Facing this problem 2 years go when bringing a customer from 4.x to 6.5. IIRC i "pull" the VMs rather than pushing them and i specify an old key algorythm/ cipher on command line for scp. Not sure about 6.5.
Regards,
Joerg

Re: VM data consumption on vSAN Storage
I know I started with GB but then jumped on to TB, sorry for that but think the point I want to make is still clear, i.e. the vSAN storage migration should work as long as the LUN has available space that satisfies the data size that the Guest VM operating system sees.
Point1: vSAN Default Storage Policy (FTT=1)
Point2: Default Datastore policy
Point3: Not sure, will need to check further. (Yes think error is a pre-check failure) Are you meaning that if the 1.5TB LUN currently has a VM with 600GB disk (thin provisioned) it would not allow me to make to storage migration? (Since it has to make sure that the current VM can grow up to 600GB) thus 1.5 - .6 = .9 left
Point4: No am using the web client (Not the HTML5 one as not supported on the version am running of 6.0)
Point5: Not sure but doubt they are aligned as can see the decimal points
I will try to research further and get more information.
Thanks

Re: VM+vdisks limitation for migrate
There is a limitation on how many concurrent vMotion and SvMotion can be performed per host. But, there is no limitation on the no. of vDisks with respect to migration -

None of this output shows either device firmware or ESXi driver and version.

Unable to run virtual machines after the upgrade to 6.7
Dear all,
I need your help since I struggle with virtual machines after the upgrade.
I have upgraded my ESXi 6.0 to 6.7 using SSH commands (e.g. https://miketabor.com/how-to-upgrade-esxi-6-5-to-esxi-6-7/ ). Immediately after I have signed in to the "new" web based ESXi vSphere I have noticed that:
a) virtual machines (2) have not started and have red exclamation mark
b) there are no datastores
I have tried the data store browser but web app throws JS errors on me. When I run Linux commands these are shown normally.
I have subsequently tried to downgrade ESXi, but this does not seems to be an optiion (both 6.0 and 6.5).
What I suspect is some hard drive controller driver missing (deleted during the update proces), but I do not know which one since there are many of them in the update log. Another thing that could possibly happened is that 6.0 => 6.7 was a big jump and I need to change VMFS to something new, because its no longer supported.
Update log:
Kernel log:
This is DYI home server:
CPU Intel Pentium G620T (2,2GHz, 3MB, LGA1155) BOX
MB MSI H61MA-E35 (B3) - H61, s.1155, DDR3, mATX
+ 3 hard drives
Thanks in advance for any help.

Early Access: VMware Pivotal Container Service for Workload Domains.
As many of you may know, this Early Access sub-community provides you an opportunity to download and discuss pre-released design materials for the VMware Validated Designs. We want you discover the latest content that is in development and learn about the potential directions in these designs.
I'm please to share the work that William Lam and I had the pleasure to develop recently, VMware Pivotal Container Service for Workload Domains. This early access material covers the architecture and design elements for adding PKS 1.1.x to a VMware Validated Design workload domain for a new container services layer.
The container services layer enables enterprises and service providers to simplify the deployment and operations of Kubernetes-based container services within the VMware SDDC. In the container services layer, access to production-grade Kubernetes distribution with advanced networking, built-in private registry, and full lifecycle management support of the clusters is provided on top of and integrated with the SDDC.

I'm please to share the work that we recently completed, Design and Deployment of VMware Skyline within the VMware Validated Design for SDDC. This early access material covers the architecture and design elements, plus deployment guidance, for adding Skyline Collector 1.4 to the VMware Validated Design and is applicable to single-region, dual-region, and multi-availability zones.
VMware Skyline is a technology for proactive support. VMware Skyline uses automation to securely collect data and perform environment-specific analytics on configuration, feature, and performance data. The resulting information improves visibility in your environment. As a result, VMware and your organization interact without extensive time and investment by support administrators. As a result, proactive, predictive, and prescriptive recommendations by VMware improve the stability and reliability of the environment. In addition, reactive support issues can be resolved more quickly.

Re: VM+vdisks limitation for migrate
what does this mean
Concurrent vMotion operations per VMFS volumes 128
vMotion operations per host (10 Gb/s network) 8
vMotion operations per datastore 128
Storage vMotion operations per host 2
Storage vMotion operations per datastore 8

Re: Unable to run virtual machines after the upgrade to 6.7
In the vSphere web client
Actions > Compatibility > Upgrade VM Compatibility....
How old is this VM that it has the HW version set so low??
Here is a document talking about the hardware version upgrade: VMware Knowledge Base
Before you upgrade the virtual hardware:
- Create a backup or snapshot of the virtual machine. For more information, see:
- Take a Snapshot in the vSphere Web Client section in the vSphere 5.1 Virtual Machine Administration guide.
- Take a Snapshot in the vSphere Client section in the vSphere 5.1 Virtual Machine Administration guide.
- Upgrade VMware Tools. On Microsoft Windows virtual machines, if you upgrade the virtual hardware before you upgrade VMware Tools, the virtual machine might lose its network settings.
- Verify that all .vmdk files are available to the ESXi/ESX hosts on a VMFS 3, VMFS 5, or NFS datastore.
- Verify that the virtual machines are stored on VMFS 3, VMFS 5 or NFS datastores.
- Determine the version of the virtual hardware by selecting the virtual machine from the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client and clicking the Summary tab. The VM Version label in the Compatibility field displays the virtual hardware version

Re: Unable to run virtual machines after the upgrade to 6.7
Upgrading a white-box can always be a hit, or miss.
Anyway, please follow the upgrade steps again until step 4, but replace the command with the one below, and post the output.
esxcli software profile install -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.7.0-20180804001-standard --ok-to-remove --dry-runNote: This command will not modify anything (--dry-run), but will show what's left over from the old installation.

Re: SCP between 4.1 and 6.7 no matching KexAlgo
What may be an option is https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/06/how-to-copy-vms-directly-between-esxi.html
Hint: In case you want the target VMs being thin provisioned, insert the option --dm=thin behind the ovftool command.

Esxi Time
hello everybody,
Using latest Esxi. But VMMachines time is not properly correct though I made those correct many times!
Do I have to make it correct from Esxi?
Thanks in Advance

Re: Esxi Time
Yes, you need to set the time properly within ESXi or use an NTP server as the source of clock sync.
