Veeam Availability Suite - NetApp + Veeam
“With Veeam and
NetApp AFF/FAS/FlexArray/V-Series, customers can create image-based backups as
often as needed - even during business hours - with little to no impact on
production environments to deliver recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery
point objectives (RPO), or RTPO of less than 15 minutes for ALL applications
and data, and for all applications in vSphere and Hyper-V environments.”

VMware
VMware has released (on Feb, 15th) a new vCSA version:
vCenter Server 6.5 U1f
And from Gostev’s
Veeam Community Forums Digest aka ‘The Word from Gostev’:
“Notably, this
release patches the vCSA operating system (Photon OS) against bounds-check
bypass (Spectre-1, CVE-2017-5753) and rogue data cache load issues (Meltdown,
CVE-2017-5754). However, there's still no patch for branch target injection
vulnerability (Spectre-2, CVE-2017-5715). This ... 1.5 months after the public
disclosure ... the perfect demonstration of the main drawback of proprietary Linux-based virtual appliances versus
installable software for general-purpose OS. The result ... customers being
exposed to the known threat for an extended period of time ...a software vendor
having to waste many months patching vulnerabilities, instead of moving their
product forward.”
WFA Guy
This was something quite cool from Mr WFA Guy (http://www.wfaguy.com/) but I’ve not seen it
posted...
Nothing
more annoying than realizing the screensaver forced you to the login screen. So
- to prevent the screen from locking - use this little hack!
Create a
new text file somewhere with this content:
set wsc =
CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Do
WScript.Sleep (60*1000)
wsc.SendKeys
("{SCROLLLOCK 2}")
Loop
Rename it
to extension .vbs and run it!
Nothing
appears to happen but in the background wscript.exe is running your script,
which - every minute - will hit the scroll-lock button twice, avoiding a
timeout locking the screen!
