Re: how can add 2 vcenter in one vcenter
Yes, it is recommended to have them on the same version. AFAIK, different versions might work (such as during the time of upgrade) but not supported in a production environment.

Re: Destroy fails in 7.4 due to deleted user?
We banged our heads against this for a couple of days. We come from a vCloud Director background and there are a lot of things that don't make much sense to us, this being one of them. We probably need to change our mindset on how we approach deployments and I can't say if this is a bug. Suffice it to say there are a lot of things that were really simple to do that we either can't do anymore or take some cumbersome steps. We haven't tried the workflow suggestion.

Ethernet Connection X552/X557-AT 10GBASE-T Card Not Recognized
Hello,
I have ESXi 6.5 U2 up and running with 2 - 1GB nics currently in use on a SuperMicro platform. I did some digging and found my host to be missing the correct drive for the nic installed. I downloaded and installed the ixgben--1.6.5.zip bundle and reloaded, but still no dice. I would like these 10G nics running to separate management traffic from user traffic. I have included a few commands for your viewing. The nics do not show up in the GUI at all and it appears the system knows the card is plug in, but doesn't know how to treat it. Please assist. Thank you.

Re: VM data consumption on vSAN Storage
ok so what happens when you need to storage vMotion the VM to another type of storage which is not vSAN.
To keep with the same example let's say that the LUN will be of 1.5TB, will the vMotion allow the migration since the VM vmdk would show as 2GB (since stored on vSAN)?

Re: 503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint:
Hello All,
If no one has found an answer to this yet, I have a solution that worked for me and was pretty easy actually.
Log in to VCSA using SSH and modify /etc/hosts. Make you enable SSH first if you don't know how to do that please research. I have the answer but I'm sure most of you can figure that out.
Type ---- > shell.set --enabled TRUE
Type ----- > shell
Type ----- >vi /etc/hosts or you can "cat" the file first to look at it but you will need to edit more than likely.
I ADDED A LINE HERE THAT SAID THE FOLLOWING WITHIN THE "HOST":
I inserted this right below the 127.0.0.1 line .......
192.168.x.x <INSERT FQDN>.LOCAL
SAVED FILE AND REBOOTED VCSA
Once I rebooted VCSA and the servers started up completely, took a few minutes, I was able to access VCSA just fine using the FQDN name URL.
My initial error message was the following:
503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http16LocalServiceSpecE:0x00007fe854035a70] _serverNamespace = /vsphere-client action = Allow _port = 9090)

Re: Guest Customization Windows 10 1803 starts but doesnt finish
We are currently using vSphere Web Client Version 6.7.0.1150 Build 8170132 and ESXi 6.0.0, 3380124.

Re: Ethernet Connection X552/X557-AT 10GBASE-T Card Not Recognized
Please follow the below steps and check if it works -
1) Upgrade the ixgbe driver to the version 4.5.3 - Download VMware vSphere
2) Run the below commands to disable the native driver module and enable the async module -
<esxcli system module set --enabled=false --module=ixgben>
<esxcli system module set --enabled=true --module=ixgbe> (or) <esxcli system module set --enabled=true --module=net-ixgbe>
3) Reboot the host

Can anyone import a Parallels 14 VM into VMware Professional Version 10.1.3 (9472307)?
I am trying to move a VM from Parallels 14 (the new release) to VMware --- It always ends badly (corrupted virtual disk or some such).
Used to be from Parallels 13 it worked fine.
If I try the 'beta' of VMware 11 and get the file moved am I still hung since VMware 10 doesn't seem to read VM 11 files?
Any suggestions?

Re: software-packages
In summary of the options:
Pick one of the following:
software-packages stage --iso --acceptEulasstages software packages from ISO and accepts EULA.software-packages stage --url --acceptEulasstages software packages from the default VMware online repository and accepts EULA.
Verify that it downloaded correctly:
software-packages list --stagedlists the details of the staged software package.
Install the updates:
software-packages install --stagedinstalls the staged software package.
Apply the changes:
rebootreboots the VCSA
Also if like me you had a PSC where the software-packages command was missing try this instead:
# python /usr/lib/applmgmt/support/scripts/software-packages.py <Then add options>

Early Access: Architecture and Design Guidance for NIST 800-53
Many of our customers deploy VMware Validated Designs with the expectation that they will enhance the environment to configure, harden, and secure it to meet compliance regulations. The compliance requirements can range from NIST 800-53, PCI, HIPAA, FBI CJIS, DISA STIG, to international standards such as ISO27001, GDPR, et cetera.
We are working towards embedding additional security and explicitly citing compliance within the standard design, providing mapping of controls to specific regulations to facilitate auditing the system, and defining a baseline to build upon across all VMware Validated Designs.
This Early Access document represents an initial release of architecture and design guidance specific to NIST 800-53. This compliance domain will serve as our baseline that will then be translated and enhanced into specific guidance documents to address each regulation as a stand-alone document. However, the similarities in the security principles, configuration steps, and ennoblement of security controls should maximize content standardization.
I am eager to share this document with the wider community and listen to your input, suggestions, and thoughts.
Got feedback?
We want to hear from you. Please explore this latest early access content and share your feedback directly with our architects and product managers!

Re: Split Disk Chunks are larger than 2GB (8.5.10 Pro)
Hi André, many thanks for the quick reply!
In my case it's not to be strictly 2GB, but after some empirical tests I figured I'm not really in control of the maximum size of disk chunks and files still grow much larger than the desired size.
Both articles you referred to confirm what I experienced so far.
I copied vmware-vdiskmanager from an old system with Fusion 5.
Alas, although it behaves differently, chunks also grow way beyond 2GB.
So I think it's save to say VMware changed the behaviour of vmware-vdiskmanager after Fusion 3.0.2 earliest, but v 5.0.3 latest.
So, after getting 1023856-vdiskmanager-3.0.2.zip from the aforementioned KB-article does the trick.
FWIW, the older the versions of Fusion/vmware-vdiskmanager the smaller the maximum disk size:
| Fusion 8.5.10 / vmware-vdiskmanager build 7527438 | ide/scsi adapter : [1MB, 8192.0GB] / buslogic adapter : [1MB, 2040.0GB] |
| Fusion 5.0.3 / vmware-vdiskmanager build 1040386 | ide adapter : [1MB, 2040.0GB] / scsi adapter: [1MB, 2040.0GB] |
| Fusion 3.0.2 / vmware-vdiskmanager build 232708 | ide adapter : [1MB, 950.0GB] / scsi adapter: [1MB, 950.0GB] |
(according to the internal help of this versions I have at hands)
BTW, better late than never, I just discovered macOS Finder shows real Gigabytes and not Gibibytes for sizes.
Hence the 2GB we talk about (2*2^30 Bytes) chunk is listed as rounded to 2,15GB (as in metric Gigabytes) and not 2,0GB.
Thanks a lot - Michael.

Configure default gateway on vmotion TCP/IP stack
Hoping this one is easy. I'm trying this, from one of LucD's scripts I found:

$ipGateway = '192.168.0.1'
$ipDevice = 'vmk2'
$esx = Get-VMHost -Name $VMHost
$netSys = Get-View -Id $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
$stack = $esx.ExtensionData.Config.Network.NetStackInstance | where{$_.Key -eq 'vmotion'}
$config = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostNetworkConfig
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostNetworkConfigNetStackSpec
$spec.Operation = [VMware.Vim.ConfigSpecOperation]::edit
$spec.NetStackInstance = $stack
$spec.NetStackInstance.RouteTableConfig = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostIpRouteTableConfig
$route = New-Object VMware.vim.HostIpRouteConfig
$route.defaultGateway = $ipGateway
$route.gatewayDevice = $ipDevice
$spec.NetStackInstance.ipRouteConfig = $route
$config.NetStackSpec += $spec
$netsys.UpdateNetworkConfig($config,[VMware.Vim.HostConfigChangeMode]::modify)
Getting this error:
Exception calling "UpdateNetworkConfig" with "2" argument(s): "A specified parameter was not correct:

vmk2 is already created and moved to a VDS, with the IP configured and vMotion tcp/ip stack selected. All I'm trying to do is stuff the default gateway into the vMotion tcp/ip stack. Any ideas?
