VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.7.0.10000
NSX manager 6.4.0
hi,
first i don't know about ssl vcenter also rely on the certificate to connect. How do I make a secure connection between esxi and server. I need to set up a server for the certificate. i don't know if i need something like that. why is ssl made
Hi,
What are the commands to open TCP port 843 inbound on the VCSA, this is needed for EMC Unity for VCSA discovery.
Hi,
I want to migrate VMs from vCenter 5.5.0 U1b to vCenter 6.5 U1b using Converter Standalone 6.2.
When Converter tries to connect the source vCenter (5.5) I receive this error:
"A general system error occurred: SSL Exception: error:14077102:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unsupported protocol"
The error seems to be related to the certificate.
Could you help me?
Thanks

I tried to get vCenter's alarms through SNMP4J, but I can only obtain a few SNMP trap such as vsphere-client alarm.
I want SNMP to get all the alarms displayed in vcenter, including the shutdown of the virtual machine.
vCenter SNMP trap only contain itself alarms, and other alarms need to be configured the ESXi's SNMP to obtain?
Can I pass other alarms through vCenter SNMP trap?
Hi,
I did an update of vcenter appliance from 6.5U1g to 6.5U2c . Now I see many hosts reporting issues with vSphere HA agent - cannot be installed or configured.
If I try to turn off HA on the cluster, I get the following error:
License not available to perform the operation.
The license may not include some features. Make sure the License Service is available.
After rebooting one esxi host, I cannot connect it to the cluster:
Cannot complete the license assignment operation
Can not assign a license to "Host" xxxx. Make sure the License Service is available.
The only change was this update to 6.5 9451637 (u2c) from 6.5 U1g.
Anyone has seen something like this?
Hello,
Not sure exactly where to post this but having a weird issue with our Cisco UCS Chassis w/ B200 M5 blades running ESXi 6.5 hosts for our Horizon environment.
We have two data centers running an identical configuration and cluster size to support our Horizon desktops. On 10/30 we lost power to a Cisco UCS Chassis at one of our data centers and 8 of our blades went down with it. There were no indications of spikes in resources, panel/circuit issues, etc. The weird part is that the following day we lost a chassis at the other data center (with 8 M5 blades).
We have been told by Cisco this was due to our ESXi hosts over-consuming resources and triggered a power supply failure. VMware analyzed logs and determined that it was indeed a power supply issue but was not something caused by the hosts.
I know it's a shot in the dark but I'm curious if any others have run into this issue or have any advice for troubleshooting as it is now a finger pointing game between vendors. Not sure if it may be a bug within the UCS Chassis or even perhaps the ESXi hosts.
Appreciate any insight you may be able to give.
Thanks!

just curious of the steps necessary to get this accomplished. Do i need to get to an appliance on 5.5 then go to 6.5 or can i go straight to 6.5 Appliance from 5.5 Windows?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Boa tarde pessoal, estou com problemas em integrar o vCenter Server ao vShield, já verifiquei as configurações e estão todas correta.
Ao inserir os dados do vCenter aparece o seguinte erro:
Era para aparecer a tela para aceitar o certificado.
Aguem poderia me ajudar?

Hi,
We are using vCenter 6.5.0.10000 Build 5973321 with physical host running VMware ESXi, 6.0.0, 7967664.
Host has 12G SAS modular RAID controller attached to it.
From time to time, we are seeing that some datastores are becoming inactive / inaccessible. And another datastore is not visible at all.
In this case out of total 8 datastores, 3 are inaccessible as shown below and 1 is missing.
What causes datastore reach inaccessible / inactive states? What is the difference between these states?
What makes a DS go missing and reappear after host is rebooted?
Host reboot fixes the problems but that is not an acceptable solution. Can you please help us resolve these 2 issues?
Thanks,
Rama
recently i just encountered a trouble when trying to deploy a vm from a template.
i must to use the AD domain user account(which has limited permission) to perform this task and deploy the VM in the vsandatastore,
however, in the stage of "select storage" the compatibility section only shows "validating" and never stop.
The process hung at "validating" the vsanDatastore forever and prevent this deploy task from finishing, as shown in figure.
the template was created by the highest administrator right in the vsanDatastore but i guess this is not the point??
is it due to the permission problem on domain user?
HI,
i need to calculate the chargeback (costs) for a vm per day or month (not only the basis cost, the running costs too. The best were be a tool that running all the time for reporting.
VMWare Chargeback ist out of life for normal customers.
Is out there another tool that cann calculatre the tco and roi and runnign costs?
How that making big companies the cost calculation ?
Greetings.
So I´m building a lab scenario that simulates 3 sites (HQ, branch1, branch2) and a small ISP network in between.
I normally would build that with just VLAN separation, but I wonder if separate switches are a stricter segmentation (think of VLAN hopping attacks, it´s harder to hop vswitches I hope (pun intended). What´s best practice here? One big vswitch with many portgroups or multiple switches (like in real life) with only a few portgroups per switch?
One of the virtual firewalls I´m testing demands promiscuous mode or does not work.I also need PM in order to sniff single segments, since the endpoints involved sometimes don´t have tcpdump available (hardened virtual appliances). So I need to build a sniffer VM that will then be patched into the various places. Easy to activate, but....
I´d like the "users" in my virtual ACME Corp. to not be able to run wireshark and see what they get.
AFAIK, PM can only be configured on vswitch or portgroup level, so it´s either everybody on the switch/vlan or nobody.
Is there any way to have PM enabled/disabled on port level?
Currently ESXi only, but I think about getting the VMUG subscription, so if some serious switching asks for something bigger than ESXi, I´d probably be able to get that (NSX? No idea, I only did host virtualization so far with simple network setups)
Hi.
I would like to change the MTU setting for the VCSA.
I've tried the instructions in the thread - Re: Change MTU in VCSA 6.5
Which do not work - MTU is not changed from the default 1500.
Has anyone manged to change the VCSA MTU successfully? Is this documented from VMware anywhere ? - I can't find anything.
Thanks in advance...
I don't know if anybody else has celebrated this but it is worth noting. May it burn in he11! Now VMware, can we get back the lost productivity from using that POS?
:-)
Hi All,
We have certain VM which need to be moved to a different DC which have network connectivity which will help us to make sure our system is proper failover scenarions.
EXSI currently in 5.0.0 (SOURCE)
This VLAN is in standard switch.
Different Vcenter
Exsi desitination is 5.5 (DESTINATION)
This VLAN is in distributed switch.
We would like to bring the VMs to be migrated in the source EXSI to desination EXSI.
Please let me know the procudeure and precheck parameters i need to check for this to work.
VMs moving to destination will undergo IP address change, hosname change and DNS server change.
Kindly guide me
anyone having issues upgrading vCenter Appliance6.5.0.21000 Build Number 8815520 to6.5.0.22000 Build Number 9451637 that was released on August 14th 2018 ?
i tried upgrading two non-production vCenter Appliances and both failed to install the update/upgrade.
I have a lab and a production VCSA 6.5. They both fail repeatedly trying to apply photon patches. I have tried updating from the online repository as well as downloading the ISO and attaching it to the VCSA DVD/CD from the ESX datastore repository.
Lab is version 6.5.0.10000 Build Number 5973321, vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller. Trying to apply 6.5.0.11000 Build Number 6816762.

Both logged in as root. With the prod VCSA, after trying 6-7 times, it finally updated. However, I would like to find the cause to resolve it.
Please advise what logs I can look at to determine where the failure resides.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
hi,
I have 3 esxiserver . sockets :2 - cores per socket :10 - logical processors : 40 . I wonder how many virtual machines with vcpu can run on this cluster. just wonder that how many vcpu ?
host failures cluster tolerates : 1

| Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz | 2 | 10 | 20 | 2,200 | True | True |
