この記事では、VxRail にて使用されているiDRACで検知するアラートをSMTPを使用してメール通知する設定方法を紹介します

※14 Generation model のPowerEdgeで使用されているiDRAC9 (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9)を対象にしております

※正規手順に関しては、iDRAC ユーザーガイドなどを参照ください

 

VxRail では以下のモデルが対象となります。

14G(iDRAC9)E560/FV570/FP570/FS570

G560

 


1. iDRACへSMTPサーバ(メールサーバ)と送信先アドレスを設定

a. iDRACへLoginを実施

          https://<iDRAC IP>にてiDRACへアクセスし、管理者権限にてLoginを実施

### SMTPサーバにて送信者ドメインのフィルタを実施している場合の設定・DNSの名前解決が必要な場合の設定 ###

SMTPサーバにて送信者ドメインをフィルタしている場合、

iDRAC Setting(iDRAC設定) > Connectivity(接続性) > Network(ネットワーク) > Common Setting(共通設定)を展開し、

"Static DNS Domain Name(静的ドメイン名)"にフィルターされないDomain設定してください

その場合は送信者がCommon Settings(共通設定)に入力した　<DNS iDRAC Name>@<static DNS Domain Name>

になります

 

また環境によってDNSでの名前解決が必要な場合があります

iDRAC Setting(iDRAC設定) > Connectivity(接続性) > Network(ネットワーク) > Common Setting(共通設定)を展開し、

     ・"Register iDRAC on DNS(iDRACをDNSに登録する)"を"Enable(有効)"にする
     ・"Static DNS Domain Name(静的DNSドメイン名)"を入力する

などの適切な設定を実施してください

iDRACのdefaultの名前は【iDRAC-<Service TAG>】になりますので、必要に応じてDNS Serverへの登録実施をお願いします

 

DNS_setting.JPG

 

     上記設定後、Configuration(設定) > System Settings(システム設定) > SMTP (E-mail) Configuration (SMTP(電子メール)server設定)の

       "Test Email(テストメール)"欄にある"Send(送信)"を押すことでテストメールの受信を確認できます

 

smtp_server_test_email.JPG

     上記のような、Test email alertの件名にてメールを受信します

     https://<iDRAC IP>にてすぐに対象のNodeにアクセス可能です



 

2. 検知可能なアラート一覧に、メールを送信する設定を実施

a. アラートが”Enabled(有効)”されているか 確認

     Configuration(設定) > System Settings(システム設定) > Alert Configuration(アラート設定)

      のアラート欄がEnabled(有効)である事を確認

VMware Replication only working one direction

December 3, 2019, 6:49 pm

I am trying to get VMware Replication running in my test/dev environment.

 

Environment

 

ESXi 6.7U3

vCenter: 6.7.0 14368073

VMware Replication:  8.2.0 14761900

 

Two physical ESXi hosts connected back to back, ie: no firewalls or network devices in the way.

 

Deployed via vCenter web client OVF install.

 

Issue

 

I have redeployed the appliances multiple times with the same result.

 

I can successfully replicate VMs from site B to site A, but I can't do it the other way round.

 

The replication job from Site A just sits in a "Not Active" state.

 

 

Troubleshooting

 

I've read though multiple forums/websites that describe the common Replication issues.   I have ensured:

 

  1. Full network connectivity between the two sites is available.
  2. All the required VIBs are loaded on the ESXi servers (I did see VMware Knowledge Base )
  3. The ESXi firewall ports are enabled for "Replication-to-Cloud Traffic"
  4. Both replication appliances can see each other and show the status as connected.
  5. vCenter on both sides shows the Replication appliances as connected.

 

I can't see any obvious errors in the ESXi or Replication Appliance logs (perhaps I'm not looking for the right thing).

 

At this stage, I can't think of anything else to check, so suggestions are most welcome.

Upgrading vCenter 6.5 Windows server with Horizon View Composer co-installed to 6.7

Found a lot of information on upgrading vCenter 6.5 to 6.7, however, nothing on vCenter and View Composer are running on the same server.

Also, it's my understanding that VMware is moving away from Windows but 6.7U3a offers Windows as download option.  Would it be easier in my case to just stay with the Windows platform and not move to VCSA?  Pro v Con on Windows and VCSA?

Hi Folks,

 

I want to forward all the alerts and events data to splunk directly from vROPS.

 

Please let us know - how to do that. I know it is possible through streamweaver

 

https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4780/

 

Do we have any other methods to integrate, is there any out-of-box REST API scripts available for this integration.

I am unable to use Workstation 12 on Linux mint cinnamon 12.9. The installer completed successfully and I have the icon but it isn't loading. No error messages. At install time I launched it from the command line and I got a few errors but then I got the workstation installation menu and that completed successfully.

 

I initially used instructions from here: VMware: How to install? - Linux Mint Forums

 

I also tried running the first command from here after the install: https://www.linuxtechi.com/install-vmware-workstation-12-on-ubuntu-16-04-linux-mint-18/

 

That completed successfully but it still won't run. Please advise. I'm including a screenshot of the initial errors. If you need any logs please tell me where they are and I will get them for you.

Trying to reset Inventory Service Data Provider - no vpx product

I'm trying to solve an issue where the vSphere Web Client shows an emtpy inventory. Also, searching the inventory through the Flex client doesn't work. So, I tried to follow this article: VMware Knowledge Base . Unfortunately, when I perform step 4 there is no vpx product! I think this could well be the source of the problem.

 

My question: is there any way to recreate the vpx provider?

 

Some info about the environment:

  • vCenter Server is build on a Windows Cluster with an external Windows PSC.
  • vCenter Server 6.0 U3i

AppStack Issues with Windows 10 Startmenu after Updating Agent to 2.18.0.25

We are using Windows 10 1803 at the moment.

 

After upgrading the agent to 2.18.0.25 the startmenu is not working anymore, when a appstack is attached even when we are creating new app stacks in the same version with the new templates.

We noticed in the agent version before that sometimes there was a delay when creating the startmenu.

 

Anyone know what to configure or to exclude in the snapvol.cfg to make the startmenu working?

Today morning, I have updated Windows 10 new patch around 640 MB. It takes around 2 hours to update this patch. After patch update when I tried to access Outlook mail it doesn’t open. I don’t know what the issue in the mail. I have tried many manual methods but no one works properly. I have searched this issue on this forum and found one thread related to Outlook:

https://communities.vmware.com/thread/586605

 

But still facing the same issue. After tons of searches, I have collected a few resources. Please refer to these resources and suggest which one is better.

Is it a good idea to loop this..

Hi,

 

I have the following code

 

$getVMKernel = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMKernel

$getVMKernel | Where {$_.PortGroupName-match "vSANPG"} | Set-VMhostNetworkAdapter -vSANTrafficEnabled $true -Confirm:$false

$getVMKernel | Where {$_.PortGroupName-match "vMotionPG"} | Set-VMhostNetworkAdapter -VMotionEnabled $true -Confirm:$false

$getVMKernel | Where {$_.PortGroupName-match "FTPG"} | Set-VMhostNetworkAdapter -FaultToleranceLoggingEnabled $true -Confirm:$false

 

which I'm trying to loop it as follows:

 

$pgname = "vSANPG", "vMotionPG", "FTPG"

$adapter = "vSANTrafficEnabled", "vMotionEnabled", "FaultToleranceLoggingEnabled"

 

For ($i=0;$i -le $pgname.length;$i++)

   {

      $getVMKernel | Where {$_.PortGroupName-match $pgname[$i]} | Set-VMhostNetworkAdapter -$adapter[$i] $false -Confirm:$false

   }

 

The error is

 

Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '-vSANTrafficEnabled vMotionEnabled FaultToleranceLoggingEnabled[3]'.

At line:1 char:61

+ ... name[$i]} | Set-VMhostNetworkAdapter -$adapter[$i] $false -Confirm:$f ...

+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter], ParameterBindingException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.Host.SetVMHostNetworkAdapter

 

I understand its much easier to use the code as is, but I'm trying to see if its better to loop it as much of the code is repetitive.

 

Thank You

Workstation crashes as soon as I try to run VM on Kali Linux

Hey guys, super new to the scene here and trying to get my berrings. Finding out I may have been overconfident and installed Kali too early because I've had errors that I've had to work through on almost every installation (including linux itself), but have been working through each problem in good time with a quick web search. This is the first thing I've gotten truly stuck on, so forgive me for lacking some technical terms etc.

     I downloaded Workstation (free) and also installed metasploit 2. Unzipped and tried to run with the vmx file as instructed, and as it said "connecting", all of a sudden it just said 'error' super fast and Workstation crashed. I tried multiple times, then re-installed metasploit. Also tried downloading an SSH shell but the guide to downloading an SSH led me to a non-working command. Tried to open a non metasploit virtualmachine as well, both crash immediately and dont even show me an error message now. As soon as I hit run it just crashed. Reinstalled Workstation, same issue occurring. Tried to run this: vmplayer /path/to/virtual machine

and got

failed to load external entity "/etc/vmware/hostd/proxy.xml"

vmplayer: Too many arguments; only one virtual machine can be specified at a time.

Try 'vmplayer --help' for more information.

How do I upload my logs?

 

Thanks in advance!

VIO 6 - VDS - DHCP Issue

November 26, 2019, 5:17 am

Greetings-- New to VIO (doing a POC) and deployed a VIO6 environment in vSphere 6.7 with vDS (no NSX).  Have a dedicated /24 for our compute network and I'm struggling with IP addressing.  I have an external DNS/DHCP environment and intended on using it with DDNS but it's not a requirement.  I created my compute network and said no DHCP.  The VMs get DHCP from my external servers just fine, but VIO is still "assigning" what it thinks it should have out of that /24 and not honoring what my external DHCP is handing out.  So, I tried turning off my external DHCP server and selecting the option for DHCP Agents, which it creates them, but the compute instance VMs don't seem to be pulling addresses from them.

 

Any ideas?  Is this even possible in VIO6 with a vDS setup?

 

Thanks,

How to get vRA VMs name where a specific custom property name does not exists

Hi all

 

 

 

I would like to search the VMs whose haven't a specific custom property defined on it.

 

 

 

Anyone have a idea to do that in only one Odata query ? (to avoid looking 4000 Vms one by one)

 

 

I found this link to find the Vms by custom property name and value (https://automate-it.today/vro-code-finding-virtualmachines-custom-property/)

 

But in my case, it's a little bit different, because  i want to get VM name if a custom property not exist.

 

 

Thanks for your help

How to keep the writable volume as clean as possible?

November 27, 2019, 1:37 am
$

All our users have 1 Writable Volume for OST and Search storage and a few Appstacks.

The Writable Volume is configured (snapvol.cfg) with the following entry:

 

#virtualize=\

Registry virtualization has been removed.

 

And the rest is the default snapvol.cfg + extra exclusions for virusscanner.

 

And using UEM/DEM we configured the OST to be placed on the writable volume.

This way we thought it would not virtualize the complete disk and only virtualize the paths we want, and it looked like this was working fine. Till now...

We now see stuff appearing inside the writable volume. Partly it's my fault not picking this up before. I wasn't looking at the right locations when testing this setup in our test environment and i thought everything was working as planned.

 

Our usecase is very simple. Writable Volume is used to store the OST and Search database and nothing else. The user profile part is managed using UEM/DEM.

Thats part 1 of the challenge we are facing; "How do we realize this usecase?" We thought we had this covered, but is seems we didn't.

 

Part 2 is that i need some more info on the relationship between Appstacks and Writable Volumes.

I did some testing with the following snapvol.cfg for my writable volume:

exclude_path=\ProgramData\

exclude_path=\Users\

exclude_path=\Windows\

exclude_path=\Program Files (x86)\

exclude_path=\Program Files\

 

When i use this snapvol.cfg for my writable vol and attach one or more appstacks as well, this isn't functioning like i was expecting.

I see that the folder structure from the appstack is visible in my file system, but the data is not accessible. That makes me think the processing of the appstack is influenced by the configuration of the writable volume. But both the appstacks and the writable volumes have there own snapvol.cfg. So that made me believe they are processed independently. My testing is indicating otherwise.

Can someone clearify this behaviour?

 

And maybe help me to correct our setup so it complies with our usecase; "Writable Volume is used to store the OST and Search database and nothing else"?
