Changing ESXi Hostname on an EVO:RAIL Appliance
The other day I did a VSPEX Blue (EMC’s flavor of EVO:RAIL Appliance) install for a customer that couldn’t conform to the hostname standards set forth by the EVO:RAIL Installation Wizard. After a little bit of digging and work I was able to change the hostnames and get everything working like it came from the factory. You simply cannot just change the ESXi hostname, you also need to modify EVO:RAIL Manager so things like health reporting actually function. So, how do we do this? First a quick…Read More

Manually removing a user entitlement from the Adam database in VMware View
Came across an interesting issue where we were unable to remove user entitlements from the VMware View connection server. Was able to resolve the issue by manually removing the user from the adam database. The probable cause of the issue is due to replication failures between the connection servers. To manually remove user entitlements and the user account from the connection broker follow the below instructions: NOTE: Editing the Adam database is quite risky and can lead to rebuilding the…Read More

View 6.2.1. Upgrade, two caveats
Recently, I was performing an upgrade from View version 6.0.1 to 6.2.1. On other occasions upgrades from version 6.0.1 to 6.2.0 did not cause serious issues.
