Import Patches to Repository by PowerShell Script

$

0

Hello,

 

I'd like to keep the device drivers updated in the repository of VUM. Doing this manually is a pain but there is no commandlet to import the patches to the repository. I have a directory with all the zip files sitting in it, how can I script this to get them into the repository?

 

Any ideas welcome.

Scoreboard XML

$
0
0

Hi,

 

ok. Let me explain my issue.

I wan´t to create my own interactive Scoreboard. So far so good.

I have created a copy of the sample scoreboard xml file for my settings.

Now i create a new dashboard and add my NetApp Systems as the beginning entry.

Clicking on one of my systems, a ressource widget start showing me my volumes. Exactly what i wan´t.

Now i add a scoreboard to highline my xml settings. That is also working as aspected.

 

But now, my problems start with the next ressource widget. I create an interaction between the Volume ressource and the new Lun ressource.

After clicking on the volume, the luns are displayed in the ressourc widged perfectly.

But i wan´t now a new scoreboard to highline stuff like lun latency, lun iops ....

 

I am searching the database to find the right attr_key, so that i am able to create my xml file. But, for an example, to highline total_ops for my luns, there is no attr_key file like it is for my volumes.

 

There is one, but it looks like luns:VolumeName|LunName|lun|total_ops

 

On Volume base, the same looks like volume|total_ops.

So i do not have to do any changes to the metric that i am looking for.

 

So i have to create an xml file where the Volumename|LunName thing is automaticly filled up from the ressource that i choose.

Or is it impossible to create such an xml file?

 

Thanks

Frank

VSAN Usage reported in VSPP

VSAN is based on per allocated capacity.

But when reading Product Usage Guide it say:

VSAN.png

 

The confusing part is regarding 1. Why and how should i report these bundles specific to VSAN?

vCloud Service Provider bundle are report automatic by vCloud USage MEter...

 

Can anyone confirm we should just ignore 1.  and report per allicated capacity? Ofcourse ensure the entire vCloud Bundle is reported aswell.

 

Second question, where do i find the allocated capacity?

Installing HBA Drivers for ESXi Hosts

$

We currently have a plan to setup a new vCenter system with our spare essentials plus license, Emulex HBA cards in the DELL gear which we will be making our ESXi hosts.


Can anyone recommend how to configure the HBAS within ESXi, has anyone previously installed Emulex HBA drivers into a ESXi host?


Setting the ESXi host up shouldnt be a problem but it is just installing the drivers into ESXi which I am puzzled about.

Mount Datastore Error

I have VMware ESXi version 5.0.0, my ESXi running in Server HP Proliant DL 180 GB (Memory 24GB, HDD 2TB + 2TB - RAID1[Mirroring]), my ESXi server contains 8 server (mail server, Active Directory, Spark, Core Banking, FTP, AntiVirus, WebServer, and Absent).

 

The Problem is last week i shutdown my server (enter maintenance mode and shutdown) and then yesterday i try to turn on my server again, i login with vsphere client and i see my status server (8 server) is "Unknown (Inaccessible)" so i try to look in configuration -> storage -> Right click datastore for unmount, when i want to mount again, error occurs.

 

The errors is

(Call "HostStorageSystem.

MountVmfsVolume" for object "storageSystem" on ESXi "192.168.2.245" failed.
Operation failed, diagnostics report: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Not supported. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information")

Please advice ASAP because this is operasional server and i don't have a backup.

Could not find VIContainer with name 'host2'.

 

(The ESXimachine is in maintenance mode.)

 

I am using:

Any solutions?

 

Thanks

The event occurred about 20:30 21:10 hours I am adding vmkernel.log

Clone all-in-one VMS that are Domain/Exchange/Sharepoint

The computer name has to be the same after every clone, but I want the IP's to be different for obvious reasons.  Is there anyway to bypass the name changing in VCAC?  Also no sysprep.  I am looking for some ideas.

 

Thank you

How is VM vRAM usage calculated in details?

$
0
0

Hi there

 

Can anyone help me with getting some information about how the "official" calculation is done inside vCloud Usage Meter?

 

I’m discussing how to have different report from VSPP partners.

When and how roundup /down are done. If they are used.

 

To illustrate it, here is an example:

 

6 VMs running 24/7 in a month with 30 days.

1x VM1 = 1024 mb vRAM (Totalt vRAM = 737280 mb vRAM)

5x VM2 = 768 mb vRAM  (Totalt vRAM = 2764800 mb vRAM)

 

When is it needed to calc it to GB? (Divide it with 1024)

Will a VM with 768 mb have a cost of less than 5/7/10 points?

 

Assuming vCloud Usage Meter take the total of all VMs, and calculates from that.


Using Monthly usage reports:

I take the totals amount of vRAM of all VMs

737280 + 2764800 = 3502080 mb vRAM

1290240 / 1024 = 3420 gb vRAM

1260 / 720 = 4,75 gb vRAM avg used

(In this example using 5 points) will this then be

 

5 x 4,75 gb vRAM         = 23,75 points

Or

5 x 5 gb vRAM = 25 points (Roundup at the GB level before calc points)

Or

5 x 5 gb vRAM = 25 points (Roundup / down at the GB level before calc points)

Or

5 x 4,75 gb vRAM         = 24 points (Roundup points from 23,75 points)

Or

5 x 4,75 gb vRAM         = 24 points (Roundup / down points from 23,75 points)

 

 

Here comes the tricky one:

Using Customer Summary Reports

Customer A are only using 3x VM2.

1658880 / 1024 = 1620 gb vRAM

 

1620 / 720 = 2,25 gb vRAM avg used

 

5 x 2,25 gb vRAM         = 11,25 points

Or

5 x 3 gb vRAM = 15 points (Roundup at the GB level before calc points)

Or

5 x 2 gb vRAM = 10 points (Roundup / down at the GB level before calc points)

Or

5 x 2,25 gb vRAM         = 12 points (Always roundup points)

Or

5 x 2,25 gb vRAM         = 11 points (Roundup / down points)

 

 

Customer B are only using 1x VM1 and 2x VM2.

1843200 / 1024 = 1800 gb vRAM

 

1800 / 720 = 2,5 gb vRAM avg used

 

5 x 2,5 gb vRAM           = 12,5 points

Or

5 x 3 gb vRAM = 15 points (Roundup at the GB level before calc points)

Or

5 x 3 gb vRAM = 15 points (Roundup / down at the GB level before calc points)

Or

5 x 2,25 gb vRAM         = 13 points (Rounded up points)

Or

5 x 2,25 gb vRAM         = 13 points (Roundup / down points)

 

 

Total points using Customer reporting vs Usage Report: (depending on calc method)

  • Customer Reporting      Usage Report
  • 23,75 points                    23,75    points Using decimals
  • 30 points                         25 points Roundup at the GB level before calc points
  • 25 points                        25 points Roundup / down at the GB level before calc points
  • 25 points                        24 points Rounded up points
  • 24 points                        24 points Roundup / down points


And this assumes it is calculated from total vRAM.

If its calculated pr VM > points, then its even more complicated.

USB Passthrough of smart card reader

We now require smart cards for admin accounts which presents a problem for me when trying to connect in from home on my Mac.  I'm not trying or expecting to use a smart card on my Mac to authenticate to View.  I use RSA and my non-admin account for View authentication.  I'm just trying to "mount" a USB smart card reader to pass through to my virtual desktop.  The problem is that despite trying 3 different smart card readers, none of them show up in the USB device pass through list.  I see all the built-in Mac devices as well as USB thumb drives, but not the smart card readers.  Is there a way to make this work?

VMware Tools stuck installing and no usual method to kill installation works

$

Hi,

we have a few VMs with VMware Tools status in progress but we are unable to kill installation with any known method, we tried "get-vm vmName | Dismount-Tools" and at ESXi command line with:

# vim-cmd vmsvc/tools.cancelinstall <vmID>

but it was unsuccessful.

 

Perhaps the virtual cdrom (iso image) is hung somewhere? But I'm sure that no local process is locking device, I stopped EVERY process on the guest OS. In fact, only rebooting the VM (not the guest OS) unlocks the situation.

 

Any help?

 

Thanks in advance

Планирование резервного копирования при помощи VDP

Доброе время суток коллеги!

 

До покупки Veeam, развернул 3 экземпляра VDP, не Advanced.

VDP экземпляры развернуты на отдельной FC СХД, по 2 Tb.

Есть несколько вопросов:

1. Машин около 150-и, каким образом можно рассчитать сколько машин пихать в один VDP экземпляр? копии надо будет хранить 30 дней. Как вы планировали?

2. Есть 2 машины (файловые помойки) довольно огромного размера 800Gb и 2Tb, как лучше бэкапить их? VDP ведь долго "переваривать" будет? может другими средствами?

3. Среди машин встречается Lotus Domino который надо бы дополнительно реплицировать, что посоветуете для этого?

 

P.S. Забавный баг нашел во время первичной настройки. Если в консоли выставить наш часовой пояс GMT+11, то время неправильное и бэкапы запускаются днем, а не ночью.

А вот если в консоли часовой пояс выставлен GMT-11, то в vCenter часовой пояс показывает правильный GMT+11.

Если же выбрать регион Asia\Sakhalin, то вообще после перезагрузки не стартует сервис... вот такие веселые баги =))

I have a windows 2008 Server on Esx 4.1.0.

Yesterday after an aprupt stop of the server , the server restart shows the VMware tools with a cross and so the same for the network icon.

While I can ping using the IP address for the server.

The VMWARE tool service fails to start

 

Any suggestion or advice is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Yosemite's hypervisor framework & Fusion?

$
0
0

Buried in Apple's Yosemite docs with little detail is:

 

  • Hypervisor (Hypervisor.framework). The Hypervisor framework allows virtualization vendors to build virtualization solutions on top of OS X without needing to deploy third-party kernel extensions (KEXTs). Included is a lightweight hypervisor that enables virtualization of the host CPUs.

 

A search here turned up nothing. Anyone know (and can say) what this might mean for Fusion? Will Fusion use it? Will it mean we get 3D acceleration via it? Etc. Etc.
