Re: What is the Powercli command to find vsphere clients in powercli (is the a parameter that is specific to vsphere client?)

In order for your script to work you have to be logged into the viserver  (i.e $global:defaultViServer(s))

I think i just answered my own question. One has to know the names of  $globaldefaultViServer(s) to connect to vm farm

You don't know what to connect to  - you wont connect

Re: VMware – Unable to connect to the mks login (username/password) incorrect This error message is presented while you open console of virtual machine in vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client.

The main cause for this would be that the ports required for the console are blocked in some way (either blocked by your LAN or workstation but more likely on the host side).

Make sure that the host firewall is not restricting the connection :

Configuration tab > Security profile > Firewall > Properties…

Not sure what you are asking.
Do you mean a VM with the same Displayname as an existing VM?

Yes, with the same display name.

You can use the New-VM cmdlet, just make sure you specify a different yellow folder (the Location parameter) than the one where the first VM is located.

Switching back to 12.5.2 fixed it for me and updating again to 12.5.4 fixed it.

Writeable Volumes vs UEM configuration

$

So if writeable volumes captures all my "writes" to my VM C:\ drive and captures my user configuration data...

 

How is this different UEM configurations ?  If I have writeable volumes enabled, doesn't this make the user data backup part of UEM obsolete ?  OR is the thought process behind the design of writeable volumes for just special case users (such as developers )?

 

 

I'm not so interested in UIA, but just the user data that is stored on the writeable volume.,

Re: VSAN Stretched Cluster Open ports

Hello Sohill,

 

 

By 'Third Site' I am going to assume you mean the Witness Host/Appliance.

 

Short answer: No, you need all of these to be open.

 

Longer explanation:

The Witness appliance is a cluster member, needs to be managed by CMMDS and also stores data (witness components).

Thus it needs pretty much everything a standard vSAN node does + a few small extra configurations/specifications as Witness.

 

With regards to ports:

 

Virtual SAN Clustering Service

12345, 23451 (UDP)

Virtual SAN Cluster Monitoring and Membership Directory Service. Uses UDP-based IP multicast to establish cluster members and distribute Virtual SAN metadata to all cluster members. If disabled, Virtual SAN does not work.

 

Virtual SAN Transport

2233 (TCP)

Virtual SAN reliable datagram transport. Uses TCP and is used for Virtual SAN storage IO. If disabled, Virtual SAN does not work.

 

vsanvp

8080 (TCP)

VSAN VASA Vendor Provider. Used by the Storage Management Service (SMS) that is part of vCenter to access information about Virtual SAN storage profiles, capabilities, and compliance. If disabled, Virtual SAN Storage Profile Based Management (SPBM) does not work.

 

Virtual SAN Unicast Agent (to Witness)

12321 (UDP)

Self-explanatory as needed for Unicast from data node to Witness.

Re: Vsc backup error because vm is currently migrating

Damn.  That stinks.  Hopefully someone will fix it soon.  Its been a known bug for quite sometime.  I am not sure who should fix it since NetApp was blaming Cisco, but you use Dell and have the same problem...

 

It appears from my testing that vCenter 6.5b does indeed fix the migration error for me as well.  I had previously fixed the driver issue and that didn't change the migration message.

after update to 7.2, findAllForType not working with filter

$

I just updated from 6.0.4 to 7.2 (targeting a venter 6.0 server). I also updated the vro plugin with the version found in the documents section here.

 

Basically when I run the code below it returns no results whereas before it found items. If I remove the xpath stuff it find a bunch of stuff.

 

var vDSList = Server.findAllForType("VC:DistributedVirtualPortgroup","xpath:name[starts-with(.,'"+networkToFindVds+"')]");

 

My hack wrong around (short of reverting) is to just pull null for the second parameter and then use a for loop to try and find what I need.

 

Is this a known issue?


Re: How to safely shut down one side of a 2+2 node stretched cluster

Hello CygAL

 

Yes you can keep VMs running in the remaining site and yes this is safe (worst case scenario would be if something went down or broke on the remaining nodes VMs would go down until node/disk/disk-group recovered).

 

This a 2+2+1 cluster, is the Witness an Appliance and if so, where is it running (the host and the VM)?

 

As you could even just temporarily unconfigure the Fault Domains, evacuate all the data off the two nodes that are being moved and basically run as a 2+1 cluster until move is complete then re-add and reconfigure (though this would be hitting near max on datastore usage which is really not advised (stay under 80% at all times if possible))

 

If the move is not going to take long then the simpler method would be to just:

- Make sure all Objects are healthy (via RVC #vsan.obj_status_report <cluster> -t).

- Ensure no resync is on-going (via RVC #vsan.resync_dashboard <cluster>).

- vMotion all VMs to the remaining site.

(If CPU/Memory is getting pushed with this load, consider powering-down some non-vital VMs)

- Put the 2 Nodes to be moved into Maintenance Mode with 'Ensure Accessibility' option selected.

- Power them down and move them.

- Make sure the Physical Switch they are being attached to is configured correctly (same VLAN for vSAN, IGMP snooping disabled on this VLAN(or enabled and IGMP querier configured))

- Power the hosts on and check the usual (e.g.: cluster formation and membership: #localcli vsan cluster get, DGs mounted: localcli vsan storage list)

- Move some VMs onto this site to spread load back

- Data should resync.

- Check everything is accessible and healthy

Forgive me for the simple question as I am new at this but how can I determine what version of VMware View Manager am I running?

Thanks,

 

It's done now and the company in question is on their second day of operation with it.  It's running quite well from a Windows DC perspective.  I'm more concerned with the ESXi portion of the equation and what work the final synchronization option performs that I may be missing.  I've compared .vmx files from previously P2Vd servers and .vmx files from server currently in the synchronization phase to this .vmx and they look pretty much equivalent.
