Great content, thank you! I would suggest applying a high pass filter to your mic in post, perhaps around 80-100 Hz. I'm listening on in-ear headphones and there is a fairly loud bump occasionally. It probably doesn't come through if editing on a laptop.

Every vSphere host in any shop / Lab / Enterprise I work I enable "ShareForceSalting = 0" and "Mem.ShareScanTime = 20" This setting pretty much dedeuplicates used memory blocks and give you the ability to run more VMs without swapping. And checks memory blocks every 20 min. These can be set in the advanced system settings.

What about backing up vCenter and the ESXi host configs?
@VirtualizationHowto Жыл бұрын
L-Minus, thanks for the comment! You can backup the ESXi configuration using PowerCLI (VMware's module for PowerShell) using the following: Get-VMHostFirmware -VMHost $host -BackupConfiguration -DestinationPath C:\HostBackups For vCenter Server, you can setup automated backups for your config there, by navigating to the VAMI interface (port 5480) and then navigating to the Backups menu. It will allow you to target FTP, SFTP, and other options for automatically backing up your VCSA appliance on a regular basis.

I haven't been in a VM environment since V5, but back then during the install routine we would make changes to the partitions sizes- do people still do this?
@VirtualizationHowto Жыл бұрын
CPU UK, I have to say not much. I usually just create a reasonable sized partition for ESXi (needs to be disks now instead of removable media as of vSphere 7 due to logging changes) but other than that, don't worry too much about disk sizes per se...hope this helps!

If that syslog setting is going to work, you need open syslog ports on the firewall.
@VirtualizationHowto Жыл бұрын
Tim, great shout on that front. You are right that is required. I missed that in the vid.
@markfrederick4792 Жыл бұрын
Some of the latest syslog services (ie. Splunk) benefit from receiving traffic on a specific/non-standard port (ie. not the default port 514). Is there a way from cli or gui to designate a custom port with the IP address, and match that in the firewall settings ?

can you please add the text command for patching hosts Thanks
@VirtualizationHowto Жыл бұрын
Daniel, you can use the following: ## Open ESXi host firewall to allow the host to connect to the Internet esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient ## Get your current profile esxcli software sources profile list -d ##Enter maintenance mode on the host - vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter ##Run the command to update your host: esxcli software profile update -d hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-8.0.0-20513097-standard A site I have had bookmarked for years now is the following: Virten.net...he keeps the latest profiles listed so it makes running the command above easy as you just replace the profile name after the -p with the profile listed here: www.virten.net/vmware/vmware-esxi-image-profiles/

If there are a lot of ESXi host, maybe there is something like automation script to manage all of systems at once. Or vCenter Server?
@VirtualizationHowto Жыл бұрын
Justin, thanks for your comment! Yes, many of these types of processes and procedures can be accomplished with tools like PowerCLI or Ansible. Also, there is a mechanism in vSphere called a "Host profile" that allows applying almost "template like" settings to ESXi hosts.

I have an Intel RAID for my PCIe optane drives (RAID10) But my ESXI 8 cannot see it. I've been scouring the internet to see how I can get them to see it, looked on VMWare's Compatible RAID controllers, and it mentioned that Intel VMD is the only solution for NVMe RAID. The BIOS sees the RAID 10, but not ESXi 8. Are there tutorials for this? Direct me in the right direction?

esxi time NTP settings do not always work well... Depends on the OS running and clients, there can be time delays (up 5 seconds differences) between domain and clients, and in some cases client not getting updated at all.. Perhaps that is why this option should be kept enabled????

lost in the details , and yet , nobody explains what is going on at a fundamental level. I do understand that most of the details occur on vmware servers , and that what you have esxi installed on is almost irrelevant.
