Re: LLOG technical informations?

$
0

Use at your risk, but these were provided by VMWare support when I needed to slow down resync due to LLOG increasing nonstop:

 

vsish -e set /vmkModules/vsan/dom/MaxNumResyncCopyInFlight 50

 

50 is the default value, lowering this number will slow down resync, apply to all hosts, no reboot necessary.

 

I have also run into the LLOG issue increasing where LLOG could be something like 30-40gb and PLOG still at 1-2gb. This happened when upgrading my cluster from 6.0 build 4510822 to 4600944. I never got a good clear answer from support, they said not enough cache capacity but I called BS since I had every VM on my cluster powered off and no resync activity and this was still occuring, seemed like some like of LOG leak. I am running r730xds with H730s which have a problematic history, could be some problem with the raid controller too even though i'm running HCL firmware/drivers. I couldn't get support to assist me quickly enough so eventually had to destroy the affected disk group as the node took more than 12 hours to LLOG recover (causing missing objects to resync) and the affected disk group still wouldn't mount after coming back online.

 

Error during LLOG leaking looked something like this on the affected node:

vmkernel.log:

Link Aggregation / Load Balancing

$

Hello,

 

I am looking for some assistance/guidance in setting up link aggregation between vSphere 6.0 and cisco switches.

 

I have a single host with 8 nics, trying to setup a 4 links together to have 4Gb connection.

 

I can't figure out for sure if this can be achieved just using the standard vSwtich or if we need to use a distributed switch

 

I've read a few vmware articles and other blog posts but still can't figure out if its possible to do on a standard vSwitch and how.


Can someone please provide some real life examples and shed some light.

 

Thank you!

@steve_goddard,

Definitely want to upvote this issue. I just switched from VirtualBox to VMWare and it's memory and performance is significantly better, however the sharing issue between guest and host needs improvement. I'm having the same issue with Visual Studio as others have mentioned here. How can the community get your management to see this as an issue.

 

Thanks

Hi Jaytee75,

 

  I tried on my ESXi host and found that even shared smart card is disabled on ESXi. So, you must have used 'remote connect' instead of 'local passthru'.

Windows Login over Screen Sharing

I have VM Fusion 8 installed on a mac mini (running MacOS Sierra. That mac has a VmWare virtual machine (Windows 7 Home). When I click in the password field to login to windows, none of the keystrokes appear. I have had no other problems with screen sharing. Do I have to change a setting, is this a known bug or...?

 

Thanks,

We see it and understand the issue. Fixing it isn't as simple as saying 'make it go faster', it's complicated stuff we're doing, but please rest assured that this is an area that I am focused on guiding the dev team to improving, along with building new and compelling features while addressing performance gaps in other areas.

I cannot disable VSAN 6.5 stretched cluster after deleting the witness host appliance. It also wont let me add the witness host appliance back.

 

The error I get is;

 

The object 'vim.HostSystem:host-52' has already been deleted or has not been completely created

 

Any ideas on how to fix?  I know I should of disabled the stretched cluster before I deleted the witness appliance.


View Planner 3.6 - Failed to generate PDF report

Morning,

We are looking to use View Planner 3.6 to load test some clusters. We want to run a local test on 3960 VMs. The gold disk has been prepared as per the user guide (Win7x86, Office 2010, Firefox 7, Reader 10) and as a test I ran the standard benchmark 5i across 10 machines. They completed but there was an error in generating the report. I ran the standard benchmark 1i across 5 machines and got the same error:

.V2 to .v5 (VDI View profile migration)

$

Hello,

 

 

Our organization currently has approx 700 VDI desktop running Windows 7 Ent x64 (.v2)

Vmware Horizon view 6.x

 

We looking to move to Windows 10 ENT LTSB 2015 (.v5)

Vmware Horizon view 7.x

 

The Horizon VDI view environment is setup as floating desktop. Users dont get the same desktop each time they login, they get different desktop and their profile settings are saved to a shared network path (\\VIEWFILEshare\Persona-profile-share\username.companyname.V2)

 

We are attempting to migrate VDI persona profile from Windows 7 (.v2) to Windows 10 (.v5).

 

File structure:

\\VIEWFILEshare\Persona-profile-share\username.companyname.V2

\\VIEWFILEshare\Persona-profile-share\username.companyname.V5

 

We have used the proper tool to migrate the persona management profile but once user logs in into the new environment (.v5) the user settings are not carried over, screen flickers, etc...

 

We followed this documentation front to back, left to right, up to down, inside to outside, to no avail.

https://pubs.vmware.com/horizon-62-view/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/view-62-profile-migration.pdf

 

Opened support case with VMware no luck so far.

 

 

Been reading around the web to just rename the user profile from .v2 to .v5 then have the user login to Windows 10 but it does not work in our case. It bricks the Windows 10 Start menu search, and other things don't work. 

 

Have any of you migrated from v2 to v5 ?

Importing OVA into VCSA 6.5 fails - The operation failed for an unknown reason

$

I'm trying to import an OVA via the vSphere Flash Client. The VCSA is running 6.5 GA, however I@m getting the following error.

 

The SSL certificate is imported and as you can see from the attached screenshot, there are no SSL warnings in the browser.

 

The VCSA was configured with the IP as it's system name. I think there is another issue and the SSL warning is just a guess at the problem.

 

Has anyone else seen this behavior before? The particular OVA file imported fine with 6.0. I'm unable to import it via ESXi because it needs to be done via the VC due to an error trying it that way earlier.

 

 

The operation failed for an undetermined reason. Typically this problem occurs due to certificates that the browser does not trust. If you are using self-signed or custom certificates, open the URL below in a new browser tab and accept the certificate, then retry the operation.

UEFI Secure Boot support for guest Linux VM on Workstation 12 Pro

Hi,

Does Workstation Pro 12 or ESXi 6 support UEFI Secure Boot for guest Linux VM (RHEL 7.x or Cent OS 7.x) ??

I am trying to create a guest Linux VM image using either ESXi or Workstation Pro 12, that has UEFI Secure Boot enabled.

In VMWare Workstation, I enabled 'Boot with EFI instead of BIOS' setting in the Advanced settings for the guest VM.

But Still I am not able seeing the Secure Boot getting enabled in guest VM.

 

How can I get the secure boot enabled for the guest Linux VMs using Workstation Pro or ESXi ?

 

thank you,

Kumar Talinki

Re: two questions about VMRC

1. The power operations should be available and working in VMRC if you have the relevant permissions on the host.

 

2. Yes, you can mount local or remote ISOs. To switch between the two types, open the Virtual Machine Settings dialog, click on the CD/DVD drive, and choose local or remote from the dropdown list.

vCenter Converter Standaloneを使用して仮想マシンのV2Vを実施しましたが、以下のエラーにより失敗しました。

 

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

 

44%で停止している状況です。

以下の対策は実施してみました。

・SSL暗号化を無効化(converter-worker.xmlを編集)

・移行対象のWindows仮想マシンのファイアウォール無効化

 

何か情報がありましたら教えていただけると幸いです。

 

何卒、よろしくお願い致します。
