Status

We have divided the vSphere upgrade in two stages: vCenter and ESXi upgrades. The vCenter upgrade was complete on May 14, 2022. The ESXi host upgrades will be performed in the upcoming weeks and the following section will be updated accordingly.

ITS Private Cloud Ecosystem

Will the ITS Private Cloud API work in version 7.0?

Yes. The VSS API will keep its current feature set and eventually add new functionalities integrating with v7.0.

Will the ITS Private Cloud CLI work in version 7.0?

Yes. Since the VSS CLI is a client to the API, it will work. Refer to the following article https://onesearch.library.utoronto.ca/ic-faq/41090 to clear cache of vctr5-1.dcb.eis.utoronto.ca host.

vSphere Client

The vSphere client is not working properly, is this normal?

Usually, the vSphere client web browser cache should be cleared after a version upgrade. Please, follow this great how-to from U of T Libraries Clearing Browser Cookies | University of Toronto Libraries (utoronto.ca).

Execute the following vss-cli command to list all your VMs and domains:

vss-cli --columns name,domain.name compute vm 
name            domain.name
