Re: Bundling multiple OVAs and installing in different VMs

$
0
0

My understanding from

 

"http://vcp5.wordpress.com/category/vapps/"  is,  Once we completed OVA successfully ( which create vApp with muliple servers).

 

If we configure "IP Pool" (IP ranges)  and vApp is also having "transient ip allocation policy", then IP  addresses will be assigned to vApp-> VMs.

 

one more doubt, how we can configure IP address to each VMs under through Adavanced ->properties

 

Kindly share your commnets on this.

 

As you say,  it is quite easy to o with VMware studio. But as of now, I have to use vsphere client.


To increase CPU resources - add vCPU

$

I am reading the VMware Performance Troubleshooting for vSphere 4.1

 

Section 9.3.2.1 stated that to increase CPU resource one of the method is to add vCPU to the VM with the max allowable number of vCPU.

 

How can I tell what is the allowable number of vCPU for the VM?

 

Take the popular ones: Windows Sever 2008 and Red Hat Enterprise.

 

Is there some other VMware document that specify the max allowable number of vCPU?  May be the answer is in the same document but I am still trying to digest this Performance Troubleshooting guide.

 

thanks for the information,

 

anthony.

Up: проапдэйтил vmware tools до установленного vss provider (vmware tools --> manual modify --> vmware device drivers --> volume shadow copy service), в <volume>:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers папка vss появилась,

VMware Snapshot Provider service появился в HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmvss, в службах руками включил vmware snapshot provider, возможность создать снапшот все еще отсутствует. Может ли это быть из-за восстановления vcenter`а из бэкапа способом описанном в моем первом посте, 2м абзаце?

Re: Vmware Tools running but unsupported

Yes , thats an interesting article.

 

However my concern was bit different..if anyone have VC at 5, then you may also see "Vmware tools version ". i.e select Vm and go to summary and there you see either "Running (Unsupported)" , "Running (Supported)" , "Not running (Supported)" and" Not Running (Unsupported)".

 

I need to know whats all these new terms are in VC5?

 

Thanks

Cannot see any files when browsing datastores in vCenter Server 5.0 when ESX hosts are in Standby Mode

I found same phenomenon in knowledge base.

 

Cannot see any files when browsing datastores in vCenter Server 4.0 when ESX hosts are in Standby Mode (1018767).

These are solved in 4.1 described in this issue.

 

But we are using all ESXi servers and vCenter of 5.0 and  the same phenomenon appears.

So the build on the site is a old build. I have a hotfix that was given to me to address the activation issue. The build that was given to me was 556319 I believe. The one you have is a new hotfix it looks like. I really hope this one works...

 

I've been sadly disappointed by vmware lately.

thanks again for your reply.

 

I did try a lot of troubleshooting with cygwin and versions of perl and removing the system variable $PATH (vCenter perl path) and pointing to cygwin\bin etc.

I finally did upgrate to 2.1.1 after which the time sync errors went away.

 

i am still not sure what caused the errors to go.

 

i have still not configured the mail server thing correctly. I ran a partial run with one tile and OlioDB0 and OlioWeb0.the run has been successful and I am yet to troubleshoot other issues with the other workloads.

 

thanks a ton again for your help.

will trouble you again if needed

 

ADDED:

Lastly, Can i keep the datastores in a cluster with SDRS turned on? the doc doesnt talk about storage DRS anywhere!

Re: Memory Monitoring issues with Large Memory Pages?

Thx.. But I'm in the community since 2009.

 

As for your question, it isn't a real memory performance problem.. As I have pointed out in the original post, I think I know what is the problem I'm experiencing - and it's not really a performance one, but the issue with the so called "Large Memory Pages".

 

I just want someone who can explain this to me in a simple understanding way..

Force the REDO_ file to always reside at a directory

$
0
0

Would like the *REDO_* file of an independent-nonpersistent drive to always reside at a directory other than the .vmx's directory.

 

Setting workingDir = ... does it, but it also puts the .vmem file there when the VM is suspended which is not required.

 

Setting scsi0:1.redo = ... does not work, this is reset to "" when the VM is switched off.

 

How can the *REDO_* (and only the *REDO_*) file be forced to reside at a specified directory?

Did VMWare Fusion kill my Quicken 2007?

$
0

I've spent the last week trying to get a group of software for a programming class to play nice in Parallels, then Virtual Box, then VMWare Fusion 4.1 on my Mac Pro running Snow Leopard. I hadn't upgraded to Lion yet because of stupid Quicken 2007.

 

Overall, I'm loving VMWare most, but now I can't get Quicken 2007 to open. It crashes every time I try to import or export from Quicken. It's never done that before.

 

After spending more time than I care to think about on this (especially after spending a week trying to get this other software to work), I copied the backup file over to my MacBook Pro, which also has Quicken 2007 on it, and does NOT have VMWare Fusion on it. Quickbooks was more than happy to export from itself.

 

So, did Fusion kill off my Mac Pro copy of Quicken?

 

I have trashed my Quicken preferences, repaired my permissions, zapped my pram, run Disk Warrior, rebuolt my directory, rebuilt Quickens lists, copied a backup file over from Time Machine from a month ago, reinstalled Quicken from a disk...and I go to export or import, and the application crashes by quickly closing.

 

I know Quicken 2007 is pretty long in the tooth, but Quicken Essentials sucks, and I haven't been thrilled with iBank, Moneydance, and See Money, or whatever that is.

 

Can anyone help?


Crash on storage Vmotion on big VM's

$

0

When I try moving a VM to another datastore sometimes VMware/SAN/Switches crashes. IOPS on the SAN (Equallogic 4000e cluster) drops to zero. All Vm's don't respond during this time. When the move crashes IOPS goes back up to normal level.

 

It is possible to move small machines but larger VM's always fails.

 

I'm using VMware 5.0, Dell powerconnect 5424 switches and a Equallogic 4000 cluster.

 

I reinstalled ESXi machines, updated the switches etc. Nothing helps.

 

Someone can help me?

Re: Help needed with NTP

Did you add your VMhost to a Windows domain?

http://www.vfrank.org/2010/09/01/esxi-4-1-ntp-active-directory/

Apparently, if the host is part of the domain it will ignore the NTP setting and sync with the PDC. My DC sync's to nist1-ny.ustiming.org and my host has apparently been getting time from my DC (they're all correct) so I haven't been able to verify this on way or the other.

 

 

Edit - In my case if the NTP service was stopped on the ESXi host the host time started to drift slow. Once I put in my DC's IP and started the NTP service it started syncing with my DC. So, take the above link with a grain of salt...

applying host profile in autop deploy

after my auto deploy host comes up and gets added to a cluster. I have to manually apply the host profile. how do I automate this part?

 

also when i apply the profile, it will prompt me to change the hostname, after it does the hostname gets changed in the console but does not show in vcenter. in vcenter it still shows the static ip of the host instead of hostname

 

any idea?
