How to Prepare for Your VCP6 Exam
For many, VCP training and examinations can be a complex, nerve-racking process that often leads to the question, “Where do I start?” If you find yourself already asking this question, you came to the right blog! I will outline my recent experience, which will guide you through your VCP6 in the most efficient and effective way possible.
Recently I had a strange problem. Power off VM’s would not power on, and would give this generic error.
I found KB 1006232 and was able to power on the VM by command line, but I was still not able to power them on by directly connecting to the host through the C client. Or using vCenter through the web and C client. I tried a lot of things, but in the end restarting the vCenter server fixed everything.

EMC and VMware introduce VxRail, a new hyper-converged appliance
Advertise here with BSA As most of you know I’ve been involved in Virtual SAN in some shape or form since the very first release. Reason I was very excited about Virtual SAN is because I felt it would provide anyone the ability to develop a hyper-converged offering. Many VMware partners have already done this, and with the VSAN […] ” EMC and VMware introduce VxRail, a new hyper-converged appliance ” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com .

I was recently built up a new Cluster of 3 host with a Distributed Switch. I had created my Management and vMotion groups with no issues, but when I created the server port group it did not show up under hosts. The VM’s were already built and working on the network, and I only noticed this issue when I tried to vMotion one of the VM’s to another host.
To fix the issue I had to create a new port group for that vlan and migrate the VM’s over to it. I then deleted the old port group, and renamed the new one to the old ones name. I have no idea why this happened my only guess is that I hit some really weird bug.
Under vCenter go to the Host > Configuration > Storage > Devices
Then look for a datastore that has a few partitions such as Legacy MBR and VMware Diagnostic. That should be where you ESX is booting from.
