Bad controller maybe. Rebuild controller cluster?

0
0

Hi. We 1 controller VM that has disconnected twice from the controller cluster in the last two months. We see vCenter alarms pointing to high memory usage maybe a week before it happens.

 

I opened a ticket and was told to rebuild the entire controller cluster, ie delete and install all 3 nsx controllers again. The ticket closed, and I forgot to ask if I can just delete this one node, because I remember several months ago during a fail over test, we are cross-site setup, when we failed back I inadvertantly deleted a primary controller instead of one at our secondary site when we were failing back. It got in a weird state so I think I deleted the VM actually. So I am not sure I screwed the database up on NSX or not.

 

Anyway I may open the ticket back up to give that information.

 

I am just hesitant to rebuild the entire cluster, and yes I know turning off DRS it should be no issue. I just wanted to try to delete this 1 controller first clenaing and redeploy it. Looking for any comments. Thanks,,,

OOTB workflow contains leading and trailing delimiters. How can I strip them out?

0
0

When attempting to use an OOTB workflow (Create_a_user_group_in_an_organizational_unit), the workflow fails with the following error:

The following component requests failed: Create_a_user_group_in_an_organizational_unit_1. Unable to convert object, '#_v2_#,#UserGroup#,#8593bfaa-6376-4f90-a4bd-8314e96b0224#,#CN=[\"******\"],OU=****,OU=****,DC=****,DC=****#' plugin unexcepted exception : null

The object is created in AD, but with all of the leading [\" and trailing \"].  (AD doesn't like this!). The generated machine name is correct, just has leading and trailing delimiters.

I'm calling the workflow from the blueprint output of Machine Name. 

Any thoughts on how to strip those characters out would be greatly appreciated.

VDP Command question

Hi does anyone know the command to watch an active backup inside VDP in real time?

I remember once there was a command I was able to run that there would be an automatic refresh every X seconds and I would be able to see what the backup is doing

 

I think it was some variation of mccli activity show | grep Running

Anyone know?

Issue after resizing datastore from GUI

0
0

Hi,

 

I'm trying to solve the same problem and running into the same issue. Unfortunately I don't find a solution here and I want to ask if there has been news about this particular problem.

 

One of my servers in my homelab was slowly running out of physical space and I have extended my virtual disk by 4TB which went fine after my H700 controller was busy the last 4 days. As the next step I've extended the Datastore via the GUI, but that did only half of the job.

 

I've ended up with my partition fully resized from 5,6TB to 9.09TB.

 

esxi1.jpg

But - same issue as the TO - the shown capacity is still the old value of 5.45 TB:

 

esxi2.jpg

 

The "vmkfstools --growfs" command is just broken, I'm getting the same stupid error as the TO. The partition 3 of naa.xxxx shows at the right size:

But the "growfs" command fails:

 

[root@VMServer2:/dev/disks] vmkfstools --growfs "naa.6782bcb0349bdb00ff00005f05e6a18e:3" "naa.6782bcb0349bdb00ff00005f05e6a18e:3"
Not found
Error: No such file or directory

 

I'm pretty sure to use the right syntax for the "vmkfstools" command - what am I doing wrong? And how can I get the capacity of my datastore fixed, so that it uses the additional 3.6TB which is already in the partition?

Linked Mode vCenter 6.5 VCSA

0
0

Hi Mates,

 

I am looking to enable Linked Mode on 6.5 VCenters ( VCSA Appliances)  between my Prod & DR site. They currently live on separate SSO Domains in 2 different sites/networks.

 

I now want to get them linked using linked mode. Both are with External PSC's.

 

So I believe we need to un install 1 external PSC and re-deploy the same to keep them both in same SSO domain? Correct me if I am wrong or if there is an alternative without disruption?

 

Also will Linked Mode have any implications to SRM(Vsphere Replication) & VDP?

 

Will appreciate all your thoughts.Thanks in Advance

Sree

High Sierra and Fusion "stuck" keys

0
0

Hi to all,

inside the Windows VM, sometimes when I strike Ctrl+c, some seconds after I release the key combination it results in typing repeatedly "cccccccccccccc..." or after having struck Ctrl+v it results in "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv..." and it doesn't stop until I press another key. It happens with the delete key or the tab key, too.

This happens very frequently (an average of once every 2 - 3 minutes, but it can happen twice in a minute or more) but randomly and in combination with a "special key" (i.e. Ctrl, Delete, End, Backslash, etc.) and is VERY, VERY annoying.

Almost every time that this happens, I noticed that when I press the ESC key, it opens up the Windows Start Menu.

To "re-enable" a (temporary) correct working state of the keyboard, I have to repeatedly press ESC, then repeatedly press CTRL, then repeatedly press the Windows key, then repeatedly press the ALT key. After that, I can continue working for a couple of minutes befor it happens again

It started happening as I upgraded to High Sierra (from El Capitan) and to Fusion 10.0.0 (and it's upgrade to 10.0.1) from fusion 8.x.

I later downgraded to Fusion 8.5.8 (ev. upgraded to 8.5.9) to resolve the CAPS LOCK issue, but this one remained, unfortunately.

In the meantime I have upgraded Windows 10 on both my VMs to version 1709 (OS build 16299.64) from Version 1703 (OS build 15063.674), but the issue remains.

This is making me NUTS, I cannot work anymore and I am a bit desperate.

This issue seems only to happen inside the VMs, not in the Mac host.

 

I already tried switching keyboard with a Mac one (usb), but the problem stays the same.

I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling last version of vmware Tools, with no success

I already tried searching on the internet for a solution, but until now, no tweak has worked for me.

 

Can someone help me, please?

 

Info:

Mac (27-inch, Late 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Osx: 10.13.1 High Sierra

Fusion: 8.5.9 (7098239)

VM: Windows 10, Version 1709 (OS build 16299.64)

The defect happens when you try to power on any GUEST - whether Windows or Linux Guests.

 

Any known fixes yet

Network Settings greyed out - everything else ok

0
0

I have done a upgrade to 10.10 and Fusion 7

 

Everything has been fine, and I created a new custom vmnet, and some VMS - almost had everything working.

 

During the third VM that I made, I realised I needed to change the network so it was in the same vmnet.

Anyway, in the settings for the network its all greyed out - but all other settings for the VM are fine.

 

I figured it was a problem just for this VM, but no, all the VMs have the sam issue!

 

Also when I go to the Fusion preferences, and go to the network tab - all this is greyed out too. The other tabs are ok.

 

It seems as though just the networking element of fusion is broken - all VMs work fine - I just can change VM settings, or add new VMs due to the same issue.

 

Any ideas?

 

Ive tried stopping and starting the services... no luck

the log did reflect that vmnet-bridge is already running.

 

I also wonder if it has anything to do with Cisco Any Connect client that I have - this has carried over from the update from 10.9 to 10.10 - and when I connected to the VPN there was an auto update - though this may not be related at all.

 

Any ideas?

TIA

Can't see datastore after reinstall of the Host 6.0

0
0

Hello Everyone;

 

I have this seriously weird issue. A sister company of ours is running a 6.0 host but yesterday when 1 of the support tried to access the host he couldnt connect with the root. They assumed it was lockout and decided to log in from the console to no avail. as they were discussing what to do VMs started to crash and they have decided the fastest thing to do was to reinstall the host and re-mount the VMs. They have 1 RAID 0 for the host and a RAID 5 for the VMs. Even thou they have successfully reinstalled 6.0 for some reason the system doesnt see the datastore but does see the disk as VMFS. We have run partedUtil to see if there was any corruption and there was none. GPT has no Errors but for some reason we cant seem to get the system to see the datastore on the disk. Since they, for some reason, dont have a back-up since december and 1 of the VMs have some pretty important data they need it.

Whatever I tried didnt helped and I got invested cause of weirdness. If any1 had any similar issues that can shed some light I appreciate it.

 

Thank You,


What is the native hba driver in esxi 6.5?

0

I am having problems with my ESXi 6.5, it keeps complaining about the raid controller and it disconnects the LUN more often.

 

The raid controller that is installed is Megaraid SAS 9271-4i and the native controller that was installed 7.703.15.00-1OEM.XXXX. When I researched that version in the internet, it shows that it is meant for LSI Megaraid 12gbps family (which is for 93XX)

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI65-AVAGO-LSI-MR3-77031500-1OEM&productId=614

 

While on the manufacturer's website

https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/raid-controllers/megaraid-sas-9271-4i#downloads

And it's telling me to use this driver "lsi-mr3-7.702.14.00-1OEM"

ESXi 6.5

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESX65-AVAGO-SAS-LSI-MR3-77021400-1OEM&productId=614

 

 

I am not sure if the native driver 7.703.15.00-1OEM.XXXX is compatible with Megaraid SAS 9271-4i and I am thinking that this is the reason why I am having this issue.  

 

Please help, I am having this issue for months now.

I am seeing in the server that the LSI Megaraid 9271-4i SAS driver that was installed during the vmware installation has the version 7.703.15.00-1OEM.XXXX. When I researched that version in the internet, it shows that it is meant for LSI Megaraid 12gbps family (which is for 93XX)https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI65-AVAGO-LSI-MR3-77031500-1OEM&productId=614 While in the manufacturers websitehttps://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/raid-controllers/megaraid-sas-9271-4i#downloads It's telling me to use this driver ESXi 6.5https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESX65-AVAGO-SAS-LSI-MR3-77021400-1OEM&productId=614

Delay Problem with External Connections

0

Hey,

 

i just deployed a fresh new Horizon View Conncetion Server. (Latest Version)

To test our new Hardware, i just setup an Windows 10 LTSB 2016 VM (Problem occurs with every Windows 10 Versions like Windows 10 Enterprise, LTSC 2019 etc.)

 

The problem is, if i connect to that VM (doesn't matter which Protocol) on Lan, everything works fine.

But if i connect through the Internet (tested several connections (SiteToSite VPN, PC from Home, etc.) and i start moving explorer or any other window form left to right corner of the monitors, for the first 2-3 seconds its completly smooth, but then, its extremly jerky. After i just do nothing for a few seconds, and move the window just a little bit it is smooth again. If i just start to move around it is jerky again.

So it seemed for me, it might be a connection bottleneck. So i tested around with GPOs. but there was no difference (60 FPS Max, min. and max Bandwidth, Quality High and Low etc.)

I tested with 1-3 Monitors, High and Low Resolutions. The issue appears just a second later.

The weird thing is, the Horizon Performence Tracker is just showing the 20-24 ms for the connection.

 

But if you take a look at my specs, i can't see where it is.

Or something is thwarting the connection

 

Has anyone an idea where my problem is ?

 

Specs:

 

Horizon View Server :

8 Cores (Intel Gold 6136 3GHz)

16 GB RAM

80 GB SSD

Lan Connection : 1 Gbit

Internet Connection: 100MBit up and down

 

Horizon Desktop:

8 Cores (Intel Gold 6136 3GHz)

8 GB RAM

70 GB SSD

Nvidia Tesla M10 - Profile 1B (Latest Drivers on Desktop and ESXi)

 

If you need more Info, just write it, and i'll post them.

 

Thanks for the Help!

Purple Screen with DELL QLogic qle8152

Goodnight,

 

 

I recently tried testing with Esxi 6.5 and 6.7 on a Dell R610 server. but I get a purple screen when I install my card:

DELL QLogic qle8152 10 Gb Dual Port PCI-E

The card works correctly, in fact it was working on a Redhat.

But when I install it on the Dell R610 Server, it does not allow me to continue with the installation.

 

 

I appreciate if someone from the community can give me help on this topic.
