      We would like to upgrade our VCenter Distributed Switches from 6.6.6 to 7.0.3 where all our ESXi hosts are on ESX 7.0.

    • Force Sync Filling up task log

      When I log into vCenter and look at the task pane it is always filled with Force Sync (Protected Site)/Recovery Site messages.  It doesn’t seem to affect anything that I can see, but it makes it a pain to see recent tasks that have run or are currently running?  Anyone else run into this and […]
