Log4j Vulnerability - What do you need to know?

Hi Everyone, Vulnerabilities wait for no-one, so whilst some are enjoying a weekend off, others are patching to protect against the latest risk. Log4j. This post has two objectives. Firstly I’m sharing my write up regarding the issues I’m aware DO have an impact to VMware, secondly what does this mean to the Veeam products… First up: VMwareI don’t often dedicate a blog post to a particular security vulnerability, but since it has scored a perfect 10 CVE rating, it’s important to be aware ASAP.VMware have identified multiple products that utilise the Apache technology that are vulnerable to the Log4j vulnerability. What is this “Log4j” vulnerability?A Remote Code Execution (RCE) has been discovered in Apache’s Log4j Java Library. It is possible to insert maliciously crafted strings into fields that will be logged, which then leverages the “message lookup substitution” function of Log4j to execute code. This can be used to deploy and execute payloads, or execute commands at a heightened

[Quicktip] Take care when using PowerShell cmdlet Remove-VBRSureBackupJob!

Yesterday I found a strange behavior in the Veeam PowerShell cmdlet Remove-VBRSureBackupJob. What happens: when you use this cmdlet to remove a certain SureBackup-Job using the parameter -Job, ALL SureBackup-Jobs will be deleted!. In my environment version 11.0.0.837 P20210525 was used. It seems the be a bug. [update] In the meantime Veeam confirmed that it is a bug. Also in v11a!https://forums.veeam.com/powershell-f26/remove-vbrsurebackupjob-deletes-all-surebackup-jobs-t78189.htmlSo when you test or plan to using scripted SureBackups, do not use Remove-VBRSureBackupJob currently!

Veeam Certified Architect 2022 - Exam Review and Recommendations

The VMCA2022 exam is officially available since August 2nd 2021. So time to refresh my good old VMCAv1 certification as of 2016 which I did today. In the following I will give you an overview of what to expect and how to prepare.I registered with PearsonVUE through the VMCE certification website. Make sure to read the VMCA 2022 Exam Specification Guide provided there. There were significant changes to the requirements for the VMCA exam. It is not just the new version of the VMCAv1 exam. You will be entitled to sit the exam if you either:attend the Veeam Backup & Replication v11: Architecture and Design training course through a Veeam Authorized Educational Center (VMAEC) attended the “old” Veeam Certified Architect v1 course without sitting the exam within the last 12 months hold the Veeam Certified Architect v1 certification alreadySo there’s no need to be VMCE certified any more which is a major change in comparison to VMCAv1. I’ll come back to that point in my preparation hints

Automate Instant Disk Recovery using the new FCD Restore API

Let's take a look at the new restore endpoints in the Veeam Backup and Replication API - For clarity, I am not talking about the Enterprise Manager API but the new  api attached directly to your VBR install - This is future of automating VBR and I could not be more excited about having this decouple from Enterprise Manager. So, what is a first class disk? Essentially its bunch of capabilities that VMware have opened up in the vSphere API allowing for vendors (or you..) to create block devices independently of a virtual machine. Veeam have hooked into this allowing for you to restore individual disks from a restore point, they create a new datastore over their vPower NFS magic and make this disk available for consumption. High level steps we need to take programatically to make this work Perform the FCD restore using the Veeam B&R API  Find the attached/restored file via the vSphere API (vStorageObjectManager) Reconfigure our target VM to attach the restored VMDK file sitting mounte

[Heads up] Backup function within vCenter Appliance (VCSA) stops working in U3

Another bug in vSphere 7 U3, I just read about. The backup function in the VCSA does not work in U3 any more when DB health check is enabled. Then each backup fails! Fortunately there is a simple solution for this: run /usr/bin/dbcc -fbss embedded in a shell-session in VCSA.More information:official VMware KB article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/86084 Blog post by Andrew Mauro: https://vinfrastructure.it/2021/10/file-level-backup-issue-with-vcenter-7-0-3/This is important because you normally do not see failed backup. So when you never checks them, you would not find out the broken functionality.

[Quicktip] Licensing in Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator

Played around with the new version 5 of Veeam's Disaster Recovery Orchestrator (VDRO). I had some troubles with licenses and wanted to share my outcomes.There are a few components that should be taken into account for licensing:Production VBR server VDRO server Embedded VBR server within VDRO serverSome facts here:Production VBR server Can be added to VDRO server. Which will be normally the case for production installations. For PoC, it is not necessary to do so. When adding to VDRO (an agent will be installed), consider the following: You are not allowed to mix trial and NFR keys! So, when your VDRO server runs a trial (or paid) license, a NFR licensed VBR server cannot be added.   https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vdro/userguide/licensed_objects.html?ver=50#licensing-for-standalone-veeam-backup---replication-servers-with-orchestrator-agents VBR server must have Enterprise or Enterprise PLUS edition licensed.
