Microsoft Authenticator doesn't like Hub since last update (03/25/2020) - Android

$
0
0

Hi there!

 

We use Microsoft Authenticator for MFA and so the app is pushed on our Android smartphones (mainly Samsung Galaxy).

Since the last update of Authenticator (03/25/2020), when launching the app, we get the HUB pop-up "Impossible operation, you don't have the right to do this action. Contact your IT administrator..." - not sure of the message since mine is in french .

 

It looks like Authenticator is trying to do something that HUB doesn't like... but what?

 

Do you know how to find what is doing this?

Did you encountered the same issue?

 

Best regards, take care.


Datastore 2 'insufficient space'

$
0
0

in vSphere, i'm trying to use the free space from another datastore..

So I have 2 data stores currently: 20 Gig and 40 Gig capacities

 

Datastore1 has only 2Gig free and i have plenty of free space on datastore 2

 

When i go under 'Edit settings' on first VM, an Add 2nd hard drive, the 'location' i specify  'datastore2' and disk size i change to 38Gig..

 

This works as first VM powers on and can see 2nd hard drive with the space available..

 

However, due to swap file issues, VM 2 is now broke, and will not power on.. So i'm trying to find out a:) the 'sweet spot' of how much to leave?? I've tries under VM options of 2nd VM to place swap file elsewhere, but and/or workaround by adjusting resources to full memory as somehow it worked for some people with "no swap space" but in this case,  neither of these worked.

 

Obviously it would depend on the disk size of the 2nd VM in all cases: for instance  (leave 8Gig free for... or leave 10 gig free etc...) is there a rule of thumb?

 

If i remove 2nd hard drive from 1st VM, 2nd one powers back up as normal...  Basically, i'm trying to figure out  what point it breaks:

2nd vm fails

 

Screen Shot 2020-04-08 at 9.34.27 am.png

 

It can be done, because after powering on 1st VM with two hard drives Windows detects second one with freespace coming from datastore 2, but unfortunately breaks 2nd vm from powering on.

I need to update ESXI patch in 40 ESXi Host. is there any script that automate the task to update the patch. That includes reading ESXi server name and datastore name from csv file. And then enabling ssh service and copy the respective patch to ESXi datastore and then start updating by power off the virtual machine and put ESXI host in maintenance mode.

VCSA 6.7.0 - can't get updates of any kind to go...

$

Hello,

 

I have VCSA 6.7.0.  I see there is 6.7.0a - so I downloaded the ISO for this (VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.7.0.11000-8546234-patch-FP.iso).  I connect this to the cdrom, and I try via command line:

 

Command> software-packages stage --iso

[2018-06-28T17:54:56.179] : ISO mounted successfully

[2018-06-28T17:54:56.179] : ISO unmounted successfully

[2018-06-28T17:54:56.179] : Target patch version is not supported.

 

I've also noticed that in Updates (i.e. VUM) - I have no icon for Updates.  All other functions (Administration, Policies, etc.) have a small icon.  Updates is blank (but I can click on it).

 

Once I'm in updates, the only "available" updates are from 2015 and version 6.0.0 ?!  I choose Download, and the task fires that claims it's downloading updates.  Nothing changes though.

 

One other data point - I initially installed this on eval licenses, and I just today bough Essentials and applied the licenses.  I rebooted VCSA clean after applying the licenses.  No change.

 

TL;DR: VCSA with updates completely stuck.

Dear VMware engineer,

  

Recently, I failed to create the virtual machine and migrate the virtual machine on VCSA (6.7.0.42000), but I can create the virtual machine on ESXI. The error report is as follows:

 

Failed to Create a virtual machine:

  PBM error occurred during PreCreateCheckCallback: Connection refused: The remote service is not running, OR is overloaded, OR a firewall is rejecting connections.

 

Failed to migrate virtual machine:

I have restarted vCenter Server Application three times, and the problem still exists. but I don't know how to restart the service.

 

 

Thank you very much.

Attempting to upload image into vCenter Update Manager.  Uploading file progress bar moves pretty quickly most of the way to 100%, then restarts a few times, then quits here.  No error beyond the red banner.

I've updated vCenter and still have this.  No idea what to look at next as there is no error.  G Search indicates one cannot upload an older image but this one is not older.

vCenter Server 6.7 fails to load Updates Tab for a VM

$

I updated a VM's Hardware to match host first. After that completed, I went to update the VMware Tools to match host but now I get a red bar with a message stating

 

An unexpected error has occurred.

 

 

Every time I go to the Updates tab for this VM, I get this message. I also get this message when I go to the Host and click the Updates tab >  VMware tools. IF I move the VM off this host and then go back to the Updates tab of the host, it works fine and tells me an overview of what VMs need updates for VMware Tools.

 

I was able to update the VMware tools of this VM by clicking an update now link in the summary tab of the VM. I confirmed the newer version on the VM via server itself. This errror though still remains for this VM. I have restarted the upgrade manager service in the VMware Appliance but sadly no luck.

 

I have attached some screenshots of this error. Any ideas on a solution?

Activation IPV6 hôtes en environnement IPV4

Bonjour,

Nous avons actuellement un réseau entièrement configuré en IPV4.
J'ai fait la migration VMware VSphere Vcenter Server dela 6.5 vers 6.7 avec les dernières mises à jour. Et du coup cette alerte est apparu sur Skyline :

"ESXi 6.5 or 6.7 host with IPv6 disabled"

 

Avant de migrer VReplic (qui ne fonctionne plus) et les ESX vers leurs dernières versions, j'aurais aimé régler tous les problèmes aupparavant.

 

Du coup j'ai vu la solution qui consistait à activer l'IPV6 sur les ESX. Ma question est : ais-je juste à activer l'IPV6 depuis l'interface VMWare pour les hôtes concernés puis de redémarrer  et VMWare s'occupe de tout ? ou pas ^^ ?

 

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

 

Cordialement,

Nicolas.

vRA8 request timeout maximum

I'm trying to simulate the external approval system of vra7 in vra8.0. I start a vRO workflow at deployment.request.pre that is polling the external system.

 

I wonder when it will timeout? I increased the request timeout of the project to 14d but I'm not sure this will work. I started the deployment and clicking on the provisioning diagram I get the following message:

Is this a hard coded maximum I cannot exceed?

I have vROPS 6.6.1 running in a Horizon 7.8 envrionment.  I have the Horizon Adapter installed and talking to Horizon.

 

The issue I have is when I log into vROPS, all of the widgets in my dashboards are collapsed all the way to the left.  I have to expand them all so I can see the data.   Even after doing so, the next time i log into vROPS, they are all collapsed again.

 

Has anyone else seen this issue?
