I recently came to learn about a really cool project called Tiny 11 which is a stripped down version of Windows 11 Pro 22H2 that can run with just 2GB of memory and 8GB of storage. While you would probably not use this for production workloads, it could be interesting for those with homelabs and […]
The installation of the Operating System image will be denied and “SECUREBOOT: Image DENIED.” will be reported in vmware.log.
Below goes the list of the impacted Linux Operating Systems.
This is caused due to the Secure Boot deny list (dbx) is updated to prevent vulnerable bootloaders from being used. For more information, refer to VMware response to GRUB2 security vulnerability CVE-2020-10713 (80181)
Create the Virtual Machine with Secureboot disabled instead.

How to fix network after adding to vDS. When you add NX6412 to vDS and reboot ESXi. I don’t have uplink for vDS. You could check it with:
# esxcfg-vswitch -l
DVS Name Num Ports Used Ports Configured Ports MTU Uplinks
vDS 2560 6 512 9000 vusb0
--cut
DVPort ID In Use Client
468 0
469 0
470 0
471 0We will have to note DVPort ID 468 – example. vDS is name of your vDS switch.
esxcfg-vswitch -P vusb0 -V 468 vDSIt is necessary add it to /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh before exit 0. You could have similar script from source Persisting USB NIC Bindings
vusb0_status=$(esxcli network nic get -n vusb0 | grep 'Link Status' | awk '{print $NF}')
count=0
while [[ $count -lt 20 && "${vusb0_status}" != "Up" ]]
do
sleep 10
count=$(( $count + 1 ))
vusb0_status=$(esxcli network nic get -n vusb0 | grep 'Link Status' | awk '{print $NF}')
done

esxcfg-vswitch -P vusb0 -V 468 vDS
