@mc1903 Please send me a mail

@rvtools Hi Rob, I am getting this error trying to connect to a vCenter 7.0.3 from RVT 4.4.3. I can connect to vCenter via a browser and via PowerCLI from same machine. Any thoughts? What network ports does RVT require? Cheers. M

Great to be #VMware #vExpert again for the 13th consecutive year! Congrats to all 2023 vExperts.

RVTools version 4.4.1 is now available for download.

@v2Mike Added to my must-have-a-look-at-this list

@rvtools Love the tool and loooong time user. Curious if you have a way to collect the Name of a port group backed by NSX rather than reporting "nsx.LogicalSwitch: long-guid-id" at least within the vInfo tab.

@mc1903 FT role is not (yet) in export. I added it to my todo list. Happy new year

@rvtools Hi Rob. I hope you had a great Christmas. Is a VM's Fault Tolerance Role, as either the Primary or a Secondary, available in the latest export yet? I can see FT State, Latency, Bandwidth, etc in vInfo; but not the VM's actual FT role. Cheers, Martin

@mc1903 Will be fixed in next version

@rvtools Thanks, the side-by-side multiple versions works really well. Wish I had known about it before!😀 I have noticed that RVTools v4.3.1 is using v12.0.3 of the Newtonsoft.Json.dll library, which has a high severity vulnerability - github.com/advisories/GHS…

@rvtools Hi Rob. Hope you are well. Would it be possible to reinstate the vFloppy tab please? I use RVTools for migration planning and it's a PITA to revert to an old version just to get this info. Recent migration over 2k of the 5k VM's still had FDD's connected to images. Thx.

@mc1903 Copy the complete RVTools installation directory to another directory and name it for example RVTools_version_number

@rvtools "It’s possible to run multiple versions side-by-side" Really? How?

@mc1903 Disk sharing mode is not displayed (yet) in RVTools

@rvtools Hi Rob, I am using v4.3.1.0. Is the Hard Disk Sharing Mode (Unspecified | No Sharing | Multi-Writer) exposed? Struggling to see it in the vDisk tab output of it is. Thanks. M

@DavidCSloane Please check RVTools documentation

RVTools version 4.3.1 is now available for download.
