Hello,

Recently a VM reverted back to a snapshot that was not invoked by human intervention. We currently have no automation tools or scripts setup to where this could have happened by some preprogrammed process. Also we only use persistent disks with these VMs. This has happened to us on one other occasion. At this point we are perplexed as to how this may have happened and we are looking to see if anyone else has experienced the same issue and if you have how have you prevented it from happening again.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi expert,

I have deployed a VIO 3.0 environment based on DVS. I want to use SR-IOV VF (intel 82599) to improve the network performance.

Currently the VM had already boot up, and the VF driver was loaded successfully. from the vsphere, I can see the VF occupying with command "esxcli network sriovnic vf list".

After I configured the IP address on the interface, it can't reach other servers, no matter the other server is located on the same host or not.

I captured the packets on the physical switch, and found out that the VM with VF could send the ARP request out, and other server had response the ARP reply,

but the VM could not receive the ARP reply.

And I also captured the packets on virtual switch's uplink interface. If the another server which located on the same host, the ARP reply packets could be captured on uplink interface;

but if another server which located on the different host, the ARP reply packets couldn't be captured.

I have been in puzzled for a long time...... Could anyone give some advice? Any help would be appreciated!

Dear Gents

I am experiencing annoying problem whilst I try to boot my Kubuntu iso image I am getting always error OS NOT FOUND!

See image bellow.

I found lot of advice saying to check id CD-ROM drive has checked option Connected and Connected at power ON

Funny thing is that connected is greyed unchecked! I am not able actually change it to connected checked!

Do anybody know hot to solve this annoying issue and get rid this crap?

Добрый день!

У нас есть хранилище HP 3PAR 7200  и несколько хостов ESXI 5.5

Hardware Acceleration: Supported.

Делал тест работы VAAI миграцией виртуальной машины с одного Datastore на другой.

Виртуальная машина 350 GB.

При включенном VAAI время миграции составило 922 с.

При отключенном VAAI время миграции составило 1104 с.

Разница по времени как по мне не сильно серьезная всего 3 минуты.

Подскажите пожалуйста это нормальные показатели или я слишком много ожидаю от VAAI?

in my esxi cluster 5.5 u2 . there are 4 vm's

some times we have error from all that vm's (  Message from abc.local: The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.)

I didnt any solve this problem. any idea for it ?

all virtual machines are redhat 7 ( maipo) . vmware tools 3rdParty , hardware version 10 and cpu ready %6-%7 , on vcenter power management is balanced

Are there any problems in the following configuration ? The number of CPUs supplied is more. Also what is the max limit of vcpu on this esxi.

Knowing this is an unsupported layout, I'm running this in my home lab. Has anyone successfully installed vSphere ESXi 6.0 U2 on an Intel NUC6i7KYK and been able to connect it to an iSCSI datastore? I'm only seeing a single adapter in my Storage Adapters section and it isn't iSCSI. Am I missing something in my configuration or is this just not possible?

Hi expert,

We use intel ixgbe NIC in our host, and we have set the option as below to enable 8 VMDQ for each NIC.

esxcfg-module -s "InterruptType=2,2,2,2 VMDQ=8,8,8,8" ixgbe

If the host is not prepared by vCD(use VxLAN) or VIO(use VDS without VxLAN), the physical NIC's VMDQ numer is 8, and pre-set maximums rx buf is 4096.

Buf if we prepare the host with vCD(use VxLAN) or VIO(use VDS without VxLAN), the physical NIC's VMDQ numer is 4, and pre-set maximums rx buf is 512.

These change will obviously affect the network performance of our application. So I want to know is it the system implementation or something could be configured?

Any reply would be appreciated!

The normal situation of rx buf is like below:

I have someone that has a console session open and a USB device connected to the VM on a ESXi 5.5 host.  If that VM is vMotioned to a new host, is it normal for the USB to drop connection?  Again to be clear, the USB device is connected to his laptop and the VM is hosted on a server.  The USB is not directly connected to the host.

I have not tested this on ESXi 6 yet but I know this is a problem on 5.5.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody

for a few days I have a connection lost in my Vcenter during the night with one of my Esxi

Vms are still running but it is said non responsive in vcenter

I can connect on ssh but not with vmware vsphere client

after a while connection comes back

can somebody help me ?

I'm am in the process of provisioning a new ESX 6.5 host based on a DALCO S2600WT2R server.

We are using hardware RAID (card MegaRAID SAS Fusion Controller) and the virtual disks created by the hardware are not seen as SSD (which I guess is to be expected ?).

I have followed this procedure (which I have done a few times under v5.5 and 6 without issues) and although it did not report any error message the affected disks are not anymore seen by the host server

They don't appear at all in the vSphere client (yes still using it !) and as "degraded" in WebUI:

Nothing obvious reported in syslog.

Any idea ?

(and yes I understand that there is now a GUI for that I that I should have presumably used it).

Hello,

I have a little Problem ;(

theire where a lot of changes for vSphere.

http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/vsdk400behaviorchanges.html

normaly for 3.5 we saw a Device like this: (raw+nonrawdisk)

ESX 3.x:   vmhba1:0:1

so  it was possible for me to make an output for all Decimal Lun,Ids  which where zoned by the Storage Admins. (the storage admins have the Hex Code).

we have a DR Solution which 2 Storages where synced together.

so i made a docu to describe which 2 Decimal Id's where synced

but now i don't know how to handle the HostMultipathInfoLogicalUnit.id andHostMultipathInfoPath.name. 

it's not 100% clear to me ;(

with 3.5 it was well-arranged.

i tryed right now to make a new script  and i'am searching for few objects which i do not find in the SDK ;(

theire are 2 tabs on the Storage Adapters gui

Paths:

Runtime Name: vmhbaN:Cx:Tx:Lx

Target: San identifier

LUN: Decimal ID

Status

so in the Gui these are multipath entrys (paths) so i searched in  HostMultipathInfoPath[].

but i don't find this entrys. only 

and for Devices:

Name (Fibre Channel Disk Name)

Runtime Name: vmhbaN:Cx:Tx:Lx

LUN: Decimal Lun id

Type: Disk type

Transport:

Capacity:

Owner:

-

May somebody knows how to query the "Runtime Name, Dec LUN ID"

Thx

仮想マシンのコピーをバックアップとして保存するには、OVA形式でエクスポートする方法と、vmkfstools コマンドで仮想マシンファイルをコピーする方法がある。

OVA

・コマンド入力ではなく、Clientの操作でクローンが作成できるので、簡単でわかりやすい。

・入力ミスによる、誤作業（本番を誤って上書き、コピー漏れ、等）が起きにくい。

・shの作成・修正の手間が不要

vmkfstools

・早い（FCストレージ⇔R120b間で、20Gの仮想OSのクローン作製に、vmkfstools 1～3分／Client 10～15分）

・vCenterServerが無くてもクローンが作成できる。

同じ構成の仮想マシンを他のESXi ホストに多数展開する、テスト環境構築のためセットアップ初期状態の仮想マシンを保存しておく、等の用途であれば OVA、

運用フェーズでの定期バックアップなら、スクリプトで実行可能な vmkfstools を使う、など用途で適切に使い分けると良い。

※ そもそも OVA は仮想マシンのエクスポート/インポート用のものなので、運用でのバックアップに利用するのは適していない。

vmkfstoolsでバックアップを取得しようとしてエラーが出力される件

以前、仮想マシンのバックアップを実行した際、以下のメッセージが出力されました。意味不明です。

DiskLib_Check() failed for source disk The file specified is not a virtual disk (15).

調査の結果、このメッセージは、＜XXX-flat.vmdk＞に対するもので、以下のように直接ファイルを指定してコピーすることはできないそうです。

vmkfstools -i /仮想マシンフォルダのパス/＜仮想マシン名＞.vmdk /バックアップフォルダのパス/＜仮想マシン名＞.vmdk

vmkfstools -i /仮想マシンフォルダのパス/＜仮想マシン名＞-flat.vmdk /バックアップフォルダのパス/＜仮想マシン名＞-flat.vmdk

結論として、＜XXX-flat.vmdk＞は指定しない、が正解です。
1行目の無印vmdkの指定だけで、-flatもセットで取得されます。
この方法で取得した仮想マシンデータのコピーを、他のESXi ホストに追加して起動してみましたが、問題ありませんでした。

ためしに、こんなshをつくりまして、

/var/script # cat vm_backup3.sh
#env
PATH=/usr/sbin/:/bin/

orgdir=/vmfs/volumes/FC-datastore1/
bkdir=/vmfs/volumes/datastore1_bk/

vm1=VM-w2008R2_clone

cp $orgdir$vm1/*vmsd $bkdir$vm1/
cp $orgdir$vm1/*vmx $bkdir$vm1/
cp $orgdir$vm1/*vmxf $bkdir$vm1/
/var/script #

実行してみます。

/var/script # sh vm_backup3.sh

ノーリアクションで完了しました。

flat.vmdkが取れてるので、大丈夫のようです。

Recently I've been reviving two installations, Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows XP SP3 (both czech versions), when I found out I am unable to install the latest VMWare tools.

Both systems were running the tools perfectly fine on older version of VMWare (probably 7 or 8) but updating to the latest tools on VMWare Workstation 12.1 failed. When the installation is almost done, the program starts to "roll back actions" and then says that the installation ended up prematurely. Same on 2000 and XP, but on Win2k there is an additional error regarding Think printer driver (but when I click continue on it, the installation continues "fine").

I have tried to reinstall Win2k multiple times, but I am always ending up in the same problem (I tried to install both before and after applying all updates), except for the English localization where the tools installed properly. Now I don't really understand why this don't work on Czech locale but works fine on the English one, since it has always been working on Czech too for many years.

Interestingly, the last versions that I found installable is 8.6.16-3054402 and 8.4.6 build385536 (quite an old old).

I've come across this KB article that appear to describe my problem, but according to it, it should have been fixed long time ago:

VMware KB:    VMware Tools installation in non-US-English 32-bit Windows rolls back and fails with MSI error status 160…

This is the log I found in the temp folder on Windows 2000 after trying to upgrade from the version named above:
http://pastebin.com/riWPa54G

Also, it is extremely disappointing that a product of such quality lacks 3D acceleration on Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems.

The bug is present on latest release: 12.1.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hallo,

I have an issue with LSI/AVAGO/BROADCOM RAID monitoring tool and ESXi

After ESXi update to version (6.0.0 4600944), MegaRaid Storage Manager (16.05.04.00) console installed on Windows VM, stop working with error:

“Login failed: unable to connect to CIMOM server”

Before the update, I run ESXi 6.0 UP2 (6.0.0 3620759)  and  MegaRaid Storage Manager woks perfectly.

Thank you

Claudio

It always tells me a newer version or the same version has already been installed.

Or is there any way to bump my developed plugin version? Thanks.

Hello,

after trying for a looong time, I'm frustrated. My workstation works fine with several OSs (W7 64, W10, Ubuntu...), but with my workhorse which is a old VM with W7 32b, I'm unable to make Unity, or drag and drop (or copy and paste) work.

Drag and drop operations always show the forbidden icon.

Copy (in host) does not enable the paste option (in guest) - or vice versa.

Trying to activate Unity causes some funny messages, most usual "The guest operating system is not running VMware tools" (it is) but even "The guest operating system does not support unity".

I've tried everything I've thought or found around - from cloning the VM to running VMware as administrator, disabling / enabling guest isolation, reinstalling the VMware tools, tweaking the vmx file...

At this point I'll very much welcome any suggestion.

Thank you,

jaime

Anyone seen this before?

Hi All,

Hoping for some help getting a new Win Server 2016 Datacenter setup in a virtualized environment. I've been trying for the past couple of days and for the life of me cannot get the installation to complete. It's failing with Error Code: 0x80070570. Now I've done plenty of research on this and still can't seem to put my finger on what is causing the error.

Steps Performed So Far:

1. Verified MD5 Checksum on multiple files. Confirmed all were valid and not corrupted.

2. Updated BIOS Drivers on my Host OS (Windows 10 64bit)

3. Attempted install from ISO file attached to the Virtual Disk in VMware

4. Attempted install from DVD containing ISO

5. Changed Virtualization Engine to all available options, and also tried checking the Virtualize Intel VT-x box

6. Attempted install on SSD and on a standard WD HDD

I don't know where to go next and this is driving me nuts! I really need to get a home lab setup soon and I would rather not throw a whole Win Server OS over-top of one of my other WIN7 & WIN10 installations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have enabled Full debugging and attached the latest vmware.log file.

Thanks in advance!

Marcus
