    Thanks for your video.
    My initial problem is that i disabled module vmw_ahci and now i am not able to enable it back via cli. After a reboot it is always reverted to disabled state. Already tried every tutorial available, but no luck. I can see that it is disabled in the esx.conf.
    What i want to do now is to follow your tutorial but then change the parameter in the esx.conf and tar everything back, encrypt the tar and restore that modified backup.
    What is the crypto-util command to re-encrypt the tar?

      U can use vmware-secureboot --encrypt-esxconf /etc/vmware/esx.conf

      ​@@Liv4IT thanks but by "file" i meant the tgz archive. I edited my initial post.
      So how can i re-encrypt local.tgz?

    • @Liv4IT

      cd /scratch/downloads
      vmkfstools --server=server_name --username=root --password=your_password -k -a 'aes256-cbc' -i local.tgz -o local_encrypted.tgz
      --server: Replace server_name with your ESXi server's IP address or hostname.
      --username and --password: Replace root with the username and password for your ESXi host.
      -k: This option tells vmkfstools to keep the original file.
      -a 'aes256-cbc': This specifies the encryption algorithm. You can choose a different algorithm if needed.
      -i local.tgz: This is the input file.
      -o local_encrypted.tgz: This is the output file with encryption

    if we want to use backup on another host esxi

      The easiest way is to install vsphere then you can perform backup between esxi hosts you can even do that live without service interruption

    anybody happen to know if there's a crypto-util utility equivalent on Linux?

    • @Liv4IT
      @Liv4IT  ปีที่แล้ว

      The crypto-utils package is designed for, SSL certificate and key management utilities : yum install crypto-utils
      This command will install crypto-utils on the server.
