Hello, thank you for the settings. They worked. I added the following settings. The attached vc.json does not even need the hostname specified. It uses the one configured in the system. The system has a static ip and is joined to an active directory previous to vCenter installation.
"ceip": {
"ceip.enabled": false,
"ceip.acknowledged": true
}
Cheers,
Thomas
Follow up:
the patch update failed because the root password (or the admin password) needed to be updated.
You can see this in /storage/log/vmware/applmgmt/software-packages.log
So I updated the root and the admin passwords, installed the update via ISO, and now I am on version 6.5.0.22000 Build Number 9451637.
BUT:
VAMI was still not up after a reboot. All services looked OK in the VCSA console, but vami-lighttp was disabled in the OS. To start it, 2 options:
1) go to the console/shell and run "service vami-lighttp start", every time you restart VCSA
2) go to the console/shell and run "chkconfig vami-lighttp on", and reboot. (once)
I marked this as the correct answer as it is more complete, but I would have been unable to get here without the help from a.p.
The main goal for a community is to get help, and to help others.
It is absolutely ok to mark your own reply with the solution as the correct answer.
The solution you've posted will definitely help others. Thanks for sharing it!

I find the problem..
it turned out to be a hardware controller and Cache Ratio setting. In my case it was HP P410 Hw Controller
/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl all show config detail | head -40
Cache Board Present: True
Cache Status: OK
Cache Status Details: A cache error was detected. Run a diagnostic report for more information.
Cache Ratio: 100% Read / 0% Write
Drive Write Cache: Disabled
to fix it, the Cache Ratio must be forced by 50/50
/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl slot=2 modify cr=50/50 forced
and then suddenly the error disappears, and we can change it to the optimal setting for us.. for example 25 % Read / 75% Write
/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl slot=2 modify cr=25/75
/opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli ctrl all show config detail | head -40
Smart Array P410 in Slot 2

Dear all
Hi
is there any limitation for migrate a vm+disks from one esxi host to other esxi hosts? for example maximum vdisk or .....
Br
I'm not aware of such a limit. Any VM configuration that's supported on both - source, and target host - should work.
André
Salve!
Vorrei provare vmware vSphere versione enterprise plus dove posso trovare il link? che in questa versione enterprise plus c'è la vGPU in questa versione.
Le mie domande da farvi è; questo software è in grado di monitorare la macchina virtuale dopo aver creato su vSphere su uno smartphone android da remoto? è lavorarci su qualsiasi dispositivo sia tablet e sia su smartphone android o IOS a distanza?
Grazie e attendo risposte.
Hello andvm,
Verify what SP(Storage Policy) the VM has and that it is compliant with this (e.g. check that it doesn't have an FTT=0 SP and/or is non-compliant).
What datastore option are you using when performing the SvMotion? - Do ensure you are applying something valid and please show a screenshot of the what this shows at this validation point.
Are you 100% positive that your 1.5TB SAN LUN actually has 1.5TB space available? e.g. not Thin/Over-provisioned. Are you getting a pre-check failure saying not enough space, if so where and please share.
Are you using anything that isn't so savvy of SPBM such as the C# client.
Are the vmdk Objects attached to the VM all 1MB-aligned? (e.g. when you look at them under Edit Settings do they show as 2TB or for example 2000.12823467GB)
Bob
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
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
my means is for example can i migrate 20vms+40vdisk in same time there is not any limitation ?
BR
Please show the driver and driver version in use as well as the firmware for this/these SSDs.
I downloaded gparted booted in vmware client . Asked it to refresh the HDDs. Yet the VMware HDD is not detected. I am really stuck up.
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 -

Please consider marking this answer as "correct" or "helpful" if you think your questions have been answered.

Thank you also that was the problem Many thanks
Hello,
I don't know why it doesn't show me the device firmware
Here is the output:

oh Sorry,
How can I check it?
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.
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.
