Accelerate Teaser - VMware -> OpenStack
Big changes are afoot in the Virtualization world with the introduction of Broadcom's new licensing model for VMware. People are looking at how to move from VMware to another visrtualization platform. At Accelerate in Las Vegas, 2025, we will be showcasing a new feature in OpenStack that will allow you to seamlessly migrate VMware guests that currently exist on a Pure Storage FlashArray, either in a datastore or as a vVol, directly into OpenStack. Using a simple process, sometimes only requiring one step, your VMware guests can be made availble in your OpenStack cluster. As part of this Accelerate FlashTalk we will demonstrate this process using manual, GUI-based methods, and also using full automation with Ansible.

We are using vvols for a specific project and noticed that vCenter shows capacity incorrectly.
It looks like (provisioned space = capacity - free space + uncommitted). We started out with a 1PB datastore and only 200TB of data, but vCenter showed the datastore full. We doubled the size of the datastore and vCenter immediately doubled the used space. Most of the unknown usage shows up as “other” in vCenter. Pure shows the correct usage. We have tickets open with both vendors. VMware is pointing the finger at Pure and Pure at VMware. We really don’t care where the problem lies…just want it fixed. Has anyone else experienced this issue before? Do you have any tips on resolving it?Solved21Views1like3CommentsWe’re headed to VMUG Connect 2025 in St. Louis!
