Update vCenter Server Appliance 6.0.0 U1 to U1b via Webinterface

In my article http://blog.ganser.com/975 I described the update from the first version of vCenter Server Appliance 6 to the Update 1. The update needs to connect an ISO image and CLI commands to be installed.

In vCenter Server Appliance you could go the same way or update via Webinterface.

On January 22nd VMware Release Notes added a hint, what to do if the installer stuck at 70%. Read more at the end of my install steps.

Automate Let’s Encrypt Certificate renew and deployment to KEMP LoadBalancer

Since December 3rd Let’s Encrypt is in Public Beta. I’m testing and using Let’s Encrypt for my virtual services in my homelab. Let’s Encrypt creates certificates with a lifetime of 90 days. Some of you will say: UH! that’s not pretty long.

The check and renew process could be used for many solutions, not only to deploy to KEMP VLM.

In the free community version of VLM you get 20Mbps throughput which would be enough for homelabs and testing in production.

It was easy to install the appliance and the initial configuration was done in minutes. In the next days I will post how to add virtual services and content switching.

*FIXED* – ESXi 6.0 and 6.0 U1 – CBT Bug creates inconsistent incremental VM backups

VMware acknowledged a known issue (KB2136854) within ESXi 6.0 and 6.0 U1. CBT looses the information of I/Os during snapshot consolidation. The main backup isn’t affected but all data written during the consolidation task are missed.

ALL CBT incremental backups are potentially affected.

VMware currently has no resolution.

Update 25.11.2015:

VMware released a patch for the CBT bug.
