WANTED: low level tool to merge delta.vmdk into flat.vmdk
Sometimes it would be helpful to have a non-automatic manual tool to merge  snapshots.
Example:
- no ESXi host is available to create a dummy VM

- vmkfstools -i is no option because it can not write into the basedisk and creates a copy

- graintable is partly damaged in the delta

- ....

The core function of the tool / script would parse the snapshot metadata of the delta file and would output a file with one dd command for each graintable entry.
Outputfile may look like:

IF= input delta.vmdk
OF=output flat.vmdk
BS=blocksize

dd if=$IF of=$OF bs=$BS conv=notrunc skip=X seek=Y count=Z # GT-entry = 1

dd if=$IF of=$OF bs=$BS conv=notrunc skip=X seek=Y count=Z # GT-entry = 2

dd if=$IF of=$OF bs=$BS conv=notrunc skip=X seek=Y count=Z # GT-entry = 3

...

Once  outputfile is created it can be used to:

- inflate a delta to a new flat.vmdk

- merge a delta  into its parent flat.vmdk

- "repair"  delta.vmdks if metadata is partly corrupt

.

It is possible that a script / tool that does that already exists - if yes please post a link.
Tools like the vmware-vdiskmanager from the VDDK-kit already include similar functions - but I have no idea on how to use it like this ...

Any ideas welcome ....

I am getting the same error it looks like everyone else is getting. Cannot link VMware id... Please Help!

Hey folks, can't find much on this error after scouring the web and many blogs. Basically the Certificate replacement process (Option #2) looks like it's completing successfully then hangs at 85% during  the " Starting Services" phase, which then gives a message about services failing to start  due to a timeout and proceeds to roll back this process however also fails and I'm left with a semi-bricked appliance unless I restart.

Here's what I'm doing:

I have a small lab on VMware Workstation 12 running ESXi 6.5d and vCenter appliance 6.5d (I've also tried A, B patches to see if this is a new bug introduced in version D) along with Horizon View 7.  I want to have the vCenter appliance act as a "Subordinate CA", replace the root cert with the appliance using a Certificate generated by my CA server, and Automate the replacement of all Certificates, including ESXi hosts done by VMCA with Signed CA certs. I have a single tier PKI using SHA 384 and 4096 bit key.

I've spent several days/nights looking over many articles and videos and I don't appear to be missing any Critical step with the setup of my Certificate Template for vSphere 6.0 VMCA, configuration of my CA, or the Certificate Signing process itself, but something is wrong somewhere.

What I've done so far. vSphere 6.0 Environment with Custom Certificates (External PSC) - YouTube

1. I've installed a Server 2012 R2 Root CA in Enterprise mode with Certificate Web services and have created the template per guidance of this article and this video.

2. I've patched the vCenter to the latest build which is Version D Build #

3. I've duplicated the Subordinate CA Certificate template and have customized it per VMware guidance

4. I'm using VMCA Cert Tool to generate the CSR

5. I am able to successfully generate a certificate based on this CSR

6. I'm able to upload the cert chain and key file provided by the vCenter appliance into the cert-tool during the process for Option # 2 from the main menu

7. the Process executes and looks to be updating and replacing all of the certs using the Certificate i've generated for VMCA

8. the process fails @ 85% when attempting to start the services again

9. I've exhausted most of my troubleshooting and knowledge in this area

However, I'm running into this weird error when attempting to run through the process. As described in this Article.

Replacing a vSphere 6.x Machine SSL certificate with a Custom Certificate Authority Signed Certificate (2112277) | VMwar…

As soon as I get to 85% starting services, it hangs for several minutes and then errors out and rolls back everything. Upon examining the logs, I can find no clear indication of what is failing outside of services not starting, which does not make sense is the fact that the  certificate replacement was successful per the logs, why would a failure to start these services cause the entire process to roll back?

The thing that boggles me is that I can confirm this in the /storage/log/vmware/vmcad/certificate-manager.log, I receiving messages that would lead one to believe that the certificates were successfully replaced along the way.

Any thoughts folks? 

I received the email inviting me to deploy Skyline, but I get this error during setup when I try to link my account:

The My VMware account or EA number you have selected is not associated with a Skyline enabled entitlement account. Please visit https://www.vmware.com/support/services/skyline.html to signup to be a part of our next adoption wave.

I have same issue.

I recently exported the names of all of our virtual machines, then organized over 400 of them in different groups. I neglected to also export the memory so I'm trying to import an csv get the memory and export that to a csv. That way I can just copy and paste the memory from one spreadsheet to another. I think I'm missing something simple but I can't see it I am trying this

$servers=Import-Csv C:\Users\sjesse\Desktop\sdcvms.csv

$vms=@()

foreach ($server in $servers)

{

    $vm=Get-VM -Name $server.Name select Name, Description, PowerState, NumCpu, MemoryGB

    $vms+=$vm

}

$vms | Export-Csv "C:\vms.csv" –NoTypeInformation

and I keep geting this error

VM with name '<name of the server>' was not found using the specified filter(s).

The name in the error is the exact name I see in vcenter, and was an exported by using get-vm to get all of the virtual machine names using this.

Get-VM | select Name | Export-Csv -path “c:\vminventory.csv” –NoTypeInformation

so I can't see why I can't find the VMs.

Hi people,

I have implemented vCenter Server 6 WEB appliance and tried to import self signed SSL Machine certificate, in order to access on vCenter web interface using that certificate for HTTPS. Certificate was signed by Windows Server 2008 CA with template configured using these instrustions: Creating a Microsoft Certificate Authority Template for SSL certificate creation in vSphere 6.0 (2112009) | VMware KB. Also, I tried to import Comodo Trial Positive SSL certificate with same issue - couldn't import it.

I used the VMCA script for certificate management and also tried to import them manually using this procedure: vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center. In both cases, process crashed during vmware-vpxd service restarting process. VMCA script exited with rolling-back old certificates. After trying to manual replace certificates using commands certool and vecs-cli, I tried to start vmware-vpxd service using command service vmware-vpxd start. It produced following output:

virtual:~ # service vmware-vpxd start

vmware-vpxd: VC SSL Certificate does not exist, it will be generated by vpxd

Hey All--

Wondering if anyone has some info on this.  Looking to better understand the ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfo.UpgradePolicy options.  What each does, and long-term impacts.  Hoping folks can chime in here.

For passers-by who aren't familiar with what I'm referring to, I'm looking to better understand the various ways of upgrading the VM Hardware.  In the past, you always had to power the VM off before you could upgrade the hardware, or schedule it with VM.  Later they gave you the "Schedule Hardware Upgrade" option within the webclient which waiting until the VM was powered off then back on. Now it seems in the webclient, there's a new(er) option when editing a VM's settings for "Upgrade > Schedule VM Compatibility" (with a sub option to only upgrade on GuestOS shutdown).  Selecting this later option (edit vm settings > upgrade > schedule vm compatibility w/o sub-option for guestos shutdown), appear to upgrade the VM Hardware now at reboot rather than full shutdown/poweron.

So now comes the questions...

When doing this via PowerCli, I understand there are three (if more feel free to add) options for the 'ScheduledHardwareUpgradeInfo.UpgradePolicy' ReconfigureVM method.  'Always', 'Never', and 'onSoftPowerOff'.  What I'm unclear on, is if I use this method with 'Always', to set the version key and reconfigure the VM, does this mean that from now on, every time the VM reboots, it will upgrade hardware if an upgrade is available?  Or, is this a one-time shot like you'd get from doing the same thing with the webclient?  If this isn't a one-time shot and setting the UpgradePolicy to 'Always' actually does mean always after reboot if available, then the final question is, how can I achieve the same result as the webclient way and not impact future version upgrades being forced?

Thanks!

I just upgraded the my vCenter server from 5.5 to 6.5 appliance. Now when I try to use the console some of the console the mouse disappears when moving it into the field where the OS resides. Any ideas

Hello, I would like something like this:

$VMS = get-vm
$report = @()
foreach ($vm in $VMS) {
$row = "" | select  "VM","DNS Name",PowerState,CPU,Memory,DiskProvisioned,DiskUsed,Cluster,Environment
$row."VM" = $vm.Name
$row."DNS Name" = $vm.Guest.get_HostName()
$row.PowerState = $vm.PowerState
$row.CPU = $vm.NumCPU 
$row.Memory = $vm.MemoryGb
$row.DiskProvisioned = $vm.ProvisionedSpaceGB
$row.DiskUsed = [Math]::Round($vm.UsedSpaceGB,2)
$row.Cluster = ($vm | get-cluster).Name
$row.Environment = "PROD"
$report += $row


 }


 $report |Export-Csv C:\Users\gemela\Desktop\report.csv -NoTypeInformation

Also add info like: Version, Vmtools status and IP,

I would like to set this report to create new file (with date) every day (append) , example: report_2018_02_16.csv

Thanks for support

It has been a few days of trying to configure my Skyline appliance.

I am getting stuck at the linking of my account step.

Followed the referenced link to https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2006983

Not really useful information, but I did check and validate I can log in to MyVMware without an issue, and still have full administrative privileges on the account for my company.

Not much else is listed.

How do I proceed?

There is an updated version of the Code Stream plugin for Jenkins that adds the ability to trigger Code Stream pipelines as a post-build step at https://github.com/inkysea/vmware-vrealize-codestream-plugin

We are working towards integrating that with VMware's github repo as well as Jenkins' plugin repository.

Do let us know if you need help with setting it up on your Jenkins.

I've been having a really tough time upgrading from 7.1 to 7.5 on my external connection server, the internal connection server works fine.  I think the breakdown is on the LDAP sync beacuse that is usually where it fails plus i found this in the logs:

Property(C): LDAP_UPGRADE_ERROR_MESSAGE1 = LDAP is not ready for an upgrade. Error in reaching the server [VDM_LDAP_ERROR_SERVER_NAME] to get replication status. Please resolve the issue and try again. To get more information, run the command "repadmin /showrepl [VDM_LDAP_ERROR_SERVER_NAME]:389"

I did however upgrade to 7.1 > 7.4 and then to 7.5 that worked fine and everything is up and running now.  Has anyone had this issue?  I have logged a support case to see what they come back with.  The documentation says you can go right from 7.1 > 7.5

Is there a way to update a "Managed Machine" s Reservation from Powershell/powerCLI?

I have found the PowervRA module, which offers me the Get-vRASourceMachine where I can see the ReservationName assigned to that machine, but I don't know how to change it. We have moved hundreds of VMs to new clusters and I don't want to do this manually :)

Thanks!

VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program, access all directories the program uses, and access all directories for temporary files.

The VMware Authorization Service is not running.
