I have found information all around the web for the "View Composer DiskFault: Disk customization failed due to an internal error" problem; however, they all say it is corrected in 6.2.  I am getting this problem in 7.0, any ideas? 

I had it working in a small isolated setup a couple of weeks ago, including a dedicated AD; however this week I am trying to integrate the Composer and the Connection servers into a larger environment, including a very structured AD and fighting this problem.  My thought is possibly a permissions problem, but I've set up the permissions as outlined in the Installation guide.

Thanks

Hi I have a script that modifies the email address used by existing alarm definitions. It doesn't modify the alarmAction and alarmActionTrigger, just the email address

The script does this:

-Get the alarm definition

-Copies the existing alarmTriggerAction to a variable

-Deletes the current alarmAction

-Creates a new alarmAction

-Creates a new alarmActionTrigger using the properties of the deleted alarmAction

Works as it should, except that it is never able to set the properties for YELLOW-->RED on any alarm definition. Am I missing something?

Verified that the values I'm passing to the New-AlarmActionTrigger are the correct objectType. Even cast them manually to [InventoryItemStatus]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#$alarms = Get-AlarmDefinition | ? {($_ | Get-AlarmAction).ActionType -eq "SendEmail"}

$alarms | foreach {

$trigAction  = ($_ | get-alarmAction).trigger

#$trigAction.repeat

#$_ | get-alarmAction | remove-alarmAction -Confirm:$FALSE

"Alarm Action: $($_ | get-alarmAction)"

"Alarm Action Trigger: $(($_ | get-alarmAction | get-alarmActionTrigger))"

$_ | New-AlarmAction -Email -To "myemail@mycompany.com" |

foreach {

        sleep 2

  $alarmAction = $_

  $trigAction | foreach {

  $keepgoing = $_.repeat

            #$start = ([VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Inventory.InventoryItemStatus]($_.StartStatus))

            #$end = ([VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Inventory.InventoryItemStatus]($_.EndStatus))

            "StartStatus : $($_.startStatus)"

            "StartStatus ObjectType: $(($_.startStatus).gettype().name)"

            ""

            "EndStatus : $($_.EndStatus)"

            "EndStatus ObjectType : $(($_.EndStatus).gettype().name)"

            ""

  IF ($keepgoing)

  {

     New-AlarmActionTrigger -alarmAction $alarmAction -StartStatus $_.StartStatus -endStatus $_.EndStatus -Repeat -ErrorAction Continue

            }

  New-AlarmActionTrigger -alarmAction $alarmAction -StartStatus $_.StartStatus -endStatus $_.EndStatus -ErrorAction Continue

  }

  }

}

Thanks a lot!

I ask myself if using 4Kn HDD inside a NAS through iSCSI (Synology DSxx15+) has the same restriction (unsupported) as using 4Kn drives as for local storage?

Support statement for 512e and 4K Native drives for VMware vSphere and VSAN (2091600) | VMware KB

I am not 100% sure but I guess iSCSI has the same restriction (blockbased access encapsulated into TCP protocol)...?

We have for a long time tried to get Vmmark to work, now we are almost there, and wish to get the TILE SCORE file

But this is saying:

!Warning OlioWeb0.wrf Not All Olio metrics found in this sample , make sure you are using the latest jar files

.

Any suggestions?

all services are failed on the working setup , any idea ?

Do I still need RDM for 2012 R2 clustering or can they be vmdk?

any idea how to set the snmp engineid on a host?

$esxcli.system.snmp.set ?

Recently I got burned when editing the uplink names of my Storage (NFS) Distributed vSwitch from dvUplink1 to a more meaningful name. Something which I assumed to be a rather harmless change caused all of my NFS datastores to become unknown / inaccessible and a 2.5 hour outage of my site. To resolve this issue I had to go host by host moving 1 vmnic and the NFS vmkernel IP address over to a standard vswitch. Once I did that all of my datastores on the host were reconnected.

vmware support highlighted my situation as reason for why they do not recommend customers putting vmkernel traffic on distributed virtual switches. They explained to me that the vmkernel port was bound to the dvuplink name either dvuplink1 or dvuplink2 as the reasoning behind what had happened.

So I wanted to get the opinion of some others here in the communities as to whether you keep your storage vmkernel traffic on standard or distributed vswitches and whether anyone else has had a similar experience to my own. Thank you.

I am having an issue getting a USB or even a serial PINpad device to work on a view 6.0.0 client desktop running Windows 7 SP1. Windows device manager sees the device, drivers are installed, VMware tools are installed, View client is installed. I get this whether I use a thick or zero client terminal (Dell Wyse). The PCoIP is set to allow all USB devices and the client sees and passes the device to the desktop. When I use the vCenter (5.5.0) console to connect to the desktop and then connect the PINpad it works fine. Am I missing a VMware driver, does the VMware console pass USB devices differently then the View client?

I forgot to add that device manager gives a error code 10 "This device cannot start" on the view clients but the VMware console works fine.

Hi,

I am trying to set up a lab using windows server 2012 r2 and Hyper-v. I installed server 2012 on Host server. I am doing virtualization with Hyper-V which is installed on my Host server.

  I createded one VM, and installed windows server 2012 r2 on it. I want to install AD and DNS and DHCP on this VM.

I want to join my other VMS to this domain, and also other VMs get their IP from this DHCP server.

  On my Host server ( Hyper-V), I have bellow network connections:

1- Ethernet  Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection( I am not using cable )

2-Another network connection Wi-Fi which is enable , and has Internet Access. (shared with my Virtual WLAN)

3- vEthernet(Inter 82579LM Virtual switch- Unidentified network which is enable

4- vEthernet(Virtual WLAN). I created it to use my Host’s WiFi in my VM (windows server 2012 r2)

On VM windows server 2012 ( I want to install AD,DNS, DHCP on it ),I installed Legacy Network Adaptor Virtual WLAN to connect to wifi Internet. On this server I have 2 network connections:

1-Ethernet Unidentified network Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adaptor – enable- IP:169.254.x.x- Dynamic

2-Ethernet 2 Intel 21140-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor(Emulated) for Internet connection – IP dynamic : 192.169.137.x - Dynamic

Everything works good, till here.

--------------------------------

Now my question is , To install AD, and DNS server on my VM with Windows server 2012 , first I have to give static IP address to Ethernet.Which one should I use? Ehernet or Ethernet 2?

By default Ethernet 2 , has dynamic IP address and when I change to static IP address , it become disable then I cannot connect to the Internet. Probably I am doing something wrong.

In “use the following IP Address” -> IP Address , and “use the following DNS Server address” -> Preferred DNS Server, should I put same IP address? Or should I put 127.0.0.1 in preferred DNS server?

I tried several times, but unsuccessful,Please give me some advise.

Thanks,

Melina

PowerCLI 6.0 Release 3

VCSA 5.5.0.30100 Build 3154314

Command:

Get-Stat-Entity "cluster name" -start (get-date).AddDays(-30) -Finish (Get-Date)-MaxSamples10000-statcpu.usage.average-IntervalMins120

Error:

I can run the same command with the entity being a VM host and that works fine.  I can also run this command against another Windows vcenter and cluster and it works fine.  Wondering what might be wrong with this vcenter/cluster.  I have two clusters in this vcenter and they both get this error.  Any ideas?  Thanks

Al realizar la instalación del vcenter 6.0, aunque la heces en inglés, el interfaz aparece encastellano. Hay posibilidad de cambiar el idioma al inglés? Sucede los mismo con el cliente de vsphere client 6.0 que aunque lo instales en inglés luego te aparece en castellano. Puede ser que detecta el idioma del sistema operativo y por ello te lo de ja en castellano?

Saludos,

I want to build a NEW vCenter server and consolidate 3 existing vCenters into this NEW vCenter. Can I just disconnect the hosts from their OLD vCenter and add it to the NEW vCenter? Can I leave the VMs running on those hosts while I do this?

Hi All,

I am just trying NSX 6.2.3 for managing vShield Endpoint and i am facing an issue. I deployed Guest Introspection service as usual and after that i am trying to deploy third-party services, but it gave me an error like this below :

I haven't seen this error before, if i saw in "Service Definition", VMware Network Fabric is something related with NSX vSwitch, but how can i install NSX vSwitch since this is unlicensed NSX (in Installation menu, we can't install anything anymore). I want to use NSX Manager to managing vShield Endpoint for Agentless Anti-Malware only.

Thanks alot

It is stated that when a VM moves from one host to another, both the rules table and the connection table for DFW move with it. However, if the "Applied To" field is set to Distributed Firewall, then the rule table isn't really moving with the VM, right? Since the rules are already configured on every host. Therefore it will only be the Connection table that movies with the VM. Is my understanding correct?

Also, what happens when a VM moves to another host but the Applied To field doesn't cover that host? In other words, rule is Applied To ESXi 1 & ESXi 2, but the VM moves to ESXi 3. In that case, I am assuming the Applied To field will have to be updated in order to have the correct rules applied on the ESXi 3?

Thanks!!

I noticed one of my virtual machines had two datastores listed under "Related Objects" in the vSphere Client.

After some digging around, I found the virtual machine files are in the correct data store but the "VM Config File" and "VM Working Location" are in another data store.

Can I consolidate all to the same data store?   I prefer to have the config and working location to be on my main storage which has plenty of space.  For some reason the Config File and Working Location were created on a local storage on my host.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hello all,

I'm looking for the graceful restart of the vRO services and its dependencies. Any thoughts around this is highly appreciated.

Is there a way to specify a SFTP location? I tried to provide SFTP but it only accepts FTP/http/https

Any advise is appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm running ESXi6 update 02 on a 250GB SSD as main data store.

On the side I created a second datastore of 120 GB to add in its entirety as a secondary HDD to a VM.

Here is my basic setup:

VM1: 100 GB

VM2: 60 GB

VM3: 25 GB

VM4: 25 GB

26GB ish free. Disks are fully provisioned, eager zeroing.

All VM's have run successfully for extended periods of time.

What happened twice now is the following, in two different scenarios:

When editing a VM (like changing some memory or boot setting) I get the following error:

"The disk capacity specified is greater than the amount available in the datastore". This happens both in the web UI and in the vSphere client.

Looking at the HDD page in the VM properties it shows the HDD size I originally picked, 100GB for VM1 and 60GB for VM2, but below the box where you enter their size it says "Max 26ish GB" - the amount of free space in the datastore.

So for whatever reason ESXi6 isn't considering that these disks are existing ones, and the "free space" check should not be performed, it should just realize these are previously created HDDs and boot.

This is a hard stop and you cannot make any other configuration changes while that message happens.

I've gotten past it by flipping configuration pages and swapping between vSphere and UI a few times and the machines booted again, but I fully expect to be hit with it again next time I have to take the Vm's down.

The other VM's with 25GB HDD's boot just fine because the free space on the datastore is slightly bigger than the 25GB of their disks so the check is passed.

I got the same error when I added datastore 2 to a VM as dedicated disk (one of the VM's with 25GB from datastore 1 as HDD1). I simply made Datastore 2 on the second HDD, allocated it fully to Datastore 2 and then allocated the maximum, or close to the maximum, of the available space to a HDD2 on one of the VM's. The exact same error would happen - it would check free space on datastore 2 and say that the 120GB or so was way bigger than the free space on the datastore, due to the same symptom as above (it checking against free space erroneously).

Has anyone experienced this before?

Many thanks

Ruben

I want restrict a user to be a vapp author of a specific vDC within an organization.   How can that be accomplished?   I have searched all over.  All the users show up under users in the administration tab for the whole organization but I don't see how to assign a user to only see the Finance vDC for example.  Whenever I create new user within the organization and log in as that user and create a vm the vm is created in the test dev vDC not the finance vDC.
