vcsa 6.5 update - VAMI not working (SOLVED)

$
0
0

I updated vcsa 6.5 to build 4944578 (released 2/2/2017) and the management interface was not working after the update.  Poking around I found that the vami-lighttp service startup was failing.  Looking further it was complaining it couldn't bind to an IPv6 address.  hmmm...   Further checking found there were complaints being spit out about the config file.  So I checked /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and there was a duplicate entry for server.use-ipv6 = "disable", with the 2nd occurrence coming on the last line of the file.  I commented this last line out and restarted the service.  Bingo, it works.

 

Including here so anyone else that hits this problem can find my solution.


Настройка vSwitch

$
0
0

Если я правильно понимаю то vSwitch не использует для коммутации таблицу коммутации как в обычном физическом свиче. Вместо этого он просто смотрит на сами виртуалки и на то какие MAC адреса на их виртуальных интерфейсах которыми они включены в сам свич.

Однако, в моем случае, одна из виртуалок создает тоннель который соединяется мостом с этим самым интерфейсом и ожидается что таким образом можно будет продлить L2 сегмент. Однако, как только какая либо машинка хочет отправить пакет другой машинке которая находится за тоннелем то дальше vSwitch эти пакеты не ходят. Видимо из за того, что в этом пакете, в поле disitination mac находится MAC адрес который сам vSwitch не видит ни в одной ВМки подключенной к нему.

Конечно если включить Promiscuous mode то все начинает работать. Однако, это не выход.

 

Можно ли как то заставить vSwitch работать так же как физический свич? то есть заставить его работать используя таблицу коммутации вместо того, что бы смотреть на мак адреса подключенных к нему ВМок?

Creating an AppCapture VM

$
0
0

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.

When I try to use connect-viserver i get this error:

PS C:\Users\dbrame> connect-viserver 192.168.11.71
connect-viserver : The 'connect-viserver' command was found in the module 'VMware.VimAutomation.Core', but the module

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (connect-viserver:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule

anyone have an idea of what the issue could be.

 

This isn't the only command that is not working, but its the main one I need to work. This is on a Windows 10 machine with the latest version of PowerShell. Funny thing is that VMware.PowerCLI module works with PowerShell Core, but not Powershell.

Capacity Overview not updating

$

Good afternoon,

 

We have a new 3-node cluster that will be replacing some old hosts & a small storage array.  I have about 2.5 TB moved over already but the "Capacity Overview" under Monitor -> vSAN -> Capacity is not updating.  The capacity that I have used is shown in the summary tab however.

 

Any ideas where to start looking for an issue?

 

We are running vCenter 6.5 U1, vsan 6.6.1

3x C220 M5s, 1 flash, 4 capacity per host

 

Thank you!

Supermicro 2U Twin Servers

I am researching and don't know much about VMWare ESXi.  I want to know if I have a 2u Twin server with 4 motherboards, 8 cpu's, RAM and storage, can I have all of those resources managed under one ESXi instance or would it be 4 seperate instances?

 

If it is 4 seperate instances, how do blade servers recognize the additional blades?  Is it different version of ESXi?

 

Cheers


Windows server 2016 crashes after hot-plug CPU

$
0
0

When we first built our Windows 2016 template, we tested hot-add RAM and hot-plug vCPU.  Both worked and so we enabled it in the template.  However, today when we tried to hot-plug a CPU on a live server, it crashed.  I built a few test servers and it consistently crashes now whenever we hot-plug.

 

Now in full disclosure, our template have been updated many times - and I don't believe we test hot-plug after every change.  So I am pretty sure it is some change we recently made that caused it to break...including VMware hardware version 11.  I am pretty sure we have updated to 11 since the original template was developed.  I am betting that is the problem.

 

Has anyone else seen this problem and know the cause and/or solution to it?

Thanks

Unified Access Gateway 3.0 Route Add/Delete

I hope this is just a quick couple of questions and I'm just blind from finding it online.

 

When you deploy UAG, you can add routes that are needed for 2NIC and 3NIC configurations.

 

1. How do you delete one of these routes? I do not see ifroute-eth* files that I would normally see on Suse.

2. What is the proper process for adding a route?

 

Thank you!

The system cannot find the file specified.

Running Workstation 12.5.

 

I was suspending my Windows 8.1 VM and it hung up.  The host OS showed the program as unresponsive and asked if it wanted to be closed.  I said No twice, but then clicked on yes.  It still didn't terminate the process for another 5-10 minutes.  I then tried to resume the Windows 8.1 VM and get an error "The system cannot find the file specified."  I can see the desktop like it is suspended normally.  I have looked in the log, but can't make out anything obvious to me.  It wouldn't be the end of the world if I can't get it back, but it would save a lot of time rebuilding and installing my old applications.  I have attached the log file and vmx file. Thanks in advance.

Does Skyline parse vCenter and ESXi logs for potential issues or problems or does it just check for missing or applicable patches?

Hello.

 

I'm reading this as I'm having trouble to make a central Scratch location work: Solve Ramdisk Full Error Issue Post Upgrading to ESXi 6.5

 

The last part requires that the driver is not in use.

 

The Emulex driver is present but I can't be sure whether it is in use or not.
