I am trying to update the VRA Lease data (Expires) from the VcAC using VRO.  I am able to fetch the virtual machine entity and list all attributes, and I am using "add update from virtual machine entity" to update the Expires , workflow completes successfully but the value is not updated.

[2018-05-21 21:58:56.979] [I] Found existing property Expires

[2018-05-21 21:58:56.981] [I] Update entity id 89570 with property Expires : 2018-10-31T16:15:00.000-0700 on virtualMachine entity testvm

Can some one help me on how to update the Lease for a deployed VM using VRO

I'm currently in the midst of upgrading our server infrastructure. This is for a small company but they'd like as much redundancy as possible. This has led me to explore a 2 -node VSAN as our environment is already VMWare based. I understand that this also requires a a third host serving as a witness. Most of the related documentation I found deals primarily with larger implementations and also discusses what occurs during host failures etc but I've found little that addresses what happens when a witness fails with a simple 2-node implementation. Does the Witness represent a single point of failure? What happens if the Witness is offline/down as there's no redundancy for it in this implementation? Will the servers continue working normally or would it isolate the servers to protect them until the witness is back online? Would any down time be experienced by the users? If things function normally without the witness, what would the time window be to get the witness back online?

The hosts and the witness would all be running locally in a single data center. I've seen where the 2-node approach is often used from branch or remote offices. This wouldn't be the case for us as it represents  our "data center." Pursuing the minimum of one more host would provide redundancy for the witness but this isn't feasible financially with the additional hardware and software costs. Basically, I have to weigh the risks of the 2-node or stick with a traditional 2 hosts running on a direct attached SAN.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

we have following situation:

New vsca 6.5 installation with 10 Hosts (6.5, 5969303) attached to.

- EVC Mode Intel Westmere Generation enabled

- DRS enabled and "Automation Level" set to "Manual"

- vSphere HA enabled

By starting a powered off VM, only one Host is displayed in the Power On recommendations.

In my old vCenter 6 environment all hosts have been shown.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Best Regards!

Hi,

vSphere 6.5

I have a pretty flat network where VM, management, and the NAS hosting NFS datastores are all on the same subnet. Currently I have in ESXi:

vmk0 --> management

vmk1 --> NFS storage

The reason I have two vmkernel interfaces is to separate backup traffic (which should go through the management interface) from the NFS storage. I only have 1g nics so separating them to reduce the chance backup traffic impacting storage traffic. However, I notice since they are on the same subnet and use the same TCP/IP Stack in Vmware, the TCP/IP Stack has route table:

Network     Prefix     Gateway     Device

10.60.0.0     17     0.0.0.0     vmk0

0.0.0.0     0     10.60.0.1     vmk0

Because the NFS storage backing the datastore is also on the same subnet, it will always use vmk0 instead of vmk1 for NFS storage traffic which is not what I want. Is there a way to work around this? Can I create two TCP/IP stacks for the same subnet? If so, how do I associate a vmkernel interface to a specific TCP/IP Stack?

Thanks,

hello my vcenter server appliance 6.5 suddenly stop working and vcenter main webpage https://vcenter_name/ show this error to me :

how can i solve this problem

I have the below rules. Rule#1 & Rule#2 are applied only to the security group

I want to change the policy for the Applied To field to distributed firewall & delete security group#1 & 2

If i do it will it impact the existing flow. Will there be impact to the existing communication.

How to do it without any impact to the existing communication.

I am planning to automate certain NSX operations using REST API

For this I need to use the credentials of the NSX Manager to use REST API

NSX manager by default has only 1 account "admin"

I don't want to use this account. Below is what i am planing.

1. Create one additional account in NSX Manager using REST API

2. Assign the role as "security admin" to this user. This user will have rights to create & delete IPsets & Security group

3. Use this account in REST API to execute the commands.

Let me know if this will work,

good evening , i've  a problem with my Imac , i  have an older version of mac os , snow leopard i'd want to install a virtual machine , but i can't install because i've too older version of my mac.

i'm looking for an old version of vmare 6.0 or anyway compatible with snow leopard.

Hello,

We are attempting to upgrade a few test servers from Horizon View 7.0.3 to 7.4.0 by using the upgrade process without a full reinstallation.  The upgrade itself appears to be successful yet access to the web console/admin console does not appear to work.  Various browsers produce various errors all suggesting the website on the upgraded server is not available.

The best clue we have detected so far has to do with certs.  We have tried multiple cert configurations but are not able to access the admin console including:

- Generate new self-signed cert, then upgrade

- Remove self-signed cert, then upgrade

- Generated new signed cert from internal CA, then upgrade

The logs on the server look like this:

Hey,

I'm very new to this community so please forgive me if I ask too many questions.

We're in a tough spot and need to find a solution for migrating from Dell vWorkspace. Our environment uses Wyse 7020 ZERO clients (no OS) with vWorlkspace.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

- Are our 7020 zero clients compatible with Horizon?

- Any information on how we configure the clients to PXE boot or whatever to Horizon client?

We basically need to confirm that our existing clients will work before we move forward with a POC or trial.

I really appreciate any helpful responses/suggestions.

Thank you,

I'm using VCSA 6.5 in my test environment. Tried upgrading to VCSA 6.7. First attempt failed at 2nd stage when configuring section. The temporary VCSA lost connection. Found out the gateway was missing in the temporary VCSA. 2nd attempt was successful but i can't login using my localos user. Tried to check on the permission, everything was there. SSH is disable by default. I enabled SSH and login to create a new localos user with the same username that i have before. It was successful. Once done i login to vcenter using the localos user and all the permission inherited successfully. No re-permission required. For the migration i choose the 3rd option, to copy everything including tasks and event to the new VCSA.

It seems that the migration does not move the localos user to the new VCSA. I have a few localos user and i recreate all of them in the new VCSA. When i tested the localos users, all the permission are as before. I just need to #useradd username with the same username as before without needing to re-permission it.

We are being impacted by Rebalance operation leaves VM folders in previous datastores (2108928) in our Horizon environment and have a case open with VMware as it's making a mess of our datastores. Would it be possible with PowerCLI to find any folders on a datastore that contain a single file? We could even specifically look for a single file with a name that matched "*.hlog". This would allow us to identify and delete the folders.

it's been many times when i finished the VMmark3 test.(4 tiles run)

the graph result always shows one (or some)of the tiles' WeathervaneAuction QoS with compliance issues so the run is not compliant.

but i never saw any other QoS issues(such as DVD Store QoS or WeathervaneElastic QoS)occurred in any of my vmmark test results,

only the weathervaneauction qos has problems (in one or more tiles randomly).

anyone know how to solve the WeathervvaneAuction QoS?

the key is on client vm resource or...auction vm?

any reply will be appreciated!

Deployed Horizon VDI 7.4 in a vSphere 6.5 cluster.  This cluster is in its own vCenter and shares it with nothing else.  Install went without error or hiccup.  Remote apps function as expected.  Trying to create a Desktop Pool does not.  When I try to create a Desktop Pool i get the error below.  For all the research I have done this error relates to Jave.  But, other than that i have not found any relevant information on how to resolve it.  What does it mean and how to I get around it?

com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.MarshallException: DesktopVirtualCenterProvisioningData required property datacenter not set, Instant Desktop Creation Failed

My company uses PCoIP workstations for all emplyees.

I tried to bring my own keyboard, a Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate, but it lags a lot, it's really unusable.

I've contacted the keyboard comany and after some exchanges we believe that the problem lies on the fact that this keyboard as an internal usb hub which aparently is not that well accepted by the VDI.

My company's admin said that this could be solved by adding some drivers to the supported pool but that would mean more stuff to maintain and as it's only for me they won't do it.

As I'm a local admin of my own machine, is there any way to make this work for me?

Thanks!

Hi all.

I have a question about deploying vRops in vCF 2.3.1 using SDDC Manager.

In vCF 2.3.1, vRealize components need to assigned dedicated VLAN.

So, I have assigned and deployed a different network than the management network, and the following error occurs.

vCF version : 2.3.1

Managenent Network : 172.16.16.0 /22

vRealize Network : 172.16.20.0 /22

Automated task list :

1. vDS Portgroup, Uplink configuration : Success

2. TOR Switch VLAN configuration  : Success

3. Deploy Edge for vRealize : Failed

  > vrealize edge is deployed and then removed. (check for attachments)

If you know anyone, I will ask for your help.

Thank you

Best Regards

Question :

Hi, I can connect to my VM just fine using the vmware graphics. When I attach a gpu from my tesla m60 I get a black screen when connecting from chromeos. But connecting from windows 10 or osx works fine. Any ideas?

okay, this issues troubled me for a while...(under the same configuration and server infrastructure)

i don't know why the client1 VM suddenly start to hanging and failing (to get gust info) at the "VMmark Setup" stage with the following messages:(as shown in figure below)

Client1 : Get Guest Info did not run correctly

Info: Get Linux guest information completed : Client1

Guest Info failures for the following machines: 1 machines : Client1 Error Messages Client1=:

i've tried the following troubleshoot steps in the primeclient VM:

1. use staf ping ping to check the client1, it responded with PONG

2. double-check the /etc/hosts file, the client1 IP matched

3. re-provision the client1 VM (from tile0), problem is still the same and no help

4. restart the client1 VM, still can't solve the issue

5. under the /root/weathervane folder, couldn't find useful log to check

6. the VMmark3-STAX_Job_2_User-Parsed.log (and other logs) showed no further details about this issue.(in the results folder)

b.t.w this glitch only occurred on my client1 VM all the time while other client VMs are working just fine.

can anyone help?

VMware 14.1.1 build-7528167

Host: Ubuntu 16.04

Guest: Windows 10

This Win10 guest has been stable and running for a long time under VMware 14 on a Windows 10 host. Recently switched to Linux and started getting this BSOD. Searched the web and tried various changes to the vmx file, removed the VM and added it back, etc. Created a new Win10 VM, copied its vmx file to the guest directory and used it to start the vm -- still hangs or get BSOD. It seems to last longer when the system is not loaded but haven't been able to confirm that. Sometimes it runs for a few hours and sometimes it hangs/BSOD immediately after login. It happens even when the guest is idle. I definitely would appreciate some help!
