vifpinit

[RanjnaAggarwal]

My question is:-

if a server is initialize on vMA by using vifpinit command how to uninitialize this? what is command to uninitialize this?

[kjb007]

You should be using vifptarget with the newer vMA, and you can use 'vifptarget --clear' to go back to normal prompt.

but vifptarget command is not available in vMA because i already tried it. Any Suggestions?

[kjb007]

vifptarget replaced vifpinit as of vMA 4.1, if you're using ESXi 5, I would upgrade my vMA.

As far as I know, you couldn't exit out of the vifpinit session, you would just replace that host session with another host session.  You could exit out.

That's correct, you could not exit out of an initialized session and this was fixed in vMA 5.0, I would recommend going to latest version which is also backwards compatible with vSphere 4.x

Ok....yeah i am using vma 4.0.....do you know official vmware t-shoot course is on 4.0 or 4.1?

[kjb007]

That will probably depend on where exactly you are taking your class, but I venture that the version 4 class should be updated to include 4.1 content, but don't quote me on that.

Hi,

VMware troubleshooting course based on Vsphere 4.0, not 4.1..

Really it made lot of confusions..

[RanjnaAggarwal]

But VCAP exam is on 4.0 or 4.1 ???????

[kjb007]

VCAP 4 covers the blueprint (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12751).

Version is not all that important to complete those tasks between 4 and 4.1 anyway.
