Powercli to get RAID level

August 15, 2016, 9:35 pm
$

Dear all,

.

In our environment, ESXi will be installed on the local harddisk of the server.

 

So, I would like to get the RAID level of the harddisk where the esxi is installed .

If above is not possible, is there a way to fetch the physical harddisk and its sizes, where the host is installed.

 

Eg : Either i need an answer as RAID 5 or

i require answer as Physical disk 1 - 100 GB Physical disk 2 - 100 GB , physical disk 3 - 100GB

So by fetching the local datastore size, i can get the configured RAID level.

 

Please help

Cannot mount main Mac disk or user home folder in Desktop of Mac on VMware Fusion

1. I cannot mount main Mac disk or user home folder in Desktop of Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server (Snow Leopard) on VMware Fusion 8.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.11 10.11.6 (15G1004) El Capitan. Mac sharing and VMware Fusion Sharing are both active. When double clicking such aliases on Snow Leopard Server Desktop, it says:

 

--------------------------------------

Resolving alias to Desktop

—

Connection Failed

The server… may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.

—

The alias… can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.

--------------------------------------

 

2. I think that it is related to this (after recovering a damaged booting El Capitan disk and restoring from backup):

 

Console shows again and again:

 

--------------------------------------

com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (org.postfix.master[637]) Service exited with abnormal code: 1

com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (org.postfix.master) Service only ran for 1 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 9 seconds.

--------------------------------------

 

How to fix it? Thanks!

Issues with Pre-allocation of Virtual Disk that was just increased in Fusion guest

September 12, 2016, 8:55 am

I am very sorry if I am missing something very apparent here in the process to increase the size of the hard drive of a guest machine.  I have successfully increased the size through VMware Fusion 8.1.1 (3771013) of the guest, Windows Server 2012 R2.  It worked.  It took a long time about 10 hours but it worked.  I then used the Disk Management tools in the Windows Server guest to expand the C drive, using the unallocated space which is the difference between the then existing drive, 112 gb and the desired 256 gb I wanted.  That worked. 

So I then read Pre-Allocating the SCSi drive has benefits.  I invoked the process.  But it has been running for 20 hours now. 

 

I need to know:

  1. Any idea how long this will run?
  2. Can I kill the process in iOS Monitor; in the past when the expansion process was running and I killed Fusion or rebooted the Host, I could never start the guest again. Will that be the case?  I need this system with the 256gb Hard Drive.
  3. Why does these processes with Virtual Drives take so long and are shrouded in mystery?
  4. Are there any guidelines how resizing and Pre-Allocation takes?
  5. Did I make a fatal error by trying to Pre-Allocate a Virtual Drive I just increased?

 

Thanks to anyone who can assist me.

We have a Horizon 7 deployment utilizing 2-factor authentication via Radius.  When we attempt to logon using the new UWP app we get prompted for an RSA login and an error message saying "Unsupported Authentication Type".  We do not use RSA.  Is it just too early in the beta for this to be supported?

Powercli 6.0.0 Unable to connect to the remote server issue

Hi all,

 

I am fighting with this problem that is already know, I have not found any real solution on that and still I am having the error.

What I am trying to do is to automate a process in order to run a powershell command inside a guest windows os.

I am running the script from a unique specific server with powercli installed against a vcenter server where my guest is installed.

The strange thing is that the command inside the guest is executed and it works, it means that it is able to authenticate to the guest OS, the problem is that the run of the script failed with:

"Invoke-VMScript Unable to connect to the remote server"

So by the fact it failed the automation process stops.

I have tested the same script in a 5.1 environment and it works.

 

Any help on this topic?

 

Thanks all

How to set VM summary header icon dynamically

Hello,

 

In Summary header we have an Icon, whether the VM has which OS and is on vsphere environment or not.

One way to change that Icon is by changing ManagedBy value from MOB.

But it is one time solution and icons are also fixed.

What i want is to change that Icon dynamically at run time.

 

Is it possible?

 

Thanks in advance,

UI extension point "vsphere.core.vm.manageViews " missing in 6.5RC HTML web client?

Hi laurentsd,

 

My project need extend HTML5 client plugin on ' vsphere.core.vm.manageViews' extendedPoint.
Before vSphere 6.5 , I can find my plugin on VM-->Manage-->(myPlugin project>) view.
I find that it has already changed to VM-->Configure-->(myPlugin project>) View at vSphere6.5 Web Client(Flash) when I use the same extendedPoint.

 

But now, I can't find VM-->Configure View at vSphere HTML5 Web Client build 4234016, and there is no my plugin extendedPoint information on VM node.

 

I have already tested html-client-sdk\samples\globalview-html sample(see Attachments vm-extensionPoint-missing.png).

 

my test environment:
  • html-client-sdk :  vSphere Web Client 6.5.0 build 4234016
  • vCenter Server : 6.0 u2

 

my test plugin.xml also refer Attachments.

 

Thanks!

Mixing 6gb and 12gb drives in the same cluster

September 12, 2016, 4:54 am

We are getting ready to add a few hosts to our current VSAN 6.2 hybrid cluster, which uses 1.2TB 6gb drives.  Unfortunately, the drives are EOL and our vendor is substituting 12gb drives and the corresponding controller.  Everything is on the HCL, so my question is, is this supported?  I understand that best practice is that all hosts be identical, but these are essentially the same 10k drives with the 12gb interface.

 

Thanks,

Mixed PVSCSI and LSI Logic SAS for W2K12R2 Storage Pool?

September 12, 2016, 10:50 am

Hi,

I have recently taken over a Windows Fileserver which had a C:\ Disk on SCSI 0:0 of a LSI Logic SAS (which is perfectly fine) and a disk D:\ as a virt. Disk on a Windows Storage Pool (with 5TB, still OK). What makes me worry a bit is how the disks that form the storage pool are configured.

They are all 250GB Thick Provisioned Eager Zero (which is still fine) but:

 

Disk 2 (disk 1 is C: ...) - Disk 11 are attached to SCSI 1:0 - 1:10 which is a paravirtual SCSI

Disk 12 - Disk 21 are attached to SCSI 2:0 - 2:10 which is paravirtual SCSI

Disk 22 - Disk 25 are attached to SCSI 3:0 - SCSI 3:3 - and this one is again LSI Logic SAS

 

Can this cause issues on a fileserver with 1000+ Connections and 20.000 open File Handles on a daily Basis?

Can this be the culprit for performance issues?

How can I track issues that arise from this configruation?

 

Thx in advance.

NSX rule to represent internet traffic

When building firewall rules, how do you signify traffic destined for the internet?

 

For example,  lets say I want the VM to be blocked from all local subnets, but allow it outbound to the internet.

 

In our current firewall we can signify traffic thats destined for the internet using the 0.0.0.0 destination but that doesn't seem to work with NSX which allows me to build a rule that says

 

1.  Allow destination 0.0.0.0 (internet)

2.  Block all

We have 4 servers on a host which is on a ESCi5 VMWare.

 

I had problems today to login with Remote Desktop to one of the servers today, so I Went into vSphere and rebooted the GuestOS. Normally when I do that I start a ping -t to see when it's on so I can login to it via Remote Desktop. This time the ping never respond! :O

 

So I restarted the virtual host, I have restarted the server but the same problem all the time! And no error messages on the Event tab on vSphere!

The other servers are restarting fine.

 

I need help please!

Solaris 10 VM Converted goes into a Boot Loop

September 12, 2016, 8:47 am

We have a set of images sent to us by a customer. Not sure of the software used to create the images.

The images were taken from various physical servers with various operating systems (Linux, Solaris, Windows).

We used StarWinds free converter to convert the images to vmdk files.

Using VMware Workstation, we are able to create a VM and add the converted vmdk as the system disk.

We then used VMware converter  to covert the VMs and move them over to ESXi Server 6.0.

We are able to boot a majority of the Linux VMs (RHEL 6).

However,  Solaris boots up and goes into a boot loop...

 

Is there a mod required to stop the looping?

 

Thanks

Hi All,

 

     After removing the snapshots through orchestrator,  login into the VI-client, the VM summary shows that "configuration Issues" "Virtual Machine disks consolidation is needed".

 

Could you guide me how to do consolidation through orchestrator.

 

 

"

var logtext;
if(activeSnapshot.config){
var vmName = activeSnapshot.config.name;
var snapshotID = activeSnapshot.id;

var task = activeSnapshot.removeSnapshot_Task(removeChildren);
//var task = activeSnapshot.removeSnapshot_Task(consolidate);
var actionResult = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.basic").vim3WaitTaskEnd(task) ;

logtext = "The snapshot with the id " + snapshotID + " from the Virtual machine '"+vmName+"'has been removed.";
}else{
logtext = "The snapshot with the id " + activeSnapshot.id + " has already been removed.";
}

content = content + "<br>" + logtext;
System.log(logtext);"

 

Note:- The above code belongs to Remove snapshot code.

Wildcard certificate and Horizon 7 - failed to get certificate chain

Hi,

i'm trying - desperatly - to install a wildcard geotrust certificate on our horizon connection server, but it fails with;

WARN  (1494-1408) <Thread-1> [KeyVaultKeyStore] (NetHandler) Failed to get certificate chain for: "vdm"

WARN  (1494-1408) <Thread-1> [KeyVaultKeyStore] (NetHandler) Certificate chain not found for alias: vdm

 

The certificate in question is a valid, wildcard GeoTrust SSL CA - G3 certificate, with the following properties:

Version V3

Signature algoritm: sha256RSA

Signature hash: sha256

Public key: RSA (2048 bits)

friendly name: vdm

 

The certificate chain in the certificate mmc, shows OK.

The private key is exportable, and security is set to full control of the service user running the services. (plus system and admins).

There is only this certificate with the friendly name "vdm"

 

It feels like the intermediate and/or root is not in the jre servers' trusted certificate store, so i tried to create a truststorefile.key and load it with a locked.properties file, but that didnt help.

Trying to access the admin site (https://localhost/admin) gives the error "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" with Chrome and "SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP" with firefox.

 

Any tips/ideas/suggestions would be very appriciated!!

 

/Chris
