Provisioning error occured for Machine xxxx-xx. Resync operatioN failed

I have one machine in a pool of 105 VMs which is showing this error : Provisioning error occured for Machine xxxx-xx. Resync operatioN failed.

I tried to recover, restart the machine but the issue still persists.

Any possible resolution or explanation for this issue?


VRA 8.1 deployment "Create Failed"

A particular user with the roles "Organisation member", "Project member", "Service Broker User" fails to successfully deploy a catalog item.
In Step-6 (Machine Provisioning) the user gets the error: "Create Failed: IllegalAccessError: forbidden"

 

When i add the role "Service broker viewer" to this user, he is able to deploy the catalog item successful.

But this makes no sense to me. With the role "Service broker viewer", the user gets to many menu items in his console.

This is the case with local (System) users and with users from AD.

Any ideas for a solution or suggestions for troubleshooting?

Move unmanaged desktops between pools with PowerShell?

$

Hi....

 

Very new to Horizon View, so apologies in advance if I am in the wrong place....

 

We have recently installed VMware Horizon 8 and I have been trying to use the VMware.Hv.Helper powershell module to manage desktop moves, adds and changes.

Currently, all of the desktops we are using with Horizon are physical unmanaged Windows desktops running the Horizon View Agent.

 

I was just wondering if there is any way of moving a desktop from one pool to another via PowerShell and the VMware.Hv.Helper module?

 

I've been able to add registered machines to a pool, and remove desktops from a pool via PowerShell and the module, but I can't seem to find any commands to enable me to move a desktop from one pool to another without using the Horizon Console.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

VCF 4.0 Consolidated Management + VI Workload

$

Hi,

 

We are currently in the process of looking into deploying Cloud Foundation, mainly due to us being a Greenfield Deployment and are primarily seeing VCF as a building block to easen the LifeCycle of ESXi, vSAN, NSX-T and Kubernetes (I.e, not using vRealize for the moment).

 

As we are a mid-sized shop (Looking at 7 nodes in the biggest cluster) we are leaning towards utilizing an Consolidated Management Setup which on paper seems to be rather straight forward. But our concern is that directly out of the gate is looking at atleast 4 different clusters spread in two datacenters, but without any need to have anything stretched.

 

Here comes the tricky part when it comes to understanding the documentation and any drawback regarding the setup:

 

- Is it possible to have 1 or several VI Workload Domains when using an Consolidated Management Domain?

- If no to above, is it possible to have several clusters inside of the Management Domain with their own IP-Pools/Ranges, some also located in another DC than the Management (High-Bandwidth, Low Latency)?

 

From a technical standpoint I really can't see any issue with having VI Workload Domains even when using a Consolidated Management (This is even mentioned when going from consolidated to standard), but I can't find anything in the docs. about supportability and have gotten different answers/information when talking with our locals.

 

Kind Regards

Order of NICs/IPs and its VM DNS name in VCenter

Hi Experts!

I'm not sure what determines which IP correspond to DNS name when i have more than one NIC on my VM, what is the order that vCenter displays and respond the IPs for each VM?

Sorry for the confused constructed question, i hope you get my point.

I just need to get available my VM DNS name on particular IP not random or last appeared or anything else.

How to force vSphere to do that in my way?

 

Many thanks for your help.

Hello, I have a fresh installation of Workstation pro 16 on Fedora Workstation 32. I have an Nvidia 1080 TI gpu with the latest stable drivers from their website. My computer is AMD Ryzen 3950x with 128GB ram. 1TB nvme drive. I started up a fresh win10 vm and updated the os. The vm guest tools and dxdiag tool shows everything is good. I jumped into WoW on low settings. I dont get over 30ish fps, but it feels much less than that. its constantly sticking and jerking around. The mouse jumps all around too. Ive played with all the settings to no avail. Am I missing something?


Home Server: Boot & Storage Recommendations, please

$
0
0

tl;dr

 

I have a basic home server with one NVMe drive, multiple SSDs, and multiple (SATA) HDDs, plus multiple USB3 ports and an SD card reader.

What’s the best boot / storage configuration for good performance with a basic degree of resilience? Thank you.

 

More

 

First, a disclaimer:

In an ideal world I’d have multiple hosts, for redundancy and failover. I’d also have separate storage: a well-spec’d FreeNAS box with a decent SAS card and a healthy chunk of ECC memory, serving shares via NFS. But at the moment I don’t have those things; I’m trying to do the best I can with what I’ve got.

So:

 

BOOT

 

I’ve read some documentation and blog posts. I’ve seen recommendations to boot from SD card, but I’m a bit wary of this: my experience with SBCs (e.g. RPi) is that after a while - when the card starts to run out of write cycles - they can fail in interesting and unpredictable ways. I have experience booting OSes from USB as well (see FreeNAS, above); do you think this would be a better option?

 

STORAGE

 

In terms of “speed”: NVMe > SSD > HDD

 

…So I’m assuming:

 

SSDs (mirrored): VMs

HDDs (mirrored): other persistent data

NVMe: cache and ephemeral data (etc.)

 

Does that make sense? Is there a better way?

 

Thank you for reading Apologies for a long post.

 

P.S. Out-of-scope-but-still-relevant: the server has 32G of (non-ECC) RAM, and 5 x 1G Intel ethernet. My goal is to host no more than three “permanent” VMs (e.g. LAMP/LEMP), plus occasional others for experiments I can’t do - or don’t want to do - in a container / virtual environment. Thanks again.

vRO 7.6 Reload for Inventory

Hi,

 

Like in legacy client where we have a reload option when we right click on the inventory object -> reload.png. But in the vRO 7.6 web based HTML5 client i dont find this reload option under Dashboard->Administration->Inventory. Neither does a page refresh works. Is there something that can be done to reload these objects from web client? Or is it a missing feature?

Serious bug in Shared Folders feature in VmWare Workstation 8.x

$
0

Hi.

 

I see - there is a serious bug in that feature!

In particular scenario is following:

  • Enable Shared Folders feature for VM (let say = "D:\share" on host PC will be visible as "Z:\HostShare" on VM)
    (here you can suspend/resume VM couple of times)
  • On VM, using a shell script copy all *.h, *.c* files from "Z:\HostShare\sandbox\modules\core\myApp1\source" to "D:\sandbox\modules\core\myApp1\source"
    (here you can suspend/resume VM couple of times and then repeat the same copy-operation)
  • On host PC - open any of *.h, *.c* files which were copied on VM - edit it and try to save, Windows on host PC will report "file access error" - file is in-use and cannot be overwritten (or such)

 

Solution:

  • go to VM, open VM Settings, disable Shared Folders feature, click [OK], then enable Shared Folders feature back

 

As I can see this bug is exists in VmWare Workstation for quite a long time (more than 3 years).

Could you pleas fix it, finally?

 

The idea is - Shared Folders feature MUST NOT EXCLUSIVELY LOCK FILES which were accessed from VM. Especially when these files were closed/released on VM.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Dmitry.

ESXi 6.7u3 - Install-VMHostPatch -LocalPath

Having an issue trying to install VIBs using "Install-VMHostPatch -LocalPath <Path to File>". Getting the following error: Error occured when connecting to host  Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found). Error only happens with ESXi 6.7, no issues running the same command against 6.5.

Enabling an HBA for use in ESXi 6.5

It's been just under a week since we figured out the last issue, but now I'm getting pretty close to the end-game. I'll try to keep it short, for all of you busy experts out there.

 

I have an HBA (LSI SAS9201-16e) connected to a drive cage (Kingwin MKS-435TL) that is holding four SAS HDDs (IBM Storwize V7000 98Y3241). I wish to be able to pass each individual drive to a different VM. I originally thought that this would involve SR-IOV, but now I am not so sure. Instead of wandering around in the dark, I'll ask this:

 

What is the recommended method for enabling passthrough of individual drives, that are connected via an HBA?

 

If you want/need more info about my setup, tell me - I'll give you the info you request.

 

 

Here are some of the sources that I've read thus far:

 

 

I've had no luck getting it to work thus far:

InstallBuilder autoupdate: use Maven Central Repository URL as download location

$

Dear all,

We have moved the AutoUpdate executable files to the Maven Central Repository.

Our update.xml file looks correct (attached).

When the AutoUpdate is launched, it detects a new version available, but then it gives an error downloading the file, it tries 3 times and it fails, even if that location is reachable from that computer.

What can be the problem? How can we get more information about the error? In the log files only a generic "Error downloading update. Retrying (1/3)" is reported.

If it can help you, attached you can find the error dump, generated running the AutoUpdate from command line with the command: $ ./autoupdate-linux-x64.run --debugtrace output.txt

Many thanks,

Stefano

I'd like to do machine learning inside a Workstation VM.  Host is Windows 10 2004.  I grant there's a settings check-box to accelerate 3d graphics, but this isn't the GPU use I'm thinking of.  How do I enable my laptop's second GPU for use by a VM for non-GUI tasks?

Geofencing iPads or what is the best way to deter theft?

$

We're handing out iPads to patients to keep them entertained while they aren't allowed to have visitors. I'm trying to prevent people from taking them home with them. Before I get started with anything, yes they're setup in DEP. What do you think would be the best way to either prevent people from taking them home or would encourage them to be returned? Physically locking them down isn't really feasible.

 

I thought setting up a geofence with the iPads would be the best thing to encourage them to be returned. I tried to setup a single app profile to install once they left our main campus, but it doesnt seem to do anything.

  • I enabled collection of location data
  • I configured an area
  • I installed Hub on all of the devices
  • I created a profile that puts the ipad in single app mode if it's in the area (I realize this is backwards)

 

The iPad won't install or uninstall the profile, I put it in my car and drove it home a few times and nothing changes. I've had an open ticket for a week or two, but they can't even tell me if this is possible.

Poor refreshing of windows in Unity Mode running VMWare Fusion 11 on MacOS and virtualizing Windows 10

$

I am running a 2018 Mac mini (i7, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD) with the latest version of MacOS and I am virtualizing Windows 10 which is on 1903 with the latest version of VMWare Fusion 11.

 

To start, there are no performance issues, my issue is strictly a graphical issue and it is exclusive to the Unity Mode, in Single or Full Screen Mode everything is just peachy.

 

In Unity Mode I am seeing some graphics issues whenever I drag a window across the screen. For example, lets say I have the calculator app open in Windows 10 using Unity Mode and I drag the window from the left side of my screen to the right side of my screen, the movement of the dragging is anything but smooth. It looks like animations and frames are dropping and moving the window looks jaggy and jerky but nothing is hanging and as soon as I stop dragging the window everything is fine. It’s strictly a graphical issue with Windows 10. I also see it in the animations when I minimize an Windows 10 program, except here I only sometimes see it. It appears to be random to me. And this only occurs with Windows 10 programs, with MacOS programs everything is smooth as one would expect.

 

I’ve tried reinstalling VMWare tools, changing cores to 1, 2, and 3, increasing VRAM from 1gb to 2gb, turning off 3D acceleration, and I see no changes.

 

Is this expected behavior? Or what would be the fix?

Clipboard sharing won't work between Windows 10 Host and Guest.

Can anyone help me with the issue where I am not able to share clipboard between Windows 10 Pro (both Guest and Host) while using the same Host Machine, clipboard works fine on Windows 7 and 8. I’ve tried everything like:

  • Uninstall VMware Tools, Reboot, Install and Reboot.
  • Manually add entries to the VMX file for clipboard.
  • Tried VMware Workstation and Player both.
  • Created New VMs and imported the existing virtual HDD.
  • Updated VMware from v15.x to latest v16

 

Windows versions are same for Windows 10 both Host and Guest and all VMs are for testing purpose only. None of them is shared or deployed.
