App Volumes breaks AutoCAD 2019

$

Hi all,

Implementing a Horizon 7.6 VDI environment for some CAD users. NVIDIA GPUs, Windows 10, and vSphere 6.7u1, App Volumes 2.15, Instant Clone desktop pool.

I had spent a long time trying to package AutoDesk products into App Stacks. This was only partially successful, so we have ended up with a comprehensive base image with many AutoDesk products and versions installed.

Users have Writable Volumes, which is fantastic. It solved all our issues with keeping settings, including Office 365 logins in a non-ADFS environment.

BUT...

AutoCAD 2019 will not launch if there is ANY App Volume mounted. If there are no App Volumes present, AutoCAD works fine. The presence of any App Stack, even if it's not the writable one, causes AutoCAD to not launch.

No other AutoDesk products (several versions of Revit, Navisworks etc) exhibit the issue.

AutoCAD is the only one that wants to complete an install process when launched by each user. Without an App Volume present, this takes about 10 seconds and works fine.

With any App Volume mounted, we quickly get "The system cannot open the device or file specified". Cancelling this results in "Error 1309. Error reading from file" ... "acad.fmp" -- see attached. The file reported is present.

UAC is off. Making users local or domain admins makes no difference. The only time it launches successfully is with no App Volumes present.

I also have a packaged App Volume of AutoCAD 2019. This gets the same results.

Any ideas? I've been beating my head against this for a couple of days now. Cannot find anything meaningful in logs, but maybe there is one I don't know about.

Thanks.

vswitch lose physical adapters after reboot

vswitch lose physical adapters after reboot

 

I created 4 standard vswitches with five NIC (one is spare).
I dedicated to each vswitch one NIC.

it's working fine until reboot.

 

After reboot two vswitch lose physical adapters in topology, so they are also not working anymore.
From 4 standard vswitches 2 of them lose NIC's, two of them are still working fine.

 

Now, from web client - I can't add NIC to this switches and I can't delete vswitch (any vswitch - also not the one that are working fine!)

 

But I can "manualy" add uplink - NIC to vswitch
via putty it's posibly to add NIC back to topology with command: esxcli network vswitch standard uplink add --uplink-name=vusb0 --vswitch-name=ORANGE

 

and then again, after reboot same 2 vswitches lose same NIC's.

 

It's a fresh instalation of ESXi 6,7:

Client version: 1.25.0

Client build number: 7872652

ESXi version: 6.7.0

ESXi build number: 8169922

 

Thank you form your help.

Fixed super slow resume in Fusion 11.0.0 / Win7

$

Fusion 11

Mojave 10.14.1

Windows 7 (Fusion hardware version setting 16 in Settings, Compatibility)

 

I've run Fusion for years.

 

11.0.0 was quick but recently the resume function starting taking forever (10-20 minutes).

 

I shutdown the VM and used Settings/General to clean the VM, which was already set to automatically clean. This didn't help.

 

But on restart I noticed an error that didn't appear during suspend or resume: something about not being able to connect to an .iso file in the DVD drive (it named the full iso file name).

 

About 15 days ago I installed a program in Windows 7 from an iso file mounted as a virtual DVD on the Mac side (the Windows connected to this [virtual] DVD drive).

 

About 5 days ago I moved that iso file that was still sitting on the Mac side to an external hard drive not involved with Fusion.

 

Fusion was obsessed with re-connecting the DVD drive with that particular iso file.

 

FIX

I shutdown Windows, then went into Fusion Settings, clicked the icon CD/DVD (SATA), then unchecked the "Connect CD/DVD drive" checkbox. Before then I also clicked off the iso file name on the pull-down list but forgot the exact order of clicks it took to get rid of the iso file listing. After I finished, the box was unchecked and the pull-down menu (only didn't have the iso file listed on it anymore).

 

Anyhow, I left "Connect CD/DVD drive" unchecked and now the VM resumes super fast like it used to.

 

Maybe this will help someone else.

Hi,

Want to set esxi 6.5 or 6.7 to HP Elitebook 8570p

 

Host from both of ESXi ver. recognize HP internal lan port - vmnic0 ne1000

 

If I have connected on USB 3.0 port CD/DVD unit I can use it (also via VM)

 

I would like to connect also USB eth.cards, but until now no success and I'm lost.


Have installed

one is StarTech.com usb 3.0 dual gigabit lan**

other is Glaabit usb 3.0 gigabit lan (RTL8153)*

 

I followed instructions https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2016/11/usb-3-0-ethernet-adapter-nic-driver-for-esxi-6-5.html

instaled drivers, etc

but no success.

 

I'm not sure if ESXi support HP Elitebook 8570p USB 3.0, USB eth,...

Please help.

 

Thanx in adwance.

ji

NSX-T - Distributed routing support for North-Sourth IPv6 traffic, when?

$
0
0

Hello,

 

while reading Introducing IPv6 in NSX-T Data Center 2.4  I found:

VMware NSX-T Data Center 2.4 introduces IPv6 support along with a plethora of networking and security features. This release introduces distributed routing support for E-W IPv6 and centralized routing support for N-S IPv6 traffic with static routing or BGP with all the inbound and outbound route influencing knobs.  Users can now leverage NSX-T’s unique distributed firewall (DFW) functionality or Edge firewall functionality for IPv6 VM workloads available on both Tier-0 and Tier-1 Gateway.

So, currently distributed routing with IPv6 is only supported for east-west traffic. When will it be available for North-South traffic with BGP aswell? Can someone at least answer if this is planned at all?

Regards

Space Reclamation Confirmation

To my knowledge and understanding space reclamation on vSphere 6.0 VMFS6 and above is performed automatically.

I had a storage person tell me today that this feature is disabled on vsphere 6.0 (latest updates I presume) now?

Any truth behind this?

Cannot find anything online besides what I expect on the link here: Space Reclamation Requests from VMFS Datastores

 

Cheers,


Migrating a huge datastore

$

We have vSphere 6.0 managing 3 hosts.  We have added an all-flash NAS and want to move some datastores to it.  Currently, the current datastore used by the mail server VM is appx 3.5TB.  The current plan is to mount the new data store to the hosts, attach it to the VM, create a disk and manually copy the server's data files over.  rsync will be our friend here for minimizing downtime during the final transition. 

 

I didn't even consider using vMotion simply because of the sheer size of the datastore, but curiosity is getting the best of me.  Is vMotioning the VM to a different datastore a practical solution, or will it cause too much disruption on the VM?

Custom Appstack

$

Hi Everyone,

 

We had a requirement wherein we needed a custom appstack template of size 60GB.

We had a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine which we used to create the custom appstack template of size 60GB using the 20 GB default template.

Once all done with the creation of new template, we started the capture using 60GB template.

 

While installing the app , msi installer says error 2755 unable to detect the file. Then I ended this failed capture session and disconnected the appstack.

 

Once again I tried to install application but this time on OS directly, then no such errors were reported.

Then I tried to connect the good old 20GB template and tried a capture, even then I get the same error.

 

Anyone came across such scenario , Please suggest.

Linux kernel configuration for VMware

$

Hi,

 

 

I'm running Gentoo Linux under VMware Player 15. I would like to ask information on custom kernel configuration for optimal performance as a VMware guest. First of all, I guess I should enable "Processor type and features / Linux guest support". Then, entering into the "Linux guest support" submenu, I would like to ask if I should enable any of the followings settings:

  • Enable paravirtualization code
  • Paravirtualization layer for spinlocks
  • Xen guest support
  • KVM Guest support (including kvmclock)
  • Paravirtual steal time accounting
  • Jailhouse non-root cell support

 

 

Please let me also know if there are any other important settings to enable specifically for VMware (apart from "VMWARE_BALLOON", "VMWARE_PVSCSI", "VMWARE_VMCI", "VMWARE_VMCI_VSOCKETS", "VMXNET3" which I already know).

 

 

Thanks

Skyline No Longer Working

Hi, we were on the early adopter scheme to trial the Skyline. I was previously getting regular reports delivered to me via email. I see from the announcement on the pinned topics this no longer happens and we need to check the Skyline Advisor section on the Support portal on my.vmware.com, however when I do this I just get redirect to the default VMware page. Has Skyline been turned off on our account? I notice if I login to the Skyline interface on my network I just get "Page is loading..." and it never gets any further.

 

Thanks, John.

Wrong VM network adapter gets assigned in vCenter

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Our team is experiencing an issue where the network adapter in vCenter gets assigned incorrectly when provisioning a VM from vRA. Let me first explain the configuration, then I'll explain the behavior in depth.

 

We have a business group that is has only one reservation associated with it. That reservation is shown here:

 

As you can see there are two network profiles, which are only configured to use the network adapters that are associated with them in the reservation. Meaning, if the wrong adapter is assigned to the network, as you would expect, it won't be able to communicate.

 

 

From the vRA Blueprint side, have a custom property VirtualMachine.Network0.ProfileName that is displayed as a dropdown on the Blueprint. This is shown below with the values:

 

It's my understanding that if we assign the network profile, by name to this property is should provision an IP out of that range (which it does) and set the network adapter accordingly. The issue we are experiencing is that the VM receives and IP in the correct network range 100% of the time, but the network adapter almost randomly gets assigned between the adapters that are configured in the reservation. Meaning, in this case either the adapter ending TEST1_epg or TEST4_epg (shown above).

 

I have confirmed also that the we do have a vm customization spec defined. I had an issue with this previously and was able to fix with help from this community. (Thanks again!)

 

Please let me know if there is any additional information needed to help troubleshoot this issue. Our team is kind of at a loss regarding this behavior.


Published applications using RDSH Manual Farm and App Volumes

$

Hi Everyone ,

 

Hope you are doing great !.

I am trying to publish couple of applications for multiple users using RDSH Manual Farm and App Volumes.

Our aim is that applications are delivered JIT through AppVolumes and OS is offered by RDSH host.

RDSH Host - OS 2012 R2

Capture Machine - OS 2012 R2 with no terminal services installed.

 

I have a few queries in regards to it -

1. Today I am doing capture in a 2012 R2 machine . Should it have Terminal services installed, before I do the capture or is it ok to have a plain vanilla machine.

What I am trying to ask indirectly is - should my capture machine also be a RDSH host.

2.  Before I attach the appstack to the RDSH Host should it be in RD-install mode? and later once the appstack is attached should it be changed to RD-Execute mode ( or ) ( Is this point only applicable if we install applications directly onto RDSH Host and NOT use App Volumes )

 

Thanks

DHCP doesn't set an IP for NAT/Bridge interfaces over guest OS

Hey All,

I have seen a very worrying issue which is not always reproduced.

It seems like my interfaces for NAT/Bridge adapters doesn't get an IP from the DHCP, when I am running 'dhclient eth0/eth1' the command just stuck!

as a workaround, I remove my adapters and create them again... ( in some of time it helps and sometimes not ).

Does anyone know what could cause this issue?

 

ENV details:

VM workstation 15

Kali as Guest OS.

 

if you need any more details please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Ariel. 

vmware-vmx process hung on Fedora 29 graphical boot

$

I'm running VMware Fusion version 11.0.2 (10952296) on:

  • macOS Mojave 10.14.3 (18D109)
  • MacBook Pro 13inch, 2018
  • Fedora 29 guest

 

This setup was working just fine until I pulled the latest kernel (4.20.12-200.fc29.x86_64). Fedora gets stuck late in the graphical boot process (with the fedora icon progress meter halfway filled up) and pegs the CPU. Fortunately, I can get around the hang by removing the rhgb option in the kernel command line in grub.

 

The concerning thing, however, is that when it does hang, I try to reboot or shutdown the VM from the fusion menu, and the operation never succeeds. I can't retry the operation as then the menu items are grayed out. The only way to get around it is to kill the vmware-vmx process directly. The shutdown/reboot then proceeds.

getApplicableNetworks action errors with 403 forbidden post upgrade

$
0
0

First off, as always, thank you for taking the time to read this thread.

 

 

 

What we are trying to achieve

 

We would like to present a user with a dropdown list of networks (on a VM provisioning blueprint) that are available and associated with their business group via reservations. Once selected, this would allow for the machine to be provisioned in that network.

 

Issue

When calling getApplicableNetworks from the dropdown or a workflow we are receiving a 403 error.

[2019-03-12 10:53:23.889] [E] (com.vmware.vra.reservations/getReservationTypeIdForComponent) Error in (Dynamic Script Module name : getReservationTypeIdForComponent#2) 403

 

 

Steps taken so far

 

I've taken a look at the code for this action and it calls a series of other actions. It appears as though the actual issue with with the getReservationTypeIdForComponent action. We fail on this line of code:

 

var blueprint = compositionService.getBlueprint(blueprintId);

 

After digging into this a bit, it appears the part that is failing is a call to the vRealize Automation Composition Service API with a 403.

 

Post upgrade to vRA 7.5 we've experienced a number of permissions issues. We've been slowing working through them as they arise and given the nature of this error, I am wondering if this may be another given we are receiving an 403 error from the API. I don't believe this is an issue with vRA 7.5 at all. We have 7.5 running in our production environment and these actions work fine over there.

 

Has anyone else had issues calling the Composition Service API? Or any idea how to set permissions to this API?
