Hi, For that issue, we raised a case with VMware support and they recommended us to disable one of the CIM providers, named "vmw_pci".  1. Logon to the ESXi Host . 2. List the current CIM providers by running the following command and you will find "vmw_pci" on the output list.:   esxcli system wbem provider list You may see "vmw_pci"  as Enabled = true ;  Loaded = true 2. To disable "vmw_pci", run the following command : esxcli system wbem provider set --enable false --name="vmw_pci" 3. Run the following command again to confirm the status of "vmw_pci" provider: esxcli system wbem provider list You may see "vmw_pci"  as Enabled=false ; Loaded=false. In our case this resolved the issue and no other imapct due to disabling "vmw_pci", was noticed. You may want to check with VMware Support, before doing this. Good Luck !

Dear All, We have two Datacenters  and the vCenters in both sites are in enhanced linked mode. Would like to know the best way to implement Log Insight cluster. I believe a 3 node cluster ( 1 Primary node and 2 Worker nodes ) is the minimum supported / recommended configuration. My Questions are : 1. Should we setup the 3-node cluster in each site Or just one cluster in any of the sites will do, as a single cluster can collect logs from both sites, as the vCenters are in linked mode ? 2. If one cluster is sufficient, how can we handle a disaster recovery situation, if the site goes down.. Appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.  
Hello All, I would like to know if there is any way to find out the ESXi Host Network Adapter's SFP/Transceiver details ( Model, Serial # etc) from ESXCLI ?. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, Wonder if you anyone has seen these warning messages in ESXi 7.0.U3d : "An application (/bin/sfcbd) running on ESXi host has crashed (xxx time(s) so far). A core file may have been created at /var/core/sfcb-vmware_bas-zdump.000." I believe this issue was supposed to have been fixed on earlier versions of ESXi, but it doesn't seem so. We have noticed these warning messages on Dell MX740c/750c Blades. Any input is welcome.. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the clarification. We do keep the same LUN IDs on all hosts in a cluster. Regards
Hi, Thanks for the explanation. So, am I correct in saying that, if we present a Data LUN with ID "0", the "Management LUN 0" will disappear ?. The reason I am saying this - on another host we have ... See more...
Hi, Thanks for the explanation. So, am I correct in saying that, if we present a Data LUN with ID "0", the "Management LUN 0" will disappear ?. The reason I am saying this - on another host we have a Data LUN with ID as 0 and there is no "Management LUN 0" ( with WWN of the SP as naa.ID ). Regards.

Hi all, I wonder if someone can explain this : On our ESXi Host we noticed a Storage device, whose NAA Id is same as the WWN of the Storage Processor ( of DellEMC Unity Storage System) to which the ESXi host is connected. In vCenter, this Storage device appears as "Not Consumed" and 0 Byte in Size.  I would like to know under what conditions the WWN of the Storage Processor is displayed as NAA Id of the Storage device.  [ DGC Fibre Channel Disk (naa.50060160xxxxxx...) ], where 5006016xxxxx is the WWN of the SP of the  Storage System. Other Datastores have normal NAA IDs  like "naa.6006016xxxxxx .." .   Thanks in advance.
Thank you Feroz Rah.

Dear All, Can someone please confirm if the following are the right steps to upgrade the vCenters which are in enhanced linked mode ? 1. Shutdown vcsa #1 2. Shutdown vcsa#2 3. Create snapshot of vcsa#1 4. Create snapshot of vcsa#2 5. Bring vcsa#1 online. 6. Bring vcsa#2 online. 7. Upgrade vcsa#1. Wait until the upgrade finishes successfully. 8. Upgrade vcsa#2.  9. Ensure that the upgrades are successful and no issues. 10. Delete snapshot of vcsa#1  11. Delete snapshot of vcsa#2. Are there any other additional pre-cautions / Steps required ? Planning to upgrade from VCSA 7.0.2 to 7.0.3. Thanks in advance.

Hi Team,  I need to remove a SAN LUN from a physical host ( Windows 2008 R2) attached to NetApp SANtricity SAN and assign that LUN to a VM ( running on ESX 6.5 host ) as RDM. Has any one done it and if there are any issues in recognizing the RDM LUN by the VM host ? Thanks in advance..

Hi Community, I would like to know if any one has done recovery of multiple VMs at remote site, using vSphere Replication, and what are the steps you followed. Assume,  Site A is replicating about 50VMs to Site B, and all of those VMs need to be recovered in Site B, (as a part of migration project ), within the shortest time  possible. Thanks.
