Blueprint for user to upload virtual appliance?

0
0

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have a blueprint or form that a user can fill out to provision an OVA/OVF?

 

I realise that each OVA/OVF may have specific questions to complete by the user and was wondering if a dynamic form could be created (by opening up the OVA/OVF), or vRA properties could be passed to the command-line ovftool - e.g. hostname, networking info.

 

Once it is depolyed, vRO could run a post-action to import the machine into vRA for day-2 operations.

 

Any thoughts?

If I created a separate reservation and reservation policy for each placement option, I could still have a single blueprint if I could somehow dynamically change the reservation policy binding of the blueprint during the request time (based on business group).

 

Does this sound like a workable approach? Does anyone know how to do this?

Re: VMware Fusion black screen on boot

You just saved me hours of fiddling around with OPNSense.  My Windows and OS-X guests were fine, but was getting a black screen on boot with this OPNSense ISO.  Thought it was a FreeBSD 11 issue or something, but as you noted, no POST screen or anything.


Where did you get this info?  Anyone from VMware watching?  Will an official fix be rolled out?

Hello,

 

Running ESXi 6.5

 

I removed A NiC card and Added 2x More NICs, also moved A GPU down some slots.   Did not move my 2x HBAs.

 

(EDIT) And CPUs were Changed to 2x X5670

 

Now when I try to start FreeNAS VM,  It says it cant find the HBA it was using for over A month .. the ID has changed ...  How do I change it back  or Update it..

 

this is what it says

It's nice to know, that people did it, but - why is there no Download? Disk Image for Acronis or Dump or .iso? I feel left alone, and i think many others that step on this Thread without sayin sth. too.

Problems vSAN after upgrade 6.0 (U3) to 6.5 (latest version)

0
0

Hello everybody!

 

I have 3 servers of same configuration (compatible in HCL). Was installed vsphere and esxi 6.0 latest version (U3). Deployed vSAN. Everything was great. It worked for a long time - no errors, no problem.

After updating to 6.5 (via ISO 201704001-5310538), all hosts have problems:

1. They do not enter in the Maintenance mode - error "Operation timed out".

2. Also, when rebooting, hosts began to boot very long (approximately 20 minutes instead of 5).

3. In vSAN Health I see the error "vSAN CLOMD liveness - failed", the status for hosts is "Abnormal" - "can not connect to clomd process and possible it's down".

When using the command "/etc/init.d/clomd start" CLOMD is started, but just a minute down again.

*Note (maybe important?) after updating the hypervisor and vserver, the drivers and firmware for the disk subsystem were updated via the web client (vsphere itself suggested updating).

 

Any help?

You don't need to have Excel installed to use ImportExcel (that's the beauty of that module).

 

Your assumption is correct, the aggregated statistics are stored on the vCenter, not ESXi nodes involved.

The query towards the vCenter will of course use some resources, but normally they should be neglegible.

Out of Memory when I am using Windows 10 version 1703 virtual machine

0

I use the VMware for a long time. I malloc the memory as 3G (8G in total) to Windows 10. I never recevie any warning before I use Windows 10 in Vritual Machine. Therefore, I reuse the amount the mallocation into 2G, and I opened Task manager to monitor the usage of memory. However, I found that I still have 2G left when the warning dialog was prompted. I think it was aweful when I found this error. I don't think I have the problem in memory when I receviced the warning. Please check this problem.

The agent is probably in a non-optimal state. Rebooting the VM or restarting the View Agent usually fixes this issue.

Re: How to Increase C drive space in windows Server 2008

0

In order to increate the C: partition in your Windows server VM, you need adjacent free disk space.

In case there'the virtual disk only contains the C: parition, the follow the steps provided by jsider. Note that a VM reboot may not even be required, if a rescan within the guest's Disk Management detects the increased virtual disk.

If there's anther partition on that virtual disk, you'll have to move that partition to get the required adjacent free disk space for increasing the C: partition. This can either be done using a 3rd party product like gParted, or you can use VMware's Converter which allows you to clone the current VM, and do the resizing in a single step (Volume based V2V conversion). Using the Converter has the advantage that the original VM remains untouched, i.e. you can always revert to the original VM in case something doesn't work as expected.

You need to provide more information for others to help you.  For example, the specs of the host, the version of VMware and logs of the guest.

Re: ESXi 6.0.0, 5050593

Some questions:

  • Are you using the DELL OEM image, or the VMware image?
  • Is the FC adapter detected/shown in "Storage Adapters"?
  • Has the zoning been configured on the FC switch(es), and has the zone been enabled?
  • Have the LUNs on the storage system been presented to the ESXi host?
