Hello!
I am working with a script to deploy a VM from a template, but am running into a couple issues.
Issue 1: the VM is not deploying with the customization of network information
Issue 2: the Vm is not deploying with the preferred hostname
What is working, the VM will deploy with the template hardware settings, of course. However, note a couple items in the template are set as below and not applying during deploy
Here is the script
# Get source Template
$Template = Get-Template -Name 'RHEL 6.9'
# Get the OS CustomizationSpec
$OSCusSpec = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name 'RHEL VM'
#Get Cluster
$tgtClusterName = 'CLUSTER7'
$cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $tgtClusterName
# Get a host within cluster
$VMHost = Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Random
# Get datastore
$dsName = 'ds*-datastore7*'
# Find a datastore with most space
$Datastore = Get-Datastore -Name $dsName | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending | Select -First 1
# Deploy Virtual Machine
$VM = New-VM -Name 'testvm1p02' -Template $Template -VMHost $VMHost -Datastore $Datastore
Get-OSCustomizationSpec $OSCusSpec |`
Set-OSCustomizationSpec -NamingScheme Fixed -NamingPrefix 'testvm1p02'
#Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | `
#Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress 192.168.1.101 -SubnetMask 255.255.254.0 -DefaultGateway 192.168.1.1
I have the NicMapping lines commented out because all this is doing, also for the -NamigScheme, is hard-editing the OSCustomizationSpec and nothing more. I have to go in and change those settings back.
Looking at a few other threads similar to what I am doing, I am not able to wrap my head around what I am missing in the syntax. / order / args.
Any help is appreciated!
Recently I installed ESXi 6.5 (free license) in home-lab PC.
I also have installed a quadr 4000 nvidia GPU in one of my PCI ports for extra GPU use.
Note: my monitor VGA is directly connected to my new nvidia port.
Through a little googling I found that in order to give access the new GPU card to a VM you should add the new PCI port to that VM using "Configuration PassThrough" Button. But in my case the button is disabled (Not clickable). I found this tutorial Pass-Through a NVIDIA GRID K1 to VM on ESXi 6.0 - 414 - YouTube which had the same issue but he fixed it by a little changes on his bios but the bios mode that he is using is different than mine, as you might know I am using Asus UEFI Bios Utility which I couldn't find some of the options that shows in the video.
All replies are much appreciated:
Hello,
I have had this error on one of our servers that states "Lost connectivity to the device mpx.vmhba:32:C0:T0:L0 backing the boot filesystem /vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba:32:C0:T0:L0. As a result, host configuration changes will not be saved to persistent storage.
All VM's have been running without an issue. My concern is if I would reboot the host, will it boot?
I went into the Dell R620 iDrac and under Removeable flash media it shows IDSDM SD1 and IDSDM SD2 are both Good and redundancy status is full. How is it possible that the cards are good but VMWare is not seeing it?
Do you think its just a glitch?
I need to create a flow to manage physical network interfaces with standard vSwitches.
I can't find any sample or code to do it with orchestrator (using vro 7.2).
How can I create a custom script to assign one physical nic to one virtual switch?
Thanks.
Best regards.
I am running Fusion 10.0.1 on Sierra 10.12.6. I have a High Sierra (10.13.1) guest VM that runs fine until I attempt to update it to 10.13.2. After the update reboots the VM, it hangs with a black screen and white Apple. There is no progress bar or spinning indicator. I've allowed it to sit for several hours with no change. If I reboot the VM in this state, it hangs again after accepting my FileVault password. This behavior has persisted through all of the betas of 10.13.2, the final 10.13.2 update, and a full install from the 10.13.2 version of the Install macOS High Sierra app. The only way I can get the VM working again is to restore from a backup made prior to the update. What can I do to get the 10.3.2 update to install on the VM and reboot without hanging? Thanks!
Hello,
I am trying to install an ASync Intel driver downloaded directly from the VMWare Website. Unfortunately, after downloading the file, and transferring the offline bundle zip, I cannot install it.
I use the following command on the ESXI 6.5 server itself.
esxcli software vib install -d /tmp/VMW-ESX-6.5.0-igbn-1.2.0-offline_bundle-4646458.zip
I get this error:
[root@localhost:/etc] esxcli software vib install -d ~/etc/VMW-ESX-6.5.0-igbn-1.2.0-offline_bundle-4646
458.zip
Installation Result
Message: Host is not changed.
Reboot Required: false
VIBs Installed:
VIBs Removed:
VIBs Skipped: INT_bootbank_igbn_1.2.0-1OEM.650.0.0.4240417
I have also tried to put the server into maintenance mode using the following command:
esxcli system maintenanceMode set -e true
And then running the esxcli command again.
Hi,
I am trying to remove the Server vCenter 6.5 from my Windows 2016 server.
Some how, the installation has become corrupted.
A uninstall from the programs folder ends up with an 1603 error on VCSServicemanager.
Tried to upgrade to the newest version with the same error.
Now i am stuck with a half installation of vcenter.
Is there a way to mannually remove this installation?
(No worries about keeping the database or config, i just need vCenter for my VEEAM backup and managing my host)
Regards,
Dimitri
I remember this being a huge pain in the butt before. In ESXi 5.1 I need clone multiple VM's and then copy them to a USB attached external hard drive. I do remember this being possible, but I don't remember how to do it.
First thing is getting the VM Host to recognize that the external hard drive is actually there. I have a VM guest on that server with a USB Controller added, but no luck getting the host or the guest seeing it.
Hi,
I am working on a script to shutdown VSAN in the case of extended power failure in which case my UPS is going to run out of power and I don't have a genny.
I have borrowed bits of a powercli script and can now shut down my VSAN, however there is one issue. Documents say that you should not shut down if there is object re-sync going on. The issue is that object re-sync can take a very long time, longer than my UPS will hold up. So, if there is re-sync occurring, what are my options? Is there some way to pause it safely and shut down? Or what if I do shut down and it's re-syncing, will it not resume on power up?
Thanks
Bill
I just upgraded to Workstation 14, on Win10 1709. When I boot up a Windows 10 VM, in the lower right corner I get constant errors:
The connection for the USB device 'validity sensors (WBF) VSF300' was unsuccessful
I'm NOT mapping this USB device into my VM. It IS listed under removable devices in the menu bar, but nothing is selected. This error message appears every ~5 seconds and lasts for a couple of seconds. Very distracting, but appears to be harmless.
How can I get rid of this message?
Experts!
I admit I am not a very advanced in app volumes mainly because I don't find a lot of resources on how to become an app volumes wizard. My setup
Dual App Managers (Load Balanced) pointing towards Always-On SQL
New Windows 7 Gold Image with Office 2010 & Lync 2010 & Adobe Reader included. Office Versions are 32 bit on 64 bit Windows 7.
Issues solved (but not sure why)
Project 2010 Appstack attached - Office Reconfigures or when opening Sharepoint wants to install something from MSOCache. But not on all users.
Visio 2010 Appstack attached - same behaviour
Visio Viewer (in Gold Image) Problems
Please note: no license errors
----
Solution to those: Office repair installation and reinstalled the Appstacks, opening all office products and opening Sharepoint to ensure all components are installed.
Remaining Issue:
Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.17 AppStack attached and opening Word, it wants to reconfigure. Only when opening Word. Redid the process from above and so far no solution.
So far, my solutions have been guess work as I don't 100% understand what is going on and why it is happening. I was wondering if anyone else has seen these problems and has a solution to this?
However, I'd be even more interested on a more generic troubleshooting approach for issues arising when AppStacks are attached to a VM, because I foresee more of these issues coming up.
h
I'd be happy for any help you guys could provide and also grateful for any resources I could read to get a deeper understanding of how app volumes works and how the merge process works. For instance, I observed that when a user logs in with the Visio app stack installed, everything works fine. The user logs of, the VM is not refreshed, and the next user doesn't have a visio entitlement, therefore requires Visio viewer, in some cases Visio viewer will break. I would have expected though that all traces of the Visio appstack are removed once the vmdk is unmounted? I have now started to refresh on log off as a consequence.
Thanks for your support in advance.
Hello,
I need to automate in PowerCLI one more Step during Org VDC setup, the "Edge Gateway Creation".
At the moment it looks like the only way to do that is directly via API (via PowerShell in my Case):
vCloud Air Documentation Center
Has anyone done that before in PowerCLI / PowerShell or maybe a better way that via API?
Kind Regards,
Markus
Hi!
Is it possible to get the mac address of an virtual desktop with View PowerCLI?
get-desktopvm -pool_id<Pool-ID> unfortunately returns only IP Address
Thx for help
Axel M.
My interpretation of the documentation is that such a VM would be as secure as one having no network adapter at all, but it doesn't hurt to double check to make sure I'm not somehow exposing the host/other guests/etc. to threats without being aware of it...
Hey, has anyone enabled know if it is recommended to enable the UCS Adapter Policy for VXLAN Offload for VIC 1340s?
I have an scenario:-
PSC01 is configured by New SSO domain
PSC02 is configured by New SSO domain
Both of these PSCs are in two different SSO domains. Question is:- Is it possible to change SSO domain of PSC02 (Joining in to SSO Domain of PSC01)?
I'm having a problem upgrading some HP blades in my environment from ESXi 5.5 to ESXi 6.0. The servers in question are BL460c Gen 8's. The installed cards are: HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 554FLB Adapter, and 2 x HP LPe1205A 8Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-Class. They have the 2017-04 SPP applied to them.
We are using Virtual Connect to provide networking with a pair of HP VC Flex-10 Enet Modules and a pair of HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Modules.
I'm using Update Manager to perform the host upgrade against the HPE ESXi 6.0 customised image. At no point does Update Manager warn there is going to be an issue with missing drivers. vCenter is running 6.0 Update 2, and I'm trying to use HP ESXi images at the same update 2 revision.
The upgrade seems to work fine. However, when the host reboots into ESXi 6.0, after a few minutes I get a text screen with the following error "There was a problem with the network device specified on the command line. Error: No NIC found with MAC Address....xx:xx:xx:xx"
From the research I've found its suggesting that the network driver isn't being loaded, hence why it can't find the NIC. However, I've done host upgrades on other HP blades without any issue. The only difference is that instead of Virtual Connect, those enclosures are fitted with Cisco B22 networking. The blades themselves have the same 554FLB network card along with a 554M Mezzanine card. But I really don't see how Virtual Connect could cause this issue.
Would appreciate some help and advice as I'm out of ideas.
Many Thanks.
Hi, I've just migrated a Customer to Horizon 7.3.2.
He had enabled local drives mapping (for local drives and USB drives), it stil works but now we see the mapping 2 times for a same drive in Windows Explorer: one in "drives and devices" like before and one new in "network drives" with a drive letter.
Is it a new feature of Horizon 7.3 and can we disable it?
Thanks.
