This still happens with 6.5.0e, and none of the requested changes work.

systemctl status vmware-stsd.service has a different error for me though

still getting this from journalctl

localhost certainly resolved, ping works.

perhaps the retry button does nothing.

Currently I am using vCenter 6.0. I want to move the VM from one Resource Pool to other via REST or SOAP webservice.

 

Here are my  questions.

1. do we need to enable SDK on the vCenter?

2. can you give some sample on how to invoke REST or SOAP sample (with authentication mechanism)

Re: Physical Switch requirements for vSAN traffic

Hybrid configurations must have a dedicated 1Gbps uplink for vSAN Traffic.

All-Flash configurations must have at least a shared 10Gbps uplink for vSAN Traffic.

 

We do recommend using vSphere Distributed Switches rather than vSphere Standard Switches as vDS enables the use of NIOC.

Tried that with no success. I did some more research, and looks like that driver is being used on the physical server currently. Once it gets converted it can not physically locate it since it is not on the VM. Theres got to be a way to either remove it from trying to use the raid and use the new converted boot disk.

vm console skewed

I'm having an issue with the VM console of some VMs being skewed. This is happening in Windows, Windows core, and Linux VMs. I'm running vCenter 6.5 build 5705665 and ESXi 6.5 build 5310538. VMware tools are up to date on the VMs. Sometimes vmotioning the guest to another host fixes the issue, but most of the time it does not. This is happening in both the web console and the VMRC (v9.0.0). Has anyone else had thisissue and know how to resolve it?

LFC the vSAN network will be required to be routable to the Witness in a 3rd location.


The hosts in each of your DC's will be required to communicate with the Witness VMkernel interface tagged for vSAN traffic.

 

The Witness VMkernel interface (vmk1) must have separate routing to each of your 2 DC's.

techguy129 is correct.

 

Deduplication and Compression is only available on All-Flash vSAN 6.2 or higher configurations using vSAN Advanced Edition, vSAN Enterprise Edition, or vSAN Advanced ROBO Edition.

Increasing disk size

this is probably dumb question

but how do you increase disk size if your not machine owner? in vRA 7.3

In my lab i have machine deployed using blueprint, and business group that's attached to blueprint has user role as another test user.

I have all the admin rights on my account.

test user requested machine, machine is deployed. Under vRA loggin in using my account i can see machine under managed machines, when i click view machine all i can see is specs of machine can't edit anything under it.

 

 

So my question is that editing memory/disk/cores is limited to person who has requested machine?

Re: Horizon 7.2 - Change vGPU Profile on instant clone pool?

This is the expected behavior.  "Once a pool is provisioned, you cannot edit the vGPU profile by editing the pool or changing the image of the pool. When you push a new image to an instant clone pool, you must verify that the new image has the same vGPU profile as the previous image, or your push image operation might fail. To change the vGPU profile of an instant clone pool, you must delete the pool and create a new pool with the desired vGPU profile."  Change the Image of an Instant-Clone Desktop Pool

Re: vSAN (Storage) Policy Configuration

The Failure Tolerance Method rule for Hybrid configurations can only be RAID1/Mirroring.

 

Number of Failures to Tolerate rule determines how many failures an object may have.

 

The OS disk for your Linked Clones being set to FTT=0, means there is only ever 1 copy of the OS disk. We would suggest that this is FTT=1.

 

Horizon View 6.2 and other versions have defaulted to FTT=0 in some cases. This is corrected (I believe) in Horizon View 7.0 (or maybe a later release).

 

You may set a policy to FTT=1 (1 copy/survive 1 failure) and FTM=Mirroring/RAID1 if you wish to prevent the loss of the OS Disk as you mention.

Re: How to route 6 or more different subnets in Workstation

I don't consider myself to be a networking person.

 

But since you have a preference for Windows, have you looked at using Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS) in one of the Windows servers to perform the router role instead of using some Linux variant router appliance?

 

Also at some point, probably best before you embark on building this whole setup, you probably want to read up on VLANs/802.1q.

 

The virtual switches of VMware Workstation does not support VLANs. But if you download from Intel the drivers for e1000e adapters they would come with the ability to setup a VLAN ID on the adapter; although that is probably not going to be case in a production environment. But it will likely alter the way you look at how many virtual switches you need to set up. Imagine if the switches were physical switches without VLAN support; you'd need at least six of them with a tangled mess of wires.

Question about the configuration process for PSC HA - vCenter 6.5

July 13, 2017, 3:25 pm
$

Hi all,

 

Is it required to have the VIP of the NLB already configured and operating BEFORE the final command to configure PSC HA is run (UpdateLsEndpoint)?

i.e. Before you run the last command for the PSC HA, the actual NLB VIP is already configured and functioning?

 

I ask this as I need to deploy a vCenter/PSC before I deploy NSX and I wanted to use the NLB function of NSX to allow me to protect the PSCs with HA/NLB.

 

So, in the interest of saving a few minutes, I was thinking that I might be able to install 2 extra PSCs in the environment in parallel and configure them as much as possible for PSC HA.

Then deploy the NSX and NLB and configure the VIP for the PSC NLB.

Then finally just repoint the vCenter to the PSC NLB.

 

However trying all that in my test lab, I am seeing that the last command is failing and I saw the words "No route to host (Host unreachable)" in the output.

So I suspect that the command is somehow trying to reach the PSCs through the NLB IP and, as I don´t yet have that configured, is failing.

 

Does that sound right?

 

If it is correct it isn´t a big deal as I will just leave that last command until the NSX and NLB is 100% ready.

 

I just wanted to check if that was indeed the case to confirm my suspicions.

 

By the way I deployed the PSCs using the ISO for vCenter appliance 6.5 GA

 

Thanks in advance

Mark

Re: VMware tools for Linux 10.1.5 fails for VMware Workstation 12.5.4

Just wanted to share how I found the solution.  It turned out my kernel version (uname -a) and my kernel-headers and kernel-devel versions were not matching. I did not catch it earlier as the numbers were close, 26 vs 6.

 

kernel-devel.x86_64                    3.10.0-514.6.2.el7

kernel-devel.x86_64                    3.10.0-514.26.2.el7

 

So I did:

 

yum update

 

reboot - Very important to make sure uname -a shows the right kernel version

 

yum remove open-vm-tools

yum remove kernel-headers

yum remove kernel-devel

 

yum install gcc

yum install kernel-headers

yum install kernel-devel

 

Chack your installed versions vs (uname -a) version

yum list installed | grep kernel

 

Run the ./vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl

Re: Where is the option to change adapter type?

July 13, 2017, 4:08 pm

I don't think it is available in the Workstation VM settings UI. So you'd have to edit the vmx configuration file of the VM. You would need hardware compatibility version at least 7 (change this in the UI) not the vmx. So if you are on the latest 12, just make sure you are on 12.

 

Backup the vmx file before editing as a precaution.

 

Example: changing first adapter

 

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" change to ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

 

If you have more than one adapter, you would see ethernet1, ethernet2, and so on.

 

It is best to change to vmxnet3 after installing VMware Tools. I don't think the vmxnet3 driver is included in a guest OS such as Windows and only installed after VMware Tools is installed.
