Are you able to restart the hosts which exhibit the error? I would try that first.

Re: ESXi 6.0.0 vSphere License key Error
I'll have to schedule an interruption, but I should be able to manage that over the next few days.
I'll report back once I've given this a try.
Thank you for the suggestion!

Re: vRA 7.6 Stuck in Progress.. for days
Its a hell guys!!
How can a simple power off action stay stuck for days in progress with no error message in UI at version 7.6?
Any developer can help please? any ideas?
Re: vRA 7.6 Stuck in Progress.. for days
There is no approval process active, the owner of the deployment cannot power off or destroy your deployment/VM. Its like a hell. I am almost re-installing everything but with no guarantee because this installation completes with no validation errors. All other features under administration and insfrastructure menu works perfectly.
Re: намертво зависает виртуальная машина
Спасибо за ссылки. уже нашел кое какие команды по HPE ACU.
на данный момент план действий выстроил такой:
1. Обновить FW на адаптер.
2. Накатить апдейт на гипервизор до U3j от 09.2019 уже скачан , ждет своего времени.
в ближайшее время будет остановлен сервер для расширения физической памяти, вот в это время и займемся обновлениями.
Спасибо за поддержку и тему пока не закрываю, отпишусь по результатам работы тут.
Re: All guests on host loose network access after backup fails
I tried unplugging the cable from the 2nd NIC, then doing the backup. The host became inaccessible this time. I was able to get the network back up, for the host as well as the VMs by disconnecting and reconnecting the cable
Re: Clone Multiple VMs into Template
Re: All guests on host loose network access after backup fails
Issue resolved.
I had to update the driver for the Intel 82576 NICs in my server from the igb version 5.0.5.1.1-5vmw driver that came bundled with ESXi to the igb version 5.2.5 driver supplied by Intel.
The updated driver can be downloaded from here : VMware vSphere 5: Private Cloud Computing, Server and Data Center Virtualization
Instructions for installing the driver are in the readme file that comes bundled with the driver.

Re: Licensing 2 sites with the same keys?
Unfortunately this does not apply to the vCenter license. Each vCenter instance has to be covered with its own license.
help with calling ServiceInstance: retrieveInternalContent() using pyvmomi
Hi,
I got the following error when I tried to call retreiveInternalContent().
I used smartConnect to get the serverinstance.
Could someone know the reason? Thank you!

Re: Role of NSX
Hello,
NSX is a software-defined network solution, so all these features and components will be as software on top of ESXi hosts (or KVM host if working with NSX-T).
For example, you will create a logical router as virtual appliance on top of your virtual environment and this appliance will handle let's say the L3 or LB .... etc.
And technically and the end also NSX use VXLAN (NSX-V) or GENEVA (NSX-T) as a transport layer with an encapsulation algorithm to move packets between VMs in separate hosts (East/West).
Re: Getting host mm mode event details
Hi Llian,
Yes it does, but we have lot of hosts and activites going on in different datacenters, we are trying to create a XaaS blueprint to just enter a host name to get the details of the person who kept the host in mm mode. I have the below function to get the details, but it doesn't work as expected.
function getEventLogs(hostIn){
try{
var sdk = hostIn.sdkConnection;
// Create TaskFilterSpecByEntity using moRef of vc:hostsystem
var spec = new VcTaskFilterSpecByEntity();
spec.entity = hostIn.reference;
spec.recursion = VcTaskFilterSpecRecursionOption.self; // Set recursion to self as only interested in this host object
// Create FilterSpec containing vm reference to filter
var filter = new VcTaskFilterSpec();
filter.entity = spec;
// Create collector and set it to the latest entry
var collector = sdk.taskManager.createCollectorForTasks(filter);
collector.resetCollector();
// Browse pages returned by collector in reverse until none are returned
var taskPage;
while ((taskPage = collector.readPreviousTasks(100)) != null)
{
for each (var task in taskPage)
{
// Pull only Enter maint mode messages
if(task.name == "enterMaintenanceMode"){
System.log("Task: " + task.name);
System.log(" startTime: " + task.startTime );
System.log(" User: " + task.reason.userName );
System.log(" dynamicProperty: " + task.dynamicProperty );
task.dynamicProperty == "HostSystem.enterMaintenanceMode"
}
}
}
} catch(ex){
System.log("ERROR : " + ex);

Which VMware product are you using?
Re: ESXI 6.5 WEB CLIENT
Hello,
Yes, Converter doesn't need VC, it can address ESXi hosts directly.
and which file do we use on the converter
This I didn't understand. Could you please clarify? Or browse the user's guide, the procedure is well described there. Perhaps the question will resolve on its own accord.
