Thank you, but unfortunately, it didn't. That's generic to vSphere. I'm trying to figure out why my vCenter is using so many IOPS.   My vCenter SA is peaking at 70 IOPS like clockwork, about as much as the entire rest of my infrastructure.
Did any of you use vCenter SA 5.5 much? Any low-hanging fruit for high IOPS usage?
I assume that vCenter SA 5.5 is EOL. I'm okay with that. There aren't a lot of legs left in this cluster.   Who uses SUSE? I know that SUSE 11.2 is EOL. I went to install htop to investigate wha... See more...
I assume that vCenter SA 5.5 is EOL. I'm okay with that. There aren't a lot of legs left in this cluster.   Who uses SUSE? I know that SUSE 11.2 is EOL. I went to install htop to investigate what I would call high IOPS levels. zypper reported repo issues. Of course, the standard repos are down. I check YaST and I see five SUSE-related repos are installed. Which repos are the ones I need to point over to a repo archive so that I can continue to limp this cluster for a bit longer? I'm not smart enough in SUSE to match up like for like replacements.   https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors#EOL_mirrors

I have a snapshot that the SAN is saying is corrupted. I'm trying to delete it, but no go. I used "delete all" from within the VI client, to no avail. I tried to then consolidate the snapshot, but it failed because of file corruption. I don't care to save the data, I just want the corrupted file gone.   /vmfs/volumes/dd362778-b976554f/ICS LibreNMS # vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.get 24 Get Snapshot: /vmfs/volumes/dd362778-b976554f/ICS LibreNMS # vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall 24 Remove All Snapshots: /vmfs/volumes/dd362778-b976554f/ICS LibreNMS # ls -ah .

Sorry, I guess it's called teaming and not real LACP. Oh God I hate vendors that cripple their products.
I have all four assigned to the vSwitch.

I wouldn't use IP-Hash as IMO, Beacon Probing is the only real way to detect link failure. Beacon Probing and IP hash aren't compatible with each other. Okay, so if the desired configuration seemingly isn't supposed to happen...  why does it seemingly work on the existing hosts with standard vSwitches?
Like so many other things, I suppose it is so VMWare can make our lives more difficult.

Has anyone had any issues with the integrated NICs on the R900 management card not working properly with LACP in vSphere 5.5u2? I have two 6800s using add-in cards on my Extreme Summit 400 stack that seem to work just fine (other than ping amplification), but whenever I plug in more than one interface on the R900s, I lose connectivity to the R900. All ports in the group work individually, none work together. These are new to me R900s. I made an update CD yesterday with DRM, so the firmware should be current. The switch is configured exactly the same for those ports, verified with a config dump. Going back and forth from the R900s to the 6800s in vCenter the vSwitch appears to be configured the same. I'm not sure what else to try at this point.
Why?
I cannot login to that account with any known passwords.

I didn't make any upgrades or system changes. I'm just using the local root account, no AD or other authentication integration. Last night I tried to login to the web client, but couldn't (bad credentials). Some research pointed to the likelihood of the default password I was using expiring. I rebooted into the bash prompt and changed the root password. I can login to vCenter with the VI Client and my inventory is complete. This works great except for the fact that I can't change any settings relating to a 5.5 VM through the client. I have to use the web interface. I login to the web interface and the inventory is blank. Most of my searching revolves around authentication or permissions issues, but I have a rather simplistic system. As I stated above, the basic root account, no external authentication. That's not likely it, especially since it works in the standard client. I suspect the web interface somehow separated itself from the inventory service, but wouldn't know where to begin how to fix it nor what log files to look into.
So the answer is...  because we said so? I haven't heard that since my parents told me that as a kid. Okay, so don't change the timezone on a host or on the vCenter appliance...  why?

I have utilized Google to try to find my answer, but looking through several pages hasn't really gotten me to where I want to be. Hopefully I can get resolution and Google picks up on it. I am looking to utilize yum for VMware Tools installations and upgrades. It makes much more sense than compiling it via vSphere Client. I've been following the instructions on this page: http://www.vuemuer.it/en/?p=3180. This is a fresh install from the CentOS 6 minimal disc with yum only have installed nano and system-config-network-tui (and their dependencies). My vCenter is 5.0 [root@CentOS6YumRepo ~]# nano /etc/yum.repos.d/vmware.repo [root@CentOS6YumRepo ~]# yum install vmware-tools-esx-nox Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto Loading mirror speeds from

In my searching, I can't seem to manage to figure out how to ensure that VMware Tools is starting on bootup and how to manage the service. Advice?
/boot seems to be the only information that I'm able to see when I hit C at the grub prompt.

I was able to get ESX 3.5 Update 5 to fresh install on my Areca RAID controller with a boot CD from Areca. However, I am unsure if the driver made it to the installed OS.  I get the "Initialization of vmkernel failed, status 0xbad001e" error when trying to boot normally.  Some Googling said to try turning off the CPUIDlimit, but I can't get the service console to work, it just reports Error 15:  File not found. I have attached the error logs.

Well right, it's not a VMWare specific issue, but I figure there's enough of a userbase here that someone may have insight.  I couldn't find any Promise specific user forums. 2 TB seems like an awefully low limitation these days.  It shouldn't be much of a concern, however, as most if not all of my VMs wouldn't exceed a couple hundred GB.
