VCF full stack from October 2027 – myth or truth?
A myth that will not go away, and one VMware's competitors are happy to repeat: “from October 2027 a full-stack VCF implementation is mandatory”. It simply is not true.
VLR Appliance 9.0.4 – HBR-Agent can't be installed
You installed VLR Appliance 9.0.4 and it will not install the Host Based Replication Agent for ESX. If you run a vSAN stretched cluster, there is a workaround.
vSAN Witness Appliance 9.0
You have probably run into the same problem I did: a freshly deployed 9.0 Witness Appliance that ignores its configuration and reports an expired licence.
VCF Operations for Logs 9.0
You upgraded VCF Operations to 9.0, lost the link to VCF Operations for Logs, found there is no upgrade path for it, rebuilt it, and now want the connection back.
vSphere 7 retires: end of support in October 2025
It is now definitely time to say goodbye to vSphere 7. Security updates and support end on 2 October 2025.
Broadcom Download Token
From now on your vCenter or SDDC Manager needs a unique token. Without it, from the end of April 2025, no patches for VMware software will download any more.
vSAN Data Protection
vSAN 8 Update 3 brought the Data Protection feature, which closes the last gap against conventional block storage. You can now snapshot workloads on production storage directly.
vSAN Snapshot Service Appliance for vSAN Data Protection
VMware released with vSAN 8 Update 3 the data protection feature which enables based on the tremendous power of ESA's snapshotting engine an all new levels of data protection and agility.
Disaster recovery with VMware Live Cyber Recovery

Broadcom Support Portal Challenge
The VMware tools moved to the Broadcom portals on 6 May. Since then there has been disillusion and, in places, bewilderment. A lot of accounts are simply empty.
Working out the VCF core count for VCSP
As an existing VMware VCPP partner you now face joining a VCSP partner under a white-label model, unless you can deliver the 3500 cores yourself. We offer that white labelling.
