The last days I had an issue with the vapi endpoint service. This was caused when I recreated the VMCA Solution Certificates with the Certificate Manager. BTW: VMware Support advised me to do so :/ The complete Message was:

"Failed to connect to d30d9c10-e830-4a2e-b2dd-12de77fc11a3\com.vmware.cis.cls.vapi vAPI provider." |
Look what other services are affected by this issue and how to fix it.
Check out the new Fling DRS Lens! It shows you a litte more how DRS is taking action.
I would like to show you my stumbling blocks when migrating to VCSA.
I would like to encourage you to report your bugs with the smiley at the top right corner.
A few days ago vSphere 6.0 Update 3 was announced. Beside the bugfixes and security updates there is a feature I would like to turn out.
Recently I had to upgrade from vCenter 6.0 U2 to 6.0 U2a because of this WebClient Bug (KB 2144934) But there are many stumbling blocks I would like to inform you about!
Don’t put your credentials into the PowerCLI scripts! There is an option to store your credentials on the Host.
Everybody knows this warning. Now I show you how to change the vCenter Certificate to avoid this ugly page.
In times like these, where daily security leaks are published, it’s time to check some basics. Run the following PowerCLI Script to see if the SSH-Service is running and disable it!
