PSC certificate issue

March 2, 2018, 1:53 am

Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to issue sub CA certificate for my Embedded vCSA installation. vCAS version 6.5.0.14100.

 

/var/tmp/vmware/certool.cfg

 

Country = RU

Name = vlab-PSC-CA

Organization = vlab

OrgUnit = IT

State = Moscow

Locality = Moscow

IPAddress = <my IP>

Email = <Some email>

Hostname = <My vCSA FQDN>

 

/var/tmp/vmware/MACHINE_SSL_CERT.cfg

 

Country = RU

Name = <My vCSA FQDN>

Organization = vlab

OrgUnit = IT

State = Moscow

Locality = Moscow

IPAddress = <my IP>

Email = <Some email>

Hostname = <My vCSA FQDN, My vCSA Hostname>

 

I'm running

 

root@<hostname> [ /usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin ]# ./certificate-manager

 

Option[1 to 8]: 2

Do you wish to generate all certificates using configuration file : Option[Y/N] ? : y

 

 

Please provide valid SSO and VC priviledged user credential to perform certificate operations.

Enter username [Administrator@vsphere.local]:

Enter password:

certool.cfg file exists, Do you wish to reconfigure : Option[Y/N] ? : n

         1. Generate Certificate Signing Request(s) and Key(s) for VMCA Root Signing certificate

 

 

         2. Import custom certificate(s) and key(s) to replace existing VMCA Root Signing certificate

 

 

Option [1 or 2]: 1

 

 

Please provide a directory location to write the CSR(s) and PrivateKey(s) to:

Output directory path: /custom

2018-03-02T09:50:11.492Z   Running command: ['/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certool', '--genkey', '--privkey', '/custom/vmca_issued_key.key', '--pubkey', '/tmp/pubkey.pub']

2018-03-02T09:50:11.679Z   Done running command

2018-03-02T09:50:11.679Z   Running command: ['/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certool', '--gencsrfromcert', '--privkey', '/custom/vmca_issued_key.key', '--cert', '/var/lib/vmware/vmca/root.cer', '--csrfile', '/custom/vmca_issued_csr.csr']

2018-03-02T09:50:11.700Z   Done running command

 

 

CSR generated at: /custom/vmca_issued_csr.csr

         1. Continue to importing Custom certificate(s) and key(s) for VMCA Root Signing certificate

 

 

         2. Exit certificate-manager

 

 

Option [1 or 2]:

 

As you can see vCSA generates CSR based on existing root certificate (certool', '--gencsrfromcert', '--privkey'), but I've clearly stated that I want to generate based on files (Do you wish to generate all certificates using configuration file : Option[Y/N] ? : y). The result is incorrect CSR. Does anyone knows how to force certificate-manager to respect config file content?

Building guest VM with PowerCLI: OS Customization Spec works at one site but not at another

I've created a Template in our core site, where building a guest with an OSCustomizationSpec allows me to configure the hostname and a static IP address for the NIC along with its DNS preferences reliably and consistently.

 

I copied the template to a site in Mexico (managed by the same vCenter), and when I try to deploy a server there, I get an error that says:A specified parameter was not correct: Timezone

 

I've tried supplying the Mexico timezone as a number and as a leading 0-padded string and as a string with no padding; nothing changes the error message.

I'm having a VM with C drive (83.6 GB free of 129 GB) and D drive (353 GB free of 389 GB)

On taking a backup of my virtual machine through Vmware vCenter Converter , it was found that total backup taking 448 GB space on external source.

Please help me understanding this why it is taking so much space.

vMotion not showing available hosts

October 17, 2017, 5:50 am

I've just completed an upgrade from 3 x ESXi 5.0 hosts and a vCenter 5.1 appliance (Essentials Plus) to ESXi 6.0.5050593 and VCSA 6.5.5973321. This is a fully supported VMware setup. I upgraded the licenses and applied them to the new setup ok.

 

One very strange observation is that when I try and vmotion a VM to another host, if I select 'Change compute resource only', invariably the only destination host I'll see is the host the VM is currently running on - no other cluster hosts will show. If though, I select 'Change both compute resource and storage', I can expand the cluster and see all hosts. This method of migrating the VM will work, but I have to 'fake' a datastore change selection.

 

Things I've verified are;

 

It happens in both the Flash and HTML UI's.

Sometimes I will see all the migration hosts, but not all the time and very inconsistently

The message pre-migration will always show 'Compatability checks succeeded'.

 

I thought initially it was out of date VMware Tools, and it certainly looked more promising when tools was updated to 10.0.9 (build 10249), but then it all seemed to revert back and the same things happen. Is this a bug? I know I'm not running the latest ESXi version, or even the latest build of ESXi 6.0, but I'm not quite ready for that yet. It never happened in 5.x.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks

ramdisk 'root is full. vsanmgmt.log grows quickly

March 15, 2018, 11:56 am

Hello,

 

I'm trying to fix an issue where my root ramdisk / Scatch/logs fills up after a few hows of uptime and esxi can no longer write to its log files.

 

Unfortunately the only datastore I have is the vsan datastore, and redirecting system logs to that datastore is not supported. I do have vsphere log insight setup but the local path is still {} /scratch/log

 

I have 3 servers in the vsan, but one of them fills up the root ramdisk much faster than the others. This is an Lenovo server whereas the others are HPE servers.

 

After spending a fair bit of time looking into this, trying to see if the IBM has a higher logging level than the others etc but I can't see why the Lenovo's logs grow so fast.

 

Here's what the logs currently look like:

 

root@MOX-ESXi1:/scratch/log] ls -lah -lS

total 29880

-rw-------    1 root     root       10.0M Mar 15 14:54 vsanmgmt.log

-rw-------    1 root     root        7.6M Mar 15 18:28 hostd.log

-rw-------    1 root     root      172.0K Mar 15 18:40 clomd.log

 

And here;s the ramdisks:

ESXi 6.5U1 HPE Custom Image / Protection against Spectre

Dear all,

 

I have two HPE ML350 Gen9 Server running with ESXi 6.5U1 Build 7388607 HPE Custom Image.

 

Latest BIOS-Update P92 2.56_01-22-2018 23.02.2018 is installed.

 

All running Windows 2012 R2 VMs got the latest Microsoft updates (including KB4056098). Antivirus software is also running and up-to-date.

 

The registry-keys were set, as mentioned in: https://support.microsoft.com/en-za/help/4072698/windows-server-guidance-to-protect-against-the-speculative-execution

 

If I run the the Microsoft "SpeculationControl"-Powershell-script, I get as result, that the CPU still have to be updated by microcode (please see attachment).

 

Does anybody know which additional vmWare-Update I need to install?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

 

Regards

 

Marcus
