vCloud: vShield Edge FW Rules

December 19, 2013, 12:55 am

Hi all

 

I'm looking for a way to get and set firewall rules on a vShield Edge firewall in a vCloud environment.  My final target is to write two scripts; one that will export the firewall rules from a given vShield Edge firewall to CSV and another script that will import them from CSV into another vShield Edge firewall.  This is to help with a DR scenario where we'll shift a public IP block from a public facing vShield Edge in one vCloud environment to one in another environment.

 

I need to do this through the vCloud API or PowerCLI because, if I do it directly at the vShield Manager, vCloud won't know about the changes that have been made.  I'm not a Powershell expert by any means but I'm picking things up as I have a need for them.  I've looked through several blog posts people have written and it looks as though I need to dig down into ExtensionData as there aren't get and sets for the info I'm after.  I've found some info which is really close to what I'm after in this post:

Deepdive: vCloud vApp Networks | Geek after Five

 

This covers pulling the information from the GetNetworkConfigSection method in the Extensiondata of a vApp.  The issue I have is that the vShield Edge / network I'm after information from, isn't actually in a vApp.  It's a bit of a funny setup but I've got a vShield Edge firewall connected to the Internet and to an Org Network.  No VMs or vApps are connected to the Org Network.  Instead, I have about a dozen vApps, each with a vApp network and a vShield Edge connecting the vApp network to the Org Network.  This was a strategy recommended by VMware to overcome the limitation of 10 networks on the public facing vShield Edge and works brilliantly in that respect.  However... the public facing vShield Edge and Org Network are not in a vApp I can't use $vapp.ExtensionData.GetNetworkConfigSection()

Thinking about it while writing this, I guess one option would be to create another vApp and add the Org Network to it, then I might be able to get the info using GetNetworkConfigSection() but I wonder if there is a better/proper/prettier way to do it.

 

thanks in advance!

URL to Platform Services Controller in 6.0 U2

Hi,

 

I upgraded our vCenter Server from 5.5 U3 to 6.0 U2. So the vCenter Server and the PSC are on the same virtual machine (Windows).

 

The Web Client is working, I can log in. But I get a HTTP 404 error if I will open https://vcenter-server-address/psc/

The requested resource is not available. What is wrong here?

 

How can I log in to the PSC? I know that I could do that in my VMware Lab with version 6.0 U1.

 

Thanks,

Oliver

NSX Design Considerations for Automation

I'm working on an environment which is integrated with vRealize Automation. The design put in place was to implement 3-tiers (web, app, db) of logical switches for each application (or service) with a ESG for each application. I am not familiar with the reasons behind this but I'm failing to see why this would be useful. Would a better solution be to simply have a logical switch for each of the three tiers, or even condense this to two logical switches, DMZ and Internal then simply use micro-segmented firewall rules to keep services from talking to each other. These could be split into subnets for consumption by each service.

 

This approach seems a lot simpler to build on demand from vRA as it simply consumes a new subnet and doesn't require creating new logical switches or ESGs each time.

 

Another question. We are using a universal transport zone so we can failover services between DCs, so will all firewall rules lose the ability to use dynamic security groups, and I will have to automate adding into IP sets from vRA. This could get messy

 

interested in your thoughts as I've never been involved in NSX Design before

Всем привет. Может кто сталкивался с установкой ESXi  на это чудо!

Не могу ни как поставить, выдаёт ошибку, что не может найти сетевой адаптер... мол подключите его физически.

Сетевая: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715 Gigabit Ethernet (rev a3) - по крайней мере так говорит ubuntu 16.04

после перезагрузки гостевой машины пропадает сеть

Добрый день, коллеги.

Есть такая проблема: после перезагрузки хоста, с корректным завершением  работы на многих машинах пропадает сеть. Сетевые карты на месте, но пинги не идут не в сторону гостевых машин, не из них. Всегда помогает смена МАС адреса в свойствах сетевой карты, (через Vsphere Client). В чем может быть дело?

Multiple IP's on Summary page of the VM

VM has one nic assigned to it but 3 IP address has been configured.

 

On the summary page of the VM in vCenter, It shows all the 3 ip address and that's causing vadp to fail.

 

This happens on multiple machine. Any idea how should we make only the primary IP to show up on the summary page of the VM ?

Change Writable volumes size to 1 GB

HI

We have a requirement from the customer that they will be using writable volumes for OST and Indexing. Since it will not have any data stored they would like to have the writable volumes size to 1 GB.

 

I tried to follow the steps from VMware blogs for custumizing the appstack size and pointed to the writable volume template. The

 

Creating a Customized App Volumes AppStack Template VMDK - VMware End-User Computing Blog - VMware

 

 

Will reducing the writable volumes size reduce the log on time.

 

We have the base image + Base App stack 20 GB+ Autocad 10 GB + Writable volume 10 GB and the log on time is 1 min. I would like to know the possibility of speeding the log on .

we have already added the registry not to block user on logon as per VMware recommendation.

 

Please Advice

Data Service Container Process Heap Memory Alarms

Every so often, I'm seeing these two alarms appear in the WC.


2015-10-27 10_03_43-Clipboard.png

 

The Data Service container process is running low on heap memory (> 90% utilized.)


followed by


Data Service is functioning properly.

 

They appear and go away within a minute or two every time.  On the Data Service heap memory thing, I did review this KB VMware KB: ESXi/ESX host reports VMFS heap warnings when hosting virtual machines that collectively use 4 TB or 20 T…, but I can't modify the suggested parameters under VCSA 6.  It says it's supposed to just do its job and grow as needed, but to continue to see these pop in and out is bothering me.  It also seems to happen more frequently when a VM CPU usage alarm is triggered.


Does anyone think this is indicative of a bigger problem that I should be concerned about, or is this normal behavior to deal with the amount of activity on the instance?  There are a lot of VMs in use and the datastore is always around 75% full, but CPU and RAM have been 50% or less.  If abnormal, where should I begin to look for any signs of trouble?  RAM capacity of the VCSA or some other config parameter(s) that might need to be tuned?

Пришёл новый HP DL360 Gen9 на который был успешно устоновлен октябрьский custom VmWare ESX image.

В BIOS настройки Power Management поставил "OS Selected".

В ESX  упорно отсутствует поддержка ACPI C-State.

 

Есть другой сервак DL380 Gen8  с точно таким имиджем - Там "Technology: ACPI P-State, ACPI C-State"

Есть подозрение на какую-то настройку в биоса на DL360.

 

Подскажите , если кто сталкивался - в чём может быть проблема.

Disconnecting and reconnecting network cable. Connection is lost until VMware is restarted

November 11, 2016, 12:00 am

I have a VMware workstation 10.0.3. With this I use an external NIC (not the laptops built in NIC). The reson for this is that my IT dep has made a setting in bios that if LAN is connected, WIFI is disabled. This setting is however not valid when using an external NIC.

So when running the VMware I can connect to the equipment that is on the network. But I have to make sure that the network cable is connected BEFORE I start VMware. If I disconnect and reconnect the the network cable after VMware is started I am unable to re-establish the connection. The only way is to restart VMWare. I have tried to disable/enable the external NIC on the host. At first I thought I had "solved" the connection issue but the connection is lost after some 10-20 seconds. The resason why I disconnect the network cable is because I have several networks that I need to test equipment on and these cannot be connected to the same network. I have tried both with a PCMCIA and a USB NIC, but no difference. Why is this happening?

I've skimmed the vROps 6.2 documentation, googled, etc.. but I need a little assistance.

 

My "proof of concept" 2 node HA cluster is working great.  But I need to rebuild it; I don't want to lose the 6 months of data I've collected.

 

My initial build used the "small" and this one I will to use "Medium" virtual appliances.

 

FSDB migration of data? Is that what I need to investigate?

 

How can I move all of the collected historical data from a working cluster into a new cluster?

 

 

Thank you for any assistance.

Use TomTom Navigator in Vmware with Linux host and windows 7 guest

How can I use Tom Tom navigator in a Windows 7 installed in an VMware Workstation 10.0.3 in a Linux Centos 7 (kernel 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64) host ?

When I connect TomTom usb I have, from Vmware, this message:

 

     The specified device is claimed by another driver (cdc_ether) on the host operating system. The device might be in use. To continue, the device will first be disconnected from its current driver.

 

 

How can I disconnect Usb device from its current driver in order to connect it only inside vmware, so that I can use it with windows ?

giving the command: lsusb the response is:

Hello, i am trying  to use a script to prepare esxi 5.5 / 6.0 hosts in vcd without storing the password in the script.  I found and have tested this http://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2012/04  from alanrenouf  but storing the password is a problem and i had issues getting it to pop up a prompt for the credentials.  is there a different way to do this and then disable the host afterwards in powerCLI?

 

I found this to disable a vcd host: Automating vCloud: "Disable Host" and "Redeploy All VMs" , again, not sure if there is other ways.

vRO 7 WF problems

Hi. I'm struggling to get a WF running correctly and I'd appreciate any help as always. I've started with the "get custom props" WF from extendingclouds.com which works fine. I then simply want to output a couple of values from there to the "run script in vmguest" WF. We'll call them WF-A & WF-B for now.

If I add WFB to WFA and bind the inputs/outputs it fails, but it causes the first WF to fail (WF-A) with "TypeError: Cannot call method "get" of null (Workflow:Property Collection and Get VM / Get Properties (item1)#1)". The issue is that this seems ot be the problem no matter which way i construct the Workflow.

I then tried to add the "get custom props" (WF-A) to the WF-b workflow. Both working independantly but again this fails with the same error.

Finally I created a 'master' workflow and added both of these to it, set it up and .......same again! I've added some scriptbale tasks to generate logs at each stage of the WF to be sure I'm getting the correct bindings etc and they look ok.

No doubt I'm missing something simple and I'd really appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks in advance and regards

Steve
