NSX vxlan VMs cannot reach each other via routed fabric
Hello Community
I'm designing NSX over routed underlay and stuck on bizzare thing that drive me into insomnia. I susspect i miss something trivial, but ture is that VMs cannot reach each other via NSX vxlan when sitting on pods separated by L3 fabric.
I pulled out summary of my infrastructure below plus HLD diagram
Pod - two racks in DC with pair of L2/L3 Tor switches
vCneter: 6.5U1
NSX: 6.4.1
Underaly: Nexus 9k
Topology
- L3 Leaf/Spine partial mesh
- two L2 Pods separated by L3 routed fabric
- NSX transport subnets routed between pods using OSFP
- vMotion and storage routed via L3 fabric
- vCenter managment streached between pods via cisco VXLAN
- inter DC is DWDM
- Latency is less than 0.5 ms
NSX transport layout
- unique vtep subnet per Pod
- same VLAN ID on both pod (local on each pod)
- Default gateways on TOR swiches per pod for NSX transport vlan
- VTEPs use vxlan stack poining to default gateway which is vlan transport SVI on ToR switches
- Single transport zone accross compute clusters
vCenter layout
- Sigle vcenter
- single compute cluster per pod
- streched managment cluster accross pods
- ESX hosts are dual homed - trunk
- DVS uplinks are A/S and explicit failover seetting as LB algoritm
Issue
- VMs cannot reach each over vxlan when placed in pods
- VMs can ping each other when placed on different hosts in same pod
Addons
- No errors accross all stacks (cisco, vcenter, nsx, storage), all green and happy
- VTEP IP pingable between hosts on vxlan stack
- MTU 9000 end-to-end
- NSX Controllers see vxlan and VMs
- ESXi hosts see controlers and vxlan stack
- OSPF proapgate both transport subnets
- ICMP packets coming out from ESXi hosts and then are not seen again
- When do trace from NSX packet arrive local host vtep and it knows about peer's vtep IP and nothing more happen next
Also when i move NSX transport vlan into cisco VXLAN (what basicaly streach this vlan between pods) VMs start to communicate.

Upgrade of 5.5 to 6.5U1 hosts
We have upgraded the vCenter in our test environment to 6.5U1g. The ESXi hosts are still on 5.5. Looking to upgrade the hosts to 6.5u1. What is the preferred method to do that (Update Manager, command line). Eventually in our production hosts, we will need to take the hosts down to patch firmware. Both of our test and work environments have the capability to do vmotion. Just want to simulate the process.
Thanks,

UEM Windows 10 Icon Locations
Already seen in other forums, but did not find any solution.
We are using VMware UEM 9.3 with Windows 10 (in this case build 1609), but the icon locations are not maintained.
The first time a user logs into a dekstop, and arranges his icons and logoff, then the locations are being save (somewhere), after loggin on again, these locations are maintained. After changing the locations again, log off an log on again, the first time arranged icons are where they where the first time. So after the first time logging on with a user it works, after that not anymore...
Already tried different logs...

temporary IP for vCenter migration
Hi,
Source: vCenter 6.0 on Windows Server 2008 R2
I'd like to migrate it to VCSA 6.5. My network does not have DHCP. In the Migration Assistant docs, it mentions about allocating a static IP to facilitate the migration. It also mentions reverse DNS lookup for this static IP must also be configured in DNS. My question is: does it matter what hostname/FQDN this temp IP resolves to?
Thanks,

Vmware Workstation 14.x on Linux breaks mouse over activation in X11 after 1-3 days
I have been using vmware on Linux since 1999, and I don't recall this ever happening before though it is driving me crazy. I use a feature of X11 called "mouse over activation" which basically switches windows(without raising one window above another) without having to click on them.
Starting with Workstation 14.x a couple of months ago after ~1-3 days of usage mouse over activation stops working for me. I run workstation with windows 7 full screen on one virtual desktop and I frequently go back and forth between that virtual desktop and the others(16 desktops total). I can't recall mouse over activation ever breaking for me in the 20 or so years I have relied upon it. Given vmware's interaction with mouse grabbing I am confident it is responsible for the breakage.
Another issue, that I am less concerned about is sometimes the mouse cursor gets trapped or stuck and my only resolution is to switch out of X11 (back to console) and switch back to X11 again, which resolves the issue, I am sure that is vmware related as well but is not a big bother.
Currently running workstation 14.1.1 on Linux mint 17 on a Lenovo P50 w/Nvidia graphics.
I was going to upgrade to 14.1.2 though the release notes make me think this issue is not fixed.
Instead, going to attempt to downgrade to 12.x now(never had a need to downgrade workstation before), see if that fixes it as 12.x was working fine for me before I only upgraded due to a black friday sale last year.
I see nothing in the search results for this forum about mouse over activation so I guess not holding my breath in the event someone else has seen this issue and knows a resolution.
thanks

Desktop Icon Arrangment Not Saving
I've created a config with the following settings and "Auto Arrange" has been disabled on the desktop:
[IncludeRegistryTrees]
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop
But this does not appear to be saving desktop icon locations. Every time a user logs off and back on, the icons are back to their default positions. Am I missing something?

Has anyone implemented Office 365 with linked clone pools?
We currently have Exchange 2010 and dedicated linked clone pools Win7. I've heard different stories but am wondering implementing Office 365 with linked clone pools has been successful. It seems it wants to activate it each time there's a recompose?

Esxi5.5のコンソール画面に「security.passwordqualitycontrol」と表示される
Esxi5.5にコンソール接続時、「security.passwordqualitycontrol」という文字列が表示され通常の黄色い画面が表示されません
F2キーを押下すると、通常のようにログインの画面が開き、Esxiの各操作メニューが表示されます。
/etc/pam.d/passwd
を確認するとデフォルトよりパスワードの要件が変更されているようですので、その旨示すメッセージ可とも考えていますが、
コンソール画面上に上記のようなメッセージが表示されるといったナレッジは今のとこと見つけられませんでした。
こちらは正常な動作なのかお教えいただけないでしょうか？
なお、
/etc/pam.d/passwd は以下のように編集されています。
password requisite /lib/security/$ISA/pam_passwdqc.so retry=3 min=disable,disable,disable,disable,8

Linked Clones resource reservation
Hello everybody,
We are using Horizon 7.4, ESXi 6.5 U2 and NVIDIA vGPU.
There are multiple Master-VMs configured (2x 8GB RAM, 1x 16GB RAM).
For some reasons they are just get deployed by Horizon when I use a fixed reservation for the memory-settings.
In general this would be fine, because we calculated and installed the required physical-memory (plus some additional) according the amount of users assigned to the hardware/pool.
So there should not be a problem with memory.
But unfortunately I can't run all of my planned VD-VMs because the infrastructure tells me, I'm not having enough Memory - but the ESXi-Host tells something differnt.
One reason is, the parent VMs are fully calculated into the resourcepool, so in my case 32GB of RAM is reserved but not really used (ergo wasted).
Second reason: The resourcepool has a maximum capacity which is quite a bit lower than the physical memory - in my case ~14GB/~7,5%.
So I'm a bit confused, did I configure something wrong? or must I always have a lot of additional Memory for nothing?
Please enlighten me...

High Sierra and Fusion "stuck" keys
Hi to all,
inside the Windows VM, sometimes when I strike Ctrl+c, some seconds after I release the key combination it results in typing repeatedly "cccccccccccccc..." or after having struck Ctrl+v it results in "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv..." and it doesn't stop until I press another key. It happens with the delete key or the tab key, too.
This happens very frequently (an average of once every 2 - 3 minutes, but it can happen twice in a minute or more) but randomly and in combination with a "special key" (i.e. Ctrl, Delete, End, Backslash, etc.) and is VERY, VERY annoying.
Almost every time that this happens, I noticed that when I press the ESC key, it opens up the Windows Start Menu.
To "re-enable" a (temporary) correct working state of the keyboard, I have to repeatedly press ESC, then repeatedly press CTRL, then repeatedly press the Windows key, then repeatedly press the ALT key. After that, I can continue working for a couple of minutes befor it happens again
It started happening as I upgraded to High Sierra (from El Capitan) and to Fusion 10.0.0 (and it's upgrade to 10.0.1) from fusion 8.x.
I later downgraded to Fusion 8.5.8 (ev. upgraded to 8.5.9) to resolve the CAPS LOCK issue, but this one remained, unfortunately.
In the meantime I have upgraded Windows 10 on both my VMs to version 1709 (OS build 16299.64) from Version 1703 (OS build 15063.674), but the issue remains.
This is making me NUTS, I cannot work anymore and I am a bit desperate.
This issue seems only to happen inside the VMs, not in the Mac host.
I already tried switching keyboard with a Mac one (usb), but the problem stays the same.
I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling last version of vmware Tools, with no success
I already tried searching on the internet for a solution, but until now, no tweak has worked for me.
Can someone help me, please?
Info:
Mac (27-inch, Late 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Osx: 10.13.1 High Sierra
Fusion: 8.5.9 (7098239)
VM: Windows 10, Version 1709 (OS build 16299.64)

Windows 10 Spring Creators Update (Redstone 4)(RS4)(1803) host status?
I have been reading that as part of increasing security measures, Microsoft is planning on rolling out Credential Guard/Device Guard and HVCI features to all SKU's in this windows 10 release. With Hyper-V effectively on by default, this will basically screw everyone running even slightly older VMware products on windows 10.
Microsoft allegedly is pushing to provide nested hypervisor functionality to Hyper-V to support VMware use cases via a new API for this new windows 10 release, but I haven't seen much about this. Regardless, if VMware does move to support this new API, I would imagine a new major release number, and corresponding license upgrade fees.
Has there been more definitive news regarding using Workstation in a credential guard and HVCI enabled environment (which will be the default in the future), or are we still stuck with disabling all that?
UPDATE
Here's that API stuff from microsoft, now called Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX)

Do vSphere essential edition support iSCSI with failover and load balance?
Hi all,
Currently, we are using vMware vSphere 6.0 with essential license and we are planning to acquire a new Nimble SAN storage device connected with iSCSI storage. My question is that does essential license support: (1.) The ESXI host to connect the SAN using iSCSI. (2.) Using iSCSI with multi-path{2 NICs to 2 switch to SAN} for load balance and (3.) Using iSCSI with multi-path{2 NICs to 2 switch to SAN} for failover?
Thank you.
