      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am running ESXi version 6. I have run the tlsreconfigurator and turned off TLS 1.0 and 1.1. I also turned off TLS 1.0 and 1.1 on port 5989. The hosts are still being flagged for this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Negotiated with the following insecure cipher suites: &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS 1.2 ciphers: &lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;on ports 443 and 5989&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How do I turn these off? This and the self signed certs are all I have left to fix.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for any help anyone can provide.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes the ip address is correct. The DNS entries are correct and resolve properly other than on the vrops appliance. They were created by the network team prior to the deployment of the appliance. From what I see everything is set up properly, but the appliance is not functioning for some reason. I have deployed other appliances before and never had these issues. It's strange.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This doesn't seem like this should be this difficult, but I am having an issue with deploying the vRealize Operations Linux appliance. I downloaded it twice to make sure the ova file is good, and I deploy it and fill in the configuration, and deploy it. No problem. However, when I power it on it comes up showing the ip address I gave it, but the url is &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://localhost.localdom" rel="nofollow"&gt;https://localhost.localdom&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;, and will not ping or connect. I checked the DNS and forward and reverse lookup are working fine. I see nothing that should be causing this. The other thing I see is the status in the vCenter client is shown as "Available". Does anyone have any ideas?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;To clarify what I see, when I use the FQDN, which I have verified as the one I used in the PSC install here's what I get:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="With FQDN.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65399i3AE5702D8992C895/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="With FQDN.png" alt="With FQDN.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I use just the short name for the PSC server here's what I get:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Short Name.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/65400i5A20D836C658A30A/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Short Name.png" alt="Short Name.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Which does make sense because I used the FQDN during the install now I'm using the short name. I did do a complete reinstall this morning just to make double sure and still doesn't work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you for your response. I have screenshots from when I did the installation and I did use the FQDN when I did the PSC install. If I can't figure it out this morning I'm just going to uninstall the PSC and do the install again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your willingness to help&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am building a test environment for a new vSphere 6.0 install to replace the 5.5 infrastructure in use now. I installed the PSC on a VM and it seems to be working fine, but when I try to install vCenter on a different VM it complains that it can't reach the PSC. I can ping the FQDN of both machines from the other, firewall is turned off, tried all the usual things.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The odd thing is, if I just use the server name for the PSC rather than the fully qualified name, it connects, but it complains that the cert on the PSC doesn't match what I entered, which is true, I used the FQDN on the PSC. It will also connect using the ip address, but again the cert doesn't match.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone have any idea why it would act this way? It does not appear to be a DNS issue, pings work correctly with FQDN, nslookup resolves the FQDN correctly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I appreciate any advice&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I set up a distributed switch and I want to grant the networking team read-only access to monitor the switch for troubleshooting purposes. This would most likely just be read-only access to the Ports tab on the vSwitches. It appears this can't be done, but I wanted to ask before I give them full access and have to hope nobody changes anything. Are there any alternatives to monitor the VDS? I'm not using the Nexus 1000V, but the built in VDS.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Change a complete install to a typical install</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Change-a-complete-install-to-a-typical-install/m-p/929722#M79382</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi all&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm running esxi 5.5. I have templates set up for various OS's and those have vmware tools on them as a typical install. One of my colleagues decided to do complete installs of vmware tools, which installs the vsepflt filter which then hangs and blue screens the guest machine. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=2077302" title="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=2077302"&gt;http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=2077302&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We went in and disabled it on all the affected vms, and everything is functioning now, but I have vmware tools set up to auto-update on reboot in an attempt to keep them semi up to date anyway. When this update happens it detects the complete install, re-installs the vsepflt filter and enables it again. Server then proceeds to bluescreen and hang. The KB article claims this was fixed in 5.5 U2, but that's just not true.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, my questions is, can I fool the installer into thinking a typical install was done rather than a complete install by maybe a registry key change or something like that, rather than having to reinstall vmware tools using the typical install? It's about 80 machines, and rebooting them is a pain.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for any suggestions&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have already disabled DRS on the VMs in question and they are still experiencing these problems. It's quite obvious to me that vmotion has absolutely nothing to do with it, but the application people are sticking with this fantasy because they have no other ideas. I was just wondering if anyone else had any problems with vmotion interfering with a VM's performance, so I can say that I checked and nobody has ever seen this issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem occurs randomly, and isn't reproducible that I'm aware of. The Linux guys look at the server and they see no issues with the OS either.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Lately some people here have been complaining about slowness in an application running in ESXi 5.5. The app runs fine for a while then slows down to a crawl for a while, then suddenly works ok again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Vendor is pointing fingers and saying it's not them, so people here are suddenly latching onto vmotions as causing the slowness, even though the timing of all vmotions don't coincide with the slowness issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The vmotions are handled on their own switch, on their own nic port. Performance stats for the VMs in question show nothing unusual, host stats same.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does anyone know about a document about vmotion that I can use to stop these attempts to blame vmotion just because they can't find anything else? Has anyone experienced slowness or vms going off the network due to vmotioning?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I should have provided more information. It's an IBM XIV behind an SVC. The HBA card is a QLogic QLE2462, same as all the hosts here. The servers at the hot site as far as I know are not limited to one LUN. The hot site servers should be set up identically to the hosts used for production. Obviously something is missing. I used the same DVD to install to them all, so it should be the same. I'm having the SAN guy copy another LUN to try that and see how that one works.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One thing I did notice, when I add storage it does not trigger a VMFS scan on the other hosts. Rescanning manually still does not show the LUN on any other host except for the first one I add it to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'll take a look at the yellow bricks page and see if that helps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks a lot for your help.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Storage only available on one host in a cluster</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm having an odd problem with storage not showing up on more than one host. Here's the details:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I recently upgraded vCenter Server to 5.5. Hosts are still running 5.0. I have a production datacenter that is working fine, and I have a hot site datacenter. The hot site datacenter is having this problem. I got an existing LUN copied to the hot site SAN and presented to all the hosts at the hot site. I rescan for new storage and all hosts see the new LUN and it all looks good there.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I go to Add Storage, this is where I'm seeing this problem. I go to the first host, Add Storage, add the LUN, it sees it, reads the VMFS data correctly, and adds it and it shows up in the storage list. So far so good. It rescans for VMFS on the other hosts, but they don't show the new storage. I manually rescan and they still don't show the storage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If I unmount the LUN from the first host, go to another host, add the LUN, it reads it fine, shows it in storage, and works OK, but then none of the other hosts see it, even the one that just had it on it and saw it OK.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The production datacenter and hosts are working fine, adding LUNs functions normally, it's just this hot site datacenter that I'm seeing this on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does anyone have any ideas what's going on?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the advice&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not the answer I was hoping for, but it is the answer. I'll de-emphasise the web client until they fix this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am testing in preparation to upgrade vSphere from 5.0 to 5.5. One thing I have noticed is the web client seems to have a problem with IE 11. I get this message in a bar at the top of the browser:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This browser is not supported. Some features might not work correctly. A minimum of IE7, Firefox 9 or Chrome 14 are required on Windows. A minimum of Firefox 9 or Chrome 14 are required on Linux. A minimum of&amp;nbsp; Firefox 9, Chrome 14 or Safari 5.1.3 are required on Mac OS X. Read the vSphere Web Client help for details.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a fix for this? It seems safe to ignore this message, everything seems to work ok, but I don't really want to field all the questions about this message when 5.5 is deployed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Autodeploy install error</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vCenter-Discussions/Autodeploy-install-error/m-p/364019#M93</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to install the Autodeploy plugin on a vCenter server (5.0). It was previously installed, and we had some database server issues that forced me to move the vCenter database to another server. When we moved the db back several plugins were disabled and could not be re-enabled. I reinstalled the Network Coredump and Syslog collector plugins successfully and that cleaned up the problems I was seeing, but when I try to re-install Autodeploy I get this message:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The service is already registered with specified vCenter server&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I don't see where I can unregister Autodeploy so I can re-install it. Can someone point me to a link or some documentation about this? My web searches turned up mostly pages on how to install it the first time and use it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It appears going on the machine itself, resetting the management agents, and waiting an hour will then finally let them disconnect so I can reconnect. Thanks whoever thought about helping!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Matt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
