Hi, Need your help on this. We are starting a project to rebuild all unsupported ESXi 6.0 version to 7.0. We do have at least 200 servers and I need your help to direct me to the most productive way to automate this rebuild process. We need to install ESXi 7.0 using the same network configuration without any interaction and install multiple servers in parallel.   Thanks in advance!   

Hello ; i have exchange 2010 sp3 on DAG  , so to patch from windows updates, my qustion is if i can take snapshot exchange 2010 on dag VMware ESXi, 6.0.0, 3620759 vSphere Web Client Version 6.5.0 Build 4944578 regards

For later use, we needed about 2000 portgroups in our Distributed Virtual Switch. We are pre-provisioning our DVS with these portgroups, so there is no need to create the PG, when it is needed. Our network department just needs to configure the VLAN an the hypervisors trunk ports and our customers can use this PG instantly after this configuration. A PG rename will be automaticly scheduled afterswards. Heres my code sniplet for inital provisioning of 2000 portgroups in the DVS and QoS limitation of 5 gbit/s with 8 gbit/s peak: Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core Add-pssnapin vmware.vimautomation.vds $vcenter = "vcenter01.example.com" Connect-VIServer $vcenter -user user1 -Password password $dvs = Get-VDSwitch -Name "dvs01" -Server $vcenter for ($i=1; $i -le 9; $i++) {     New-VDportgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -Name VLAN_000$i -vlanid $i     $dvPg = Get-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -name VLAN_000$i     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction In | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction Out | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000 } for ($i=10; $i -le 99; $i++) {     New-VDportgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -Name VLAN_00$i -vlanid $i     $dvPg = Get-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -name VLAN_00$i     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction In | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction Out | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000 } for ($i=100; $i -le 999; $i++) {     New-VDportgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -Name VLAN_0$i -vlanid $i     $dvPg = Get-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -name VLAN_0$i     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction In | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction Out | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000 } for ($i=1000; $i -le 1999; $i++) {     New-VDportgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -Name VLAN_$i -vlanid $i     $dvPg = Get-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $dvs -name VLAN_$i     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction In | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000     $dvPG | Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Direction Out | Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy -Enabled $true -AverageBandwidth 5000000000 -PeakBandwidth 8000000000 } Maybe someone is interested in this sniplet

I am trying to run the sample plugin as part of the NAS VAAI NVDK package. While trying to run the following command: (for Lazy Native File Clone) vmkfstools -v 20 –I <file1.vmdk> <clone1.vmdk> where <file1.vmdk> is on an NFS data store it gave the errors: ExampleNasPlugin: session request for 15.213.25.237 /mnt /vmfs/volumes/6e1a78d7-110ad64d NFS 1 ExampleNasPlugin: ExampleNas_ClntCreate: socket info IP 15.213.25.237, family 2, socktype 1, protocol 6, port 2049, ifIndex 0 ExampleNasPlugin: ExampleNas_ClntCreate: socket info IP 15.213.25.237, family 2, socktype 1, protocol 6, port 53358, ifIndex 0 ExampleNasPlugin: could not mount /mnt on host 15.213.25.237; status: (RPC=0 NFS=13). I am using ESXi 6.0 and I believe ESXi 6.0 mounts NFS datastores only with NFS v3. The sample plugin provided in the NVDK, however only operates with NFS v2. The place it is failing is in: ExampleNas_StartSession() … ret = mountproc_mnt_1(&remoteMP, &mfhstatus, mount_clnt);  << this is where it fails Is it a problem with NFS version, or some other permission problem? The NVDK document says that: “The sample NAS plug-in works with both NFSv2 and NFSv3.” but it seems to have been coded only for NFS v2, while ESXi 6.0 doesn’t allow an NFS v2 mount. Is the problem above related to this?
