  • Upgrading the VCSA and converting to embedded PSC

    Nov 1, 2018 (Last modified: Mar 30, 2019) appliance psc upgrade vcenter

    This week I've been playing in our vCenter lab and tested the upgrade to 6.7 U1 and also changing the deployment type to vCenter with embedded PSC.

  • HPE iLO affects ESXi management agents - hosts in "not responding"

    Aug 27, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) bug hardware oneview vcenter

    Aug 20, 2018 (Last modified: Apr 1, 2019) api rest powershell vcenter

    For a long time, actually since we migrated to the VCSA in 6.5 last year, I've wanted to utilize the REST API in the appliance to have some monitoring of them.
