Hi LucD, Can we export/import role and permission from one vCenter to another? if both are connected to same identity source (AD).

Hi Scott, Thank you for the quick response. Does it mean, we need 2 separate vCenter Server Standard edition license if we want to isolate the existing esxi hosts in 50-50 ratio? (Currently we have 100 hosts running on enterprise plus license).  Do we also require separate license for VCHA?

Hi Team, We have deployed single vCenter Server 7  (Standard license) and added around 100 ESXi hosts from multiple locations in separate clusters. All these hosts are provisioned with vSphere Enterprise Plus license. We want to isolate some esxi hosts into separate vCenter Server instance with linked mode enabled. Can someone please confirm if we can deploy multiple vCenter server instance via single vCenter Server license? We will connect the same number of hosts across the multiple instance of vCenter servers (100 Esxi hosts).

I was unable to extract all the event logs from log insight 4.6.2 due to limitation of log Export to 20,000 results. I wrongly applied the solution mentioned in KB article "VMware Knowledge Base ". After that I am unable to extract any logs in CSV and Raw format and receiving the error message "CSV format export for event trends not yet supported. Please use JSON export instead." Earlier I was able to extract the logs in JSON, CSV and Raw format upto 20000 results. Can someone please help me to revert the changes to previous state?

Hi Himanshu, As per my opinion, You have to do some math before placing your OS and DATA VMDK on different Datastores. 1 . You have to check how many IOPS you are receiving from the LUN of RAID 5 and RAID 10. 2. Then you have to check the IOPS requirement of each of the VMDK. To identify the available IOPS of RAID 5 or RAID 10 LUNs. You have to check the disk type of the RAID group and the number of disk involve in the RAID group. Every disk has it's own IOPS capacity. You can refer the below diagram to identify the disk wise IOPS. You can fetch the total available IOPS through below formula. Total RAW IOPS = Disk IOPS * Number of Disks Lets assume, you have 10 disks of 15 K in your RAID 5. So in this scenario you will get total IOPS = 1750 Total IOPS = 175 * 10 I assume, all the disks are 1 TB of space. So you will get approx. 8.38 TB of usable space with 1750 IOPS. Now lets move to datastore level. Suppose you have provisioned 2TB of space to one your LUN and provisioned it in your ESXi as your one DATASTORE. Now in this case you will get approx 417 IOPS over this datastore. After doing all above math, now you have to move on each VMDK level. Lets place all the VMDK on different datastores and run ESXTOP in batch mode. You will get some log as a result of ESXTOP after couple of hours. Please analyse it into windows perfmon and fetch the details of IOPS of each disk. You will get the data look like attached image. Now you have all the details and can place the VMDK according to the statistical data and ensure to get the better performance.
