For some unknown reason when opening a VM console window they all open like this, no matter what VM i try to start. How can I fix this so that I can use it? Cause with this I am not able to do anything.

are you able to RDP OK in this VM.

if so, uninstall VMware tools and re-install them.

are those Windows 10 Machines only ? or you face this issue with all the Operating systems baed VMs in your environment.

Re: how can calculate admision control

Distributing objects to group disk Virtual san

0

Respected community! This question is distributed VM objects in the disk group VSAN ?
For example, a two- node cluster VSAN (+ witness node ) in each node has multiple disk groups, each disk group is composed of the SSD drive (no matter what the volume ) , and for example four 300gb HDD SAS capacity . As will be shared VM objects in the disk groups on both hosts (FTT = 1 , Number of disk stripes per object = 1 ) if the VMDK is equal 500gb ?

Re: how can calculate admision control

this is my main question i see this calculate it said

(total host cpu ) - (total vm cpu) / total host cpu    (24-7) / 24 = 70%

 

and for memory

 

(total host memory ) - (total vm memory) / total host memory   (21-6) / 21 = 71%

 

now we have to use  70% for cpu and 71% for memory in percentage of cluster resource reserved as failover spare capacity ?

 

i have read many article and see many formula but realy confused which of them are ok ?

Host profile remediation failing

0
0

One for the forums, as I can't find the error on Google or Bing, and being a home lab it doesn't really warrant a support call...

 

I've set up Host Profiles in my vCenter server, extracted from a host (192.168.2.51). I've added other hosts to the cluster and successfully remediated those, and changed settings in the host profile and successfully remediated the source host. But then I decided to remove and add the 192.168.2.51 host back using its FQDN, which seemed to require me to disconnect it from the VDS's that it was attached to. Having then removed it from the cluster and rebooted I added it back and went to remediate it to get the port groups back the way they were and I got the following error:

 

The remediation cannot proceed, because the deferred settings cannot be extracted from the selected hosts.

I can't find any mention of this error online, and I've tried resetting host customizations, checking host profile compliance and rebooting the host and the vCenter server (and again in varying combinations). I suspect it may be due to the fact this was the host I pulled the host profile from, and have now effectively renamed by adding it back using its FQDN, so the answer is probably to extract a new host profile from a different ESXi host and remediate using that - but I thought I'd first throw this out there in case the solution helps someone else, and the solution may be a good learning point, which is the whole reason for a home lab in the first place.


Re: OpenGL issues (crashing) on Ubuntu 16.04

I'm having a similar issue in Linux Mint (Sarah) based on Ubuntu 16.04. Trying to open a contact in the Evolution (MUA) contact list crashes the application with the following:

 

openjdk version "1.8.0_91"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1-b14)

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

VMware: vmw_ioctl_command error Invalid argument.

Aborted

 

I don't know whether or not the OpenJDK notices are related or not (I suspect not). Im running OpenGL 3.0 and other posts suggest that this problem may be related to the OpenGL version distributed with 16.04.

benefit of run horizon view

dear all

 

Hi

 

i have run vmware horizon view in local company and not connect to internet or outside of company and read many article about that but realy could not understand what are differents between horizon view (virtual desktops) and simple virtual machine the other means what are differents between 7 virtual desktop and 7 virtual machine that we can connect to that with rdp?

 

i could just find these difference are these correct ?

 

1 - with horizon view can fastly create new vm

2 - if we have more than 100 desktop virtual and want install for example office on all of them can install on main vm and recompose that for install on all of virtual desktops

3 - now if i create virtual desktop also can connect to that with remote desktop connection now what is difference this with a simple virtual machine?

4 - what security has horizon view

 

Best regards

Babak

That command will very likely produce an empty file as you should not have SERVER-AD_1-00001.vmdk at all.
Count the zeros in the filename !

Re: LUN not accessible vsphere

It happens occasionally that a LUN looks empty after a power failure.
Be careful with your next steps.Probably your VMs are still there and can be extracted if you dont make mistakes.
Please create a VMFS-header dump with
dd if="/dev/disks/naa.600140574ab763dde2dfd493adb910de:1" bs=1M count=1536 of=/vmfs/volumes/some-other-datastore/day3_noc.1536
Download the *1536 file, compress it and provide a download.
With that info we can tell you how serious it is.

Update: A second host that I removed and added back in using its FQDN also failed with the same error. Creating a new host profile from a different host did not work either.

I think, it's possible to read-only a LUN from storage device.

About VMDK, try to mount it as read-only disk.


Re: Wi-Fi Bridge Issue

Hello,

 

There's a fair chance that your administrator has locked down the WiFi so that only a select number of wireless clients can connect.

Most common is that a WiFi access point locks down on known MAC addresses of hardware that is within the company.

As you add your client as bridged the WiFi sees the MAC address of your virtual machine and not from the Macbook itself.

 

So my suggestion is to ask the network administrator of your network to add the MAC address of your virtual machine as a known WiFi client.

Re: VMWare Fusion 8 running very slowly after upgrade from trial to full version.

Hi, sorry about the wait.  I was wrong about the RAM.  It doesn't really do anything to help the virtual machine.  I think it is slow because I am running the macOS Sierra beta.  I will try downgrading back to OS X El Capitan and see what that does.  I have had multiple issues with programs on the beta software, so I think that it will help to downgrade.

Two machines work with TeamViewer, but I am unable to set up TV on the 3rd PC. Trying to install a new VM seems to be broken too long before I can even install VM Tools. I was trying to do a KODIubuntu test and that is Ubuntu based and I was not able to even install this as the screens was fubar. Trying to install a new W10 installation is the same the screen is fubar and I am not able to even install a new VM....

 

I tried installing vSphere client again. but that did not seem to solve this problem.

Nuevo HS22: Sin IBM Serial Atacched SCSI Disk

Buenas tardes.

Estoy instalando un nuevo servidor ESXi 5.1 sobre un HS22 en un blade S de IBM. He actualizado las versiones de firmware antes de la instalación. He usado la imagen personalizada descargada de IBM. Después de instalar y configurar el servidor, no consigo ver el almacenamiento compartido con los otros Servidores. He revisado la configuración de Zoning y estos nuevos servidores están incluidos en la configuración (ya estaba aplicada antes de instalar los servidores).

He reinstalado con otras imágenes, incluso con una 5.5 y sigue pasando lo mismo.

¿Qué más puedo comprobar? ¿Existe algún bug sobre esta versión? ¿Hay que modificar algo en la BIOS o configuración a nivel de comando de ESX?

 

 

*********

Good afternoon.
I am installing a new ESXi 5.1 server on a blade HS22 IBM S . I updated firmware versions prior to installation . I used the custom image downloaded from IBM. After installing and configuring the server, I can not see the shared storage with other servers . I have reviewed the configuration of Zoning and these new servers are included in the configuration ( it was already applied before installing servers ) .
I have reinstalled with other images, even with a 5.5 and is still experiencing the same.
What else I can check ? Is there a bug on this version? Should we change something in the BIOS or command level configuration of ESX ?

Ok, this has been resolved, a bunch of errors (outgoing ssh not allowed, wrongly configured kernel subnet, firewall not open due to missing user authentication) were the issues.
