Quick Tip - HTTPs now supported with wget on ESXi 7.0

06.18.2020 by William Lam // 4 Comments

This morning I needed to install the USB Network Native Driver Fling for ESXi and realized that offline bundles can not be installer over a remote URL. I figure I would download it directly to my ESXi host using wget. As soon as I hit the enter key to send the command I quickly remember that this will fail as the version of wget in the ESXi Shell does not support HTTPs. To my surprise, it actually worked! 😍

[root@nuc:~] wget https://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/USBNND/ESXi700-VMKUSB-NIC-FLING-34491022-component-15873236.zip Connecting to download3.vmware.com (184.29.106.37:443) ESXi700-VMKUSB-NIC-F 100% |**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************| 341k 0:00:00 ETA

This looks to be an enhancement in ESXI 7.0 and you no longer will get the "bad address" error when specifying an HTTPs URL as shown in the example below when running against the latest ESXi 6.7 Update 3 release.

Thank you to the Engineer who fixed this, this was a very pleasant and welcome surprise that I know will also be helpful to folks who automate using ESXi Scripted Installations.

Found a solution in on this page: https://infiniteloop.io/esxi-6-7-synology-nfs-vaai-plug-in/

run this command first then wget will work. esxcli network firewall ruleset set --enabled=true --ruleset-id=httpClient

Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 network interfaces won't keep static IP

I'm using VMware with Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 LTS VM.

I have two network interfaces connected to the VM; the first one ens33 is connected to NAT and provides the internet connection to the server. The second one, ens34, is a network interface that is supposed to be used to connect other machines to the server.

Now, I'm trying to set up static IP for the interfaces. I have edited via sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and added

The problem is that when rebooting the server it applies random IP addresses and not the one I've chosen in the file.

If I run the command sudo ifdown --force ens33 to switch off the interfaces I got the messages

But when I run sudo ifup ens33 I have no error and with ifconfig I can see my network card ens33 having the right IP I've assigned at the beginning

What am I missing?

PS the goal to assign static IPs to the interfaces is that I would like to connect another VM to my server and share the internet connection of the server with the VM/s connected

Cloud Proxies becoming dysfunctional after upgrading to vRealize Operations 8.10 (90532)

  • After upgrading to vRealize Operations 8.10 Cloud Proxy not completing the upgrade.
  • On Cloud Proxy, the command service httpd-north status  shows that it failed to start with an error similar to:

While running custom adapters in containers, there were changes in /etc/httpd-north/httpd.conf to listen 172.17.0.1, which is docker's default gateway in case of a bridged network.  

This issue is resolved in vRealize Operations 8.10.1 and later available at VMware Downloads .

In case of the mentioned issues with the mentioned symptoms, as a workaround, via ifconfig command should be checked the docker's gateway. Example :  docker0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 07:12:ba:7e:2f:59 inet addr:172.18.0.1 Bcast:172.18.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

After, in /etc/httpd-north/httpd.conf file change all 172.17.0.1 appearances to 172.18.0.1 (IP shown in if config ) and restart httpd-north service, i.e. service httpd-north restart . Note : In case of a CP reboot, the mentioned manual changes will be reverted, so there will be a need to repeat the workaround.

Under certain conditions, you might be unable to assign a license to an ESXi host.

You try to assign a license to an ESXi host, but you cannot perform the operation and you receive an error message.

You might be unable to assign a license to an ESXi host because of the following reasons:

The calculated license usage for the host exceeds the license capacity. For example, you have a vSphere license key with capacity for two CPUs. You try to assign the key to a host that has four CPUs. You cannot assign the license, because the required license usage for the host is greater than the license capacity.

The features on the host do not match the license edition. For example, you might configure hosts with vSphere Distributed Switch and vSphere DRS while in evaluation mode. Later, you try to assign vSphere Standard license to the hosts. This operation fails because the vSphere Standard edition does not include vSphere Distributed Switch and vSphere DRS.

The host is connected to a vCenter Server system that is assigned a license that restricts the edition of the license that you want to assign.

Assign a license with larger capacity.

Upgrade the license edition to match the resources and features on the host, or deactivate the features that do not match the license edition.

Assign a vSphere license whose edition is compatible with the license edition of vCenter Server.
