Currently running into an issue where the Active DLR is experiencing HIGH CPU. I have performed some research without success. The only way to work around the issue that I have found is to reboot the active DLR. In a production situation this doesn't work well.
Currently running 6.1.5 because of an EHC3.1 requirement.
Does anyone know the cause of this issue besides the fact that 6.1.5 is buggy?
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me with a script. I need to do an audit of our datastores with capacity, provisioned, and available. I did find a snippet of code which returns the information I need, but is there a way to indicate which cluster these DataStores are assigned to?
Here is the code I'm using.
$report
= @() get-datastore
| % {
$info = "" | select DataCenter, Name, Capacity, Provisioned, Available
$info.Datacenter = $_.Datacenter
$info.Name = $_.Name
$info.Capacity = [math]::Round($_.capacityMB/1024,2)
$info.Provisioned = [math]::Round(($_.ExtensionData.Summary.Capacity - $_.ExtensionData.Summary.FreeSpace + $_.ExtensionData.Summary.Uncommitted)/1GB,2)
$info.Available = [math]::Round($info.Capacity - $info.Provisioned,2)
$report += $info }
#$report | sort Available | format-table –auto
Ideally I'd like to have a spreadsheet with a seperate worksheet for each Cluster, but having a single sheet with all datastores and their cluster would be fine as well.
Thx
Hi.
I've generated a report using the RVTools application and filtered all the "Possibly a Zombie vmdk file! Please check." options so I can attempt to free up space on many datastores.
The below disk (as an example) was flagged as a possible zombie vmdk file:
When I navigate to this particular VM and check the settings for the Disks currently attached to it this one does not appear, instead another disposable disk does.
So.... my question is can the original disk that had been flagged as being a zombie vmdk be removed since it doesn't appear to be attached to the VM anymore, or is it still linked to something somewhere??
Thanks to anyone for their help.
i am having throughput issues between VM's once NSX has been installed. i have tested throughput between VM's prior to NSX insalltion ans was able to achieve 8-9Gbps using netperf on CentOS 7.1 vm's located on different ESX6.0 nodes attached to a dvs portgroup. I installed NSX6.2 and attached my vm's to logical switches, re-ran the same netperf tests, and am only seeing 3-4Gbps of throughput.
Hi all,
we have 2 ESXi host on Version 6.0. When I want to enter one host in maintanance mode, i got the error: Insufficent resources to satisfy vSphere HA Failover Level on Cluster
In the summary tab of the Cluster it is written: Current Failover Capacity: 1 host
DRS is activated. And I remember that in past the machines were migrated automatically when i entered one host in maintenance mode. CPU and Memory are not over 30% per host.
Hi
So I'm trying to produce a list of VMs that have outdated vmware tools on a specific cluster (environment is vSphere6, PowerCLI is latest release).
This is my code snippet:
[code]
Connect-VIServer -Server prodvc01 -user blah -password oink
$ClusterName = "Servers"
$WorkList = Get-Cluster $ClusterName | Get-VM | where {$_.VirtualMachineToolsStatus -ne "toolsOk"}
$WorkList | select Name | Export-CSV "C:\WorkList.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Disconnect-VIServer -Server prodvc01.interior.network -Confirm:$false
[/code]
Strangely enough, when I run this snippet the way you see it, it returns a list of all the VMs on that particular cluster, however if I change the operand from '-ne' to '-eq' it returns an empty list.
To make things even more weird, the same thing happens if I use the 'VirtualMachineToolVersionStatus'- cmdlet with the 'guestToolsNeedUpgrade' enumerator.
I'm just baffled right now. Any suggestions?
I apologize if this question has been asked. Is there a away to delete cancelled alerts in vRops? If I goto administration->alerts I see 328 pages of alerts. It seems most of these are from a long time ago because the dates they were created on and cancelled on are from months ago. Is there a way to purge these old events so they do not show up in the alerts tab?
I have migrated the vcenter SQL database to a new server following this KB
but now most of the vcenter services won't start due to depending on the inventory service. I can see from the inventory service log what the issue is, it is trying to connect to the default SQL server port, 1433, but my SQL server instance is listening on a different fixed port that I do not want to alter. Where can I configure the inventory service to us a different SQL server port? According to a KB linked to from the one above it is possible to do so
but unfortunately I have vcenter 6 and the instructions above do not seem to apply, I cannot even find ssocli, the folder structure mentioned doesn't exist on my installation
Thanks.

We installed SRM with vSphere Replication. Our first single VM replication job has been stuck at 0% - Initial Full Sync for over 24 hours.
How should I troubleshoot?
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I am sick and tired of the load of issues VMware gives us around SSL. I think I know by now a lot more than many VMware support guys when it comes to tools integration SSL issues etc. Anyways all that being said today I found out another issue around SSL which I dont have an answer. Hope some of you might be able to help faster than support, based on my experience with them when it comes to SSL and other issue.
So when trying to add a brand new ESXi 6 host with self signed certs to vCenter 6 with the web client or the thick client this comes up "A general system error occurred: Unable to get root certificates from VECS" . VECS is SSL so I am guessing something messed up there.
Now I tricked it a bit, got the SSL done manually installed added to vCenter no problem, but issue still there. So if you right click on the host and click renew certs same error comes up.
How can we fix this ? I am just tired of vSphere 6 and SSL issue ....

Hello everyone,
Begin I start, just want to clarify that I'm new to ESXi. I've built a secondary server for the specific purpose of testing out the features and making mistakes in order to learn. For the past few weeks I've been creating, editing and re-creating VMs on our host and learning along the way. The following issue arose after deleting hard drives from a VM. I had added two extra hard drives to a VM in order to understand how it worked, and after I had no more use for these two extra drives, I deleted them from the VM using the web UI. The process gave no errors, but I believe I made a rookie mistake by also deleting the extra vmdks from the datastore manually using the datastore explorer.
Now, after trying to create a snapshot of the VM, I'm getting this error:
An error occurred while saving the snapshot: A required file was not found.
An error occurred while taking the snapshot: A required file was not found.
Here's the screenshot for reference. I'm assuming the file that can't be found is a vmdk (which I thought wasn't necessary since the hard drive had been removed).
In this state, the VM boots up normally with no errors. I just can't take any further snapshots. I will appreciate all the help I can get.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I noticed that one of my VMs os not reporting its real-time stats to my ESXi host. I see no CPU and RAM usage, nor VMware Tools running. I make sure that VMware Tools are installed, and in fact they are. I re-installed them but the problem persists. Rebooting the host does show stats at first, but after a few minutes they go back to zero. Not really sure why. Any ideas?
Here's a couple of screenshots.
I have a small VM environment that consists of one ESXi 6.0 U1 host that's running on a Dell PE T320. Only two active VMs. One is the domain controller and the other is the IIS server. I have an APC Smart UPS1000XL that everything is plugged into for power but the USB cable is currently not going into anything. What would I need to install or setup that would allow me to plug the USB cable from the APC unit directly into the ESXi host so that I can configure it to shutdown everything gracefully in case of a power outage.
Hello,
How can I get with vCO 5.5 all clusters from one vCenter, in case I have more vCenters added to vCO ?
I known only VM name parameter corresponding to that vCenter.
Thank you
I'm currently setting up Horizon 7 on Windows 2012 R2 server (German version), and everything seems to work perfectly.
However, the Dashboard complaints about the replication status of the two connection servers.
Error Message:
"Replikationsstatus des Verbindungsservers konnte nicht abgerufen werden"
Translation: "Replication status could not be retrieved"
After checking the log files it looks like a translation issue to me, because replication works as expected, i.e. no errors

Did someone already experience such an issue, and has a solution?
Just asking here in the communities prior to opening a support case!

I recovered a VM after I had a HDD crash. However when I try to start it, it brings up the error:
A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
I have attached the log from such an attempt.
Is it possible to salvage this VM?
Hi,
We've got replication started on 8 VMs between two sites. Everything seem to be configured okay so far.
However, we are seeing a pattern in the Replication Reports (Transferred Bytes) that we aren't sure is normal or not.
Basically data will transfer for a couple of hours, then there seems to be a gap of a few hours where nothing is sent, then there's a couple of hours again - It's currently not transferring anything and I'm monitoring to see if this picks up again at some point.
Please see the image for a better idea of what's happening - Just trying to figure out if this is normal or not during the initial sync of a number of VMs?
Hey everyone, I am new to Fusion.
So this is what happening, I just install a windows10 under fusion and trying to play some games on it.
My hosting Mac has a GT 650m, and I am giving the VM 3 cores and 5 MB memory. I enabled the 3D accelerate and set it to use high performance graphic at all time.
The vm runs just fine, but doesn't matter what game I play, even those small and low graphic game, it lag really bad.
Is there anything I should do to fix this?
