Lonely Cursor after trying to load ESXi 6.0

$

I'm in the process of loading ESXi 6.0.0 U2 onto a SunFire x4200.  I use this little box for development purposes.  It has been running ESXi 5.0 just fine.  I boot the server from the CDRom and it begins the boot cycle to load 6.0, but after a few screens of loading I'm left at an empty screen with a lonely cursor.  Any ideas?

Having the same issue.  Trying to access in my test environment (brand new install of everything, including domain) from a Server 2016 RDS host.  Installed the plug ins.  Refreshed browser, rebooted, even reinstalled.  There is no fat client installed.  No other plugins.  Box remains grayed out.

I am looking for a way to script the turn on of VMs in a specific order using wild cards. Some of the requirements are as follows:

 

  1. Systems need to be powered on in groups.
  2. Systems need to come up before other systems come up (specific order).

 

What I am looking at is a few lines of code where a set of servers is defined using wild cards. In the below example I would like all DCs to come up first if they are in a powered off state, wait for tools to load (system is actually up) then move on to the next step and do the same for file servers with a naming format of *File0*, then servers in the format *FS0*, etc... Each line of code should not execute until the Wait-Tools comes back good. Main reason for this is certain systems need to be up before others or some apps don't work right.

 

Start-VM *DC0* | Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq ‘PoweredOff’} | Wait-Tools

 

  • All Domain Controllers come up

 

Start-VM *File0* | Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq ‘PoweredOff’} | Wait-Tools

 

  • All servers with File0 in the name come up

 

Start-VM *FS0* | Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq ‘PoweredOff’} | Wait-Tools

 

  • All Servers with FS0 in the name come up

 

Start-VM *WEB* | Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq ‘PoweredOff’} | Wait-Tools

 

  • All Servers with WEB in the name come up

 

Start-VM *DB1P* |  Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq ‘PoweredOff’} | Wait-Tools

 

 

  • All Servers with DB1P in the name come up

 

Start-VM *DB2P* |  Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq ‘PoweredOff’} | Wait-Tools

 

  • All Servers with DB2P in the name come up

 

When I use the WhatIf parameters it tells me all of the servers it would power on but does not go beyond the Start-VM Command so I cannot tell if the Where clause or Wait-Tools command do anything. I don't have a sandbox to play in yet so I figured I would ask the experts and see if I am on the right track first.

 

Thx!

Re: Office 2016 ProPlus click-to-run with Writable Volumes, need help

I have a similar setup but currently running AV V2.11 and intermittently run across the same problem.  I have not been able to track down the cause and was hoping it would be addressed in V2.12.    From your post it hasn't.

I also use UEM to keep as much of the user's settings out of the Writable Volume as possible, but still occasionally run across this same problem.

Anyone have a solution other than deleting and recreating the Writable Volume?

Great thanks a.p. I found the script from github and transferred it to my vMA.

 

I am not sure what to do now, the guide I am following says I should have a directory of vmwarevSphereHealthCheck but I dont. I see the script is listed there but not really sure how to kick it off? Or how to make it run to send out email reporting.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

vShield w/ endpoint and ESET agentless failure

$
0
0

Forgive me if this is detailed already or within the incorrect forum group.

 

We are using ESET agentless anti-virus.  The idea is the same as McAfee MOVE or other vendors and adheres to similar architecture.  I have 5 hosts in the vcenter cluster running 5.5 GA & 5.5 EPatch 3.  I've installed vShield Manager 5.5.4 and had configure everything.  ESET's virtual appliances were all scanning vm guests properly and I continued deploying on my merry way.

 

I then installed Endpoint on the same host as the vShield Manager OVF and this basically killed everything.  I think what happened is that I failed to set up the port group properly or it just didn't install right.  It's probably me.  Either way since the vShield Manager shares similar port group I think this creates a conflict.  The problem is I don't know how to resolve the port group issue or determine if that is really the issue; but i think it is.

 

Do I need to uninstall vshield?  Can I modify my current deployment so that it functions?  Will either of these cause outages on my vm guests?

 

Many thanks in advance for your insight!

Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c on vmware

$

Hello Experts,

 

We are currently planning our Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Upgrade and we need to make some decisions in regards to the infrastructure.

 

Our corporate standard is to use VMWare for all Virtual Environments as opposed to Oracle VM. However, we still have the option to go with Physical servers.

 

In order to decide whether to go Virtual or Physical, we would like to know the following:

 

  1. Has Oracle done any benchmarking in regards to performance for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (SOA & OSB) in a Virtual vs Physical environment?
  2. Are there any considerations that we need to watch for or take into account if we chose to go with a Virtual VMWare environment?
  3. What kind of support we can expect from vmware for this activity ?

 

Thank you and best regards

Can not convert to esxi host.

I have a programmer that typically works in Workstation Pro developing a server on his local machine.  When the server is ready I typically convert the server over to the esxi host.  Currently we have a server that I can not convert, not copy to another directory on the host computer running workstation pro.

 

Is there anything I can do to get this copied.  In the past when this happened we had to recreate the server, but this is the second time and not sure of there is a work around.  Some files will copy but 2 or 3 will not.  Can they be recreated or left behind?

Creating a VM using the built-in "Create custom virtual machine" workflow with eager zero disk

$

How can I modify the built-in workflows to create a virtual disk that is eager zeroed?  The snippet to create the virtual disk looks like this:

 

if ( hasDisk1 == true )  {

    deviceConfigSpec = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config.device").createVirtualDiskFlatVer2ConfigSpec(

        disk1SizeInGB, vmDatastore, 0, 0, VcVirtualDiskMode.persistent, disk1ThinProvisioned );

    deviceConfigSpecs[ii++] = deviceConfigSpec;

 

The disk1ThinProvisioned gets set as answer to question during the set-up.  We want to set everything up as eager zeroed.  How can I change this snippet of code to accomplish that?

 

There is some information here about what needs to be done, but it's not specific enough for the uninitiated. 

Re: Mirage Server v5.1 Installation Error

The fix worked for me as well. I expanded the MirageDB database, expanded tables, went down the list shown in the Object Explorer Details on the right (you may have to open this view under the view menu up top) right clicked on "Volume" and chose Edit top 200 rows. The very first row displayed contained the path field that I was looking for. Modified it to reflect the correct UNC name and restarted the Mirage Server install. Issue resolved.

The file size has changed between the two versions.  What is the functional change?  Is it worth the effort of re-deploying?
