plugin.xml solution menu composite constraint not being respected

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a solution menu defined in my project's plugin.xml.  I have a nested composite constraint with 2 boolean checks that currently works fine when filtering the menu items:

<extension id="com.me.vm.actions.menu">

        <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.menus.solutionMenus</extendedPoint>

        <object>
...
</object>
<metadata>

            <objectType>VirtualMachine</objectType>

            <propertyConditions>

                <com.vmware.data.query.CompositeConstraint>

                    <nestedConstraints>

                        <com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

                            <propertyName>propertyA</propertyName>

                            <comparator>EQUALS</comparator>

                            <comparableValue>

                                <Boolean>true</Boolean>

                            </comparableValue>

                        </com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

                        <com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

                            <propertyName>propertyB</propertyName>

                            <comparator>EQUALS</comparator>

                            <comparableValue>

                                <Boolean>false</Boolean>

                            </comparableValue>

                        </com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

            </propertyConditions>

        </metadata>

</extension>

 

If I add a third property constraint, this time numeric, to the composite constraint then the following happens:

1. The solution menu label is not displayed and instead the plugin name is used instead (i.e. all my-ui actions)

2. All actions are visible and enabled regardless of the constraint propery values

3. Under my solutions menu a "More Uncategorized Actions" submenu is added even though there is no hierarchy in my defined extension point.

 

Do you have any pointers on why this behavior might be seen?  Thanks 

 

Example numeric property constraint:

<com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

                            <propertyName>myVersion</propertyName>

                            <comparator>EQUALS</comparator>

                            <comparableValue>

                                <Number>800</Number>

                            </comparableValue>

                        </com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

 

<extension id="com.simplivity.vm.actions.menu">
        <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.menus.solutionMenus</extendedPoint>
        <object>
        ...
    </object>
    <metadata>
            <objectType>VirtualMachine</objectType>
            <propertyConditions>
                <com.vmware.data.query.CompositeConstraint>
                    <nestedConstraints>
                        <com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>
                            <propertyName>propertyA</propertyName>
                            <comparator>EQUALS</comparator>
                            <comparableValue>
                                <Boolean>true</Boolean>
                            </comparableValue>
                        </com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>
                        <com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

Compatibility between VMWare Workstation Versions...

$

I wanted to know the backward compatibility of different versions of VMware Workstation.

Can a Virtual Machine created on the latest version of VMware Workstation Pro 12 be started up under older versions

of VMware Workstations in my case version 7 ?

We have different licensed versions between different computers, but we need to be able to transfer and run the same

virtual machines on the different machines with different versions of the Workstation software.

I am away of being able to run and upgrade old virtual machines to newer version, but need to know if this can be reverse

to go the other way?

 

Thank you for any response!

Weird snapshot state on ESX 5.5

Can anyone tell me what this tells you?

 

I have never seen a snapshot state like this.

 

I can click on the "u" state and select "go to", delete or delete-all

 

What happens is if I click either of these?

 

I am having the idea that I am on the latest state, but the logically the image tell me something else.

Changing the name of the virtual machine files in the datastore

$

Hello everybody! I am using vSphere ESXi 4.1 and I am trying to understand if it is possible to change the names of the files that are stored on the datastore. Sometimes the names of the virtual machines are changing and it is difficult to understand what virtual machines are which ones exactly. And sometimes their is a nessesity to release some space in the datastore and it is a dire task to understand which hard disk you can erase from the datastore. If I am trying to rename files directly in the datastore than the VM it doesn't work. How it can be done anyway? Hope it was possible to understand what I meant.

 

Any advices appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Wiped out HBA config with firmware update

Hi All,

I just recently updated the firmware on an Emulex fiber card in an HP dl380 G6  running esx 5.5.

Not only are my paths to the SAN gone, but I can't see the card in vsphere to re-configure.

Is there some way to initialize the device to get it to show up?

The drivers, etc are installed.

Thanks,

Requesting assistance: How To configure it correctly

$
0
0

Environment:
10 Physical servers on Network 10.10.20.x
ESXi 6.0 (4 servers) on Network 10.10.20.x
vCenter 6.0 (physical server) on Network 10.10.20.x
20+ VMs on Network 10.10.20.x
(1) dvSwitch for all 4 ESX servers
Cisco 7000 Switches (2 switches) on Mgmt Network 172.26.x.x

 

I have little or no experience with VMWare, and have just attended the two Cisco CCNA classes to give me a

foundation of knowledge to help me to configure network equipment to support the environnment.

 

I have been handed the above network to manage, and I need assistance to understand first... how ESXi should have

been set up, and in conjunction with that, how to configure the switches connecting the ESX and vSphere servers to

support the VM network.

 

I see several problems:
I have production servers on the .20 network, AND the ESX managment traffic on the same .20 network
I do not have vMotion configured, and do not have a separate network (or VLAN) on which to put that.
At this point, there are only (2) 1GB NICs in each ESXi server to carry all traffic.

 

In addition, I am being tasked to set up some VMs on a separate network, which needs to be segregated from the

production .20 network  (this traffic will be on the 10.10.22.x network).


To me, all of the above seems to require setting up the ESX servers and the ports connecting the ESX to the Cisco

switch to support multiple VLANs.

 

My thoughts about what needs to be accomplished are the following:
1) Put the ESX servers themselves on the Management Network VLAN 26 (172.26.x.x) (configurable at the console of

each ESX server)... while keeping the VMs on the Production .20 Network VLAN 2
2) Ensure the vCenter server is also on the Management Network VLAN 26 so that it can manage the ESX Cluster.
3) configure the Cisco switch ports to Trunk mode - allowing all VLANs (native VLAN is VLAN 1).. meaning all

traffic ( ESX Mgmt VLAN26, Production .20 network VLAN2, .24 network VLAN22 ) would be in VLANS and all traffic is tagged.
4) after the above is working, add additional VLANs and networks in the 172.26.x.x range for vMotion, HA-Heartbeat, etc.

 

Before getting into the weeds on HOW to do this... Does this make sense?  Am I missing or misunderstanding anything?

 

Thanks,
Rich

Bandwidth usage between Compute and Storage

$

If I have applications running on a Compute Engine (in vCloud Air) and I access a Cloud Storage bucket (also inside vCloud Air, although those are really Google Cloud buckets, I think), do I get charged for the bandwidth used for writing and/or reading objects? Note, there's no egress from the overall vCloud network, and these are cloud storage transactions confined to vCloud.

Ceilometer configuration is getting failed in 51 % in VMware IntegratedOpenstack

Hi,

 

I am trying to configure Ceilometer in VMware Integrated openstack 2.0 but the same is getting failed in 51 %.

 

 

From the ansible logs under Jarvis on the VIO management,

 

I can see some fatal errors "SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH debugging output to  help diagnose the issue.

 

 

FATAL: no hosts matched or all hosts have already failed -- aborting.

 

Please suggest some information on how to successfully configure Ceilometer.

 

Thanks

Strange behavior between ESXi hosts

$

Hi All,

 

I am facing some strange situation, i have 3 esxi host, which are using 6.0U2, esxi1, esxi2, esxi3. Those esxi host are registered to vCenter 6.0U2 as well.

 

- vCenter can ping to esxi1,esxi2, esxi3

- esxi1 can ping to vCenter, esxi2, esxi3

- esxi2 can ping to vCenter, esxi1

- esxi3 can ping to vCenter, esxi1

 

Ping from esxi2 and esxi3 vice versa is always failed. I have checked the vSwitch, vmkernel, ipsetting, etc in both esxi 2 and esxi 3, and can't find something wrong. Anyway this is nested configuration and all VMs are within same host.

 

Is there any clue to figure out the root cause?

 

Thanks alot

VMware ESXi 5.5 - virtual disk size 62TB

VMware ESXi 5.5

Virtual Machine Maximums:

Virtual disk size 62TB

Configuration Maximums for VMware vSphere 5.0, 5.1, 5.5

VMware KB: Frequently Asked Questions on VMware vSphere 5.x for VMFS-5

 

For the virtual disk 62TB maximum, does it depend on the guest virtual machine version or I just need to have ESXi 5.5? For example, if the guest virtual machine version is 8 running on ESXi 5.5, will the virtual disk of 62TB work?

 

Thanks

VMware ESXi 5.5.0 - which maximum file size is correct?

$
0
0

I have VMware ESXi 5.5.0. ESXi 5.5.0 supports 62TB for the virtual disk size.

 

However, the ESXi host server doesn't say 62TB.

 

configuration -> storage -> datastore1 -> maximum file size says 2TB

virtual machine -> edit settings -> hard disk 2 - > maximum file size says 3.3TB

 

Questions

1. Why doesn't the ESXi host server say 62TB for the max file size?

2. Why does the max file says 2TB in one window and 3.3TB in another window?

3. What exactly is the largest virtual disk size I can have on this ESXi host server?

Multiple DHCP VLANs in build profile

$
0

Hi guys,

 

I need some assistance / picking some brains on how to achieve 'full-on' network automation without the use of NSX, nor vSphere DHCP via vRA's network profiles, but via MS DHCP. I would have multiple VLANs where I can grab an addresses from and make use of reservations.

 

Here are a few questions / scenarios:

1) Can a build profile manage multiple hard-coded VLANs where it will auto-balance addressing? i.e once the VLAN fills up, it will move onto my next VLAN specified? Or what would be equivalent to this?

2) If one uses network profiles, can vSphere DHCP update the Microsoft DHCP server for which address was used and then reserve that IP and not make it available to anyone else?

3) How can I make 'intelligent' VLAN selection possible via the use of certain selection criteria? similar to a few posts to increment and make a unique hostname based on selection...i.e COMPANY/LOCATION/ENVIRONMENT. So if I choose COMPANY = Nike, LOCATION=EU, ENV=Dev, the name could be NEUDEVxx, and behind each selection, it will determine which VLANS are available to it for segmentation purposes. So if I choose Nike/EU/Dev, I have VLAN 1-10, if I choose Nike/EU/Test .... then i have VLAN 11-20 behind to choose from

 

 

Does this make sense? Any input would be appreciated

 

 

Thank you

Request Catalog Item with Provisioning request Not working after upgrade

$

I had used the workflow "Request a Catalog Item with Provisioning Request" workflow to create a workflow to be executed through a REST call with with vRealize 7 and vRO 7.  Everything was working before, I could request on behalf of a user in different Business Groups and it would use the right entitlement for the user that was inserted in the on behalf of.  Of course it would show as being submitted by the service account I used to connect vRO with vRA through the plugin.  Now after upgrading to 7.0.1 for all components this workflow is not working properly anymore.  If the service account I was using is entitled to Blueprints in more then 1 business group at a time then it fails.  Troubleshooting narrowed it down to that the service account would have to have permissions in the BG that user you are requesting on behalf of is part of but no others.  This is not how it should be. Any ideas?
