Не надо апгрейдить HW vCenter

A recent major support issue for the vCenter engineering team, which looked like an issue with the Likewise functionality for Active Directory connectivity, was caused by the customer upgrading their VCSA to VM Hardware v14. That upgrade is unsupported.

When upgrading virtual hardware, consider these points:
Modification of the virtual hardware version on the vCenter Server Appliance is not supported. Likewise you should not manually install any additional version of VMware Tools inside the guest OS of the vCenter Server Appliance.

While the upgrade of VM hardware is supported for all your VMs, you should know that there is one exception—the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) itself.


You can't upgrade VM hardware on VCSA or even update VMware Tools on the appliance. It is not supported by VMware. All you can do is set a file-level backup schedule and check for updates from time to time. VCSA is a key component of the VMware infrastructure, so they don't want us to make any changes to this key management component.

НЕ НАДО АПГРЕЙДИТЬ VM hardware vCenter!

Esxtop выводит странные символы

Esxtop выводит странные символы, вместо нормальной картинки
Если быть точным, то Esxtop выводит CSV

Output of esxtop defaults to non-interactive CSV with unknown TermInfo (2001448)

For example:

"(CSV) (UTC)(0)","\\localhost\Memory\Memory Overcommit (1 Minute Avg)","\\localhost\Memory\Memory Overcommit (5 Minute Avg)","\\localhost\Memory\Memory Overcommit (15 Minute Avg)","\\localhost\Physical Cpu Load\Cpu Load (1 Minute Avg)","\\localhost\Physical Cpu Load\Cpu Load (5 Minute Avg)", ...

The first line of the comma-separated-value (CSV) output from esxtop and resxtop reports a missing termcap entry.
