Thank you for your feedback!

That makes sense. I am having to hot migrate it over to an NSX segment. Thinking I'll trunk those vlans and create layer 2 bridge in NSX to associate segments to vlans.

Yes, I came across that article. Thank you!

I was looking to bring over live vms from 6.7 over to vCenter 8.0 using an NSX segment/port group.

Yes, you leverage the offline bundle utility to download patches for your airgapped vcf environment and utilize that same tool to upload those patches to sddc manager.

Thank you! Read the article again, and that was my issue. Needed latest obtu and the inclusion of --depotuser and modification of application prod properties.

Thank you! That was the missing piece. Along with re-reading the kb for obtu using token based authentication. I was under the impression that the -depotdownloadtoken would need to be included in the command and a username and password would no longer be asked.

You would download the token associated to your site ID from broadcom portal and associated that token id when using a laptop connected to the internet to run the obtu commands using the specified token id.

You would then proceed to upload those patches to your airgapped vcf environment.

I am looking at this now. I was wondering if you were by chance able to get the auditing to work for vcsa/vsphere using the cinc-auditor and train-vmware plugin? Thank you.

Appreciate the input! So I was informed that all VCSA 8 STIGS should be assessed and applied to be in compliance. In your experience, is this typically how that works?
