Приветствую.

Есть в наличии сервер на платформе Supermicro. Установлено два ЦПУ Intel Xeon E5-2660 V2 2.2 GHz / 10core / 2.5+25Mb / 95W / 8 GT / s LGA2011

На борту 64ГБ ОЗУ.

Какое количество ВМ может комфортно существовать при данной конфигурации? ВМ однотипные, в основном офисные приложения + клиент 1С.

По моим скромным подсчетам, при типовой конфигурации офисной ВМ (1 сокет, 2 ядра, 3 ГБ ОЗУ), выходит около 20ВМ. Если увеличить кол-во памяти в два раза, то около 40ВМ. Это в теории. А в практике?

Какую СХД посоветуете, что бы оно не было узким местом?

Заранее благодарен!

Does UEM have a quick way of removing those Public folders in Libraries?

Hello. Question: how can I rename vCenter 6.0 U3? Is there any manual how to do this? Or create a new vCenter and move the hosts from the old one to it?

Hello everyone,

Can i upgrade my vRealize Operations Manager to the latest version (6.6) is is this dependent of my vSphere version?

So, this is pretty curious, learning a lot about VSAN, vdswitches and VCSA ...

I have a 4 node VSAN cluster running - lab environment at home - it causes me nothing but trouble :-)  but I learn a lot.

So the whole cluster went down hard yesterday and I lost one of the disks completely in the VCSA and could not get it back.  learned the VCSA has 12 disks, never a big fan of VMs with lots of disks... but anyway.

The hosts are still running VMs.  They are using distributed virtual switches and the whole thing just keeps working, but it is basically headless.

I have created a new VCSA now and added one host to it...  It sees the VSAN, but only one host there so it appears to be just the storage on that host in the VSAN.

The hosts are still running on the distributed switches, but none of those are actually on my VCSA

So the whole this is pretty discombobulated... before I start migrating everything to standard vswitches and rebuilding, just wondering if there is anyway I can get this new VCSA to read the switch info from the hosts?   Obviously the old VCSA is dead and I can't export the dvswitch info from it.

So while doing all this, I got to thinking, with VSAN and all, wouldn't it be good if the VCSA kept a copy of all its config on the VSAN itself...  so if you ever lose the VCSA, it could just read the whole structure from the VSAN.   Seems like that would be pretty neat feature - especially as some of it seems to be there already.

Granted, this is a lab, but I do have one VM on there I would really like to keep so I am treading lightly and trying to fix rather than just start it all over again!

any advice/thoughts are appreciated

My setup includes 4 ESXI hosts and about 35 virtual machines.

We had to move our environment between buildings and this process took place over several months so until last week we had all vm's running on 2 of the 4 hosts (we will call them ESXI A and B.  In the last two weeks I've added back the 2 original hosts(C & D).  We have been seeing some wierd stuff with vm's installed on ESXI hosts A&B ie can't ping gateway sometimes, cant ping different servers whether they are physical or virtual until the destination host first pings them then they can ping back until arp entry expires.  Last night I vmotion'd one of the servers having this problem to ESXI host C and all these problems disappeared.  Is it possible for a VDS to screw up like this on one or two hosts?

Hi,

To configure virgo server with any vCenter did the following:

For windows copied the webclient.properties, ds, store,jks in vsphere-client/cfg as in the documentation of 6.5

for VCSA followed the fully automated part of the documentation and webclientproperties got genereated in vsphere-clent/cfg.

started the server by running startup.bat in html-clientsdk/vpshere-client/server/bin/startup.bat

Checked the logs -it has the error:

Hi All. I'm studying to VCAP, and I have a question about LUN Masking process. I'm using vjenner study guide.

When I try to reclaim the LUN using the command esxcli storage core claiming unclaim, I receive a message error "Unable to unclaim path. Some paths may be left in a unclaimeb state. You will need to claim them manually using the appropriate commands or wait a periodic path claiming to reclaim them automatically". All previous commands are made successfully, and the rule was created. Could you help me?

Best Regards.

Hello All,

I changed the vRO output (Which I was getting from powershell) in XML format by using ".getxml" . Now I want to parse and extract the from that xml format. Could anyone help to to write javascript program for this?

Hi everyone, I have a question for you. This is the scenario: 20 laptop (endpoint) in each of wich there are installed Vmware Flex virtual machines. Currently there is a master VM (windows 7) and everytime I make a update/upgrade to that Master machine, I need to upload also all the 20 virtual machine inside the endpoints. The questions are:

1- is it possible to install the Mirage agent inside the physical endpoint and made update of the vmdk of the flex vm? Avoiding to do a full restore of the entire vmdk, but restoring only the delta?

2- if not, can I install mirage agent inside the virtual machine and manage the update/upgrade as if they were physical endpoint?

Can you suggest me which is the better way to manage that 20 vmware flex virtual machines?

Thank you very much

Hello,

I need to automate in PowerCLI one more Step during Org VDC setup, the "Edge Gateway Creation".

At the moment it looks like the only way to do that is directly via API (via PowerShell in my Case):

vCloud Air Documentation Center

Has anyone done that before in PowerCLI / PowerShell or maybe a better way that via API?

Kind Regards,

Markus

We are having trouble recomposing all of our desktops.

The issues came out of no where. Everything was working fine about a week ago. There where no changes on the environment.

View initiates the recompose but does not complete its task.

The first thing View does, is power down the VM, then reverts the snapshot, then copy a file (I am not sure which file) and then removes a snapshot. All the while, the VM is in a powered off state.

At this point, the VM enters a 'error' stat within View.

We rebooted the complete View Infra (even down to the ESX hosts) but that did not help.

This particular customer uses View 5.0.1

The log on the composer states the following:

Hi,

This should be a fairly easy one as Networking isn't my strong side.

Here's my situation and this is strictly for my sandbox at home (currently playing with patching software). I have several machines in my VM environment. Most notably, a DC that is handling AD and DNS.

My environment is NAT'd so that everything talks regardless of internet connection. I also have the following set to handle DHCP for me.

I'm not sure if any of this matters for what I am trying to do but basically, my NAT'd environment gets an IP of 192.168.xxx.xxx and my home network has an IP  of 10.10.xxx.xxx

I can ping one of my test laptops with the 10.10 IP from inside the VM but I cannot ping the 192.168 address of the VM from the test laptop. Any steps that someone could recommend here would be greatly appreciated. I can add more info as may be needed too.

Thanks for any recommendations!

Hello,

I have a VM running without problem on Workstation. I want to upload it to an ESXi.

No matter If I try File-> Convert to OVF or if I use ofvtool via command line. It stops at 45% without yielding any error and with no log.

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool I:\VM_ORIG\VM_ORIG.vmx E:\VM_CONVERTED.ovf

Opening VMX source: I:\VM_ORIG\VM_ORIG.vmx

Opening OVF target: E:\VM_CONVERTED.ovf

Writing OVF package: E:\VM_CONVERTED.ovf

Progress: 45%

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>

The VM has 4 virtual disks and I have removed all .lock files from the original folder.

¿Any clue?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I'm currently working on 6 ESXi 5.5 U3 build 4722766 (on HP DL360 G9 Servers).

All of them are linked with fiber through a switch fiber to a HP 3PAR Disk bay where all volumes are stored.

Last night one ESXi has been blocked itself, its log files repeted these lines since last night :

2017-06-22T20:39:05.656Z: <DATASTOREXXXX, 0> Write error to fd 9

2017-06-22T20:41:37.454Z: <DATASTOREXXXX5, 0> Write error to fd 5

 

 

Because of this issue, VM have been instable and we had to migrate them to another host and they work good now.

I've checked volumes on my HP3PAR bay, there's no alert, no alarm, everything looks good and there is the same thing for the switch fiber.

By the way, i also have a SIOC alarm whereas it's not activated on the datastore :

Do someone has an idea or troubleshooting advice ?

I mean the configuration hasn't been changed and it's really weird that this ESXi works wrong instead of other (which have common storage configuration and the same ESXi version work great)

Thank you for reading

Gael

Hey all,

I just wanted to update a vCSA appliance. Unfortunately it hangs in the status "Checking for aivailable updates..." as has no internet access.

I changed the settings to CD-ROM  updates, mounted the update-repo iso and restarted the appliance, but no luck, it's still in the checking for updates mode.

Anyone has an idea how to stop this process? As the check and install update buttons are disabled during the update search.

Thanks

Tim

Has anyone run into this issue? Are there more detail logs where I can see the credentials that are being passed?

Hello,

Today morning I encountered a slightly annoying issue that none of my guest machines can access internet. I have two host machines (one personal and one desktop) both have about 8 virtual machines in total ( 6 and 2) and none of them can access internet. No problems with host machines. I can access internet on my guest machine IF I have a vpn running on the host OS.

All guest machines are NAT configured . Everything is running on default settings.

I'm not much of a tech savvy but I guess this has to do with the dynamic ip's provided by my ISP. What can I do to fix this? I rather not prefer to use my vpn to access internet on my guest machines.

Please see screenshots.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Host Machines : Windows 10 x64 Creators Update

Gues Machines : Windows 10 x64 Creators Update

Thank you
