Host exists maintenance mode after remediation.

$
0
0
Something i've noticed recently, not sure if it started with 6.5u2 or 6.7u1, but when i manually put a host into maintenance mode and remediate (apply patches), the host is auto exiting maintenance mode after remediation. 

 

 

This is a behavior change from before, where the host would stay in maint mode (which i prefer), as i'm often applying a few waves of patches, and my environment isn't really large enough to just apply to clusters and let vmware do it all.

 

 


 

 

I've looked around, but i don't see this as an option anywhere. anyone know how to change back to old behavior ? (if i manually enter maint mode, the host should stay in maint mode after updates)

 

Thanks


NFS share cannot mount unless adapter 1 is bridged.

$

I have ESXi host 6.7, with two adapters...

 

1st: set as host only

2nd as Bridged

 

If try and mount NFS share from ESXi to NAS i get an error "Timed out" based on logs.

 

The only way this works is by reversing the adapters i.e. adapter #1 becomes "Bridged", and adapter #2 becomes host only

 

 

I know there is 'fall over' in GUI, but is there anything in ESXI host to say "If it can't reach on 1st adapter, try next one"  Just for convenience so i don't have to recon

HCX APIs via Powershell

$
0
0

I've read and borrowed a lot of pointers from Lam over at VirtualGhetto, but I've been trying to extend his libraries a little further as well as understand some of the nuances of the API.  I'm not a JSON expert by any stretch, but I've put my time into trying to understand the syntax.  However, the HCX API has worked in several locations, but has either failed or escaped me in others.  For instance, what is the difference between the migration Cancel and Delete calls?  Are they both the same?  Or does one just remove the schedule and completes the migration ASAP (like Remove Schedule from the GUI.)  I would image the call would need the current migrationId, but how do I tell if it needs more inputs.  Through trial and error, I know the Cancel just requires the migrationID, but I'm not sure about the Delete (it failed when i tried various parameters.)  And how do I code a date change in the schedule?  I assume it is the Update call, but even thought I pass in the original Migration ID, it just spawns another migration that sits at 'waiting' in the progress meter.  Finally, unlike the new migration schedule commands, I can't seem to find a rescheduled migration from the GUI in the logs.  I figured that if I could see the syntax in the logs, it would help solve these mysteries. 

 

If anyone has any pointers, it would be graciously appreciated!

Hello.

we are running ITSM4.0 with VRA 7.3.1 and Service-now Jakarta.

 

We can import the catalog items into service now and are displayed correctly.  But when you click on the catalog item in service-now, no fields are displayed.  Can't see the CPU, MEM, Storage, or hostname fields.  the form is completely blank.

 

We do see this error message in the Service-now debug log.

any help or direction would be appreciated.

QuickPrep slows down my Linked-Clones

$

0

My environment is Horizon 7.7 with UEM 9.6, vSphere 6 U3. New Windows 10 1809 Master Image with manual optimization and some apps (Office, adobe, chrome…)

Master image is responsive and working as expected.

Pool 1 – Linked-clones - slow windows performance, some errors in event log about "ShellExperienceHost".

Pool 2 – Linked-clones – Windows work as expected.

Pool 3 – Instant Clones – Windows work as expected.

 

Linked-clones are from the same snapshot, I also tried to delete a pool and create from new, sometimes its work as expected sometimes not.

It appears that the problem is not happening in Instant-clones.

I'm planning on doing some test with sysprep and Instant-clones to confirm its only with quickprep.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Is it possible to add an extension point on the top tabs in vsphere client 6.5/6/7 ?

The basic idea to add extension points is that we can add as a submenu under Summary/Configure/Monitor tabs is understood through plugin. But is it possible to add a tab on top beside the Summary/Configure/Monitor tabs?

Troubleshooting Applications

$

What's the best way to go about troubleshooting applications that are attached along with a user writable volume? For instance, if I have an appstack that contains Acrobat Pro XI and then one of my users reports that it's throwing up an error message how should I troubleshoot it? On one hand I don't want to make the problem worse by doing something stupid like reinstalling the app from the user's desktop, but on the other hand I understand that some application problems legitimately need fixed from the user's desktop.

 

In the example above I can take that same appstack and attach it to another user's VM and it works just as expected, however, even if I unassign and reassign the same appstack to the user's desktop who's experiencing the problem it makes no difference (not that I expected that it would). I guess my question boils down to how much troubleshooting is too much? Or how far is too far?

 

When we used Unidesk there was an option to "reinstall" the application layer which would override any user changes that were written to their personalization layer (the changes they made which likely broke the app in the first place). Obviously, no such option exists in AppVolumes so what do I do?

 

How are you guys tacking this problem? I know one answer is to avoid writable volumes altogether and go 100% with UEM but I'm wondering what other routes people are taking?

VMWare Workstation - Can I prevent guest user from entering host?

Hi,

 

When users are working in the guest system, can I prevent them from entering or see the host system?

 

E.g.

When the guest system is on Windows login page and they press ctrl+alt+del then the host system react.

or

Simplt just press the minimize icon in the VMware bar on the top, then they enter the host system.

 

Can this behaviour prevented?

 

Br,
