View client and dump files - how to disable them?

$
0
0

I'm a desktop engineer and looking into the situation that Horizon view client 4.4 can generate a lot of dump files. I noticed these files are stored in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VDM\Dumps as well in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VMware\VDM

 

These files are around 400-600 mb each and one user had about 40 GB of dump files. Another user has about 20 GB of files.

 

Is there a way to limit the number of files generated? Or otherwise, to disable the creation all together?

 

See screenshot below of one user with a number of files in a short period of time

 

Thanks.

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.

Hi Friends,

 

Customer request to connect client vRO server to new vRO server and run the workflow.

 

So I have connected new vRO server using HTTP_REST plugin and  I have created Rest Operation to execute the workflow.

 

When i try to invoke the Rest Operation , I am getting status code :302. May be i am missing something in content.

Note :- I tested same thing in vRO Swagger, able to trigger the workflow (status code 202).  https://192.168.1.23:8281/vco/api/docs/index.html#!/execution-controller/startWorkflowExecutionUsingPOST_3

Kernel panic in OSX guest on Fusion 10.0.1 when configured for 3 or more CPU's

$

I have had a lot of kernel panics when booting OSX guests if I configure 3 or more cpus.  It never panics with 1 or 2 cpus, rarely happens with 3 cpus, and almost always happens with 4 or more cpus.  Stragely it does eventually boot after many failed attempts.

 

I don't see the problem on an ESXi server so I'm guessing it may point to a hardware problem on my laptop (Late 2016 15" MBP w/ touchbar), but the machine passes all Apple hardware diagnostics.  Is it possible this a known problem with Fusion?  Is it possible to set cpu affinity to prevent Fusion from using certain cpu cores?  I believe I have a directory full of boot failure logs but I forget where they are written.  Should I attach a bunch of them?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Edit:  The same behavior occurs on Fusion 10.1.0 as well as 10.1.1.  It appears that several other people experience the same issue, so it may indeed be a bug in Fusion.

Hi everyone!

 

I'm trying to convert CentOS 6 VM from Xen 6 to vCenter 5.5 by VMware Converter Standalone 6.2

Everything is ok but the percentage is always 1%. When I opened the log, I got an error:

 

"error: class Vmacore::Ssl::SSLHandshakeTimeoutException(SSL Exception: Operation was canceled)"

 

After I try to increase SSLHandshakeTimeout in /etc/vmware/hosts/config.xml and /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy/config/xml from default 20000 miliseconds to 120000 miliseconds, the error is still happened. Somebody help me to fix this error, please!

 

My log file is attached below

 

Thank everyone!

Send an email to creator of VM

$

Hi guys,

 

I'd like to send an email to the person who creates a VM in Vsphere. We're currently running on 5.5.

 

We have a security group in AD which allows administrative access to the Webconsole. I'd like to send an email to the admins when they create a VM to remind them of certain actions that he or she has to take. I thought about setting up a custom alarm to do this, because I couldn't find a predefined one. In the alarm i'm able to send a notification email, but this email doesn't include the text (reminders especially for our environment) I require. Is there another way of setting this up, for instance through "Run a command" and then point to a script? Have any of you experimented with this or is there an easier solution that I overlooked?

 

Thanks!

 

KR,

 

Kim

Зависание VM при миграции других машин с этого же хоста

$

Добрый день!

 

ПО:

VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 8169922 на трех хостах ProLiant DL360 Gen9

VCSA 6.7.0.11000 Build 8546234 Essentials Plus

 

Проблема:

Есть три VM с ОС Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. Располагаются на одном хосте. Параллельно с ними работают еще машины на Linux. Если начать миграцию любой машины на другой хост (без смены СХД), то машины на Windows зависают - 0 Гц потребление ЦПУ, полная загрузка по памяти и никакой реакции в консоли. Зависшие машины нельзя перезагрузить или выключить, не помогает даже "kill -9" в консоли ESXi, только ребут всего хоста.

Подскажите, в каких логах что посмотреть, т.к. в логах Windows видно только, что машину аварийно перезагрузили и всё.

"Лишние" cp-replica

Добрый день, господа.

Хотел бы спросить вашего совета, касательно моего вопроса, который заключается в следующем.

Во первых пользуемся системой Instant Clone Pool на базе Horizon 7, а так же vsphere 6.5.

Как все мы знаем, работает данная схема таким способом.

Не буду долго расписывать, думаю это и так люди знают.

Суть в том, что в качестве наследства мне остались "не неприкаянные" cp-replica на моем LUN, которые бесполезно занимают место.

Выглядит это таким образом.

Имеем две боевые реплики, по каждой на пул рабочих машин.

Далее лезем внутрь LUN, и видим там реплику которой я ранее не нашел в самой сфере.

Вот как выглядит "боевая" реплика.

 

п.с. в качестве эксперимента попробовал переименовать не используемую реплику, к каким то последствиям фатальным это не привело, но удалять пока что побаиваюсь.

Потому прошу совета более опытных игроков. Спасибо.

I migrated my VCSA from 6.0 to 6.5 and now and i have a strange message when i try to deploy an OVA : This version of vcenter server does not support Deploy OVF template using this version of vsphere web client.To deploy OVF template, login with version 6.5.0.0 of vsphere web client.

Of course i already use a 6.5 version like i am connected to vCenter 6.5.

I tryed to to remove stored data, clear cache, change brower, remove CIP 5.5 et 6.0, reboot VCSA and finely change PC.

I tryed with root and administrator@vsphere.local.

Always the same message (popup)

This issue has been unresolved for at least a month - and I do not see any response - even "We're looking at it."

 

There is a missing path to the files needed to remove the previous .msi file and thus the updated Tools cannot be installed until the previous version is removed.
