You can either power it off and take a backup using VADP methods, or perform an in-guest backup via a variety of agents.

Re: VMTools
Probably using PowerCLI. First two things should be straightforward. The last (VMtools modification) you might have to do via in-guest script execution for things like, for example, program installation time.

SNMP community string for esxi 5.5
I have already setup community string on my esxi server. However, when i typed "esxcli system snmp get" to view/check configuration i just made, what appears in Community is different from what i setup. I used 5 characters for my community string but when i view config using command above, only 1 character appears which is "B".
Whan can i do is that normal?
Also, is snmp trap optional only? as far as i understand snmp trap purpose is to sent notif or alarm to monitoring system though i dont need to setup alarm.
Thanks.

Re: Newly deployed PSC appliance setup is stuck at 40%
Do you have functional forward and reverse DNS? Are you certain that NTP is in use and time is synchronized between the PSC appliance being deployed, the workstation from which you're running the wizard, and the target ESXi host onto which it is being deployed? If yes, please show screenshots which display all the input values you are using.

Re: Can only get storage from one Smart Array P400 RAID controller in HP ML370 G5
Compare the firmware on both cards. Are they identical? It's possible the driver which is responsible for the addressing of that card has a firmware dependency which is met by one card but not the other.

Re: vSAN на серверах HP DL360pG8
Были такие предположения, что вопрос в совместимости, но всё таки я надеялся на хорошую производительность, т.к. во многих статьях vSAN позиционируется именно как СХД на грядке старого, разношерстного железа.
По мимо 3х серверов участвующих в тестирование vSAN есть еще 2 аналогичных сервера 360pGen8 в продакшине и к ним подключены (через Dell PERC H800) полки SUNj4400 с 24 дисками (12х4TB SATA HDD + 12x512Gb SATA SSD) в каждой полке. Сейчас выход из стоя любого узла критично скажется на работе инфраструктуре, есть желание организоваться какую-то отказоустойчивость на уровни хранилища за небольшие деньги.
Какие варианты СХД можете посоветовать собрать с учетом имеющихся серверов и SATA дисков?
Или, если есть возможность, направить на верный путь в области vSAN, что докупить к моему железу для получения результата.

Re: IOS Client (Latest version)
No, this case is not supported by iOS client yet. iOS client only supports single session. Namely, you can not connect to two or more desktop/app sessions at the same time.

Re: error codes 30
we suspected the MTU values in the UCS (its set to 9000) others are 1500 (working hosts). after reset the value from 9000 to 1500 there no use. Also by changing the boot value also seems will not fix the issues.
Yes we are in boot from SAN., please provide suggestions for fix this issues.

Re: Problem of LTO-3 tape drive access on ESXi 6.5 U1 HP DL388 Gen9 server with Smart HBA H241
Hello,
In this environment, I have ever used "esxcli storage nmp satp rule add..." and "esxcli storage core claimrule add..." to add HP Tape into the ESXi successfully, but at the moment, it also cannot be allocated for VM. Afterwards,after a few restart, the whole datastore from harddisk lost and whole ESXi has to be reinstalled to restore previous VMs. See attachment. So I think there must be something tips for "esxcli storage nmp satp rule add..." and "esxcli storage core claimrule add..." command to activate the HP Tape machine into ESXi completely. (see attached photo when I added the HP Tape in ESXi.)

Once again, connecting a tape drive to ESXi is not supported. That it managed to work at all to begin with is nothing short of a Christmas miracle. You'll have to take it as it comes.

That is just because the output engine of PowerShell is limited by the screensize.

Re: Lubuntu 16.10 ESXi 6.5 extreme network performance problems
Ok, first of all, do not, DO NOT use the VMXNET 3 network card driver if you are running the current release of ESXi. There is some weird bug in the newest versions (right up to the current release, build 7388607), that freezes when pulling data down from the network card (See bug 191201 – Randomly freezes due to VMXNET3 ). For all VMs until this bug is addressed, use the e1000 driver for Ubuntu VMs, and the e1000e driver for Windows 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 VMs.
Then check your /etc/network/interfaces file to make sure any cards match the ports if you change the driver. (Full disclosure, we run Ubuntu, not Lubuntu). Ubuntu 16 changed the assignments from eth0 and eth1 to ens numbers that change DEPENDING ON THE DRIVER/MAC ADDRESS YOU ARE USING. So, if you switched drivers, go into the console ssh client, and do "ip link" and see what address the card(s) are living at, and adjust the interfaces file accordingly. For example, our configuration looks like this:
auto ens36
iface ens36 inet static
address INTERNAL IP HERE
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway PATH TO GATEWAY
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
For the e1000 driver. This is changed from the VMXNET 3 address, ens160 or ens192 (for example).
You can also check your actual network connectivity by turning on the ESXi SSH client in the host (Host->Actions->Services->Enable Secure Shell SSH), and checking your connectivity there by SSHing in, and trying to connect to the 'net, and downloading a file > about 10MB. Remember to turn it off when you are done, or reboot ESXi afterward. If you can download fine there, then it is the virtual networking that is an issue (and probably the driver/assignments).
Good luck!

IOPS consideration
Hi,
We are going to setup remote site with vSAN 6.5. Expected IOPS requirement from app team is 15000 IOPS for all the VMs to be hosted, majority of 15K IOPS are from one VM only.
I read that vSAN ready node HY-6 series (CISCO C240 M4SX) can provide up to 20K IOPS. SO my question is, how to consider this 20K IOPS, is this for overall combining all 4 vSAN node ?
For example, if i have only one VM running on vSAN node-1, can that VM get whole ~ 20K IOPS ?
Thanks,

Virtual Machine Network Connection Settings Stuck on Loading virtual networks
I suddenly have in issue where all of my VM's are not able to have their network connection set to custom. The custom bullet is grayed out and in the window where the network would appear is showing Loading virtual networks.
I created a new typical VM and same issue
I went into the virtual network editor and had that set back to default.
I vaguely recall having this issue before and I think someone had an article about too many network adapters in the registry causing this, but I do not recall where in the registry I had to delete them. I have been looking on the net for a few hours an I am not able to find the article I had read about this.
