a VM in the other vCenters, then that particular vCenter should be fine. But yet […]
After working for 10+ years for an ISP, I joined a public health and research institute. During my interview with them, I found out they were planning to upgrade their IT infrastructure. That was the main reason for the job opening. Up until then, I worked mainly in IT operations. This was my chance to […]

In my current assignment I have to reuse “old” servers to build a new VMware Cloud Foundation platform. The servers already have a vSAN partition, which wasn’t removed before breaking down the old platform. But I guess nobody ever does delete the old vSAN partition, right? I have to remove the vSAN partition on […]
Today I was working on an issue with Workspace One Access. The GUI complained that the cluster is not in time sync. That’s strange as NTP is configured like it should.
