FLEX in trusted Forests....

September 27, 2016, 7:34 am

Hi All,

 

I have a customer who is working on installing Horizon FLEX.  They have two Active Directory Forests with a two-way Forest Trust between them.

 

Horizon Mirage can resolve Domain Groups (for role based access in the old Mirage Console for example), which means we can install an estate in one forest and administer from the other.  However, FLEX can only entitle users in the domain into which it is installed.  We tried using an AD group in the visible AD and added users and nested groups from the trusted forest-domain.  While I can imagine domains in the same forest working in this manner, pulling users across a Forest Trust appears not to work.

 

Unless anyone can suggest any fixes for this, it looks like an infrastructure per forest might be required.

 

Oh, and a quick one - is there a setting or registry key hack to prevent workstation player remembering the credentials of the last connected user?

Fixed: Can't remount nfs on esxi 5.5 after centos 7 nfs server outage

The first time through I was able to mount my nfs backup share to all 4 esxi hosts using the vsphere->storage->related objects->datastores->new wizard with no problems.

But my nfs server got rebooted and the hosts didn't automatically remount it after it came back up.  So I deleted the entry for the

share in vsphere.  But I couldn't remount it using the same wizard. 

I logged into the esxi shell and ran

esxcfg-nas -a VMBNFS -o hostname -s /backup

it said:

Connecting to NAS volume: VMBNFS

Unable to connect to NAS volume VMBNFS: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Unable to query remote mount point's attributes. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information

/var/log/vmkernel.log says:

The stale file handle had me thinking there was some residual cached info on the esxi hosts that was confusing things.  Anyway, after much hair pulling and gnashing of teeth,

I thought to ask the nfs server what it thought its active nfs clients were. 

showmount

and the esxi hosts were still listed there!  This was after a reboot, so it was a bit of a surprise.  Anyway, long story short, I cleared out the cache file on the server:

exportfs -ua

:> /var/lib/nfs/rmtab

exportfs -a

After that I was able to remount the share with no problem!

Just thought I'd try to save someone else the trouble.

Hi All, 1. Is there an out of the box metric in vRops 6.2 for the RAM Overcommit ratio for a cluster for both powered on and powered off vm's? 2. Is the CPU|Demand|Consumption ratio based on the powered on vm's or all vm's or the equivalent of vCPUs for the amount of CPU Demand in MHz? thanks in advance...

Virtual Machine View filtered based on Custom Group

Hi All, I am trying to create a view that lists a bunch of metrics for virtual machines, but want to limit it to the virtual machines in a custom group. I have already created multiple custom groups with the required vm's and was going to create multiple views for each of those custom groups, then place all the views into a report. However I can't seem to filter a view based on custom group name? any ideas? I couldn't find a property or metric under the virtual machine object that associates to the group, nor does the custom group expose the name of the group as a property or metric (by adding the custom group object as a secondary subject to the view)

Boa Noite Amigos,

 

Primeiramente gostaria de agradecer a atenção de todos.

 

A empresa que eu cuido da T.I resolveu comprar seu primeiro storage. Diante desse novo cenário começaram as duvidas.

 

Atualmente rodo 3 vms em 1 esxi 5.1 , as 3 vms estao em 3 datastores diferentes ( todas em raid 1), gostaria de migrar estas VMS para um storage, para que possa ter a possibilidade de subir mais VM´S.

 

E agora, existe alguma documentaçao para que faça isso da melhor forma?Vou ter q ligar esse storage via HBA ( em fibra?), ou em placas 10 giga? Ou placas 1 giga seriam suficientes??

 

E quais storages seriam aconselhaveis, sendo que gostaria de 20teras de espaço..

 

Obrigado..

Help me, I need your advice on license problems the software running in the system VDI. Include:

- SketchUp:I see

Single-user:

A Single-user license is assigned to one person and can only be used by the registered user. That individual can install the license on two computers that they use. This is typically a work computer/Desktop and a laptop. Click here for SketchUp Pro Pricing, including quantity discounts.

Network Licenses (10 seat minimum initial purchase):

A network license is not assigned to an individual user. The software can be installed on as many computers as you wish. The license is stored in a Trimble-operated server in the cloud, and the software points to that license.


- Autodesk: Network lincense or other

VM won't open after Time Machine restore to fresh operating system - file not found

My mac crashed and I ended up reloading the operating system and restoring data from a Time Machine backup using the migration assistant.  Everything seemed to come back fine, but when I try to open my Windows7 VM, Fusion is telling me that the system cannot find the file.

Screen Shot 2016-10-06 at 1.19.27 PM.png

I can navigate to the file in Terminal. The issue seems similar to the ones in these threads but I haven't been able to determine the fix.

Windows 7.vmdk file not found, but it's really there.......

Virtual Machine will not start after Time Machine Restore to new Imac

 

I have tried loading older copies of VM with the same result.  I think it's something to do with snapshots or permissions but I haven't been able to resolve.  The new OS is Sierra whereas the crashed OS was Yosemite.

 

Any help walking me through this would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to setup cross vcenter nsx between 2 datacenters.

 

Is there a good document on how to do this? I am looking at this

 

https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-62/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/nsx_62_cross_vc_install.pdf

 

I have my primary nsx manager setup in datacenter 1 with its own controllers

 

I also have nsx manager in the second datacenter. I deployed the controllers as well in the second datacenter. but the document says I do not need controllers in the second datacenter?

Virtual Machine Detection

Hello,

 

I have a Win 2k8R2 guest running on VMware ESXi 5.5 and I am trying to figure out how a program is detecting that it is running inside a virtual machine.  I realize this is a very broad topic and there has been quite a bit written about it, but I wonder if there have been any major developments in the past few years on ways to find out what a piece of software is doing and then figure out what it is keying from.

 

I have tried process monitor, but nothing there seems particularly damning.  I have also enabled all the "usual" tricks, such as changing the ethernet address, removing VMware tools, and setting the following options in the VMX file:

monitor_control.virtual_rdtsc = "FALSE"
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.getPtrLocation.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.setPtrLocation.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.setVersion.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_directexec = "TRUE"
monitor_console.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_chksimd = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_ntreloc = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_selfmod = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_reloc = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_btinout = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_btmemspace = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_btpriv = "TRUE"
monitor_control.disable_btseg = "TRUE"

 

 

None of this has helped.  It is a command line executable that is easily able to detect that it is running in a vm even though every other standard test (such as those performed by ScoopyNG) indicates it is bear metal.  Does anybody have any ideas on things I can try or ways to figure out what it is doing?  Thanks.

Failback with different recovery options than Failover

October 6, 2016, 7:59 am

Hi. I have recovery plans that during failover will run a script to shutdown vm's in Protected datacentre, that are outside the protection of SRM (i.e. vm's that are not protected due to specific reasons). This works just fine during a failover. During a failback doesn't SRM just flip the recovery plan? I need to be able to run a startup script for those same vm's that are outside of the SRM protection.

How can this be accomplished? Shutdown script during failover, Startup script during failback?

 

Thanks

EVC level.

Good day.

I got the HA cluster with EVC level "Nehalem". This level was configured cause there was need to move some vms from the host with Xeon E7530 (Beckton) to the host with E7-4850 (Westmere-EX). Now I want to vmotion some vms from the host with X5660 (Westmere-EP) to this cluster. Is this level OK for the live migration? I mean all mentioned processors belong to Nehalem generation (Westmere-EX and Westmere-EP are part of Nehalem too), however there is separate level called "Westmere" in the EVC configuration tab.

May I assume that host with X5660 had more CPU instructions than "Nehalem" EVC level hold and if this host will be included in the cluster with such EVC level, the vms will move correctly?

Passing current credentials (SSPI)

I wonder how PowerCLI does to pass my current AD-credentials when connecting to vcenter or invoking scripts in VM's?

 

Im creating a custom module, wrapping some of those commands,

 

Its not CredSSP, we've only allowed one other server to recieve SSP, and i guess communicating with a VM doesnt actually involve sending a PScredential-object over the network, so Set-CredSSP shouldn't be needed

Slow guest storage, Intel chipset C232

Guest Windows 2016.

No RAID setup.

 

The first 5-10 seconds I get good performance, 100Mbit/sec, but then it drops a lot, sometimes it even drops to near 0MB/s. It seems some kind of buffer problem.

I get this problem no matter what controller I configure in the VM, tried LSI Logic SES, VMware Paravirtual and SATA

ESX_default_scsi.jpg

ESX_storage.jpg

 

I've read you need a write-cache enable SAS controller to get good performance in ESX. But it sounds like a bad excuse for a software/coding problem.

 

Is it just because the ESX Intel SATA driver sucks?

I've tried to run Win 2016 directly on the board, and I don't get this performance issue, so I would say it's not a hardware issue.

 

Would it help to get a HBA controller with cache?.... e.g. LSI HBA SAS/SATA 9211-4i SGL 4-Port

Hi All,

 

Simple question I'm sure, but I cannot find the answer. Where can I go find when the last successful full inventory/collection took place... and if its wasn't full i.e. partial for whatever reason, why it couldn't do a full collection of data?

Integrated windows auth identity source in vSphere 6

Hello,

 

 

Here is my configuration:

 

I use a VCSA 6.0U2 appliance with embded PSC and database.

 

My vCenter appliance is deployed on ESXi 6.0U2

 

A second ESXi in 5.5 is in a cluster with the 6.0U2 ESXi

 

Management vmk is on the same subnet than VCSA

 

All component are correctly referenced in DNS and both can resolve name and IP.

 

The AD and NTP are in a different subnet and use a NAT: Time is synchronized correctly between ESXi, vCenter and AD.

 

The VCSA have been added in AD without issue. The identity source have been added.

 

We have a group, called AD-G-ADM-VSPHERE with admin users inside.

 

I had granted administrator role on Globale AND on vCenter with propagation to childs

 

 

Here is the problem:

 

A user member of AD-G-ADM-VSPHERE dont see cluster and I cant modify permission. If I directly add my account in Global permission with administrator role, I cant modify permissions and I dont see vCenter sub-objects (datacenter, cluster or ESXi). If I want to be able to manage vCenter, I need to add administrator permission on Vcenter.

 

 

As far as I know, It's not "normal". How can I add an AD group as ADministrator? Where is the issue?
