irgNET – LAB 4.0
Welcome to the 3rd major update of my Home Lab. In this update, I took care at the hypervisor, as vSphere 7.0 was finally released. In addition, I added another one to the HPE DL380p Gen8 with similar Specs except Ram.
The update from vSphere 6.7 U3 to 7.0 was very easy, both the vCenter and the ESXi could be updated without problems. The new server got a HPE/VMware ESXi 7.0 custom image directly and was also ready for the new release.
The servers were clustered in vCenter and the DRS feature was turned on.
Distributed Resource Scheduler
Group VMware ESXi hosts into resource clusters to segregate the computing needs of different business units. VMware vSphere clusters allow you to:
- Provide highly available resources to your workloads.
- Balance workloads for optimal performance.
- Scale and manage computing resources without service disruption.

In addition to the physical Veeam backup server, I have built a virtual Jumphost, which is accessible via RDP. And this is how the whole thing looks:
