VMWare Fusion 8 OpenGL 3.3 Support - Only getting 3.0

December 3, 2015, 6:10 am

I just purchased and install VMWare Fusion 8 on my Macbook Pro Retina running Yosemite 10.10.5.

I have a Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Boot Camp partition that I am running as a VM in Mac OS.

All the Fusion 8 product pages state that it supports OpenGL 3.3, but when I try to run a custom .Net application that uses OpenGL 3.3 graphics calls, I get the following lines in my program's log file:

 

08:55:27.471 [1] INFO  - OpenGL Version is 3.0 Mesa 10.6.0 (git-beb7765)

System.Exception: Compile failure in Tiles.vert - 0:1(10): error: GLSL 3.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.00 ES, and 3.00 ES

 

I installed the VMWare Tools today, so I believe they are up to date.

 

Do I need to update the VMWare graphics drivers or configure them somehow to enable the OpenGL 3.3 support?

 

Thanks!

Removed vCenter node still in System Configuration after removal

I switched my primary vCenter server from a Windows box to the Linux appliance. Everything got moved without issue, so then I ran the recommended cmsso-util unregister command pointed to the old server to be decommissioned, as mentioned here: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2106736

 

The old vCenter server was successfully removed from the list in vCenter Server Inventory, but when I go to Administration -> System Configuration -> Nodes, the old server is still listed as a node there. How can I remove it?

 

Also, when I go to Administration -> Users and Groups -> Users, when I look at the list of domains, I still see the old vCenter's Windows hostname listed there.

 

Thanks for any help.

AppVolumes 3.0: RDS AppStacks broken?

April 7, 2016, 5:52 am

Has anyone had any luck getting an appstack to work with RDS? I'm having nothing but difficulty at the moment, having tried multiple different ways.

 

- Assign an appstack directly to a user.

 

This results in the following log entry:

 

"Culling assigned AppStacks for "User <DOMAIN\test.user>" because "Computer <DOMAIN\APPVOLTESTRDS1$>" is a terminal server"

 

This doesn't surprise me as in previous versions, appstacks for RDS were assigned directly to the machine; however, I can't find that option in the new console.

 

- Assign to an AD group containing users.

 

Same as previous!

 

- Assign directly to a computer using the old GUI.

 

No impact at all.

 

- Assign to an AD group containing computers.

 

This results in the appstack showing as an attached disk in vsphere, but still no apps show on a users RDS desktop. The apps do not even show as installed in control panel.

 

Assuming this method is the correct way to assign appstacks to RDS, what does that mean for App Toggle? In my mind that rules out any sort of usefulness for AppToggle on RDS.

 

Have I missed something, or is this functionality just inherently broken? Struggling to find a reason to continue trying to use AV3 at this point.

Crashes on ESXi6.0 nested on to of ESXi5.5 after migration

We are seeing a number of crashes, either "#PF Exception 14"   or "Recursive Panics w/ VSCSI timeouts"  on the ESXi 6.0 hosts running in VMs in on 5.5 VMs (VM Version 9).

 

In 5 out of 5 cases I looked at, there was a VM migration slightly before the crash.    I'm guessing that the 6.0 host has short I/O timeouts for swapping, etc., and those are not met on migration.

 

Is there any way to reduce the frequency of these events?

 

Thanks

 

PS I've also observed these messages just before some of the crashes, and I couldn't find any references to this message anywhere.

I have one hp dl580g7 server with 2 FC hba connected to hp msa2040 directly. i installed VMware ESXi 6.0.0b on it and after one day it didn't response to ping and disconnected from vcenter. I could connect to it from esxi shell and it ping local ip address but cannot reach others like default gateway and other hosts. I reinstalled HP Custom Image for ESXi 6.0.0 GA Install CD but the problem reappeared and host disconnected on vcenter and became grayed out. here is my vmkernel log:

Application profiler ntdll.dll error

Hi,

 

I have an issue with the UEM Application Profiler 9.0 x64.

When profiling an application, and it happens with every app i profile, the following happens:

(for example i used snippingtool.exe)

 

When application profiling is finished, i close the application. As soon as i close the app, an error occurs.

I'm getting an APPCRASH error:

 

SnippingTool.exe

   6.1.7600.16385

   4a5bcb47

   ntdll.dll

   C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll

   cff9b86b-ffda-11e5-bcc9-0050568944a6

 

VM specs;

Clean Windows 7 x64 but with the latest windows updates.

VMWare UEM Application Profiler 9.x64

 

I'm allmost sure that a windows update is causing the error. Because when i profile an application on a machine without updates, the error doesn't occur.

 

Despite the error, the recorded profile can be used without any problems. (as far as i know)

 

Does anyone else also have this problem?

Or knows how to fix this.

 

Thank you.

VDP 6.1 on vSphere 6.0 web client fails to show status of recent tasks ( VICLIENT shows something completely different...actual information!!!)

April 11, 2016, 6:28 am
$

Hello,

Running vCenter 6.0 and VDP 6.1 and after launching a backup job ( through the vSphere web client) I can see the job start but only using the viclient's recent tasks ( it DOES NOT show any status or progress through the web client).  Now what makes this problem an issue is that one of the VM's I had in the backup job failed to create a shapshot.  The ONLY REASON I know this is because the viclient recent tasks showing the progress of the backup job alerted me to the issue.  Even after a refresh several times in the webclient there is not indication that the job was ever even run, completed, or FAILED under the Recent Tasks section.  Looking in the Alarms section of the web client also fails to show any indication that there was a failed snapshot on one of the backup jobs.  The only way to view the status was to look at the Tasks Console in the web client and there I could also see the job and failed backup but unless you are already looking for the failure you would never have known.

 

It is very concerning when VMware is pushing clients to use the web client more and the viclient less yet seems we keep losing functionality.  Has anyone else had this issue with VDP 6.1?  If so is there some fix to allow "RECENT TASKS" to actually show the same status in the web client and in the viclient ( They are both talking to the same vCenter so why dont they contain the same information????)  The exact builds I am using are the following

vCenter Server 6.0.0 build 3018524

VDP 6.1.1.19

ESXi 6.0.0 build 3620759

 

And before its suggested the run the VDP 6.1.2 ( latest version) I already tried that and that version had bigger issues freezing up and failing so the version I am using seemed to be more stable :-)

What metric to use for memory capacity planning? Active or Consumed (in vROPS Demand or Usage)

February 26, 2016, 3:42 am
$

Hey all,

 

I was once again wondering which metric to use for memory capacity planning. Since informations from different sources (e.g. Your ESXi Host needs more RAM from Iwan Rahabok or VMworld 2012: Session VSP1729 - Understanding Virtualized Memory Performance Management - Eric Sloof - NTPRO.NL from Kit Colbert) all pointing to Active (Demand in vROPS), I was expecting that when we have high memory consumption / usage in vCenter there will be no ballooning / compression / swapping.

 

Also the metric active/demand shouldnt be used for all workloads (e.g. Java / DB), why is that? I didnt find the reason for that anywhere, only the fact.

 

Other sources like Mark Achtemichuk suggest to use consumed/usage, thats the opposite (Understanding vSphere Active Memory - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs).

 

So I thought I go with active/demand as metric and ignoring the warnings inside vCenter.

 

But last time we patched the half of our cluster we had high consumed/usage of memory and the vCenter started to balloon, compress and finally swap. Not much but I wasnt expecting that, because active memory was only a small percentage of consumed.

 

Can someone explain me, why this happened and who is right regarding this questions.

 

Kind regards,

Hi

 

We have got quiet few VMware ESXi Servers running in our environment. The basic management of these servers are done using the VMware vSphere Client from Windows OS.

 

We have quiet few Administrators who uses Mac OS X 10.9 as their main Laptop and they also would like to administer the VMware Servers from Mac.

 

What is the best client software that we can use from a MAC book to manage the VMware ESXi servers?

 

Looking forward for some assistance from the community.

Instant Clone VM wants a reboot after logon

Hi everybody,

 

I'm currently playing with Horizon View 7 and the newly introduced instant clone feature. I have a small pool with a Windows 7 Enterprise parent VM. I observed, that the instant clone VMs want a reboot after the logon.

 

2016-04-11 08_26_04-VDI - Windows 7 Enterprise.png

I can ignore this. After logoff, the VM is deleted and a new, fresh VM is instantly cloned (that's the pool setting "Delete or refresh machine on logoff: Delete Immediately"). The new VM shows the same behaviour. The parent VM doesn't show this behaviour.

 

Any hints?

Auto Deploy HA/FDM issue.

I'm working on vSphere ESXi 6 update 2. I'm able to get Auto Deploy to work properly in testing as far as getting ESXI hosts to boot and even grab the host profile, but when the host tries to join the cluster and install the HA agent, I'm running into errors.

 

I get the error "Cannot Complete the configuration of the vSphere HA agent on the host. No datastores configured on this host" Now, I'm using Auto Deploy because I want to go diskless as far as each ESXI host is concerned. Can anyone give me a point in the right direction, as far as why everything appears to be deploying properly except the HA agent?

 

I've imported the offline zip file to the software depot, then I added in the FDM agent from the vCenter software depot. The host profile "System Image Cache Profile Settings" is also null, so from my understanding, nothing should be attempting to install to a local disk.

 

Any ideas?

I've tagged multiple VM's in Vcenter and have made a custom group within VRoPs.

 

I'd now like to have a dashboard with a sparkline or metric graph showing memory and cpu usage per service (group of VM's) in a service/custom group list mode.

 

The idea being I want to quickly see in one dashboard the load per service and see if any service is running near capacity i.e a DOS attack or debugging being left on after a change etc etc

vRA 7.0.1 Request a Catalog Item vRO Workflow 400 BAD_REQUEST

Has anyone gotten this working?

 

When i attempt to submit the workflow against an IaaS Blueprint that has just one vSphere machine element the following entries cause a 400 BAD_REQUEST error:

  • provider-VirtualMachine.Memory.Size
  • provider-VirtualMachine.CPU.Count

 

I have tried populating the values for these properties several ways, all of them result in the same 400 BAD_REQUEST error:


inputs.put("provider-VirtualMachine.Memory.Size", "1024"); //STRING
inputs.put("provider-VirtualMachine.Memory.Size", 1024); //NUMBER
inputs.put("provider-VirtualMachine.Memory.Size", new vCACCAFEIntegerLiteral(1024).getValue()); //INT
inputs.put("provider-VirtualMachine.Memory.Size", new vCACCAFEDecimalLiteral(1024).getValue()); //DEC

 

If i leave those two properties out the process works and just get created with 1 vCPU and 1024MB of memory.

 

This process works fine in my 6.2 environments.

After reinstalling VCSA6 again, I lost all of my cluster settings but can see my switches, etc when using the vc client logging into each ESX in my cluster.. Is there any way possible to import all of my original configurations that are residing on the esx hosts back into VCSA?? I would really had to recreate everything again...

Get-VM: VM with name 'xyz' was not found using the specified filter(s).

Good afternoon everyone!

I have a script that reads a csv with several hostnames, connects to vCenter and should get the hostname information, ip and PortGroup to generate a CSV external file.
It happens that many cases vm does not exist in vCenter and returns me the error below:

 

get-vm : 07/04/2016 14:41:58Get-VM    VM with name 'pxl1sso00008' was not found using the specified filter(s).

+ CategoryInfo      : ObjectNotFound: (:) [Get-VM], VimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_OutputHelper_WriteNotFoundError,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.GetVM



How would I do to get the information from an input file, see the vCenter and if this positive results write the file ignoring errors. Ideally, if not find the machine, just create a line in the output file with only the hostname with the rest blank.

Follow .ps1 file:



$vmlist = Get-Content C:\vmnames.csv

Now when i start the converting i get an error which states that there is insufficient space on the source machine. Is there any way how i can accomplish the task? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
