show configuration output copy & paste

LuckyT — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 22:33:46 GMT

Hi All,

Is there a way to copy the output of "show configuration" command from one edge and paste the same to another Edge, instead of creating interface/firewall/nat configs in new Edge? I would like to deploy new Edge alone and then just want to paste the configuration details (i.e. output of "show configuration") from old edge.

Thanks in advance

HostSystem CPU and Memory returns 0

LuckyT — Fri, 09 Oct 2015 06:56:01 GMT

Hi All,

I wrote below script to get Current CPU & Memory Usage on HostSystem in VCO 5.5, but below code always returns 0. Can someone help to resolve ? Is there any other way to get the Current Usage/Utilization ?

var myClusterOverallCpuUsage=0;

var myClusterOverallMemoryUsage=0;

var myVcHostSystem = VcPlugin.allHostSystems

myClusterOverallCpuUsage = myVcHostSystem[0].summary.quickStats.overallCpuUsage;

myClusterOverallMemoryUsage = myVcHostSystem[0].summary.quickStats.overallMemoryUsage;

System.log( "name:" +myVcHostSystem[0].name);

System.log( "CPU usage"+myClusterOverallCpuUsage);

Thanks

But when i do ifconfig after VM creation, i see that "Network adapter 1" is assigned as eth1 and "Network adapter 2" is assigned as eth0. Coz of which i'm not getting reachability to outside world.

I'm creating VM from XML.

Kindly help.

How to upgrade vco 5.1 to 5.1.2

LuckyT — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 06:08:29 GMT

Hi All,

I want to upgrade VCO from 5.1.0 build 2725 to 5.1.2, vco is installed in the same machine as vcenter. The reason is, i'm not getting inventory info from Host object with below code

myClusterOverallCpuUsage += myVcHostSystem.summary.quickStats.overallCpuUsage;

myClusterOverallMemoryUsage += myVcHostSystem.summary.quickStats.overallMemoryUsage;

The above code always returns zero (0).

So i thought to upgrade to 5.1.2, but the challenge is, i didn't found any downloadable patch for this and there is no https://<appliance-ip>:5480 to upgrade too.. Does anyone faced this issue & have the solution? How do i upgrade to 5.1.2?
