In this video I’m going to show you HOW TO: Update the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 7.0 ARM Edition (ESXi 7.0 ARM edition) from v1.12 Build 7.0.0-1.12.21447677to v1.15 Build 22949429 on a Raspberry Pi 4, the method used is based on this article and video
The Sychronous Excepetion at 0x0000000037101434 in the UEFI BOOT Firmware v1.34 is still an issue today, which has not been fixed. These are messages received on Twitter from the Engineers which have worked on ESXi ARM. v1.35 is the latest UEFI firmware available from here

“yeah this is a long-standing SD card corruption bug ????… never quite identified, maybe some command needs ti be done on the way out to flush internal card buffers before the loss of power?”
Cyprien Laplace (@cypou)
I think you only need to replace the “RPI_EFI.fd” file from the boot partition. I forgot this bug existed, as all my Pis download the UEFI files using tftp.
(thus no corruption possible, but no change can be saved either)
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Deploy and Configure Zerto to migrate workloads between Cloud and On-Prem VMware vSphere infrastructure with limited downtime.
Zerto is a commercial application which offers continuous data protection. It’s available as a trail and download here
It offers far better data protection than VMware Converter which has been discussed in this video, it does not have any issues in synchronising and replicating workloads based on UEFI Secure Boot Windows Servers.
This video is based on an article I wrote for Experts Exchange over 10 years ago. So join me for hints and tips of how we create a P2V migration to VMware vSphere. In this video I will show you how we can make changes on the source, and these will be replicated to the destination virtual machine, using the Synchronize option, later we will “cutover” workloads from the source to destination, with limited impact on service.
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Synchronize changes when completing a P2V or V2V with VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 6.4.

In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Add a VMware vSphere vSAN license to a VMware vSphere vSAN Cluster.
The storage devices we are using in this video are the Intel® Optane™ SSD DC P4800X Series 375GB, 2.5in PCIe x4, 3D XPoint™, but this procedure can be use to add any compatible storage devices in ESXi to a vSAN datastore.
This video follows on from the follow video in this series
If you are creating a design for VMware vSphere vSAN for a Production environment, please ensure you read the VMware Cloud Foundation Design Guide 01 JUN 2023 – this should be regarded as The Bible!
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Perform storage performance tests on VMware vSphere vSAN, using the VMware Hyper-converged Infrastructure Benchmark fling (HCIBench).
HCIBench is a storage performance testing automation tool that simplifies and accelerates customer Proof of Concept (POC) performance testing in a consistent and controlled way. VMware vSAN Community Forum provides support for HCIBench.

In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Create, Configure and Deploy VMware vSphere vCenter Server 7.0 High Availability (VCHA).
VMware vCenter Server High Availability (HA) protects vCenter Server against host and hardware failures. The active-passive architecture of the solution can also help you reduce downtime significantly when you patch vCenter Server. It is included as a free function within vCenter Server, no additional licensing is required for the additional Passive and Witness nodes.
vCenter Server HA does require an isolated “cluster heartbeat network”, as demonstrated in this video
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Create a new Distributed and VMKernel Portgroups on a VMware vSphere Distributed Switch for the vSphere Cluster for use with vCenter Server HA.
I created a video here, which shows you how to create a vDS for VMware vSphere.
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Use the vCenter Server 7.0.3 vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) to backup the database and configuration of your vCenter Server.
It is important once you have created a vDS to ensure you keep regular backups, if the need arises you need to restore vCenter Server.
I created a video here, which shows you how to create a vDS for VMware vSphere.
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Correctly configure physical uplinks for teaming and failover on a VMware vSphere Distributed Switch vDS.
I created a video here, which shows you how to create a vDS for VMware vSphere.
In this video presentation which is part of the Hancock’s VMware Half Hour HOW TO Video Series I will show you HOW TO: Export and Backup the VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) configuration of a VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS).
