reporting on Reservation usage.

Hi,

 

     I'm trying to get at the 'in use' capacity for a reservation via vRO or The API , and can't seem to find this anywhere, can anyone Help?

 

Within vRO , I can get the reservation capacity.... but not the amount 'in use' via the 'vCACReservation'

I can 'get the BusinessGroup Capacity/Usage via vCACCAFEBusinessGroup

 

But my issue is the BusinessGroups comprise of multiple reservations on different Farms, So I need to break down the usage by reservation so I can see if any individual Reservation is approaching capacity.

 

Basically, I want to be able to pull the data that's displayed in the GUI in 'Infrastructure/Reservations/Reservations'

 

 

          Thanks,

 

                    John,

Web Management console logon error

Hi,

 

We are currently using Mirage Version 5.6 and are hoping to upgrade to Version 5.8 to take advantage of the Windows 10 support.

 

Currently, we are not using the  Web Management Console and as it is an important tool with the latest releases we decided to try and install it. We downloaded the relevant msi file (mirage.WebManagement.x64.130302 - the 5.8 version) and this installed ok so we get the expected login screen.

However, when we try and login we get the following error:

Any ideas to solve this would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks

ESXi 5.5 Dell Version 5.5.0-1623099

Dell R715, iDRAC 6.

 

I connect to iDRAC console over SSH.

From iDRAC console I want to reach ESXi console.

For this purpose I have set following in BIOS: https://s31.postimg.org/5gn927oyz/Dell_Bios.png

Dell_Bios.png

 

Then, uder iDRAC I have set following:

 

    racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialBaudRate 9600

    racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialCom2RedirEnable 1

    racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialSshEnable 1

    racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol -o cfgIpmiSolEnable 1

    racadm config -g cfgIpmiSol -o cfgIpmiSolBaudRate 9600

 

 

That should allow me in iDRAC to execute: console com2 and access ESXi console (text).

Instead of that I have blank screen. Here is an example: https://s31.postimg.org/8ivyc7hej/console.png

console.png

 

Did anyone managed hoe to do that or see what mistake I did here ?

Linux VM Build without DHCP

Hi All,

 

We have Linux VM Kickstart provisioning working in DHCP environment. Now need to build in non DHCP environment. One option is to build ISO for each request with ISO containing network identity( ip, gateway, dns etc). This means creating ISO and then uploading ISO to the datastore and attaching it to the VM during "building machine". Then clean up after the build. Is there a easier way to do it? Like attach generic ISO and provide network during run time.

 

Thanks in advance.

Logoff - not detaching AS or WV

We have an odd scenario. Running a fresh install of AV 2.11

Win7 VDI Linked clones w/Horizon View 6.2.2

 

Everything appears to work fine when a user logs off, however we discovered if a user disconnects and leaves a stale session things go sideways.

We configured Horizon View to logoff users (thus triggering a dismount of AS and WV) stale sessions after 5 minutes.

 

Horizon View appears to do its job, logging off the user and making the VDI available. However that logoff process triggered by View is not causing AV to dismount. A review of the AV agent log on the VDI at the time of dismount reveals what I believe is the issue:

 

User logout URL: /user-logout?name=svservice&uuid=423321d7-aae0-1cf1-650c-0c679f715bf8&status=0&osver=6.1.7601&sp=1.0&suite=256&product=1&arch=9&proc=1&agentver=2.11.0.83U&username=XXXX&domain=XXX&userdomain=XXX&workstation=XXXX&machinesid=S-1-5-21-457945878-1175663176-964313020

Before you ask yes ports 443 and 80 have been verified as open. After Horizon View shows the VDI as available after logging the user off AV manager still shows the stack and writable volume attached.

Thoughts?? Suggestions?

end_request: critical nexus error, dev sdh

Hi,

 

We have Oracle RAC 11.2.0.4 installation with ASM disks on Red Hat 6.5 VMs ( 2 node Oracle RAC installation). We are seeing the below error in rhel VMs /var/log/messages. It seems there is an I/O issue to the shared disks and as a result RAC database instance are crashing. Oracle support and Red hat support points the disk is not configured concurrent writes, and that's why this issue is happening.

 

We followed this VMware doc to setup the Oracle RAC instance.  Please advise if anyone has faced the same issue and found a solution for this.

Hi all,

 

I have a VM for DragonFly BSD. It runs on a laptop on Windows 7 Pro and the virtual machine files, including the disks, are on a NTFS compressed folder.

After some time the VM stopped working because it can't access the VMDK file:

I have tried to repair it and even though it reports the problem as fixed the VM still can't start up correctly or right after it does the problem occurs.

While at a customer site, carrying out a VOA (VMware Optimization Assessment) using vRealize Operations 6.3.0.4276418 and using the latest VOA reports pack, I can only generate phase 1,2,3 reports with an CSV format.

In version 6.2.1  I was able to generate PDF reports without any error.

In the status column the phase 1 report says "completed partially"

When deselecting the CSV format and selecting the PDF format, the result of generating the report has the status "failed"

Ideas anyone?

VSM No longer very Useful

September 2, 2016, 5:23 pm

Hello,

 

The usefulness of VSM just dropped significantly. I can no longer download the products I own. The ability to download CustomIso's, Drivers and Tools, and the software was incredibly important. Going through the My VMware is very difficult. Now, since I have to login to VSM for it to work, one would assume that you could then use the same information to pick up any entitlements and allow the existing software to be downloaded.  VSM made it very convenient to get updated codes and code. Now we have to go back to the old increasingly painful way of doing such downloads and keeping everything up to date.

 

I request you add the functionality back in but also check any entitlements. If you ARE checking entitlements, it is odd that you dropped vSphere 6.0 from the update list as all the other tools include it as part of all other bundles. Keeping up to date is important!

 

Best regards,

Edward L. Haletky

Can't download vcenter self signed cert from web browser

Hi,

 

Trying to follow a few articles to download the self signed SSL certs for a vcenter 6.0 installation (How to download and install vCenter Server root certificates to avoid Web Browser certificate warnings (2108294) | VMwar…)

 

But step 2 says 'Click the Download trusted root CA certificates link at the bottom of the grey box on the right and download the file'

 

When I visit https://myvcenterserver:9443 I don't see that option. I've tried on two different browser, IE and Chrome, but neither seem to have it.

 

I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but can't quite figure it out.

 

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I can't find if it's possible to have drive redirection feature with an Horizon View Client for Linux (4.1, on CentOS 6.6) and Horizon View for Linux as a target (v7.0.1 with CentOS 6.6). It works with a Client for Linux/View Agent for Windows but impossible to manage to mount a drive on my linux target.

Convert VC:VM to vCloud:VM

Hi,

 

To get the vCloud object from the vCenter one my idea was to use the VC:virtualmachine.name output and then get the vCloud ID within the () and use this with queryservices to find the vCloud object.

Problem is that VC:virtualmachine.name strips away the () so only the plain VM name is returned.

 

Anyone know if it is possible to change the behavior of this, or another way to get the VC object full name?

 

Thanks!

Assigning permissions in the Embedded host web client

Hello all,

 

Just installed ESXi6 Update 2 on a test host as we are nearing migration from 5.5.  Wanted to test out the new stand alone embedded host client as well.

 

I see where I can add roles and users in the embedded host client, but do not see where you actually bind the role to a user or user to a role.  I know this is still in development, but I just wanted to double check to see if I am missing something, or if this feature is not available yet and still needs to be done through the legacy fat client.

Hello,

 

Our Data Recovery appliances started crashing. The appliance VM itself is running OK, but the datarecovery service is crashing after the service starts.

So all of the appliances are actually unusable :(.

Running old OSX on new OSX using Fusion

I have a bootable portable hard drive of an old OSX 10.6.8 setup created using Carbon Copy and wondered if there was any way to create a suitable file from this to use virtually in Fusion on my new Macbook pro. I am very keen to keep the previous clone, as it has a programme on it which is no longer supported and does not run on the latest OSX but that we still use.  The ultimate result would be to have the ability to run the old OSX in a full window alongside El Capitan, much like I run Windows and potentially share files on the desktop of both (again, something I do with the virtual version of Windows 7).

 

Many thanks!

Retrieve list of of tasks and events for deleted VM

Hi,

 

I am trying to use LucD's get vi-eventplus and get-taskplus commandlets to find out the events preceding a VM deletion.

This is the function I'using:

LucD notes » Get the vMotion/svMotion history

 

Now the VM is deleted, and it does not exist as an actual object in vCenter...so how can I build a query which filters all events that have the Entity Value for a deleted entry?

 

The only information I have to investigate this is the Name of the VM in the inventory, and the cluster where the VM was sitting.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,
