Re: VSAN cache tier help needed for two node cluster

Hello,

 

 

Your proposed set-up looks okay, the disks you mentioned are all on HCL and more specifically they are certified for the purposes you intend to use them (All-Flash capacity-tier and All-Flash caching-tier respectively) .

More RAM is always better but whether you need it depends on the VMs in use here.

 

You have one issue and one potential issue here:

No controllers! You will need one of these on each host to manage IO to the disk-groups.

And the potential issue is connecting the Witness to each data-node, you will need a switch, not sure if you implied that but thought would mention it.

 

Here are some resources relating to this implementation that you might find useful:

Re: Changing a Virtual Machine's name

I rename the files all the time without issue.  Have to do both though - change it in the library as well as on disk.

Are you saying that if I have, for example, a Mac OS 10.7 VM and I upgrade it to 10.8, I can change the VM's file name in Finder to Mac OS 10.8 without worrying about the 20 or so .vmdk files and other files inside it continuing to say 10.7 (or do they change automatically, and if so, is that at first launch or some other time)?

Server core OS installations are not supported. Horizon Connection Server 7.1 requires "Server with Desktop Experience" versions of:

 

  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2016

Welcome to the Community,

 

yes, to both questions.

You can use whichever image you want (VMware, or a vender OEM image). The vendor images usually contain additional drivers and/or tools which support their hardware. In fact, for some hardware models you even need to use the vendor's OEM image to make ESXi work.

It's up to you whether you are going to use vCenter Server. You can manage the host separately, if you don't want/need the features which come with vCenter Server.

make sure each component (switch and NIC) is set to 9000, if any component is set to 1500 you will get a flag.

I can't check all vmx files, however they are in the proper datastore. I'm able to retrieve all the datastores and trace the vmx files using the path. It's accurate.

Yeah, being a newbie at VMware I didn't realize what I'd done. So, to cut this short, I couldn't wait for an answer so I deleted the VM and all files related. I'm starting from scratch which is not a big deal. I did migrate properly, and that's when I saw what appeared to me to be using double the space, one in each store. I'll never know, or I'm just missing something, but I've move on. Thanks for responding.

vRO permissions - hardening RBAC, Security

June 22, 2017, 12:34 pm
$

Prerequisites:

1. vCenter Server instance is added in vRO using an administrator user account with full privileges (using the "Share a unique session" option while adding vCenter Server instance) on vCenter Server and full permissions in vRO.

2. The "vmuser" has fewer privileges e.g. the default "Virtual machine user (sample)” role on the vCenter Server and View, Inspect, Execute permissions in vRO.

 

Scenario:

The “vmuser” executes the vCenter Server workflow “Create simple virtual machine”.

The workflow execution completes successfully creating the specified virtual machine. However, the operations are executed in the context of the service account i.e. the administrator user account with full privileges used for adding the vCenter Server in vRO. Note that the “vmuser” has no permission to create a virtual machine and with execute permission in vRO the restricted user created a virtual machine.

 

Also observed that the Initiator reported in the Recent Tasks vs. More Tasks in vSphere Web Client are different.

 

vROCreateVM.png

 

What options are available if I want to execute the vRO workflow/operations in the context of the “vmuser” – the user that initiated the vRO Workflow instead of the service account used for adding the vCenter Server in vRO?

 

Appreciate your thoughts, suggestions, comments on this.

 

I think of few options:

1. Plug-in for vRO with Custom Workflows

2. Leverage vRO REST API retrieving vRO user, workflow/operation details and check against the vCenter Server privileges for the vRO user for allowing/disallowing the vRO workflow/operation.

Upgrade Vcenter 5.5 to 6.5 with View composer as well

Needing to upgrade a Vcenter 5.5 (installed on Windows Server) to 6.5.  I would like to just upgrade the Vcenter in place.  That part seems easy.  This also has VMware View tied to it.  Will this break?  I have several 5.5 hosts that we are also migrating away from.  I 3 new hosts with 6.5 installed, but as you know my current Vcenter will not manage them until the upgrade.  Can I upgrade to 6.5 manage current 5.5 and 6.5 hosts, do the migration and then down the old hosts?

Weird Get-TagAssignment bug

June 22, 2017, 12:34 pm

I've got two VCSAs at 6.5 build 5705665. When I run the following, I get the error noted below:

 

Commads:

Connect-VIServer vcsa1.blah.local

Connect-VIServer vcsa2.blah.local

$VCTags = Get-TagAssignment -Server vcsa1.blah.local

 

Output:

Name                           Port  User

vcsa1.blah.local  443   BLAH\user           

vcsa2.blah.local  443   BLAH\user           

Get-TagAssignment : 6/22/2017 1:55:51 PM Get-TagAssignment Sequence contains more than one matching element

At line:4 char:12

+ $VCBTags = Get-TagAssignment -Server vcsa1.blah.local

+            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-TagAssignment], CisException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Service.Tagging.Cis.TaggingServiceCisImpl.GetTagAssignment.Error,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.C

   ommands.Tagging.GetTagAssignment

 

 

I can disconnect from vcsa2 and run the Get-TagAssignment cmdlet successfully against vcsa1. The error only occurs when simultaneously connected to these two servers. I have one other 6.5 build 5705665 VCSA and any combination with it and the other two doesn't result in the error. I also have some 5.5 vCenters on Windows and can't reproduce the error with any combination of those and 6.5 servers.

 

I've reproduced from Windows Server 2012 R2 (PowerShell 4.0, PowerCLI 6.5R1) and Windows Server 2016 (PowerShell 5.1, PowerCLI 6.5.1).

 

Can anyone else reproduce this?

Re: Where can I download Workstation 8 to run RH7.2 Enigma

Hi,

 

While you could try and install Workstation 8, perhaps just changing the virtual hardware of your old RH7.2 VM to an older compatibility level helps?

The virtual hardware might just contain parts that are too new for RH7.2 to be recognized. We're talking about an OS from 2001 after all.

 

Try virtual hardware version 6 or 7.

 

FWIW, on Workstation 12 you can change the virtual hardware version with the virtual machine shut down (not suspended) via:

- Right click on the VM in the library

- Manage -> Change Hardware compatibility

- You'll get a wizard

- Next

- From the drop down select "Workstation 6.5 - 7.x"

- Next

- Clone if you want to preserve the original VM, alter if you're OK with changing the VM itself

- Next

- Close

 

Try again.

Hello Adiel/Danko,

 

 

Quite puzzling that 'esxcli storage core path list' lists the devices, possibly the devices are disconnecting/detaching during boot?

Can you attach the boot log located here /var/log/boot.gz ?

 

Please check if these paths are active via the Web Client:

Host > Configure > Storage Adapters > Select the vSAN controller > Paths

 

 

Bob

Has anyone come up with a good solution for this?  The KB articles referenced did not help.  It seems like a complete waste of time to have to restart servers until you get them up in the correct order.  There has to be something that can be scripted differently.

I added some debugging lines in the 2nd part of the script (attached).

What does this show (i don't need all the output, just some representative loops through the 2nd part of the script).
