"169.254.xxx.xxx" are APIPA addresses, i.e. self-assigned addresses. This occurs if no DHCP offer is received.
Please double check the DHCP server's configuration, and the configured DHCP range.

Re: Set up for management on home network and home lab virtual network on different subnet.
169.254.x.x addresses are self-assigned by the guest OSes, this will happen when a DHCP client which supports APIPA does not receive an address from a DHCP server: APIPA - The Wireshark Wiki
They are nothing to do with VMware.

Re: Upgrade vCenter Server 6.0 U3i from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2 Best Practice
Thanks for your reply. We need to support a VDI Horizon View 6.X environment, we can't upgrade from a Windows-based vCenter & vSphere 6.0 at this time.

Re: running PowerCLI on vCenter
I thought as much.
Let’s hope the storage provider find a method for their tool which can avoid this scenario!

So you can add View 6.x to your list of unsupported software.

Re: Get VM MAC within a script pulling all of the data from the host/guests
Question: When I run the correction in my script the MAC is only returned on the first VM and not the others?
My test one show all of the MAC's per the 3 VM's I have on that host.
$user = 'user'
$pswd = '1234'
$target = '192.168.2.221'
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -InvalidCertificateAction Ignore -Confirm:$false
Connect-VIServer -Server $target -User $user -Password $pswd
Get-VM -PipelineVariable vm | Get-NetworkAdapter |
Select @{N=”IP Address”;E={$nic = $_; ($vm.Guest.Nics | where{$_.Device.Name -eq $nic.Name}).IPAddress -join '|'}}, MacAddress
Disconnect-VIServer -Server $target -Confirm:$false

Re: running PowerCLI on vCenter
If a Storage Provider ever came to me with such a solution, where I lose VCSA support, that would be a deal-breaker

Ciper for Blast Security Protocol
Hello
I was asked by my security team to block TLS1.0 on 8443 which is blast protocol.
I came cross this article. Configure Security Protocols and Cipher Suites for Blast Secure Gateway (BSG)
I tried but the test keep saying TLS 1.0 is on 8443 is ON.
Any hints, suggestions

vRA8 Cloud Assembly - network gateway
I want to pass the network gateway of a given cloud network to an Ansible playbook, but I'm having difficulties to reference it. What I'm trying to do in the blueprint:
resources:
ans_server1:
type: Cloud.Ansible
properties:
host: '${resource.server1.*}'
osType: linux
account: myansible
username: ansible-remote
privateKeyFile: .ssh/id_rsa_ansible
playbooks:
provision:
- playbooks/config.yml
hostVariables:
hostname: '${resource.server1.resourceName}'
gw: '${resource.Cloud_Network.gateway}'
clustername: '${input.clusterName}'
Cloud_Network:
type: Cloud.vSphere.Network
properties:
networkType: existing
name: cloud1
However, I get null for the gateway in vra_user_host_vars.yml:
{"hostname":"server-04","gw":"null","clustername":"clu1"}
The gateway information is correctly set in the network profile.

Re: Get VM MAC within a script pulling all of the data from the host/guests
That is different code from initially, you now have the Get-NetworkAdapter cmdlet in the pipeline.
Which is inherently better than the method based on the Guest property.
The Guest property only has values when the VMware Tools are installed in the Guest OS and when the VM is powered on, or was recently powered on.
In short:
- data under Guest depends on the VMware Tools and obtains the info from within the Guest OS
- Get-NetworkAdapter obtains the info from outside the VM (the vSphere level)
- the drawback with the outside method is that a Guest OS could overwrite a MAC address

Re: Upgrade vCenter Server 6.0 U3i from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012 R2 Best Practice
Here's your list of priorities:
- Upgrade Horizon View 6.x => at least 7.1.
- Upgrade/migrate vSphere 6.0 => at least 6.5 with the vCSA.
- Throw your Windows-based vCenter box in the trash.

Purple screen after shutdown ESXI 6.0
Hi
We have VMware server who has been running fine.
Today we needed to move the server from one place to another and we shut it down, move it, connected it to new switch at network and power it on.
Everythings seems to be fine until it loads the vmware (yellew screen) then we get purple screen with a error i have attached.
We have run the test from IDAC and everything is fine, all NIC's state is up and running.
The server is stick here and the only thing is to power it off.
The server is DELL PowerEdge R520

Re: Get VM MAC within a script pulling all of the data from the host/guests
LucD Makes sense - so I suspect even through the external method returns the MAC the internal version will not.
Yeah - I understand the difference between to the approaches now - just trying to fulfill the requirement.
Is there a method around that that would within my primary long script to return that same or no?
Thanks!

Re: Purple screen after shutdown ESXI 6.0
I would say open a case but you're officially unsupported right now. That's why you stay on top of patches, updates, and major versions, which, by the way from your build number appears you're using 6.0 U2 which means for the 6.0 version you're quite far behind.

Well, you really can't. You could have a hardware failure at this point. Hard to really tell. That's why you pay for support and use it.
