Hi,
Need one help.
var esxhosts = VcPlugin.getAllHostSystems()
My vRO is hanging whenever I am running the above code. I was reading some articles where it is mentioned that code needs to be written with xpath when doing large queries against VC to consume less source.
Is it possible to retrieve only runtime and config property of hosts using xpath. If yes, how to do it?

The design chapter evaluate various deployment form factors and provides best practices. It offers guidance for a variety of factors including physical infrastructure considerations, compute node requirements, and variably-sized environments from small to enterprise scale data centers.
Finally, in this version of design guide we have a chapter on performance. This chapter has been introduced on public demand from our loyal customer base and aims at clarifying the myths vs facts on NSX-T based SDN.

How can I find out how this is done?

I was unable to extract all the event logs from log insight 4.6.2 due to limitation of log Export to 20,000 results. I wrongly applied the solution mentioned in KB article "VMware Knowledge Base ". After that I am unable to extract any logs in CSV and Raw format and receiving the error message "CSV format export for event trends not yet supported. Please use JSON export instead." Earlier I was able to extract the logs in JSON, CSV and Raw format upto 20000 results.
Can someone please help me to revert the changes to previous state?
Hello,
I need your help.
I want using XSIBackup Free on ESXi 7.0.
Backup working correct, but problem is with email notifications.
XSIBackup must be able to make a change to the file: /etc/vmware/firewall/service.xml
If I try to change the permission manually (from 444 to 644), ESXi will return this error message:
[root@HPMicroS01-ESXi70:~] chmod 644 /etc/vmware/firewall/service.xml
chmod: /etc/vmware/firewall/service.xml: Operation not permitted
[root@HPMicroS01-ESXi70:~]
Thx. for help.
Hi all,
I need to specify the a "Computer Name" in customization spec different from the "Machine Name". I've modified the custom spec in vCenter as shown in the capture below:
But then, I cannot find the way to specify that parameter with custom properties. I always get the same error message: "A specified parameter was not correct: spec.identity.hostname"
I've tried with:
Any ideas?
Thanks.
A specified parameter was not correct: spec.identity.hostname
How do I go about doing things like:
1) Assign this tag if....connected to these portgroups
2) Assign this tag if....within this folder

Topic Name : Export an OVF Template
Publication Name : vSphere Virtual Machine Administration
Product/Version : VMware vSphere/6.7
Question :
As the topic says. I see no such option in the browser. The Export function only export as OVF files (that doesn't actually work) It was so easy to do with the vSphere client. This browser based interface is truly a turd :-(.

Hello.
Im trying to create a new datastore for esxi 7 because I want to boot the physical installation of Windows 10 that I have on the Samsung EVO ssd disk,but it seems that I'm not able to create a new datastore. Infact below you can see that my disk devices are recognized :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YSfBr0P7w3NlZe6W1Gc_7X5WZmOlBb32/view?usp=sharing
but,as u can see below,none of my disks are recognized anymore when I try to create a new datastore :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LSTPciBRyOZYNj1zX8FZFgrIh-YT3I1I/view?usp=sharing
It says : "no devices with free space" but also "the following devices are unclaimed". So,what it looks for ? is asking for an empty sata disk ?
Hello,

Hi, is there a simple way to get all set custom attributes from the vsphere host (esxi) itself?
I am able to see the Custom Attribute "Key and Values" in the GUI on the frontpage, but i could not find the "GET" method in the api documentation? Even in the POSTMAN sdk example files under "host".
Mabye someone here has handled this before? I want to collect all custom host attributes from our bunch of esxi servers.
next question is, can i also see this information in Vrealize? VROPs console? where all esxi events and status is consolidated?

I have 3 vCenter servers. I want to get below reports on daily basis from all 3 different Virtual Center servers. (VC Version - 6.5)
I am looking for a script which I run from a VC, and it generate all these information in one file per VC wise, and then send report to email. I am already using vCheck but specifically looking fa separate script for these tasks only.
I am looking to schedule a backup of all dvswitch from multiple vcenter servers. I am using below script, what else can be added here to to mitigate below points?
1) All vcenter should run from single schedule job
1) Output should have contained vCenter name in starting_portgroup name
2) Schedule the task for daily run at particular time
3) Send an email confirmation after completion

Hello
I have VMWare Workstation 15 Pro (15.5.5) and tried to install MS hyper converged cluster with S2D (Storage Spaces Direct) in my home test environment.
But I got a problem with virtual disks serial numbers (not volume UUIDs).
PowerShell commandlet Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect failed with error "The disk identifier is not unique. The hardware is not compatible with Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)".
And that was true because all virtual disks have same serial numbers in all virtual machines in Hyper-V cluster nodes.
I tried to use these articles:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1010398
But without result. I also tried to use different types of virtual hard disks (SATA, SAS/SCSI, NVMe) and different disk controllers (LSI, PVSCSI etc).
I also tried to move the discs at different SCSI/SAS/SATA/Bus points, as part of one machine they are different but the same on other nodes.
Standard utility vmware-vdiskmanager.exe can't insert any unique serial numbers in .vmdk files.
So any ideas how to solve this problem?
I also use Hyper-V role in my home PC and had no problem with S2D, but my primary test environment is in VMWare Workstation.
It would be nice to find some solution to this rather simple problem.
I have just installed two Vcenter 6.5 systems and they are in linked mode. When I login with the administrator@vsphere.local account and all works fine. I have setup the SSO and I can login with my user account but the linked vcenter does not appear as a linked system? I seems like when I am logged in as the administrator@vsphere.local account the SSO information is the same on both systems.
Any ideas what to check?
