VMMark starting error

$

0

I went to start the VMMark test for the first time yesterday.  Since this is my first time running VMMark I was just running a single tile from the prime client.  When I kicked it off I got the error below.  I tried both a 64 bit and 32 bit JRE, but got the same error.  The prime client is running Windows 2008 R2 64 bit. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm testing View planner and got numerous problem.

Most of them are solved in this community, still I have a problem.

 

When I run test (remote mode), workload got succeed. And log didn't displayed any error message.

 

But Qos, Perf Stats, PDF report didn't show any data.

QoS said "No data available"

Perf Stats said "Table has no colums"

PDF report said "Error. No View Planner report is generated by the reporting script (report.pyc)" in View planner Score, "Error. CSV file was not generated by report.csv" in Application Response Time, didn't show any message in Resource Usage.

 

I checked IP.txt, firewall setting, network test via clientVM-desktopVM-Viewplanner-CS.

And when I browse to ViewPlanner appliance via SSh, to /root/Viewplanner/vpresult/[testname]/[time],

there didn't exist any csv or dat file.

 

what should I do to resolve it?

 

I use it Viewplanner 3.0.1 with vSphere 5.5.

I'm trying to create custom groups in vROps 6.1 using vSphere tags. I've had tags configured for a few days now but when I try to set up a custom group no tags are showing. When I "Click to load more" nothing else loads. I assume I'm missing some sort of connection somewhere? Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I am running a bootcamp partition under VMWare Fusion 8.1 and I've recently noticed that I am unable to format any external USB devices.  This goes for USB keys as well as external hard disks.  I'm running a mid-2014 Macbook Pro retina 15".

 

I've tried booting into bootcamp but unfortunately Im having another problem there.  It won't boot up.  In fact I first noticed the problem while trying to build a recovery disk to try and fix the bootcamp booting.

 

Any help would be hugely appreciated as this is extremely annoying

Accessing ESXi from Another server 2012 R2 VM

Hello, I am relatively new to the hypervisor installation and configuration. Last night I successfully installed the Hypervisor on my VMWare workstation with 40GB of disk space and 4 GB of RAM. However, I believe i made an error during the configuration of network. As was said in over 10 tutorials, always set a static IP to the ESXi. So I followed the instructions and set static IP of 192.168.1.2 , subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 192.168.1.1. This is the point where i think something went wrong. Now when i try to access host via the IP address set, through internet explorer of another Server 2012 R2 machine, it just fails to connect. Can somebody please help me out as to what am I doing wrong here. Or is it that internet connectivity is must to access the host?

Workstation 12 Pro: Experiencing problem virtual printing to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5

$

Hi,

 

I recently upgraded from Workstation 10 to Workstation 12 Pro.

 

I've downgraded from v12.1.0 to v12.0.1 due to the NATing problem, but have experienced this virtual printing issue with both versions of Workstation 12 Pro.

 

Basically, when printing from within a virtual machine to Adobe Acrobat v9.5.5.316 (in the host) the virtual printing engine seems to be adding 3 to the code-point/ASCII value of every character.

 

For example "Hello World" within a document becomes "Khoor#Zruog" in the resultant PDF.

 

Furthermore, no matter what font is used within the virtual machine, it appears to be changed to Courier in the resultant PDF.

 

This did not occur in v6.x, v7.x, v9.x or v10.x of Workstation (I didn't have v8), but appears to be broken now.

 

I point out that if I print to an actual printer (tested with Xerox and HP laser printers), it is behaving. It also behaves when printing to the host's Microsoft XPS Document Writer. The problem seems localized to between Workstation 12 Pro and Adobe Acrobat.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

 

Is this a known defect in the Workstation 12 Pro?

 

Is there any setting I need to change to make this behave like it used to in prior versions of Workstation?

 

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

Regards,

Hi there,

 

I'm renting vCloud space via service provider. I'm running some disaster recovery services and have a need to change resources for some VMs inside my rented vDC.

I would like to automate procedure to shut down particulare VM, give it more resources - RAM, CPU and power it on again. I will also do reverse when needed.

 

I'm not sure wheter this can be done via some script, remember, I'm not vcloud director administrator...just user with administrative permissions for my organization.

 

Thanks, Matjaz

Consumed memory un enigma!

$

In ambiente ESXi 5.5 noto,selezionando una VM, il parametro host consumed memory che vorrei ben interpretare ma dalla documentazione ci sono cose che mi sono poco chiare.

Dovrebbe rappresentare la memoria dell'host che è stata allocata per la VM cioè tutta quella "toccata" ma mi chiedo:

  1. è comprensiva dell'overhead?
  2. quando accendo la VM vedo un picco quasi al max della ram, significa che il guest os "tocca" tutta la memoria in questa fase?
  3. Leggo che ESXi alloca memoria per il guest (intercettando le richieste di allocazione) ma non è a conoscenza di quando la rilascia, quindi mi chiedo nel grafico di consumed memory, se la vm è sempre accesa, perché ci sono decrescenze? Mi aspetterei un grafico crescente ma non viceversa a meno che la VM venga riavviata. Se il grafico scende significa che c'e' liberazione di memoria ma come si spiega (parlo ovviamente da vm accesa)?
  4. in altri casi vedo spesso la consumed memory sempre al max e rappresentata come linea retta, perché?!?

Добрый день, Может было, но не нашел как сделать поиск по форуму, интересует вопрос по SQL.

1. Какой нужно использовать collation для создания базы для vCenter 6.0 u1b

2. Нужен скрипт, который создает базу для vCenter 6.0 u1b и прочих плюшек, если они потребуются. Может есть гайд.

3. По матрице совместимости я могу использовать?

VMware vCenter Server 6.0 U1 база данных поддерживается на:

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Standard - 64-bit

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise - 64-bit

Windows Server 2012 R2

4. Может будут советы. Буду благодарен.

 

Спасибо.

save and close not prompting to increase version anymore

I don't know what I did or what I may have changed, but suddenly when I make a change to something in one of my workflows (modify a line in a script item for example), when I click save a close, vRO does exactly that, saves and closes, but that's not what I want.

 

Previously I would always get a prompt asking if I want to increase the version of the workflow or not. How do i get that behavior back? I can't figure out what I may have done to disable it.

 

I'm running vRO appliance 6.0.3

Workstation 12 Pro 3D Acceleration issue

$

Hi. I have an issue regarding 3D acceleration in a VMware Workstation Pro VM.

I have 2 different physical hosts in terms of hardware. They have identical builds, i.e. fresh install of Windows 7 Pro SP1 with VMWare Workstation 12.1 and VMWare Tools 10.0.5 build 3228253 installed.

 

One has a ATI FirePro 2450 GPU, the other a Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 GPU.

I have created identical Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 VMs on each, and enabled 3D acceleration in the VM settings for both.

 

Running DXDiag on the both hosts shows DirectX11 and WDDM 1.1

Yet if I run DxDiag on the VMs, 3D acceleration is stated as not available on the VM which has the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800 installed in its host.

 

My understanding was in Workstation, with the VMWare SVGA 3D graphics driver, any video rendering was via software & the VM CPU.  Is this incorrect?  Does the VM use the hosts GPU, as there is no pass through of hardware happening.  Does the ability for 3D acceleration still rely on the hosts GPU capabilities in my setup?

If so, is there a way of actually overcoming the issue I have when 3D is stated as not available in the VM, when within the host it is available.

 

Many thanks

Problemas Instalación y Configuración SRM 6.1 (Site Recovery Manager)

Hola,

 

A ver si podéis ayudarme con una instalacion del SRM y el vSphere Replication que estoy terminando.

 

ESCENARIO:

- Tengo instalado 2 Host (host1 y host2) versión 6 con 1 Datacenter (DT1 y DT2) cada uno. Además, en cada Datacenter tengo un vCenter 6 instalado (vCenter1 y vCenter2).

- El vCenter2 se encarga de gestionar todo el escenario indicado.

- Además tengo 2 vSphere Replication versión 6.1 (6.1.0.10819) en cada host.

- Por último, tengo 2 SRM versión 6.1 (6.1.0-3037005) instalados en cada uno de esos host.

 

PROBLEMA

Los vSphere Replication están funcionando correctamente, se comunican entre ellos (sólo estoy usando la replicación en una única dirección) y aparecen las réplicas en sus destinos. Sin embargo, el PROBLEMA es que tras instalar los SRM, no consigo que aparezca el plug-in del SRM.


PRUEBAS HECHAS

He mirado la documentación de instalación SRM de VMWare y aparentemente he seguido todos los pasos correctamente en ambos SRM´s. También he probado a reiniciar los servicios del vSphere Web Client varias veces e incluso he reiniciado todos los servicios desde la consola del vCenter.

 

He reinstalado los SRM´s un par de veces, pero sin éxito. No consigo que aparezca el Plug-in y por tanto no puedo terminar de configurarlo. Quería configurar el Site Pair.

 

Agradezco vuestra ayuda.

 

Saludos,

On VM opening : "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to" or "Transport (VMDB) error -32" / "-14"

Hello,

 

Since yesterday after a reboot of my host (E6410 DELL, W7 SP1 64 bits, 8GB RAM, 2x750GB SATA3 running WorkStation 9.0.2, up to date Windows Update), I cannot open any of my existing VM.

I often get "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to"  and sometime before : "Transport (VMDB) error -32: Pipe: Read failed" or "Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken"

 

I've been working for 2 years on this machine without a hitch, upgrading from WS7 to WS9 without any issue.

FYI : we have changed the domain 3 months ago, but this has never be a problem.

 

I've googled and search on several forum. So far I've tried to :

- restart vmware-auth service as admin

- launch vmware.exe as admin

- stop/start  vmx86 service

- uninstall / reboot / install Workstation.  3 times. First using control panel's uninstaller, then doing a /clean before install and finally hunting down any file/reg entry.

- asked IT if any change in group policy have been done recently (like not allowing to run vmware.exe ?!)

- rename vmware.exe (the logs I have look similars to what is in this post : http://communities.vmware.com/thread/331099?start=0&tstart=0  ... but no luck)

- excluded vmware.exe in my the AV (Microsoft ForeFront). Unfortunalely I'm not allowed to disabled it...

- open VM using the player ==> don't work either.

 

This is not a corrupted file in a VM (even backup -7zipped- are not working on my laptop ... but launch on another).

Even a newly created WM (without an OS), do not boot ! :-(

 

*BUT TO BE NOTICED* : if a VM is created as a shared VM, I can start it as remote localy ! And this same VM, if started (thru the.vmx) is not working using Workstation GUI !?

 

I've attached the 2 logs. The working one (vmware.log thru remote) and the non-working (vmware-vmx-4072.log thru WS GUI).

From what I seen (and the few I understand), it's like the CPU cannot be detected ?!

Both logs have this line :

FeatureCompat: EVC masks:

but the non-working goes-on with

Module CPUID initialization failed.

while the working display info on the CPU (hostCPUID name / family / type ...etc...)

 

Any idea is welcome.
