On top of that, you configure each alarm with the email address(es) you want to be sent alerts.
You really want to use a PowerCLI script to masnage vCenter alarm email actions!įor one, the action must be set individually on each alarm. Have you ever gone through your vCenter and configured alarms to email? If you have, you know that if anything ever screamed for automation within vSphere, it’s this, as it is extremely tedious. It’s your call how to handle that part, but this is how you can remove conflicting VIBs at a basic level. You could obviously make a variable of all your ESXi hosts and do them all at once, but you might not want to leave your ESXi hosts sitting there waiting for a reboot for a while. Next, run the following commands after connecting to your vCenter server via PowerCLI: $modules = gc c:\scripts\modulesnames.txt First, make a text file with the names of each conflicting VIB name, with one name per line. You don’t have to enable SSH on all your ESXi hosts. It’s even easier with PowerCLI to remove these conflicting VIBs. Removing conflicting VIBs the PowerCLI way If so, reboot the servers before proceeding with the upgrade. Watch for indications if the server needs to be rebooted when you run the command. In the case above, they are named scsi-qla2xxx and scsi-lpfc820. Then, run the following command:Įsxcli software vib remove –vibname conflicting-vib-name You need the name of the conflicting module, and enable SSH on the ESXi hosts.
There’s nothing special about how to remove them via ESXCLI.
There’s actually only two.īasically, these conflicting modules should be removed prior to upgrading the ESXi hosts. It repeated the problematic modules twice. Note that there aren’t actually four conflicting VIBS. Upon scanning the ESXi hosst with VMware Update Manager, I received a warning that the HPE custom ISO was incompatible. I got the latest custom ISO from HPE for ESXi 6.0 Update 1, created a VUM baseline, and attached it to the clusters in question. While working with a customer on a vSphere 6.0 to 6.5 upgrade, I prepared everything as it should be. Here’s another example of how PowerCLI can make you more productive. Today, I ran into an issue where I was upgrading ESXi 6.0 servers to 6.5 Update 1 using an HPE custom ISO.
