VMWare Tools and never powered on templates

$
0
0

I'm working on a workflow that involves cutting a virtual machine in VirtualBox on my local machine, using OVFTool to convert it to a VMX / VMDK and uploading those to a datastore. I upload the VMX as a template, and register it once it's uploaded.  This works great, except for when it thinks that VMware tools isn't installed, when makes it so I can't use guest customizations.  When I'm cutting the VM I install open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-deploypkg. If I clone a vm from the template, power it up, shut it down and turn THAT into a template, it sees the vmware tools version correctly (and I can use guest customizations). Does anyone have any idea if there's something I can set in the vmx file or something during the registration process that can cut out the dance of clone, boot, poweroff, mark as template?

 

Thanks!

Cannot power on vApp deployed from public catalog

Hi Guys,

 

I have created a Public Catalog and exported a Nexus 1000v ovf file in that catalog. Since this is Public catalog it has rights to publish this catalog to all organizations.

 

I have an organization named "developers". This organization is able to see the public catalog and deploy an new vApp from it. I can see on vCenter as new vApp appearing under developers resource pool. But poweron of this vApp is failing with below error message

 

" The operation could not be performed because the argument is invalid. A specified parameter was not correct.

spec.memoryAllocation.reservation

vCenter Server task (moref: task-1201) failed in vCenter Server 'Cloud_VC' (7b35a50a-dea1-48a2-9ae4-b38c74f8ffbb).

- A specified parameter was not correct.

spec.memoryAllocation.reservation"

 

I have assigned 5 GB RAM to my org vDC and I am using "Reservation Pool" allocation model. Also I have tried giving 1 GB, 2 GB and 3 GB RAM to this Nexus1k vApp at the time of deploying from catalog but every time i am getting same error.

 

Any help in this will be much appreciated.

Two different SSO domains at PR and DR site

$

I am designing a vSphere solution having a primary site and a DR site.

 

The customer's requirement is to install vCenter +PSC in a single machine (2 Physical machines available) at both PR and DR site i.e. embedded installation

 

Based on the deployment guide provided by VMware, for multi-site deployments the PSC has to be external as per the following scenario

 

  • 1 Single Sign-On domain
  • 2 or more Single Sign-On sites
  • 2 or more external Platform Services Controllers
  • 2 or more vCenter Server with external Platform Services Controller

 

Starting with vSphere 6, you can change the SSO domain as well. Therefore, I would like to ask what will be the impact if use the embedded deployment model and  I define two different SSO domains, 1 (vsphere.local) at PR site and other (vsphereDR.local) at DR site. How will it affect the environment with a single active directory as the identity source.

vwc plugin using sdk 5.1 is broken if running on the web client 6.0 with out port 9443 - Could not connect to vSphere Web Client. Contact your administrator to fix this issue.

We have made a vwc plugin with sdk 5.1, now we want to run it on the web client 6.0. before running, we modified the MANIFEST.MF and services-config.xml following the reminders as below:

2 Important reminders for your 5.5 plugin to be compatible with Web Client 6.0

 

After that, we deployed our plugin on web client 6.0.

If we access it using the URL with port: https://<ipaddress>:9443/vsphere-client/?csp, our plugin shows up, the function of our plugin is also ok.

If we access it using the URL without port: https://<ipaddress>/vsphere-client/?csp, our plugin shows up, the function is broken (error occurred when flex ui calling java service: " Could not connect to vSphere Web Client. Contact your administrator to fix this issue.").

Thank you very much


Unable to create object : VcFolder

When attempting to use the following line:

 

var myVcFolder = new VcFolder() ;

 

I keep getting the error: Unable to create object : VcFolder : com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.model.VimFolder

 

I'm new to scripting in orchestrator.  I'm assuming I'm just missing an import or something.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Something seems to be missing in my VCO setup

I have setup the VCO appliance and configured it.  I show all GREEN dots in the configuration screen and Orchestrator "appears" to be properly connected to vCenter and SSO.  I can login to the client and configuration tools with no problems.  However, when I watch this video, at time 2:02, my setup does not have what he has going on:

 

Automating Operations in the vSphere Web Client with vCenter Orchestrator - YouTube

 

In his setup, he goes into Orchestrator (in vCenter web client) then under "Inventory Trees" he clicks on Workflows and then he magically sees all his workflows (from what I only see in the Java client) show up in the vCenter client.  This does not happen for me - I see NO workflows.  Is there something in the setup/configuration that I missed?  Do you have to "enable" workflows first before they are usable and hence show up in vCenter?

 

Any help is appreciated.

hpnmi failed to load

I have a new out of the box HP ML350 Gen9 server that I have installed ESXi 5.5 U2 onto.  This is the HP ISO from the VMWare site I installed--

VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-Update2-2403361-HP-550.9.2.27-Mar2015.iso

 

As ESX boots up I see an error that says hpnmi failed to start. ESX has booted and I'm able to use iLO to access the server through vSphere.  What is it that hpmni manages?  Do I need to manually update something on the server?

 

Thanks.

VMware Fusion "Take Snapshot" greyed out

$
0
0

I'm using Fusion 7.1.2 on a Macbook pro running the latest version of OS X for a Windows VM.  Everything works correctly, except that almost all of the Snapshot options under the Virtual Machine menu are greyed out.  Under "Snapshots" in this menu I can view the Current State and even set up Auto-Protect but no snapshots are actually created regardless of what auto-protection parameters I set.  I cannot manually create a snapshot and the "Delete" and "Restore" Snapshot options are also greyed out.

 

I've searched through the VMware KB and the forums but cannot find a solution.  There are some old posts on a similar problem with other VM products, but none related to Fusion and do not provide relevant information to my specific problem.

 

I recently upgraded from Fusion 6 to Fusion 7 and also updated my VM machine from Windows 7 to Windows 10 in the hope that this might fix the problem but no luck.  Of course I have also tried multiple reboots as well as search through every option in the Fusion Preferences menu in case I've failed to tick some option.

 

Suggestions most welcome.


Code to change the QD search lookup option on the Configuration Item field on a specific Call screen

$

0

We have a requirement to change the QD search lookup option on the Configuration Item field on a specific Call screen.

 

By default, all of our Officers tend to have the Default set to “Customer” on the Configuration Item QD field.  This is so after they have picked the Customer on the Call screen, when they go into the CI field and press enter, it automatically just brings up the CI’s where the selected Customer is the owner of the devices.

 

However, on a specific IPK Status Call screen, we want the Configuration Item QD lookup option to always change to the “Config Item Title” option, not “Customer”.

 

Any idea how we change this option only when using this specific screen and the Default value stays the same for all the other call screens?

 

Thanks for any assistance,

Ian

Assign Static IP to VM

$
0
0

Hi,

 


on my ESXi Server (IP: x.x.x.142 )  I’d like to install an OS on my VMs,

which I created via vSphere Client.

Because DHCP is not available I’d like to assign a new static IP  (say  x.x.x.143) to

each of my VMs.

What needs to be done on the ESXi Host (IP: x.x.x.142 )  in order to achieve that.

The ESXi I can access via ssh

e.g. I get:

~ # esxcfg-route -l

VMkernel Routes:

~ #

Network          Netmask          Gateway          Interface     

x.x.x.0         255.255.255.0     Local Subnet     vmk0          

default          0.0.0.0          x.x.x.252  vmk0          

 

~ #

~ #

~ #

~ # esxcli network ip route ipv4 list

Network        Netmask        Gateway          Interface  Source

-------------  -------------  ---------------  ---------  ------

default        0.0.0.0         x.x.x.252       vmk0       MANUAL

x.x.x.0        255.255.255.0   0.0.0.0         vmk0       MANUAL

 

~ #

~ #

~ # esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get

Name  IPv4 Address     IPv4 Netmask   IPv4 Broadcast   Address Type  DHCP DNS

----  ---------------  -------------  ---------------  ------------  --------

 

vmk0     x.x.x.142                255.255.255.0         x.x.x.255             STATIC             false

~ #

~ #

Is it possible to use a shell command to assign the static IP to VM ? Can I configure

it via vSphere Client ?

Do I need to set up another vmk(1) ?

Are the MAC Address’ of my VMs relevant ?

Can you show me the steps how to do that ?

 

HowTos ?

 

Have thanks in advance!

Regards,
