Hi folks,
i am gathering few information here to expand an ESXi host that is standalone server.
It is a HP proliant server with RAID 5 and i have ordered additional disk to expand the existing RAID.
I am wondering if there is anyway for me to expand it without downtime?
Or if this not possible without downtime, perhaps a way to expand the existing RAID?
I could create another RAID but i dont want to go into that.
Appreciate your advise.
Cheers.
vRO comes integrated with vRA Appliance.
Can we design a new or custom workflow using vRO which is integrated in vRA ?
Any idea how I can relatemy Get-Snapshot information to the Get-VIEvent information to work out who created a snapshot ?
Thanks

Hi,
my goal is to create a reboot vm task guest os on a weekly basis every sunday night in vcenter
i have roughly 700 VM and i need to add a reboot task in vcenter for each vm
how can i automate the task creation for all vm ?
as far as i know there is no cmdlet command yet available to create vm tasks
is it possible ? perhaps there is a way around cmdlets commands....
any help will be appreciated
thanks

We are preparing to implement our first VCF solution and VMware have suggested the best approach would be to run the via VM on an ESXi management host rather than use a laptop for stand up.
Looking at the VCF documentation the requirements for this type of deployment seem very specific in terms of having an ESXi host configured with a vmk0 address of 10.1.0.200 and also a private physical switch connected from this ESXi host to the management switch for VCF.
My question is could an existing ESXi host be used to run the VIA VM rather than a dedicated one to avoid this overhead? If so, is there a way to change the need for this specific IP address requirement on vmk0?
The other point I’m looking for clarification on is the need for the dedicated private switch. If i choose to deploy the solution using a laptop i connect directly to my management switch and run the deployment but when i use an ESXi host to run via it adds this additional physical switch to the solution.
Please can someone help me understand the above.
many thanks
Bonjour,
j'ai installé la version ISO Custom de Dell (6.5 build 7967591) sur une carte SD (pas de soucis). Par contre quand je veux ajouter ma partition RAID5, elle n'apparait pas dans la liste des espaces à ajouter. La carte H740p est dans la liste des matériels compatible VMware, les disques sont bons.
Ce qui est étrange, c'est quand je lance l'installation de l'ESXi, ma partition RAID apparait O_o en plus de ma carte SD.
Le serveur a les derniers firmwares.
J'ai ajouté la liste des adaptateurs montés au démarrage et on voit que le driver lsi_mr3 n'apparait pas. J'ai fait la commande esxcli system module set --enabled=true --module=lsi_mr3 mais ça ne parait pas probant.
Si quelqu'un a une idée pour me dépanner. Je joins la liste des drivers installés
Résolu : j'ai appliqué la dernière mise à jour (ISO ESXi) trouvé sur le site du support Dell et cela a réglé le problème
Merci d'avance.
Hi all, I'm having a hard time with the bulk import tool of vRealize Automation 7.3
After I've done all the steps described here:
Import a Virtual Machine to a vRealize Automation Environment
Everything seems to be OK but the Virtual Machine icon is wrong. It shows a "generic component" icon instead the vSphere icon:
The first (and second) machine where imported with the CSV file. The last one was deployed using the vRA console. The first and last VM are associated to the same blueprint.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks a lot.
as shown in fig. attached below:
before this happened, i did re-provision all the tiles(from 0 to 3),
And also tried rebooting PrimeClient, Client VMs and all the workload VMs before executing the VMmark run.
(the IP mapped each VM in the primeclient's /etc/hosts file correctly and i could manually staf ping ping to the VMs via terminal)
but this strange issue occurred, which prevents the test from succeed.
"staxprocessstarterror signal raised. continuing job.", "full status unknown state", "guest info failures for the following machines"
basically the logs only tell the errors but not the reasons(neither stx_job or guestinfofiles...etc)
the test result folder is zipped and attached,
can anyone help???
Hi,
I have following custom group exported from vrops 6.7 and trying to import into another vrops instance 6.6 .
But it is failing saying "Failed to import custom group from: {resName=Storage Arrays, resKind=Storage Arrays, adKind=Container}, reason: Cannot find ResourceKind by provided ResourceKindKey". I believe it is not importing because there is no group type called Storage Arrays. Is vrops 6.6 will not create group type automatically if i import customgroup from 6.7?
vrops 6.7 CustomGroup Export File:
{ "customGroups": [{
"resourceKind": "Storage Arrays",
"membershipDefinition": {"ruleGroups": [{
"resourceKind": "StorageArray",
"adapterKind": "VceAdapter",
"rules": []
}]},
"adapterKind": "Container",
"autoResolveMembership": false,
"name": "Storage Arrays",
"description": "",
"started": true
}],
"customGroupTypes": [{
"resourceKind": "Storage Arrays",
"localization": [{
"resourceKindName": "Storage Arrays",
"locale": "en"
}]
}]
}
I use ioinsght to monitor large vsphere env to get the io size distribute, the esxi host and vmks quantity is much more ,ioinsght tools has limit and show error “maximum supported numer of selected vodka is 20”,how to set to break out the limit ?
Hello community.
I’m just trying to gauge if anyone has seen this very odd Persona Management behaviour before.
View 7.1.0 5170133
Basically, we have a linked cloned floating Windows 7 pool using PM for persistency. It works as expected for everyone except one user. This particular user logs in, then within minutes the profile breaks.
Looking at the logs, PM starts trying to read\write to a directory that does not exist. E.g. the correct share path is \\server\share\%username%\Profile.v2 buy very soon after login, PM is trying to access \\server\share\%username%\Profile.v2\%username% For some strange reason PM has appended the username to the end of Profile.v2\ which does not exist.
From the logs:
[0][06/08/2018 09:48:34:0752][VMWCreateDirectory ] Failed Opening Template Folder: \\Server\Share\%username%\profile.V2\%username%, 0x80070002
[0][06/08/2018 09:48:34:0752][RTOCreateFolder ] Failed Creating Folder: C:\Users\%username%\%username%, 0x80070002
Logs are littered with similar errors thereafter.
When all GPOs for the OU have been blocked, everything works until I re-enable the persona management GPO and it fails again.
There’s not much in the persona management GPO, in fact I simplified it to help troubleshooting:
Manage user persona: enabled
Persona repository location: enabled (\\server\share\%username%\profile)
That’s about it and like I say, these settings work as expected for everyone else bar one user. I’m starting to p1$$ is the wind!
I’ve had an open case with VMware and they’ve tried to resolve this but as this only affect one user they are not investigating this any further. I don’t necessarily agree that it’s not a View issue but understand their stance.
As a long shot, does this look familiar to anyone?
Is there a supported way to disable a view client from mapping in the default printer to view section? I found KB's out there that would seem like this should work but they don't see to. I don't want to disable this from the guest as there are situation I want the agent to do this functionality but inside the walls of my org I would rather handle local printers via usb redirection.

Question :
why do the instructions say to go to individual hosts and run this script? The script is supposed to be run from the vcenter server!
I manage ESXi 6.5.0 Update 1 (Build 7967591) under free license.
I would like to upgrade it to 6.7 (because better macOS client support). There is no .zip file patch yet.
Hypervisor is in restricted network where all HTTP comunication must go through proxy 10.1.2.3:3128.
First I disable firewall to be able to connect to port 3128. I verify this by running nc -vz 10.1.2.3 3128.
When I run either of these commands:
esxcli software sources profile list --depot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-d epot-index.xml --proxy=http://10.1.2.3:3128
esxcli software sources profile list --depot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-d epot-index.xml --proxy=https://10.1.2.3:3128
esxcli software sources profile list --depot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-d epot-index.xml --proxy=10.1.2.3:3128
I get:
[MetadataDownloadError]
Could not download from depot at https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml, skipping (('https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml', '', 'file not found')) url = https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
Please refer to the log file for more details.I am able to use http_proxy enviroment varible to use `wget` to download files from the internet.
Is there something wrong with my command or is --proxy switch broken in 6.5.0?
Has anyone got this to setup, I am trying to setup a test lab with
vsphere 6.7
horizon 7.5
appvolumes 2.14
uem 9.4
but I can't get the jmp server to register, it keeps saying
and I can't figure out the logs to see more. If I go to the jmp server with a webbrowers I see a 404, which I can't figure out is expected or not, I think so since this is probably just an server to make api calls to. I am using all self signed certificated, but I copied each of the verts to the folders listed in
but I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions would be great

Hi
I have created an appstack of Autocad 2018. When the appstack is assigned to a user Autocad is stuck on splashcreen with loading for approx 5 minutes.
I have tried to copy appdata, local and roaming, as well as the Autocad registry settings from the capturing user envrionment, but still no change. Subsequent startups have the same behavior.
Anyone seen similar behavior?

Hello,
I have poured over countless documents and articles about the new embedded ELM in 6.5 U2 and 6.7 but I have not been able to determine if ELM is supported between an embedded PSC deployment and an external PSC deployment.
I have a vCenter 6.5 U2 deployment with an external PSC and another vCenter deployment with an embedded PSC (will be upgraded to 6.5 U2 shortly). I know I can currently migrate the embedded PSC to an external one but I want to hold out on doing that for now, if I can.
Thanks in advance.
So apparently our deleting of Horizon replicas at user logoff led to appvolumes storing a bunch of non-existent VMs and failing to sync them with AD - leading to "$||conflicted" machines.
Can i just purge these from the "computers" table in the SQL Database without consequences?
This guy seems to think it's no problem: Remove ghost VM from App Volumes database - vDrone
Any inputs?
Thanks
