For those who did not have any luck with the deleting of the dll(ssleay32.dll) described in this blog, there’s another possibility to enable the VMware Converter plugin without crashing your VirtualCenter client:
Go to the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VMware\VMware Infrastructure Client\Preferences\UI]
And set the following key to “Enabled”
“C:\\Program Files\\VMware\\Infrastructure\\Virtual Infrastructure Client\\Plugins\\Converter Enterprise\\plugin.dll”

VMware just uploaded a cool PDF about configuring an iSCSI SAN. This particular PDF is created by EMC and deals about an EMC Celerra iSCSI SAN but there’s more than enough useful info in there for those who don’t own an EMC iSCSI SAN.
The cool thing about the Celerra is the possibility to use “network load balancing”. Where most iSCSI SAN’s work with a group address, which forces ESX to always walk the same path, the Celerra SAN’s use multiple interfaces with multiple ip-adresses. Would like to see this in real life…

Today I encountered a weird phenomenon which I did not encounter yet. I installed the VMware Converter Plugin for VirtualCenter client, so far so good. Only thing left to do was to tick the checkbox to enable the plugin. But as soon as I ticked it the VirtualCenter client crashed without any warning. I rebooted the server, and tried it again… without any luck unfortunately. I reinstalled the plugin, again no luck… I checked the wonderful VMTN forum and someone already solved this problem, it’s due to the “ssleay32.dll” in the system32 directory which is incompatible with the one VMware converter uses. Remove it, and everything will work like it should! If this doesn’t work, check out this follow-up.

Just noticed the new errors HA produces at the console when a host is isolated in ESX 3.5:
Node isolated from network. Either repair network or override agent startup using option -noiso
And when the host returns from isolation:
Node no longer isolated, will restart
This makes troubleshooting a lot easier! Thanks VMware 🙂
