Hi zusammen, wie verhält sich eine Win11 VM mit vTPM, wenn der ESXi zur Installation der VM Teil eines vCenter Clusters war und dann als Standalone Host, ohne vC Integration, in einem anderen Netz weiterläuft? Die VM startet. Aber wo ist jetzt der Haken, bzw. was sind jetzt die Risiken oder Folgen für den Betrieb der Win11 VM? Zum Hintergrund: Manche Kunden betrieben einen einzelnen ESXi (lizenziert) ohne vCenter (sämtliche Kommentare dazu jetzt bitte verkneifen  ) Für die Installation einer Win11 VM wird so ein Host per VPN temporär an den Systemhaus vC angebunden und erhält darüber seinen vTPM Key. Das sind aktuell nur Tests, noch nichts Produktives. Die Frage bleibt, ob so ein Kunde um einen eigenen vC zukünftig nicht drum herum kommt, oder ob o.g. Lösung ohne gravierende Fallstricke angewendet werden könnte. Besten Dank! VG C
@aplopes You should create a post in the area I linked to in my previous reply.  
@JaimeLE Could you help me, please?
How did you solve this case?

@JaimeLE You need to re-post this as a "discussion" in this area: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vCenter-Server-Discussions/bd-p/2511 Sounds like an old version of vCenter Server if it's deployed on Windows, when you do create a new post you might want to add more information about the vCenter Server version plus the Windows version.

VMware VirtualCenter Server stop and don't start. when I start, I get this error "The VMware virtualCenter Server service on Local Computer started an then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".

OK, so since no one had any idea on this I figured I would update the thread with my solution. My workaround to enable this type of capability was to leverage the vco-cli JAR, and execute the necessary command during the 'generate-resources' phase of the build. You can pull down the vco-cli JAR from a few places, but I pulled it down from the LCM appliance, at this path: /opt/vmware/vlcm/blackstone/vco-cli/<version>/vco-cli-java-<version>.jar Once I had that in my package project, I figured out the commands to use it which was pretty easy. So, I added this to my plugin-package/pom.xml file: <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <executions> <execution> <!-- Run vCO-CLI to pull the package contents prior to repackaging --> <id>Sync Content from Orchestrator</id> <phase>generate-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>exec</goal> </goals> <configuration> <executable>java</executable> <arguments> <argument>-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true</argument> <argument>-DincludeConfigurationSecureStringValues=true</argument> <argument>-DignoreServerCertificate=true</argument> <argument>-DexportVersionHistory=false</argument> <argument>-DexactPackageNameMatch=true</argument> <argument>-Dusername=${orchestratorUser}</argument> <argument>-Dpassword=${orchestratorPass}</argument> <argument>-DserverHost=${orchestratorHost}</argument> <argument>-DserverPort=443</argument> <argument>-jar</argument> <argument>vco-cli-java-8.10.0.jar</argument> <argument>de</argument> <argument>${remotePackageName}</argument> <argument>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources</argument> </arguments> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> I tried a couple of other ways to do this, such as using LCM to push the content to Git and then I would pull that repo, but it looks like LCM rewrites the contents of the Workflows and such to where they are not usable with the Maven packaging plugin. This solution is at least automated with a few properties in my settings.xml in the M2 repository. I hope this helps someone down the line.

I am building a plugin and created some stock workflows I want to distribute with it. The package content in question is purely Workflows at this time. I am running this command from my machine to do the package import with Maven: mvn o11n-package:import-package -DserverUrl=vro01.domain.local -Dusername=administrator@vsphere.local -Dpassword=******** -DpackageName=mypluginpackage But, when I attempt to run the import-package goal, I get this error: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.vmware.o11n.mojo.pkg:o11n-package-maven-plugin:8.4.2:import-package (default-cli) on project o11nplugin-myplugin-package: Unable to import package [mypluginpackage], from server '[vro01.domain.local]': Error while extracting response for type [class com.vmware.o11n.sdk.rest.client.stubs.InventoryItemsList] and content type [application/xml;charset=UTF-8]; nested exception is org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not unmarshal to [class com.vmware.o11n.sdk.rest.client.stubs.InventoryItemsList]: unexpected element (uri:"http://www.vmware.com/vco", local:"inventory-items").

Hello, I would like to ask a question, I have vCenter version 6.0, and recently I am receiving an alert on one of the hosts, saying ESXi Host Certificate Status, looking at the host I can see that the certificate has expired but I cannot renew it, because who manages it is vCenter, executing the image command in vCenter, I get that the certificates are valid until 2026, I don't have web access due to the version, how can I proceed?

... vCenter Server Standard supports up to 2,500 hosts in the current version. see https://configmax.esp.vmware.com/guest?vmwareproduct=vSphere&release=vSphere%208.0&categories=3-0 ANdré
A "vSphere Standard" license refers to the ESXi hosts' CPU socket licensing, and is purchased per socket (a physical CPU with up to 32 cores). vCenter Server needs to be purchased separately. André
