We have two applications that us an API to communicate between them.  I'd like to create an AppStack for the API.  The API requires folders and such from the other two applications be present, for a successful install. I'd like to have them all in different AppStacks but Is this a good idea or should i just go ahead with the AppStack i already have that has all three of them in it?  Oh, and how do i get the other two layers to be present, for me to create the API stack?  i haven't been able to do that yet.

Thanks!

So I've been patiently waiting for the "Fully Featured vSphere Client" in the vCenter 6.7u1 release and I finally got a chance to upgrade a lab instance. But it seems to be missing the "vApp Options" tab in the VM configuration dialog. If I switch over to the Flex/Flash client, it exists and works just fine. I verified my VCSA is version 6.7.0.20000, build 10244745 in the VAMI UI. The Functionality Updates for the vSphere Client page claims it should be there as of the 6.7 Update 1 release. What gives?

For reference, this is an example of what I see in the Flash client:

And this is what I see in the HTML5 client:

Hi All,

I seem to be having issues when using uia_plus_profile WV where the start menu will not open.

start menu works when writable volume without profile is attached.

start menu works with normal AppStacks it’s just uia_plus_profile That the start menu doesn’t open.

now we using the following

Windows 10 1709

Appvolumes 2.14

UEM 9.4

Horizon 7.5.1

in my play test environment

ive used the following with same result

windows 10 1709/1803

Appvolumes 2.15

UEM 9.5

Horizon 7.5.1

The WV uia_plus_profile works it’s just the stupid start menu will not open.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I have a central syslog server configured for all hosts. Now I have a lot of debug messages because of the Rhttpproxy

Details:

Rhttpproxy: verbose rhttpproxy [8702B70] [Originator @ 6876 sub = Proxy Req 00099] Resolved endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http16LocalServiceSpecE: 0x0 ******] _serverNamespace = / sdk action = redirect_port = 8307

Does anyone know what that means and what to do so that I do not receive so many messages in the syslog server?

Thx

First I acknowledge  that  Fedora Rawhide is not officially supported.   Nevertheless, WS 15 works great on  that OS with kernel 4.21.0-0.rc0.git1.1.fc30.x86_64.  

If  anybody has gotten WS 15  to compile on a distro using Linux kernel 5.orc1 I would be more than happy to try and confirm.

If anybody at VMware is  working on kernel 5.0 I am attaching a zipped archive of vmware-5455.log and  vmware-apploader-5455.log

Here we go again.  Thanks Linus.   BTW Virtualbox 6.0 fails to compile as well but of course that's another  forum.

I have an NFS datastore on a QNAP, after a network issue due to power failure the datastore is still mounted but not accessible. The QNAP is working properly, network issue has been resolved but now I do not know how to re-mount it. There are 3 VMs on it, including the vCenter Server swap which is now crashed and shows "Read-error on swap device".

What can I do? Should I power off the vCenter Server appliance and any vm and try to delete the datastore?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all

Hoping someone might be able to help me please.

According to the Documentation Centre here, you can create a report of the Protected VM's using the below script:

1. List all protection groups associated with the SRM server.

$srmApi = $srm.ExtensionData

$protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()

2. Generate a report of the protected virtual machines.

$protectionGroups | % {

    $protectionGroup = $_

    $protectionGroupInfo = $protectionGroup.GetInfo()

    # The following command lists the virtual machines associated with a protection group

    $protectedVms = $protectionGroup.ListProtectedVms()

    # The result of the above call is an array of references to the virtual machines at the vSphere API

    # To populate the data from the vSphere connection, call the UpdateViewData method on each virtual machine view object

    $protectedVms | % { $_.Vm.UpdateViewData() }

    # After the data is populated, use it to generate a report

    $protectedVms | %{

        $output = "" | select VmName, PgName

        $output.VmName = $_.Vm.Name

        $output.PgName = $protectionGroupInfo.Name

        $output

    }

} | Format-Table @{Label="VM Name"; Expression={$_.VmName} }, @{Label="Protection group name"; Expression={$_.PgName} }

The problem I am having is in step 1, specifically this part: $protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()

I'm using PowerCLI version VMware-PowerCLI-6.3.0-3639347, and can successfully connect-viserver and subsequently connect-srmserver works too.

The first variable of $srmApi = $srm.ExtensionData is set successfully, but the second returns the error "You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression".

Here's the exact output from the CLI session:

PowerCLI C:\> $protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

At line:1 char:1

+ $protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

PowerCLI C:\>

My end goal is to have a script that will create a list of all SRM protected VM's within the estate, but I would also like to have additional information for the VM's - like vCPU count, vRAM, hostname and OS version for example. I just can't even get over the first hurdle.

Thanks all.

Hi Everyone,

We are facing issue with two of the servers 2012 R2 64-bit. Every one hour time resets on the virtual machines.

Hello there.

As far as I know, PNID is still (for 6.7u1 too) the thing, that could not be changed, as well as the FQDN (well, if FQDN was used during deployment of vCenter, then PNID = FQDN). But then what I can change in configuration -> runtime settings?

I guess "vCenter Server unique ID" is some ID that identifies vCenter within SSO-domain. Okay.

vCenter Server managed address??? Documentation says:

In vCenter Server managed address, enter the vCenter Server system address.

The address can be IPv4, IPv6, a fully qualified domain name, an IP address, or another address format.

What the hell? If I want to change the IP, then I would do it via appliance settings (5480). If I want to change "a fully qualified domain name", then... I can't do it.

vCenter Server name??? Documentation says:

In vCenter Server name, enter the name of the vCenter Server system.

If you change the DNS name of the vCenter Server, you can use this text box to modify the vCenter Server name to match.

Again, what the hell?

What are these settings about?

Hi,

When trying to install ESXi 6.7u1 on SuperMicro SYS-5019A-FTN4 I get following error as soon as installer UI comes up (graphical progress bar appears with black/yellow background). Don't have same problem with ESXi 6.7. Any ideas?

Hi all,

I just need a little help.

I have:

- 5 ESXI hosts version 5.1.0 (3872664)

- 1 Vcenter Server Appliance 5.5.0 (2442329)

I need to upgrade all to latest 5.5 release (U3 I suppose).

Should I upgrade ESXI first, before Vcenter upgrade?

Which procedure do you recommend for ESXI upgrade? Should I proceed with upgrade by disc?

I'm testing vSphere 6.7 FT but I don't find the  .ftgeneration file for the protected VMs.

Wher I can find it ?

Hi all,

My Vsphere isn't showing any of my VM's files however the VM's are available and online?

Not sure whats happened here - Please see screenshot.

Hello,

im having an error when powering on a VM:

Transport (VMDB) error -45: Failed to connect to peer process

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi Team,
We have been successfully running the vcenter backup with the shell script VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation Library Backup Shell Script with few enhancements such as NFS storage end point, logging, email capabilities. As you can see it is a bunch of HTTP GET/POST requests that make up the script. Also, from VAMI(Vcenter Appliance Management Interface Web console) we can manually take backup, which I suspect uses the same API calls (please clarify once.)

I was playing around with the APIs in Postman. My doubts are around the payload that is being sent the job creation API endpoint.

API Endpoint - https://<vcenter address or psc address>/rest/appliance/recovery/backup/job

Http Method - POST

Request Body -

{

    "piece": {

        "location_type": "<Backup Protocol>",

        "comment": "Automatic backup",

        "parts": ["seat"],

        "location": "<backup storage location Backup Protocol URI>",

        "location_user": "Backup Protocol User",

        "location_password": "Backup Protocol User Password"

    }

}

Question:

1. How/Where can I use the "comment" part asked in the body?

2. What is "parts" ? and how/when to use it in real life? (In case of PSC backup it should be a blank list. i.e. "parts":[])

     A little bit about parts -

     There is an API endpoint which gives the available parts for backup

     API Endpoint - https://<vcenter address or psc address>/rest/appliance/recovery/backup/parts

     Http Method - GET

     Response body -

     a. For PSC

{

    "value": [

        {

            "selected_by_default": true,

            "name": {

                "args": [],

                "default_message": "common",

                "id": "com.vmware.applmgmt.backup.common_part_name"

            },

            "description": {

                "args": [],

                "default_message": "Inventory and configuration.",

                "id": "com.vmware.applmgmt.backup.common_part_description"

            },

            "optional": false,

            "id": "common"

        }

    ]

}

    b. For VCenter

{

    "value": [

        {

            "selected_by_default": true,

            "name": {

                "args": [],

                "default_message": "common",

                "id": "com.vmware.applmgmt.backup.common_part_name"

            },

            "description": {

                "args": [],

                "default_message": "Inventory and configuration.",

                "id": "com.vmware.applmgmt.backup.common_part_description"

            },

            "optional": false,

            "id": "common"

        },

        {

            "selected_by_default": true,

            "name": {

                "args": [],

                "default_message": "Stats, Events, Alarms, and Tasks",

                "id": "com.vmware.applmgmt.backup.seat_part_name"

            },

            "description": {

                "args": [],

                "default_message": "Historical data (Statistics, Events and Tasks) in vCenter Server database.",

                "id": "com.vmware.applmgmt.backup.seat_part_description"

            },

            "optional": true,

            "id": "seat"

        }

    ]

}

3. As it is shown in the above response body,

    a. Part ids available for vcenter (2 No.) - seat, common

     b. Part ids available for PSC (1 No.) - common

     Currently the VCenter backup is done using "part":["seat"]

     but as shown in the above response body what happens to the parts in "id":"common" ?

     When I restored the backup, the vcenter looked just fine.

     So I am assuming the "part":["seat"] == "part":["seat", "common"]

     is that correct?

Thank you.
