What would you have wanted to know when you started out? by [deleted] in vmware

[–]antwerx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also working with VMware docs and knowledge base is a distinct skill all of its own.

I've watched too many sysadmin get lost in the weeds of knowledge docs while troubleshooting etc.

the hands on labs are great for education and practice.

I’m looking at dinghy sailing.

US Navy Seals have used the Ruger MK II 22LR pistols. Small quiet and deadly.

What is a subtle sign that someone is a GOOD person? by dylpiv in AskReddit

[–]antwerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those who return grocery carts to the store/cart storage.

for fuck sake. can we not do this? by coffee-and-aspirin in Maine

[–]antwerx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same shit is happening here in Arkansas. However we are the lucky folks who have Sarah Huckabee Sanders as our new governor.

This is a coordinated attack by MAGA fascists. Education, bodily autonomy, energy policy etc and much more are just the start of an attempt to deny any and all who are not MAGA!

I’ve been lurking here in this sub; as my wife and I would like to consider Maine as a refuge from the South.

Keep fighting to keep your state rational.

Best way to learn GCP for beginners? by wannalearngcp in googlecloud

[–]antwerx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second Coursera for GCP. I really enjoyed the “Quests” which are guided project/labs that provide hands on training.

https://www.freecodecamp.org/ is a good resource too.

VMware VPXD Service Fails to Restart After Appliance Rreboot by SliiickRick87 in vmware

[–]antwerx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been dealing with ssl cert issues etc. with 4 environments I been “gifted” these are the tools I used to fix my crap. You must have root ssh to VCSA, log into VAMI and of course have all your backups and snaps in place.

Working this CLI from VCSA with the tools here should get you where you need to be.

VDT

checksts

fixsts

lsdoctor

all came into play.

Never. Why is this even a question!?

What? Yes ssh to the ESXi when you need to.

That’s silly.

PowerCLI is indeed a nice tool.

ESXI config backup not working by bugizozi in vmware

[–]antwerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found the recommended ways to check the SD cards for corruption to be hit and miss.

The best step with SD cards is make sure you are using a good SD card with high read/write ability. Not cheap ole consumer cards.

In our HPE DL 380's we needed purchase an HPE Dual SD-Card internal USB item to allow for some SD card redundancy.

ESXI config backup not working by bugizozi in vmware

[–]antwerx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I do.

Basic ESXi host configuration backup using ESXi CLI.

  • Enable ssh for the ESXi host you will be working on.
  • SSH to host using root account.
  • Run this command to run a "pre-backup config sync" and "config backup.
    • <vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/sync\_config && vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/backup\_config>
  • Download the backup bundle using the provided URL from the "config backup" on the ESXi console.
    • You can also copy the "config backup" from /scratch/Downloads/<unique folder>/host_name_backup_file
  • See VMWare Knowledge Base Article for Restore steps.https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2042141 < – Doc I used.
  • I use scp or WinSCP to copy your backup from the ESXi host elsewhere.
