I’ve been spending some time working with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.1 in my lab environment.

While deploying VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator 8.18.1 in standalone mode through Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager (LCM), I encountered the following error during configuration: Error Code: LCMVROVACONFIG100034 Failed to set VMware Aria Automation as auth…

I’ve recently been interested in creating a TinyCore Linux virtual appliance.

About a year ago, I published a post covering how to monitor a Raspberry Pi using the open source Telegraf agent and VMware Aria Operations: https://enterpriseadmins.org/blog/virtualization/monitoring-a-raspberry-pi-with-telegraf-and-aria-operations Recen…

The VCF PowerCLI 9.1 release notes call out an interesting change to the Connect-VIServer cmdlet (https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vcf/vcf-9-0-and-later/9-1/release-notes/vmware-cloud-foundation-9-1-0-0-release-notes/what-s-new/whats-new-vcf…

While working on my recent post about why crash-consistent VM backups aren’t always enough, I ran into an unexpected but very useful side effect of adding application-aware database backups.

In lab and small-scale environments, it’s common to rely almost entirely on VM-level backups.

Earlier this year, I created a post about using PowerCLI to connect to an environment that was configured for Entra ID authentication (https://enterpriseadmins.org/blog/scripting/how-to-use-powercli-with-entra-id-federated-vcenter-logins/).

VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) is used within vSphere to secure connections between vCenter Server and ESXi hosts, but what if we need certificates for other systems?

In my lab I have a jump box that I typically use for management.
