parent image windows page file size???

May 11, 2017, 12:25 pm

I'm going blind reading article after article about how to configure Windows Virtual Memory.  In my case Windows 7.  I have a new created and optimized parent image and have set it with NO paging File.  For the most part things seem to be running very smoothly.  2 Cores and 8GB RAM for these VMs.  The heaviest users are crunching numbers using Excel, but for the most part we aren't doing anything super processor intensive.

 

I know this is one of those "It Depends" scenarios, but what are others doing?  What is a good way to test?

 

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Make SNMP send Recommendations with the Trap

May 11, 2017, 12:25 pm

In short way:

 

I'd like to have the "Recommendations" of an Alert to be sent with the SNMP trap. Is it possible?

 

Better explaining:

 

I already have the vRealize Operations SNMP plugin in place, finely sending the trap alerts to my event broker.

 

Traps are received and I have them filled with the information bellow listed, including some extended information inside the "vmwareAlertMessage" variable.

 

I'd like to know if is there any way to add a new variable to this list (like a "vmwareAlertRecommendation") or in last case, inside "vmwareAlertMessage".

Re: VMNAT.exe in syswow64 - malware?

Hi,

 

VMnat.exe is indeed from VMware and -to my surprise- it is actually running from the Windows\SysWow64 folder.

 

That's considered bad practice to install any of your applications under the windows folder, so I can't blame you for wondering if it is malware.

 

You can verify if it is a valid binary by checking the signature.

Like so:

 

The VMNat file is the one that takes care about your internet connection that is being given to the VM.

It does this when you have selected "NAT: Used to share the host's IP Address" for your network adapter.

Re: When do action runs that populate input fields?

May 11, 2017, 12:33 pm

So here's the difference in what i'm trying to do with the package you provided. Thank you for that.

 

1. I do have an action that returns an array of strings. I verified that it works when i don't use "data binding" and just "predefined list of elements" with an action that returns the array.

 

My first input variable is called "host"

 

that's where the user chooses a rest host from a drop down list.

 

One is already selected when the presentation occurs. So the second input variable called "group" is populated with the groups from host "hq1".

 

If the user changes the "host" input to "dev1", the group input field doesn't change.

 

The difference here is that the values from the "host" input field do not exist in the "group" input field.

 

does that make sense?

vRO client/plug-in communication to vRO - Is it SOAP or REST API?

Hi,

 

Though it may sound a dumb question, want to get confirmed with vRO experts in this forum.

As per my understanding, the vRO client(client.jnlp)/plug-in for vCenter Web Client uses vRO REST APIs to communicate with vRO (the legacy SOAP APIs are no longer in use) - this is for vRO 7.2.

Re: Problom with Add all DC'S to APPVOL manager

You have to list them and use commas to separate them. Otherwise it will automatically pick the nearest domain controller. Here is the exact wording from the user guide:

 

Domain Controller Hosts (Optional) 

IP address (10.98.87.67) or FQDN (dc01.corp.example.com). You can also provide the virtual IP address of a load balancer that is used as the front-end server of the domain controller. This option provides High Availability (HA) capability for connections to ActiveDirectory.

You can add multiple domain controller hosts; use commas to separate the names of the hosts.

Important

If you do not add a domain controller host, the system will detect the hosts that are available and connect to the nearest domain controller.

 

 

Hope this helps,

Re: LACP for NSX hosts?

Hi,

 

It depends on your network topology and Cluster design.

 

In my deployment I ended up with two clusters, one Edge Cluster and one Compute Cluster, all of the existing Distributed Port Groups belong to the Edge Cluster and the Compute Cluster communicates via NSX Bridges.

 

In this design I couldn´t use LACP on the Edge Cluster but I´m using LACP with 4 ethernet´s on the Compute Cluster :

 

http://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/nsx/vmw-nsx-network-virtualization-design-guid…

 

 

 

I did this months ago and it seems like years ago! NSX is wonderful but it´s quite the rabbit hole, I´ve struggling with so many other issues that I barely remember all of the reasons behind those design decisions I made.

 

I do remember I wanted to use LBT and ended up having to roll that back when I came across that above matrix.

 

Good luck.

Issue with SRV-IO

I have a strange issue with SRV-IO.  I had SRV-IO up and working without issue, then I plugged in a PCI video card to test out some functionality, and SRV-IO stopped functioning.  I removed the PCI card, but SRV-IO still does not function.  Anyone have any ideas what would cause this to happen?

 

ESXi v6.5.0 (Build 5310538)

 

I can provide any other information required.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit

 

A little further information.  So it seems that PCI passthrough is actually  still working but all the statuses look messed up when I look at the status list for the PCI devices.  Attached is what the view looks like.  Everything that says Active is actually working but all the statuses show either not capable, or in the case of the LSI controller it says disabled even though it is working.

VSAN 6.6 config assist questions

Hello. I've got a few questions relating to warnings I'm getting in my Configuration Assist.

 

1.) Controller disk group mode: I was hoping to use a SuperMicro SMC3108 controller for my hybrid array. This controller is certified for all flash, but not hybrid... will this be supported? (VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search)

 

2.) I need to do a driver update for an Intel P3700 PCIe NVMe. I would like to use the new the update software button, but it's greyed out. Is it because this is an Intel device and not specifically Dell/HP/etc that the update software option is greyed out? (VMware Compatibility Guide - ssd)

 

3.) Controller firmware (see below screenshot)

a.) I've got an Avago 3008 onboard controller that I'm running RAID1 SSDs for my ESXi install, current firmware shows NA, and unknown if firmware is certified; so while I'm not using it for VSAN, it is on the HCL (VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search) how come it's not being picked up?

b.) My Intel P3700 PCIe NVMe (see point 2 for HCL entry) is showing a warning for having firmware 8DV10171, and recommending 8DV1CP01, but the one I'm running is on the HCL, and the one it's recommending is not... any thoughts as to why?

 

Any help / guidance is muchly appreciated. Thanks!

If you don't assign a vmnic for the Management Network, you'll have no network connectivity to the host, i.e. you will not be able to open the GUI.

You could probably create a symptom definition for vMotions, and then create a view (list type). The view can be used in a report, which you could run on-demand or schedule.

So here's what i'm doing.

 

When i use a predefined list of elements, this is the presentation. And if i change Appliance, the Group Name doesn't change which is as you described.

 

Screen Shot 2017-05-11 at 3.08.34 PM.png

 

when i use a data binding with the exact same OGNL action being called, this is what i get

 

Screen Shot 2017-05-11 at 3.05.06 PM.png

 

So i know that the action is returning an array of strings because that's showing up properly in the first image.

 

I'm not sure what i'm missing.

Hi,

 

The plug-in in vSphere Web Client uses vRO REST API to communicate with vRO server.

 

vRO Client (client.jnlp) uses an internal private API to communicate with vRO server. It is neither REST nor SOAP, but more like RMI over HTTP.

Ok Nice and Dandy,

 

But required or not required, how do we add the private network nick and vm kernel, do we need to assign it a specific vlan?

 

I have been trying to implement this thing and I cannot figure it out how to add the second nic as a private nic.

 

Can anyone have an in detail doc. the VMWARE kb 1513 cannot be found!

Thanks for the screenshots, it is clearer now

 

In this case, the proper presentation property to use is either Predefined answers or Predefined list of elements. Not Data binding.

 

Its value should look something like GetAction("com.some.module","myaction").call( #host )    (assuming your action is called myaction and it is defined in module com.some.module)

ViewAgent V6.1.1 against View Connection Server 7.1: TLS version?

May 11, 2017, 2:01 pm

Hi all

Our VDI environment runs on VMware View V6.1.1 - for Connection Servers and ViewAgents in production.

Now we are doing some Tests with Horizon V7.1 - I always thought that ViewAgents <V6.2 are only "talking" TLS1.0, which is disabled on the Horizon V7.1 Connection Server per default. I know I can change that in the registry (see below), so Connection Server V7.1 accepts traffic from TLS1.0 ViewAgents (which is essential during migration). But I have not done this 2nd step in my lab yet. I just updated Connection Server V6.1.1 to V7.1 and all my ViewAgents V6.1.1 are still "talking" fine with the new Connection Server. I see the correct status from all Agents (Available, Connected, etc).

Why the "old" ViewAgents V6.1.1 still communicate fine with the new Connection Server V7.1 without modifying the registry? Any ideas? Do I miss something here?

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

 

 

 

 

BTW: Referenced RegKey for Connection Server mentioned above: HKLM\Software\Teradici\SecurityGateway\SSLProtocol=tls1.2:tls1.1:tls1.0 (According KB2130798)

Thanks for the details. This is very helpful!

 

For vRO plug-in I can check with the browser developer tools and see that it's REST API calls to vRO Server.

Is there a way to see what the vRO client(client.jnlp) is using as you mentioned more like RMI over HTTP, any suggestions, thoughts are welcome.

Done that,

 

Make sure you have Host prepared with NSX it creates DvPortgroup for SWVTEP i.e. vmk1, you have correct nic teaming policy and sequence set to LACP rather than just uplinks.
