You can perform a restore operation by using the GUI installer of the vCenter Server Appliance. The process consists of deploying a new vCenter Server Appliance and copying the data from the file-based backup to the new appliance. You can also perform a restore operation by deploying a new vCenter Server Appliance and using the vCenter Server Appliance management interface to copy the data from the file-based backup to the new appliance. See for more information: Restore a vCenter Server Appliance from a File-Based Backup
Uncorrectable memory errors can typically be isolated down to a failed Bank of DIMMs, rather than the DIMM itself. Mostly they can be fixed with a BIOS update.

You mean single reboot upgrade? Where it allows you to do a "quick boot" where it loads vSphere ESXi without restarting the hardware because it only restarts the kernel. This feature is only available with platforms and drivers that are on the Quick Boot whitelist, which is currently quite limited. Check below kb for quick boot compatibility: VMware Knowledge Base

You need to create 2 object list widgets, 1 with datastore object type and 1 with virtual machine object type. On the virtual machine object list it is important to set mode to Parent. After both object list have be done, you need to setup the interaction. Then you are able to select a datastore and it will show up the virtual machines residing on that selected datastore in your dashboard. Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered.

Make sure you have a baseline of about how many GB can be converted per hour. A good way to test this is to convert a good candidate system of about 100 GB and use that as a multiplier for your environment. There are a lot of factors you need to consider, such as network speed and traffic, esxi host performance, storage performance (on both ends), and total size of the data on disk. This allows for a good estimate on any downtime that needs to be coordinated if this applies to the selected workload. There is an incremental synchronization which will be useful in your case - the down time is minimized because initial sync will transfer 'base' data and incremental sync(s) will transfer only differences.

You can use tools like VMware Converter or exporting the VM to a "middle man" system and then re-importing that VM into the destination host but it could take a while or you have to run a Windows system. Well, if you are looking for a quick and easy way to copy a VM from one host to another, try using the ovftool. How to copy VMs directly between ESXi Hosts using ovftool - VMware Blogs - VMware Blogs

daphnissov sxnxr There is a metric available called Guest File System Free (GB). This metric is disabled by default. I've enabled this in the policy. This metric will then be available under the disk drives (drive letters) for virtual machines. Depending on the drives that you have within virtual machines in your environment it will display the available drives. In my case i have only a C:\ and E:\ and therefore it will only display those. Based on this metric I've created the symptoms/alert for disk space left based on GB. For example: if E:\ is less than 2GB remaining i want to be triggered with an alert. There is no need to create Super Metrics. I tested this with version 6.6.1. Again, thanks for helping me in the right direction. Rick

The Hardening and Site Specific columns are there to help show you which settings are actual hardening settings and which are clearly settings that VMware can’t necessarily provide default values for. “Site Specific” setting meaning it’s something VMware can’t set for you. An example would be the IP Address for your NTP server. “Audit Setting” column. This should guide you towards which settings are those that require you to check that the default value may have changed. vSphere 6.5 Security Configuration Guide now available - VMware vSphere Blog Rick
