VMWare misc notes

How to enable SNMP:

esxcli system snmp set --communities public

esxcli system snmp set --enable true

esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --allowed-all true

esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id snmp --enabled true

/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

Bare minimum notes to restore/repair a VMWare config that's lost its mind:

vh1:

- set pwd, IP, turn off ipv6 and reboot, etc.

- reassign proper license MJ61J-0N3EJ-28L8N-0H900-91K4J

- reregister nfs datastores

192.168.1.54 /volume1/ca-2016-srv_D and /volume1/vmbackups

- reregister VMs

- enable autostart for all VMs (manage -> System -> autostart -> edit settings -> enabled = yes, then select each VM and enable, set order to CA then QB then graf then APC)

- config NTP (manage -> system -> Time & date -> edit settings, put in time.apple.com, start and stop with host, then actions -> start service)

- enable ssh (manage -> services -> search ssh, actions -> policy -> start and stop with host)

vcenter:

- reconnect, ignore pissy warnings about certs

- add 2nd NIC to virtual switch
