How to configure vswitch security policy using the API?

Hello world

Does anyone know how to set up a vswitch on ESXi Server security policy by using the management API (the idea is to do this in a script)?

I think specifically the macchange and forgedxmit parameters which are set to true by default, and I want to change false.  Note that I also need a way to control the value from a script.

I used to do with vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy-securepolicy-macchange = false vSwitchn and vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy-securepolicy-forgedxmit = false vSwitchn in the ESX 3.x service console, but I'll try (unsuccessfully so far) to find an equivalent using RCLI or Powershell (I don't want to enable ssh on my ESXi and use vim - cmd as I want to be able to do remote securely.

Ideally, it would work while the host is in active locking mode (so I only need to authenticate on my server vCenter).

Advice would be appreciated.

See you soon,.

To update the security policy, you will need to watch the HostNetworkSecurityPolicy : http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.NetworkPolicy.SecurityPolicy.html#allowPromiscuous

You'll want to access the vSwitch you are interested using the following:

[hostSystem->-> networkSystem configManager - >-> vSwitch networkConfig]

Once the reference to the vSwitch, you'll want to create HostVirtualSwitchConfig spec: changes to http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.VirtualSwitch.Config.html or policies make-> security which will contain (allowPromiscuous, forgedTransmits, macChanges) for changes that are just Boolean parameters.

  • How can we add lines by using the APIs in the Apex?

    Hi all

    In my application, I created the elements of text using the API like this:

    HTP.p ('< tr >');
    HTP.p ("< td width = 80px align =" center"> < b > ');
    HTP.p ("font color =" black"> ');
    HTP.p (APEX_ITEM. Text(1,c.empno,10,30,"','','"f01_'|| j||'"'));
    HTP.p ("< /b > < table > '");

    Now, I need to add a line button when you click on to insert a new row so that it can enter data...

    How do I do this?

    Thank you
    David...

    David,

    If the EMPNO is your primary key column, it cannot be changed. The update process identifies the line updated by EMPNO. If you want to allow users to change the EMPNO value, you will need to add another column to your tabular form that is used to store the primary key. In general, the primary key values must be meaningless, should not be exposed to the end user and only used for internal processing.

    Kind regards

  • How to read and write attributes using the API?

    I'm trying attributes of access (read and write) of the following:

    SequenceFile

    Sequence

    The sequence steps

    When you look at the documentation of the API, TestStand, the following functions are available:

    PropertyObject

    Properties

    Attributes (read-only)

    HasAttributes (read-only)

    Methods

    DisplayAttributesDialog

    I tried to use the SetValString and GetValString commands using the reference of the attributes, but it does not seem that the data is stored in the file.

    I can't find the following information in the TestStand API:

    1. Where the attributes are stored in a property object?

    2. How can we access through the API?

    No advice and no information is appreciated!

    You must increment the number of changes to the file after that editing the sequence editor (or UI) won't refresh or mark the file, as amended. Use sequenceFile.AsPropertyObjectFile (). IncChangeCount().

    SequenceFile attributes are stored in the SequenceFile.Data, not the object of SequenceFile object. You can change them in the Advanced tab of the properties of the file sequence dialog box.

    Hope this helps,

  • How to configure PXI-8464 to use the channel API

    I have a PXI-8464, but I don't know how to set up so that I can access block API of ways.

    Normally, I can choose the NPC channel by selecting "CAN0". For example, I can do it to the MAX:

    Then I can, just select "CAN0" in VI:

    However, on my remote system, it looks like this to the MAX:

    Notice how there is no "CAN1" or anything like that. Therefore, in the VI, it has a long list of channels CAN, but none of them can be used to connect to my channel PXI-8464.

    How do I get my CAN map to work? Thank you.

  • URG: How can I force APEX to use the specific schema: spaces of work APEX_040100 or entitled to another schema?

    Hi all

    Here's the scenario:

    1. My computer crashed. were to return to complete export (expdp 11.2.x to impdp 12 c). successfully done.
    2. Configured ADR blah blah... can access the admin of the apex.
    3. Problem is: administration interface does not SEE my workspaces apex Apex (only the workspace IN-HOUSE).
    4. After investigation it seems that APEX (after the upgrade) is somehow configured / run with: schema APEX_040200 and not

    APEX_040100 (as I have improved Apex in the old database versions).


    5. If I'm running the following:

    ALTER session set current_schema = APEX_040100;

    Select short_name, display_name

    of wwv_flow_companies

    where source_identifier is not null;


    I SEE all my beloved workspaces.

    6 my questions:

    a. How can I force APEX to use the specific schema: APEX_040100 instead of APEX_040200?

    b. or are there other alternatives to assign these workspaces in the current environment?

    Hello Brad,

    Thank you for your response. Appreciated.

    • Yet, as I had a little corrupted environment Apex after import (impdp), COMPREHENSIVE database this method of revocation (above) has failed several times to me.
    • Here's what I have (solves the problem):
    • Deleted APEX_040200 Apex 4.2 installation().
    • Text left in DB is the only APEX_040100
    • Then, the version 5.0.3 and it worked!

    More importantly, after the installation of APEX, all workspaces, users, etc. are automatically correctly resided in APEX.
    • I think that if you have only 1 version of apex corrupted in DB. It should work as well. Remove again, schema using the above script (check version) with caution (after backup, etc.).

    Kind regards

  • How can I get Mozilla to use the name of the page for the name of the real instead of the URL bookmark when I bookmark a page

    I just noticed that (in comparison to Internet Explorer): in IE, when you preferred a Web page, it uses the actual name of the Web page (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the name of the bookmark), but in Mozilla, it uses the URL as the name of the bookmark. I was wondering if it was possible to change my Mozilla settings so that it uses the name of the Web page as the bookmark name instead of the URL? I hope that everyone understands what I am getting? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
