VMware Tools Using VIB

 Hello Guys,

In this post I'm going to show you how to apply a VMware Tools VIB to update the version propagated by the ESXi Host.

First Download the File From Broadcom WebPage

Then we have to go to the esxi host, please connect using SSH as follows:

1. Upload the VIB into a Datastore.

2. Connect Using SSH

3. Use root and password Credentials.

Now in the SSH Session execute the next commands:

First, get the info of the VIB:

esxcli software sources vib get -d /vmfs/volumes/MYDS/MyFolder/VMware-Tools-13.0.5-core-offline-depot-ESXi-all-24916190.zip

Then execute this command to update the VIB

esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/MYDS/MyFolder/VMware-Tools-13.0.5-core-offline-depot-ESXi-all-24916190.zip

And with this command install de VIB

esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/MYDS/MyFolder/VMware-Tools-13.0.5-core-offline-depot-ESXi-all-24916190.zip

Lastly execute the next command to guarantee that the VIB is currently working in the ESXi Host

esxcli software vib list | grep -i tool

With this your esxi Host is able to apply most recently VMware Tools Version published in the Broadcom Download Portal.

Hello Guys,

In this post I'm going to show you how to make a repoint of Single Sign On in VMware vCenter Server

Before:

Collect the FQDN from both VMware vCenter Server.

Collect administrator@vsphere.local credentials.

Connect to vCenter Server using root credential by SSH.

First, Execute the precheck into the VMware vCenter Server:

cmsso-util domain-repoint -m pre-check --src-emb-admin Administrator --replication-partner-fqdn vcenter-002.dian.loc --replication-partner-admin administrator --dest-domain-name vsphere.local

If the Precheck was succesfull that means that We can proceed with the configuration, as follows:

cmsso-util domain-repoint -m execute --src-emb-admin Administrator --replication-partner-fqdn vcenter-002.dian.loc --replication-partner-admin administrator --dest-domain-name vsphere.local

After you can work with the ELM in the other SSO domain.
