Re: App Profile HTTPS Passthrough and SSL Session ID Sticky

$
0
0

Hi,

 

Sticky configuration using SSL Session ID can be set only in using SSL paththrough mode.

If SSL paththrough is disabled, sticky using SSL Seesion ID cannot be used because SSL session is terminated by NSX Edge.

 

The detail of NSX LB Application profile is described in the below.

https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-6/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.nsx.admin.doc%2FGUID-58EB4584-2215-42A3-892D-CCD937CAFD3A.html

 

Traffic Type
Persistence Method Supported
HTTPSCookie, ssl_session_id (SSL Passthrough enabled) , SOURCEIP

NetBIOS Name Already Exists

$

Hello Guys, I use VMware workstation as a virtual lab so I create lots of domains on my Windows server 2012 for different purposes. The issue I am having is while promoting server to the domain controller. I have created a domain xyz.combefore on one of the server which do not exist now. The Net-BIOS name I used was XYZ . I have deleted all the files related to that machine. Now I am trying to create same domain with same Net-BIOS name but I get an error that the Net-BIOS name is already in use and suggests me to create new name. I doubt that the Net-BIOS name is stored somewhere in VMware  or network adapter (I have no idea). Is there any way to clear these stuffs so that I can use same Net-BIOS name ?

I reported same issue over a week ago, was told it is a known issue caused by changes Apple made to USB processes and that VMware has reported it to Apple and is tracking it.  No workaround exists, no resolution likely until 10.12.6 is out of beta status.

Is there a way to import a list of datastores that need to be unmounted from all hosts that have them mounted, then find each host that has that datstore mounted and unmount the datastore from all hosts?

Hi aaronb1,

 

Would you please inform about the build number of  High Sierra you have just installed?

Remove datastores from host profiles

Is there a way to import a list of datastores and then for each datastore, find all host profiles that specify that this datastore should be mounted, and automatically update the host profile to NOT require that datastore to be mounted to the hosts it is applied to?

You may have to flush the DNS and NetBIOS cache.

 

ipconfig /flushdns

nbtstat -R

 

If you're curious to see if any NetBIOS names is in the cache, you can check it using

nbtstat -c

 

Hope that helps

vRO presentation vs vSphere Web Client presentation

Have a very odd issue here.

 

A workflow i created runs perfectly on the vRO client.

 

The first step has an input that displays as a list and that works very well.

 

the second step is supposed to display a list based on the selection of the first step but it just shows up as a test box. Screen Shot 2017-06-21 at 10.23.16 PM.png

 

on vRO, this is the presentation. Am i doing something wrong here?

remove memory reservation

Hi

 

PowerCLI C:\> Get-VM  xxx | Get-VMResourceConfiguration | Select-Object Name,  CpuReservationMhz, MemReservationMB

 

 

Name CpuReservationMhz MemReservationMB

---- ----------------- ----------------

                     0             8192

 

 

i was able to remove cpu reservation with below

 

foreach ($line in $csv)
{

Get-VM $($line.name) |% {Get-View $_.ID} | % {

  $spec = new-object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec;

  $spec.CPUAllocation = $_.ResourceConfig.CpuAllocation

  $spec.CpuAllocation.Reservation = 0;

  $_.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)

}

 

 

}

 

 

 

but it does not work for memory

 

for me even below did not work

 

 

1

 

 

Get-VM|Get-VMResourceConfiguration|where{$_.MemLimitMB-ne'-1'}|Set-VMResourceConfiguration-MemLimitMB$null

 

 

 

 

below did not work too

 

$VMs = Get-Cluster | Get-VM

 

Foreach ($VM in $VMs)

{

$configspec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

$configspec.MemoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo

# This will uncheck the box.

$configspec.MemoryReservationLockedToMax = $false

# This will put the reservation back to 0

$configspec.MemoryAllocation[0].Reservation = 0

$VM.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($ConfigSpec)

}

 

 

 

i tried below too

 

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

$spec.memoryReservationLockedToMax = $true

(Get-VM xxx).ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)

 

no luck

 

Please  help

i think below worked for me

 

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

$spec.memoryReservationLockedToMax = $false

$spec.memoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo

$spec.memoryAllocation.Reservation = 0

Do you have any label on the hardware which tells the exact model ? Error says failed to initialize acpi subsystem, clearly indicates that this is due to hardware fault/incompatibility.

Re: Splitting a VSAN

Hello Dreckly,

 

 

Glad you sorted this yourself, I intended to earlier but then RL called.

 

This all can be done from the command-line simply with 'esxcli vsan cluster leave' on two hosts then 'esxcli vsan cluster new' on one of them, and then just 'esxcli vsan cluster get' on the other standalone host to get the new vSAN Sub-cluster UUID so it can use 'esxcli vsan cluster join' to join it.

 

You *should* also reconfigure the cluster at the vCenter-level but the above would accomplish the vSAN-level clustering part.

Hi LucD,

 

I am getting a different error now:

Check if there is any genuine task running on that virtual machine by taking direct esxi session from vsphere client, check the tasks in progress. If there are any task running on it or stuck in progress you may try to cancel it. If there are no pending task, then its an issue with vcenter server that did not sync properly with the host to update the task status. Restarting the vcenter service would help in that situation.

Reverse or Unifying Virtualization

$
0
0

(Please have mercy, I am but a spectator)

 

My understanding is that virtualization software is designed to create many virtual hardware instances, so that a four core Xeon CPU can spawn 25 or more virtual CPUs.

 

I have three questions:

 

  1. What 'model' CPU is being created virtually?  Is it a direct virtualization of a particular Intel CPU, like a Xeon 5630, or is it just a basic 8086 CPU?

 

  1. Is there a way to select which model CPU is virtualized?  If so, would it be possible to offer upgraded virtualization options, to match Intel's latest CPU technology?

 

  1. Most important:  Instead of an actual physical E3 Xeon quad core using a virtual abstraction layer to create many more virtual CPUs, is there a product that goes in the opposite direction?  That is, I want my physical quad-core Xeon to virtualize a SINGLE-core 'super CPU', so that all 2.2 billion transistors can run a single-threaded program. Currently, any single-threaded program can only use one core, or 1/4 of the transistors on a quad-core CPU - I want to find an abstraction layer that will focus all transistors, from all cores, onto a single program.

 

This would actually be a ‘unifying’ virtualization, combining multiple physical cores to virtualize a single-core CPU.  If such an abstraction layer were developed, could it also possibly virtualize a CPU that does not yet exist physically?  So, Intel could virtualize a future CPU that relies on manufacturing processes that haven’t yet been developed.  Or could it virtualize a CPU that is too expensive to build, with, for example, 2 GB of L1 cache?  Could a light-based photonic CPU be virtualized?

 

It seems like something that Intel would have to initiate and allow, like hyperthreading, but I am not sure about that.

 

I just wonder if someone has developed such a program – there are many single-threaded apps still in use, and it is frustrating to see all this Xeon horsepower unused.

 

A ‘reverse virtualization’ abstraction layer could be invoked just for a selected single-threaded program – once the program is closed, the cores on the CPU would be again available individually.

 

A relatively low-end Xeon could become much more powerful, depending on the CPU that is virtually created.

 

Such ‘reverse virtualization’, or ‘unifying virtualization’, would be a win for Intel, it would be a win for users, and it would reduce the pressure on software vendors to re-write their programs for multi-threading.

 

Thank you for your patience

1. The host does not have it's graphic configuration set to "Shared Direct." You can confirm this by going to the host configuration in vsphere web client and click on graphics.

 

THIS!  Thank you very much.  Saved me another days worth of headaches!
