Restore Client - login to

$

Hi,

 

VDP 6.1. I'm studying how to do file level recovery and Admin Guide says I must access the VDP Restore Client:

https://<IP_address_of _VDP_appliance>:8543/flr

It's asking me for username and password ("Basic mode") and I don't understand what I must to enter.

 

When I use the same credentials that are OK in

ttps://<VDP_Appliance>:8543/vdp-configure/

- default username root and password, Restore Client says:

"Login failed. Cannot locate vm in vCenter". Which vm ? Must I configure something first ?

We are using kickstart (and puppet) to deploy linux servers, the problem is – there is no DHCP on our network. Is there a way to automate the linux provisioning?

All info I could find is that I must use DHCP for kickstart.

Hi there !

 

I'm on ESXi 6.0

 

Here my issue: When I want to access to my vm settings or consol I got the following error

 

"Appel "EnvironmentBrowser.QueryConfigOption" pour l'objet "1-envmgr" sur ESXi "192.168.20.4" a échoué."

In english : Call "EnvironmentBrowser.QueryConfigOption" for "1-envmgr" on ESXi "192.168.20.4" failed.

 

I try to reboot the ESXi host but didn't work !

 

So I search for log and here what I got from C:\Users\MySelf\AppData\Local\VMware\vpx

Get-ContentLibraryItem doesn't work

Hello,

 

I just installed PowerCLI 6.3 Release 1, in order to get 'Get-ContentLibraryItem' cmdlet available.

After launching the console, and connect to a vCenter, I run 'Get-ContentLibraryItem' command but, nothing happens.

The console doesn't return anything and it's like stuck. I can't even stop the command by CTRL+C.

 

It works for the other commands with no issue (get-vm, get-vmhost, and so on).

 

Has anybody been able to get content library information via PowerCLi?

 

If anybody can help, no idea how to troubleshoot this issue.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Does player support suspend on host shutdown?

$

Does VMware player (I'm using version 7.1.4) support suspending the running VMs when the host OS (Windows 7) is shut down (or the user logs off)?

 

I just tried to shutdown the host and Window tells me the VMWare Player processes are holding the process.

 

I could swear this worked on the other computer, but that might have been VirtualPC and not VMWare Player. So someone please just confirm if VMware has this feature or not.

Thanks.

Edge Gateway Rules Overwritten/Deleted

$
0
0

Hi Guys,

 

Not sure if I'm going at this the correct way but the challenge we have is creating rule sets within new Edge devices, each devices needs 30-40 rules to be configured.

 

To better manage this i started adding the required rules from vShield Manager rather than vCloud Director console as you can use predefined  groups for source, destination and service making the config much quicker.

 

The problem is if you add any rules though vShield Manager on the Edge Gateway firewall tab they are removed any time you edit the Edge in vCloud Director.

 

Dose anyone have any experience with this or have a good way to template, automate or improve the provisioning process of Edge devices?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Alex

Snapshot Memory Defaults can they be changed to be False?

$
0
0

I am using VMware 5.5, but this question I guess applies to 4.1 as well. I have issues with both Backup Exec and Veeam taking snapshots that include memory. This results in snapshots taking a long time and delaying the backup runs. It also has impact on some time sensitive applications (e.g. JDE) which then stop after the snapshot.

 

I understand the default is for snapshots to be taken with memory; thus any 3rd party backup tool that just requests a snapshot via the API will take a snapshot with memory.

I also understand that if I manually take a snapshot and un tick the memory option then subsequent backups (of that system), and snapshots will run without memory.

 

What I want to be able to do is to change the default behaviour of snapshots at the vCenter or ESXi host level so that I can turn off memory on all VM snapshots without taking a snapshot.

 

Is this possible? If so, how would I do it.

Hello,

 

As far as I know, there is no possibility to backup and restore an individual Edge VM on vShield Manager interface. But it should be possible with PowerCLI scripts with VSM API.

If anyone had already done this, it would be appreciated if he can share this with the community

Switch values for 'VC:X' type parameters based on parameter value of type 'VC:Datacenter'

$
0
0

Hello All,

 

I am looking for a way to switch values for input parameters of the type 'VC:X' based on the value of an input parameter of type 'VC:Datacenter'.  Consider the following: 

 

The "Clone thin provisioned..." workflow requires among other input, a Datastore and VMFolder.  Our software R & D vCenter implementation places users from distinct business units into distinct datacenters to assist with logical grouping as well as acting as a cost center.  The idea is that by prompting for the datacenter to which a user belongs, the workflow would then map/script/hardcode that clones would therefore be created in storage and VM folders belonging to that datacenter.  Down the road, there are additional 'VC:X' type variables that I will need to map as I work further with VMs.  VC:Network and VC:HostSystem would seem to be among them. 

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on how input parameters of type 'VC:X' may be mapped by way of a specified VC:Datacenter parameter?

- I could simply expose each parameter of type 'VC:X' but that is a lot of drilling for user input when something could be mapped 'by definition' - especially if you consider my earlier post about specifying a root object from the web client apparently not working. 

- I could maintain multiple copies of the "Clone thin provisioned..." workflow, hard code each input of type 'VC:X' to an attribute, and then add those elements as required - but that seems like a lot of unnecessary duplication.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thank you

Failure to create a build profile from an existing VM

Use vRealize Operations to get VM snapshots and date taken

Hi,

 

I'm using vROPs 6.2 and I'm building health reports. One of the things that we really would like to know is which VMs have a snapshot and what date the snapshot was created on. I'm halfway there with the "Disk Space|Snapshot Space" Metric. However I cannot figure out if it is possible to tie a date to when the snapshot was created.

 

Is it possible to use vROPs to find a date when a snapshot was taken? and if so could you provide me some pointers?

I've tried two email addresses, multiple times, and am still not receiving the email with the license key for activation (VMware Server 2.0.2 for Windows).  I've sent test emails from outside addresses to each of my email addresses, and those get through fine, so it seems that the emails are not being generated.  When I registered for the second address, I received a new account email from vmware.com almost immediately, so other emails from vmware are getting through.  I see from searches that this has been issue in the past, as well.
