Vcenter SSO issue

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I was updating from 5.1 Update 1 to update 2 one of my vCenter yesterday.

I successfully update SSO and Inventory Service. After that I wanted to update Vcenter Server, I was expecting to have something to update but no ... I only could modify the Linked Mode configuration or uninstall Vcenter Server ...

From now on I could not connect to my Vcenter Server anymore because it wont start, see attached file for the errors in my vxpd.log file.

 

I did some research on the Internet but didnt found something usefull for the moment...

It would be cool if I would not have to reinstall Vcenter

 

Thanks in advance,

vCAC6IconPack - How to import

I'm sure i'm missing something but I can't see how to import the icon pack.  All the documentation i've found seems to be for version 5.1 and/or I don't have the "vCAC Administrator" menu to get to 'customize' menu.  Has anyone deployed the updated icon pack in vCAC 6.0?

Incorrect size in Datastore Browser after 5.1 update

$

Hello,

 

I have a strange behavior after updating from 4.1 to 5.1. Everything works OK but Datastore browser.

 

When I navegating to a VM dir, virtual disk files are displayed as thin provisioning... even being thick provisioning.

In this "false" thin provisioning, the full size is correct, and the occupied size is "real size / 1024", it's like displaying in GB instead of MB.

 

If I connect from Vsphere client to a ESX (without VCenter) the problem persist.

 

Anybody has any ideas? I have searched but it seems to be the only case reported...

 

Regards,

OM-CPD.

Hi Guys,

 

Strange issue with our prod vCAC instance.

 

When I try and edit a VM that I have provisioned to change memory/storage/cpu allocation it fails almost instantly with the following error:

 

Exception during request callback with id 61fac554-9172-4fe7-9000-0c5cb2f23e65 for item d8c9e7bb-75ef-4c57-808b-2bca6faa6818. Error Message: [Error code: 42000 ] - [Error Msg: Infrastructure service provider error]

 

I'm running vCAC 6.0.1 with vCenter 5.5.1b SSO.

 

Strange thing is I can't see anything in the logs for this.

 

Has anyone got any pointers?

 

Cheers

Learning PowerCLI and Powershell

Hi everyone

 

I have been working with vmware products for a few years now but I am now in a position where i need to become very proficent in powercli and powershell.

 

I dont have a programming background but i am up to the challenge :-)

 

I borrowed the vmware press book "automating vsphere administration" and the first few pages jumped straight into automating a vcenter installation without explaining any of the code syntax so obviously this book is a bit advanced for me.

 

Can anyome recommend books for powershell and powercli that will get me started - books that will help me with the functions and if /else stuff also . I want to get the whole picture

 

Thanks in advance

Cold "offline" clone - what's the latest version of an ISO that will do this

Hi all

 

 

I need to cold "offline" clone an active directory server to our 5.5 platform and I've had a couple of issues with v4.0.3 P2v software on a cold clone on this box, not had issues using this CD prior to 5.5 upgrade, can anyone advise is there a later version of a p2v converter that will handle cold "offline" cloning?

 

 

Cheers in advance.


Problem with host profile - com.vmware.profile.hostCacheConfig.EsxcliError

I'm getting an odd error when checking compliance of a host profile, I get com.vmware.profile.hostCacheConfig.EsxcliError, and the host stays in an unknown state.

No matter what I do I cannot clear it. Even deselecting all the sections makes no difference.


The source an destination hosts are identical in hardware, and they are both ESXi 5.5.


Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

HP ProLiant DL360p gen8, vSphere 5.5 Std и USB Passthrough

Добрый день общественности!

Столкнулся тут с проблемой.

Имеется HP ProLiant DL360p gen8. Прошивки свежайшие. Установлена vSphere 5.5 Std build 1474528 с триальной лицензией.

Не работает USB Passthrough.

Контроллер USB к ВМ добавлен.

lspci из консоли хоста показывает наличие устройства. Но через ВМ - Edit Settings - Hardware - Add - USB Device недоступно.

Мозг сломал уже. Пробовал откат на vSphere 5.1 Std триал, эффекта никакого. Ранее на HP я такие вещи не делал, но на десктопных матерях,

Supermicro и IBM проблем не было. Посоветуйте, куда копать.

Noob needs help with PowerCLI (VMDK, RDM LUN listing)

$

Hello all,

 

I'm new to VMware and scripting and I would appreciate if someone could help me out with what I suppose is a fairly simple task for an experienced VMware professional.


Namely, I have here a few ESXi hosts running on vSphere 5 Enterprise licences which host VMs on local datstores as well as NetApp storage (FC LUNs). Apart from VMDKs, which sometimes reside on different datastores, some VMs also have RDM LUNs (raw devices) directly attached to them via FC.


What I need to do is pull data from the vCenter into, say a .csv or. xls file, with regards to:

 

1. All VMDKs, with the following details:

Name of VM it's attached to, name of datastore that particular VMDK is residing on, name of NetApp controller that is hosting that datastore & path to it's FC LUN on NetApp side (storage details)

Also if possible -- size, percentage used, logical drive name within VM

 

2. All RDM LUNs, with the following details:

Name of VM it's attached to, name of NetApp controller that is hosting that RDM LUN & path to that LUN on NetApp side (storage details)

Also if possible -- logical drive name within VM

 

I would greatly appreciate detailed instructions as I'm quite new to this game.

 

Thanks for reading my message!

Часть машин, запущенных на хосте перестала видеть сеть

День добрый!

Есть кластер из 3-х 2-х процессорных серверов под ESXi 5.0.0.U2

На каждом сервере сконфигурировано по 2 обычных коммутатора (vSwitch)

В каждом коммутаторе по 2 физических интерфейса.

Все интерфейсы тагированы, в каждый приходит 2 VLAN: 100 и 200. 100 -  VM Network, Management Network, 200 - vMotion and IP Storage.

Соответственно, VLAN ID для сервисов в vSwitch0 - 100, в vSwitch1 - 200.

В vSwitch 0 подключены виртуальные машины (трафик) и управляющая консоль.

В vSwitch 1 - vMotion и IP Storage.

На кластере сконфигурированы HA, DRS и несколько правил по расположению машин на хостах.

Произошло следующее:

На одном из хостов часть машин перестала видеть сеть.

Т.е. на часть машин ping проходил, а на часть - нет.

К несчастью, одной из потерянных машин был vCenter.

К счастью, удалось подключиться к хосту напрямую клиентом vSphere.

Консоли "потерянных" машин были доступны, машины работали.

Зашел на vCenter. Ping наружу не проходил. К сожалению, не попробовал пинг на другие "потерянные" машины.

Перезагрузка машины не помогла.

Во вкладке Network Adapters vSwitch0 на vmnic0 был виден весь диапазон адресов в столбце Observed IP ranges а для vmnic1 было указано none.

После удаления vmnic1 из vSwitch 0 работоспособность виртуальных машин возобновилась.

Однако началась процедура миграции их на другие хосты через HA.

В Summary - Resources хоста данных по использованию ресурсов не было.

После перезагрузки хоста данные там появились.

Машины на хост после перезагрузки вернулись посредством того же HA.

Физические линки не пропадали.

Настройки VLANов на интерфейсах коммутаторов не менялись.

vmnic1 на vSwitch 0 пока не возвращал.

Подскажите - где искать причину сбоя?

Slow Disks After Cluster Creation

$

Hi,

 

Apologies if this isn't the correct place for this question, but I wasn't sure where else to put it....

 

I have a Windows Server 2008R2 SP1 cluster, consisting of two VMWare (ESXi 5.1) virtual servers, which is experiencing very slow disk performance (~10mb/s when copying to or from any of the cluster disks). If I destroy the cluster and bring the disks online on a standalone server I can get over 200mb/s. The disks are presented as RDMs, with the two nodes on separate ESX hosts and the disks in Physical Compatibility mode.

 

Could anyone explain why disk performance could become so poor as soon as the cluster is created? All the tests in the cluster validation report passed.

 

Not sure if this helps, but I have also noticed that when I turn maintenance on for each of the disks in Failover Cluster Manager, their performance improves dramatically.

 

Thanks

Adding Second Internal HD

Hello,

 

I have a Mac Pro with four internal HDs.  Two are set up for my Mac OS (Primary and Backup) and two for Windows 7 (again - Primary and Backup).  I have my Windows 7 primary HD set up to run through boot camp (starting my computer in Windows) or through Fusion 4.1.0.

 

The problem is I can't seem to get Fusion to recognize the second (backup) physical internal hard drive.  I can't get it through drive mapping and I can't get it through Fusion's "Add a Drive" option.  I can only add new virtual drives, not physical drives.  I've reviewed all the recent information I found through searches on these forums with no luck.

 

Can anyone address how to do this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Проблемы с релизом vSphere 5.1U2

Честно прошёл путь с 5.0 до 5.1u2. Обновления проходили без проблем. А тут споткнулся на 5.1u2. Аж больно стало. Не работает.

 

При попытке произвести соединения с vCenter через WIN-клиент от vSphere пишет эту хрень -

vSphere Client could not connect to "vCebtre ".

An unknown connection error occurred. (The client cloud not send a complete request  to the server.........).

 

Предположил проблема с обновлением. Попробовал поставить с нуля vCenter 5.1u2. Благо хостов всего 2 и машин всего 10. Но та же ситуация.

 

В инете по этой проблеме вопросы есть - ответов нет.

 

И куда идти не понятно.

hi

          I want to setup a small network environment with vmware ESXi hypervisor.Already i have installed ESXi hypervisor (which i want to act as a server),several VM instances above ESXi and Vmware      Vsphere client for managing the VMs.

        

          Suppose i have a vm (win7) above esxi server (just like a software say matlab installed above a windows server..)..And i want to use that vm from two different clients . Both of the client should use the copy of vm in such a manner that none of the clients should aware what the other is doing in their respective copies of vm copied from the server (just like matlab installed in server used by different users of different client machines). Now I want your suggestion is it possible to proceed  and if what to do the next??

 

thank you

External Supplier Task dynamic assignment

Hi,

 

As I know currently it is not possible to make External Supplier Task (EST) assignment dynamically by a field reference (as it is possible for general Task) neither to Officer neither to External Supplier.
Therefore I'd be really very grateful for any advice how to override this limitation - we have a great demand to assign EST to an external supplier specified in Requests' custom field.

Cannot install vSphere 5.5 on Server 2012 R2 DataCenter

Hi,

 

I am having difficuly installing vSphere 5.5 components on a server 2012 R2 Datacenter Server.

 

If I use the simple install method it installs the SSO components just fine, then it fails to install the vSphere Web Client and asks you to install sepearately.

 

When you try to do this the following error occurs

'File not found.... Z:\\vSphere-WebClient\VMware-WebClient.exe"

vSphere1.jpg


If I try and copy the VMware-WebClient.exe from the DVD to the filesystem the following error occurs.

 

vSphere2.jpg

 

I have turned off UAC in the registry, I have install ADLS and this has not made any difference, it has allowed me to install the vCenter Inventory Service & vCenter Server.

 

The VCDB is running on a seperate Server 2012 R2 with SQL 2012.

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Thanks

vCO sample plugin "SolarSystem" and custom resources in vCAC

$
0
0

Hi guys,

 

i'm fiddeling around using the SolarSystem sample plugin for vCO. Compilation works when done using the eclipse plugin and the import is successfull. I see my SolarSystem plugin in vCO and i'm able to run workflows using it.

Now i want to use it for an advanced service in vCAC - so basically I build a custom workflow which provisions a new SolarSystem:Planet object. From the java source files as far as i know a SolarSystem:Planet object needs 4 parameters: id, name, gravity and circumference. So my workflow simply collects those parameters as input parameters and binds them to the SolarSystem:Planet output parameter object.

 

I double-checked the object is created by printing the object properties in the system console after creation. So next I created a custom ressource (type: SolarSystem:Planet) and a new service for planet creation, which takes my vCO createPlanet workflow and is bound to the SolarSystem:Planet custom ressource as output of the service.

 

The problem is that when a user runs the advanced service, the vCO workflow is run (and finished successfully ) but within vCAC it gets stuck. When looking at the "requests" panel i see that the advanced service is "in progress" but no object (or in vCAC terminology "item" ) is created.

I checked some default workflows (vm copy) for any difference - no luck so far. Now the question remains if it may be something within the custom vCO-Plugin (SolarSystem) that is missing some kind of "object return" which is used by vCAC. Since this was my first shot i have no knowledge about the detailed plugin structure requirements needed for vCAC compatible plugins.

 

 

Any ideas what I'm missing here?

 

 

 

 

greets robert
