We have a clustered VIDM installation which gave us login problems after a SDDC manager upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.5.1, this does not seem related at all but the timing is when the problems started. After some investigation we noticed we could not login to the second node with root or sshuser and noticed that…
Coming from 8.10.2 our upgrade process got stuck for unknown reasons so we engaged support and they helped us upgrade it starting from the web ui and upgrading the primary went fine but it did not progress through the second and third node. From here we uploaded the PAK file to both nodes into /tmp/…
I made a script that will output the current license keys per cluster and changes them to a new one which the script will ask for. Just make sure you have the license key already added to vCenter. The script will ask you for inputs so it should just work. But better to be safe…
This describes the commands needed to remove a vib from a offline zip bundle that you aqcuired from vmware or maybe you exported it from the single image within vCenter. First you add the software depot with #1 after that you get the name of the profile in that bundle with #2.Then you need to…
I made a simple script for 1 job : changing the portgroup for multiple vm’s in the same portgroup.The script will ask which portgroup you want to move vm’s from using a selection after that using the same method it will ask you for the portgroup to move to. Then it will change all the…
When upgrading Network Insight 6.7 to Patch 4 due to this security risk i ran into failures with insufficient disk space. After a bit of research i thought the minimum disk space of 2TB was not met for the appliance (due to previous upgrades) so i added disks to get to that and all lights…

Make sure you take a snapshot before attempting this process! Login…
I needed to make a automated way to check vm’s for mounted ISO’s, existing snapshots and running vmware tools for a cross vcenter migration. so i started to look for the neccesary one liners that got me the info i needed to make a complete check around all the info and report back in the…
Let me start by saying how great is was to get together again in Barcelona, as it was only my second time there it still felt amazing to be there again. This time around i was part of the Orange Army (ITQ) and that made it only feel better! Some small impressions from my side…
Hereby my take on a scripted version of creating a networkpool in VCF! Please look at the code before using because there are some assumptions in there that may mess up your ip subnets. This is made for a customer based on their needs and design so test before using at your customer! This one will make a VSAN and…
