vRO Plugin for vSphere Client

$
0
0

I have been trying out the beta plugin for the HTML5 vSphere Client which allows executing workflows directly from vCenter similar to the old plugin for the Flash-based Web Client in the past.

It works great in a lab environment, but I'm running into an issue when trying to use it on a vCenter server where the machine SSL certificate has been replaced (from our Active Directory CA). Even though the vRO appliance has no trouble connecting to the vCenter for authentication with this cert, when trying to run a workflow via the plugin, I'm getting the following:

 

 

[ERROR] tp-nio-127.0.0.1-5090-exec-4  com.vmware.vcoin.certificates.VcTrustManager  Server certificate chain is not trusted and thumbprint doesn't match
[ERROR] tp-nio-127.0.0.1-5090-exec-4  com.vmware.vcoin.exceptions.GlobalExceptionHandler  Exception handled while processing request for /ui/vcoin-ui/rest/vcobjects:  com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.ClientTransportException: HTTP transport error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Server certificate chain is not trusted and thumbprint doesn't match

 

This is from the vsphere_client_virgo log. In vCenter itself, all it says is "Problem in communication with one or more Orchestrator servers" which isn't very helpful.

 

I'm not aware of any official place to send feedback for this kind of thing, so I'm trying here. Let me know if there's someplace better!

 

Thanks,

Andrew

NSX-T: Tier0 uplink to overlay N-VDS

$

Hello,

 

I'm testing NSX-T in my lab with only TIer0 edge node and I have a confusion regarding the fp-nics:

  • nic1 >> management.
  • fp-eth0 >> connected to an overlay N-VDS, but I'm forced to select a vlan-backed portgroup from the ESXi host, from a VSS switch!!!, so, I'm confused about this, where should this interface lead and where should I exactly connect it, and what's the function of that interface?
  • fp-eth1 and eth2 >> connected tl VLAN transport zone and I have no issues with them.

 

Regarding the confusion I have, fp-eth0 interface is now on the same vlan as the namagement nic, I gave it a static IP in that VLAN, and everything works fine, meaning, VMs on NSX-T can communicate with the physical world using BGP.

 

Again, what's the purpose of the interface(s) that connects to the overlay N-VDS, and why can't I choose a portgroup that already represents a segment (logical switch) on that N-VDS swich?

 

All VMW guides are only focusing on multi-tier deployment, I need to test all scenarios, single tier, and multi tier.

 

Thanks,

P2V - HP 8000 Elite PC - Win7 to vSphere

Greetings,

 

     I am sort of new to virtualization, haven't used it in more than a decade.  I need to to create V2P using "VMware-converter-en-6.2.0-8466193" client.  There is a one off machine that is vulnerable that we need to have a good backup of.  I know a VM can be made very easily.  The question that has been posed to me is to make a VM of system to our vSphere and convert to a Windows Server 2016.  Is this possible?  Back in the day dissimilar hardware was a factor in doing this and would result in a tenuous VM at best.

     Physical system is an HP 8000 Elite CMT PC with Win7 64 bit

 

Apologies for the newb question, I am trying to read and catch on the technology.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Regards,

I am new to Regular Expressions. I am working with vRealize Automation 7.6 and would like to set a constraint on one of the fields to make it mandatory to use the letters "su" at the end of the field. It must match this format: "firstname.lastname.su"

 

How would I write that?

HOWTO: Add users to skyline advisor

So I can access the advisor and I get all our relevant data (for the VMware Cloud Services one)

I invited two additional users to our Identity & Access Management tab and active users.  They can both login to VCS, however when they try goto skyline application they get the denied as they have nothing associated.  All three of us have the same service roles (user & admin), but they are org members, I am the org owner.

 

How do I associate them with the skyline account?

How to open a support ticket regarding the support ticket portal

Hi,

How do I open a ticket regarding the ticket portal?

 

None of items in the drop-down selections for the issue type sound anything like "I can't add a comment to a ticket", so I'm not sure where to take this question.

 

Thanks,

USB passthrough not working

$

System:

I have VMWare workstation pro 15 : version 15.1.0 build-13591040 fully installed with the current VMware tools running in the guest

Guest OS is Windows 10 pro

Host OS Linux Mint 19.1 completely patched & kernel 4.15.0-52-generic    with AMD Ryzen 1600 & 32 Gigs of ram. Otherwise working flawlessly outside of this feature issue in VMWare workstation 15. Virtualization is turned on in the B450 bios.

 

Problem:

I cannnot get USB passthrough working at all. I have a USB headset and USB drive to get passed through to the guest OS and its not working.

 

Detail:

In the VM settings, USB 3.0 compatability is loaded and boxes are checked green for "automaticaly connect new USB devices" and also "show all usb input devices". I recently also checked "share bluetooth devices with the virtual machine" but I dont think that is related to basic USB passthrough.

 

Note: When I use VirtualBox on this same PC, the USB devies show up just fine in those guests.

 

Note2: I am a Linux newbie so go easy on me with the suggestions as I am just learning how to do stuff in Linux shell.

Visio 2016 - Keeps running Office 2016 configuration

To create this app stack:

  1. Downloaded Visio 2016 VL from MS VLSC (verified it is not retail version)
  2. Followed instructions from here to build Office 2016 on the ref image: VMware Knowledge Base
  3. Created a new app stack on this ref image VM, using the Visio 2016 MSI installer previously downloaded.
  4. Ran cscript.exe ospp.vbs /rearm

I get the Office setup, whenever this Visio 2016 app stack is assigned.

 

As part of troubleshooting I have:

  • Run the Office 2016 repair while provisioning
  • Run the Office 2016 and Visio 2016 repair during provisioning
  • Created the app stack on a 'vanilla' VM without Office 2016 suite

Expanding Virtual Windows 10 disk

Hello - I tried to expand my 60 GB virtual disk for Windows 10 to 75 GB. To expand the container on Mac was no problem. After that, I wanted to bring Win to acknowledge the new size. I opened Disk Manager an found the c: disk. In the bottom row the new size was listed as 15 GB not used. Via right-click on the c: symbol in the top list should be the option "Expand disk“ but is is disabled. Now I am stuck. Any proposals?

 

Thanks for help - MK

Is vCenter 'Active Directory sites and services' aware?

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Can somebody tell me how the authentication process with an Active Directory domain with multiple Active Directory sites works? The vCenter is joined to the domain and we are using this domain as an Identity Source (configured with Active Directory - Integrated Windows authentication). The Active Directory domain is configured with sites and services, so our Windows clients uses the correct Domain Controllers which are assigned to the correct subnet/site. Windows clients uses the 'Domain controller locator' process for this.

 

Does vCenter use this same mechanisme for the authentication process? Is vCenter 'Active Directory sites and services' aware?

And if not, (and vCenter uses all Domain Controllers for authentication) what will happen if the domain controllers of the other site are unavailable?

 

Kind regards,

Code Snippet needed for HA options ...

Hi All

 

We have a pretty massive Powershell deployment script which works really well.

At the moment it will reference a CSV pull all the data in and deploy based on that. Covers Disks, SCSi Adaptors, NICs, Advanced options, Hardening IP, DNS Hot add disable, Tags and all the other tweaking required so it does the lot !! 

However there is a new parameter being added to our service catalogue and i really dont know the PS commands to run the required function so any help as a starter for 10 really really appreciated.

 

So what i need to do is add a VM to the vCenter HA options for vM over-rides section with a value of Disabled

Any ideas how i can run this in powershell \ powercli..?

 

Cheers all

Current setup:

vCenter Server 6.5 U1 installed on windows.
External PSC installed on windows.

 

Desired Setup:

Embedded PSC/vCenter appliance 6.7 U2

 

 

Can I go straight from 6.5 U1 to 6.7 U2 migration?  Does the migration also converge the external PSC into single appliance?  Do I have to update to 6.7 U2 first and then use the converge tool?  Thanks!

When usually the SAN storage LUN GPT table will get corrupted?

$

In the recent past, we noticed that in our environment that, few of the LUNs GPT table got corrupted, however the backup GPT is good.

Due to this, the backup jobs are getting failed as the transport mode is configured / selected using SAN.

We use SAN storage in our environment.

 

Can some one help me to understand better in which case scenario the primary GPT will get corrupted on the LUNs?

 

TIA


Windows 7 Ethernet not connecting after upgrade to 11.1.1

$

0

After upgrading Fusion to 11.1.1, a Windows 7 VM is no longer able to connect to the network. The symptom is the same as if a physical cable had been removed. I.e., there is a red x over the network connection. This connection uses bridging to the Mac's Ethernet connection so that the VM has its own IP address on the subnet. This was all working prior to the upgrade, and no changes have been made to the setup. Rebooting the VM has not helped. VMware tools were updated, with no effect. We've also tried disabling and enabling the network interface on the Windows side, and we've also disabled and enabled the VM network adapter.

 

Anyone else encountering this problem?

Automatic Tools upgrades on 2016 servers causing network cards to be removed?

$
0
0

We were running 6.5u2 and have typically set our Windows VMs to "Check and Upgrade VMWare Tools before each power on".  So almost 100% of our VMs had version 10287.  This has always worked fine as when the servers go to reboot for Windows Updates, they will just reboot again automatically for vmware tools updates during that same maintenance window.

 

We just upgraded to 6.7u2 and had about (10)2016 servers go offline last night when they were rebooting for windows updates(and attempting to upgrade tools to 10341).,  When I connected to the console on them they had rebooted for windows updates, were complaining that they still needed vmware tools installed, and were missing all of their NICs(vmxnet 3).  So I had to install VMWare tools, configure the nic correctly and reboot them to bring them back online.  We have not had any issues with 2008r2, 2012r2, or 2019 servers and those have all updated normally.  Has anyone else seen this problem? It almost feels like it is removing vmware tools during the upgrade and leaving the servers hanging in limbo until they reboot again, but I was more focused on getting the servers back online than looking for more details about the problem.

ESXi hangs after "dma_swapper loaded successfully" message

$

I tried to reinstall ESXi (which apparently is successful) and reboot the system, but still hangs at the same place. 

Configuration:

1) Dual 2nd generation Intel Xeon(r) workstation

2) 192GB of DRAM

3) 512GB of DCPMM (Optane mem)

4) 1TB SSD

5) 256GB of PCIe M2 NVMe

6) 4 NVIDIA 2070 gfx cards

7) ESXI 6.7 U2

 

Most likely the issue cropped up when I enabled pass through for the gfx card (suspicion) since I see that other users that had the same problem reported too.  However I cannot connect to the system via Vsphere to reset things, nor access it via management port.  No solution provide online as far as I can google.

thanks,

VMWare Version Support Timeline Policy

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I was wondering if someone can please advise what VMWare's official patching policy is for supporting recently succeeded versions of VMWare Workstation.

 

This question comes about after seeing that Windows 1903 creates problems with black screens and locking up. A problem that was reported back in April but has since been fixed in version 15 only.

 

My main concern is that this currently indicates that someone could purchase a version of VMWare and less than 12 months later it is no longer supported or patched. That's at least how it appears at the moment because for those who purchased VMWare in June 2018 - they would have gotten VMWare 14. (15 had not been released). 10 months later this issue was reported, but no fix has been presented.

 

The obvious solution is to upgrade to version 15 if this is the case, however if I buy 15 now, and another update happens in a few months time that breaks it again, and 15 has been succeeded by version 16, I could have to upgrade twice in the matter of a few months.

 

Just chasing clarification so I can make a firm decision which path I take moving forward with virtualisation.

 

Thanks

 

Adam
