Problems with Unity : can't get window to the forefront

Hi everyone,

 

Searching for the best virtualization tool, I of course tried VMWare Fusion and it seems to fit my needs better than it's 2 competitors.

But I am facing one problem with Unity.

 

First of all :

- Host is MacOsX 10.10.2 Yosemite on a MacPro 2 X 2.93Ghz, 40GB or RAM and Radeon HD 5870 and some storage in it (10TB HDD + 1.5TB SSD).

- Guest is Linux Mint with the Mate Desktop (don't like Cinnamon and I find KDE so non ergonomic !) which is in fact nothing more than Ubuntu with a desktop that suits my needs and tastes better...

 

I really like the ability to use "Unity" (where the competitor's function doesn't allow it) because I think it's an elegant way to circumvent Dual-Booting :-)

But I face one problem when I am under Unity...

It works... not a problem. But of course, a window opened from the guest OS can be partially hidden by a Host OS window. Sadly, when I click the Linux (guest OS) window, it does not come to the forefront. I have to move (or close) the Mac window to get access to the Linux window.

 

Is this a known limitation of Unity or a known bug ?

 

Is there a workaround ?


Thanks for your answers.

 

Regards.

How to manually discover resources in the UI?

Hi,


the SDK guide describes that when the adapter instance is set to manual discovery, I could select the resources from the UI.  How to do that exactly in the VR Ops UI? I wasn't quite able to find it.


Thanks!

vRA 6.2 - Services unregistered and one service is unavailable state.

$
0
0


Symptoms:

  • 404 error messages on both of the appliances.
  • Services unregistered and one service is unavailable state.
  • Machine provisioning stuck on "in progress" and time out after a long time.


Cause:

vRA Appliances in a clustered configuration have to come up in the opposite order they went down in due to RabbitMQ component.


Resolution:

This was resolved by using the correct shutdown procedure.

The correct shutdown order in clustered vRA appliances:

  • Shutdown Node-2
  • Shutdown Node-1

 

Startup order:

  • Start up Node-1
  • Start up Node-2

 

This will correctly start and initialize the RabbitMQ component to properly register all components.

I want to get information on every item in vCOps / vROPs as to whether a ping test is successful on it and if it fails how long it has failed for.  What tools that VMware provides can I integrate with vCOps to make this happen?  What is the easiest way to do this?

Detecting which (guest) VM is consuming the host's resources

February 15, 2015, 12:11 am

Imagine a small (free) ESXi host hosting few guest VMs.

Under some circumstances I presume that one of the guest VMs increases the use of the host's resources so that performance of the overall environment degrades.

I can use get-stat to get the overall amount of RAM and CPU and other critical resources used by the host.

How can I detect what guest VM, at a given moment, uses the largest part of the host's resources?

If I use get-stat to query the guest VMs, how can I get the amount of host's resources used instead of the amount of guest's resources used?

What counters should I use?

Expanding datastore what is the best way ?

Hello All,

i want you help about expanding a datastore. I have a HA cluster with three host (ESXi 5.5). all the host are actually sharing a unique Datastore where all VMs runs. the datastore is created in an ibm storwize V3700 storage. the host are connected with FC. But i want to extends the capacity of the datastore. I think that it's possible to do it by two ways:

-- creating a new volume from the IBM storwize and mapping it to all host then expanding the datastore to the new LUN (extension) created.

-- expanding the existing volume directely from the IBM storwize storage. So that it's the datastore capacity is directely increased.

I want your help because this cluster is running mission critical VMs. Also i have read in VMware documentation that it's not recommended to use more than one LUN by datastore each datastore must be in a separate LUN.

 

What way would you suggest ?

Can you do the manipulation without stopping VMs ?

Apply 'IP Hash Route Algorithm' on a Distributed Switch port

February 15, 2015, 12:53 am

Hello All,

 

In our environment's design, I'm utilizing a Route based on physical NIC load on the VDS level. The Host has four 1G Uplinks.

 

this setup is working perfectly for our environment, except that we have a VM that does mass deployement "Policies, Patches" to 7k+ machines across the network.

 

My plan is to setup a single Distributed port to use 'IP Hash Algorithm' for this VM only. In order to utilize more than 1G during deployments. The current utilization is 1G 'the maximum uplink speed'. This tells me it needs more bandwidth as it only took 2-3 minutes to deploy new policies when was on a physical server before migrating it to virtual.

 

 

Will there be any problem/caveats to have two different load balancing algorithms used ( epecially having the IP Hash as the second one ).

What's the best approach to tackle this problem?

 

appreciate your help.

Host command to tell if a VM has finished resuming

February 15, 2015, 5:34 am

A windows batch command file is wanted that waits for one VM to finish resuming before it resumes another VM. So only one VM is being resumed at a time, to speed up resuming.

 

Couldn't find any .lck files or directories that exist only when a VM is running but not when it is resuming.

 

Using grep in the .log file might work but it is not trivial as the log file contains several sessions.

 

What's a proper way to do it?

Running Worksation and Firefox (on host) - High CPU usage.

February 15, 2015, 6:09 am

Hi all,

 

A little bit of background information:

Host - a laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 64-Bit (tested on both 3.13 and 3.16 kernels - aka "new hardware stack, 14.04.2"), Intel i7, 12 GB RAM, SSD

Workstation - 10 and 11

Firefox - tested from 30 to 35, installed on the host

 

I've got such an issue:

Whenever the FF process runs on the host, alongside a guest VM, there is a high CPU usage. The guest can be of any type - Linux, Windows, BSD, etc. It doesn't matter if the guest do anything or not.

Firefox alone or Workstation/Player alone -  no issue at all. I can even use Firefox with Workstation as a client for ESXi server without any problems.

There is no pattern with these CPU spikes. Sometimes I don't have to open any tabs at all. It is enough to run the FF process, even in the safe mode without any addons.

I've reinstalled both, cleaned configuration, tested without any other software.

I've got one more option - reinstall the host system, but I'd like to avoid this path :-(

I've spent a couple of weeks looking for the solution, but still no luck.

 

Any constructive help will be well received (Use Chrome instead of FF isn't helpful ;-) )

 

Regards

Gregory

vmdir.log VmDirSASLGSSBind failed

Hi,

 

Quite often I'm facing the issue that the C:\ partition of my vCenter server gets filled up with vmdird dmp files. I first looked around a bit to see if there was some kind of tool I could use to analyse these dumps, but haven't found anything. I did however find out that my vmdir.log (in C:\ProgramData\VMware\CIS\logs\vmdird) was full with errors like these:

 

2015-02-09 17:38:32.735:t@23378464:INFO: Reading Reg: ConfigPath

2015-02-09 17:38:32.735:t@23378464:INFO: Reading Reg: ConfigPath

2015-02-09 17:39:02.772:t@23378016:INFO: Reading Reg: dcAccountPassword

2015-02-09 17:39:02.792:t@23378016:INFO: Reading Reg: dcAccountPassword

2015-02-09 17:39:02.795:t@23378464:ERROR: VmDirSASLGSSBind failed. (-2)(Local error)

2015-02-09 17:39:02.795:t@23378464:ERROR: vdirReplicationThrFun: VmDirKerberosBind FAILED (-2)


These errors seem to repeat themselves every 30s. vSphere setups in other locations don' have these kind of errors. Apart from the occasional out of space issues on the vcenter server due to the big dmp files, this doesn't seem to impact our environment a lot, but I still like to get it fixed I'm aware of VMware KB: Reinstalling vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 stops after displaying the message: Configuring SSO Components , but these error messages are slightly different and even reinstalling the SSO components from a recent vCenter ISO doesnt seem to help.


If anyone coud clarify what's going on here, it would be greatly appreciated!
