Some background:
The problem:
Last night we had a customer ask for 18 VMs on the same request. They received 14 of those VMs the other 4 changed to state 'BuildingMachine' but our workflow stubs never kicked off. Shortly after the audit log shows the state changing to 'Disposing' and lastly 'Finalized'. We have a hunch that there was an issue with concurrent number of workflows running that caused timeouts to occur, but when I looked into the logs on the DEM workers I wasn't able to gather anything that would indicate as such, and additionally there was no error given for why they failed. The request did return a status of failed and provided the customer with the 14 successfully provisioned VMs.
So my question is, how can I help track down what occurred here if there was no helpful error and I cannot find anything in the logs? Am I looking in the incorrect spots(DEM worker logs)? We are thinking that we may need to scale out the number of DEM workers in our environment to make sure that this does not happen again, but before we do that it would be nice to know if concurrent workflow executions were actually the issue we ran into.
If anyone has any experience with tracking this issue down that would be helpful, thanks!
Hello,
I am using M workstations to run some VMs.
When I don't use them for some minutes, they automatically power off. How can I change this set up?
many thanks
I have an issue. I am creating a script that will use the New-VM cmdlet as followed: New-VM -Name $_.Name -Template $_.Template -VMHost $_.DestinationHost -Datastore $_.Datastore -OSCustomizationSpec $_.CustomSpec -MemoryGB $_.MemoryGB -NumCpu $_.NumCpu
The issue I am having is when I start typing this command into Powershell it will initially autocomplete the parameters like -Name and -Template. But one I use the -Name parameter and then try to type -Template, powershell won't autocomplete the parameter. It doesn't even show up in the list of available parameters. If I try to use -Template first, I can then autocomplete the -Name parameter but then can't find the -Memory or -NumCpu parameter.
I am using PowerCLI 5.8 in my production environment and have also tried PowerCLI 6.3 Release 1. It happens all the same within Powershell. If I open the PowerCLI console window, everything autocompletes successfully. Am I missing something?
I recently upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to 10 Pro. I had to run the installer again and repair the installation to get it to run. Now, however I have come to realize that no USB device are getting recognized by the guest OS. I do the usual stuff, i.e. with focus on the guest VM, go to removable devices and then connect the device in question. However the guest OS doesn't seem to pick up the fact that a USB device was connected. Is this a known issue with Workstation 11 and Windows 10? Any fix or troubleshooting I could do?

I was surprised to see that there was not a MySQL content pack.
Making this a tough sell to my RHEL team.
Any idea when a MySQL pack might come out?
Thanks!!!
Hi
I did some comparisons between Sigar and Linux iostat and I feel that the 'svctm' value computed by Sigar is not the same because of a rounding error.
Here below is the result on my computer:
Sigar iostat: svctm=0.05
Linux iostat: svctm=1.31
A manual computation using /proc/diskstats shows that the actual value of svctm is 1.31.
The value is computed with these following formulas in linux_sigar.c:
tput = ((double)ios) * HZ / interval;
util = ((double)(disk->time - iodev->disk.time)) / interval * HZ;
disk->service_time = tput ? util / tput : 0.0;
I think it would be better to use this following formula to avoid rounding error:
disk->service_time = ios ? ((double)(disk->time - iodev->disk.time)) / ((double)ios) : 0.0;
What do you think about it?
Regards
Коллеги,
подскажите такой момент есть развернутая инфраструктура на vmware viev 5.2. но вот захотелось в сети использовать тонкие клиенты по линуксом.
Это возможно или нет, поскольку по гаиду на линуксовый клиент варя говорит что нужна инфраструктура 5,3+ а в тоже время в матрице совместимости говориться что клиент вью 4,0 поддерживается без ограничений 5,2
I installed VMWare ESXi 6 in VMWare Workstation Pro12, and set up VMWare ESXi 6 a static IP address, installed VMWare vSphere Client on a VM running Windows Server 2008 R2 standard. I can ping the VMWare ESXi 6 static IP from the VM which running the VMWare vSphere Client. but I am not able to connect. Please help me out, Thanks in advance!
I'm using the ESX embedded host client, and it's a really welcome development, so thanks!
However, I find that I cannot browse the datastore at all, I get timeouts every time I try. Is there a log file somewhere I can look at to see what's happening? Has anyone else noticed this issue?
Anyone had a similar issue?
Host has a PERC H730p controller. Looks like the disks were resetting prior to the crash according to the system's lifecycle controller.
On call with Dell Support. Planning on a VMware support call too.
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to add host on my Vcenter with it gives me error
"Add host (name) Cannot contact the specified host (10.32.xx.xx). The host may not be available on the network, a network configuration problem may exist, or the management services
on this host may not be responding."
I am not a Vm expert , can anybody help. Also I can ping the ESXi host and also login to ESXi directly from the Vspeher client.
Pls help.
Hello everyone,
I need to create several scheduled task to relocate VM with Storage Migration.
The script create tasks reading infos from a csv file formatted with 2 column: VM,DestDatastore
The script is based on the one decribed in this article: http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/18/scheduled-tasks-methodaction/
Below my changes:
Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=1)] [string]$CsvFile
)
$startTime = [Datetime] $(Get-Date -format 'MM/dd/yyyy') + " 20:00"
$startInterval = 5
$si = get-view ServiceInstance
$scheduledTaskManager = Get-View $si.Content.ScheduledTaskManager
$offset = 0
Import-Csv $CsvFile | % { $vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name"=$_.VM} $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec $spec.Name = "svMotion_to_VMAX_of_" + $_.VM $spec.Description = "Migrate " + $_.VM + " to " + $_.DestDatastore $spec.Enabled = $true $spec.Scheduler = New-Object VMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler $spec.Scheduler.runat = $startTime.AddMinutes($offset) $offset += $startInterval $spec.Action = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodAction $spec.Action.Name = "RelocateVM_Task" $arg1 = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument $arg1.Value = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $arg1.Value.datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $_.DestDatastore).Extensiondata.MoRef $spec.Action.Argument += $arg1 $arg2 = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument $arg2.Value = [VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineMovePriority]"defaultPriority" $spec.Action.Argument += $arg2 $scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask($vm.MoRef, $spec)
}
My problem is that I'm unable to code how to convert disks to thick lazy zeroed during storage migration (regardless the original format).
Any idea?
Thanks

Hello peoples
I have just upgraded our ESXi 5.1 to ESXi 6.0, and can no longer see our Datastores.
Its 2 x iSCSI LUNS to our Dell SAN.
You can see images her:
I have access to the Storage/Devices, but not the Datastores.
The datastore configuration should look like:
Can anybody please help??

Hi,
I use the following code in order to remove all the network adapters connected to specific virtual machine.
Sometime the workflow finishes with no error, but most of the times I receive the following error in the vCenter: Invalid configuration for device '1'.
What can I change in my code?
var nicsToRemove = [];
for each (var device in vm.config.hardware.device) {
if (device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet
|| device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet2
|| device instanceof VcVirtualVmxnet3
|| device instanceof VcVirtualE1000
|| device instanceof VcVirtualPCNet32
|| device instanceof VcVirtualEthernetCard) {
// Here you can add some custom logic to decide whether to remove the network adapter
// This sample code will remove all network adapters
nicsToRemove.push(device);
}
}
var vmConfigSpec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
var deviceChanges = [];
var deviceConfigSpec = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec() ;
System.log(vm.name);
for each (var nic in nicsToRemove) {
deviceConfigSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.remove;
deviceConfigSpec.device = nic;
System.log("The nic is: " + nic.connectable.status);
vmConfigSpec.deviceChange = deviceChanges;
if (nic.connectable.status == "ok"){
deviceChanges.push(deviceConfigSpec);
}
}
try {
myTask = vm.reconfigVM_Task(vmConfigSpec);
} catch (ex) {
System.warn("Error while reconfiguring VM: " + ex);
}
Hello,
We have a need to shrink the C: drive (and go from thick to thin provisioning) of 4 Domain Controller VMs that have HA and FT enabled. I performed a test on a system with identical disk/provisioning but it was not part of a cluster nor was it HA-FT enabled. I just wanted to ask if anyone had done anything similar, and what problems the HA and FT being enabled could cause. I am going to work next on doing an apples to apples comparison on a test cluster now that my initial testing was successful, but I thought it worthwhile to ask here to see if anyone had any experience with this.
ESXi 5.5 and Windows Server 2008 R2 on the VMs
Thanks
