do you have a suggestion on how to do it via PowerCLI?

Re: TImeout for putting a host to maintenance mode
if you edit your power you can place it in the powercli section, you'll get a better response, and probably a response from the best in the business

TImeout for putting a host to maintenance mode
I have a reboot script that i found online and modified for my purposes however the problem i am running in to is some hosts in our environment have VM's that will not migration. Some cases its due to CDDrive connected, others due to some lingering issues in our environment we are still trying to resolve.
Anyway - here's the deal, PowerCli script does a rolling reboot of the hosts in a defined cluster.
Issue - gets to a host that cant enter maintenance mode for whatever reason
Solution - here is where i need some help. Is there a way to put a "timeout" to wait XX minutes for host to enter maintenance mode. Say 60 or 120 minutes, if failed to enter maintenance mode, cancel current host, move to next host in cluster.
Here is snippet of what i am working with
what i would like if possible to put some type of monitoring before the reboot to do what i mentioned above
Function RebootESXiServer ($CurrentServer) {
# Get Server name
$ServerName = $CurrentServer.Name
# Put server in maintenance mode
Write-Host "#### Rebooting $ServerName ####"
Write-Host "Entering Maintenance Mode"
Set-VMhost $CurrentServer -State maintenance -Evacuate | Out-Null
# Reboot server
Write-Host "Rebooting"
Restart-VMHost $CurrentServer -confirm:$false | Out-Null

Re: "Upgrade to 4.7.1-10752772 already in progress" -> Cannot Upgrade after Upgrade Failure.
Did you make a backup or snapshots before upgrade ?
I also suggest to open SR.

Migrating
Hi All
I have 2 hosts under a cluster on a Dell Vrtx M640
Both hosts are showing in VCentre. The problem is when I try migrate a server from host 1 to host 2, the host 2 doesn't show up on the list.
I checked the network setup and all is fine there.
Any other idea's ?
Thanks in advanced
Regards
Ryan

Re: TImeout for putting a host to maintenance mode
As a matter of fact, there is, just not via the Set-VMHost cmdlet.
If you look at the EnterMaintenanceMode method, you'll notice it has a Timeout property in the parameters you pass to the method.
It could look something like this
$esx=Get-VMHost-Name MyEsx
$spec=New-Object VMware.Vim.HostMaintenanceSpec
# Only needed when the node is part of a VSAN cluster
$spec.VsanMode=New-Object VMware.Vim.VsanHostDecommissionMode
$spec.VsanMode.ObjectAction=[VMware.Vim.VsanHostDecommissionModeObjectAction]::evacuateAllData
# End VSAN
$timeout=60 # Timeout in seconds
$evacuatePoweredOffVMs=$false
$esx.ExtensionData.EnterMaintenanceMode($timeout,$evacuatePoweredOffVMs,$spec)

Re: Migrating
It's not then compatible with that type of migration you're attempting to perform. Need more info on your setup to determine why that is including type of license, vMotion connectivity, etc.

Hi all,
I was not able to find a way to create a new Organization in my brand new installed vRealize Automation 8. Anyone knows how to do this?
Thanks a lot.

discussion on virtual workstation implementation.
Hello Community! My question is about which product to use for the virtualizing workstations. We're a small firm with about 40 windows assets that need to be updated with a fresh new OS since majority of these are WIN7. I'm new to the firm and I believe that to save on costs and systems management, we should remove all workstations and put them either in the CLOUD or keep our onsite VM implementation and virtualize all workstations. I would distribute Laptops that would allow all users to either RDP to their workstations from either inside the network OR remotely.
What I'm trying to understand is which way to go. Should I consider just VM'ing using my existing VM implementation (v.6x) OR should there be some consideration for VM's cloud services? Please keep in mind that I want to use the most cost effective of these solutions and not just "throw money and caution" into the wind.
Any and all comments are welcomed! Thank you in advance!

Завершение работы ESXi
Добрый день совсем недавно начал использовать ESXi в качестве гипервизара и заметил, что при выключении сервер не паркует головки дисков и они выключаются с соответствующим звуком. Ктонибудь знает можно ли это исправить или сталкивался с подобным? Сервер HP Microserver G10. Спасибо.

Re: App Volumes Invalid Session Cookie
Agreed jmatz135.
This is completely ridiculous that their "fix" for it requires modifying the underlying database structure. I'm just rolling back to a previous version.
[EDIT] I just tested this "fix" and while my app volumes are now stacking, now I can't launch any programs that require GPU acceleration. I don't even understand how this is related, particularly since the applications I'm trying to launch aren't even on appvols (they are installed on the instant clone directly). Rolling back to version 2.15.0.41 fixes both the issues for us. I'm not sure if there is a later version that would fix this as that was the previous version we were on, but I can't waste anymore time on this. The newest version is already pretty old, and these comments go back a while, I'm guessing they aren't fixing it at this point.

Re: Best method of updating snapvol.cfg
I need to update the snapvol.cfg for some appstacks because we plan on rolling out FSLogix soon. When I try to attach any appstack VMDK to a non-app volumes VM, it won't let me and fails with a read-only error. Any thoughts?

Re: Geneve tunnels between NSX-T Edge and ESXi stopped working.
Hello,
I've found out the issue. The dvPortGroup that is used for NSX-T has had its VLAN set to 2, it used to be on no VLAN.
When I set it to VLAN 0, the tunnels work again. However, when I do that, I end up with traffic getting mixed up on two different port groups, both with no VLAN set.
Is there a way to make it so that it will work when the VLAN is set to 2? Or that I don't end up having traffic from one dvPortGroup on the other?
Edit: When I try to make an uplink profile to the NSX Edges with VLAN2 the tunnel between the Edges won't connect.
Kind regards,
Michael Goossens

Re: Завершение работы ESXi
Если вы выберете «Завершение работы», хост ESXi отключится. Вы должны включить систему вручную.
Сервер ESXi не отключает физические диски на сервере ESXi, когда активность диска не обнаружена. Это не было бы хорошей особенностью относительно уровня рейда. Для USB-накопителей вы должны проверить в настройках прошивки / bios / os цепочки любые настройки замедления. USB-накопители после нескольких минут бездействия.

Re: Best method of updating snapvol.cfg
My first guess is that the appstack you're trying to modify is still attached to at least one other VM with the App Volumes agent on it. You'll need to have the appstack detached from everything before attaching it to the non-App Volumes VM.
