Re: SSH will not stay enabled
Below is a link, maybe take a look at :
/var/log/shell.log: ESXi Shell usage logs, including enable/disable and every command entered.

Log Insight 3.0.0-3021606 Adding Additional Storage
The documentation around adding further storage to Log Insight isn't exactly clear, "You increase the storage space by adding a new virtual disk to the Log Insight virtual appliance. You can add as many disks as you need, and as your environment permits " I don't believe this is entirely true, I read somewhere that a maximum of 2TB can be added to a Log Insight appliance by adding an additional disk/s and not by increasing the current disk, can someone confirm?

Log Insight Event Channel Logging - Default Behavior
Once a Windows Server has a Log Insight Agent deployed and configured and the System, Application and Security channels are being monitored does it send every event generated on the server back to Log Insight? My assumption is yes, however for some events generated on the server I can't find these in a search on the log Insight Server.

Re: Create a New Local Admin Account on Multiple ESXi 5.5u3b Servers - Errors w/ Existing Script
If this is literally the exact code as in your script, then this will not work.
First I'll show you which version of PowerCLI I use (because maybe it's some quirkiness in your version):
(Get-PowerCLIVersion).UserFriendlyVersion VMware vSphere PowerCLI 6.0 Release 3 build 3205540
Then after I've typed this code exactly as is notated here. I happen to have a server named ESX01 in my environment. Please correct to your ESXi's hostname. Correct the password too (replace the value between the quotes):
$node = Connect-VIServer -Server 'esx01' -User root -Password 'P@ssw0rd' New-VMHostAccount -Id 'Test' -Password 'P@ssw0rd' -Description 'Tester' -GrantShellAccess:$true -Server $node New-VIPermission -Entity $node.name -Principal 'Test' -Role Admin -Propagate:$true -Server $node
This works flawless in my environment. Check the screenshot:

Re: Log Insight Event Channel Logging - Default Behavior
You can add a tag in the liagent.ini file something like:
[winlog|custom]
channel=Custom
tags={"ChannelDescription": "Events testing channel"}
To the channels of interest to you and filter on these tags in Interactive Analytics to check if you are receiving the logs from these channels.

Migrate Environment
I need support, i have to migrate the production environment on new hardware (Enclosure C7000 with 5 Blade).
the current environment is composed from 3 Server Esxi 5.5 Enterprise Plus and Vcenter (Virtual Hardware) 5.5 standard edition, and datastore on Storage SAN. The new environment is composed 5 Blade with Esxi Enterprise (not Plus), and new Storage SAN,
and i was thinking to use the same Vcenter (don't have another license).
I wanted to do the migration by adding new Esxi to vCenter, present new Lun's, and then migrate the VM on the new Esxi and vCenter, after remove the old Esxi.
Unfortunately having the licenses of new Esxi "Enterprise Standard" (not Plus), I think not to do so,
because on Esxi current use of Distributed Virtual Switch, so do not know how to proceed by giving the minimal impact to applications

vCenter Install Fails when trying to install the vCenter Server to the PSC node in HA mode
Hi All ,
we have build two platform Service controllers in HA mode . We are trying to install the vCenter server and we are getting the below error message.
VCSCAValidateRemoteSSO: Unable to retrieve remote SSO version: 12029
2016-03-30 17:07:16.656+11:00| vcsInstUtil-2656758| I: PitCA_MessageBox: Displaying message: "The VMware vCenter Server installer could not verify that the remote vCenter Single Sign-On server is of version 6.0.0 or later. Check whether the remote vCenter Single Sign-On server is reachable and is of version 6.0.0 or later."
Has anyone in the community run vcenter server 6 in HA mode with the PSC controllers sitting behing the f5 load balancer ? please share your thoughts if you have seen any similar issue.
Thanks .

Re: Log Insight Event Channel Logging - Default Behavior
Hi thanks, aware of that ;-) My question was more around the default behaviour of the System, App & Security channels. I'm assuming all events get sent (unless filtered) to Log Insight. I'm just not seeing them in Interactive Analytics, thus the query.

We are currently running Horizon 6.2 standard. I am considering upgrading to Horizon Enterprise, however I will need to setup a POC for AppVolumes and UEM first. When registering to evaluate Horizon 7 or AppVolumes on myvmware, the website only gives me a download link to version 2.10. I tried calling support and they just told me that "Version 3.0 not available for trial".
Can anyone help?

Re: Log Insight Event Channel Logging - Default Behavior
Yes they should all be there, I suggested tags to help narrow down the search when you look in Interactive Analytics, tags will allow to reduce the noise or the events that you do not need to see. Also check if your user name has any roles with data sets attached to it which might be filtering them out for you and hence you don't see it in Interactive analytics.

You can find LUN IDs for each datastore by simply going to host configuration > storage > devices.
