performance has deteriorated

$
0
0

Ciao, ho una struttura con 3 host 5.0 e uno storage condiviso sul quale risiedono le vm di 2 host (il  terzo ha una vm locale)

Lo storage è un promise configurato in raid 10  e connesso agli host con 2 nodi iscsi  ed è attivo da circa 2 anni con le stesse macchine tranne una aggiunta recente (qualche mese fa un server sul quale sta girando un sito che genera un discreto traffico).

Ha sempre girato tutto alla perfezione, mai un problema nè di stabilità che di performance.

 

Ora, guardando  negli eventi dei 2 host che usano lo storage condiviso leggo messaggio tipo questo:

 

Device eee.....xxxx840413b performance has deteriorated. I/O latency increased from average value of 4544 microseconds to 146523 microseconds ..con valori continuamente diversi, maggiori o minori.


Non ho alert ho problemi sui servizi, lo storage appena verificato non ha problemi sul raid, sull'hw e nessun evento in generale.

Non sono certo  che non ci   fossero in passato in quanto controllo spesso le machine ma non gli eventi sull'host .

Anche entrando su vcenter con vsphere-client sembra tutto ok, selezionando la parte datastore i valori di rw sembrano tutti rientrare in un range, c'è qualche picco ma sempre dentro il range. Nella parte eventi vedo 2 warining ma non sono specificati.


Tutti i server e lo storage sono connessi ad uno stesso switch, non di prima fascia ma un modello più enterprise (al momento non ho il modello esatto da poter comunicare qui)


A cosa possono essere dovuti? Ho dei rischi all'orizzonte?

Posso leggere e trascrivere i valori più precisi se mi comunicate cosa serve leggere

 

grazie per le informazioni


P2V Our SBS2003

$

Hello all

 

We have recently bought a new Dell Host so we can run our entire enviroment on that host.

 

Dell Host w/ESXi 5.1 (it was installed last week).

The host is configured with 2 x 2GHz, 64GB Ram and 8x 600GB SAS in Raid 10 running with Vmware Essentials

We have 4 guest OS currently running:

2 x Winxp

1 x Srv2008 recently P2V

1 x Srv2008 moved from old host/datastorage

the last task I have is to P2V our old SBS2003 which currently runs on a HP ML350G4/5

 

I have on several occasions tried to P2V it and get various errors:

Biosinfo.inf is missing or corrupt, no boot/error just hangs on Black sceen and a general error while running the converter.

As i read some of the posts im quite sure all theese errors are caused by me not following "best practice". Cold P2V was mentioned ...

 

So in short:

If I want to P2V our SBS2003 so I can use Veeam backup software and finally migrate our SBS2003 to SBS2011 what should I do?
I do hope my question make sense and people can contribute

 

Thank you in advance.

 

well did a converter standalone, in AD restore mode. Booting up it complained about biosinfo.inf. Found a WinXP and copied the file to the VMDK C: and started the Virtual SBS2003. Now it boots up. Add a NIC and set it up to the old IP-adresses,  start DNS and server seems up and running. My only issue now is that, it says: found new hardware (lots of PCI to PCI Bridge) which it can't install because of missing drivers. If I run the "install guide" and choose not to install and not to prompt Again it fails on the following boot. For some reason after it with SPTD.SYS error on loading. If I let the "new hardware found" remain untouched everything seems to be running fine. I can logon to Exchange/OWA, Sharepoint, start our Navision, start DHCP, look in DNS ...

Given the 2 above options for a 500 seat Vmware View environment with Windows 7 as the preferred guest OS, which option do you choose and why?

ThinAppConverter.exe Fails

$

So I'm trying to use ThinAppConverter.exe to automate the building of some packages since I can't seem to get Factory to download and work correctly (corrupted downloads).  The problem I'm facing is it fails with an authentication error in VIX.  I noticed it is using the bundled 1.10 VIX, which does not support vSphere 5.x from the documentation.  So I installed 1.13 on the workstation that I am running ThinAppConverter.exe from, which supports up to 5.1 (I'm not at U1 or U1a), but ThinAppConverter.exe still wants to use the bundled 1.10 VIX.  How the heck do I get this to work, or am I jsut hosed on automating ThinApp packaging?

Broken pinned icons

$

We're running Windows 7 SP1 x86 with Persona Management and I'm seeing very strange but easily reproducible behavior with pinned shortcuts on the taskbar. If I log in with a fresh profile, log off, wait for the profile to sync, then log back in I have broken shortcuts pinned on the taskbar. IE, Windows Explorer, etc. Whatever was down there is now just a generic icon that prompts to delete if I click on it. Anybody else run into this? It's a fairly simple base image with current patches, Firefox, Chrome, and Office 2010.

Excessive load balancing requests

$

0

We have 4 esxi 5.0 hosts connected to an EQ ps6000 array. Today, we've seen numerous load balancing messages anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes apart. We usually go for days without these messages. I didn't think too much about it because I was deploying a new windows server vm at the time and had to restart it a lot. When I saw more messages after getting the vm stable, I figured it was wiggy and shut it down. We're still getting the messages. I checked the EQ and saw that the time was off, but I corrected it - still getting messages. I'm still checking, but the connections are from at least 2 hosts I don't see any problems on the hosts when I look at the vi client hardware status or network configs.

 

It's all dell equipment, so I'll call them in the morning, but in the meantime is there something else I can check?

 

Hmmm, just realized it could be a problem with one of the iscsi switches. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Normal: Not Calculated Yet

$

I've had vCOPS implemented at two sites for several months now.  The hosts are all saying "Normal: Not Calculated Yet."  Although, 3 of the 4 hosts at one site look like they are picking up metrics.  The fourth doesn't seem to be collecting the workload metrics, though.  A month ago I did have to follow the KB to get the vCenter health working properly (by deleting com.vmware.converter and cleaning that up).  That seems to have worked...but still everything is saying "Normal: Not Calculated Yet."  Any suggestions?  I'm running vCOPS 5.7 Foundation.

 

Thanks!

Ayuda para adquirir licencia adecuada ESXi.

$

Hola a todos.

 

Estoy comenzando con la virtualización en mi empresa. Actualmente tengo algún equipo virtualizado con ESXi 5.1.

La licencia "free" de ESXi básicamente, viene para un Host de 32GB de memoria y para un CPU físico.

 

Quiero utilizar ESXi 5.1 en un servidor con 2 CPU físicos y 144GB de memoria RAM.

Por el momento, no necesitamos herramientas para mover VM en caliente ni para hacer backups de las mismas.  Tampoco necesito una herramienta para administrar varios ESXi por ahora.

Otra consulta es si el uso de VMware vSphere Client está incluida en la licencia.

 

¿Cual sería el licenciamiento más básico,  para mi servidor?

 

Gracias.

 

powershell: how to determine when guest OS is in steady state after creating new VM?

$

I'm writing a script that creates a new VM from a template and I need to change a file on the guest's hard drive. I believe Copy-VMGuestFile is the right way to do this, but it doesn't seem to work before turning the VM on. So the question is, how can my script decide that the VM is in a steady state, especially since the VM goes through a reboot cycle after first boot and the initial configuration completes? Or is there a better way?

 

If it matters, the target OS is Windows but ultimately I may want to do something very similar on Linux.

VMware Flash Optimizer in IE

$

Hello forum folks. I am hoping that someone may have an answer for a problem that I am seeing in VMware View 5.1.3. On my parent image I have configured the VMware Flash Optimizer in IE add-ons to be enabled. Each time the IE browser is opened on the parent image all the enabled add-ons act as they should (no warnings or enablement flags), but when I produce pools using the same parent and snapshot of the parent when IE is opened I receive a warning / enablement flag regarding VMware Flash Optimizer. I check the browser settings on the pool clone image and the add-on is still showing as enabled. Any help or ideas?

 

Thanks - Wolverine0420

Unable to cancel import drivers task

Hi to everyone,

currently testing Mirage and so far so good very convinced with the product.

I started importing drivers this morning and for some reason the task has been hanging for the last 3 hours and nothing is happening.

In task mornitoring I am unable to cancel it. Option is greyed out.

Would anyone know how to cancel the task in another way ? Maybe a SQL query to kill the task ?

 

Cheers

Centralizing Endpoints is looping

Hello,

 

I'm meeting a problem and I hope someone could help.

 

When I test to centralize an endpoint (centralize + assign a base layer) through a WAN, all's working fine. These machines haveWindows 7 freshly installed

 

When I test this in my LAN, the activty goes by "Initializing Layer Update" next "Layer Update". Theses machines have an image deployed by ghost and have all the apps we needed.

At the end of this, the task restart to "Initializing Layer Update". So it never finish and I can't manage it.

 

Does anybody have already met this problem or have a clue about this ?

 

Thank you by advance.

Kind Regards.

The upside of using a raw device mapping is that I can have a volume greater than 2TB.  What are the issues with these?

With Esxi5 was working fine.

What can I try

Sysprep and Win 2012

Hi,

 

I'm preparing templates to put in catalog for our customers. The tepmlate includes the command slmgr.vbs /skms xx.xx.xx.xx to point to our KMS server.

Since most of them ask how to activate windows, and they usually want to activate Win as soon as possible, I decided to create a very simple batch, let's say, activate_windows.bat, with inside a simply "slmgr.vbs /ato".

The problem I'm encoutering now is that after deploy of template (sysprep), this file that I put on desktop (the simpliest place for customers to find it) disappears.

I know, this is the normal behaviour but... how could I prevent it to delete the bat file?

Thank you

BR

How could I have prevented this?
