A quick post about a small change that I noticed in the VCF 4.3 release. The SDDC Manager command line history (a.k.a. Arrow up) seems not to work anymore in this version. Apparently, this is due to the fact that VCF Engineering has hardened the SDDC Manager security. Enable SDDC Manager command line history There are two ways to enable the command: Temporarily, run: # set -o history Permanently, remove or rename the disable.history.sh file […]
Following up from the previous post on how to deploy a multi-NIC / multi-vDS workload domain in VMware Cloud Foundation, this article will show you how to add a host to multi-nNIC / multi-vDS workload domain using API. The reason for using the API is because at the time of this writing, VCF does not support doing it via UI. This procedure is based on the example scenario from my previous post. Prerequisites Before you […]
In the current release of VMware Cloud Foundation (4.3.x), if you want to create a VI workload domain with more than one vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) or use ESXi hosts with more than two physical NICs, you must use the VMware Cloud Foundation API functionality to achieve this. Example Scenario Consider the following scenario that is based on one of the options that you choose when deploying the management workload domain during the VCF bring-up. […]

Automated deployment of vRealize Suite is back in VMware Cloud Foundation 4.1! The biggest difference with previous VCF version (3.x) is that the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) is now “VCF Aware”. So, what does that exactly mean? Once the vRSLCM is deployed from the SDDC Manager, that instance will be VCF aware meaning that it is able to exchange the information with the SDDC Manager. For example, software bundles downloaded on the SDDC Manager […]
