Moving to Blogger.com

-
My website was moved from WordPress to Blogger.com recently. I used to run my blog on Bluehost . It was a three years contract. To be honest,  the Bluehost service was super stable.

Connect-NsxtServer shows "Unable to connect to the remote server"

-
When you run Connect-NsxtServer in the PowerCLI, it may show "Unable to connect to the remote server".  Because the error message is a little bit confusing with other login issues. It's not easy to troubleshoot. The actual reason is the NSX-T uses a self-signed certificate, and the PowerCLI cannot accept the certificate automatically. The fix is super easy. You need to set the PowerCLI to ignore the invalid certificate with the following command: Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -InvalidCertificateAction:Ignore -Confirm:$false
