Write volumes not mounting on any VM

Hi,

 

I am using Appvolumes 3 with UEM 9 and when i mount a writable disk to any VM (win7 or win10) it does not show up.

Looking at the logfiles i see the following:

I am curious why this happens ... i can see that the disk is created on the datastore.

Non-writable volumes are mounted just fine and works like a charm.

 

Cheers!

Using VCenter Orchestrator - I have a workflow that will get kicked off via the REST API but the only input option I have from my users POV is a string.

The input from the user should look something like May 9, 2016 2:125:50 PM or similar.

 

Is there a way for me to format the string/pass a string to the workflow and set the waiting timer object on this input?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

VmWare: Windows server 2012/2012r2 freeze with Sep 12.1.X

May 10, 2016, 6:16 am

Hi to all.

In my company we have the same issue: random unresponsive server (2012/2012r2)

We have ESXI 6.0 up.2

We opened different support request (VmWare, Microsoft, etc) but no one tell us why this happened, and no solution.

Then crossing different tables from different console, i noticed that all unresponsive server had same sep version (12.1.2.x).

So i open a technical call to Symantec, and meantime i started to distribute last update of sep client (at time 12.1.6.x). This update require a system reboot, so only 30-40% of systems have been updated in the first step.

Symantec tell me we had old version of SEP, and requested us full Microsoft dump to analize (but this require reboot,too!) as well as update all client version.

No one server with last SEP version (21.1.6.x) got unresponsive.

At the end, Symantec confirm us problem was right in SEP version:

@- Fix ID: 3590578
@ Symptom: System freezes due to a deadlock in File System Auto-Protect driver after updating virus definitions.
@ Solution: Modified File System Auto-Protect driver to avoid this deadlock.

So, UPGRADING SEP TO LAST VERSION, PROBLEM SOLVED.

I hope to have helped.

Marvel 88E8053 NIC Net51-drivers (VFrontDe community version) looses connection after some time on ESXi6

Dear community,

after upgrading to ESXi6, my ExpressCard Nic, it's a Marvell Technologies, Inc. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (11ab:4362) was not recognized anymore by Esxi6. Thank god, i found this site where a community based version of the net51 drivers for "esxi 6" could be found. The installation was easy and after a reboot the NIC was available. Perfect! 1000 thanks to Andreas Peetz (VFrontDe)
The problem is, that after a random time (minutes to days) the data flow through the card interrupts. Ping does not reach the target anymore. In the VSphere Client the NIC seems to be up and connected. When I change the speed of the card from the vSpheer client (for example from 100MBit, half duiplex to 100MBit full duplex), the connection works for some minutes, until it dies again...
Does anybody hav a idea, how I can find out what the problem is? Is there any way to "debug" that?
Many regards and thank you

Christian

ESXi passthrough DirectPath I/O LSI2008 PCI does not persist on reboot

May 8, 2016, 5:50 am

0

I've configured an ESXi 6 test environment inside a Dell T7500 workstation to duplicate some of my professional systems. One virtual machine is a FreeNAS storage system. I've installed a LSI M1015 card configured to be a SATA controller. The LSI card is in JBOD mode, not RAID mode. The LSI card must show its disks directly to FreeNAS. I configured the LSI card as a passthrough device on ESXi. I added the device to the FreeNAS virtual machine. Everything worked fine...until I reboot the ESXi vhost.

 

Host machine:

Dell T7500

24 GB RAM

DirectPath is supported

 

On rebooting the ESXi vhost, the LSI card reverts to being discovered by ESXi. The FreeNAS virtual machine no longer has a bit of necessary hardware, so it fails to start.

 

I wish to make the passthrough of the LSI card persistent through ESXi reboots.

Problem in vMotion traffic and HA failure detection and Shown the Network Partitioned State

I have some problem when i am trying to run vMotion between some Hosts. in this situation, I face randomly some errors which indicate HA error and partitioned mode detection.

my settings in all Hosts is the same and all of them are ESXi5.5 u2 with vCenter 5.5 and i have following settings:

in every ESXi, I have 2 virtual switch, one switch is standard and another is distribute switch

VMnic0 & 3 is connected to standard switch (2NICs are teamed )&

VMnic1,2 is connected to distribute switch (2NICs are teamed )

in every standard switch in any ESXi, I create 2 port group which is one for Management traffic with 10.10.10.0/24 & gateway=10.10.10.1 in vLAN 80

the second port group called vMotion with 10.40.40.0/24 with gateway=10.10.10.1 in vLAN 100 ( There aren't vLAN 100 on standard switch and it is in distribute switch)

in the last, When I run vMotion to migrate VMs, it may be shown red alerts on Hosts icon and most of time it will be fade out rapidly!

 

I believe that this error will be related to one of this items:

1-mismatch setting in port group management and vmotion

2- two VMnics on standard switch is Acive and is teamed

3- physical network connectivity between hosts to physical switchs and may be mismatch configuration on physical CISCO switch (TOR)

4- or other hidden secrets

what are some reason to this issue? thanks for all friends who are focused on this issue

Write a soap client in C++, using gSoap, to request a token from Vcenter Single Sign on Server

August 20, 2015, 3:32 am

I need to connect to a "Storage Policy Server" and list the available storage profiles. I need to achieve this in c++.

 

I have generated c++ code for the sso and spbm web services, using gsoap. All the examples that are shared with the sso-client and spbm SDKs are in Java or dotnet.

I am unable to relate the apis and the flow in these examples with the c++ code that has been generated by gsoap. Please share an example c++ code snippet to request a SAML token from sso server and then get the session cookie which can be used for iteracting with spbm server.

 

The Java and dotnet samples use the statement "service = new STSService();". But, in the code generated by gsoap, I do not see any definition of class "STSService". Instead there is a class "STSService_USCOREBinding" which has the member function "issue()" to request for a SAML token. But this is not working as expected.

 

This is my first experience with soap programming. Please provide me some pointers to start with and write an sso-client and then the spbm client.

Hi,

 

I have a datastore made of a 20TB disk and an extent of about 40TB (local disks, areca raid controller).

Long story short, I had to delete and re-create the 40TB volume on the RAID controller (without initalization, of course).

Now all the data is there but eui changed for the 40TB volume and vmware is unable to mount it.

The file system [backvol1, 55e980d4-386dfa7f-7cb2-0cc47a09ba36] is now in a degraded state. While the datastore is still available, parts of data that reside on the extent that went offline might be inaccessible.

ESXi 6.0U1a build 3073146 vpxa crashing randomly, host disconnected from vCenter

November 18, 2015, 2:39 pm

After recently upgrading vCenter and ESXi to 6.0U1a and installing all patches (now build numbers 3018524 and 3073146 respectively), we began experiencing random host disconnects from vCenter.  The host itself and all guests on it are still alive when it's disconnected; I can SSH to the host and RDP/SSH to guests.  If I literally do nothing, it eventually fixes itself and rejoins vCenter within 15-20 minutes.  We did not have this issue prior to upgrading to 6.0U1a.  This is not the "NETDEV WATCHDOG: vmnic4: transmit timed out" issue.  In fact, the reason we upgraded to the latest build was to get the fix for that particular issue.

 

I've personally witnessed this happen now on three different hosts and never has it reoccurred on the same host twice that we have noticed.  The vmkernel.log simply shows:

 

2015-11-18T20:56:42.662Z cpu12:173086)User: 3816: wantCoreDump:vpxa-worker signal:6 exitCode:0 coredump:enabled

The vpxa.log doesn't show anything building up to the disconnection and leaves a large gap after the agent crashes, like so:

vCenter logs simply show the host becoming unreachable so the problem is obviously host-side.

 

Anyone else seeing similar activity?  This has all the feel of another "known issue" but I don't see any talk about it.  I did open a case with VMware support and am awaiting contact now.

Hi guys,

 

In our environment we are using VMWare horizon infraestructure.

We are facing an issue that everytime we type the (portuguese) special characters like ~ ou ´´this changed automatically, for example:

 

Typing ~: it repeats twice

Typing´ : it turns to ç

 

This is happening in every browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE) and at least with local Windows 7/8.1/10 OS.

The VDI OS is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

 

VDI over horizon client we are not facing this problems.

 

In local PC and VDI the keyboard is defined for Portuguese (Portugal).

 

Do you have any idea about to fix it?

Ok so I'm trying to move my App Volumes 2.10 cloudvolumes folder from datastoreA on vcenterA to datastoreB on vcenterB since we are trying to separate our VDI from our Core infrastructure.

 

We are able to access both vcenters from the web client.

 

I tried to just copy the cloudvolumes folder from datastoreA to datastoreB and received the following error.

 

Copy file The object  has already been deleted or has not been completely created


I've seen this error in Veeam before when moving VMs from one datastore to another. The fix is to remove and readd the VM in inventory.


Has anyone else tried to move the cloudvolumes folder?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

Your host license will expire in X days" message in an ESXi 6 Host

I have a yellow warning message for an ESXi 6 host managed by essentials - when i check the licence it shows me:-

 

Product: VMware vSphere 6 Essentials (CPUs)

Licence: License 1

Licence Expiration: never

 

In the licence manager - it shows that of my allocated 6CPUs i am using three, which equals the CPUs in the two machines i am using.

 

Could this be a connection error - or is there really a case for the ESXi server disconnecting when it thinks its licence times out.

200% SCALING SUPPORT NEEDED - as VMware Fusion does

April 13, 2016, 12:55 am

Nowadays more and more high-resolution monitors and laptops adopted, lots of which supports 200%+ scaling, aka 192+ DPI. But since I use an HR-Monitor running VMWare Workstation running Windows XP, it is impossible to use it since it displays TOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! And if I sets the guest OS's DPI to 192, most old software WORK INCORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VMWare Workstation supports scaling only in full-screen mode. But it BLURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS even in 200% scaling, and not useful at all.

 

I have tried VMware Fusion on Retina MacBook Pro, it has an check box switches using Retina Full Resolution or not. If you uncheck it, guest resolution will be 1440x900 or 1280x800, and 4 host pixels represent 1 guest pixel, and check it, guest resolution will be 2880x1800 or 2560x1600, and 1 host pixel represents 1 guest pixel. I think it's a nice function.

 

I have tried VirtualBox. To my surprise, VirtualBox ALREADY SUPPORTS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a RIDICULOUSNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How a poor virtual machine software supports but a first-class one does not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
