Hi I wonder if somebody can help. With the code below I am able to change the lockdown mode on the esxi host but I am not able to get the script to list the local users on the Esxi host and get those added to the exception list Just wondering if a foreach is needed to get this done (second line from bottom) Thanks in advance       Connect-VIServer -Server vcenter_username -User  -password    $hosts = Get-VMHost   Foreach ($vmhost in $hosts) {     $status = (Get-VMHost -name $vmhost).ExtensionData.Config.LockdownMode # checks lockdown mode     Write-Host "$status is set on $vmhost"     if ($status -eq "lockdownDisabled") {         (Get-VMHost $vmhost | Get-View).EnterLockdownMode() # sets lockdown mode to enabled.         Write-Host "Lockdown is now set to enabled on $vmhost"     }     else{         Write-Host "Lockdown is already set to enabled on $vmhost" }     $HostAccess = Get-View -Id $vmhost.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.HostAccessManager $currentUsers = $HostAccess.QueryLockdownExceptions() $newUsers = $currentUsers + $username foreach ($user in $newusers) {    $HostAccess.UpdateLockdownExceptions($newuser)} }

I Upgraded my Log Insight today to 8.10 to make use of the new feature of scheduled reports. Just wondering if anybody has managed to get this to work. My reports do not work and I have chosen a busy dashboard with enough time for data I have also did a test report and the email came through but it does not do anything with the scheduled reports and does not generate any emails
It is there now in 8.10 but it does not work

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you the problem was down to a certificate issue in the vcenter appliance I logged a call with GSS and they ran a python script which fixed the issue after which the qui options re-appeared Thanks again for all your advice
Thanks Bobkin I checked that and the vcenter is running the same version

Hi I have two Vsan hosts configured with two vsan enabled VMkernel ports and the two hosts are on the HCL. Assuming the correct licensing is correctly applied when I go to try and configure vSAN on the cluster it shows a blink space under services such as below. Just wondering why the vsan service is not visible when I start the configuration wizard   Thanks in advance
works out that the sddc manager had the incorrect password for the vcenter. I had to change the vcenter password to match what it was in sddc
Thanks for that. ssh is enabled on the host but I will retry the task again to see if it works

I am trying to add a host to a vsan cluster running vcf 3.9.1 It goes through ok and manages to deploy the networking and the vsan disk groups but fails with the error below It looks like something is trying to make an ssh connection to the vcenter server. The host has been added successfully to the cluster and is in maintenance mode Just wondering if anyone has seen this error

I have a colleague who would like to use vsphere replication 8.5 in a simple DR scenario. The VM he would like to replicate runs with an Nvidia GPU in passthrough mode. Assuming the target Hypervisor has the same configuration is it possible to use Vsphere Replication with a VM that works with a GPU   Thanks in advance

Hi I have been asked to post this question. Somebody at my firm read an article that VMware will soon deprecate bios boot at the hypervisor level and got a bit confused thinking this may apply at the VM level. Does anyone know when future versions of VM hardware are released that VMware may plan to remove the option for Bios boots Thanks in advance

We are running a stretched cluster 6.7 u3 with 10 hosts but every now and then we get impacted by storage latency issues. All devices cache and storage are ok and are not reporting any issues However we get with storage latency issues with the VMs and when looking at the vsan storage metrics at the host level we get very high delayed IO Average Latency Assuming the network is ok does anyone know what could cause this measurement to go so high I have also checked cache evictions and this checks out ok as well Thanks in advance

Recently a health alarm appeared saying that vsan.clombgprorebalanceenabled was not set Does anyone know what this advanced setting is there is nothing on the web about it. I assume it is something to do with the automatic rebalancing feature in 6.7 u3 Thanks in advance
Thanks I will take a look
