Cannot use RDP when replace the server from esx 4.1 to esxi 5.5

$

Hi there,

 

We have a new environment 5.5 with vsphere 5.5 and vcentre appliance 5.5

 

I have converted some VM's from vsphere 4.1 to vsphere 5.5 There between are two server which I cannot open RDP session to those servers from an ohter location.

 

Any idee how it can happen? It works fine when I shutdown the machine on vsphere 5.5 and start it again from the old environment vsphere 4.1.

 

thanks in advance...

I have Windows 7 on my PC, running VMWARE PLAYER version 6.0.1 build-1379776.  I can no longer start my session, as I keep getting "VMX file corrupt" error.

What does this error mean.  Can I reinstall VM player software, and will it find my data?

Please confirm.

 

Thanks

vROps DR architecture design

$
0
0

I'm designing vRops for an environment that has a production environment and a DR environment. The customer has a general rule to provide DR between Prod -> DR and I'm considering the best way to do this from a vROps perspective.

 

Key Points:

1. Prod and DR is similar hardware (Vblocks)

2. SRM is deployed and available

 

Options:

Opt 1. Use SRM to failover the nodes and bring up the same vROps instance on DC2 (Is it possible or supported to rename the nodes and/or re-ip if we needed to using SRM? I know some VMware appliances don't like this. )

Considerations: Does it make sense to try and seamlessly failover vRops to the DR datacenter, because even though the hardware, software components will be almost identical it is still physically separate kit. So for instance, an historical hardware alert from DC1 wont be applicable to DC2. There are a number of adapters including one for UCS, vCM, vCD, Hyperic, vCNS

 

Opt 2. Deploy two separate and independent instances of vROps, one monitoring DC1 an one monitoring DC2 - don't fail anything over if DC1 goes down.

Considerations: We'll have no historical alerts or performance baselines, but are they valid as its different hardware? Admittedly, the software services will be failed over and they will be the same but does it makes sense to monitor them as if they were still running on DC1

 

Opt 3??

 

I'm interested in the community thoughts as to ways to deploy vROps across this Active / Passive DC configuration

 

Thanks

ESXI 5.5 exception!!!!!

Hi All,

 

I have machine with an ESXi v5.5.0 Build 1993072 version that fails with exception. This happens very often (very annoying).

Few details on the hardware:

CPU Cores: 4 CPUs x 3.392 GHz

Processor type: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU 3.40GHz

Adapter Type used is E1000E

 

Any idea what can cause this exception? Also exception stack might be changed from time to time. I attached the latest exception I got today.

I will be so happy to get any help

 

Thank you,

Another 'Import-Package could not be resolved' issue.

$

0

I’ve been unable to fix this issue despite all the references to it in the SDK docs. I’m trying to get a pre-existing web app working with the Web Client, following the instructions under Integration of Existing Web Application.

An Import-Package could not be resolved. Resolver error data <Import-Package: org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WicketFilter; version="0.0.0">. Caused by missing constraint in bundle <com.micron.rssdmui.rssdm-ui_1.0.0> constraint: <Import-Package: org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WicketFilter; version="0.0.0">

 

I've followed all the steps under vsphere-client-sdk/docs/FAQ.html


How to use 3rd party java libraries?

This section states that as an alternative to using bundler/OSGI bundles you can nest your dependencies within the plugin.

I've included all my jar file dependencies at the root level of my war file like the instructions say (although I also tried WEB-INF/lib).

I've also added Bundle-ClassPath and Import-Package to my manifest as required.

Here is what my manifest file looks like: (omitted company name, .etc)

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.9.4

Created-By: 1.8.0_45-b14 (Oracle Corporation)

Bundle-Name: <plugin>-ui

Bundle-SymbolicName: com.<company>.<plugin>.<plugin>-ui

Bundle-Version: 1.0.0

Web-ContextPath: vsphere-client/<plugin>

Import-Package: org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WicketFilter

Bundle-ClassPath: .,wicket-core-1.5.8.jar

The relevant parts of my war file looks like this:

WEB-INF

    web.xml

META-INF

    MANIFEST.MF

wicket-core-1.5.8.jar

How to solve most ClassNotFoundException or similar errors?

As above, I think I've correctly put the dependency in my bundle's manifest.

 

Bundle installation fails because "An Import-Package could not be resolved"

I don't think the Import-Packages metadata is wrong, and there's only one plugin package/bundle so I don't think it's an issue with the order of packages being deployed. It mentions that version="0.0.0" is an indication that MANIFEST.MF is missing, but I've checked the contents of the war file I'm generating.


Are there any suggestions? I can attempt to use the bundler tool if I have to, but this web app is relatively simple and I should be able to include a few jar files in it without all this trouble :/

SQL Database query

Hi Guys,

 

Currently I have a 5.1 environment and he database is runnong on a seperate VM .

 

It is set up  on SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM 10.50.1600.1

The actual database is runnin in SQL Server 2005 (90) compatibility mode.

The OS is 2008 R2 SP1 Standard

 

I have had a look at the compatibility matrix and from what I can make out SQL Server would need to be upgraded to SP2? and 2005(90) would be fine as it is for a 5.5 upgrade?

Linux host and openGL support

$
0

Coming from Virtualbox where openGL 2.0 is supported, I was enticed by the prospect of openGL 3.3. As it turns out VMware Workstation 11.0 only provides openGL 1.1 so I tried the Technology Preview 2015 and found that it complains about my Linux install not providing openGL support. It does, so what gives? What are the prerequisites for openGL support on a Linux host system?

 

Turns out the drivers I used may not be compliant? Would be helpful to have a list of drivers that are compliant. I got rid of the notification by adding [mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"] to the vmx file. OpenGL is then reported by my win7 guest as 100% for v2.1 but v3.x are only partial.

VMware openGL 2.1 Mesa 10 2015-08-04 22:37:23.png

Firing up a application which needs openGL 3.0 I get the following error:

VMware OpenGL 3.0 missing 2015-08-04 22:29:53.png


I've seen that the supported Ubuntu version is 15.04, but I don't see this as a viable solution when I need to be on 14.04 for other software. Again, please specify the requirements and what it is about 15.04 that makes it better for vmware than 14.04. It would be much better to support an LTS version, rather than aim for a moving target...

Hi,

     When starting virgo webserver, I am getting below exception.

I do have generated webclient.properties and store.jks and pasted them under C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client on my local dev machine.

 

tool versions that I am using  are:

 

vsphere web client version: vimclients-public-sdk-6.0.0.2503177.zip (vsphere-client-sdk-version.xml shows build as 2502242)

vCenter version: VMware-VIMSetup-all-6.0.0-2503529.iso

Eclipse version: Eclipse Java EE IDE Juno Service Release 2

JDK version: 1.7.0_71

Virgo tools installed from URL: http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/virgo-ide

I have followed steps defined in SDK-Setup.html that I got with the SDK build.

webclient.properties does have cm.url defined.

Attached is the virgo logs from vsphere-client-sdk eclipse setup

 

Please kindly let me know if I am missing anything.

I checked the documentation but found nothing related to overcommiting in Fusion.

 

I tried enabling it using the properties found in this article, to no avail.

 

Could anyone point to a specific document I might have overlooked?

 

Has anyone tried overcommiting using the properties discussed in the article linked above?

 

I use Fusion 7 Pro (7.1.1) on OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5).

Limiting Simultaneous jobs for vSphere Replication

Is there a way to limit simultaneous jobs configured in vSphere Replication?  It looks like we can only configure RPOs but not simultaneous/concurrent jobs ran.  We are having bandwidth saturation issues so would like to prioritize which virtual machines get replicated over before others.


Thanks.

Static routes for vCenter 6

Due to my provider limitations I need to make static routes on VM's like:

 

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 8.8.8.8

netmask 255.255.255.255

broadcast 8.8.8.8

post-up route add 5.5.5.1 dev eth0

post-up route add default gw 5.5.5.1

post-down route del 5.5.5.1 dev eth0

post-down route del default gw 5.5.5.1

 

How can I make it on vCenter Server Appliance?

QC check Script

$
0
0

So I am looking into writing a powercli QC script.  Basically, this would check the basics, like cluster where the ESXi host is, verifying SSH is disabled, confirming DNS settings, confirming syslog servers, checking which Distributed Switch the host is on, etc.  Does anyone know if anything like this has already been written?  I am looking to save myself time and perhaps add some additional checks, if something similar has already been written.

 

Thanks.

Backup Script that removes clone older than 7 days

$
0
0

Hi everyone,

 

I am fairly new to powercli and powershell but I am trying to learn.  I have tailored a backup script that works for my environment but I'd like it to do a little more.  Right now the script keeps the cloned VMs in my inventory, I'd like for it to remove the new clones (backups) from inventory so they just sit on the "Backups" datastore.

 

I have added the following to try to achevie this, but I am not sure if it's correct.

 

"# Remove Clone from vCenter Inventory

    Get-VM –VM (Get-VM -Name $customer.MasterVM) -Name $cloneName | Remove-VM -confirm:$False"

 

 

Secondly when the script runs I'd like for it to first check the if there are any clones older then 7 days, if so delete that clone from the datastore before starting a new backup.

 

Here is my script, I appreciate the help from the community.

 

# Add the vmware snapin for powershell

Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

 

 

# Import Backup CSV

$backupinfo =  Import-Csv C:\Powershell-scripts\devbackups.csv

 

 

#Set Date format for clone names

$date = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd"

 

 

#Set Date format for emails

$time = (Get-Date -f "HH:MM")

 

 

# Your vcenter server and credentials

$vcenter = "vcenter"

$username = "root"

$password = "password"

 

 

# Establish Connection

connect-viserver -server $vcenter -user $username -password $password

 

 

foreach ($customer in $backupinfo)

{

  $vm = Get-VM $customer.MasterVM

 

 

  #Send Start Email

  C:\Powershell-scripts\backupstartedemail.ps1

 

 

  # Create new snapshot for clone

  $cloneSnap = $vm | New-Snapshot -Name "Clone Snapshot"

 

 

  # Get managed object view

  $vmView = $vm | Get-View

 

 

  # Get folder managed object reference

  $cloneFolder = $vmView.parent

 

 

  # Build clone specification

  $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec

  $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $vmView.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot

 

 

  # Make linked disk specification

  $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

  $cloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $customer.BackupDS | Get-View).MoRef

  $cloneSpec.Location.Transform =  [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateTransformation]::sparse

 

 

  $cloneName = "$vm-$date"

 

 

  # Create clone

  $vmView.CloneVM( $cloneFolder, $cloneName, $cloneSpec )

 

 

  # Write newly created VM to stdout as confirmation

  Get-VM $cloneName

 

 

  # Remove Snapshot created for clone

  Get-Snapshot -VM (Get-VM -Name $customer.MasterVM) -Name $cloneSnap | Remove-Snapshot -confirm:$False

  

    # Remove Clone from vCenter Inventory

    Get-VM –VM (Get-VM -Name $customer.MasterVM) -Name $cloneName | Remove-VM -confirm:$False

 

 

  #Send Complete Email

  C:\Powershell-scripts\backupcompletedemail.ps1

}

#Disconnect from vCentre

Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false

 

 

Thank you for the help.

Unable to change vCenter 6 web client (or SSO?) URI

$
0

Hi there,

 

I have upgraded my Windows vCenter 5.5 to version 6. I accessed the VC by going to https://vc.domain.com, after upgrading to version 6, it redirects me after clicking on "login to web client" to https://vcenter/websso/SAML2/SSOSSL?RelyingPartyEntityId=id (since vCenter is it's hostname). I have tried numerous things, under which:

 

* Change sso.properties file to match the correct URI

* Change the content of C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\vmware-vpx\vpxd.cfg

* Change the settings from the advanced settings in VMware web client (from the vCenter itself):

     config.vpxd.sso.admin.uri

     config.vpxd.sso.groupcheck.uri

     config.vpxd.sso.sts.uri

 

But all of these RESET on every vCenter reboot, so the settings are never truly applied.

 

Am I missing anything?

Delta VMDK is missing

$
0
0

Gentlemen, I have the following scenario in a single ESXi 5.5 host a client.

 

The company's IT wizard made some snapshots of a VM with Windows Server, I saw that there are window.vmdk delta disks, windows000001.vmdk, windows.000002.vmdk, the vm does not start and the disc properties the VMware shows the size with the same size 0 MB.

 

When you start the vm, the operation fails and says it is missing the widows000004.vmdk disk detail that besides be missing this also do not see a possible windows000003.vmdk, ie they are missing two deltas.

 

In my opinion, the only way to solve this problem would be restoring the backup of the VM, either via VDR or Veeam, only that there are none of these.

 

You can do something to recover the VM and the data intact, using the deltas that still exist, or I can tell the client that can pray before speaking to the Board? For even up the data it has.

 

 

Thanks!
