Support & Technical Advisory
Specialized guidance to help internal IT teams overcome reporting bottlenecks, validate audit findings, and establish sound virtualization management protocols.
How Our Advisory Engagement Works
When internal teams encounter unexpected reporting inconsistencies—such as incomplete VM enumeration, network timeout disconnects on large inventory trees, or ambiguity when calculating provisioned vs. consumed vSAN storage—Lewis & Lindquist RVtools provides dedicated advisory sessions.
Rather than attempting to replace your sysadmins, our consultants work alongside them as technical mentors, verifying configurations, explaining subtle data relationships, and helping your team remediate identified health alerts.
Advisory Boundaries & Data Security
We adhere to strict data security protocols. Advisory sessions are conducted through supervised remote sessions or sanitized export data review. We never request, store, or require root credentials.
Specific Advisory Services Include:
- Connection Troubleshooting: Diagnosing TLS handshake failures, firewall restrictions on port 443, and authentication permission denials.
- vHealth Discrepancy Audits: Explaining false-positive risk factors in zombie VMDK file detection vs. valid active disk chains.
- Capacity Planning Reviews: Translating raw vDatastore metrics into executive-ready lifecycle upgrade recommendations.
- Audit Defense Preparation: Assisting compliance officers and IT managers in assembling verified inventory documentation for external compliance reviews.
