PSA: If you've lost your old ESXi perpetual key by updating to the latest version there is a workaround: Re-installing (not upgrade) the latest version 8.0U3e. Be sure to backup your VMs somewhere else!

Time to upgrade the BMC Firmware & BIOS just before installing the next version of #ESXi in the #homelab #HomeDC.
Thank you #supermicro for releasing updates & patches for motherboards released in 2017

Muss sagen, dass mich schon öfter hängen gelassen hat, als es der olle HyperV und der je getan hätten...

Alle zwei, drei Monate ist der einfach nicht mehr erreichbar und nur ein harter PowerOff bringt Linderung.

Die Frage ist jetzt: Hab ich Bock das zu debuggen oder reiß ich einfach alles ab und bau was anderes dahin?

A Question:

So i saw the #SANS #ransomware video ("Shaking up the Ransomware Game: Introducing Scattered Spider") where they mentioned that visibility into Hypervisors suck and that actors exploit #ESXi like there is no tomorrow. And thought i'd give my own defensive stuff a go.

My q is basically this:

  • Anyone know how to get their own binaries to run on ESXi? I tried my endpoint agent on #ProxMox and it ran just fine (attached pic), but ESXi implicitly prevents (unsigned) binaries from running.

Got to the point of finding esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported which would allow this, but then i had to create my own .vib package to install and there is where everything ended as i have no clue how to get something signed so, i'm asking if any of you guys have had any experience with this.

Kind of hard to make develop stuff for ESXi if you have to sign every release you want to test.

Migration from #ESXi / #VMware to #Proxmox #PVE has been made easier when the "Import Wizard" was introduced last year.

A nice walkthrough can be found here: https://www.storagereview.com/review/esxi-to-pve (from May 15, 2025)

From #VMware to #Proxmox VE: Step-by-Step Escape Plan
#ProxmoxVE has become a popular platform because of its #opensource nature. Using the built-in import tool, they go through the steps for migrating a #virtualmachine from a standalone VMware #ESXi server to Proxmox Virtual Environment.
You can shift workloads with minimal downtime and disruption by following the right preparation steps: verifying compatibility, cleaning up VMware Tools, and configuring import settings.

Bueno, pues parece que ha vuelto una versión gratuita, aunque limitada, de #VMware y su #Esxi 8.
