Re: Storage vmotion a VM with multiple datastores

$
0
0

Hi Luc,

  The first step - "Stop the VM" - makes this approach not feasible. I looked at your other approaches: "Relocate-VM" and "Move independent disks", and I think they are more applicable to deal with with my issue.

  I will utilize your code as the foundation, wrap it with add'l tasks to fit our project's objectives, test it out and post the result later. The Relocate-VM is little bit abstracted for me ... I dont know when the "copy or storage vmotion" happens and how I would be able to control that activity. But that's what testing for!

  In short, appreciate the lead ... just that it's technically not the answer yet.

It is possible that there were some orphaned snaps

there was nothing to consolidate.

Sometime in the distant past (in a galaxy far) one server crashed and was rebuilt

all the VMware files had been and were on local datastores  (bad)

then a long time passes, and I am hired.

Now time to fix this, so I setup a shared storage, fix another dead drive on the server

and successfully move 6 other servers to shared storage, but not this one.

 

did find a _1-000003.vmdk and a _1-00004.vmdk  from back in 2015 17.4MB but Provisioned size 262GB

after several attempts did remove them from the folder (now stored separately)

The server is now running without them in the folder

so since I couldn't move the entire thing

used advance options and started with the second drive.

Success

So then moved the server info - again success

then attempted drive c:\ . - Failed.

Yes Server is shutdown

 

So server log/ nvrma/ /vswp/ inshared storage - check

Drive 2 (with DB) in shared storage - check

Server running - check

 

Drive 1 - still in old location, without suspect files

 

Time on This Job - Three months.

Its still a bit weird.   DNS does work, but I get an error on an attempt to use the resolved address.

[root@vega kmp]# nslookup www.google.com

Server: 192.168.1.1

Address: 192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:

Name: www.google.com

Address: 172.217.5.100

 

[root@vega kmp]# ping 172.217.5.100

connect: Network is unreachable

 

To fix it I also  had to add the default route to the routing table.

 

I think this may be a Fedora 20 issue.  I am going to upgrade.to Fedora 25.  At some point.

If the snapshot disks are not attach to the VM, it is not a matter of concern. I would suggest you to try VMware standalone converter to perform a V2V

migration of the VM where traget VM datastore will be your shared datastore.

Errror en VM

Buenas tardes, he instalado la version 6.5 del Esxi en un equipo HP Proliant ML110 Gen9 con 16GB de ram, un Raid 1 con 2TB de disco e Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 v4 @ 1.70GHz. En esta VM procedi a crear una maquina virtual con un disco de 1.5TB para los datos y un disco de 300GB para el Esxi. La misma funcionaba bien hasta hace poco que presenta un error parando toda la maquina virtual y me toca reiniiar todo el equipo. Si alguien me puede ayudar a resolver muy agradecido.

 

 

Good afternoon, I installed the Esxi version 6.5 on an HP Proliant ML110 Gen9 with 16GB ram, Raid 1 with 2TB of disk and Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E5-2603 v4 @ 1.70GHz. In this VM I created a virtual machine with a 1.5TB disk for the data and a 300GB disk for the Esxi. The same worked well until recently that presents an error stopping all the virtual machine and I have to reiniiar the whole team. If someone can help me to resolve thank you very much.

Re: Could not connect 'Ethernet0' to virtual network '/dev/vmnet8'

From the log, it appears that vmnet8 is not running. Check from Terminal using ps -aux | grep vmnet8 or ps -ef | grep vmnet8; there should be processes related to vmnet8 running. It looks as though somehow the vmnet8 related processes have crashed.

 

I'd suggest that you reset the VM networks back to default in the Virtual Network Editor and don't edit the networks related to vmnet1 (the default host only virtual switch) and vmnet8 (the NAT virtual switch).

vRA 7.3 and custom properties from Orchestrator Actions

$
0
0

So I'm in the process of redoing most of what I did in vRA 6.2 in 7.3.  Right now I'm trying to determine if I can use the new blueprint designer or if I still have to use XAAS blueprints.  In 6.2 one of our bigger use cases was having dropdowns that were dynamically populated via an Orchestrator Action based on the user's business group.  I see that now in 7 you can create custom properties that execute an Orchestrator Action (which is cool).  But as best I can tell you either have to type in the input values statically or define them as an additional custom property that a user can select.  In our case I don't want the user to be able to pick it .... I want to pull his business group and give him a list of options.  Are there hidden properties that can be used there to reference the requestor, busgroup, etc like there are in XAAS or no?

robocopy was my first thought for this piece of work.

 

I wonder if the storage array could perform a copy between the old and new RDM  then we just reattach it

Re: VMware Workstation 12 Bridging problem with vmnet0

I just plugged into a (wired) corporate network (phone is disconnected) that I know works with bridging. I configured the VM to use bridging, then started it up. Everything works as normal.

 

The question is then: why does bridging not work when tethered to the Android phone?

Release notes have been updated to reflect that VIDM is free. Still looking into entitlement issue.

We are using LTSB as Pro has all the built-in apps that when removed causes stability issues with the desktop. The LTSB version is pretty stable in our environment.

Great news! Thank you for helping with getting this information confirmed, Steve! Although, it would be nice to have LI integration with vCenter SSO in the next releases.

Exactly the same issues with 6.5.0.1104 Build 4633956

 

Glad I found this thread!

 

This is causing issues with the VVD DTK deployment which the DTK cannot complete the configuration.

hi Sreec,

your reply is very much appreciated!

 

but i just discovered that i confused myself;

the configurations were all ok...

cause i just double checked the test VM to ping the gateway 192.168.1.1 and both 10.101.6.25, 10.101.6.26 without a problem.

the pings all replied normally, which achieved my initial expectation.

 

the final problem is that the VM couldn't reach 8.8.8.8, unable to touch the internet.

(the 10.101.6.0/24 was designed as public ip)

 

i believe the static route and next hop do not need to configure, neither do the DHCP

the "route redistribution table" didn't help too.

 

any ideas?

 

thanks for the reply again!

When I create a VM (any guest) at first it works fine and all networks are connected properly. After a few OS restarts Workstation starts having the "Could not connect" problems. The log is attached.

 

What is going on? I'm trying to learn both VMWare and Server 2012/2016 for certification purposes and keep running into this problem.

Re: Moving to new VM by reattaching large vmdk

Is there a possibility to actually "move" large vmdk into new VM folder so that I can delete old VM?

 

Do you recommend attaching the D drive during VM creation or after?

 

Are there video tutorial available on attaching existing drive?
