storage vMotion many VMs

$

0

Hi,

 

considering that vCenter has limits to how many storage vMotion you can do at once, what is the best way to perform such task (GUI vs powercli)?

 

Can you select say 50 VM's and if so will vCenter schedule them one/two at a time?

 

Thanks!

Ola, um dos nossos clientes recentemente atualizou o ambiente para a versão 6.5, agora estamos querendo atualizar os switches distribuídos.

Minha duvida se tem alguma interrupção?

error appears after selecting click moved , vmware tools !

chronology:

I changed the file name of the virtual machine (in my document), after that I entered vmware workstation and in my computer the file name became x and I deleted it then,

I open the file that I changed the name,

and a dialog box appears and I click moved (2 moved or copy options)

then comes the error message like this every time I start the quest :

2.png

 

and on the Windows desktop an error appears like this:

1.png

but after I change the code in the configuration file, but if the code configuration is the origin. does the error appear on the Windows desktop ?? (error messages when startup quests still appear)

 

I added the code in the configuration file :

 

monitor_control.virtual_rdtsc = "false"

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"

isolation.tools.getptrlocation.disable = "FALSE"

isolation.tools.setptrlocation.disable = "FALSE"

isolation.tools.getversion.disable = "FALSE"

isolation.tools.setversion.disable = "FALSE"

monitor_control.disable_directexec = "true"

VRA VM Request fails with Customization Specification

$

Hi,

 

I am trying to deploy a virtual machine in VRA with windows customization specification. In my CS I have defined to obtain the hostname during deployment (ask user). So in my machine blueprint I have specified a custom property called "hostname" and assigned my hostname during deployment. However, the deployment fails with following message.

 

Request failed: Machine vcloud-win03: CustomizeVM : [CustomizeVM_Task] - A specified parameter was not correct: hostname.

 

Also If I set a name for a virtual machine during deployment it omits the machine prefix "vcloud-win" and also fail to get the hostname.

 

So how can I provide a separate name for hostname (apart from virtual machine name) and still keep the virtual machine name prefix attached to it?

 

Thank you.

Hi there,

VxLAN to VLAN mapping

$
0
0

I am a newbie to VMware NSX. Started learning and went through many videos of NSX VxLAN, but still not able to understand the mapping of VLAN with VxLAN.

 

VLAN > 12 bits > 4096 addresses

VxLAN > 24 bits > 16 M addresses

 

Taking an E.g.::

 

(1) 2 Clusters

 

> Cluster 1 - Edge & Management: Running NSX Manager, NSX Controllers,vCenter Server(vCSA), Distributed Router VM, NSX Edge VM

   ESX_1

   ESX_2

 

> Cluster 2 - Compute_1: Running VM_App, VM_Web, VM_DB

   ESX_3

   ESX_4

 

(2) 4 Logical Switches

 

> LS_App having VNI 5001

   Running VM_App

 

> LS_Web having VNI 5002

   Running VM_Web

 

> LS_DB having VNI 5003

   Running VM_DB

 

> LS_Transit having VNI 5004

 

> This will create 4 dvPortGroups on dvSwitch

 

 

(3) For 3 VMs I want to give IP as below so that I can access it from Outside (Not Internet, but within Company domain, by RDP)

 

  VM_App <> assign IP as 10.10.10.1 (from VLAN10 which is configured on Physical switch to which uplink is connected)

  VM_Web <> assign IP as 10.10.20.1 (from VLAN20 which is configured on Physical switch to which uplink is connected)

  VM_DB  <> assign IP as 10.10.30.1 (from VLAN30 which is configured on Physical switch to which uplink is connected)

 

Obviously communication between these VMs will be through DLR

 

Question 1:

When we prepare host for VxLAN by selecting "configure" option, what VLAN ID do we need to enter or leave it blank ?

 

Question 2:

Here VNI to VLAN mapping is 1:1, i.e. 5001 <> VLAN10. Then still the maximum VNI that can be used is 4096 in total only which is equal to total VLAN ID 4096. I did not get this.

 

Question 3:

If we were to use Private IP address, then its ok, as then VMs will be accessed from console. But I am not getting the point that VLAN/VXLAN will be configured if we were to use IPs from those VLANs so that it can be accessed like via RDP. And if VLAN <> VXLAN is 1:1 then what's the importance of VXLAN with 16 M addresses.

 

Thanks,

Why custom event alarm can not get $env:VMWARE_ALARM_EVENTDESCRIPTION value ?

The output is similar like event.xxx.fullFormat (xxx), but in vCenter GUI, the custom description is showing....

 

Do I need to use Get-ItemPropertyValue  or Get-Item $env:VMWARE_ALARM_EVENTDESCRIPTION ?

Thanks

App Volumes 2.14 Agent and Programs that start with Windows

$

I just completed an upgrade of one of our View pods to App Volumes 2.14. We are seeing an interesting issue where programs that start with Windows are no longer doing so. Examples are Snag It, Display Fusion, and IBM DB2 Connect. With IBM DB2 Connect the user actually gets kicked out of the VM before they get fully logged into the VM. If we move the agent back to 2.12.1 the version we were on previously everything works normally. I'm planning on opening a case with VMware curious if anyone had seen anything similar.

Hi Guys,

 

i´m currently fooling aroung with the UAG in my lab and i do see some strange behaviors.

So after the appliance boots up fine and i login i try to change some settings.

Like disable TLS1.1 and upload a certificate. So far so good.

But after a reboot (shell -> reboot) all settings i´ve made are gone...

Why is that?

 

During the boot process i also a kinda untypical message. Shown in the picture below. is this normal?

VIX 1.17.0 VIX_E_WRAPPER_SERVICEPROVIDER_NOT_FOUND (22003) for Shared VMs

$

I’m trying to write a 64-bit C++ application to manage some of Shared Workstation VMs running on a Windows 10 host machine.  My application is using VMware VIX SDK 1.17.0 (build 6661328) to try and access a copy of VMware Workstation Pro 14.1.3 (build 9474260).  The problem is that my VixHost_Connect calls using VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION_SHARED always return wrapper error VIX_E_WRAPPER_SERVICEPROVIDER_NOT_FOUND (i.e. 22003).

 

I looked through the forums and this doesn’t seem to be a unique issue but I still haven’t found a resolution to the problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

I am able to connect and start local (i.e. non-shared) Workstations VMs using a VixHost_Connect calls with host type VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION and NULL parameters. The associated vmware-vixWrapper-#####.log file it creates indicates:

vthread-1| I125: Log for VixWrapper pid=### version=1 build=build-6661328 option=Release

vthread-1| I125: The process is 64-bit.

vthread-1| I125: Host codepage=windows-1252 encoding=windows-1252

vthread-1| I125: Host is Windows 8 Enterprise, 64-bit  (Build 9200)

…A bunch of 183 file already exists messages…

vthread-1| I125: Workstation installed version is 14.1.3

vthread-1| I125: Loading Vix implementation library C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware VIX\\Workstation-14.0.0\64bit\vix.dll

vthread-1| I125: unable to load func Vix_PumpEvents from library C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware VIX\\Workstation-14.0.0\64bit\vix.dll (127)

 

When I try to make a similar VixHost_Connect call, this time with host type VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION_SHARED, I always get the 22003 error.  The associated vmware-vixWrapper-#####.log file it creates indicates:

vthread-1| I125: Log for VixWrapper pid=### version=1 build=build-6661328 option=Release

vthread-1| I125: The process is 64-bit.

vthread-1| I125: Host codepage=windows-1252 encoding=windows-1252

vthread-1| I125: Host is Windows 8 Enterprise, 64-bit  (Build 9200)

…A bunch of 183 file already exists messages…

vthread-1| I125: No implementation found for service provider 11, apiVersion -1 installedVersion (null)

vthread-1| I125: No Vix library found for provider 11 revision -1, err 22003

 

The contents of the two different vmware-vixWrapper-#####.log files for VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION and for VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION_SHARED are the same up until “Workstation installed version is 14.1.3” is reported for the Workstation type and “No implementation found for service provider 11, apiVersion -1 installedVersion (null)” is reported for the Workstation Shared type.

 

I have already tried reinstalling Workstation and VIX, but the result have not changed.
