Hello everyone!

 

I'm having a Problem with the logout from windows 10 1607 vdi.

If the user take a logout from the windows 10 vdi, the status in view administrator stays to connected, after a few minutes it change to disconnected. The user can't logon again till I delete the desktop.

 

We're currently use Horizon View 6.2.2. The Windows 10 desktops with the anniversary update has got x64 with 4 GB RAM.

 

Someone got an idea why the users are not cleanly logout of the session?

 

Thanks to all for your help.

Greetings vrvm

Windows 10 1607, some applications not working in linked clones

$
0
0

Hello:

I am currently trying to figure out a very strange issue with Windows 10 1607 (we did not have these issues with 1511).  We have a few applications installed on our golden master VM.  I am recomposing our pools and within the linked clones, some of the applications simply do not run at all.  These applications will run fine on the golden master VM, just not on any linked clones.  An example is Office 2016 click to run, it will crash.  Another is Symantec Endpoint Protection which opens but shows a blank screen and autoprotect is malfunctioning.  I am not sure why these applications would break simply from the cloning process.  I am using the standard guest customization, with only a couple of tweaks, mainly setting the local administrator password and mostly defaults. 

Any ideas on why this would happen, only with Windows 10 1607?  I have seen a lot of problems related to guest customization for Windows 10 but mostly that's where it stalls or freezes and does not work.  It's working and completing but somehow these applications are breaking.

Thanks in advance.

Event ID 41: Spontaneous reboot vmware clients with HW version 11

$
0
0

I hope someone can help me.

We are running ESXi6.0, Vcenter 6.0.

Most VMWare clients (Windows 7) are running Hardware version 7. Some of the newer machines are running hardware version 11.

I noticed that the Hardware version 11 clients have Event ID 41 errors in the System log. They reboot spontaneously. There is no logic in time / date / frequency. As a test I upgraded my own system to hardware version 11 yesterday and today it was rebooted twice

There is no memory dump or crash information in the logging.

Just the message in Dutch: "Het systeem is opnieuw opgestart zonder eerst correct te worden afgesloten. Deze fout is mogelijk veroorzaakt doordat het systeem niet meer reageert of is vastgelopen of doordat de stroom is uitgevallen."

Freely translated: The machine restarted without first being shutdown properly. This error might be caused because the system stopped responding or hang or the power dropped.

 

Can anyway please advise? All Hardware version 11 machines have this error in the logging. But the frequency and the day/time varies.

They all have Windows 7 guest OS.

VMware tools installed.

2 CPUs

4 Gb memory

HDD between 50 Gb - 100 Gb

Systems are on different ESX hosts and different datastores. Only thing in common is the hardware version.

LSI 9341-4i raid card not recognized is ESX 5.5

$

Hi,

I was trying to setup a home ESX box and I'm having trouble getting the raid controller recognized..

 

HW Info:

-MB is  Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H ; the on board SATA controller has the raid function turned off and the SATA port mode set to 'IDE' as opposed to AHCI

   ->ESX is installed on a single SSD attached to the MB SATA controller; obviously it's seen fine.

-Raid controller is the LSI 9341-4i with 4 SATA SSDs hanging off of it.

 

The raid card itself seems to work as I can get into the raid BIOs and configure a new raid 5 volume.

 

Once ESX is booted 'lspci -v' does seem to show the raid card...

 

0000:01:00.0 RAID bus controller Mass storage controller: LSI MegaRAID SAS Fury Controller [vmhba1]
         Class 0104: 1000:005f

 

However in the Vsphere client I don't see the device or any volumes. I only see the OS disk and the CD-Rom which are both attached to the MB SATA controller.

 

Things I've tried:

-I installed the offline bundle from VMWare...

     megaraid_sas-6.600.60.00.1vmw-offline_bundle-1330596.zip

This installed without error, rebooted, but still can't see the raid controller.

 

-I also tried a slightly new driver from LSI with no change.

 

Q:

Anyone got any ideas about what I'm doing wrong here?

Is there any way how to automate vShpere replication? via powercli or any other way? (3rd party)

Or is it possible to have replication enabled for entire datastore, VMs group folder or any other subset contining VMs?

The intension here is to either deploy or move virtual machine into that subset that is already being replicated to have the replication enabled on that particular machine automaticaly without human interaction.

I need a clear answer if the opposite is true without installing a NEW windows vcenter and move everything to the new one

Your help will be valuable

Adding vGPU using pyVmomi

Hi Everyone

 

I have been trying to add a vGPU using pyVmomi. I found a way of doing it in powershell from a blog which is as follows:

 

Param ($VM, $vGPUProfile)

    $VM = Get-VM $VM

    $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

    $spec.deviceChange = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec[] (1)

    $spec.deviceChange[0] = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

    $spec.deviceChange[0].operation = 'add'

    $spec.deviceChange[0].device = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualPCIPassthrough

    $spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo = New-Object VMware.Vim.Description

    $spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.summary = ''

    $spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.label = 'New PCI device'

    $spec.deviceChange[0].device.backing = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualPCIPassthroughVmiopBackingInfo

    $spec.deviceChange[0].device.backing.vgpu = "$vGPUProfile"

    $vmobj = $VM | Get-View

    $reconfig = $vmobj.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)

    if ($reconfig) {

        $ChangedVM = Get-VM $VM

        $vGPUDevice = $ChangedVM.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.Device | Where { $_.backing.vgpu}

        $vGPUDevice | Select Key, ControllerKey, Unitnumber, @{Name="Device";Expression={$_.DeviceInfo.Label}}, @{Name="Summary";Expression={$_.DeviceInfo.Summary}}

 

However, I need a pyVmomi equivalent. The problem I am facing it is pyVmomi is not recognizing VirtualPCIPassthroughVmiopBackingInfo class.

 

Any ideas?

Обновление SSL сертификатов

Добрый день!

 

 

Развернут View Connection Server 7.

Ругается на Untrusted Certificate от vCenter. vCenter(5.5)

Сертификат на View Connection Server от доменного СА уже получен и установлен.

Планирую обновить сертификаты на компоненты vSphere 5.5 и есть вопросы.

 

 

Использовал Automation Tool для генерации запросов на сертификаты.

 

 

Так же нашел статью как обновить сертификаты на хостах.

 

 

пока непонятна последовательность в которой нуджно устанавливать полученные сертификаты.

В Automation Tool есть SSL Update Planner, который выводит по шагам что нужно обновить:

 

 

1. Go to the machine with Single Sign-On installed and - Update the Single Sign-

On SSL certificate.

2. Go to the machine with Inventory Service installed and - Update Inventory Ser

vice trust to Single Sign-On.

3. Go to the machine with Inventory Service installed and - Update the Inventory

Service SSL certificate.

 

 

и т.п

 

 

А когда обновлять сами хосты? В первую очередь, наверное?

 

 

Заранее спасибо за ответы.

Pour créer une nouvelle machine virtuelle Boot Camp, choisissez Fichier > Nouveau et sélectionnez "Plus d'options" puis "Installer à partir de Boot Camp".

Échec de l'activation du module 'Disk'.

"Your Boot Camp virtual disk configuration is outdated

To Create a new Boot Camp virtual machin, choose Folder > New and select "More Options" and "Boot Camp Install".

Failed to activate module 'disk'.

Have you an idée ?

Muti-Factor Authentication with DUO Security

We are changing from RSA to DUO Security for our MFA using Horizon View 6.2.3. On first screen when using the Hoizon View Client it display's "username" and "passcode" when in fact you are entering your AD "username" and "password".

 

What I am looking for is a way to change the wording of "passcode" to "password" so that our users do not get confused and end up trying to enter a DUO passcode.

 

Has anyone experienced the same issue using DUO Security?


Converting a Windows 8.1 E01 to a VMDK

I have a E01 image of a windows 8.1 VM with about 7 partitions. I am trying to convert the E01 into a working VM. Yet every time I do when it boots up it tells me it is missing the OS. I have used this conversion method with 4 Windows 7 machines and they work just fine but this one is the one giving me issues. I think it may have to do with the partitions and VM workstation choosing the wrong partition to boot first. If I am right I have no idea how to change the partition boot sequence for this E01.
