vSphere Integrated Containers 1.4 – Upgrade 2/3


Hello there, following my series of upgrading vSphere Integration Containers to version 1.4, I'll cover today how to upgrade the vSphere Web Client Plug-in.

Let's start with some housekeeping:
I'm considering you are running vCenter Server Appliance right, who would be using the Windows version these days ?!?!?
  • You already upgraded your VIC appliance to version 1.4;
  • VIC plugin 1.2.x or 1.3.x is already installed on vCenter;
  • The bash shell is enabled on VCSA; (just check it on vCenter's VAMI page)
 
Copy the VIC Engine Bundle file from the new appliance to VCSA;
Engine Bundle can be found on the VIC Getting Start page (https://VIC:9443)

Unpack the binaries from Engine bundle;
Run: tar -zxf vic_1.4.0.tar.gz

Execute the upgrade script;
Run: ../vic/ui/VCSA/upgrade.sh

Once on the VCSA bash shell, set up some environments variables;
Run: export VIC_ADDRESS="VIC_v1.4_IP"
Run: export VIC_BUNDLE="vic_engine_bundle_version"




Provide the vCenter name, the user with privileges to register plugins, If the plugin version you want to upgrade is correct, just hit yes to proceed


The log is provided on the screen during the process;

If everything ran as expected, just restart the web client services for the new version takes place.

Run: service-control --stop vsphere-ui
Run: service-control --stop vsphere-client
Run: service-control --start vsphere-ui
Run: service-control --start vsphere-client

When logging back to vCenter we see the plug-in has been upgraded


Unfortunately, this new plug-in has no new features, but VCH Creation Wizard has gone through some design improvements, collapsing and sorting some information in order to make the deployment more intuitive and easier.


Now we are missing the last piece of it, upgrading Virtual Container Hosts....keep watching.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
