![Change location of VMware ESXi System Logs to local or remote datastore - logo][1]

Today I would like to show you how to change or setup location of VMware ESXi System Logs to local or remote datastore.

In my previous post vCenter Server 6.* Upgrade I described process of upgrading vCenter Server 6.*. Right after upgrade I noticed that I can’t connect to vCenter Server using vSphere Web Client. It was a bit odd behaviour but I wanted to fix it.

Even if you are running lab environment vSphere upgrades still have to be done. Same in my case. I wanted to upgraded my environment from vCenter Server 6.0.0 build 2559268 to vCenter Server 6.0 U1b build 3343019.

In earlier post How to replace VMware ESXi 6.* SSL certificateI described how to replace VMware ESXi 6.* SSL certificate. This post will focus on replacing SSL certificates with Custom VMCA in vCenter Server 6.* on Windows.

Certificates are very common in our daily life. Starting from logging to your banking account, checking email or simply visiting social media, we use secure communication. One of ingredients of it are certificates. I will not describe you in details how do we use them - if you are reading this most likely you know what you are doing.

Today blog post How to replace VMware ESXi 6. SSL certificate* will describe you how to replace SSL certificates on ESXi hosts.

In my earlier post How to reset root password in vRealize Orchestrator I showed you how to reset root password in VMware Appliance - vRealize Orchestrator. Fortunately and unfortunately for us we see more and more products shipped as Appliances. I will show you how to secure your Appliances with few simple steps.

Working as a Consultant has extremely advantages - you meet different customers, you face challenges you wouldn’t be able to find in your own environment or in you home lab. Yesterday I was asked by my colleague to take a closer look on two vRealize Orchestrator appliances - we were not able to login via ssh as root user any more. I will show you how to reset root password in vRealize Orchestrator in just a few steps.
