There seems to be nowhere to send alt-printscreen, used in Windows to capture an application window to the clipboard as an image.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Interface NAT 'DOWN' at startup

$

Hello,

 

I'm running a VM (Linux CentOS 6.6) on a ZBook PC host (CentOS 6.5) with VMware Workstation 12 Pro.

The VM has a eth0 interface, connected with the NAT network of VMware (vmnet8 interface of the host).

 

When I start the PC and run the VM : the eth0 interface of the VM remains 'DOWN', with 'ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready' in /var/log/messages of the VM.

When I connect the PC host to the internet (ethernet or wifi), the eth0 interface of the VM changes to 'UP', with :

 

e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

 

in /var/log/messages.

 

Even when I disconnect the PC host connection, the interface remains 'UP', till I reboot the PC host.

 

Is there any way to have the eth0 UP at VM startup, independantly of the PC host connexion ?

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Vincent

Marking all disk non SSD

$
0
0

Hi,

 

Our provider uses EMC's VPlex product between the storage and the ESXi hosts. Unfortunately this doesn't support the flag that VMware uses to query for SSD and as a result the LUNs can toggle between SSD and Non-SSD. After a *lot* of "discussion" I managed to impress on them that this is more than a cosmetic issue - as the VMs see this change as well as the ESXi hosts !

 

Now they have agreed I can get them to use ESXi commands to hard set the presented storage to always be non-ssd.

 

I have found KB article -VMware Knowledge Base  2013188 which explains enabling SSD (and by inference how to do the reverse) and also have the documentation.

 

The KB article says I need to power off all the VMs, unmount the disks/LUNS and reboot the ESXi hosts for the change. This article also talks about marking the disk as local whereas all my disk is shared amonst the cluster nodes.

 

The documentation doesn't mention powering off the VMs / unmounting / rebooting for the enabling SSD and reclaim. It DOES mention this on the separate page/process for marking the storage as local though.

 

Naturally I was hoping to do this with one rule based on vendor and model, but it looks like that would be an outage of EVERYTHING to achieve it if the KB article is correct ?

 

Has anyone performed JUST the change from enable_ssd > disabled_ssd or vice versa to an online system (i.e. not marked storage as local at the same time) ?

 

Yes, I intend on asking support, but also would love to know if anyone has done this.

 

Cheers

Ian

M.2 NIC adapter from Innodisk.

Good evening everyone,

I’m about to make a purchase but I have my doubts.

My Dell OptiPlex 7050 MINI only has one NIC and would like to have more since my home lab is growing. The only remaining option I have is to get myself a fancy M.2 NIC with two ports. It was hell to find but found something; Innodisk EGPL-G202.

I send an email to the sales department from dpie.com and got the following reply; “They use Intel i210 controllers. Innodisk only supports Windows and Linux I’m afraid. Other operating systems should work but if any problems arise, support would be somewhat limited.”

So, what do you guys think, would it work? C:

Unable to deploy NSX-v 6.4.0 controllers

$

Hi,

I'm trying to install NSX 6.4.0 in our test lab and when I'm trying to deploy the first NSX controller it fails in the vCenter Tasks and Events with the message: Operation timed out.

Selection_004.jpg

The log inside Networking & Security states the following:

Selection_005.jpg

And by looking at the log inside NSX Manager the first error in a long range of java exceptions is this one:

2018-05-02 16:04:46.479 CEST ERROR pool-45-thread-1 ResourcePoolVcOperationsImpl:196 - - [nsxv@6876 comp="nsx-manager" subcomp="manager"] Error while pushing file '/common/em/components/vdn/controller/ovf/nsx-controller-6.4.0-build7552024-system.vmdk'.
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_151]        at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:350) ~[?:1.8.0_151]

After this point there's a full range of java related garbage messages that continues for ~5 minutes before it gives up.

 

It seems that the error message Error while pushing file '/common/em/components/vdn/controller/ovf/nsx-controller-6.4.0-build7552024-system.vmdk'. is quite important here, but I haven't found any solutions yet. So far I've reviewed different kb articles (VMware Knowledge Base, VMware Knowledge Base) that used to be valid for 6.3.x, but it seems that the problem is different on 6.4.0.

 

DNS is setup correctly (VMware Knowledge Base ) and time is synced on all levels so I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything like this before. This is a totally clean environment that was just recently installed from scratch.

Nested ESXi 6.7 poor network performances on 10G network

Hello,

 

i'm trying to setup a nested lab on 2 physical host with ESXi 6.7 U1 installed. I've configured DVS and a dpg dedicated to Nested ESXi hosts.

 

To enable MAC learning for the specific dpg i've followed (thanks William):

https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2018/04/native-mac-learning-in-vsphere-6-7-removes-the-need-for-promiscuous-mode-for-nes…

 

Checking if it's enabled:

PS C:\Users\Administrator.LAB> Get-MacLearn -DVPortgroupName @("vds01 - vESXi-Trunk")

 

 

 

 

DVPortgroup            : vds01 - vESXi-Trunk

MacLearning            : True

NewAllowPromiscuous    : False

NewForgedTransmits     : True

NewMacChanges          : False

Limit                  : 4096

LimitPolicy            : DROP

LegacyAllowPromiscuous : True

LegacyForgedTransmits  : True

LegacyMacChanges       : False

Seems good.

 

But if i try to test network performances (first on the same physical host) i see quite poor results:

Is that a "normal" results for nested environments? If not, what can i check to improve performances?

VMware-vSphere-CLI-6.7.0-8156551 won't install on RHEL 7.6

Any help?

How can I copy a bunch of folders/files onto a datastore, copy-datastoreItem is having problems?

$
0
0

This is very bizarre. I have a single ESXi server running ESXi 6.5 with no vCenter and PowerCLI 6.5 Release 1.

 

I have a folder called C:\updates on my local laptop.  The folder looks like the following:

   c:\updates

       subfolder1

           specialVib.vib

       subfolder2

           specialVib2.vib

      subfolder3   etc

       ESXi65....zip

 

So I need to copy a mix of folders and files up to a datastore. The code roughly looks like the following:

 

$datastoreObj = get-datatstore -Name "myDatastore"

$psDrive = new-psDrive -Location $datastoreObj -name tmpPsDrive -PSProvider VimDatastore  -Root '\'

$src = "c:\updates"

Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $src -destination "tmpPsDrive:\Updates"

 

It seemed to work once, but during the course of testing other things it stops working.

 

Now when I run it, the datastore contains 2 folders:

 

     2fUpdates     # this folder is correct and has all my content

     Updates       # this folder only contains subfolders and zero files

 

It is suspicious to me that "2F" is the hex value for the ascii char "\"

 

I feel like I may have an incorrect "\" in there somewhere, but nothing I've tried seems to work.

 

All my internet searches seem to show copying a single file, but the cmdlet reference has an example to

copy a folder.

 

Any suggestions/thoughts?

 

I am ridiculously close to deleting the incomplete datastore and renaming the 2f one - ugh.

Loss of permissions on every reboot for ESXi 6.7 Update 1

$
0
0

Every time the ESXi server is rebooted, it appears that it resets all of the permission sets to default.  This includes users, or roles, that are created through the web interface or using esxcli.

 

For instance, if I create a user named test and assign it the administrator role, it works until the machine is rebooted.  After reboot, a check of the permissions shows that root is once again the only user assigned to this role.  While the Administrator role is used as an example here, it also applies to user defined roles as well.

 

Any ideas?

6.5U2c to 6.7U1 Pre-Upgrade Check Failed

Hi,

 

I'm trying to upgrade my vcsa from 6.5U2c (6.5.0.23100) to 6.7U1 but the pre-upgrade checks always fail.

The error I get is "Cannot validate target appliance configuration as not enough information from the source appliance can be collected. For more details check out the server logs"

 

I have tried deleting the new appliance and restarting the upgrade process and I have found this previous thread but that didn't help in my case.

This appliance was upgraded previously from 5.5 rather than being a fresh install.

 

I have attached the logs which I hope will provide some clues.

 

I'm just not sure where to look next

Sorry,I am not good at English,but  I have a few questions when I try to create a VM use IPV6 address.

first : I using the vmware SDK to create a Linux system VM,use IPV6 adress,I found if I set a IPV6 address,then mush  set a IPV4 adress

second : when I create a windows VM,use IPV6 adress,also must set a IPV4 adress, bug when I login system,Check network settings,I found the IPV4 setting do not have any adress and IPV6 setting have custom setting IP.when I use ipconfig command view IP setting,the result have a auto IPV4 address,a auto IPV6 address and custom IPV6 address

 

Sorry ,because my English is not good at ,I am not very sure my question clearly expressed? but ,I want get a answer,THANKS.

vCenterアラーム定義を自動で設定する方法について

行き詰ってしまいましたので皆様のお知恵をお貸しください。

vCenterのアラーム定義を自動で設定する方法を調査しているのですが、

アラームの新規登録の方法が見つからず、手詰まりとなってしまいました。

 

PowerCLIのコマンドを確認したのですが、AlarmActionやAlarmActionTriggerを追加するコマンドはあったのですが、

アラームそのものを追加するコマンドが見当たりませんでした。

確認したPowerCLIのバージョンは11.0.0です

 

特にスクリプトにこだわりがあるわけでは無いので、GUIからインポートが出来る方法があるなどの情報でも大歓迎です。

逆に「出来ない」という事であれば、それも諦めがつきます。

 

以上、宜しくお願いします。
