Hi there,
I'm installing ESX 3.5 update 5 via script (unattended installation via http).
During the installation the failback policy should be set from default "yes" to "no".
I'm trying to do this with command: vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-rollingorder=false vSwitch0
After the installation the policy was not changed and is still set to "yes".
So I executed the command in the service console and the after few seconds the prompt is back. In the Infrastructure client "Recently Tasks" shows that the switch settings has been refreshed, but the policy was not changed and is still set to "yes".
What is wrong with command?
Thanks for help.

Hi Tino
If you want Failback: No, then you need to use:
vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-rollingorder=true vSwitch0
Hi Tino
Have you tried adding the path to the vmware-vim-cmd binary? e.g.:
/usr/bin/vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-rollingorder=false vSwitch0
Yes, I have tried the absolute path of the command, but nothing has been changed.
Can you attach your script?

Hi Nirvy,
thank you for your help! It's working now!
That's strange, that this parameter must be set to "true".
