My company bought multiple Esxi licenses earlier this year. Do these licenses come with any support plan included? The person who bought them for us is no longer with the company.  License type and information:     vmodl key: esx.essentials.cpuPackageCoreLimited    name: vSphere 7 Essentials    total: 240    used: 2    unit: cpuPackage:32core    Properties:      [ProductName] = VMware ESX Server      [ProductVersion] = 7.0      [feature] = vsmp:0 ("Unlimited virtual SMP")      [feature] = h264remote ("H.264 for Remote Console Connections")      [feature] = esxHost ("vCenter agent for VMware host")      [feature] = vimapi ("vSphere API")      [feature] = contentlib ("Content Library")      [feature] = vstorage ("Storage APIs")      [FileVersion] = 7.0.5.0

Tell me why ESXi 6.7.0 build 20497097 in Monitor - Hardware - Storage does not show the status of the Adaptec 8805 RAID controller? Writes an error: The Small Footprint CIM Broker Daemon (SFCBD) is running, but no data has been reported. You may need to install a CIM provider for your storage adapter.

Hello, Recently our company has been looking into VCD because we've heard NSX networking is not a requirement anymore. I have the following setup: VCenter 8.0.1D 3x VMWare Host 7.0.3 in a ClLuster with DRS Enabled 1 Distributed Virtual Switch 4 port groups in seperated VLANS. 1 Linux Server for NFS Share   I have installed VCD 10.5 and added the VCenter instance to VCD. I am able to see the resource pools, hosts, storage DVS and the port groups. I have created 1 organization and 1 organization VCD attached to it. I also created a Provider VDC. I also created a network pool type of port groups backed with 2 of the 4 portgroups and attached this to my org VCD. I also created 1 external network which i attached to 1 port group   Now this is where I am stuck. I'd like to use the port groups in my VCenter that I've attached to the organization for networking for the VMs. When I create a VM at the tenant I am unable to select any networking / portgroups. So what I did was go to the networking tab at the tenant and add networks. I have the choice between Direct and Isolated networks. When I choose Direct, i can specifically choose the external network, and thus the specific portgroup, from the list. When I added this I can then choose this Extenral Direct network when creating a VM.    Now part 2.  When I selected Isolated i have to give it a name and Gateway CIDR. After creation it gets randomly attached to 1 of the 2 VLANS in the network pool. I want to be able to specify this.   So the TL;DR is: I have several portgroups in my VCenter, how do I attached specific port groups to VMs at a Tenant. Thank you for reading! Kind Regards, Damiën
