Hello,
Does anyone have a script to get the VDS information on the host level as to which nic is connected to which uplink ?
Also to remove any portgroups created in the VDS switch for the host and then to recreate the portgroups as they were after connecting the host to a diff vCenter ?
Also any script to copy the resource pools across VCenter ?
Thanks,
Suraj Rawat
After successful upgrade to vSphere 6u2, I can no longer run API scripts:
vmcreate.pl --url https://${vcenter}:443/sdk/webService <parameters>
Results in:
I have updated and tried the latest perl SDK as well, same error.
I have administrator rights on vCenter level , propagating all the objects.
Any suggestions more than welcome!
Thanks!
Hey,
We have 15 Dell XS23-TY3 nodes hosted across 5 Dell C6100 Quad Nodes. They are all running with a vCenter Server Essentials Kit that provides these with fairly basic functionality (no HA)
These devices are in two different datacenters, but with all with identical setups that are fairly standard:
- BMC 1.3 System BIOS: 1.69 through 1.71 (hangs happen among all hosts with varying BIOS versions. I update the BIOS after a failure and hosts don't stop hanging, etc.)
- iSCSI software HBAs per host
- Connection to iSCSI datastore that supports ESXi
- 2 x Intel 5540 2.53GHz Xeons
- 32-48GB RAM
- Redundant 1GB iSCSI connections and redundant vmnics for network traffic (management network also redundant)
- Internal boot storage (some SSDs and some HDDs. Flash drives were disconnecting too often for our setup)
- ESXi 6.0 connected to vCenter Server 6.0
- IPMI 2.0 with remote access via DRAC (saving grace here to reboot the hosts)
The hosts randomly hang and require a hard reset via the DRAC. After rebooting everything resumes for a few weeks to a few months or more...but eventually some lead back to hanging again. Anyone experienced this issue? Dell or non-Dell?
Side note/question:
Have IPMI devices caused issues in the past? I noticed twice that I had to reset/pull the CMOS battery to get the ipmi_srv screen to load and allow ESXi to boot normally.

I can't customize the IP address of RHEL6 through vRA as follows:
Request failed: Machine vra58: CustomizeVM : [CustomizeVM_Task] - fault.CustomizationPending.summary.
I can customize the IP address of RHEL6 though vCenter without vRA.
Is there anyone who knows hints to resolve this?
I have passed through an AMD FirePro to a Windows 2008 R2 VM
I have successfully installed the video driver
The Device Manager shows both the AMD and VMWare SVGA cards
I cannot configure the FirePro in Windows - only the VM SVGA comes up in Display Settings
How do I know if the FirePro is actually being used ? How would I activate hardware acceleration in this environment ?

Is it possible to avoid applying the new lease at all if no action is taken by machine owner and let the owner to use existing lease as it is?
Hello,
Is below scenario supported regarding iSCSI software port binding (ESXi 6.x)?
Two iSCSI storage devices (2 controllers each) in two different subnets: 192.168.10.x and 192.168.20.x (mask 255.255.255.0).
Host ESXi with one iSCSI vSwitch.
Four vmkernel portgroups: two in 192.168.10.x subnet and two in 192.168.20.x subnet.
There is an ISCSI software port binding configured for each vmkernel port.
Please note, that this scenario is little bit different from examples on VMware KB: Considerations for using software iSCSI port binding in ESX/ESXi
Hi All,
In ESXi5.5 I can see the below error in vmkernel log messages
cpu9:64514)WARNING: Heap: 4145: Heap_Align(vmklnx_"lfs", 1536/1536 bytes, 8 align) failed. caller: 0x41800a0d2b98
cpu9:64514)WARNING: Heap: 3819: Could not allocate 2048 bytes for dynamic heap vmklnx_lfs. Request returned Admission check failed for memory resource
Heap memory increases over time, forcing to reboot the host or allow the heap to consumed completely, crashing the host. And also vphere host losing connectivity.
Why the driver allocating the heap memory dynamically and why is not able to allocate. Is it relate to out of memory in host server or any specific reason?
Please suggest
Thanks in advance
Hello,
There is any way to change font size for vRO client interface?
Changing DPI in windows has no effect on client.
Thank you

Because of this we are getting warnings: Warning: unexpected element 'jaxws:bindings' at level 3 is skipped (safe to ignore)
And it is not able to find few definitions like IssueRequestPolicy.
How to generate code using wsdl2h.exe to get ride of these errors?
Hi,
This is may be a little off an unusual request but I am looking to setup a lab environment with NSX and as part of the setup I would like to try hardware VTEP L2 capabilities with NSX.
In a nested setup would I be able to tested hardware VTEP?
Thanks

Hi All
Got a strange one. When I create an entry point to Outlook that is locally installed it indicates that an "Upgrade in Progress" & "Upgrade Outlook Connector" have any of you ever seen this before it stops you from sending and receiving. If you open Outlook first and then open the entry point created Outlook shortcut this error does not appear and then you can close down the fist outlook you opened.
Cheers

Добрый день
Установлен vCenter Appliance 5.5
Хочу добавить удаленные хосты ESXi по внешнему ip. Ввожу root, пароль, хост успешно добавляется, но в нормальном состоянии он буквально до первых действий с виртуальными машинами. Только пытаюсь сделать снапшот или любое другое действие, отваливается (восклицательный красный знак).
Пробовал добавлять как хост по внешним ip, так и те которые за шлюзом пробросив порты 443 и 80.
Подскажите, без vpn можно добавлять сервера в vCenter для его управления? Если да то какие при этом особенности конфигурации?
Greetings All! Management is asking for a monthly report that shows number of VMs created for the previous month. I see some default VM Growth Trend reports but that doesn't quite seem to do it. They really just want the one number, not any forecasting info.
To be clear, we're looking for a way to provide this report from vRealize Operations Manager.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Running Fusion 8.1.1 on OSX 10.11.4.
I am connecting to a Windows 7 x64 VM running on a vSphere 6 server. The vSphere server is managed by a vCenter Server. I use the "File / Connect to Server" menu option and type in my vCenter Server address.
The VM window / desktop resolution comes up at 800x600. I, then, change it to some other resolution, say, 1280x800.
However, if I close the window and some time passes by (not sure how long, but say a few hours) and I re-connect, the VM is now back to 800x600.
I am looking for a way/option to make sure that the VM always stays at the last resolution it was set at.
Hi Guys
Strange issue i'm having I have been able to create a bunch of VM's though for some reason now when I go to boot from datastore ISO the VM doesnt seem to be able to detect the CD-ROM properly.
I can see the cd rom drive when I go into the bios though there is no + next to it indicating something is connected. Yes the connected box is ticked, and this has worked before though I can figure out why it has now stopped.
Does anyone know if its possible to query the Baseboard Management Controller object using the vSphere Perl SDK? This is the object that is defined under the Hardware Status tab for an ESXi host.
All my Dell servers have DRAC modules installed, which come up as a baseboard management controller in vCenter. I'd like to programmatically query these ESXi hosts and return the Management Controller IP Interface of this device.
Based on the SDK, I'd assume this data would be under HostNumericSensorInfo, but when I query that object's name and currentReading properties, I don't get anything close to resembling DRAC/BMC data.
Am I looking at the wrong data object? FYI, the data I'm looking for is not the same as what's in HostIpmiInfo, as that's a user configurable option for DPM.
I have used VMWare Player for many years while going to school and never had a problem (AMD system running Win 7 Pro 64 host, Win 7 Pro 64 guest). I built a new machine, installed Windows 7 and started having problems with player crashing after 3 to 4 hours of use, and the only way to regain ownership is to restart the PC. Upgraded to workstation, problem persists. Made new virtual machine (same OS), problem persists. Upgraded to Windows 10, problem persists. Uninstalled and reinstalled many times, trying both old and new versions, have tried disabling graphics acceleration and a number of other things that have seemed to help others with similar issues, but none of it has solved the problem. Hopefully I can get answers here as I have been working on this for 2 weeks now with no progress...
THE ERROR:
VMWare Player unrecoverable error: (vthread-11)
