VMware on AWS - L2 Extension

Hi

 

i have the below query regarding VMware on AWS.

 

VMC support L2 extension, which means I can extend my on premise network to AWS

Question:1

Were will be the default gateway for a network when I extend using L2 ? Will it be in on prem or will it be in both

If it is on prem then different vlan communication has to go through my on prem DC

If the DG is both on prem & in AWS, does it mean it uses some thing like Universal logical switch , Universal distributed router functionality using Anycast?


VXLAN to VLAN Routing on Single Host using DLR

Hey Experts,

 

Appreciate is you can explain me a packet walk how the logical routing would be handled by the DLR if VM1 intends to communicate with VM2.

 

Both VMs are running in the same physical host. VM1 is connected to logical switch and is part of VLAN20 while VM2 connects to a vDS and is part of VLAN10.

Windows jumping about when re-fousing on Fusion 11.5

Hi peeps,

 

Having a really strange issue since upgrading to Fusion 11.5.  I'm running on a MacPro with Mojave 10.14.6 and haven't done anything with the system update, just with Fusion.

 

I use Fusion in full screen mode on a second monitor.  If i click outside into the native Mac environment on the primary monitor and then back to Fusion, I'm getting the front window of the Windoze application jumping about.  Sometimes it's making a 'click-drag' selection in the Win application as it all moves around.  There's no heavy process running in the background of either environment, but it's just like there's been a mouse click lag.  Everything was running just fine right up until the Fusion upgrade so I'm confident it's something to do with the new version.  VMtools are up to date etc.

 

Has anyone else come across this one yet?  It's doing my head in!

 

Cheers

 

Rob

The URL will continue to change when I log in to the vRA.

My customer failed to change the domain of the vRA server, so they rolled back the operation

However, we can connect to vRA login page, but we can't logged in.

 

Login continues to change the value inside the https://vRA-FQDN/vcac/org/vsphere.local/?code="________________" and eventually results in a 503 error.

 

The VAMI page also displays SSO info as "Not Connected"

 

DNS is registered normally, and both vRA and Ias servers are accessible normally.

When I log in, vRA redirected somewhere and  fail to log in.

 

Please advice me !

DHCP issue with VIO 6 15330102 VDS

Hi,

 

We experience the issue, that deployed instances don't get a IP from the DHCP agent, so the don't get configured.

If I manually assign a IP after the deployment, the Network seems to be ok: I can ping other instances and external hosts, but not the mentioned DHCP adresses.

 

Our test deployment is on a nested ESXi and a VIO 6 15330102, VDS. So this should nod affected by the password bug.

The eth2 interfaces of all 3 controller nodes are attached to a Trunk port group.

 

Dhcp seems to run:

 

[root@controller-jd75b6qc54 /]# ps -eaf | grep dhcp

MacOS on ESXi - how many VMs am I allowed to run?

Hello everyone,

 

First of all, I am well aware that I cannot run MacOS VM on non-Apple hardware, so my plan is to grab VMware-compatible Apple hardware and install ESXi atop of it.

 

Now, the real question is how many VMs am I allowed to run and how do I get more licenses if I need more than "x" VMs?

 

Apple EULA (https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macOSCatalina.pdf ) is very vague about it and there is no mention of other hypervisors:

 

<…>

 

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you obtained the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, through an automatic download or under a volume license, maintenance or other written agreement from Apple, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at any one time. For example, these single-copy license terms apply to you if you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware.

 

B. Mac App Store License.

 

<...>

 

(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, to download, install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software for use either: (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use the Apple Software on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use the Apple Software on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library; and

 

(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of:

 

(a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.

 

  The grant set forth in Section 2B (iii) above does not permit you to use the virtualized copies or instances of the Apple Software in connection with service bureau, time-sharing, terminal sharing or other similar types of services. <...>

Independent-Nonpersistent Disks in a Classroom/Lab Environment

We are setting up a classroom/lab environment where each student has their own sandbox to configure and modify domain controllers, Exchange servers, servers with various roles, workstations etc. Each sandbox is a child domain under a parent domain which allows for interactivity between the child and parent domains as well as between child domains ie Exchange communications.

 

The entire setup is run using virtual machines except for the physical student workstations at their desks.

 

The plan is to switch the VM disks to independent non-persistent mode and reset the machines nightly (or less often if required). The entire setup will be reset simultaneously so there are no DCs or Exchange servers out of time with one another. The idea behind this is to ensure that the trainer is always in a known state at the beginning of training. This trainer is completely on its own isolated network.

 

I believe the concept is sound. I'm throwing this out there for review and comments as someone may have setup something identical and can flag something that we have not considered.

 

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Snapshots on storage

Good day!

There is a storage DELL SC3020. A LUN was created on it to store virtual machines. The storage made the snapshots, after which the LUN was full and the virtual machine stopped with the error: "msg.hbacommon.outofspace: "/ vmfs / volumes / 5c4b18ea-39e14e84-39e7-f4e9d4cf4810 / AD / AD -000002.vmdk". Click Cancel to terminate this session " . VCENTER did not allow to increase LUN, it was necessary through ESXI. Is there any idea to use snapshots on the DELL SC3020 device?

App Volumes 4 and UEM not running smoothly

Hi

 

Trying out App Volumes 4 with UEM and I am using shortcuts that have "check if %programdiles%\insetprogram.exe exists" enabled on my shortcuts.

 

The ones that doesn't have that works, the ones that is checking does not work.

 

It works with AppStacks 2.18, and it worked with 4.0 Beta, but not GA version.

 

The AppStacks Packages are being connected as they should, I can start word, or whatever I have in Appvolume so they are there and registered in Windows, but mu uem shortcuts doesn't  work

 

 

Anyone else trying out 4.0 and having troubles?

Office Pro Plus Installs and Configures every launch

This issue is almost identical to the issue described here: Office Pro Plus installs/configures on every launch of Outlook however I'm not using writable volumes and I didn't just do and upgrade. For me I just created a new windows 10 desktop with Office pro plus 2016 installed on the parent and we are using AppVolumes 2.16

 

when I attach an AppStack to this desktop it causes office to perform the same install/configuration issue and this Appstack can be blank or even just have a desktop icon... anything will cause office to do this.

 

the reason the solution proposed in the disucssion linked is because I have nothing to update it to this is new appstack created from begining to end with 2.16

 

Also my provisioning workstation is new clone of the Parent desktop with only sysprep run.

 

Please help

Change Port 22 SSH on ESXi 6.5

I Need to change port ssh 22 for 22222 on ESXi 6.5, anyone have idea?

Setup Options

Have an issue that i'm not quite sure how to get by.  Here is my problem.

 

We have Folder redirection setup and has been for years in this environment.  Been using view but all wrong in my opinion but not sure how to get by it.  We currently have about 150 desktops but less that 60 concurrent users and are using View Composer instead of Linked Clones.  The reason we don't use LC's is because of the folder redirection and GPO's that get applied.  Because of those our login times are quite long (>60 sec).  I've tried different options (UEM, Master OPtimization, etc) with not much luck. The LC's we utilize take closer to 2 min to login since it has to create the profile each time.  APPDATA seems to be part of the issue as well since it's not recommended to redirect it.   If i was able to utilize LC's i can get my desktop count in half.  Is there a good way to utilize LC's while using folder redirection and roaming profiles??  Any help is appreciated.

Re: Snapshots on storage

Good afternoon!

I talked with a Dell specialist, and he said that they recommend performing snapshots on the SC3020. Since snapshots can speed up storage performance.
1. I wanted to clarify if I create snapshots for each Lun as described above and they will be stored only 24 hours. It will be right? (2 Luns are for storing backups, 2 Luns for storing non-critical virtual machines)
2. I have 4 Luns on DELL, all of them are created under VMFS. At the moment I have 3 Lun in the red zone. Well, that’s logical, as Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed was created in Lun data.
(Example 1Lun 3TB - 1 Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed 2.9 TB) But Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed itself is not fully occupied in the system. What to do or is this a normal practice?

implemeting vsphere best practices and features_powercli

Hi Luc,

 

i have been trying to implement  vsphere best practices and new features on vmware environment using powercli .

 

i am in process of checking following and thought of discussing with you if we can  add additional features in following list.

1:content Library

2:vcenter high availability

3:virtual machines encryption (that need KMS server i think that incur cost to customer)

4:file based backup(needs location of ftp server)

5:per vm evc

6:enhanced link mode

7:i am planning to do this with powercli 11.5 and posh ssh module .

Auto Scaling

I want to achieve VM Auto Scaling currently i am using Vcenter 6.7 U3 and i want to automate Vm resource (CPU + Memory) increment and decrements on fly without effecting application and server downtime. i tried powerCli which increased resources based on my threshold but not decreasing resource without power off.

 

Any Help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

John.
