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)} }

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

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

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
