my Server 2012 patched this week, since then  I was getting random dropouts of connection to the host, health service monitoring and host status of the vCentre Server. These also coincided with a TCPIP warning in the Server2012 event logs.

Hello

I am using the 6.5 and 6.7 versions of VMware ESXi.

In the 6.5 version, the CPU time for VMKernel (Netpoll thread) processing for received packets in the physical NIC is reflected in% sys of the VMX world of VM in esxtop, but it does not seem to be reflected in 6.7 version I will

 

 

In the 6.7 version, what metric does the CPU time of the Netpoll thread reflect?

Any issues with 6.7 vcenter managing 6.5u2 host?

August 6, 2018, 2:00 pm

We were running a 6.5 u1 VCenter (VCSA), managing a number of ESXI 6.5u1 and 6.0 hosts.  We've upgraded the VCenter to 6.7.0c.

 

I know there currently is no upgrade path from esxi 6.5u2 to 6.7, but is anyone seeing issues with 6.5u2 hosts being managed by a 6.7 VCenter?

 

Our hosts are HP servers, with a mix of G8, G9, and G10 systems.  We'll be updating the ESXi on the G9 and G10's to 6.7. 

 

The G8's aren't supported for ESXi 6.7, but they are supported by 6.5u2.  Since any future upgrade to 6.7 is a non issue for these hosts, I was going to go ahead and update them to 6.5u2.

 

According to the product interoperability matrix, VCenter 6.7 is OK with ESXi 6.5u2, but I just was wondering if anyone come across any issues with this mix.

 

Any info would be appreciated.

L2VPN with Standalone Edge and local egress

August 7, 2018, 12:40 am

Hello,

 

I configured L2VPN between my NSX envirionment(SERVER) and a standalone Edge at a customer site(CLIENT) to stretch a layer 2 network. Both Edges use the same ip address.

Local egress is enabled at the Standalone Edge site, not on my NSX Edge.

 

While this L2VPN is UP, some clients at the customer site randomly lose connectivity to the network that is stretched by L2VPN. I personally think this is an ARP issue.

 

This leads to my question regarding Local egress configuration on the L2VPN Server which is the NSX Edge.

 

Can somebody tell me what local egress at the L2VPN server exactly means?

 

I read different things on the internet saying it is only used for internet traffic so traffic does not have to travel de L2VPN tunnel multiple times.

I also read that enabling local egress at the L2VPN server ensures that ARP requests are filtered so the L2VPN does not reply to ARP request.

 

Thanks in advance!

I have an issue where I am getting constant notification of events as below:

Health of Memory changed from red to green.  Sensor name: Memory Device 1B 12: Uncorrectable ECC, Current state: Deassert (raw value).

 

I have switched memory, but socket number stayed the same, so have been in contact with server manufacturer, who have replaced the memory - same event, and replaced the motherboard with a faulty motherboard, so they put the original back in.

However looking at the IDRAC and logs etc, there are no errors showing on the hardware device.

 

I have tried to reset the sensor in the webclient, but this has not fixed the event.

 

Help please?

Host pink screen

Hi,

 

We're running ESXi 6.0 on a Cisco UCS C220 with a Cisco custom image. The host crashed once a while ago but now it start crashing very often - it went down with a pink screen about 4 times during the weekend. The pink screen says "#PF Exception 14 in world 33504:Cmpl-vmhba2- IP 0x41801c8bf04d addr 0x4310edfe96b6...".

 

I used esxcfg-dumppart to extract the zdump file from the dump partition and I got a 190MB file (about 160MB gzipped). Then I used vmkdump_extract to get the log file. I can see the same exception error in the log. As far as I can tell vmhba2 should be the RAID controller, but other than that I can't tell much.

 

There is anyone who can help me figure it out? Not sure how to make available that large file though...

 

Thanks,

 

Daniel

Creating an AppCapture VM

July 10, 2018, 9:49 am

I'm getting a weird behavior with Windows 10 1803 64-bit and AppVolumes 2.14.0 when trying to capture applications.

 

I can capture applications as expected except when the VM needs rebooted to complete the installation of the desired applications.  Example, Office 2013 updates. 

 

If I create a brand new AppStack and install an application, I can reboot the session as many times as needed without any issues.

 

As soon as I "update" the provisioned AppStack, install either an updated version of the application or Office updates and need to reboot to complete the installation, upon re-logging into the provisioning VM, I get the Windows error "sihost.exe - Unknown Hard Error".  Once that error is thrown the entire user profile is corrupt and my AppStack session is ruined.

 

I've tried this on Windows 10 1709 64-bit and can reproduce it on there as well.  I can replicate this with multiple applications (not just Microsoft products).

 

How are other people building their AppCapture VMs? Do you build them almost identical to your golden template?  Or are you using a plain vanilla VM with no changes made?

 

I have a case open with VMware about this issue but so haven't made any progress.

I can not connect to the Appliance interface (Version 6.5)  using root/password credentials knowing that I can connect directly via ssh without any problem.

 

in the log file we found the message bellow :

51728]ERROR:root:Structure('LocalizableMessage', dict(defaultMessage='The maximum number of sessions has been reached', args=[]om.vmware.applmgmt.admind.authenticate.max.session'))

 

According to the error message, It seems that we have reached a maximum number of sessions on the interface of the Appliance, is this the case? if so, how can this number be reset?

 

We have tried the following procedure without success: delete and recreate the derectory :/etc/applmgmt/appliance/session/, stop and restart the service: vami-lighttpd

 

Any  idea please ?? thinks in advance.

Hello,

I'm trying to run a VMware Conversion of an old laptop as a backup. I've run a VMware conversion and converted it to a vm 9 image file.

 

When it gets opened in VMware Player everything works except for the keyboard inputs. The only way I can type on the screen is using either the on screen keyboard or connecting in with TeamViewer.

 

Looking in Device Manager shows that the following error.

 

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

 

Has anyone come across this before and know if a solution?

I've been experiencing an issue with Windows 2000 and XP virtual machines where the audio is garbled, cracks, and is distorted.

 

Looked all over the internet for a fix, but none of them are working. I've tried reinstalling VMWare Tools, installing drivers for the Creative EsoniqPCI card, editing the .vmx file, and changing the hardware compatibility.

 

If anyone has a working fix, I would be glad to try it.

Migrate Network from Standard switch to VDS

December 3, 2014, 4:15 am

Hi

 

I'm planning to migrate few of my clusters which are running in standard switch to DVS.Need help to automate this process.

 

My scenario is :

In a environment 15cluster are present 5 are already running in DVS
but 10 clusters are still in standard switch so I need to migrate them
to already existing DVSwitch.

Taking one 10node cluster as example.
1)mgmt and vmkernel are on one vswitch (ex: vswitch 0)
[vswitch 0 --- Connected with 2 vmincs ]

 

2)virtual machine portgroup in one vswitch (Ex: vswitch 1)
[vswitch 1 --- Connected with 2 vmincs ]

 

On all the clusters we need to migrate only virtual machine portgroup
or vmnetwork (ex:vswitch 1) to DVs excluding mgmt and vmkernel network.
My plan:
First add all the hosts in cluster to DVswitch
Remove any one redundant vmnic (ex:vmnic3) connected to virtual machine portgroup. (Ex: vswitch 1) and add this to DVswitch.
Now migrate all vms connected to standard switch to dvs.(Here i struck)
Is there any way if VLAN 10 (standard switch) consists of 5 VMS then
check VLAN 10 in DVS and set network adapter portgroup to VLAN 10 on the
vms (I mean can we compare VLAN IDs on VSS and VDS and based on than we
need to migrate vms to DVS.)

As below :

VLAN_58_VDS.JPG

 

VLAN_58_VSSD.JPG
If it works successfully then need to check ping status of all vms (ignore powered off vms)
If ok then proceed to map second nic (ex:vmnic4) from VSS to VDS.

 

Used Script:

# ESXi hosts to migrate from VSS to VDS
$vmhost_array = @("host1","host2")
# Adding Hosts to existing VDswitch
$vds = Get-VDSwitch -Name "SM_UAT"
foreach ($vmhost in $vmhost_array) {
# Add ESXi host to VDS
Write-Host "Adding" $vmhost "to" $vds_name
$vds | Add-VDSwitchVMHost -VMHost $vmhost | Out-Null
# Migrate pNICs to VDS
Write-Host "Adding vmnic2 to" $vds
$vmhostNetworkAdapter = Get-VMHost $vmhost |Get-VirtualSwitch -Name "vswitch1" |select -ExpandProperty Nic |select -First 1
$vds | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostNetworkAdapter $vmhostNetworkAdapter -Confirm:$false
# Migrate VMs from VSS to VDS
Write-Host "migrating vms from VSS to VDS"
