Can't get NIC Teaming to work

I'd like to set up new iSCSI storage for my hosts. I've chosen FreeNAS and installed it as VM on on of my ESXi hosts (I'm going to create few more VMs here for administrative purposes).

I've created two interfaces on FreeNAS (if I understand correctly it must be done to use IP Hash policy):

10.png

When I create load on FreeNAS it shows traffic on both interfaces:

1.png

 

Also I see traffic on both paths at initiator host:

2.png

I've made aggregated ports and set up the ESXi host as described here:

6.png

(all port groups have the same settings)

 

But I get only one NIC active on FreeNAS'es host (what is working on less than 50% speed):

What have I missed or misunderstood?

 

Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

VCSA 6.5 doesn't grok DNSSec

November 15, 2016, 9:35 pm

Started a VCSA 6.5 upgrade from 6.0 today after the bits landed.

 

Ran through the process a few times until I groked the error blocking me that during the upgrade process. It failed because resolving the vcenter's DNS name produced an RRSIG NSEC DNS entry for _443._tcp.dnsname instead of the A record expected.

 

Since this vcenter and DNS are in an DNSsec zone, it is normal for it to have an RRSIG and NSEC entry.

 

I solved this by changing the DNS resolver on the appliance (I did both the old and new temporary one) to a DNS resolver that I knew couldn't handle DNSSec resolution, and that let me move on.

 

FWIW: This didn't happen during the beta testing, this is new behavior since the betas.

8.5.2 has problems

#1 it has crashed and HARD 3 times in the last 3 days. Like my whole system is locked and I have to hold the button down in the back to restart..... AHHHHHHHH......I just now tried disabling drag and drop and cut and paste...pretty much everything else that I can disable is disabled..

 

#2 It is possessed ! My mouse was moving on its own for 10 minutes or so in Windows until I got bored of watching and trying to quit vmware f%^&ion and once again I had to restart the hard way.

 

Man I want to go back to 8.5s quick crashes......At least I didn't loose work. Can we please just have a nice clean working version? 8.5.1 seemed fine so I didn't think 8.5.2 was going to have some serious problems.

 

#3 If I am in the middle of an Autocad command and hit F8 Autocad freezes. I have to minimize and maximize the program it get it working again.. That was happening in 8.5.1 and I thought maybe they fixed that in 8.5.2....

Hi Team,

 

I am using Fusion 8.5 PRO Trial Version. I have built some VM Images.

 

My queries:

 

1. I am trying to buy license copy of Fusion 8.5 (not PRO). Will license key of Fusion 8.5 work on Fusion 8.5 PRO trial version? or do I need to download Fusion 8.5 and update a key?

 

2. Can VM's exported from trial version, works on another  softwares like vSphere or EsX?

 

3. Can I use VM's exported from PRO version to basic version without issues?

 

3. What is major difference between PRO and basic 8.5?

 

Thanks in Advance.

Error installing VMware Remote Console plug-in: "failed to install hcmon driver."

Hello all,

I am trying to install the VMware Remote Console plug-in for my Internet Explorer 11 32-bit browser, and I keep getting an error during installation: "Failed to install the hcmon driver."

 

I have Windows 7 64-bit, with .NET 4.5.5 installed. There is no hcmon anything installed in my Device Manager.

 

I am using an x86 install file for VRMC (VMware-vmrc-win32-x86.exe), but I assume this 32-bit version is what I want because I'm using 32-bit IE? Or do I want 64-bit for my OS?

 

I have viewed related posts to this problem, but all my registry keys seem to be set properly, and my .NET is of course newer than the 3.5 SP1 version, but hopefully that's OK.

 

Also, I received an error about the USB Arbitration Service in my Windows logs, but following the steps outlined here and retrying the install also failed with the same "hcmon" error described above:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2043656

 

Any ideas on what might be happening, or other things I can try?

VMWare Fusion 8.5.2 update stopped "suspend.disabled="TRUE" in .vmx file from working. virtual machine goes to sleep after 5 mins.

Have fusion running on macbook pro running 10.11.6 El Capitan. Was annoyed at the fact that even though all sleep settings on mac and pc side were set to go to sleep "never", if I was reading or working on the host for 5 mins the guest would suspend. Found the suspend.disabled = "TRUE" setting that I added to the vm's .vmx file and got it to not suspend last week. Was so happy I finally got my workflow the way I wanted and wouldnt have to enter my login every 5 minutes. I then updated Fusion to version 8.5.2 yesterday upon notification there was an update and this suspend.disabled setting no longer works. Tried deleting it and shutting down adding and removing that text from the settings file in ever combination all day long using a stopwatch app on my iphone. Every single time exactly at 5 mins the guest would put itself into suspend. Tried even moving it around in the order even though the online notes say it doesnt matter. Tried restarting with and without it as well as completely shutting the vmware fusion app and shutting down my macbook completely. Nothing. testing this was arduous as I had to wait 5 mins for each test for each scenario on top of rebooting over and over. Anyone having a similar issue or find a resolution?

 

Thanks.

I understand the metadata service is not supported with VDS-only deployments. Does this mean that cloud-init and cloud-config does not work with VDS-only deployments?

Running VM on cluster

OK, I am probably going to sound like an idiot, but here it goes. I know what a cluster is. I've heard of different things like Beowulf.

What I want to know is can the master node act as a desktop computer with the combined resources of the whole cluster, so you can run VM Workstation or something of that effect on it? If you can could you give me general setup info using Linux for all the nodes, what software to use and so on? Not just VM, but anything else really like launching an app from Unity and having it figure how to distribute that process across the nodes. Please?

Running UNMAP from separate host

November 16, 2016, 11:23 am

I have a Dell Compellent array I am looking to reclaim space on using the UNMAP cli. The ESX cluster attached to this array is fairly utilized at about 68% memory. I would like to run the UNMAP from a host without any VMs running on it in case something happens to the host, i.e. PSOD or hang, etc.

 

So I have a couple of options:

 

1. Put an existing host in Maintenance mode and run UNMAP from it. I should have the resources to do this even though my memory utilization is nearly 70%

2. Add another host to the cluster and put it in Maint mode. It is some work to repurpose one, but I can do it from another cluster.

3. I have a small 2-node test cluster that I can map the Array volumes too as well (it is attached to the same FC Fabric). Then I can simply map 1 Array volume at a time to it and run the UNMAP. I would have to map the volume twice on the array side but I cant image that would matter. IE, right now there is a cluster object on the array with all the ESX hosts and that gets mapped. This would be a separate mapping. But I have done it before.

 

I actually would prefer #3 it seems the safest and least work for me. However I want to be sure there will not be any issues with running this command from a host outside the normal cluster, I cant image so. AFAIK scsi or ATS reservations have no concept of a Cluster. So I should be alright. Just checking.

 

Thank you.
