Horizon View Client on a Raspberry Pi 3

August 11, 2016, 12:29 am

Hi all

 

I had this idea that the Rapberry Pi 3 would make an absolute perfect thin client for running against our Horizon 7.0.1 environment.

Found an Raspberry Pi project called RPiTC (Raspberry Pi Thin CLient) http://rpitc.blogspot.se/ which would be a good base to work on.

 

Everything started of just great, we were up'n'running after about 30min
Now we started with som testing and soon realized that the only thing we could complain about were the really bad audio/video experiense.

I checked the CPU on the Pi and it was overwhelmed with work........

 

This makes me beleve that the Horizon View Client does't make use of the Pi's hardware H.264 de/encoder but doing all the coding in software.

 

Does anyone know how to forse the client to use hardware insteed of software en/decoding?

 

 

 

Everything workes great when running from a Windows Client on the same 1G LAN så it shouldn't be a networking issue.

 

Some usefull info:

Horizon version is 7.0.1

Horizon Guests running on a 4 node Cisco USC cluster with nVidia Grid GPUs, ESX version 6.0.0, 3620759
Guest are standard fully patched Windows 7

Protocol used is Blast.

 

Thin Clients are Rasberry Pi 3s (which have hardware H.264 en/decoder) running debian and Horizon View Client version 4.1.0

 

A fully functional Thin View Client for under 80$ would be a dream for many

Thanks in advance for any tips on how to make this work.

Hi!

I'm the only admin of my ESXi Servers, so I never had to create other user accounts for administration.

From the Host/Manager/Security & Users I created a new user but I can't see a way to grant him roles to Start/Create VMs.

Is this possible?

Thanks and regards.

Action is listing 3 results when there should only be one.

Hello and thanks for helping.

 

Some quick background. We are running a 7.3 environment. We built a 7.6 environment, to migrate over to. So, we built that, and we used the Migrate function in the vra/vro 7.6 appliance to migrate the 7.3 information over to the 7.6. That Migrate function itself seemed to work ok but we are running into some bugs as we test and validate.

In this case, as one part of a XaaS blueprint, its runs a workflow that lists the available blueprints so that the user can choose one, or many.

That action to list those blueprints is attached to this post.

The problem is , that it’s listing them 3 times, and not listing all of them either.

Any ideas on how to fix this? This works fine in 7.3

Im wondering if they are ‘duplicated’ in a DB somewhere but so far ive been unable to track that down where to confirm it.

Restoring an Inaccessible VM

July 16, 2019, 2:27 am

Hello,

 

I'm fairly new to this so forgive my inexperience.

 

Our setup is one cluster of 4 ESXi 6.5 hosts, 2 NFS 3 datastores, vSphere HA is turned on

 

I'd like to start a VM that we've been using to store some backup files but cannot because it is inaccessible. After looking around, I noticed that the NFS 3 datastore it is related to was removed from the VM's host last week. One of the descriptions on the eventslog from last week was that the confriguration file for the VM cannot be found. My theory is: I can get the VM to run if I can get the hosts to see the datastore. I attempted to mount the datastore but did not succeed. When I click "Mount Datastore to Additional Hosts" in the vSphere Web Client, all it does is load and does not allow me to select the hosts I want to mount the datastore on. Any ideas on how I can get this to work. Other VMs related to the second datastore (which is mounted) are running.

 

I also noticed a couple of alerts on the hosts i.e. "Host hardware system board status" and "The number of vSphere HA hearbeat datastores for this host is 1, which is less than required: 2". I'm not sure if this has an impact on what we are trying to do.

 

I'll appreciate any help I can get.

 

Thanks in advance.

vSphere 6.0 and VMFS5, maximum disk size??

I was looking in vCenter and I saw this in the new hard disk creation section:

Can someone comfirm for me that I'm correctly understanding that the maximum size disk volume for our particular vSphere installation is 798 GB??

I am puzzled because I know Windows even with MBR can have a 2TB disk, the server involved is Windows Server 2012 on vSphere 6.0...

Thank you, Tom

Horizon Client Connection to Remote Computer Ended

Hi,

 

I just faced the error "Horizon Client Connection to Remote Computer Ended" with one of my Users. When we tried to connect again to Desktop Pool same issue appeared with the BLAST protocol, so i changed it to PCoIP and we were able to connect. I am able to connect via BLAST with this user again, but I am not understanding why should the connection end in that way.

 

I am using Horizon Client 5.1, Horizon View Conn. 7.8 and ESXi 6.7.

 

If there is anyone that has faced the same issue and solved it or has any suggestion/idea what can be the problem, I am glad to hear about it.

Internal Error when either adding a physical disk or creating a vm that has a physical disk in vmware desktop 10

Hi All,

 

I own Vmware 9 and am using the trial of VmWare 10. In vmware 10 when using hardware type of "vmware 10" you get an internal error when adding a physical  drive or creating a  vm that uses a physcial drive I get "internal error" and no logs that I can find are created. However if you create the vm as vmware level 9 or create the level 10 vm with a virtual disk then attach the disk, "internal error" does not occur. Once created you may attach a physical drive, or upgrade from hardware 9 to hardware 10 and use the virtual disk. If you remove the virutal dsik  and try to re add it you will again get the "internal error" alert. Once you can use it, the physical drive performs well.

 

Any hints on how to fix this or places to check for logs that I may be missing?

 

Host system:

gigabyte ga-z77x-udh5

32 gb pc 1300 memory (4 sticks of 8gb)

intel core i7 i3770 3.4ghz

nvidia gt 640 2gb

nothing is overclocked.

 

os - problem occurs in Windows 8x64 (not 8.1, which I've not tried), Suse 12.3 using kernal 3.4 , 3.9 and 3.10  and debian Wheezy kernel 3.2

VDI Machines not accepting smart card when attempting to sign PDF document

Hello family!

I am having a major issue with our Adobe Acrobat Pro DC! We are unable to sign any documents with our smart card. It does not recognize that there is a smart card plugged in at all. I have tried the trusted certificates, i have attempted to remove security (it's greyed out due to policy). We just got on windows 1709 win10 image and are struggling to get this resolved.

 

Here is the error:

The Windows Cryptographic Service Provider reported an error:

A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Error Code:31

 

We have tried several smart card readers, tried changing the certs. Nothing is working. I did notice that the certificate I normally use has a yellow exclamation mark but even when selecting a good certificate and go to sign the document it does not see any cards in the reader.

 

Thoughts?

 

Physical machines have no issues at all and it is the same image. What could have changed or been stig'd to cause this error?

Help with simple VMware PowerCLI script

July 16, 2019, 10:06 am

In running a script from this forum, we're having difficulties understanding whats being reported.  For almost every VM, its stating that its on multiple Datastores, but when looking at each on, the drivespace is only configured on one given datastore. 

 

For example this entry:

Name                                                                               Datastore                                                                                                              UsedSpaceGB                    ProvisionedSpaceGB     Folder

VMNameXDatastore1,datastore2,datastore1,datastore2152.1152.1vm

 

 

In looking at Vcenter, or the ESXi host, VMNameX is only provisioned on DataStore1 so we're not sure why its reporting multiple and duplicate?

 

Here's the script:

 

Get-VM |

Select Name,

@{N="Datastore";E={[string]::Join(',',(Get-Datastore -Id $_.DatastoreIdList | Select -ExpandProperty Name))}},

@{N="UsedSpaceGB";E={[math]::Round($_.UsedSpaceGB,1)}},

@{N="ProvisionedSpaceGB";E={[math]::Round($_.ProvisionedSpaceGB,1)}},

@{N="Folder";E={$_.Folder.Name}} |

Export-Csv C:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

 

Appreciate any help, we're new to the CLI

Catalog Import v5.1.0 deletes all variables, UI policies, etc.

June 20, 2019, 10:15 am

Hi,

 

I didn't see another topic on this. If I missed it, my apologies and maybe there's a simple fix to this.

 

I've got the v5.1.0 plugin installed in our SNow development environment (followed the installation document). I registered the vRA instance and imported the catalog and it was all good. Had some issues with UI policies in the VRA portal. Figured out that the catalog import sets a "catalog_variable" on the  UI Policy action to the name of a variable (i.e. cpu, memory, etc), but the out of box creation of a UI policy action sets the name to "IO: (SysID for the variable)". The widget tries to match the catalog_variable field to the name of variable in order to get the Mandatory/Visible/Read-only flags (which fails with the SysID).

 

When I clear the "Catalog Import Last Run Time" and hit the "Import Services and Catalog Items" button, everything attached to the catalog items is deleted and recreated including variables, UI policies, and catalog client scripts. Fair enough, it's basically a full pull. Not ideal, but understandable.

 

I had our Virtualization expert modify the blueprint in vRA and hit the "Import Services and Catalog Items" button, everything on the modified blueprint is still deleted and recreated.

 

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to do a differential import? Deleting variables is not good.

 

Thanks

I am facing the same error. My VRops is certificate is valid, but it is a wildcard certificate with no IP address in the Subject Alternative Name

 

The certificate with thumbprint <xxx>, provided by your vROps is not valid due to error: "java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names matching IP address <zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz> found"

Press "CONTINUE" if you would like to proceed adding the vROps with invalid certificate.
