Hello:
I wonder if there is a way to adjust and check HBAs timeout on ESXi host via PowerCLI.
I know the commands I can run from the console, but cannot figure out if there is an option to do it through PowerCLI.
Here are the two commands:
command to check: /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmgmt_keyval/vmkmgmt_keyval -a | grep devloss-tmo
command to set (to 30 seconds at this case): esxcli system module parameters set -p "lpfc_devloss_tmo=30" -m lpfc
Thank you!
Thanks for the response. I checked the logs at the location. There is so much information it's not useful. I don't see any errors pertaining to EAM. Restart the web-client service ones? Not sure what you mean by that. But if you mean restart the Web Client Service, I have already done that. As well as restart the server and etc... If it's a plug in service, how do I get it to reinstall. There is no documentation on that I have found. About how it actually gets to installed and operational. I did go ahead and update the vCenter server from 5.5u3b to 5.5u3e. All components. That didn't have any effect. Sorry but this really isn't helpful.
Hi,
I'm currently using vRealize Automation with vRealize Business Cloud.
Recently my vRB Certificate expired (april but I did not see it), and now I'm unable to get both Working together.
In vRA Business Management Tab, I receive the following error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Untrusted certificate chain.
In vRB, I regenerate a new certificate
When I try to register or unregister vRA after 1 minute I receive the following error:
Failed to register with vRealize Automation
SSO Status Retriable operation failed after the maximum number of attempts - [1]
I already reboot everything, they are all running the latest version vRA 7.3 and vRB 7.2.1
Thanks for your help.

Hi all,
My vsphere 6.5 virtual center appliance current hardware version is showing version 10. Update Manager shows a target version of 13. How do I get there? I'm not finding anything via web search. I've downloaded and installed the latest appliance patch yet there's no change.
thanks,
Chris
I will second the answer above. I export to an OVF and then copy that file to a secondary storage NAS. Why keep it on your primary storage eating space!
I don't know how to retrieve the HBAs timeout. You can use PowerCLI to execute esxcli commands. The following PowerCLI commands will set the HBA time for host 192.168.0.201:
$esxcli = Get-VMHost -Name 192.168.0.201 | Get-EsxCli
$esxcli.system.module.parameters.set($null,$null,'lpfc','lpfc_devloss_tmo=30')
Hello, I have Windows 10 Enterprise on my PC. I recently enabled Credential Guard and Device Guard for fun. I heard they were new features for Windows 10 Enterprise. My problem started when, I wasn't able to open VM's on VMware Workstation Pro. It gave the error:
VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible. VMware Workstation can be run after disabling Device/Credential Guard. Please visit http://www.vmware.com/go/turnoff_CG_DG for more details
I tried the link and disabled "Virtualization Based Security" the same way I enabled it in the first place. Then I disabled Hyper-V in control panel. There's a bunch of CMD lines (from the link) I didn't use because it told me to use an "unused drive" and I don't know what that means...I tried C:. If I can get what drive to use figured out that might fix it, but I'll continue. I had geek squad remotely connect and try disabling it but they couldn't get VMware to run and got the same error.
Now, I decided to perform a clean install of Windows from my bootable Windows 10 Enterprise USB. After installing Windows, I installed VMware Workstation from a back-up on a SD Card. I installed a VM of Windows 8.1 Enterprise and started it up. Then I got the same error that "VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible." I went into gpedit and it says device guard is set to "not configured" like it was before I enabled it for the first time (off.) So how do I disable Device/Credential Guard so I can use VMware? Isn't it weird that it's still on after reinstalling Windows (clean) and shows up as "not-configured" in GPO? If I want to try the CMD lines from the VMware link (see above) what should I enter for the unused drive? I've got a blank SD card.
Please reply with how to disable the Guards so I can get VMware working. And what drive letter I should use in CMD (or an explanation of what that means.) Thank you
Thanks a lot for your reply!
However, when I ran it it gives me error:
The method 'set' is invoked with '4' parameters, but the expected parameter count is '3'.
At line:6 char:1
+ $esxcli.system.module.parameters.set($null,$null,'lpfc','lpfc_devloss_tmo=30')
Should I get rid of one $null and run "$esxcli.system.module.parameters.set($null,'lpfc','lpfc_devloss_tmo=30')" instead?
Thank you!
Hello Colleagues. I found one strange error: Installed vCloud Usage Meter 3.5, VCSA 6.5 + 6.5 ESXi hosts. In hourly reports sent to my email is the wrong time. In Meter, VCSA, HOSTs, configured the correct time zone and correct time. In this case it was 22:05. Any ideas?
I had been looking for this option. However didn't work for me using PowerCLI 6.5.1.
SRM Version is: 6.1.1.
Wondering if I have to upgrade SRM as well?

I believe "unused drive" means any drive (letter) not showing up when you open Windows Explorer to see your (local) computer. C: is definitely used and, if you have a USB inserted, it'd show under a drive (letter) and, if you've mapped a network drive, it'd show under a drive (letter) you had picked for it.
Hi guys,
I posted this on the NSX forum but didn´t get a response, perhaps this forum is more appropriate.
I´ve reading a lot (a lot lot lot), and I have other questions in regards to NSX-vCloud Director way of working but I want to keep this question simple, so here it goes :
- When I want to enable on a vCloud Director tenant the Distributed Firewall functionality I´m presented with this screen :
With a clear way to enabled it.
Now a couple of questions,
1) How do I go about disabling the Distributed Firewall functionality on a vCloud Director tenant ?
I haven´t found any "disable" button anywhere and have googled and read almost everything, the only thing I could figure is to delete the rules that are shown on that screen ?, is this the "correct" way to disable the Distributed Firewall functionality for a vCloud Director tenant ?
2) I guess if that´s the way to disabled it then to re enabled it I should just add new rules on that screen ?
This is how that screen looks for a different customer after I have deleted all of the rules, it´s not 100% clear to me if this means that the Distributed Firewall is disabled or not...
Thanks in advance for your time!
Hi,
I am trying to assist users at my work, whom own a Mac and need to connect to work from home. Usually this is not a problem but with the Mac version of VMWare Horizon Client, it does not have an option to choose Microsoft RDP for protocol, only PCOIP or VMware Blast. We find that some ISPs do not like the PCOIP options or Blast. Other than, trying to download
Microsoft RDP for Mac software, which we did and does not work for us, is there any VMware options?
Thanks for any assistance,
So a metric is the data already available in vRops. SuperMetrics are new metrics which can be created based on metrics with the use of mathmatical functions.
If you need examples look here vRops - Super Metric enhancements - Michael Ryom
We recently upgraded our datacenter host licenses to Ent+ with ops manager. We have a single vsphere standard instance. I have our datacenter set up as a cluster, however recently my co-worker decided to add his offsite cluster (which are just running standard host licenses) and our remote site cluster (which are using branch office standard licenses) to my datacenter vsphere server. So now Ops Manager is reporting all that stuff as well as our data center. I'm thinking this isn't kosher as far as the licensing goes since we only have enough for our datacenter hosts. And even if it is, I'm not to happy with the way that it's showing up in our ops manager. Is there a way I can split that stuff off from our datacenter results using policies or something? Apply one to different vsphere clusters? Assuming (and secretly hoping) that I don't have to make my coworker go get his own vsphere server, to get in compliance.
On the switch it does see the VM's MAC on it's arp table. This is a single physical NIC, Single Vswitch, Single vnic on a single VM. I am tagging the vlan at the OS.
thanks,
The only thing I can think of is that the qlogic drivers are not compatible or some other driver issue. Is there something else I can try?
After searching this forum I found out vCOPs 5.x required you to run the vcops-admin restart command to apply the changes you made to the controller.properties file, however I have not been able to come by any articles that confirm this being necessary in vRops 6.x.
Do I need to restart vROps 6.3 after changing the controller.properties file? I changed the controller.properties file to delete stale records.
Thanks
I ended up finding what I wanted with Get-HVPool as you suggested. Turns out we have hv.helper 1.0 installed not 1.1. Some of the modules are missing so I'll look into updating our version with the new one. The specific info I am looking for can be found with $pool = get-hvpool -Poolname '*pool*' and then parsing through the return object for $Pool.Base.
Thanks for the help.
On my Dell 7010 and running ESXI client to connect to ESXI 5.5 host. I have a guest running and can't connect a USB flash drive when the quest is powered on. I install a USB 3.0 express card by Renesas Electronics USB host adapter and load the windows driver. Windows can see a USB flash drive with no problem just not ESXI quest or any of my other USB ports, from the card or mother board etc. But on a different Dell OptiPlex machine this works ok. Same version windows 7 and same client vSphere client version. Just different Dell machine 780 vs 7010.
any ideas
Roy
