RDSH host reverts changes

March 14, 2018, 1:59 pm
$

Sorry for this long post, but this problem is driving me crazy.

 

I am building a new horizon 7.4 environment.   I have two hosts dedicated to running RDSH servers for published apps.   Originally, i deployed a new 2012r2 server from my default template (note that this template has been used to deploy hundreds if not thousands of VMs).  I joined this new server to domain, did all the configuration, patching etc based on Carl Stahlhoods site for setting up an RDSH host.   Then I cloned this server to two new servers (sysprepped of course) to be used as my RDSH farm servers.  I created the farm in view administrator, attached an appstack with a single app in it and published that app.  I was able to successfully launch that app so everything was good.  

A few weeks ago, the servers went through our normal patching cycle and after patching came back as not compliant.  so we installed the patches again, rebooted, not compliant.   Upon troubleshooting we found that the patches would install, but when the servers were rebooted the patches would show as not installed.  So i downloaded the patches to the C drive of one of the servers, installed the patches and rebooted again.  Not only did the patches show not installed, but the patch files that I had downloaded to the C drive were gone.  I thought maybe appvolumes had something to do with it, so i detached the appstack and tried again, same result.   At this point, i didnt know what else to try, so i deleted these two VMs, but instead of cloning my RDSH "master" i deployed 2 new VMs from my original template and went through a manual configuration process on both of these.   Installed all patches, etc, attached my appstack, recreated my farm in view administrator and republished my app.  That was last week.

 

This morning i was re-mediating some security vulnerabilities and when i attempted to RDP to these 2 servers, all i got was a black screen for about 60 seconds and then it disconnected.  So i power cycled one of them and tried to logon to the console, but i couldnt get ctrl-alt-delete to work.  Again RDP gave me a black screen and then disconnected after 60 seconds.  So i thought i would try copying a file to the C drive of one of them and rebooting.  After the reboot, the file was gone just like I experienced after normal patching.

 

I have no snapshots on these.  The original master RDSH VM that i created does not experience this issue.  The only difference between that one and these new ones is the original master never had the view agent installed.   My Appvolume Manager servers, file server, connection server etc, all were deployed from my original template and do not have this issue.

 

Has anyone else seen this happen with RDSH hosts or any server for that matter?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

vROPS 6.6.1 with Horizon View Adapter 6.4.0

Hi,

 

I updated recently to vROPS 6.6.1.

 

My question is about the "Total Logon Time". I thought this value is the addition of "App Stack Attach Time" + "Profile Load Time" + "Shell Load Time" + "Interactive Session Time", but my Total Logon Time is a lot higher than the addition of the single times, so where is the gap?

 

This is not an issue of one, almost all logons show this behavior no matter if they are on a linked clone or on a full clone.

 

All Userprofiles are redirected by GPO as well as the user home.

 

Here is a screenshot of this:

 

By the way, we do using App Volumes at this time, so the "App Stack Attach Time" is not reasonable here.

 

Used Versions:

 

vROPS Appliance 6.6.1

vCenter 5.5.U3

Horizon View 6.2.4 (some Agents are still on 6.2.3 but this will be fixed within the next few weeks)

 

Can anyone help me to find the missing seconds?

Certificate validation with Connect-VIServer (PowerCLI 10.0 & 6.5.4.7155375)

I'm trying to resolve a certificate validation issue I'm seeing in PowerCLI.

 

(I know I can just set -InvalidCertificateAction to Ignore or save the thumbprint as an exception in PSTCS as a workaround.)

 

When I have InvalidCertificateAction set to Prompt, I get:

 

> Connect-VIServer myviserver.blah.net -Verbose   
WARNING: There were one or more problems with the server certificate for the server myviserver.blah.net:443:   

* The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.   
Certificate: [Subject]    CN=myviserver.blah.net  
[Issuer]    CN=myCA DN

 

I'm not sure what it doesn't like about the CN... it matches and browsers don't complain. I tried messing with [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol based on some other threads but that didn't seem to help.

 

Does anyone have ideas on how to investigate further?

 

Thanks!

vSphere replication in a multi-site topology

I know SRM supports multi-site topologies, but what about vSphere Replication? Would it support a three (or more) site topology where:

  • Virtual Machines at Site A are protected at Site B

  • Virtual Machines at Site B are protected at Site C

  • Virtual Machines at Site C are protected at Site A

would you just use multiple vSphere Replication servers?

 

Thanks

I am upgrading a vCAC 6.2.3 environment to vRA 7.3 and getting a failure when migrating the SQL db.  I am able to un-encrypt the dB and upgrade the scheme however when the migration tries to re-encrypt the db it fails.

The only thing on google is for vRA 7.2,  but the hotfix doesn't apply to 7.3.  Since it referenced MS Framework 5, I went ahead and uninstalled it.  Still receiving the error.  Has anyone seen this before?

vRA 6.2.5 with vSphere/vCenter 6.5 (U1)

We currently have a complex environement with many components that we need to upgrade.

Like vSphere 5.5, vRA 6.2, vRO 6.0.3, NSX 6.2.4, and many other components either from VMware or third party.

For most reasons, we want to go to vSphere vCenter 6.5 U1.

 

Due to a lot of compexity inside vRA and vRO, we are unable to oversee an upgrade from 6.x to 7.x at the same time.

(going through all the changes inside vRA and the vRO workflows, with all external systems, would take a couple of more months)

 

In the compatibility matrix we see that vRA 6.2.5 is compatible with vCenter 6.5, but it's not listed to be compatible with 6.5 U1.

On the other hand we cannot find vRA 6.2.5 to be incompatible with vCenter 6.5 U1.

 

Does anyone have any experience with vRA 6.2.5 and vCenter 6.5 U1?

Bundles indicate installation was successful, but no indication

that they did ? None would launch ! I have un-installed each

before trying another one.

 

   vmware-installer  --uninstall-product vmware-player

 

My previous desktop pc croaked, and this is a new custom

built pc, with a new OS install. I had vmware player on my

old pc with no previous troubles.

 

I've been trying to get a descent install for almost 3 weeks

looking for answers all over internet !

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a situation where I have a property where the value needs collected for only one BG.

 

The blueprints are shared for all BGs so I put the new unique property at the BG level. Well, it shows twice, once at the deployment level then again down at the machine component. Is there any way to have this property only shown once?

data flow when cloning a VM between 2 ESXi hosts

Hi,

 

To clone a Vm between two ESXi hosts, I did

 

connect-VIServer my-vcenter

New-VM -Name dest_vm -VM src_vm -Datastore ds02 -VMHost host02

 

both ESXi hosts are located in the same remote office while the vCenter is in this office. My question is: how does the clone traffic flows? Does it go directly between host01 and host02, ie. vCenter is not the data mover?

 

Thanks,

Global Conditions for UEM Personalization

I'm starting a new deployment of non-persistent Windows 10 (1709) and Windows 7 desktops throughout our organization that will be relying heavily on UEM for User Personalization as well as UEM policies.  I've got a decent grasp on how I'm setting this up for our named users, but I've also got a large number of kiosk-esk VMs that I'd like to manage user and Horizon polices via UEM, but without any personalization.  My first thought was to just create a condition for user personalization "IF %user% NOT memberOf %group%", but I can't find anyway of doing this at the top level.  Aside from adding this condition to every config, or creating a separate UEM config and group policy for these VMs, is there a way that this can be done cleaning?

 

Thanks,

 

Clayton

How to make dynamic folder creation in vSphere for vRA blueprint deployments?

March 14, 2018, 8:38 am

Hello and good day!

 

Im trying to figure out how to make a dynamic folder created  when a user requests a vRA blueprint and have those machines from that deploy dumped into that folder.

 

 

 

 

What im aiming for is that when a user requests a blueprint in vRA, the request page asks what their name is.

When  the machines are created/deployed from that blueprint/request, a folder would be created in vSphere that would be labeled with the username that was provided through the request form, and all those provisioned machines would then be dropped into that folder.

 

Ive ran across the custom property of VMware.VirtualCenter.Folder, which works fine if  I manually put in the info into the blueprint properties,  but of course every time that blueprint is ran, it puts all the provisioned machines in the same folder.  Im aiming for the value of that property be dynamic and based on the info provided in the blueprint request form.

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Any general help would be appreciated.

 

Eventually, id like the folder to be created with the info of <user+time/date>, but for starters and for my understanding, if i could just get it created dynamically with the user name, that would be a good start.

 

 

Thank you

移行の検証をするために、移行元環境としてesx 4.0の環境を作成しております。

esx 4.0のインストールの際、サーバのオンボードRAIDのディスクが認識しなかった

ため、カスタムドライバを入手し、再度インストールを行いました。

 

カスタムドライバの選択するところで、カスタムドライバが入ったCDを入れましたが

ドライバを認識いたしませんでした。

 

カスタムドライバのISOを覗いてみたところ、.rpmディレクトリ内のrpmファイルの

名前が63文字で切れていました。

 

それが原因でドライバが認識されなかったのでしょうか。

 

.rpmディレクトリ内のrpmファイルを短い名前にリネーム、

.rpmディレクトリ内のTRANS.TBLに記載されているrpmファイル名を変更

ISO直下のdrivers.xmlに記載されているrpmファイル名を変更

 

を実施しましたが、ドライバは認識されないです。

 

他に確認すべきこと、対応すべきことがあれば、ご教授をお願いいたします。

XFS and RHEL7 guest os

Hi All,

 

Just trying to find some help in troubleshooting an issue we are having.

 

When we have a client do an rsync to a XFS partition on a RHEL 7 guest , it's causing the guest vm to hang and the only way to recover is to reboot the host.

 

the host is VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5969303, we need to patch soon anyway to bring it up to the latest security levels.

 

The guest OS is up to date as well.  We don't have this issue with RHEL6 guest, just RHEL7.

 

We have done tools, vm hardware upgrades etc OS tuning, looked into the java setting for how large the  the underlying datastore can be, max amount of storage presented etc.

 

I'll go over the logs again, but for the moment I'm going to swap it to ext4 and see how that goes.
