Hey all - have a new 7.4.0 HA environment setup for testing.  I have a blueprint setup with a custom property "Hostname" and fill it out during the request... yet the VM is still deployed in vCenter with the machine prefix info.  I can't figure out why it's ignoring this.  Any thoughts?

NetApp VSC error in 6.5 vSphere

Need suggestions on the below.

 

I’m trying to unregister NetApp VSC from vCenter and I’m getting this error:

 

The unregistration process failed with the following message:

Unable to connect to VMware Profile Driven Storage Service. Please verify it is running correctly on vCenter server.

 

To me it looks like the Profile Driven Storage Service is running though.

 

Without restarting the service will it be possible to unregister the NetApp VSC.

Import Data with Extra Spaces

$
0
0

I'm running this script to input a csv and get VM data:

 

#Simplified version

$report = @()

Import-Csv -path c:\inputfile.csv -UseCulture | foreach{

$vmname = $_.vmname

$report += $vmname

}

$report | select vmname |  export-csv c:\outputfile.csv -notypeinformation -useculture

 

The problem is that if the input file has a column called VMName with no spaces AFTER the column title, everything works fine, but if there are spaces after the column title, it won't pick up the vmnames in the input file.  Every time someone different creates the input file, they may add an extra space before or after the column title, and mess up the results.

 

How can I make the import-csv statement read the column titles even if there are spaces before or after the column title?

 

Thanks!

The VM is unprotected

I have a Cluster and enabled vSphere HA.

 

I have two ESXi hosts in the Cluster.

 

I have a VM running on one of the ESXi host.

 

But the VM is unprotected.

I want the VM become protected.

 

What should I do?

A faster way to retrieve all the VM's associated to a portgroup

$

I have a script that I use to add/remove portgroup to a large set of VM's. I'm curious if there's a faster to get the list of VM's associated to a port group.

Right now, a command like this

Get-VM |Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName -eq "PortGroupName" } 

Takes a long time as it is running for each VM.

When I log into VSphere, I see all the VM's under a portgroup right away, is there a better way through PowerCLI?

RP with SRM for VMware Cluster

$

The question is recover point for storage replication whether we can replicate specific datastore luns with SRM combinations using current recoverpoint rather than whole vmware clusters.

Example: 4 lun allocated in vmware cluster and i want to replicate 2 luns only not all 4 luns so that my VM in 2 luns can be recovered on 2 nd site not all vms in the cluster. Would that be possible?

 

I have seen the below two lines in the SRM Best practices document, that makes me confuse.

 

Placeholder datastores must meet certain criteria.

For clusters, the placeholder datastores must be visible to all of the hosts in the cluster.

You cannot select replicated datastores as placeholder datastores.

Миграция VMFS 5 > VMFS 6

Здравствуйте.

Нужно переместить vm на другой датастор, дабы переделать текущий. Но стандартная процедура перемещения показывает ошибку.

Итак:

vCenter SA 6.7

хост VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5969303

Datastore1: VMFS 5.58 | Block size 8 MB

Datastore2: VMFS 6.81 | Block size 1 MB

 

При переносе выключенной vm ошибка: Error caused by file /vmfs/volumes/ххх/хххх.vmdk

При переносе включенной vm ошибка: Failed waiting for data. Error 195887107. Not found.

Как я понимаю основная проблема в различных размерах блоков на датасторах.

Я пробовал переносить с Datastore1 на NFS датастор, ошибка та же. Так же пробовал переносить с Datastore1 на другой датастор с VMFS 5.58 но размером блока 1 MB, ошибка та же.

Как решить проблему?

Hi,

 

We have two versions of same path in vsphere_client_serenity folder.

 

com.vmware.vsan.health - 6.5 and 6.5-1300

 

When we try to register our plugin, we were facing issues, however after removing the older version of the above, our plugin works fine.

 

Can you please let us know what is the impact of having two versions of same pacakage and is it alright to remove one of the packages.
