Dell EMC VMAX and PowerMax CP 1.3/Log Insight 8.6

VMware recently released the vRealize Suite 8.6 which includes Log Insight version 8.6. You may have noticed they skipped Log Insight 8.5, though it is not the only vRealize product that did not have a version 8.5.

VMAX CP for Log Insight rebrand

When Dell took over EMC, there were a number of sub-company names created for the purposes of distinguishing products across our portfolio.

VMware Log Insight 4.0

VMware just released Log Insight (LI) version 4.0.

Alerts with VMAX ESA/Content Pack for Log Insight

In my last post (https://drewtonnesen.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/esa-2-4-1-ga-vplex-vmax-fast-vp/) I noted that one of the futures we are looking into for VMAX ESA is the ability to record alerts against resources.  This capability would be completely inherent to ESA.  I also mentioned, however, that we can do something similar with VMware Log Insight (LI) in conjunction with VMAX ESA. …

VMAX3 and the VMAX CP for VMware Log Insight

A quick note here in the wake of our big announcement this week about the VMAX³ platform (http://pulseblog.emc.com/2014/07/08/new-vmax-introduces-new-category-enterprise-data-service-platform).  I have done thorough testing of the 2.0 version of my VMAX Content Pack for VMware Log Insight and am happy to report that it will work out-of-the-box with the VMAX³ platform (when you get your hands…
