In this blog, we will take a look at how to identify and resolve these stale entries. NOTE This guide is not a quick solution, be aware of the commands we are running can have a […]

Cloud Pod Architecture

VMware horizon hidden gem – Cloud Pod Architecture

I wanted to write the last blog post for this year on some hidden gems that possibly some people do not know exist in VMware horizon 7 and 8. In this blog we will discuss a feature called cloud pod architecture that perhaps you already have read about in my VCAP DTM study guide. But for those that don’t have […]

VMUGBE session Jens Herremans

VCAP DTM design session – VMUG Belgium

Last week, I was fortunate to be able to do a session “In the trenches by day, aspiring to be an architect by night” at our own VMUG in Belgium. Together with my good friend Maarten Van Driessen, we did a session on how to best approach a new design from an architectural point of view. This was a high-level […]

The initial HCX Cloud and Enterprise appliance did […]

Study guide VCAP7-DTM

VCAP7-DTM Design study guide Part 3

Continuing our VCAP7-DTM design study guide, we will continue with section 4: physical storage design. In sections 1 to 3 of the blueprint, we started with the logical and conceptual designs of the VMware methodology. Based on this we created the physical design, which should contain all building blocks that are going to be used for that specific use-case. Based […]

VMware Identity Manager – Invalid Suite Token

When redeploying my Horizon lab today, I encountered a strange issue when configuring the identity manager. I tried to add my active directory into Identity Manager (IDM), but got the following error: “Connector communication failed because of invalid data: Invalid token suite“. The deployment of my lab was pretty straight forward as in 1 connection server, 1 IDM appliance and […]

VCAP7-DTM Design study guide – part 2

In the previous post of our VCAP7-DTM design study guide, we discussed sections 1 and 2 of the blueprint. These were logical and conceptual designs of the VMware methodology. Now based on these, we will continue our design and start with the physical part of the designing process. Once more, designing a solution for a customer is an agile process. […]
