Re: DB Error Messages in Customer Portal
Of course, these errors are not related with the DB object at all. My fault, I was wrongly interpreted your term "DB error messages".
Most probably these error are generated in the code behind and there is nothing you can do. Unless there are some tricky hidden settings (in registry maybe) to disable such thorough error messages. I don't know... :\
But in case if you will not find a better solution you may try changing the portal error messages by using some javascripting "on the fly".
These are the steps to get that:
* Check if you have jquery library reference in LiteMaster.htm. It should contain somehing like this:
<script language="javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.js" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
* Modify LiteError.htm by ading this script at the end:
...
<script>
$( ".AlertContent" ).html("My Dear Portal User,<br/><br/>Something slightly wrong has just happened in the system.<br>But please do not panic, everything is under control. Unless we haven't been informed about it yet.<br/>So we are kindly asking you to call us by the number 123456789 and tell us about your last actions here.<br/><br/>And thank you for being our customer!");
</script>
</body></html>
* Recycle IIS Application Pool used by VSM Portal.
* Try to get some errors within the portal.

Re: vCO 5.5 Webview - Exception occurred expanding AD
We have similar issue already reported.We are working on a fix for it.
I would like to confirm the exact version of vCO you are referring to.
Could you also provide a screenshot of the error?
in case it is the same issue it should be reproducible also with workflows not related to AD plug-in. Basicly any workflow using inventory tree for selecting inputs.

Re: Powercli script needed to modify 9 network adapters of a VM in a single operation
The only way I can explain this, is that you devices of type VirtualEthernetCard that do not have anything in the Backing property.
Could you perhaps show me the settings of such a VM ? A screenshot would be handy.
And more specifically how the NICs on that VM are configured ?
Could these be NICs that are pointing to non-existant portgroups ?

Re: Hide string value when it's being converted from a securestring
A bit more secure option is using the encrypted string.
The difference is that encrypted string plain text value is accessible only in plugin code (Java). It is not available in the scripting.

Re: script for monitoring disk space usage on ESXi 4 from windows
Afaik, there are no cmdlets that interact with the ESX(i) file system.
The only way I can think of is to use SSH to run the "df -h" on the ESX(i) node.
See for example 3. Re: looking for a script to alert on low disk space

Re: CentOS VM crashes - vmtoolsd
Hi,
I have the same issue with vmware ESX 5.5 U1, Centos 6.5 (up to date) and VEEAM Backup (7.0 R2 - 7.0.0.871).
When veeam do a snapshot with quiesce option the VM is freezed. It respond to ping but we can't login, as if the filesystem was freezed but not released. I have several vm with the same version of vmware tools (provided from vmware repository : vmware repos) and there is no error.
When I do a manual snapshot with the option "quiesce file system" the snapshot success.
Edit : When I do a manual snapshot WITHOUT "quiesce file system" the vm crash.
Did you solved your issue?

Re: Supermicro X9SBAA-F with a Atom S1260
When adding a new physical NIC, usually you would have to assign the NIC to the host via the black&yellow ESXi shell.
But I might have found a workaround. Could be useful for other people with the same board/problem, or just general information.

Посоветуйте лабораторию?
Доброго времени суток.
Я пытаюсь вытрясти лабораторию. Как я себе это представляю: 3 хоста, 1 вцентр и общее хранилище (пускай нищенское) - должно быть достаточно для большинства тестов. Коммутаторы не нужны, как и тян.
1 вариант (вложенная виртуализация - худший вариант на мой взгляд). Я рассчитывал на то, что довольно мощная но старая железка, подключенная по FC к довольно старому хранилищу (clarion cx120) выйдет из эксплуатации, я на ней разверну 3 виртуальных хоста, воткну им хранилище по FC/NPIV и получу шареный сторадж и 3 хоста. Но вложенную виртуализаци не хочется - это раз. И похоже меня обломали с этим оборудованием - это два.
2 вариант - 3 маломощных отдельных железки и общее хранилище (мне такой вариант больше нравится, но его я не рассматривал, т.к. требует отдельных затрат, но рассматриваю теперь). Если 1-2 маломощных железяки (скажем старенький xeon на 4 ядра и 15-20-25 гб RAM) я смогу найти, хотя и не отказался бы от совета по поводу 3й железки, то по поводу хранилища - вообще понятия не имею что можно собрать, т.к. имел дело только с вендорными блочными решениями, отдающимися по FC. Соответственно нужен совет - NFS или программный iSCSI? На чем собрать так чтоб дешево и сердито (хотя сердито, наверное, не получится)? Под дешево я имею в виду очень дешево - хранилище тыщ 50.
Спасибо заранее.

Re: ESXi 5.1 - LSI 3ware 9650SE not showing up
It's no longer needed, but maybe someone else can get something out of this.
To me, ESXi feels extremely unstanble because of problems like these, because it's such a custom system, not based on a generic unix distribution that would come with normal drivers.
Which is why I'm (slowly) moving to Proxmox, which uses a normal filesystem, normal drivers, and normal software. And being based on plain Debian, it can update itself.

Re: Slow networking in Fusion7 / Win8.1
No - using bridged mode I was seeing a maximum download of 1-2mbps, upload was full bandwidth 10mbps.
This was the case with bridged wifi or thunderbolt->x520 10be connections.
NAT worked fine at full line speed, i.e 150/10mbps
Parallels uses the Pro 1000 MT Network Connector driver and allows full speed to both LAN and WAN.
VMWare Fusion7 doesn't allow me to start that driver, always reporting an error (-10).
For the time bing Ive dropped back to Parallels but will revisit when i have more time to experiment or there is a new build to test.

ESXi 5.5 webinterface - how to disable SSL v3
Hi,
In the wake of the Poodle vulnerability, our security teams have flagged our ESXi hosts for using SSLv3 for the traffic going over the web-interface, on port 443.
Is there any way to disable the use of SSL v3 in the ESXi web server? I've looked for KBs explaining how to do this, but I found nothing.
I also had a quick look on the advanced settings and there was nothing there.
Am I missing something really obvious?
Thank you,
Ionut

vCenter Server 5.0 to 5.5 and SSO Deployment Modes
Hi,
Just after some opinions as I've seen conflicting views on this.
I have half a dozen vCenter Server instances. They're all on the same AD domain but quite geographically disperse and the links are of varying quality. Each site has its own VC based on vSphere 5.0 on Server 2008 with a separate MS SQL server providing database duties. Each VC has its own (local) Single Sign On instance hosted on the local SQL DB. All the instances are stand-alone, there's no linked mode and or other dependencies between them. Other than the AD they're completely isolated. They're also quite small (few hundred VMs, less than ten hosts).
I'm planning to upgrade to 5.5 and am considering my options for SSO. According to the 5.5 Documentation Centre I have three options for SSO - Standalone/Basic, High Availability and Multisite.
Ignoring High Availability, I'm not sure if I should go for basic, with a standalone (local to the VC) SSO at each site or Multisite, with a local SSO at each site but part of the same SSO authentication domain. The 5.5 Documentation Centre indicates that if I'm not using Linked Mode (which I'm not) then a basic deployment at each site will be fine.
However, reading KB 20724335 the last line seems to indicate that multisite is best for SSO instances after the first install.
Important: VMware recommends this deployment mode when installing any additional vCenter Single Sign-On servers in your environment.
At the moment I'm inclined to keep it simple and stick to basic but I'd like to see if anyone else has done this differently and if I should go down the multisite route?
Thanks
Chris

Re: Number of available slots in cluster
Not sure what you mean by "too low"? If you are using the default calculation for slot size (what I would recommend) the remaining slots will tell you how many more VMs you can turn on. You would have to determine if that was "too low".
To determine the number of slots available you can look here: Cluster>Monitor>vSphere HA>Summary. This will show you: Total slots, used slots, available slots, slot size, etc.
Does this answer your question?

Re: ESXi 10-15-2014 Patches break Citrix Netscaler VPX Appliance
We ran into this issue last night. Citrix tech had us do a roll back on the ESX server (shift r during reboot) to remove the patch and it fixed the problem.
