Hi Friends, We had a issue last day due a miss configuration. We used to keep our vCenters on ephemeral port groups for troubleshooting purposes in case of any issue. We have a new vCenter now and as per standards our project team put that on a portgroup which was named as "ephemeral", but it was quiet late we found it was not actually setup as an ephemeral port group, but static instead :(. So issue was a config issue, but I wanted to share how we solved it hopping it might help someone in other situations too. The story is like this.  We planned to test an outage situation, by bringing down vCenter, to test if our VRA pre-build check can identify it. One of our lazy engineers went to Web Client of the ESXi server hosting vCenter and decided to turn the NIC off for the test. He received below error while turning it back on Description :- Reconfigure this virtual machine Virtual machine :- Non-PROD_vCenter State -: Failed - Invalid configuration for device '3

Project -: Horizon View - How to get a report of the max concurrent connections / day Horizon View Version -: 7.10 As many of you know , Horizon View is missing a native reporting feature. Those who are interested, you can try Horizon Toolbox Fling at the link below, which would give you some additional features https://flings.vmware.com/horizon-toolbox-2 This includes a graph of max concurrent connections / day, which is very interesting. It wasn't quiet what I was looking for as I needed numbers and it was hard to get it from the graph when you chose a higher time frame from the dropdown here. When I used this fling, it was asking for credentials to connect to View Event DB. So what's positive is the data I am looking for is somewhere there in the MS SQL DB :) Did a google search and ended up in the KB below https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2089816 I was really happy, but that didn't last for long. This KB is not applicable for View 7.X. I gave i
