Today I created few super metrics on vRealize Operation Manager 6.0 to calculate throughput of physical links on ESXi host. The super metrics just present to part of the selected hosts. I guess it’s some kind of minor bug. A reboot of vROps vApp can works around it. Just heads up.
How to Remove Default Dashboards in vRealize Operation Manager
I don’t know why VMware doesn’t allow hidden default dashboards in VMware design vRealize Operation Manager (vROps). They also states no solution in current version. I searched internet, only thing I found was a community post that someone wants to delete the dashboards, but no proper answer.
Windows Server 2016 技术预览3内核模式 – 远程管理技巧
微软刚刚发布了Windows Server 2016的技术预览3。新版本中有很多增强，看起来微软的软件定义的数据中心正在赶上VMware。一个稳定的虚拟层是软件定义数据中心的前提，但这是微 软的软肋。你不得不不停地打各种补丁和重启服务器，甚至有些企业有定期的重启计划。微软在Windows Server 2008 的时候引入了核心模式并且在Windows Server 2012 R2中得到增强。但是Windows Server 2012 R2瞄准的是中小企业市场，我不认为他们会使用核心模式，因为复杂度要提升很多。
How to retrieve or set Path Selection Policy by vCLI
First of all, this article is nothing related to PowerCLI. You probably know how to set Path Selection Policy (PSP) by vSphere Client, but how you can set up 100 LUNs manually? We have some script can make your life easy.
如何使用vCLI获取或设定路径选择策略

How to call customized vRealize Orchestrator workflows in vRealize Automation Center
You almost can do everything as long as vRealize Automation Center (aka vRA) and vRealize Orchestrator (aka vRO) are integrated. I think that’s the hard part if you are newbie like me. After reading lot of articles, I learned how it works. Following is my experience, please let me know if you see anything wrong.
把vRA和vRO结合在一起几乎可以做任何事情。如果你和我一样是新手，和uijuede 得整合这块比较难，最近阅读了一些这方面的文章，算是有所了解了。以下是我的见解，如果有问题留言给我。
How to Get Path Selection Policy of Physical RDM LUN by PowerCLI
It’s frustration to check RDM information, you have to check across all ESXi hosts to make sure configuration is aligned. I just figured out two line commands to get path selection policy (aka PSP).
Core mode of Windows Server 2016 TP3 – Remote Management Tip
Microsoft just released technical preview 3 of Windows Server 2016, it’s catching up VMware on SDDC. I can see a lot of enhancement in the new version. A stable hypervisor is prerequisite of SDDC but it’s weakness of Microsoft. You have to patch and reboot frequently, some organizations even have regular reboot schedules. Microsoft introduced core mode on Windows Server 2008, it much enhanced on Windows Server 2012 R2. But Windows Server 2012 R2 aims to SBM. I didn’t think SBM organizations really need that if you compare operation complexity of core mode with GUI.
