Re: Migrate Environment
About te migration from Distributed switch to Standard switch what you need to do is create a new Standard switch in your old hosts with at least one uplink (vmnic), migrate all virtual machine to the new Standard switch on the old hosts and once all virtual machine are on the Standard switch you can migrate them to the new hosts with the Standard switch. Note that depending of your CPU configuration, you will may not be able to migrate the virtual machine due to CPU compatibility, but you may try enable EVC in your new cluster to make possible the migration without shutdown the virtual machines.

powercli: LicenseManager, UpdateLicense method(vSphere API)
Hi,
I have written the following script:
[script]
------------------------------------
Connect-VIServer<ServerIP> -User<Username> -Password<password>
$servInst = Get-View ServiceInstance
$licMgr = Get-View $servInst.Content.licenseManager
$licenseToBeUpdated= "6J4VP-EPH1N-R8860-083U4-2KYN2"
$licencesPresent= $licMgr.Licenses
$label = New-Object VMware.Vim.keyValue
$label.Key = "Name"
$label.Value = "Standard"
foreach($lp in $licencesPresent)
{
if($lp.LicenseKey -eq $licenseToBeUpdated){
Write-Output ("license found")
$licMgr.UpdateLicense($lp.LicenseKey, $label)
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have few questions:
>> How to pass the key/value parameter to the UpdateLicense method
Update license takes the license key as first argument and the label(key, value) as second parameter
In what format can we pass the parameter
>> When i try to see the labels associated with a particular license Object
i see an empty list
in this case how do I update the name of the license
is the license's name considered to be a label?
Thank you,
Basu

Clustered Print Solution - Server 2012
Hello All,
This is most likely the wrong area to post this question in, but I don't think any category was going to work anyway.
I need to build a highly available print server solution which spans two datacentres 30km (roughly 15 miles) apart. The preference is to use Server 2012.
Has anyone got any information or links on how this can be accomplished?
Options I've thought of;
1) Protect the print server using SRM. Possible but not preferred as this would require manual intervention for the server to fail over and the print queues being used service medical devices that may have time critical sensitivity attached.
2) Use third party software. We are deploying a managed print solution for the vast majority of the environment, but these medical systems are not always going to be on the domain and may not integrate properly with the third party software. I do know that most of them do work with standard Microsoft Print Server in 2008 R2.
3) Deploy brand new 2008 R2 servers and create a MSCS solution. This is not a good option but I might have to do it this way.
It is because these these are critical that I really want the solution to be high available (in the sense that the application always functions, not that the server will perform a restart) across two sites, so even if I lose one of my datacentres the solution will still run. Most of my infrastructure has been built to this specification.
So once again what I'm hoping to do is built a print cluster on server 2012 with the same functionality and resiliency that can be achieved in server 2008 R2.
Cheers,
Paul

Re: Unattended installation of VMRC 7.0.1 - MSI install switches?
It looks like the non-current installers have been removed from vmware.com. Have you tried installing VMRC 8.0 over VMRC 7.0.1 then uninstalling with the 8.0 msi? This works through the GUI, I haven't tried unattended.

Re: Issue with Objects List View/Tab
Okay sorry for the confusion. We're only interested with 6.x version. I'm assuming that the sample will only work if the target web client version is 6.x, is this correct?

Re: Odd deadlock errors
I wanted to reply with a potential for a workaround as suggested by the VMware engineer - we are restructuring our workflows to use asynchronous calls rather then nested. so far this approach has not triggered deadlock errors against our databases. We still get the benefit of running inner workflows in parallel; a small drawback is the user needs to follow asynch workflow execution in client gui if it is used for monitoring activities.
↧
Re: Issue with Objects List View/Tab
Yes, that's correct. This is controlled by the following line in the sample's plugin-package.xml:
<pluginPackage id="com.vmware.vsphere.client" version="6.0.0" />
Defined this way it means "the plugin is compatible by Web Client version 6.0.0 or above".
Cheers,
Vladimir

Re: Is it possible to put an ESXi 6.x LOCAL datastore into maintenance mode?
The feature is available and not removed!
Please consider:
Maintenance mode is available to datastores within a StorageDRS-enabled datastore cluster. Standalone datastores cannot be placed in maintenancemode.
The situation is same for ESXi 5.1, 5.5 and 6.x.

Try replacing the text 'admin' on the Role parameter with the expression Get-ViRole -Name admin -Server $node.
