vmware-cim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --failurecritera-check-beacon=bool Does anyone know what "bool" value is to be used for this? I have tried: true, enabled, & yes.

[vmroyale]

Give "1" a try.

[vmmeup]

Yeah I tried that right after I posted......didn't work.

"Enable" or "Desable"

For futur information, you can refer to xtravirt guides http://www.xtravirt.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=99&Itemid=124

I tried both enable and enabled.....neither work. below is the command I am using:

vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --failurecriteria-check-beacon=enable vSwitch0

[vmmeup]

the funny thing is if I do a vimsh -n -e "hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --failurecritera-check-beacon=enable vSwitch0" it works, but not with vmware-vim-cmd

I tried both commands and they work on my ESX 3.5 system, do you have 2 NICs teamed on your vSwitch0 that you're trying to enable beacon probing? This does not show up as an error via the commandline with either "vimsh" or "vmware-vim-cmd"

[admin]

vimsh -n -e "hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --failurecritera-check-beacon=enable vSwitch0"

won't work for me any ideas why?

[EAIabach]

This works....

vmware-vim-cmd /hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --failurecriteria-check-beacon 1 vSwitch0

ESX 3.5 U3
