vRA Supportability in public cloud

$
0
0

This question is sensitive so it might not be appropriate in this community, but I'm glad if we share our thought as far as we can.

 

Under the following condition, if Windows can't work well in AWS, how will it be supported? Does VMware investigate about whether vRA isn't the cause of issue? And also, is it covered about AWS region in come cases if possible?

 

- Customers provision virtual Windows OS to public cloud (for example AWS).

 

- They've already subscribe the support for Windows OS and public cloud AWS. Of course, vRA too.

 

I'm worried about the case that nobody doesn't investigate a problem by saying that other products might be wrong.


Does vRA7.0 support application scaleout/scalein after deployment?

$

Hi, experts

In previous vRA6.x version, we could scaleout/scalein application deployment if server of application blueprints support cluster mode, but in vRA7.0 I can't find this function after deploying a muti-tier application, so I wonder if vRA7.0 support application scaleout/scalein? if not, is there a roadmap for that, It's very important for us as a new customer want us deliver vRA7.0 and implement such function.

 

many thanks!

Windows 10 graphics resolution problems with VMware Workstation 12 Player Using a Dell Optiplex 7010

Before upgrading to Win 10, I have graphics resolution problems with VMware Workstation 12 Player Using a Dell Optiplex 7010, the graphics displays could be set to 1920x1080 before using ISO 8.1 Pro x64, now since the upgrade, the best setting I can set the VM too is 1152x864 resolution and it's using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter???, that no good.

Is there a way I can get a higher resolution back in the display settings which I had previously at 1920x1080?

Cheers

I have been using the below to identify VMs that have been restarted by HA in our environment.  Works great but was wondering if there is a way to include  the host that experienced the issue causing HA to restart to VM on the target host.

 

Get-VIEventPlus-EventType"com.vmware.vc.ha.VmRestartedByHAEvent"-Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) |Select CreatedTime,@{N="VM";E={$_.Vm.Name}},@{N="HostRestartedOn";E={$_.Host.Name}},@{N="Cluster";E={$_.ComputeResource.Name}},@{N="Datacenter";E={$_.Datacenter.Name}},FullFormattedMessage | export-csv c:\temp\results.csv -notypeinfo

Well, this happened again....

 

I recently did a clean install on my Windows 10 computer.

Today I installed Vmware Workstation and no matter what virtual machine I load, I get this:

 

VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)

vcpu-0:VMM DoubleFault src=MONITOR @ rip=0xfffffffffc489c8d rsp=0xfffffffffc5fffc0 regs=0xfffffffffc03cf40 (0x0,0x0)

A log file is available in "D:\*******\Windows 98 SE\vmware.log". 

You can request support. 

To collect data to submit to VMware support, choose "Collect Support Data" from the Help menu.

You can also run the "vm-support" script in the Workstation folder directly.

We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.

 

Last time I had this error was 5 months ago which was fixed by upgrading my BIOS. However, as there's no more BIOS updates, I don't know what to do anymore...

What might cause a vm to lose the vmtools heartbeat?

$

We have an old Windows 2003 Server vm that recently rebooted for no apparent reason. From what I can see, it shows that it was reset by vSphere HA because of the VMware Tools heartbeat failure.

 

I'm wondering what could cause the heartbeat to be lost?

 

Thanks.


Query Local Users and Creating Local Users

$
0
0

I'm trying to automate the creation of a Local User in ESXi using the Perl SDK.

 

I know how to pull a list of users that have permissions from the host.

 

my $userAccounts = $authorizationMgr->RetrieveAllPermissions;
for my $user (@$userAccounts) {
        if ($user->principal eq $add_user) {
                # User Exists
                if($user->roleId = $add_roleId) {
                        print "User already exists with correct role, OK\n";
                        exit 0
                } else {
                        print STDERR "User exists but with wrong roleId.\n";
                        print STDERR "Requested Role = (".$add_role."), got (";
                        for(@$roleList) {
                                if($user->roleId eq $_->roleId) {
                                        print STDERR $_->name.")\n";
                                }
                        }

                         exit 1;

                }
        }
}

 

But it is possible for an account to be listed in the Local Users and Groups but have no Permissions assigned.

 

Does someone know of a way to query if the local account exists? In the vSphere Client when directly connected to a host the Local Users and Groups tab displays this info, I'm lookling to access it in Perl.

 

Also I've been trying to create a local user account and having no luck

 

Code:

my $accountManager = Vim::get_view( mo_ref => $service_content->accountManager);
$accountManager->CreateUser( user  => { id => 'Inventory2', password => "aBc!56hh", description => "Inventory2" });

 

Output:

Expected HostAccountSpec for 'user' argument. at (eval 17) line 100
        VimService::get_arg_string('HASH(0x1f49c160)', 'user', 'HostAccountSpec') called at (eval 17) line 132

        HostLocalAccountManagerOperations::CreateUser('HostLocalAccountManager=HASH(0x1f49c760)', 'user', 'HASH(0x1f49c160)') called at vmware_user_add.pl line 151

 

I suspect I'm making some dumb mistake in calling the method.

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Windows File Monitoring - Customizing Text Format

Just been playing around with file monitoring on Windows looking at a specific log file. Events are coming into the Log Insight server and I have then created an Alert to email the contents of a custom the search to a mailbox. (see image for search)

 

I'm expecting to see a similar output to the File Attached but all of the columns are together making it very hard to read the output, can this behaviour be manipulated some how?

long-distance shared nothing vMation making vMSC less relevant?

$

I was reading through the following articles on the additional vMotion capabilities in  vSphere 6:

- http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2015/02/05/new-vmotion-vsphere-6-0/

- http://www.cloudfix.nl/2015/02/02/vsphere-6-vmotion-enhancements/

 

With features like "long-distance shared-nothing vMotion" and "routed vMotion", it seems Disaster Avoidance can easily be taken care of by these new vMotion features.

One of the biggest biggest pro's of a vMSC stretched cluster has always been: disaster avoidance, which practically meant: the ability to move a VM between data centers with the standard vMotion process in a stretched cluster.

 

If this can now be handled between 2 separate clusters by doing a shared nothing vMotion over distance, then it seems to me that a vMSC has become a lot less relevant than it used to be.

I know that you don't have the stretched HA protection across 2 sites without a stretched cluster, but this can also be taken care of well enough with replication+SRM.

 

Is a long-distance shared nothing vMotion a good Disaster Avoidance mechanism?

Any thoughts?

Can't install VMware Player 6.0.2 when username contains apostrophe

$

0

I was trying to install VMware Player 6.0.2 in a Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit O/S.

 

I kept on having "Script Error" (cf image below).

 

After some investigations, I found out the cause of the problem.  It's because the user name contains an apostrophe.  In some countries, it's natural to have an apostrophe in the name, eg Jeanne d'Arc.  For privacy issue, I won't mention the real name in my case, so let's say it's Jeanne d'Arc.  In this problem, the path to "index.htm" is

C:\users\Jeanne d'Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware_xxxxxxx\index.htm

 

Then I created another user name "Jeanne d Arc".  I used this new account to run the setup again and I didn't have the "Script Error".  It's then clear to me that the apostrophe in user name (and thus in file path) was the cause of the problem.

I suspect this problem can also occur for VMware Workstation setup.

Delayed Adobe Acrobat start

Every so often when opening a PDF it takes 10 to 15 seconds for Acrobat (11.0.14; Standard) to start; the process is created but then suspended.

I've tried all of the suggested options for Acrobat settings: Turn off Messages, turn off secure mode, remove all plugin.

If Acrobat is installed on the golden image it works fine.

 

I was wondering if anybody else has seen this behaviour and was able to fix it?

Проблемы после Конвертация Windows server 2008 с помощью Converter Standlone Client в Esxi 5.5

$

Добрый день.

 

Имеется windows server 2008 terminal-server. Решили его виртуализировать. С помощью Converter Standlone Client мигрировали его в Esxi. Размер жесткого диска 1.3 Tb. Тип - thick provision lazy zeroed. На сервере крутилась 1С 8.2  с родной базой. На этой физ машине Esxi,  имеется около 10 виртуальных серверов. Проблема в том, что после миграции стали замечать сильные тормоза. Например при работе в 1С или с банк клиентом. Тормозит, т е зависает и в этой программе ничего не получается сделать, но в другом окне все нормально работает через некоторое время отпускает и опять может зависнуть. Такое замечено пока в 1С и банк клиенте. А иногда  работает нормально. Кажется что записания происходят при обращении в определенный  сектор жесткого диска.  ОЗУ достаточно, процессор не нагружен, LAN трафик тоже в норме.  Думаю, что дело с дисковым пространством. Можно этот как то выяснить средствами VM? И сталкивался ли кто нибудь с такой проблемой?

Remove one symptom definition from a policy

$

Hi,

 

I am trying to remove one symptom definition from the vSphere Solution Defaul Policy, which was created on install. I am specifically trying to remove one of the hardening guide policies, CR-ROM disable. We are not concerned whether a CD-ROM is connected or not.

 

I have found the symptom definition but unable to change the state from "enabled (Force)"?


How do I overcome this?


Thanks
