Troubleshooting Blast through UAG

January 13, 2018, 4:23 am

Hi

 

I am having problems with Bast connections through my UAG, I am just finishing off a deployment so its not yet work

 

When i try to connect through the UAG

 

In the client i don't get an error , it just spins for 10 seconds and then goes back to the pool selection screen

 

in the admin console on the connection server it allocates me a vdi in the events log

 

Is there a way to trouble shoot bast connectivity through the chain ?

 

it works fine over vpn or internally so in my mind it must be either firewall , the uAG tunnel or SSL error

 

to add my internal dns is different to my external , i am using a wildcard for the external dns all the way through to my connection server and it looks ok

 

PCOIP is working fine also

 

Thanks

vmnics assignment

Hi,

 

Have added a Distributed switch with 2 uplinks, does it mean that each host that is assigned to this switch will need to have 2 available physical network cards (or virtual ones in case of a nested ESXi)?

 

.200 is a physical ESXi whilst .202 is a VM, can I unassign/free vmnic0 from vSwitch0 (would I lose connectivity if I do so)?

HA not being disabled at host remediation

January 13, 2018, 5:22 am

I recently upgraded my esxi5.5 install to a new 6.5 VCSA and then the hosts.

Since the "new" install of venter, and adding the hosts into the new cluster, if I try to remediate hosts to perform updates, the status just sits at around 33% doing nothing, and the host never goes into Maintenance mode.

 

After trying different things, it seems that I have to manually disable HA.  Once done, the host will happily go into maintenance mode and remediate.

Then if I manually enable HA, all is good.

 

I only have vSphere Essentials so no DRS option available, but in the remediate settings, everything is set for Disable.

 

Any ideas?

 

Under 5.5, the disabling of HA was automatic, so I literally hit remediate and off it went.

Running ESXi v6.5u1.

 

I would like to shutdown all running VM's except for one.

Running /sbin/shutdown.sh will shutdown all running VM's (auto started vm's with vmware tools installed, that is) but I need one VM to stay alive.

vCenter Server Appliance root password change not working

November 23, 2017, 5:57 am

I am using VCSA 6.5.0.11000 Build Number 6816762 (german language).

Today I tried updating it with the 6.5.0.12000 Build-Nummer 7119157 updates (via the management interface https://vcenter.xxxx.xxxx:5480/#/appliance/update?locale=de )  . It did not work.

The error was:

"Appliance (OS) root password is expired or is going to expire soon. Please change the root password before installing an update."

So I went to the Admistration, entered the current password and a new one.

But the password was not changed and the error thrown reads (in german): "Das Kennwort konnte nicht festgelegt werden" which roughly translates to "The password could not be set"

As expiration date for the current password there is listed "Fri Jan 01 1971".

VCSA had been installed on Nov 19 2016 (V6.0.0).

Any thoughts how to solve the problem? Why can I log in in the vcenter, but not change the password?

I have recently subscribed to on demand course. I would like to know is there a way I can at least get Student Manual?

I understand On Demand course is self-paced 30 days. After 30 days course gets removed from subscription/enrollment page. Does it mean even Student Manual is valid only for 30 days?

I am trying to export an ova-file using powercli but with no success. It do work when I login with the same user in the vSphere client but not with powercli.

 

Get-VM -Name "my test VM 150505 12345" | Export-VApp -Destination "L:\Backup 150505\" -Format Ova

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_NfcLease_RunNfcTask_Error,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.ExportVApp

 

I have also tried to use the -VM parameter insted of pipelining with the same result.

 

* I have verified that the VM does exist - $vm = Get-VM -name "my test VM 150505 12345" does work.

* When I run the command above, I can see that the ...ova.tmp file is created in the directory and then deleted prior to the error.

* In the vSphere client, the "Recent Tasks" says "Export OVF template ...... The task was canceled by a user."

 

Thank you for any suggestions/hints.

SEP 14's GEM blocking Google Chrome from running as App Stack Win7 App Vol 2.12.1

Greetings:

 

Is anyone using Sep 14?   It seems that the Generic Exploit Mitigation feature blocks Google Chrome from running as an appstack.

 

Win10 works absolutely fine. Also, App Volumes 2.11 works fine as well.  I can provision the appstack in AppVol 2.11 with SEP 14 and Win 7, no problem. I deploy it and it opens.
It is only the combination of Sep 14 (with GEM), Win7, and App Vol 2.12.1.

 

 

I imagine there may be other applications that run into this issue, but so far I have only been able to discover it with Chrome.

rebuilding a failed host in vSAN 4 node cluster

January 13, 2018, 10:42 am

Looking for some guidance on the best method to remove a problematic host from a 4-node vSAN cluster so that I can reinstall ESXi and rebuild the the host config, before rejoining to the vSAN cluster.

 

The host in question has some issues in the boot file system and I am finding it impossible to apply updates.  VMware support engineer advises to rebuild the host, and then rejoin it to the cluster.

 

In a basic non-vSAN cluster, this would be a fairly routine procedure, but I am a little apprehensive about removing a node from the vSAN cluster, and am looking for a little reassurance.  Is it as simple as evacuating all of the VMs and vmdk files from the affected host, placing it in maintenance mode, and then removing it from the cluster and from vSphere inventory?

 

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

 

Several years back I successfully converted a physical machine to a virtual with VMware's converter standalone tool. That was several versions back obviously. Now, I am trying to do the same thing and failing. I have been looking to see why it is happening.

 

FAILED: Unable to obtain the lock on virtual disks.

 

This is the error I am getting above.

 

Any advice is welcome. Verion of converter is 6.2.0 build-7348398

 

Thanks,

Caps lock always turn on after switching from Windows 10 Virtual Machine to Host

I have a really annoying problem since I upgraded to vmware fusion 10 (10.0.1) (why oh why do I keep upgrading)

 

When I move to the virtual machine which is hosting windows 10, no matter what caps state the virtual machine is in, my caps always goes on when I return to the host. So no caps in host to virtual machine no caps = CAPS when returning to host, no caps on host to caps on virtual machine = CAPS on host. I continually move from virtual machine to host which means that I constantly have to turn CAPS off. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

VM goes off the network

There is strange issue that I have come across in my environment.

 

There are VMs that I recently converted from Hyper-V to vSphere(6.0)

the machines randomly go off the network and cannot ping the gateway.

 

the machine would sometimes comeback online by performing a vMotion to another host, or by re-connecting the network adapter or by restarting.

Based on the behaviour it earlier looked like a vLAN configuration issues and I verified that the vLAN is allowed on both the physical nework adapters we are using.

 

after some log analysis I found below logs in the vmkernel log file.

 

vmkernel.3:2018-01-06T20:09:07.037Z cpu17:14011301)NetPort: 1573: enabled port 0x30000e5 with mac 00:50:56:xx:xx:xx

based on this I understand there is something is the guest which is requesting a mac address change. don't know what it is?

I checked for any hidden devices and I uninstalled them. I am using e1000 adapter.

 

found only the below article which seemed related but I am not using vmxnet3

Failed to upload ISO-file to storage

I´m back to work with VMware since the days everyone worked with the traditional VMware console in VMware 5.5.

Now I´m struggling with this terrible web client.
8 hours and I still get the error message when I try to  upload the ISO file.

Think someone who had the same problem must show exactly step by step how
to make it work with certificates with this version of VMware. (VMware 6.5).
Have followed VMware's kb2147256 but without any success. I´ve done exactly
as the error message says, but still no luck.

I´m really appreciate your answer.

 

 

Ps.
I´ve folloved everything about self signed certificates and issued all necessary certificates

Running VMware vCenter 6.5 with two ESXi Host running in VMware Workstation.
It´s a "private Lab

Kernel Panic - restart; Freezing since Fusion update to 10.1.1

January 13, 2018, 2:19 pm
$

Since the update to 10.1.1 - at least 3 times a day, my Mac will freeze (and not come out of it without a hard reboot), or will get a kernel panic causing the system to reboot. Granted, Apple just had an update and so ran everything yesterday, all day, without running Fusion and did not run into any issues. On the freeze, sometime it happens when waking up, sometimes I will be working on something on the computer, step away for 15 to 20 mins (without it going to sleep), start to work on something...freezes, gives me the ball - and sometimes it looks like it starts to shutdown (programs start closing in the background) and then it hangs. 2 hours later. Still hanging.

 

So - at the moment, it appears to be something going on with Fusion that causes the freeze or sometimes the kernel panic (I step away for lunch or dinner and come back to a rebooted system). I currently have the following:

 

Fusion 10.1.1

Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2014)

Running High Sierra, 10.13.2 (17C205)

2.5 GHz, Intel Core i7

16GB memory, 1600 MHz DDR3

 

So my most recent step is to open up Compatibility in Fusion and step down the hardware version to 12 (as I was having the same issue with freeze and reboot, but maybe once every other day at 10.0.1). Will see what happens here. If that doesn't work, plan to run in Unity mode and see how that fares.

 

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue since Fusion update to 10.1.1

 

Thanks

Richard
