Changing the IP address, default gateway, and hostname of the Service Console in ESX


  1. Run the following command to set the IP address:
    [root@server root]# esxcfg-vswif -i <a.b.c.d> -n <w.x.y.z> vswif0 , where <a.b.c.d> is the IP address and <w.x.y.z> is the subnet mask.

    Note: In this example,     v
    swif0 is the Service Console adapter that is the interface to which you are applying the IP address change.
  2. Open the /etc/hosts file with a text editor and modify it so that it reflects the correct IP address and hostname.
  3. To change the default gateway address and the hostname, edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file and change the GATEWAY and HOSTNAME parameters to the proper values.
  4. For the changes to take place, reboot the host or restart the network service with the command:
    [root@server root]# service network restart


    Note: This command breaks any current network connections to the Service Console.

AD LDS – Syncronizing AD LDS with Active Directory

Image
First, we will install the AD LDS Instance:

1. Create and AD LDS instance by clicking Start -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard appears. 2. Click Next. The Setup Options dialog box appears. For the sake of this guide, a unique instance will be the primary focus. I will have a separate post regarding AD LDS replication at some point in the near future. 3. Select A unique instance. 4. Click Next and the Instance Name dialog box appears. The instance name will help you identify and differentiate it from other instances that you may have installed on the same end point. The instance name will be listed in the data directory for the instance as well as in the Add or Remove Programs snap-in. 5. Enter a unique instance name, for example IDG. 6. Click Next to display the Ports configuration dialog box. 7. Leave ports at their default values unless you have conflicts with the default values. 8. Click Next to display the App…

How can VMware Integrated Containers be useful in real life scenario - PART2

Image
In this post we see the options to deploy the Virtual Container Hosts ( VCH)

Ref: https://github.com/rdjagadeesh/vic_homelab/

The previous post talks about vSphere Integrated Containers and their benefits. The VIC offers a robust solution that enables the vSphere environment to quickly get containers up and running in their current vSphere infrastructure. This environment can be useful for migrating current apps to containers or for in-house development.
Architecture In a traditional container environment, containers run as threads within the container host. vSphere Integrated Containers leverage the native constructs of vSphere for provisioning container-based applications into its own container running its own very minimal Linux kernel with just enough code to run a Docker image, thus preventing any issue with containers being accessed from other containers by pushing isolation of the container down to the hypervisor layer that is much better at handling this type of isolation.

Update Manager 6.5 issue ""interface com.vmware.vim.binding.integrity.VcIntegrity is not visible from class loader""

Image
This post is related to the issue what we faced today when we replaced the SSL certificates in our setup. 
When I launched the web-client and access the update manager tab,  I get the message  "interface com.vmware.vim.binding.integrity.VcIntegrity is not visible from class loader"





I started off by restarting the VMWare vSphere Update Manager Service for the affected vCSA:
1. Log into vCenter using the administrator@vsphere.local account. 2. Home - System Configuration - Services - Restart



This did not resolve my issue... And we tried restarting all the services by SSH/Console into the affected server and run the following commands:
service-control --stop --all service-control --start --all Still no luck. 
Make sure the certs are applied and it gets reflected in the config file. ( verify if the thumbprint matches) 
root@homelab71 [ /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin ]# pwd /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin
root@homelab71 [ /usr/lib/vmware-updatemgr/bin ]# ./updatemgr-util config -g | less
