Re: alert from host

The VIM Event is:

com.vmware.vc.cim.CIMGroupHealthStateChanged

 

This event occurs when the hardware' IPMI subsystem has reported some issue which is then

sent via SFCBD to VWS process in vCenter and sent out as an SNMP trap in you case.

Determine the ESX system in question then use  your GUI to visit VC's Inventory to find

that ESX System and click on the hardware health tab.

 

Alternately use your Hardware vendor's GUI/element mgmt system to review your system's

hardware health state.

 

The SNMP Trap is defined in VMWARE-VC-EVENTS-MIB, that can be obtained

from: the zip file at :http://communities.vmware.com/community/developer/forums/managementapi

 

Here's a dump of the oids to name

Re: ESXI install hung

This just gets more and more confusing.  So.... What are my options?  Do I re-install windows server 2012 (which hopefully overwrites or removes the ESXi) and then partition the drive after the windows server 2012 install completes and THEN try the ESXi install again on the partitioned drive that does not have the windows OS installed on it?

Any idea ?

Hi

I have 3 in 5.1 in vcenter linked mode, one of the three component is installed on the same xed and always the webclient. When I try not login via web I get the error:

Client is not authenticated to VMware Inventory Service - https://xxxxxxxx:10443

 


And I can not see any web vcenter, while the client vsphere  everything is working properly

Re: Losing proxy setting continuosly

There are a couple ways Protect uses a proxy.  It is defined in the Tools > Options > Proxy, and also from what it finds by defualt in the Windows internet options in the control panel.  If the values defined in the Internet Options are not retaining, there very well could be a Group Policy that is keeping the existing values in place.  I would validate with your system administrator that a GPO is not in control of the Internet Options, and also set the Proxy information in the Protect application directly.

 

Please let us know if you need additional assistance by creating a support request.

 

Thank you.

Add new portgroup to entire Cluster

$

Hello,

 

Currently, I have the powercli script to add a new portgroup to an existing switch on one host.  I'm looking to see how to do this on an entire cluster given that the vSwitch I want to add it to is the same vSwitch across all hosts.

 

Get-VMHost -Name ESXI01 | Get-VirtualSwitch -Name vSwitch1 | New-VirtualPortGroup -Name PG400 -VLanId 697

 

This command works but instead of doing it one host at a time, what is the proper syntax to apply to entire cluster?

Re: .vmdk size doesn't match Disk size setting in Settings

I'm okay with a dynamically growing disk... the problem is; it's not growing!

 

The disk itself is nowhere near full.

 

diskspace.png

Just for giggles, I tried to check the "Pre-allocate disk space" and let it spin for a good 4 hours; I finally had to force-quit VMWare Fusion and when I re-opened the VM, it's still got the same problem. (Out of disk space) Although the .vmwarevm package got a lot bigger, the .vmdk did not grow. There is, however a .vmdk-converttmp file that's 218 GB now... it looks like Fusion couldn't finish the pre-allocate step.

 

Any ideas? I think I'll try the "Pre-allocate..." step again and let it run all night.

What's your goal? Do you just want to install ESXi to test drive it?

Usually ESXi is installed natively and other operating system are installed as guest's in ESXi.

I am trying to use vSphere PowerCLI to create new permissions in my vCenter.

 

I am running the following command

 

New-VIPermission -Entity (Get-Folder folder1) -Role (Get-VIRole PowerMan) -Principal "Domain\GroupName"

 

I get the Following result

I think it is because MY AD has more than 5000 Objects which is what the ADS.maxFetch setting in My vCenter is set to.  I can't even use get-viaccount -domain -group -name "Name" to return the AD Object i want to add.

 

Is there anyway to do this without changing the value of ADS.maxFetch.  My ad has 30,000 users and groups.

Re: Dell Wyse P25 Zero client

You cannot. The P25 runs a RTOS based on Thread-X its compiled into a firmware load that's loaded directly to the client or though the client management software from Teradici. It's built and developed to run on the propritary chip design in the client.

 

Now, if you wanted to pull together a bunch of dev tools, build your on RTOS version of Linux port any missing hardware drivers to the hardware platform etc. create you own bootloader tools etc., etc. etc. technically anything is possible.

Re: Upgrade to vCenter 5.1 update 1 SSO failing

Well - it seems like the MASTER password is not working.  Before this thread I did not know the MASTER password and the admin@system-domain password could potentially be different. So for previous upgrades thinking they were the same I don't understand how I could have ever upgraded from 5.1 to 5.1a to 5.1b if I didn't type in the correct password.  They should be the same but evidently somehow the master password all of a sudden is not what I know it to be?

VMware tightly controls the quality if their authorized training centers - so as long as it is a VMware Authorized Training Center (VATC) your should receive quality traiining. If you are wanting to attend a class I would base the provided on convenience of access - if you are looking for an online experience I would look at Global Training, HP or direct from VMware.

 

The other issue is if you wish to get your VCP then you will need to attend an authorized class which can be found here - http://mylearn.vmware.com/portals/www/search/findcourse.cfm?ui=www

Re: ESXI install hung

I guess my goal is to try and virtualize a server using ESXi 5.1.  If I'm saying that right?  So if I have a server, lets call it server 1, I want that piece of hardware to be the host.  Does it need to have a windows OS running and then have ESXi installed on it, along with the vSphere client?  And then is the vSphere client used to create other virtual machines within ESXi?  How confusing did that sound?  

 

Maybe if you could just give me the order in which things should be installed it might easier.

 

Thanks,

 

Neil

I have 4 pnics.  I'm looking to use 2 for management, vmotion, ft and 2 for production traffic.

 

You will be using FT? That feature is very sensitive to having undisturbed network traffic. If you will be using FT (and not only ordinary HA) then you might want to have FT on one adapter and share management and vMotion on another.  Then the other two for VM traffic.

Sorry - actually will not be using FT

 

TheVMinator wrote:

 

Should I use any kind of link aggregation?

 

Yes, in the sense that it is the only setup that gives you redundancy. However, you will most likely want to use the Port ID NIC Teaming policy, which takes no physical switch aggregation setup.

 

OK thanks

 

Should I set up my uplinks in active / standby configuration?

 

Yes, that should be a good idea on your non-VM vSwitch.

 

So my 2 management NICS will be active / standby, and my two production nics will be active / active?  How many vswitches should I use?  (Using all standard switches)

Did you already try something like this ?
