6.5 shows warning for hardware

$

0

We're updating our GEN10 HPe servers and we're getting errors now.

 

I've attached a screen shot, but we're seeing

 

[device] I/O module 1 ALOM_Link_P4

 

 

This wasn't here until we did the firmware upgrade on the server, and we had nothing but problems with the old firmware dropping connections to VMs, and causing network hell.

 

We obviously don't want warnings showing up, suggestions?

error during quiescing

I have asked a question in the past about quiescing and I know I was told where to turn it off. But what if I need quiescing to work? What options do I have

 

Here is the full errro

 

The guest OS has reported an error during quiescing. The error code was 5. The error message was VssSybStart operation failed: ( Dispatch error #8723 (0x80042413)

Fail with "snapshot creation failed, status 156 WRN

When we enabled the quiesce option then snapshot is failing with below error, without quiesce its working fine.

 

 

“fail with "snapshot creation failed, status 156 WRN - ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is not frozen " Quiescing”

 

Troubleshooting performed:

 

  1. Services restarted,
  2. VM tools re-installed with VSS stopped state.
  3. Vssadmin list writers cleared
  4. Vssadmin list providers cleared
  5. Vssadmin list shadows cleared
  6. Rebooted the server several times

 

Thanks advance.

Audio Volume control using UEM + set default other then 100%

A few of our VDI users are complaining about UEM not saving there adjusted audio volume. I have not yet found a way to save this using UEM, is this even possible?

 

Besides that, the same users are also complaining about the default volume level being set to 100% every morning (floating desktops). Does someone have any tips about changing this in our golden image?

powercli 10 connect-viserver error method not found

Hello,

 

I am having a bit of a challenge getting PowerCLI 10 to connect to my vCenter server (VCSA 6.0 U3). When I run the Connect-VIServer command I get the following error:

 

Connect-VIServer : Method not found: 'Void VMware.Binding.Sts.VmwareSecruityTokenService..ctor(System.Uri)'.

At line:1 char:1

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.MissingMethodException,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.ConnectVIServ

   er

 

I thought the error was due to an invalid certificate, but running Get-PowerCLIConfiguration you can see I have it set to ignore:

 

PS C:\> Get-PowerCLIConfiguration

The connect fails after I input my vCenter credentials using both AD credentials and SSO Administrator. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks in Advance!

Ransomware Vulnerability?

$
0
0

I was thinking about the UEM share for the user's profile data and the associated risk to a ransomware attack. It seems that if the user's files are stored on a central file share (with other users) that they're more at risk to a widespread ransomware attack, whereas user data that's stored in a writeable volume or via some other form of persistence is less at risk since the data is harder to get at and is stored in more isolated data silos. In the event ransomware got into the UEM share it could quickly wipe out everyone's user data.

 

I've experienced ransomware attacks in the past and typically whoever contracts the virus has the data on their machine encrypted as well as an network shares they have access to. Since access to other people's machines is not shared then the attack is limited to the scope of the user's network access (e.g. file shares/mapped network drives).

 

Any thoughts or experiences worth sharing? If there are precautions that I haven't thought of yet I'd love to implement them sooner rather than later. :-)

Unable to create the installation medium - Sierra Host, High Sierra Guest

Just updated to Fusion 10.0.1 and I'm trying to setup a High Sierra Guest on my Sierra machine. On installation I get an error stating that it's "Unable to create the installation medium".

 

I recall seeing something similar with Fusion 8 and the Sierra developer previews, but as High Sierra is apparently supported as I guest I'm surprised that I'm getting this error.

 

How do you install a High Sierra Guest, before I installed a Sierra Guest and then upgraded but surely that should no longer be necessary.

Hi All,

 

I have a VMware workstation 15 server that was working yesterday.  Today, it stopped.  Its not listed under My Comupter.  When I try to Open it using "Open a Virtual Machine" click on  the .vmx file, nothing happens.

 

I have attached the .log file and the image of the directory.

 

How can I get this server back?

 

Please help!! Thanks,

Hardware status is displayed as "unknown" for certain sensors HPE G9 ESXi 6.5U2c with vCenter 6.5 Build 8815520

Hi all,

 

On  vCenter 6.5 Build 8815520 (appliance), Hardware status is displayed as "unknown" for certain sensors on HPE G9 ESXi 6.5U2c.

I used the last custom iso provided by HP (VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-Update2-9298722-HPE-preGen9-650.U2.9.6.8.3-Sep2018.iso) and I upgraded the HPE G9 with the last SPP also provided by HP (P11740_001_spp-2018.11.0-SPP2018110.2018_1114.38.iso).

 

Screenshot from vCenter ==>

Screenshot from Host ==>

 

I tried a lot of tips but nothing works.

 

Any idea ?

 

Or do I need to open a ticket to HPE or VMware ?

 

Thanks for help

Need help in deployment of collapsed Compute and Edge cluster - NSX-T2.3

$

Hello,

 

I am new to NSX-T but i understand the concepts as i have been working on NSX-V for quite some time now. I am planning to deploy a collapsed Edge and compute cluster. All hosts in the cluster have 4NICs. 2 NICs will be kept for VDS and 2 NICs for N-VDS. Could anyone point me to any deployment example like this where i can get to know from start how many transport zones i will have to create and how may N-VDS to be created while creating a host as transport node.

 

Also, i am planning to deploy Edges behind N-VDS and not behind VDS so any document for pre-requisite or steps would help?

 

Thanks,

Amit

New to VMWare on Mac. 'Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe.' ... 'Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.' ERROR

$
0

Downloaded VMWare this afternoon after reading/hearing about how good it is after experiencing some frustration with VirtualBox.

 

Paid 70 pounds, downloaded and installed ... upon first attempt of setting-up a Windows VM, I get the 'Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe' error, try again with Linux Mint and get the same.

 

Reading these forums, it says lots about granting access through security settings which I have done.  These weren't set so I made the changes and re-started but the error was still there.

 

I then attempted to uninstall the program to reinstall it ... this was also problematic as the program is not easy to fully remove - even with the removal instructions that uses the finder to remove hidden library files.  Upon re-installation, things are still there from the first installation which suggests not everything had been removed.  Two re-installations later and the error still comes up.

 

Could anybody please tell me how I even get support from VMWare?  The 'get support' page asks me to select the program I require, but it is not listed in my account profile, despite me purchasing it from the account.

 

Help needed.  Just paid 70 pounds for something that doesn't work.

 

Mac OS Mojave 10.14 MBP 15in mid-2014

 

Many thanks,

 

Michael

Brand new vmware ESXI 6.7.0.8169922

vsphere 6.7.0.1150 Build 9433921

 

I keep getting a message Host Hardware system board status. I have acknowledge and even reset to green but the error keeps coming back.

 

Dell is reporting no errors on the server and if we log into the esxi server directly there are no errors

 

Any ideas?
