VMware ESXi 6.5.0 - VM freezes frequently

June 3, 2020, 4:15 am
$

Hey,

 

since today my (Debian9)-VM on an ESXi 6.5.0 (host, no vCenter) freezes permanently every ~ 3 hours. All services running on the VM (SSH, Apache) can no longer be accessed and I can't type anything in the VMware window (via browser or remote console).

 

The VM itself has been running without problems for over 300 days now, while the ESXi has a much longer runtime with 688 days. There are 3 other VMs running on this ESXi host, and they are running quite well, so I thought the problems were coming directly from the VM(Debian9), but the syslog doesn't really show anything related to the problem.

 

These are the VM log I got from the ESXi until I powered off the machine:

2020-06-03T09:51:55.419Z| vcpu-0| I125+ The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.

I could not get much info from the ESXi host logs but, of course, I can post some parts out of them.

 

And like I said, the Linux syslog is not really helpful either, which is strange because there is a gap between when the VM was first reported as down and when I restarted the VM.

 

I don't have that much experience in debugging and fixing problems on ESXi hosts, so I appreciate any tip that might lead me to a solution!

Thanks.

DRS Does Not Work with Specific ESXi Host...

Hi all !

 

Even though I have set up DRS in the cluster, I'm in trouble that the VM can't be migrated.

 

DRS was turned on, such as a screenshot, and the migrate threshold was raised to 4 levels.

However, it does not migrate to host number 5. (Like a screenshot.)

 

Is there any advice on why DRS does not migrate to ESXi host 5 when vMotion also works?

 

Thanks  !

VMware Fusion 11.5.5 Breaking Change for a minor,minor release?

May 29, 2020, 4:49 am

11.5.5 is a BREAKING change from prior minor version.

 

The release notes now includes a new "System Requirements" section which says "macOS 10.14 Mojave and newer versions."

 

Fair enough if the was VMware fusion 12.x.x but such a breaking change between two versions of 11.5.x is bonkers.  Suddenly un-supporting a platform in this way is bad.  Please revert this change and resume support for the platforms which have been included in the 11.5 release to date.

ESXi 6.7 - NTP time drifting on one host

June 3, 2020, 1:25 pm

I have (2) ESXi 6.7 hosts setup to use the same NTP server (time.nist.gov).  One host keeps the time fine, even though sometimes the logs will display a warning that it has lost connection to the NTP server.  The other host loses time gradually.  When I noticed the problem, I simply restarted the NTP Daemon and the time was corrected and in sync with the first host.

 

One week later, there is a 5 second difference between the 2 hosts.  The NTP service is configured exactly the same on both hosts.  Any suggestions on what I should try next?  I figured I'd try the forums before contacting support.

Is there a kernelopt to prevent "esxcli boot storage restore --nfs-volumes" ?

Hi,

 

Running ESXi 6.7 15160138, a converged host/storage combo where many datastores are running off an OmniOS VM with an LSI-2008 passed through.

 

Boots hang at the command:

esxcli boot storage restore --nfs-volumes

The startup recovers, but it takes quite a while and the error is not graceful.

 

Does anyone know of a kernelopt or advanced setting that can prevent this behavior at boot, since the NFS volumes are not available until the host starts up the VM?

 

Thank you

Avery

Can I make a migration between different Sites and different DataCenters?

Hi All,

 

I'd like to know if it is possible to create a migration rule in vCenter, in such a way that, by the time a remote site get unavailable, another remote site be able to start the vms, like a mirror. The picture below shows the scenario:

 

Capture_Vcenter.JPG

 

So, I need the following:

 

- All the vms from the SITE 2 (local site) migrate to SITE 1 (remote site) when the network of the SITE 2, for some reason, get down. Is it possible?

 

Thank you.

 

Regards.

Device Trust - Can´t get it to work

Hi community

 

I´m stuck for several days trying to implement device trust for Android Devices with Okta - WSO Access. We have office365 federated with Okta (SAML). WSO Acces si configured as identity provider in Okta and Okta as service provider in WSO Access. In WSO UEM I´ve setup the integration with WSO Acces and URL, Certificate, API Keys and so on have been configureed in the Workspace ONE UEM section in WSO Access. I¨ve check several guides from Okta and VMware to do this, but it doesn´t work for me so far.

 

As I told before my Office365 tenant is federated with Okta via SAML.

 

No matter if the device is manage, that means enrolled in WSO UEM, or  not (Samsung A40) . The process is always as follows:

 

- I open a browse on the device and type the URL portal.office.com

- I type my username for office365 and automatically I´m redirected to Okta

- Since WSO Access is the IdP for Okta I´m redirected to WSO Access.

- WSO Access tells me that I´m using Mobile SSO (for Android) authentication method but redirects me again to Okta

- In Okta I can sign in with MFA and get the "invitation" for enrollig my device if I want to access the resource.

 

In the OKTA logs I can see the message that de Authentication of Device via SAML IDP has failed (NOT_VERIFIED) and therefore the policy MOBILE-BYOD, which blocks access for untrusted devices, has been aplied.

 

In WSO Access logs I can see the incoming SAML request but after that I get the event "REDIRECT_DENIED failed". If I open the detais for this event I can see in the last line the message "failureMessage" : "Destination provided was a malformed URL".

 

Since all this is relatively new for me I´ve not been able so far to find out what the malformed URL refers to but I suppose this can be the reason for device trust not working

 

Someone of you has had the same problem or has an idea about what´s wrong?

 

Than you and regards

Hi ,

 

We have recently implemented host profiles in our environment and we scheduled periodical checks to run a Host Profile compliance check on the cluster on a recurring basis. For that we used vCenter inbuilt scheduler that does the job ever 15 days . We have total of 20 vCenter servers ...is there any powercli script that i can get the status of all the host profiles whether the attached profile is complaint or non-complaint at a cluster level .

 

example : vCenter name            Profile Name             Compliance status

               --------------------            ------------------               ----------------------

                 SYD_VC1                     CL1_v.6.5                Complaint / non complaint .

Hello,

 

Edit:

I did install Valorant before having the problem.

 

 

So I have been trying to create virtual machine with VMware workstation 15 pro and was not able to power it on.

 

Here is the message I get when i use "power on this virtual machine":

This virtual machine failed to switch to 64 bit mode. This failure might be due to a lack of available memory on the host.

Module 'Monitor' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

VCD 10.1 - Angular route failing in the extension

June 4, 2020, 7:31 am

Hi,

I am facing routing issue with my extension in vCD 10.1

 

We use angular Route Guards in our extension to guard some provider specific endpoints from tenant users. Based on some logic, we redirect the request to a different route (Component)

 

When calling the router.navigate() in the routeguard, I get the following error on console.

Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: {}

 

 

I tried with the vmware seed app as well. Just added a custom route guard to an existing route, but still it is failing.

 

//router.guard.ts
canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {

 

   this.router.navigate([this.activatedRoute, 'about'])

  .catch(err=> {

   console.error(err);

  });


   returnfalse;

  }

constROUTES: Routes = [

 

  {

   path:"", component:SubnavComponent, children: [

  { path:"", redirectTo:"status", pathMatch:"full" },

  { path:"status", component:StatusComponent, canActivate: [RouterGuardService] },

  { path:"about", component:AboutComponent }

  ]

  }

];

 

After I install the extension and click on it in the provider view, I see the following error on console

bundle.js:1 Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'Vk13YXJl/plugin/about'

 

 

This has started with vCD 10.1.

In earlier releases it was working fine.

 

Any help here?

Workstation and Player GUI nuresponsive/stuck after guest VM powered on

June 1, 2020, 7:50 am

Hi,

 

Installed Workstation Pro 15 to finally 'get with the program' as far as version is concerned. (I was still running version 11).

Nothing out of the ordinary during the setup.

Added an existing VM to the library and powered it on.

From that moment on the entire Workstation 15 GUI becomes stuck, frozen, unresponsive, whatever you want to call it.

Mouse clicks on menu items are not responded to. Closing out the Workstation GUI window (red-X top right), no response.

I cannot even 'grab' the visible Workstation GUI title bar to move the GUI window somewhere else.

I CAN however achieve this by right-clicking the ('old fashion way') the app icon top left corner in title bar and cursor-key to the 'move' option.

Meanwhile the VM is happy to boot up and I can login to it and work in it.

However, Ctrl-Alt does take the mouse 'outside' the VM-window back to my host, where I can still get no cooperation from the GUI.

Once I power off the VM (having navigated to the power options in the menu with the keyboard keys like 'Cirque du Soleil', or from within the VM itself), the GUI is responsive again.

Besides, the entire host is responsive even when Workstation GUI is not, when I Alt-Tab away from it to other apps at host level.

 

De-installed / re-installed a few times to no avail.

For good measure tried Player to see if that would work, with the same behaviour: once VM is powered on, Player GUI becomes unresponsive. VM works just fine.

Now in itself that didn't really surprise me, because I suppose that quite a number of code from Workstation is also used in Player, but that's just my guess.

 

Cleared (uninstalled) all the VMware stuff and reinstalled my previously nicely working version 11, and all works like advertised.

?????

 

My physical setup is nothing spectacular:

Laptop ('ancient' Dell M4500), Core i5 M520, 8GB memory, Samsung EVO 860 1TB

Windows 10 PRO (went through all the versions iterations from 170? to currently version 2004, without the above problem.

VM used for testing has no 3D acceleration I read about in some posts and couldn't really find postings of similar problem nature.

 

Some guidance/assistance would be greatly appreciated.
