Hi,
In case of SAN restore snapshot is required. I wanted to know reasons behind this requirement. Since with SAN restore we would be writing to base disk and at the end of restore we need to revert and delete snapshot. What if restore fails in between can we go back to before restore state? (failed restore operation modified base disks before it failed so wondering how would this work?) Thoughts?
Not sure if this is the proper way but I was able to modify the routes after deployment by modifying routes.sh in /opt/VMware/gateway/conf
Hi,
recently we have upgraded the vcenter from windows to VCSA 6.5 Build 8024368, after wards we had small small issues most of them trigger alarms. receiving alarms on "PSChealth status changed from green to red" while verifying in Monitor and Trigged Alarms its now showing any thing to Clear the same. Can any one please post me the solution.
2. Had another one "Insufficient configured resources to satisfy the desired vSphere HA failover level on the cluster". previously we had this issue with the 6.5 Build 5178943, but in our Build 6.5 8024368 also we are facing the same alarm.
We are moving our guests from our current 5.5 cluster to a new, separate 6.5 cluster. The two clusters see the same back-end storage. Our guests typically use 2 datastores, a primary one for C:|/ and a swap datastore. To move a guest, I power off and unregister it from the old cluster, then browse the primary datastore from the new cluster and register the guest. They fail to power on in the new cluster.
Looking at the guest's settings, disks on the primary datastore are fine (showing the human-readable datastore name); disks on the swap datastore are highlighted in red and there is a reference to /vmfs/volumes/<uuid> which is the swap datastore on the old cluster (which does not match the <uuid> for the swap datastore on the new cluster).
We can edit the vmx and change the path to the vmdk to match the new <uuid> of the swap datastore, but this seems kludgey. We could also sVmotion the swap disks to the primary datastore on the old cluster, move the guest to the new cluster and then sVmotion the swap disks to the swap datastore, but again, this is kludgey and if we can avoid it, we'd rather not have swap disks in our array snapshots (the primary motivation for having separate swap disks in the first place). A third option we've ruled out is creating a symlink from the old <uuid> in /vmfs/volumes to the new <uuid>.
Are there any other options? To be clear these are separate clusters (by design) so we cannot easily vmotion the guests. Thanks!
Boot your Centos VM into a Centos LiveCD and run the following command as root:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=notrunc (make sure that /dev/sda is the existing disk and /dev/sdb is the new one)
When that command is done power off the VM.
Remove the original disk and switch the new one to SCSI0:0
Doesn't work. Trundles along for several minutes and then host becomes unusable. Can't even stop the VM.
I guess I have to reconstruct the machine. I just hope I can delete the damaged vmdk file once I'm done with it.
Thanks,
George
I'm having the same issue. I've let it sit there for about 10 minutes and it just stays black screen. Allowed Horizon thru the mac firewall. Horizon admin is showing as connected.
I work for a company that is about to turn a corner and truly have a cloud native deployment model for our applications. We are a month into our VIO POC and so far we have had a good experience testing using OpenStack APIs. The next piece we will be evaluating is NSX-V and NSX-T
I would love to get everybody's opinion on the combination of VIO with whatever flavor of NSX you are using. Ideally from those with production deployments, but others are equally appreciated (just specify that you have not rolled VIO into production yet).
Production for us is hundreds of users deploying machines. It's open ended so talk about likes/dislikes or whatever else you feel is relevant to a company trying to decide if this is the right path.
Thank you!
I am running into a bit of a snag attempting to retrieve the provisioningGroupId value while using vCACEntityManager.vCACEntityManager.readModelEntitiesBySystemQuery. The goal of this is to retrieve the business group a given VM is owned by. I am able to retrieve what appears to be all of the VMs VirtualMachineProperties with the exception of provisioningGroupId. I can see said ID if I use LINQPad to explore. I am hoping someone can shed some light on the subject, or perhaps provide a better means of obtaining the Business Group for a given VM. Any assistance would be quite appreciated.
Code used below to show properties from VM (note: vm name hard coded below just for testing purposes):
var hostid = vCACHost.id;
var modelName = "ManagementModelEntities.svc";
var linkName = "VirtualMachineProperties";
var vmEntity = vCACEntityManager.readModelEntitiesBySystemQuery(hostid, modelName, "VirtualMachines", "VirtualMachineName eq enttst0062'");
var linkEntity = vmEntity[0].getLink(vCACHost, linkName);
for each(var l in linkEntity){
System.log("key: " + l.getProperty("PropertyName"));
System.log("value: " + l.getProperty("PropertyValue"));
}
Have UEM setup in my Primary domain and is working pretty well. I need to set it up in my secondary domain (hospital side) and utilize some of UEM's power. As i try to set it up I can get it to work somewhat but no logs are getting updated. I can see teh desktop icons getting to the desktops adn i can see the applications that i have assigned but when i look at the log file to see what teh issues are, there are NO logs. All the users and groups have the appropriate rights adn i can manually log on to that server/share and add and delete files. I can't quite figure out what is going on but none of my test users will work properly. Is there something that i am missing in the setup?? All the appropriate users and groups have a access to the correct folders. (UEM_Profiles, Uem_config, and Uem_Redirected profiles. Can someone give me a hint as to what i am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated
I suspect we might not be looking at the same code anymore.
That error message lists a line I don't see in my last version of the script.
Perhaps you could attach a file with your current version?
I have been tasked recently with seperating some of our vcenter environments completely. I have looked all over but can't seem to find documentation or an article that describes the breaking of ELM and then repointing that vcenter to a new sso domain. Most of the docs I see are for 5.5 or 6.0.
Anyone ever try anything like this...vmware support has been less than helpful on this particular issue.
Cool, I was seeing this too, haven't had an update sent to my email or anything in a week or 2
Hello,
I am the Technical Account Manager for Polaris Alpha. They got the welcome email a couple weeks ago and have tried to deploy the product. When they try to add their My.VMware account they get an error message saying they do not have entitlement.
The account in question is Sean.Jabro@polarisalpha.com.
Can this account please be whitelisted as soon as possible? We have requested this in SocialCast and in #slack and just finding out that we have to make the request here too.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
Kind Regards,

Judging from here https://goo.gl/SVkcy6 - it looks like the retention is very limited even if you implement
the Enterprise edition. Correct me if I'm wrong. One month without enterprise and three months maximum
with Enterprise? Any other options? Will this be fixed in future versions?
As a work-around is there any way to setup an automated CSV export of firewall rules so that a text csv
could be exported every week at a certain day/time?
Not exactly on the SAN storage, the datastores you have are probably vmfs 5, to get unmap to work you need vmfs 6. You will need to provison new datastores and migrate your VMs over, there is no upgrade process like there was from vmfs 3 to 5
I just upgraded the my vCenter server from 5.5 to 6.5 appliance. Now when I try to use the console some of the console the mouse disappears when moving it into the field where the OS resides. Any ideas
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. We tried a group policy that added that registry entry entry and the group policy did add the registry entry but we then noticed that our Windows 10 Start button no longer worked. We had run into this before where trying to enable group policies that deal with the Start menu and Taskbar break the Windows start button. We are running Horizon 7.4 and supposedly upgrading the VMware agent to 7.5 fixes these issues so we are going to test that.
Fingers crossed!
For characters typed on the OSK to be registered in the Guest OS it has to have grabbed the keyboard focus the same as with a physical keyboard.
I am facing an issue with hyper-threading on ESX host 5.5. The ESX host (Dell R710) was hard rebooted using power button. (Powered off and then powered on)
After reboot, I see the hyperthreading details as below. It was active before but now its showing inactive and not supported. Its showing enabled though.
Hyperthreading Active: false
Hyperthreading Supported: false
Hyperthreading Enabled: true
What can be done to make it active?
Thanks in advance.
