Is the driver vib in use? if so you can always download a newer driver (assuming it is supported and compatible) install it over the top and it should also install dependencies. Once done reboot and then upgrade, failing that you could always just remove the vib if you are certain its safe and then upgrade? An upgrade from esxi 6 to 6.7 is a huge leap and personally the config on an esxi is so minor its quicker to just reinstall and reconfigure.
thats something totally different to web session timeout. also the information above only applies to the flash client, you will need to edit the html5 file for session timeout
I noticed this too when we first moved to the platform and this is how i configured it. Its still working too! :smileylaugh:

Hi Craig, Welcome to this nightmare!!! I know the feeling, they have a very small engineering team that have higher access than those you speak to when you log a call. The lead time on response and resolution is days/ weeks! If you are unlucky to have a host failure (like we have had) the world gets turned upside down and you are left in limbo as well as the front line just watching the extremely slow automated script fail VMs over without any guarantee that HA will restart VMs. You have no alerting, nothing. The worse thing you can experience is if the vCenter, or vmware cloud appliances develop an issue. NO ONE apart from that small engineering team who are likely to be based on a planet far far away are the only ones able to help. You or the support do not have access. The only thing you can do is either wait for the SDDC or appliances to be updated which triggers a restart (which majority of the time fixes things) or engineering get back to you. There are plenty of new and hidden bugs which only a handful of people know about. This can lead to you having an issue open for weeks, meeting after meeting and the horrible task of being asked to gather information logs etc (while waiting for engineering who have access to help you). Hopefully things will improve...

A bit of an old post HCX deploys several appliances with a private address range list local to the appliance. NSXV is unable to see these IPs and as such is unable to apply firewall rules which you have created using tags or groups. To get around this you have to use IP sets. With the later versions of HCX, i have noticed that after an upgrade the HCX appliances now appear in the global exclusion list of NSX. This is as it is intended and after many NSX V engineer meetings and HCX engineers looking this is just how it is...

Log spam, driver issues such as not being VMware compatible, then you have PSOD. On a plus side at least they do not include OME and ISM with the image which has a load of issues also. You need to check the dell issues log with the image and the dell forums. Every time we update the image and deploy we have to check and test everything.
We use the DELL image with Dell servers but you must be prepared for loads of hidden issues.

No way i am currently aware of but one way would be to either add a custom field or annotation then run a script that checks these on vms for certain date/ range and then suspend, power down etc. This feature i believe is only present in workstation
Pure luck i came across this when i searched but MoboRD​ is correct and modification of the hardware version of the vCenter appliance is unsupported!!!

No it was in the UK, it took over 1hr to get the new host in and VMs migrated. Not all VMs were powered up by HA which has a SR raised as to why. This was not reported as any outage on the support page for UK. My main concern is all the disconnected VMs were ended up being powered off for such a long amount of time before HA kicked in and even then not all of them were automatically powered back up VMware online support were clueless over the outage and i had to send screenshots as proof

Does anyone know how long it takes for a host in a SDDC cluster to recover when one dies? Been waiting over 40 minutes for auto scaler to drop in and do its work, vSAN is all red and not all VMs have Ha restarted. Pretty much stuck now with disconnected VMs which are reporting as offline
Working totally fine here Version 76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit) vCenter 6.7 U2 and vCenter 6.7 U3
You will need to log a ticket with VMware as a feature request for this. As a workaround you can always use a browser plugin to auto refresh the url.
The scratch location on the ESXi is totally unrelated to loginsight. The scratch location is still required by the ESXi host

Has anyone else managed to get the HCX appliances to work with NSX v installed with firewall rules? If i create firewall rules traffic passes through them as per the documentation, i have assigned ST and SGs but the gateway always drops but the tunnels remain up. As soon as i add it to the exclusion list it all magically works? it even drops with any any rules. I am wondering if it has something to do with the way the ST/ SG are working as several vms have the same private ips   |-- icmp(success)   |-- ssl connection(success)   |-- ssl handshake(success)   |-- gateway status(fail): Peer site connectivity is down         |-- Appliance System Status: good         |-- Peer Site Connectivity: down                 |-- WANOPT 192.0.2.2 Status: up                 |-- Tunnel t_1 Status: up       , rx         45555526, tx        172285995                 |-- Tunnel t_0 Status: up       , rx         95071447, tx        209591053                 |-- Tunnel t_2 Status: up       , rx          4385286, tx        101590618                 |-- Tunnel te_0 Status: up      , rx        147018366, tx        485469324
Could you not restrict the access to an account other than cloudadmin?
contribute to compute or storage resource and it needs to be an apple host including license.

Hi there is a difference between not being a problem and supported. You can snapshot NSX appliances but this is not supported because it can take down the virtual network. At the moment we now use the in built backup for the HCX appliance. just waiting for a backup to feature in the VCG as well because that does not support snapshot at all or may result in a broken appliance. From the several calls we have had with VMware the only supported method now is via the appliance and not third party snapshots. Just waiting for more updates and features, the hcx since we have had it deployed has been updated many times.
Its not that you shouldn't see any issues its not supported 'yet'! The HCX is far easier to snapshot than the VCG
Licensing nightmare! We ended up with dedicated MacOS hosts running ESXi just so we could run licensed MacOS VMs on them. No HA, no vMotion just dedicated to avoid the small prints.
