Adding static route for second management interface

October 2, 2019, 3:05 pm
$
0

I have a dedicated server in the cloud with a /29 block of static IPs. One of the public IPs has been assigned to the first vmknic. This means that I can only manage ESXi from the internet. For security reasons, I want to add a second management interface on the internal side and then eventually disable the public management. I've successfully added vmk1 and assigned it an internal address. My VM (placed on the same subnet) can ping the vmk1 IP, but nothing outside of the subnet, which I assume is because the vmk1 nic has no routes/default gateway.

 

I tried adding the route from the CLI using "esxcli network ip route ipv4 add -n 10.100.1.2/24 -g 10.100.1.1" but I receive "Unable to Set: Sysinfo error: Network unreachableSee VMkernel log for details."

 

How can I get the static route added for the second to-be internal management interface?

NSX-T and vIDM. Unorthorized Error

i have tried a few things which i found in the communities and the troubleshooting of connectivity.  But with NSX-T 2.5 (2.5.0.0.0.14663978) and vIDM 3.3 (3.3.0.0 Build 1008410), i keep getting the unorthorized user error.  despite having the user assigned explicitly a role on the NSX-T Management console.

 

the error is below

 

{

  "module_name" : "common-service",

  "error_message" : "Unauthorized",

  "error_code" : "98"

}

 

The vIDM integration page is all green.  the URI is correct.  i can see the remote app has autocreated for the URI when in vIDM, and it is enabled. 

 

When i try to CURL though to the NSX-T Manager, with the NSX Manager admin account, I get an error specified below... 

 

{

    "module_name" : "common-services",

    "error_message" : "The credentials were incorrect or the account specified has been locked.",

    "error_code" : "403"

}

 

what am i missing?

Error: An SSL error occurred

as shown in figure below.

i'm doing VDI session test but some of the remote desktop session can't be established and the Horizon Client show such message.

here's my lab's settings:

1. vSphere version:6.7U3

2. Horizon version:7.10

3. Horizon client version:5.2

4. windows 10 is utilized for client and target desktop VMs and the horizon client is installed in all the client VMs.

5. the client and target desktop pools' type: instant clone, floating assignment

6. the "Do not verify server identity certificates" is configured in all the Horizon clients.

7. all the infrastructure and VMs are utilizing the same and the only one VLAN, does not need routing.

 

i also turned off all the firewalls on Horizon Connection server, client VMs and target VMs, however, when i perform the automatic VDI session test, some of the client VMs (randomly) always cannot connect to the target VMs.

since only some of the client VMs cannot connect to the Horizon Connection server, I doubt that there's truly networking issues?

can anyone provide some clues for troubleshooting ?

vSAN stretch cluster 1+1+1 vs 2+2+1

Hello,

 

I'm thinking about a small vSAN stretched cluster in two different sites + a third for the witness.

From a availability and resiliency stand point, are there some advantages using a stretched config of 2+2+1 instead of 1+1+1 ?

If I'm not wrong both have PFTT=1 and SFTT=0.

 

Thanks!

Solution I found is simply executing the script again to fire the backup, and it works.

Please help me understand,

1. What is Lotus DB and what information it holds w.r.t vCenter Appliance.

2. How can debug further to find the root cause for this issue.?


Thanks.

Deleted VSS Portgroup still shows in vCenter

At some time in the past, several portgroups on VSS switches were removed, and VM's moved to a VDS portgroup. However, the old VSS-based portgroups still show in the network tab. These no longer exist on any host in the cluster.  I need them to not show in vCenter.

 

If I select VLAN 321, I can see that vcenter thinks that 5 VM’s are still using it

 

If I select one of the VMs, in the Summary pane, both the old portgroup and the new portgroup are shown in the Related Objects section

 

However when you edit the VM settings, there is only one NIC (the new one) and no sign of the old one

I am stumped as to how to remove the old portgroup

Expanding a VM disk in vCloud Director results in Storage vMotion

Hello,

i've got a question about Expanding a VM disk in vCloud Director v9.5. We have several vDC datastores available.

If I edit the properties of a VM and increase the disk size, then vCloud Director automatically performs a Storage vMotion and places the vmdk on another datastores even if the original datastore has plenty of free space.

Is this intended behaviour? Is it possible to configure vCloud Director so that if the original datastore has enough free space it leaves the vmdk on the original datastore?

igbn driver issue on ESXi 6.7 Update1

Hey guys,

 

We've encountered some issues with the igbn driver (version 1.4.7) on Dell hosts running ESXi 6.7 Update1. This has been raised with the vendors and Dell and VMware have both come back advising that there might a known issue in this driver. One our customers hosts running this driver encountered a PSOD.

 

Dell infact has reached out to their vendors (Intel) and they have confirmed that this impacting the Intel i350 cards. Both Vmware and Dell have advised to disable the igbn drivers and use the native igbo drivers.

 

Has anyone else encountered similar issues wit this driver? If yes then has anyone disabled it to use the igbo drivers instead? Is it a stable workaround?

 

Looking forward to some feedback on those who have switched over to the igb drivers.

 

Cheers, Onil

Get count of running workflows on VRO server

Hi all,

 

is there a way to read number of running workflows on a VRO server?

The same number, that VRO client displays:

Best options would be a REST call...

Second best would be some internal VRO class that holds this information...

Worst case would be to iterate all the workflows' executions and check their state...

 

The scenario is: I want to wait for the last workflow to finish before wiping the server as a part of CI. Any other way to approach that?

 

Thanks!
