NAT crashed with Workstation Pro 12.1.0

December 17, 2015, 2:27 am

Yesterday I upgrade to Workstation Pro 12.1.0 on my Linux host. I mainly run Windows VMs and connect to these via Remote Desktop. VMs get NAT LAN access and therefore I configured NAT port forwarding to the Windows Remote Desktop ports. This setup worked great for quite some years.

 

With the update to 12.1.0 (from 12.0.1) this is broken. The Windows guest has network access (e.g. it can access SMB shares in the network) and everything seems to be fine, all the necessary processes (e.g. vmware-natd) are running, '/usr/bin/vmware-networks --status' says everything is running. Then I try to connect to the Windows VM via Remote Desktop (I'm on a Mac and use Jump Desktop as client). BOOM. Connection failed and vmware-natd crashed. Now vmware-networks says that the NAT service is not running.

 

Today I downgraded to 12.0.1. and the exact same setup works without any problems.

 

So I assume something changed in the NAT area. Am I missing some configuration options or is there a bug in the new vmware-natd?

Get recurrence-pattern and recurrence-cycle of scheduled tasks

Hi there,

 

I am trying to fetch all scheduled tasks of vCO inside of a Scriptable Task like this: 

var tasks = Server.findAllForType('Task'); 
for each (var t in tasks) {   // print information  // ...
} 

 

In addition I need information about the schedule (i.e.recurrence-pattern and the recurrence-cycle).

However, I can't find these information as attributes of the Task object:

task.png

Is there any way to achieve this?

 

thanks in advance

Random reboots

February 4, 2016, 12:19 pm

I'm curious if anyone has had random reboots on VM's with multiple app stacks attached? We are setting up a new environment to migrate our 5.x users to and seem to be stuck with this issue. I put in a support ticket with VMware a couple months ago, but got nowhere. The logs don't show anything, and I can't get the Windows 7 machine to stick memory dump settings.We are running Horizon 6.2, ESXi 6.0b (with the patch for slow login, but the problem was before we upgraded as well), App Volumes 2.10 (previous 2.9), and UEM 3.7 (previous 3.6). It seems to happen randomly with 2 VM's (only 2 people working in this environment), but the strange thing is it can go weeks without an issue and then it will happen daily. No consistent behavior before it happens, but it seems to happen the most when reconnecting from a zero or Windows client. I'm at a loss and looking for anyone who might have experienced this same behavior. Here's the last response from support, and of course I thought it was related to App Volumes because it ceased for about a month once I upgraded to 2.10. However, it's back and there's no explanation for it. We aren't using writable volumes, and no app stacks have been changed or added. I appreciate any help and apologize if this isn't in the correct forum. Thanks!

 

Hi Jason,

 

Thanks for uploading the logs, I checked system events & found the Kernel event ID 41 but there was no Stop error code information. May I know the App Volumes version you are using and also could you please configure complete memory dump on the image and capture the dump file ?

 

Using complete memory dump file, we should be able to determine the root cause of the issue.

 

System Event Snippet :

Time : 24-11-2015 00:49:14

Event 41, Kernel-Power

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Details :

BugcheckCode 0

  BugcheckParameter1 0x0

  BugcheckParameter2 0x0

  BugcheckParameter3 0x0

  BugcheckParameter4 0x0

  SleepInProgress false

  PowerButtonTimestamp 0

 

 
Please refer to below Microsoft article to configure complete memory dump.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969028 - How to generate a kernel or a complete memory dump file in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2

iSCSI Multipath esxi hypervisor 2nics to Dell Ps4100 2nics - How many paths?

January 18, 2016, 2:42 am

Hi at all.

 

I am trying to configure a multipath for the iSCSI connection that I have made between an esxi hypervisor 5 and a storage DELL PS 4100. This ISCSI traffic goes through a dedicated VLAN, numbered 110. I have the storage in one rack, the esxi hypervisor in a second rack. Racks are connected with optical fiber through ISL. Switches used for this implementation: 4.

 

DELL PS 4100:

1 controller with 2 nics (eth0 eth1). Each connected to two different switches of rack B. Between these switches I have an ISL (Inter Switch Link). eth 0 has its own ip, the same for eth 1. DELL uses a Group IP that groups logically eth 0 and eth 1.

 

ESXi Hypervisor is connected to switches of the other rack in an identical manner. Even these two switches have an ISL between them. 2 vmkernel port group in the same vSwitch tha has two uplinks connected to it. Each port group uses actively a vmnic different from the other one. The other vmnic, the one not used, is set Unused adapater in the port group properties. I have done the port binding vmnic - vmknic in the iSCSI software adapter for both vmnics.

 

 

Now, how many paths I would have to expect to see when I put in the dynamic doscover the Goup IP address of the storage?

 


Thank you very much.

vCenter VCSA 5.5.0U3b VUM Plug-In not showing up and no "Plug-In Management" menu

Hi!

My vCenter Appliance in a Lab runs v5.5.0U3b and I have installed VMWare Update Manager from the VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.5.0-3254792-20151201-update03.iso on a Win2012R2 Server, using the integrated SQL Express DB.

Install runs fine and also checking the Logs, everything looks pretty fine. Checking the vmware-vum-server-log4cpp.log I can see it is pulling my VM information from vCenter. No errors in any of the logs.

 

But when I open my vSphere WebClient, the Plug-In is not there. Should be on the Home-Screen under Monitoring, but it isn't.

Googling around I could find some hints to check, if the Plug-In is enabled. Fine.

So I click "Administration" and wanted to check the "Plug-In Management".

But it is not there! Under the Solution-Section there is just the "vCenter Server Extensions" menu item but not the "Plug-In Management":

 

Any idea?

Thank you in advance!

Nuovo storage iSCSI non mission critical, nuova VLAN?

December 21, 2015, 1:11 am

Ciao a tutti. Ho un cluster vSphere 5.5 di due nodi creato con HP StoreVirtual (storage locali replicati in Network raid 10 visti dai nodi come se fosse un target iSCSI unico). Devo aggiungere nella mia rete uno storage DELL sempre iSCSI da usare come repository, test e VMs non-mission critical.

 

Attualmente il traffico iSCSI del cluster è su una VLAN (port based) separata da tutto il resto. Il traffico iSCSI del nuovo storage è meglio farlo viaggiare su una VLAN diversa o lasciare che tutto il traffico iSCSI viaggi sulla stessa VLAN creata per il cluster?

 

Grazie mille,

Francesco

ciao, avrei bisogno di un'informazione.

Ho acquistato per la mia società una licenza Essential Kit, creando  un account con tutti i riferimenti aziendali richiesti.

 

Ora, devo acquistarne un'altra, per un'azienda sempre del nostro gruppo, come funziona per la gestione dell'account e License  Keys..conviene registrare un nuovo account con una nuova mail e quindi una nuova profilazione per le licenze da associare, oppure è meglio aggiungerle

all'account attuale?

v5.6 Web Manager - save configuration?

Perhaps I'm missing it, but is there a way to save my configuration of the v5.6 Mirage Web Manager? For example, in the CVD Inventory view, I like to remove the CVD Policy, Chassis Type, and OS columns, and add IP address, and Volume, and move columns around. I can save that configuration in the Mirage MMC, but have not found a way to do it in the Web Manager.

ESXi host freezes every couple of hours

Hello, world!

 

It's my first post on this forum and the beginning of my journey with ESXi.

Recently I have built a new home server, hardware-wise it is using:

  • ASRock X99 WS board
  • Xeon E5-2630 v3
  • 2x 16GB DDR4 2133MHz Samsung ECC Reg RAM
  • A few HGST HDDs, and M.2 Samsung SSD to store host and VMs

Software-wise, I decided to go with BTRFS, so I am virtualizing Rockstor (basically CentOS with a newer kernel) in ESXi 6.0.

 

I tested a few other options, but decided to go with that.

 

However, my ESXi host freezes after a few hours (last time it worked for a little less than 3 hours).

 

I have checked knowledge base and have found article 1017135

Here are my results:

  • Both host and VM freeze (VM services do not run, vSphere client disconnects, neither host not VM are pingable)
  • Problem is persistent

 

  1. NumLock stops changing on the keyboard after host goes unresponsive
  2. Disk lights stop blinking, they are simply glowing
  3. (I am not sure if it is applicable to me, I am not using HA clusters)
  4. How do I trigger NMI state? / What do I do next?
  5. Unfortunately I do not have any other device that supports ILO, DRAC or RSA. Of course if it is an essential part in troubleshooting, I will get my hands on something.
  6. Usually reboot helps to solve the problem for a short period of time (however at the time of writing host entered unresponsive state right on boot)
  7. HOW do I collect diagnostic information?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am a little bit confused with support solutions in knowledge base.

 

Thanks!

Lev

VDP 6.1 check if CBT is being used

We're having a customer doing a backup of a VM with a couple of TB's.

But looks like CBT is not being used, scanning the disks takes more than 24hours and we had to extend the backup window:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2109662

 

But after an initial backup, the next backup takes again more then 24hours but there are almost no changes on the disks.

looks like cbt is enabled. From the log: "scsi0:5.ctkEnabled = "TRUE"
"

 

Is there anyway to check if cbt is being used after an initial full backup.

 

Regards,

John

VMWare workstation on ClearCube M1020w

I am running into issues trying to run VMware workstation 12 on a clearcube m1020w workstation.  I see memory issues and VMs are crashing.  I have been looking for support on this but can't seem to find anything useful.  I look in the compatibility matrix for ESXi and don't see clearcube as a popular platform for VMWare.   My clearcube has 16G of ram and I am trying to run four small (2G of mem) VMs on it.  Does anyone have any advice or can anyone point me to some documentation that could help?  Thanks in advance.
