ESXi Compatibility Checker

따근따근한 Tool 이 하나 나와서 소개합니다.

python 으로 작성된 프로그램이구요, ESXi 의 호환성을 확인해볼 수 있는 Tool 이라고 보시면 됩니다.

https://labs.vmware.com/flings/esxi-compatibility-checker 에서 다운로드 가능하구요.

사용하기 위해서 python 설치가 필요합니다.

1. python download 및 설치 (설치시에 pip 가 포함되도록) : https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. 설치 후 다음 컴포넌트들을 설치
3. install Pyvmomi
python -m pip install pyvmomi
4. install crypto
python -m pip install crypto
5. install pyopenssl
python -m pip install pyopenssl

설치가 끝나면 스크립트를 실행하고, 패스워드를 입력합니다.

compchecker.py -s VC_or_ESXi_ip_address -u username

저같은 경우는 VC 주소로 접속했는데요, vCenter 의 Build version 이 나오네요.

C:\Users\byoungheek\Desktop\compchecker_v1_8522284>compchecker.py -s vcsa01.psolab.local -u administrator@vsphere.local

Enter password for host "vcsa01.psolab.local" and user "administrator@vsphere.local":

csv 포맷은 역시나 이쁘진 않네요. html 포맷이 나은것 같습니다.

html 포맷 리포트

업그레이드 계획이 있으실 때 사용해보시면 도움이 되겠네요.

다만 VSAN 호환성 가이드의 경우에는 적용이 안되는 것 같으니, VSAN 업그레이드 계획을 짜실때는 좀 더 주의하셔야겠습니다.
