govcsim – Neat incubation project (vCenter Server & ESXi API based simulator)
I know many of my readers have inquired about VCSIM (vCenter Server Simulator) which was a really useful tool that served a variety of use cases, but unfortunately it had stopped working with the VCSA 6.0 release. VCSIM is another topic that is near and dear to me and it is something I continue to push and advocate for internally at VMware. Earlier this week, I came to learn about a cool new incubation project that Doug MacEachern had been working on for some time now. Doug is an awesome VMware developer working on the vSphere Integrated Containers (vIC) project and he is also well known for his active contributions to both govmomi (vSphere SDK for Go) and govc CLI.

Below is the layout we’re going to use as a typical layout with Internet-facing EMR Patient Portal for customers using traditional methods.

Hence, in this article, I will document 5 must-know packet capture techniques to troubleshoot NSX with the tool.
