Tools
Just a collection of links to some system administration tools (mostly free) that I find useful. Primarily so I can find them when I need them but hopefully you will find them useful also.
Know of a great tool that is not listed here? Drop me a note in the comments.
VM Reporting/Administration
RVTools<-AWESOME TOOL!
Awesome tool to collect, display, and export information about a VMware vSphere environment.
Many thanks and a big fan of some of the scripts with the Simplivity stuff. Have used several as well as a few minor tweeks to the backup copy, just for better feedback:
New Backup Id is: dde4f29f-18f4-4558-8b94-c4f62501de14
Setting Retention Time on Copied Backup to 36681 Minutes from 05/26/2021 10:39:15
Backup # 86 of total of 500 on this run.

Backup 2021-05-09T22:00:00-05:00 for WIWRMS-CTXAD01 copied to WRM-Gen10 – Completed Successfully
as well as a email it sends out at the completion.
Question – Have you ever come up with anything that would work for migrating the backups to a different federation? With consolidation and changes, sometimes we have had to rebuild and move to a new vcenter. Would be fast than to just let them age out. Been looking but unlikely to find something, but also didn’t know about the Cross Vcenter Migration Tool, so figured I would specifically ask 🙂 Thanks again.
Howdy Howdy–
