customer: this technical thing is broken. support: define…broken? recently i’ve been sorting through vvols on vsphere 6.5 with a few storage vendors. below are some items to be aware of as you are i ran into an issue recently where drs was failing to move some vms between 1 of 3 hosts. to test the compatibility states i manually attempted a vmotion of one of the affected vms to each host to see what the recommendations would say in the vcenter web client. in this case one of the hosts was failing to provide the following cpu instructions:. why vmware’s network insight is showing a large amount of 240.240.240.240 entities. while testing out vmware’s network insight i noticed a large amount of source ips showing up as 240.240.240.240. at first i didn’t recognize that address, especially since it’s a clas* e range. according to vmware’s kb it’s a placeholder ip for sets of ip > 5000 addresses in order to prevent system load from becoming too high. when i ssh into esxi servers on macos and run esxtop, i usually end up with a mostly unreadable csv dump.. vcsa 6.5 vcenter failing to check for updates with error “stage failed”. while we were upgrading one of our vcsa 6.5 vcenter appliances to 6.5 update 1, i ran into an error stage failed when trying to check for since migrating to the new photon os based vcenter 6.5 vcsa appliance, we’ve had issues with alerts not being sent to email. as it turns out, there’s a problem with the internal configuration not being updated properly. vmware is aware of it and should hopefully one of the more powerful features that vmware has added to several product lines lately has been vsphere tags. as time has gone on support for these tags has been added to other products beyond just vsphere vcenter such as vrealize operations and powercli cmdlets. i still see engineers ask why someone would use tags instead of the older school custom attributes, so i figured i’d show how we use we utilize tags in two specific ways. the first is to use the tags to filter groups of vms for powercli reporting. in our case we have tags
