Re: SRM 6.1 vs Stretched Cluster (vMSC)

$
0
0

Stretched storage integrations with SRM is different from vMSC (what IBM is referencing when they mention transitioning to a single vCenter).

 

Stretched storage integration with SRM requires specific storage from your array vendor that supports not just synchronous replication, but also the ability to present the same LUN/datastore to both sites/arrays as read-write at the same time AND an SRA that will work with that array and SRM 6.1 or later.

 

For details on stretched storage in the SRM documentation see here: Site Recovery Manager 6.1 Documentation Center

 

For compatibility information see: VMware Compatibility Guide - sra

 

Note that there is a filter option for stretched storage. When I search for IBM and SRM 6.1 w/Stretched storage I see the Storwize SRA ver 3.2 and 3.2.1.

How is your network setup? Is your VSAN on a 1Gb network? vMotion on a different NIC?

 

If they're on the same NIC, you'll probably see congestion on 1Gb. If you're VSAN NIC is using 1GB, you'll probably see congestion more often than you'd like.

Re: ESXi 6.5 VMs wont start

Hello,

 

Just quickly to understand your current setup, so you have 1 host and 1 vCenter running in VMware workstation? or do you have the host running on VMware workstation and vCenter on the host?

 

So with the latest ESXi 6.5 version you will get a host web client, if you go to https://IP Address/ui  it should take you to the host web client. Is that where you are getting the error?

 

You can try adding the following line to your .vmx file for the VM, this should automatically answer any questions when the VM boots:

 

msg.autoAnswer = "TRUE"

 

If this is set as True, try it as False, seen a few articles about this but they say different things and I'm currently rebuilding my lab and have 0 hosts to try it out!

 

 

disable the ability to connect and disconnect devices or to modify device settings in VM

Hi,

I  still did not get how user can disable or connect device to VM if he is using RDP or SSH and has not any access to vCenter console. is this :"

isolation.device.connectable.disable = "TRUE"

isolation.device.edit.disable = "TRUE"  "

can be used if the user has rights on vCenter to edit VM settings ?

Aloha TDJB3,

 

Are you referring to the AppVolume 2.12.1 patch/update?   It would be nice if it addresses this issue as well as a few others we are running across.

unable to edit vApp options in 6.0 web client

i have started using the web client now and trying to stop using vi client, i found that i am not able to edit any settings under vApp Options on any vapp/vm  using the web client. the settings show up such as IP ,gw, subnet, etc... but i can't change the settings. the vapp is powered off by the way.

 

if i open the same settings via the vi client then i am able to.. but i need this to work in the web client, as in 6.5 there is no more vi client. i also tried refreshing within the web client.

BTW, I assume the Aladdin Token device could still be connected to the VM but you still saw the error in the log. Am I right?

Thanks for reporting the issue.

 

Could you help provide the following

 

1. /dev/usbdevices result

    run 'cat /dev/usbdevices' and get the result back to me

2. vmware.log

    Before you reproduce the issue, please turn the VM off, and append the following line to the vmx file (if not existing)

    usb.analyzer.enable = "TRUE"

 

Thanks,

Lance

Storage vMotion Powershell script will not iterate through list of Vms sequentially on a datastore after first Storage Vmotion completes

$

I have adapted a powershell script to login to a vcenter with admin credentials then iterate through all the VMs sequentially on a particular datastore(A) and move them to datastore(B) against a Vcenter 6 appliance and a ESXI 6 host.

The script ensure that the Storage Vmotion for a VM is complete before it iterates to the next VM in the list

The script works successfully for the the first VM to be processed but it is not signalling that the Storage Vmotion for the first VM is complete. So the script never moves on to the second VM in the list.

  1. What could be the error stopping iteration through the list of Vms?
  2. The script is a few years old. Is there a better way to do this currently?

Re: Fusion not working, windows cannot be activated, and unable to load any Windows programs on my MacBook Pro

I've installed, uninstalled, and re-installed VMware tools to no effect.  None of the results you describe have occurred.  It is still saying I need to activate Windows, but when I try, it says I can't because I already activated it on another machine.

 

I am trying to install my Windows application from a CD with my SuperDrive. But it tells me I cannot install it on a Mac, even though I have Windows running via VMware.  This Windows application is only available on the CD.  I had no trouble when I installed it previously using a trial copy of Crossover.  But of course when I removed Crossover, it also removed that Windows application.

Hello,

 

What guest OS is the VM running? and what application are you trying to run on the VM?

 

Have you tried setting up port forwarding in VMware Workstation, please see the link below for instructions with how to do so:

 

How to Setup Port Forwarding in VMware Workstation 9 | Virten.net

 

This should still apply for version 12.5.x.

 

I'm not sure if that's going to work but worth giving a go.

 

Kind Regards,

RJ

Linux Host VLAN Interface Bridged Mode VMNET Linux Guest Cannot Reach IPV4 Gateway (Windows Guest Can)

$

Hi All,

 

I don't think the issue I am trying to work through is a VMware Workstation one but rather a Linux one. Looking for assistance in figuring out the fix for it.

 

Info:

VMware Workstation 12.5.4

Host is Ubuntu 16.04

Linux Guests is Centos 7 & Ubuntu 16.04

Windows Guest is v10

VLANs in bridged mode on their respective vmnets

 

Host Net Config:

 

ethX with ipv4 disabled <--> ethX vlan interface with ipv4 disabled <--> bridged mode vmnet to vlan interface.

 

Problem:

- Linux Guest cannot reach the gateway, yet it can ping other guests within the same vmnet.

- Windows guest within the same vmnet as the linux guest can reach the gateway -> internet.

- Firewall appliance has the arp record for the Linux guest on the VLAN in question yet the Linux guest does not have the arp record for the gateway (firewall vlan interface is the ipv4gw).

- No ACL's or firewall policies are blocking the Linux Guests IP address.

- Linux Guests networking works fine when changing their VM's NIC to vmnet bridged mode of the ethX adapter (Host's default vlan / non-vlan interface) with the applicable ip/nm/gw for that network.

 

I have looked into the rp_filter within the Linux guest without success ( Why does Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and above invalidate / discard packets when the route for outbound traffic differs f…  )

 

Any idea what the issue + fix is? Thanks.


Re: VCSA 6.5 appliance deployment issue

Hello,

 

I had this same issue when I deployed VCSA 6.5 from the .ova template.

 

I was doing mine in VMware Workstation and it just never got past the RPM stage. After looking online for ages it said to change the nic to "Host Only" from "Bridged" during the initial power on, so giving it no external network access, this then for some reason fixed it and I never saw the RPM installing screen again.

 

I'm not sure how that relates to a normal production environment and deployment, as you would just point the install at a host, but hopefully this might give some sort of help or ideas!

Combining the PowerCLI result for NTP and DNS server to .CSV file ?

Hi All,

 

I wonder if it is possible to combine the below two PowerCLI line so the exported result can be in .CSV format ?

 

Get-VMHost | Sort Name | Select Name, @{N="NTP";E={Get-VMHostNtpServer $_}}

Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetwork

 

Thanks in advance.

Re: ESXiの過去のCPU使用率

$

こんにちは。

 

ESXi / VM の過去のCPUリソース使用状況については、vSphere Client か Web Client のパフォーマンス チャートを確認するとよいと思います。

直近の1時間(リアルタイム)は20秒単位、それ以降は期間によってロールアップされますが、おおよその使用率がわかります。

リアルタイム以外ですと、確認できるカウンタは減りますが、CPUの使用率(%)と使用量(MHz) のカウンタがあります。

 

チャート表示する期間は、チャートオプションから選択できます。

ただし、vSphere Client で ESXi に直接接続している場合は 直近の1時間しか性能値が残っていません。

 

以上です。ご参考まで。

Re: Combining the PowerCLI result for NTP and DNS server to .CSV file ?

Hello, -

 

It sure is! You can get those properties in a single returned object per VMHost like:

 

Get-VMHost|Get-VMHostNetwork|SelectHostName,DomainName,DnsFromDhcp, `

      ConsoleGateway,ConsoleGatewayDevice,DnsAddress, @{N="NTP";E={Get-VMHostNtpServer$_.VMHost}}

 

That should give you some goodness like (example for one server):

 

HostName             : myesxi02

DomainName           : mydom.com

DnsFromDhcp          : False

ConsoleGateway       :

ConsoleGatewayDevice :

DnsAddress           : {172.16.0.13, 172.16.0.16, 8.8.4.4}

NTP                  : pool.ntp.org

 

Then, to export that to CSV, you just pipe all of that to Export-CSV, of course (add " | Export-Csv c:\temp\myFile.csv -NoTypeInformation" to the end of the line, without the quotes).  That do it for you?
