I want to use virgo server to debug my plugin, but I got the 9090 port is used, and I could not find where is the web client 6.5 service as the previous version. So how could I start my virgo server in STS? I use vcenter 6.5 for windows.

I could not find the web client 6.5 service in the services list any more, where could I stop it?

Here is the story, I install the vcenter 6.5 windows version on the same system with STS IDE, I need to stop the web client 6.5 service and start the virgo server to debug. Else the port 9090 is used.

Is there anything I should know?

4k Screen on host (Windows 10) has small resolution on guest (lubuntu) for VMWare Workstation Player 12

0

I have gone through several similar posts over the past year or two. There's no concrete solution to this.

 

- Tried messing with the configuration file. The svga width, height, and vram size settings.

- Tried adding more video memory by enabling "Accelerate 3D graphics".

- Disabled the DPI settings.

- Tried some more things which didn't work.

 

 

Can anyone please point out a good fix for this problem? Everything is so tiny on the screen.

3D Issue with games

Hello,

 

Not sure whether I should come here or to the linux amdgpu developers for this one?

 

With both the current simcity and simcity 4 games there is an issue where the lighting is not correct after having switched from the AMD drivers to the AMDGPU open source drivers on my linux host where the Win7 Pro VM resides. The screenshots attached probably provide a better explanation than I can write for this one. I had not issues with the previous versions of the ati-drivers versions 15.12, 15.9, etc.

 

My host is running kernel 4.9.33 and Workstation 12.5.7.

Need some help troubleshooting network problems - ESXi 5.5

0

We are having some very odd networking problems and working with the network team we are running out of ideas.

The problem:
VMs on standard vSwitches are experiencing problems talking to other systems on the same vLAN resulting in dropped packets and RPC errors even when on the same VM Host.

Here is a quick and dirty how the network is laid out: http://imgur.com/a/iJIFJ

ESXi NICs are hooked up to Nexus1 and Nexus2. When VMs attempt to communicate the path will often go to the wrong physical address, fail to communicate, and then update ARP tables and go to the other NIC.

The vSwitches are configured to load balancing with "Route based on IP hash" and because we are using standard vSwitches we do NOT have LACP enabled.

We have noticed this problem only exists on the Dell cluster which is hooked directly into the nexus environment. The UCS cluster which is plugged into FIs does not share the problem. I suspect this is because the UCS FIs share ARP tables and it never makes it back to the Nexus 5ks.

My suspicion is that there is a problem between the 2 Nexus 5k switches and they are not sharing ARP tables properly, but the network team is insisting that the problem lies with either the ESXi or Windows OS layer within the VMs. I'm not versed enough in low level network operations to argue this, but I'm at a loss for how to troubleshoot this further and get a definitive answer.

 

Some solutions we've tried:
1. Setting up a dvSwitch on a test box and enabling LACP. This saw no change.
2. Dropping 1 NIC on the vSwitch and force paths to go up Nexus1. This caused the problem to stop, but is unacceptable as a solutions as it removes our path redundancy.

 

Some things network team wants us to try but we haven't done yet:
1. Manually changing the VMs' "reachable time" on the NICs to a lower value.
2. Changing out the VMXNET3 interfaces for E1000
3. Enabling LACP on the Standard vSwitches (This isn't supported)
4. Upgrading to ESXi 6 (we're note ready for this migration yet)

 

We're really pulling our hair out over this one...has anyone ever encountered these problems before?


AVX2 Error Message on Windows 10

Hi,

 

I am trying to run a Netscaler VPX appliance on vmware workstation pro and I get the following error:

"This virtual machine requires AVX2 but AVX is not present. This virtual machine cannot be powered on"

Capture.PNG

These are the details of my computer:

Model: HP Elitebook 745 G3

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise

CPU: AMD PRO A10-8700B

Memory: 8GB

AMD-V is ON in the BIOS settings

Hyper-V is NOT installed on the computer

Already turned on AVX from BCDEDIT by running "bcdedit /set xsavedisable 0"

If I run the vm on a computer with the same hardware but with Windows 7, IT WORKS.

 

Does anyone have any suggestion? I´ve come across a couple of posts that have the same issue with Workstation on Windows 10.

Добрый день.

 

Есть два хоста ESXi на 5.5 и 6.5 c DAS хранилищами.

 

Возникла необходимость переместить ВМ на другой хост.

 

Есть ли какое-нибудь решение для бесплатной лицензии?

 

Пробовал выгружать с датастора через vsphere, но данный процесс идёт очень медленно.

SRM Authentication Issues

Hello everyone

 

I have completed an installation of SRM at two seperate sites and have managed to pair the two sites using the SSO Admin account. However, when I log in with my user account witch has admin rights at root level I get a connection error when accessing SRM in the webgui.

 

Next thing I tried was assigning the SRM Administrator role on the site wile logged in with the SSO admin account. Yet when logging back in with my user account which is now SRM admin on the site I get same permissions error.

 

Has anybody experience this and gotten around it?

VDP 6.0.2 - Missing gear icon for adding Data Domain

0
0

Hi all.

 

We have deployed a VDP 6,0.2 over a vSphere 5.5 on which we will integrate a Data Domain as storage for backups.

 

However, after going to the storage tab there is no "gear icon" to get action list such as "Add Data Domain".

 

We are running vCenter Server / ESXi hosts 5.5,

We have and up to date Adobe Flash Player Plugin installed

We have tested from different browers above the release requested in the documentation:

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer 10.0.19 and later.
Mozilla Firefox 34 and later.
Google Chrome 39 and later.

 

We don't know what can be failing, but at the end as we cannot see the icon to add Data Domain, this integration cannot be done.

 

Do you have any suggestion/idea what can we do?

 

Thanks in advance.

VSAN Witness location in Virtual Centre

0
0

Hello,

 

I am a little confused over where the witness appliance should be located with regard to virtual centre.

My vSAN is a 2 node direct connected cluster with a witness in a different site.

Both the witness & the vSAN hosts are connected to the same Virtual Centre.

The vSAN hosts sit in their own datacentre & then a vSAN enabled cluster within that DataCentre.

The Witness sits in its own DataCentre (no cluster configured).

I have configured each of the hosts to send the witness traffic over the management network.

In the following post there is a video & it shows the witness in its own datacentre.

vSAN 2 Node with Direct Connect - Virtual Blocks

 

On the witness server I have the error 'Host with vSAN service enabled is not in the vCenter cluster'

The witness does not need to be in a vSAN enabled cluster (mine is in its own cluster (will have more witnesses soon)) that I am aware of.

Does this need to be in a vSAN enabled cluster?

 

Thanks,

Matt Riddler


ESXi 5.5U3 Storage Failure - troubleshooting advice is needed

0
0

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

2017-06-22T20:40:11.217Z: <DATASTOREXXXX, 0> I/Os from datastore naa.60002ac0000000000000016f00009893 took 60.849006(>= 30.000000) seconds to complete stats computation. Reducing its polling frequency.

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

VMware Tools Not Running (Current)

0
0

Hello,

 

Two Windows 7 VMs show, in the Summary tab, VMware Tools : Not Running (Current). And actually, Veeam One, monitoring the VMs gives two alarms "heartbeat is missing for VM".

 

It looks very much like KB 2063887 "The Summary tab of the Windows 2008 R2 virtual machine reports the status of VMware Tools as Not Running (Current) (2063887)".

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2063887https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2063887

 

So I do the process for my first VM and to my great joy it gives me back a running VMware Tools.

When I prepare myself to do it again for the second VM, I see that VMware Tools is back again... ????!!!!????

 

And now my two VMs have lost VMware Tools again ! Not Running (Current)

 

How could I have some kind of final (and positive) status ?

How to get resource action request information

0
0

I'm trying to get any useful information from the payload sent by a Change Lease operation, so I can also adjust the destruction time. My workflow is receiving the payload and several __asd_* inputs, but none of them seem to refer to anything I can use to look up the vm or deployment.

 

None of these actually refer to a catalog item, catalog item request, or resource action request, as far as I can tell. They all throw 404 errors when I try to look them up with another workflow:

payload.requestId

payload.deploymentId

__asd_catalogRequestId

__asd_correlationId

__asd_requestInstanceId

__asd_targetResourceId

 

I can go through vRO's browser to find requests and items, and then paste those IDs in to my workflows, and that works.

 

Any nudge in the right direction would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Добрый день. Может кто сталкивался с такой проблемой . Имеется настроенный vcenter vmware. На него можно было подключаться как через VMware vSphere Client и через web client, но в один прекрасный момент доступ через web client пропал и выдаёт такую ошибку

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::LocalServiceSpec:00000000021D5A50] _serverNamespace = /vsphere-client _isRedirect = false _port = 9090). Служба Vsphere web client сама по себе отключается через несколько секунд после её запуска.Может кто сталкивался. Буду рад любой помощи. Спасибо!!!!

SQL Server Management Studio 2012 - "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required." Error

0
0

I'm trying to create an App Volume of MS SQL Server Management Studio 2012. I'm using App Volumes 2.12. I have an Horizon 7 VDI pool made from a Windows 7 64bit parent VM. The build VM is a clone of the parent VM, using the same snapshot that was used to build the VDI pool.

 

The capture of the install works fine. I'm installing from an SQL Server 2012 ISO file that includes a valid license key. When I test the App Volume, I am assigning it to a test user and then logging in to the desktop pool using the same test user. When I run "SQL Server Management Studio" I get the following error:

 

"Invalid license data. Reinstall is required."

 

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
