Shift key stuck in 7.0.1 when using Blast

$

Hi All

 

I have a very odd issue since upgrading to Horizon 7.0.1 which only happens when using BLAST. When a user hits caps lock the environment acts as though the shift key is being held down. Hitting caps again has no effect. The user then has to actually hold shift and hit any key to get it to go back to normal. Much like an old typewriter. I know you can set this behaviour in Windows but I've made sure the option is off. I've even enabled and disabled it just in case. This doesn't happen on PCoIP. I've tried it from Macs, Windows 10 and Windows 7 PCs. I have a Ubuntu desktop at home and it only occasionally does this.

 

I've created a brand new desktop pool with the latest agent, tried the existing pools on the old (6.2.3) agent and with the new. Uninstalled the agent/tools then reinstalled. Nothing works. I've even noticed this issue when launching an application over Blast thats hosted on a server 2012 RDS host.

 

Has anyone seen anything similar? I've got a SR open with VMware who are investigating but there's no know issue regarding this. I can only assume its something with the connection server since the upgrade. I've rebooted and no luck.


Re: Script to add VMs to Inventory not working

Thanks LucD.  I double-checked it and made the biggest end-user error.  I didn't update the ps1 from where the l was actually running it from.  It was missing the '}' at the very end.  I was just editing the wrong file/location!  Doh!

vCenter Db Migration Plan

$

0

I must migrate the vCenter databases to a different datacenter.  The databases reside on a separate VM from the vCenter server.  Going from SQL 2005 Std SQL 2014 Std, on a 5.1 U3b vCenter.  I'm attempting to follow http://kb.vmware.com/kb/7960893.  Here is my migration plan.  I'm referring to the KB articles for the individual steps:

Stop VMware services on the vCenter server.

Backup existing SQL Dbs on the old SQL server with SQL Management Studio http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2045528.

Using SQL Management Studio on the new SQL server, restore the databases.http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2012138

Update the vCenter server SSO settings to reflect change of the host name of the database server http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2033516.

Update the vCenter server System DSN to the new database server location http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003928

- What sort of ODBC driver considerations are there going to be from 2005 Std to 2014 Std from the vCenter server.  I installed the MS ODBC Driver 11 which supports SQL 2014 on the vCenter server.  Download Microsoft® ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server® - Windows from Official Microsoft Download Center  Should that be sufficient?

Restart vCenter services and log into vSphere client. 

Verify jobs and stored procedures on the SQL server http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2033096

Verify Update Manager functionality http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015223.

 

Another item that may be of no consequence is that the Update Manager, vCenter, and Inventory Services db all fall under the same database name, so they are not broken out.  The tables for each of the three databases are all present in the one database.  I only have the RSA and one other Db present to backup and restore.

 

Thanks

Re: Credentials needed for vCenter 6.0 U1 but not vCenter 5.5 U3

I did not find the root cause but I did get this fixed.

 

There is a bug in VCSA with External PSC using LDAP and I joined my PSC and VCSA servers to AD using Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication).

 

Once I did this my scripts started to work.

 

Thanks for your help LucD

Modifying DNS using DNSCmd through vRO

$

I have a small VB script that asks for the host name and IP then adds the server to DNS.  When I run the PS script through the PS editor it runs clean and adds the server to DNS.  When I added the script to vRO, it also looks to run cleanly and comes back saying it ran fine but does not add the server to DNS.  I can also run the script through the command line with the same arguments from vRO (literally cut and pasted from the arguments output) and it runs fine.

Re: Lost all network access after update to 5.5 U3

We are using VC's an those were not modified in any way. I have not tried a new bay but I will test that next.

If I am correct I believe the Update manager took the patches from this uploaded ISO for HP as seen in the picture below.

I have tried resetting the entire network configuration and Re-IP it with no success. Rebooting the Host does nothing either.

Time configuration

Hi When configuring Time configuration for the ESXi hosts.

I have entered the NTP server ip addresses.

Under the Tab General - startup policy i can see the three options.

 

1. Start automatically if any ports are open, and stop when all the ports are closed.

2. Start and stop with host

3. Start and stop manually.

 

Which option is recommended. If i select first option if my esxi hosts is rebooted still the service will be running.

Re: How to find out Datacenter name using only VMName?

$

Hi Sushant,

 

Check the following sample code:

 

var vmName = "myvmname"; // replace with your VM name
var vms = Server.findAllForType("VC:VirtualMachine", "xpath:name='" + vmName + "'");
if (vms == null || vms.length == 0) {  System.log("No virtual machine with such name found");
} else {  if (vms.length > 1) {    System.log("More than one virtual machine with such name found; will use the first one");  }  var vm = vms[0];  var vmparent = vm.parent;  while (vmparent != null && !(vmparent instanceof VcDatacenter)) {    vmparent = vmparent.parent;  }  if (vmparent == null) {    System.log("Parent datacenter not found.");  } else {    System.log("Parent datacenter name: " + vmparent.name);  }
}

 

What the code does is pretty straightforward. First it retrieves a VC:VirtualMachine object for the given machine name, and then it iterates over virtual machine parents chain until it finds parent of type VC:Datacenter.

 

The main problem is that the virtual machine name is not unique; eg. you can have several virtual machines named 'MyVM' in different folders. The sample code above detects this situation and simply picks the first matching virtual machine from the list. In production code, you may want to use a different strategy to handle non-unique names.

Re: make sure the virtual machine's configuration allows the guest to open host applications?

Trying to install Windows 95 - need help

$

I'm trying to install Windows 95 with a installation CD and a floppy disk (with a physical drive). So far, I keep running into the same error: "PXE-E53 No boot filename received". I followed the instructions on the website for installing Windows 95 on Workstation Pro. I looked for similar questions on the community forums, but they don't seem to be helpful. Can some please, PLEASE just give me a simple, step-by-step set of instructions for how to install Windows 95? Seriously, just talk to me like I'm 5 years old. Include everything, don't assume I even got the initial basic steps right, because I'm not even sure that I did at this point.

That sucks about losing all that work.  What's weird is I did a test host reboot the day after posting this and the guest suspended.  Strange. so maybe it works sometimes
