VCF 9 – How to download files for Installer offline depot and how to download all files with vcf-download-tool


The VCF Download Tool is a handy CLI that makes grabbing and managing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) bits a breeze. You’ll get commands to download, upload, list, and clean up binaries and metadata for your VCF releases, plus easy setup, teardown, and running of the Update Manager Download Service (UMDS). In short, it’s your one-stop utility for getting VCF artifacts ready and keeping them in shape.

Where to start

Prepare correct download token which belongs to Site ID in Broadcom portal, where is valid VCF licences. Otherwise it fails to download. Save the token to txt file in your home directory for example “downloadtoken.txt”. I am doing all the commands on linux machine. For windows follow official KB https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/401373/vcf-download-tool-under-windows-os.html which will guide how to install WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) and you can continue with next step.

Download & Extract the VCF Download tool

I created directory in my home folder called “vcfd” ( “mkdir ~/vcfd“. Then I download the VCF Download tool “vcf-download-tool-9.0.0.0.24703747.tar.gz” from broadcom.com website into the “vcfd” folder. Also I moved my “downloadtoken.txt” into the “/data” folder “mv ~/downloadtoken.txt /data

Extract the tar.gz file

Go to the “vcfd” directory with command “cd ~/vcf” and extract the vcf-download-tool-9.0.0.0.24703747.tar.gz archive.

tar -xf vcf-download-tool-9.0.0.0.24703747.tar.gz

VCF Downlaod Tool CLI usage

to get basic help just run the command “vcf-download-tool” without parameters or with “-h” or “–help”.

./vcf-download-tool -h
*********Welcome to VMware Cloud Foundation Download Tool***********

Version: 9.0.0.0.24703747
Usage:
vcf-download-tool [-hv] [COMMAND]

Description:
The VCF Download Tool is a command-line interface (CLI) utility designed to simplify the management of binaries and metadata for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environments. It provides a suite of
commands for downloading, uploading, listing, and cleaning up binaries, enabling efficient management of software components for VCF releases. The tool also supports the installation,
uninstallation, and execution of the Update Manager Download Service (UMDS). With its comprehensive features, the VCF Download Tool helps streamline the process of preparing, managing, and
maintaining VCF-related artifacts in your environment.

  -h, --help      Displays a help message that provides information about the command and its available options, and then exits the tool.
  -v, --version   Displays the version information of the VCF Download Tool and then exits the tool.

Commands:
  binaries  Management of the binaries files within the system.
  metadata  Management of the metadata files within the system.
  releases  Operations related to the VCF releases.
  umds      Manage the installation and execution of the UMDS (Update Manager Download Service) tool.


More help

pick one of the command “binaries|metadata|releases|umds” and add “-h” at the end. For example:

./vcf-download-tool binaries -h
*********Welcome to VMware Cloud Foundation Download Tool***********

Version: 9.0.0.0.24703747
Usage:
vcf-download-tool binaries [-h] [COMMAND]

Description:
Management of the binaries files within the system.

  -h, --help   Displays a help message that provides information about the command and its available options, and then exits the tool.

Commands:
  download              Download all the necessary files. The command supports filtering to narrow down the selection of binaries based on the customer intent. At least one filter is required. In
                          addition to the binaries, it also downloads all of the needed metadata. However, UMDS binaries are excluded from the download. When executed multiple times with the same
                          output directory, the command’s behavior is cumulative, adding to previously downloaded binaries without overwriting them.
  upload                Uploads the downloaded binaries into the SDDC Manager. In addition to the binaries, it will also upload the necessary metadata, ensuring that all relevant information is
                          properly integrated into the SDDC Manager system. As a prerequisite, the downloaded binaries need to be transferred to the SDDC Manager appliance and the command must be
                          executed from within the SDDC Manager appliance.
  list                  Provides a comprehensive view of all available binaries. Similar to the download binaries command, it supports filtering options to help you narrow down the list based on
                          your specific needs. At least one filter is required. When executed, the command will display detailed information for each binary, including key details such as the
                          component name, version number, release date, size and type. This allows you to quickly assess the contents of the depot, making it easier to identify which binaries are
                          relevant to your requirements before downloading.
  cleanup               This command helps you efficiently manage disk space by removing unwanted or obsolete binaries, while retaining the ones you still need. It ensures that only the selected
                          binaries are deleted, giving you full control over what remains on your system. It is designed to be run on a system where binaries have already been downloaded.
  create-download-spec  Generates a download specification file based on the planned upgrades for a specific domain within the environment. This spec file contains the necessary details to identify
                          which binaries are required for the planned upgrades. Once created, the spec file can be used as an input parameter for the download binaries command, ensuring that only
                          the relevant binaries for the upgrade process are downloaded. The command must be run from within the SDDC Manager appliance, as it relies on the environment's upgrade
                          plan to generate the correct spec file. This streamlines the download process by focusing only on the needed binaries for the upgrade.

There are two independent parts

1) Downlaod VCF files needed for VCF installer offline depot

2) How to download all VCF files with VCF download tool.

1) Download VCF files for VCF Installer

This will download only files needed by VCF installer for offline depot. To download all skip to next chapter 😉

Be aware that it will download all required files for full VCF 9. installation. In my case it requires around 82GB on disk(folder). And my target destination for the downloaded files will be /data folder where is 100GB free space.

Start downloading VCF 9 files.

You need to specify what you want to do (download) , the version, depot download token and destination. Token needs to be in txt for example “downloadtoken.txt”

cd bin
./vcf-download-tool binaries download --vcf-version 9.0.0 --automated-install --depot-download-token-file=/data/downloadtoken.txt --depot-store=/data

 vNIC Speed Management with powershell (PowerCLI)

Managing virtual network interfaces (vNICs) effectively is crucial for VMware administrators who want to optimize their virtual infrastructure. It’s important to note that modifying a VM’s in-guest virtual networking adapter link speed addresses OS or application-level limitations related to the default detected 10Gb speed of the vmxnet3 adapter. However, keep in mind that the actual network speed available to the VM is still limited by the physical hardware components, such as the host CPU and physical NICs.


Introducing the vNIC Link Speed PowerShell Script

I’ve developed a straightforward PowerShell script leveraging VMware’s PowerCLI to automate setting vNIC link speeds for your virtual machines.

How It Works

This script allows you to:

  • Select your virtual machine by name.
  • Choose the desired link speed (10,000 Mbps, 25,000 Mbps, 40,000 Mbps, or 65,000 Mbps). You can modify this script and set the speed between 10,000 Mbs and 65,000 Mbs.
  • Verify the power state of the VM and optionally power it off safely.
  • Automatically apply the new link speed settings to all vNICs of type vmxnet3.
  • Check and confirm the applied settings.

Requirements

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • VMware PowerCLI installed and connected to your vCenter server.
  • Administrative privileges on vCenter and your VMs.

Usage Example

Here’s how easy it is to run the script:

PS> .\vNIC-LinkSpeed.ps1

The script will prompt you to enter the VM name and select your desired link speed from a simple menu. Verify the power state of the VM, prompting you to shut it down if necessary. If you choose not to power off the VM, the script will exit.

script output

In my case I change the link speed for my virtual ESXi.

Why Use This Script?

  • Efficiency: Automates repetitive tasks, saving you valuable time.
  • Reliability: Ensures consistent configuration across all vNICs.
  • Flexibility: Easily adaptable to any environment and extendable for future requirements.

Download and Customize

You can download and customize the script from my GitHub repository https://github.com/musil/vSphere_scripts (direct link to file -> vNIC-LinkSpeed.ps1 ), or copy it directly from this blog post and adapt it according to your specific needs.

How to Quickly Disable a vmnic on ESXi – No Switch Changes or Cable Pulling Needed!

In VMware ESXi, managing physical network interfaces (vmnics) is essential for troubleshooting, maintenance, or reconfiguration. There are times when you need to disable or re-enable a network interface without relying on the network team to shut down a switch port or physically unplugging the cable in the server room. Fortunately, this can be done quickly using the esxcli command-line tool.

Checking Available Network Interfaces

First login via SSH or directly on server console.

Before shutting down a vmnic, it’s good practice to list all available interfaces and check their status:

esxcli network nic list
esxcli network nic list

This command will display a list of vmnics along with their link state, driver, and speed.

Shutting Down a vmnic Interface

To disable a specific vmnic, use the following command:

esxcli network nic down -n vmnicX
esxcli network nic down -n vmnic

Replace vmnicX with the actual interface name (e.g., vmnic5).

Bringing a vmnic Interface Back Up

If you need to enable the interface again, run:

esxcli network nic up -n vmnicX

This will bring the network interface back online.

esxcli network nic up -n vmnic

Use Cases

  • Test network failover scenarios.
  • Identify and isolate network issues by disabling a suspected faulty NIC.
  • Temporarily disable a NIC to measure the impact on network performance and verify load balancing efficiency.
  • Test how virtual machines respond when a specific network path goes down.
  • Shut down a vmnic that is connected to an untrusted VLAN or an incorrectly configured network.
  • Test different network configurations without permanently altering physical connections.

By using esxcli, you can manage network interfaces efficiently.


Let me know if you need any tweaks! 🚀

How to Change vmnic Name on an ESXi Host via Command Line

Renaming or reordering vmnics on an ESXi host can be useful in various scenarios, such as standardizing network configurations or aligning network interface names across multiple hosts. This guide will show you how to achieve this using the ESXi command line.

Listing Current vmnic Aliases

Before making changes, it is essential to check the current vmnic assignments. You can do this with the following command:

localcli --plugin-dir /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/int/ deviceInternal alias list

This command will return a list of all existing vmnic aliases and their corresponding bus addresses.

Bus type  Bus address          Alias
--------  -------------------  -----
pci       m01000300            vmhba0
pci       m01000b00            vmnic0
pci       p0000:00:07.1        vmhba1
pci       m02001300            vmnic1
logical   pci#m01000300#0      vmhba0
logical   pci#p0000:00:07.1#0  vmhba1
logical   pci#p0000:00:07.1#1  vmhba64
logical   pci#m02001300#0      vmnic1
logical   pci#m01000b00#0      vmnic0

When a nic is controlled by a native driver, then there are actually two aliases associated with the device: a pci alias for the pci device and a logical alias for the uplink logical device.

[root@fs-vsan-05:~] localcli --plugin-dir /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/int deviceInternal alias list | grep vmnic1

pci m02001300 vmnic1
logical pci#m02001300#0 vmnic1

When the logical alias is present, then both the pci alias and logical alias need to be renamed !

Changing a vmnic Name

Make sure you have console access before starting the upcoming steps.

To change the name of a specific vmnic, use the following commands. Replace vmnic5 with the desired new alias and update the bus-address accordingly.

localcli --plugin-dir /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/int deviceInternal alias store --bus-type pci --alias vmnic5 --bus-address m02001300

localcli --plugin-dir /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/int deviceInternal alias store --bus-type logical --alias vmnic5 --bus-address pci#m02001300#0

Once the commands have been executed, you need to reboot the ESXi host for the changes to take effect.

reboot

Having Some Fun with vmnic Naming

If you want to experiment and see how ESXi handles long vmnic names, you can try something fun like this:

localcli --plugin-dir /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/int deviceInternal alias store --bus-type pci --alias vmnic1234567890 --bus-address m02001300

localcli --plugin-dir /usr/lib/vmware/esxcli/int deviceInternal alias store --bus-type logical --alias vmnic1234567890 --bus-address pci#m02001300#0

reboot

While ESXi generally follows a strict naming convention, pushing its limits can be an interesting experiment!

Conclusion

Renaming vmnics in ESXi via the command line is a straightforward process that requires just a few commands and a reboot. Whether you’re restructuring network configurations or just having a bit of fun, these steps will help you modify your ESXi network interfaces with ease.

Give Your ESXi Host a Personal Touch with a Custom Welcome Message – the PowerShell way


Ever wanted to spruce up that default login screen on your ESXi host or have some fun with your DCUI? Then you’re in the right place! In this post, I’ll walk through using the Annotations.WelcomeMessage advanced setting to display a custom welcome message on your ESXi host. Best of all, I’ll share a neat PowerShell function to make it easy.

Why Customize the Welcome Message?

  • Personalization: Display a personal greeting, instructions, or a quick reminder for anyone logging into the ESXi console.
  • Useful Info: Share contact details or support info in case someone needs to know who to call if something breaks.
  • Fun Factor: It’s always nice to see something other than “Welcome to VMware ESXi” from time to time at least in homelab.
  • Security: Display security/legal warning.

The Advanced Setting: Annotations.WelcomeMessage

Annotations.WelcomeMessage is an advanced ESXi host parameter. It’s where you store the text you want displayed in DCUI on the default console screen (replacing some default text, similar to screenshot below).

(virtual ESXi)


PowerShell Script: Set-WelcomeMessage Function


Here is the star of the show—my simple PowerShell function that taps into VMware’s PowerCLI to set Annotations.WelcomeMessage on your ESXi host. It even shows you the old message before setting the new one.

You can download it from my GitHub repo in ESXi folder from my GitHub repo: https://github.com/musil/vSphere_scripts or use this direct link to a script file: https://github.com/musil/vSphere_scripts/blob/main/ESXi/set_welcome_message.ps1

Function Set-WelcomeMessage {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
        This function retrieves the vCenter version and build number. 
        Based on https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/315410/

        .DESCRIPTION
        The script is a function that takes a single parameter, the vCenter server name. Retrieves the version and build number. 
        To use the function, you can dot-source the script and then call the function. 
        Windows:   . .\set_welcome_message.ps1
        Mac/Linux: . ./set_welcome_message.ps1
    
        .EXAMPLE
        Set-WelcomeMessage -Hostname "ESXi.example.com" -WelcomeMessage "Welcome to {{hostname}"

    #>
    param (
        [string]$HostName,
        [string]$WelcomeMessage
    )
   
    # Ensure PowerCLI module is imported
    if (-not (Get-Module -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
        Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core
    }`

# Define the target host and the parameter values
$ESXihost = Get-VMHost -Name $HostName
$paramName = "Annotations.WelcomeMessage"

$current = Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $ESXihost -Name $paramName
Write-Host "Current Weclome message:"  $current.Value

# Set the advanced parameter
Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $ESXihost -Name $paramName | Set-AdvancedSetting -Value $WelcomeMessage -Confirm:$false

# Verify the change
$updatedSetting = Get-AdvancedSetting -Entity $ESXihost -Name $paramName
Write-Output "New $paramName value on $ESXihost : $($updatedSetting.Value)"

}

How to Run It

1. Dot-source the script (so the function is recognized):

  • On Windows:
. .\set_welcome_message.ps1
  • On Mac/Linux:
. ./set_welcome_message.ps1

2. Execute the function:

Set-WelcomeMessage -Hostname "ESXi.example.com" -WelcomeMessage "Welcome to my ESXi host!"


3. That’s it! Now when you check the DCUI over iDRAC/IPMI/iLO etc.. or on directly on console screen, you’ll see your brand-new custom text.

Change it back to default

just set empty parameter 🙂

Set-WelcomeMessage -Hostname "ESXi.example.com" -WelcomeMessage ""

Final Thoughts

Customizing your ESXi’s welcome message is quick, easy, and surprisingly fun. Whether you’re adding a helpful notice or just a silly greeting, a personal touch goes a long way. Give it a try, and see if your team notices!


Happy customizing!

Manual way

Advanced Examples

To get much awesome welcome message you need to use much complicated formating tags.

Welcome DCUI screen from my homelab:

My Homelab Welcome Message

To make it more easy I just “save” all the parameters of the welcome message into the variable $a.

And then just run the same command and instead of welcome message I used the $a variable

Set-WelcomeMessage -Hostname "fs-vsan-05.int.dc5.cz" -WelcomeMessage $a

Happy experimenting with different colors 🙂

Easily Identify Your vCenter Version and Update Needs with PowerShell (Get-vCenterVersion)

If you are working with VMware environments, particularly with vCenter Server, it’s important to keep track of the version and build number of your vCenter instances. This script/function, Get-vCenterVersion, is designed to help you retrieve these details effortlessly. Here, we’ll break down my script, explaining each section, and provide examples of how to use it.

Overview of the Script

The Get-vCenterVersion function is a PowerShell script that retrieves the version and build number of a specified vCenter Server. It compares the build number against a predefined mapping to provide detailed information about the vCenter version, release date, and other associated details. This can be extremely useful for maintaining and upgrading your VMware infrastructure.

You can find the full script linked at the end of this article. 🙂

Sections of the Script

  1. Script Header and Metadata
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
    This function retrieves the vCenter version and build number. 
    Based on https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=2143838

    .NOTES
    File Name      : get-vcenter-version.ps1
    Author         : Stanislav Musil
    Prerequisite   : PowerShell

    .DESCRIPTION
    The script is a function that takes a single parameter, the vCenter server name. Retrieves the version and build number. 
    To use the function, you can dot-source the script and then call the function. 
    Windows:   . .\get-vcenter-version.ps1
    Mac/Linux: . ./get-vcenter-version.ps1

    .EXAMPLE
    Get-vCenterVersion -vCenterServer "vCenter.DC5.cz"
    or
    Get-vCenterVersion
#>

This section provides a summary of what the script does, including the author’s information, and usage instructions. It also includes an example of how to invoke the function. This is a standard way to document PowerShell scripts and makes it easier for others to understand and use your script.

  1. Parameter Declaration
Param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Util10.VersionedObjectImpl]$vCenterServer
)

Here, the script defines a parameter $vCenterServer, which is not mandatory. If the user does not provide a value, the script will use the default vCenter Server from the global environment variable $global:DefaultVIServer.

  1. vCenter Version Mappings
$vCenterVersionMappings = @{
    "24026615"="vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3r","17.06.2024","7.0.3.02000","24026615","24026615"
    "23788036"="vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3q","21.05.2024","7.0.3.01900","23788036","23788036"
    ...
}

This dictionary (hashtable) contains a mapping of vCenter Server build numbers to their corresponding versions, release dates, and other details. This is the core of the script, enabling it to look up detailed information based on the build number.

  1. Retrieving and Matching vCenter Build and Version
$vCenterServerVersion = $vCenterServer.Version
$vCenterServerBuild = $vCenterServer.Build
$vCenterVersion,$vCenterReleaseDate,$vCenterVersionFull,$vCenterReleaseDate,$vCenterMobVersion = "Unknown","Unknown","Unknown","Unknown","Unknown"
$vCenterName = $vCenterServer.Name

The script retrieves the version and build number from the provided or default vCenter Server. If the build number exists in the predefined mappings, the script retrieves the corresponding details.

  1. Outputting the Information
$out = [pscustomobject] @{
    vCenter_Name = $vCenterName;
    vCenter_Build = $vCenterServerBuild;
    vCenter_ReleaseName = $vCenterServerVersion;
    vCenter_MOB = $vCenterMobVersion;
    vCenter_VAMI = $VAMI;
    vCenter_Version_Full = $vCenterVersionFull;
    Release_Date = $vCenterReleaseDate;
}
$out

The script constructs a custom PowerShell object to output the details in a structured format. This makes it easy to further process or display the information.

  1. Upgrade Check
if ($vCenterServerBuild -lt $greatestKey) {
    Write-Host "vCenter upgrade possible. `n" -ForegroundColor Red
} elseif ($vCenterServerBuild -eq $greatestKey) {
    Write-Host "Latest version/ up to date. `n" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
    Write-Host "Update this script, looks like it's outdated. `n"  -ForegroundColor Magenta
}

Finally, the script compares the retrieved build number with the highest build number in the mapping to determine if an upgrade is available, if the system is up to date, or if the script itself needs updating.

Example Usage

Example 1: Retrieve vCenter Version with Default Server

If you are already connected to a vCenter Server and set it as the default ($global:DefaultVIServer), you can simply run:

Get-vCenterVersion

Example 2: Specify a vCenter Server

To retrieve the version for a specific vCenter Server, provide the server’s name:

Get-vCenterVersion -vCenterServer "vCenter.DC5.cz"

This will output detailed information about the vCenter Server, including its version, build number, and release date. If the vCenter Server is not on the latest version, the script will suggest that an upgrade is possible.

My homelab:

Conclusion

The Get-vCenterVersion script is a powercli function for anyone managing VMware vCenter Servers. By automating the retrieval and checking of vCenter versions, it helps ensure that your infrastructure is always up to date and secure. Whether you’re managing a single vCenter Server or multiple instances, this script can save you time and reduce the risk of version mismatches.

Feel free to customize the script to fit your environment, and remember to keep the version mapping updated as new vCenter Server versions are released!
