Problems migrating a VM

Hello,

 

I have a problem when trying to migrate a VM from a ESXi to and other ESXi. I migrate in power off state. This is what I get:

I have 2 ESXi host with vCenter Appliance.

 

When I go to the hosts summary, in the first one (this is the destination of the migration) I have no CPU and memory utilization. There is something wrong because I have the vCenter and other Linux machine powered on:

The other host (this is the source of the migration) looks well:

How could I fix it?

 

I will really appreciate your help.

 

Best regards.

Bridged with fixed IP

May 10, 2016, 12:24 am

Hallo Everyone,

 

I am running VMWare on a Linux host (Ubuntu) and need to connect to a webserver on a VMWare client (Fedora, text-based).

 

The network is set to "bridged" but in the Virtual Network Editor I see that bridged (vmnet0) is automatic (i.e. allowing the client session to access the external internet).

 

But what I need is that a browser in my host session can access the webserver in the client and so I imagine that I need to specifically set the ip addresses(?)

 

The client has the following ifconfig output (first two lines) ...

 

eth0    Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:0c:29:5a:10:ee 

          inet Adresse:172.20.110.138  Bcast:172.20.110.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

 

... with the host having the following ...

 

wlp2s0    Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 18:3d:a2:d7:de:21 

          inet Adresse:192.168.178.95  Bcast:192.168.178.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

 

vmnet1    Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:50:56:c0:00:01 

          inet Adresse:172.16.230.1  Bcast:172.16.230.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

 

vmnet8    Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:50:56:c0:00:08 

          inet Adresse:172.16.120.1  Bcast:172.16.120.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

 

My networking knowledge is not so advanced (but is growing all the time) and my suspicion is that I need to do the following ...

 

1. Switch Bridged Networking to static rather than automatic.  But here I'm not sure what values I should use.

2. Switch off/delete vmnet1 & 8.

3. Set the same subnet masks.  But this is already the case (255.255.255.0), isn't it?

 

Maybe someone out there can help me with this?  Or point me towards a good HOWTO?

 

That would really help me out.

 

Many thanks,

Windows Server 2012 VM becomes unresponsive / VW Tools "Not Running"

November 21, 2015, 3:45 am

I have 2 ESXI 6.0.0 build 3073146 hosts running on IBM x3400 series with local storage, on which i have installed a bunch of virtual machines.

All VMs are running Windows Server 2012 Std.

 

Occasionally and absolutely randomly, some virtual machines become unresponsive. vMware Tools (v. 9.10.5, build-2981885)

shows as "Not Running" in the Summary Pane and the virtual machine is unaccessible via RDP or Console. What i can

basically do in that condition is Power Off the VM.

 

I tried to uninstall and re install VM Tools, tried to change Network Card (currently VMXNET 3) to E1000 or E1000E, but

the issue is still persisting.

 

The issue has started appearing after the upgrade of ESXi 5.5 to the firt version available of ESXi 6.0.

 

I had no issues for a couple of weeks then, suddenly, the problem came out again. This happens only on a subset (2 on a total of 8) of the virtual machines running.

 

Did someone have a similar issue? Any suggestion on how to solve it?

 

Thanks

Missing OpenGL Texture Compression in Windows 7 guest

Host:

   Mid-2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro

   OSX 10.11.4

   VMWare Fusion Pro 8.1.1

 

I am trying to run a WorldWind Java-based application on a Windows 7 Professional guest under Fusion 8.1.1. I have enabled 3D Graphics Acceleration for the guest which claims to support DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3. When I run the application, however, I get a javax.media.opengl.GLException: DXTn compressed textures not supported by this graphics card.

 

Googling around, I see references to this error, but on Linux hosts and resolved by installing a texture compression library for Mesa. This is an OS X host, however, and from what I can tell, Texture Compression is supported by the hardware.

 

Anybody have an idea as to what is going on and how to fix it?

 

Thanks...

Fusion 8 "Steals" Network Rather Than "Sharing" with Mac OSX El Capitan

Hi, all,

 

Having a strange problem here for about the past month.  Used to be that I'd run Fusion 8 (loaded with Windows 10, running on Mac OSX El Capitan), and I would have Internet access on both the Mac side and the Fusion side.  For the past month or so, I lose the connection on my Mac side every time, regardless of whether I've chosen under Network settings the "Share with my Mac," "Autodetect" or "WiFi" options. 

 

Has anyone experienced this and/or know the solution? I'm running Fusion in a completely separate workspace rather than windowed, but I do switch back and forth.  It's only been the past month or so that it happened, and it still happens when I did a clean install of both my Mac and Fusion 8.

Hi All,

 

Trying to spin up new Hyperic HQ in AWS and it is not connecting to postgresql RDS. I am able to telnet from hyperic HQ instance to the RDS on the correct port, but not from Hyperic to RDS.

 

Does anyone know if JDBC should be installed separately?

 

Thank You in advance.

vSphere Web Client 6 Still Extremely Slow and Sucks

Hi all,

 

We are on 6 for a few months now. We have about 7 PSC, 7 vCenters, SRM, VRA VIN etc. In the good days using IE and Chrome it takes about 1:30 to 2 minutes to login . In the bad days random slowness it takes forever 9, 15 minutes etc. I have no idea why and this is been doing to all of the vCenter , we had 4 vCPU went up to 6, have about 12GB RAM on each still not helping. A reboot on vCenter seems to make it faster for a few days then it gets slow again. CPU and RAM usage after few days still the same as the first day ..so I don't really get it.

 

I know people used to tweak Java to make it faster before I personally don't want to deal with this especially that is not supported and who know what update from VMware will make things bad because all these tweaks.

 

I want to ask guys in your larger environments in Enhanced Linked Mode with same SSO but many sites , how fast do you log in ? , try to time it and do it a few times with many browsers it`s very weird.

VMware View 6.2 is just a catastrophe

Hi all,

 

I have several Problems with my VDI at 2 Locations. At the Moment we ware running Version 6.2.2.

The VD Pool is a linked clone pool with sysprep. After a recompose i have different Problems:

 

- over 50% of the Desktops stuck in customizing for hours. after that they are deleted. when i log on a stucked Desktop, Windows wants to restart. a Manual restart doesn't Change anything. it's still stucked.

- when i do a recompose of a single Desktop, the VM boots, but the NIC is not connected.

- when a recompose was successfull after some tries, it sometimes happens when a user wants to log on, that the local Administrator is logged on.

 

i think that were the main issues for the Moment. im really getting tired of this.

Workstation 12 Player and Player 6 on same system?

May 10, 2016, 10:06 am

I occasionally fire up a Windows 7/32bit guest in Player v6/32bit over my Windows 8.1/64 host. I'd like to upgrade that guest to Windows 10/64 so I'll need to reinstall the OS with an ISO.

Since I'm doing that I might as well upgrade to Workstation 12.

 

Is it possible to have a clean installation of both Workstation 12 Player and the older Player 6 on the same system? I'd guess not but I have to ask.

 

I just want to eliminate the pain of doing a full migration to v12/64 and then finding out that there is something I still need from the Player 6/32 guest which I can no longer fire up. I don't want to run them simultaneously, or try to mix v6/12 files with the wrong releases. I just want v6 there if I need it to fire up the v6 guest configs. When v12 is fully up and I'm sure I don't need to look back anymore I'd be fine with uninstalling v6 and removing the old files.

 

That brings up the next question... If I do have these installed side by side, and I uninstall Player 6, is that going to remove underpinnings required for v12, requiring a reinstallation of v12?

 

Thanks!

Any concerns about upgrading Windows to v10 with Workstation?

If I have Workstation 12 Player installed on Windows 8.1, and go through the in-place upgrade to Windows 10, will VMware be OK? Or is there something that needs to be done before or after such an upgrade to ensure it still works?

 

I don't want to upgrade and somehow not be able to use the config files anymore.

 

Thanks!

cannot download VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 Update 2 - Binaries

Hi

 

As the title says I cannot download VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.0 Update 2 - Binaries. I cannot even see the button to press, all I see is manual download, which does not do anything when I press it

I am running firefox 45.1 on centos 7

I have several script blockers running as well as I do not think I should have to compromise my system just to download a piece of software which is not an unreasonable request. For example I am using Noscript and disconnect among others to protect my computer from unwanted things appearing on my browser and in my system. So if that is the problem then I will just listen to the lectures about vmware and use virtual box instead (I am taking my red hat cert)

 

Cheers

VDP 6.1 on vSphere 6.0 web client fails to show status of recent tasks ( VICLIENT shows something completely different...actual information!!!)

April 11, 2016, 6:28 am

Hello,

Running vCenter 6.0 and VDP 6.1 and after launching a backup job ( through the vSphere web client) I can see the job start but only using the viclient's recent tasks ( it DOES NOT show any status or progress through the web client).  Now what makes this problem an issue is that one of the VM's I had in the backup job failed to create a shapshot.  The ONLY REASON I know this is because the viclient recent tasks showing the progress of the backup job alerted me to the issue.  Even after a refresh several times in the webclient there is not indication that the job was ever even run, completed, or FAILED under the Recent Tasks section.  Looking in the Alarms section of the web client also fails to show any indication that there was a failed snapshot on one of the backup jobs.  The only way to view the status was to look at the Tasks Console in the web client and there I could also see the job and failed backup but unless you are already looking for the failure you would never have known.

 

It is very concerning when VMware is pushing clients to use the web client more and the viclient less yet seems we keep losing functionality.  Has anyone else had this issue with VDP 6.1?  If so is there some fix to allow "RECENT TASKS" to actually show the same status in the web client and in the viclient ( They are both talking to the same vCenter so why dont they contain the same information????)  The exact builds I am using are the following

vCenter Server 6.0.0 build 3018524

VDP 6.1.1.19

ESXi 6.0.0 build 3620759

 

And before its suggested the run the VDP 6.1.2 ( latest version) I already tried that and that version had bigger issues freezing up and failing so the version I am using seemed to be more stable :-)

VDP tasks not visible in vSphere Web Client

I configured a backup job in VDP which backups all my vms at night. This job runs fine but I never see any tasks about VDP in the task list in VDP ?

The reporting by email works fine but when I run a manual backup job or if I would like to know if VDP is performing maintenance tasks it would be nice to see this in the task list.

I already opened a support ticket for this but Vmware support told me this was normal behaviour which I seriously doubt ???

 

I think this has something to do with the SSO configuration because there is a note on page 14 of the VDP admin guide but to me the configuration seems correct.
