create guest capable of virtualization

April 11, 2016, 9:44 am
$

I have a guest VM that I've created in the vSphere Client (5.5), which has Ubuntu Linux 14.4 64-bit installed as the operating system.

 

I'm wondering if it is possible for that VM to host a hypervisor such as VirtualBox, which would then be capable of creating 64-bit VMs. (A 64-bit VM inside a 64-bit VM, basically.)

 

On the Ubuntu Linux VM, I have installed the latest version of VirtualBox (5.0.16 r105871), but when I attempt to create a new guest within VirtualBox, only 32-bit operating systems are listed in the available options.

 

I have seen some documentation suggesting that 64-bit guest VMs can only be created if there is hardware support for virtualization enabled (see "Known Issues" on this page: VirtualBox/Installation - Community Help Wiki) -- how can I enable this in the VM that was created in the vSphere Client?

 

I have tried messing with the VM settings (right click on VM in vSphere, go to 'Edit Settings', select 'Options' tab, then change the settings for 'CPU/MMU virtualization') but this doesn't have any impact (I'm guessing that this refers to the relationship between ESX and the VM, not the VM itself).

 

I've tried booting the VM into BIOS, but there are no settings in the BIOS related to virtualization.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Problem with load balanced session cookies within Thinapp

April 11, 2016, 12:43 pm

In our environment, we have made a Thinapp for users to access the Kronos time system with an older version of Java integrated. We have two Kronos webservers load balanced. Whenever the users access the kronos site natively, with the correct version of Java installed, everything works fine. Whenever the users access the Kronos site via the Thinapp I created, they randomly get errors about not being able to retrieve data.

 

Our Kronos analyst stated that the issue is with the session cookies. At some point the session cookie is being lost or not read correctly. Whenever the user is authenticated on one webserver, it works fine. But as soon as the other webserver tries to work with it, it doesn't recognize the user and errors out.

 

I am trying to figure out what setting may be causing an issue with the session cookies, but I have been unsuccessful so far. I have tried Merged and Full isolation modes under the %appdata% folder (Where I believe session cookies are stored. Is there a slim chance someone else has seen a similar issue, or is more knowledgeable on what may be going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

Exporting information on all hosted VM's

So I've managed to get 75% of what I'm looking to extract from vCenter and export it to a CSV file. I'm trying to get some more information which will help me maintain the vCenter environment I am working on. I guess the first problem I'll address is what is the best way to pull down the IPv4 address only? Right now I'm getting both IPv4 and IPv6. When I log into the vCenter server via PowerCli and then run this command:

 

 

     Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="IP addr";E={[string]::Join(',',$_.Guest.IPAddress)}}, NumCpu, MemoryGB, Notes, PowerState | Export-Csv -path "c:\temp" -NoTypeInformation

 

I'm getting a CSV file with a number of data points, and it all looks good other than the IPv4 issue. I tried just adding Host or NetworkAdapters to the data points to get, but it didn't work. Am I going about this the wrong way, or is there a better way to get these data points?

 

 

Thanks!

propCatItem.put("provider-provisioningGroupId",strBusinessGroupId);

var arrKeys = propCatItem.keys;

for each (var strKey in arrKeys){

  System.log(strKey + " : " + propCatItem.get(strKey));

}

 

 

//Set the form, request blueprint

System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vcaccafe.util").validateObject(objCatItem, "Catalog Item");

 

var objCatForm = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.getRequestFormForCatalogItem(objCatItem);

objCatForm = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.setFormValues(objCatForm, propCatItem);

var objCatRequest = vCACCAFERequestsHelper.requestCatalogItemOnBehalfOf(objCatItem, objCatForm, struser);

Win 10 VM Video Driver Problems on VMWare 8.1

April 11, 2016, 1:34 pm

I'm experiencing unreliable video behaviours with VMWare 8.1.

 

Background

 

About a month ago, my 2013 15" MBP Retina smoked itself - display hardware failure.  Okay fine - after determining that the cost of repair was more than the machine was worth, I bought a new 2016 MBP Retina with pretty much identical specifications (16Gb RAM, same display and slightly faster processor).  Restore everything from backups, and the first thing I notice is VMWare 8.1 is semi-frequently crashing on startup.  After the most recent OS X El Capitan updates, that seems to have settled down, only to be replaced by another more distressing behaviour where my Win 10 VM periodically starts up and leaves me with a black window after giving me an error saying that it can't support 3D graphics features. 

 

When I first started the VM on the new laptop, it asked me the usual "did you move or copy this VM", and I said I had moved it (although that shouldn't have much to do with this problem ... I hope)

 

Problem

 

On startup, VMWare complains that the video hardware doesn't support 3D  (It's an AMD Radeon R9 M370X chipset, or an Intel Iris Pro - the MBP has 2 video chipsets in it).  This was not a problem on the old MBP, just the new one.

 

The behaviour is particularly annoying:

 

    Launch the VM, and VMWare gives an error about 3D support.

    VM window opens, and gives me a black display

    VM is otherwise non-responsive

    Suspend the VM

    Exit VMWare entirely

    Restart VMWare

    Resume the VM - VM comes up with a black window

    Suspend the VM - a copy of what the VM Screen normally looks like comes up

    Resume the VM - I can finally start working

 

Attempted Resolutions:

 

1)  Once I got the VM to runnable, uninstall and reinstall the vmware tools package

    Results:  It initially looked like it had been resolved, only to come right back after a restart

 

2)  Reboot laptop

    Results:  No difference

 

Questions For The Community:

1)  Have you ever seen this behaviour yourself? 

 

2)  My intuition is telling me that this is a bug in the VMWare video driver, but that's just a guess.  Any thoughts?

 

3)  Any suggestions where I should look next?

Usando duas placas de rede separada ESxi 6.0

Boa tarde Comunidade!

 

Na empresa onde trabalho, estou tentando implementar em um server HP ML 110 Gen 9, um server Esxi 6.0. Até aí tudo bem.

 

O server possui duas placas de rede físicas. Dentro do esxi já está instalado 2 S.O : Ubuntu server 14.04.4(Fileserver) e Endian Firewall Community 2.5.2(Firewall)

 

Pelo firewall possuo 2 interfaces:
VERDE = rede local

VERMELHA = rede WAN, outro DHCP da empresa deve fornecer um IP para o servidor conectar externamente.

 

 

 

Se alguém puder me ajudar como posso fazer, para separar a rede LOCAL da rede EXTERNA, sou muito grato.

 

O que quero fazer é distribuir o acesso á internet para todas as máquinas que conectarem na faixa VERDE no firewall

 

 

 

Da forma que fiz eu só consigo acessar a REDE LOCAL, o firewall não consegue acessar a internet.

 

Segue imagem de como está o ambiente atualmente.

Active Directory Connection -- Incomplete

Hello Everyone,

 

We are in the process of trying to update to App Volumes 3.0 and currently are having issues getting the Active Directory connection up and running completely. We start going through the steps to do the initial setup of the App Volumes appliance only to get stuck at the AD connection. We put in the Super Admin (AD Group) and give the system a user/pass to query AD, but it comes back with a status of incomplete (even though it excepts everything that we put in).

 

1. We can log in with AD credentials

2. We have added the AD certificates to the .pem file

3. Added the Root / Sub certificates to the .pem file

 

We are stuck here. Can anyone shed some light on the issue in which we are having. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Host virtual adapter not showing under "active networks" in network sharing center and is considered as a public network

I'm using vmware workstation 12.1.0 build-3272444 in a Windows 8.1 Enteprise x64 laptop. As the title says, I connected a host virtual adapter to a host-only network in vmware. Everything is working fine, the virtual adapter gets its IP configuration properly and I can use it to route packets but it never shows under "active networks" in network and sharing center and internally it is considered as public network (this is not shown because the network is not seen under active networks but I know this because I'm trying to RDP from a VM to the host using port 3389 and it does not connect unless I change the RDP firewall rule to include the public profile).

 

Please help. Thanks.

"Support Assistant appliance" and "vRealize Operations Manager"

Aside from accessing support requests, are the proactive and monitoring features of "Support Assistant appliance" redundant to what vRealize Operations Manager can do?

In other words, if I have vRealize Operations Manager, do I need "Support Assistant appliance" to monitor and report issues with my vCenter components?

Hello,

     I've been looking around for a script but I cant seem to find what i'm looking for. I would like something that would survey all VM's across all clusters and datastores (everything) And would generate a CSV report that show the IOPS usage per VM's.

 

I just want to be able to evaluate which VM's in particular are taxing our storage arrays.

 

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

vCenter Red - Unable to verify VMware CA (PSC) signed vCenter SSL Certificate

April 11, 2016, 2:49 pm

I'm in the process of deploying a new Horizon View 7 environment based on vSphere 6 U2 to replace our existing View 5.3 pod. I've got a Windows vCenter Server with separate Windows PSC. I've used the PSC signed SSL certificate for vCenter and downloaded and added the Root CA to the required desktops and servers via Group Policy. If I browse to vCenter from a desktop with the Root CA installed all is well on the HTTPS front. I've added this vCenter Server into my View environment however it's showing up as red on the View dashboard. I've clicked on the vCenter Server and verified the certificate but at  no point does it go green. Both Connection Servers have the Root CA installed and if I launch a browser from the Connection Server itself and browse to the vCenter FQDN the certificate is trusted.

 

Any ideas?

 

I'm unable to create any pools at the moment because of this as View isn't communicating with vCenter as a result and it won't let me select a template VM.

 

If you need to know any further details please let me know and I'll happily supply.

 

Thanks in advance.

Quick question about User Profile and App Volumes 3.0. Actually, we do have setup our environment with App Volume 2.9 and we have a "Writable Volumes" for all users. Their profile are saved in their own "Writable". I do not see any option in App Volume 3.0 that can enable use profile feature.

PowerCli DataStore Audit?

Hello,

 

I was wondering if someone could help me with a script.  I need to do an audit of our datastores with capacity, provisioned, and available.  I did find a snippet of code which returns the information I need, but is there a way to indicate which cluster these DataStores are assigned to?

 

Here is the code I'm using.

 

 

$report
= @() get-datastore

| % {
$info = "" | select DataCenter, Name, Capacity, Provisioned, Available
$info.Datacenter = $_.Datacenter
$info.Name = $_.Name
$info.Capacity = [math]::Round($_.capacityMB/1024,2)
$info.Provisioned = [math]::Round(($_.ExtensionData.Summary.Capacity - $_.ExtensionData.Summary.FreeSpace + $_.ExtensionData.Summary.Uncommitted)/1GB,2)
$info.Available = [math]::Round($info.Capacity - $info.Provisioned,2)
$report += $info }
#$report | sort Available | format-table –auto

 

Ideally I'd like to have a spreadsheet with a seperate worksheet for each Cluster, but having a single sheet with all datastores and their cluster would be fine as well.

 

Thx
