Re: Fusion 6 Pro okay with Mac Sierra


Re: host preparation Not ready

Installing OS X from recovery partition fails

0
0

I have been trying to install OS X from the recovery partition over the past several days with no success.  The installation hangs at the "five minutes remaining" screen for hours without further progress.  Then, it sometimes alerts me that MacOS Sierra failed to download and that I should check the download screen again, which doesn't really make sense.  Shutting down the virtual machine and rebooting it results in a hang at the black screen with a white apple and an empty progress bar.

 

I am running macOS Sierra 10.12 and VMware Fusion Professional Version 8.5.0 (4352717).

Re: Convert string to VC:Network

Hi,

 

Perhaps the easiest way is to fetch all DVS portgroups and find which one matches the desired name. Here is some sample code:

 

var pgName = "dvPortGroup123"; // portgroup name to find
var allDvpg = Server.findAllForType("VC:DistributedVirtualPortgroup");
var foundDvpg = null;
for each (var dvpg in allDvpg) {  if (dvpg.name == pgName) {    foundDvpg = dvpg;    break;  }
}

if (foundDvpg != null) {
  System.log("Found matching DVS portgroup -> " + foundDvpg);
}

 

One thing I'm not sure and that should be validated if whether the portgroup name alone is sufficient to uniquely identify the DVS portgroup (eg. if you have multiple vCenters managed by single vRO instance, is it possible to have DVS portgroups with the same name in each vCenter)?. If this is possible, in production code you may want to use additional criteria to distinguish between DVS portgroups having the same name.

Re: Change the VNI of a Logical Switch

VNI is picked automatically from Segment ID pool. The fact is that when you create a Logical Switch, it gets tied to a port-group with UUID which is unique for every object in vCenter. Question is why you want to change the VNI id?

OK, so we'll probably need to prepare a KB article for this issue, documenting how it can be resolved manually after upgrade.

Re: Is there any problem if we rename the portgroups created by NSX Manager?

It does not impact functionality so technically these Portgroups can be renamed, but given they contain useful identifiers for troubleshooting (VDS MoRef ID, Logical Switch object ID and Segment ID) it isn’t recommended and in general changing Portgroup properties for Logical Switches directly within VC is not supported. Also this doesn’t scale well if the environment is dynamic, plus the dvPortgroup names need to be unique within a VC if you are spanning VXLAN logical switches across multiple VDS.

How do you add multiple VMs to the Exclusion List via API call?

0

So looking at the documentation, the following is what vCNS 5.5 API guide says to do:

 

PUT https://<vsm manager>/api/2.1/app/excludelist/<memberID>

 

Where memberID is the vc‐moref‐id of a virtual machine.

 

I have gathered the moref-ids of multiple VMs in a variable but when I run a Invoke-RestMethod call to Put with the url with just one moref-id at the end, I get a "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found." from powershell. Using Postmas with a Put with the same url, I get a 202 code which says "The requested object : vm-1027 could not be found. Object identifiers are case sensitive." I have tried with multiple capitalizations and combinations but can't seem to get past this point.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Good day VM guru's

 

I am trying to create a Private VLAN to use as a SQL heartbeat connection, First, if I create one and add Virtual Adapters to my VM, then put those adapters on the Private VLAN, does it matter what IP's I use? also is there anyone who has a detailed procedure to create a Private VLAN and get it working

ESXI not seeing all network cards

I am in a lab environment and I ran into my first issue.

 

I'm running ESXi host inside of VMware Workstation. Yes, a hypervisor inside of a hypervisor. I have created 10 network interface cards for this one particular VM (ESXi).

 

When I boot up the ESXi host inside of VMware Workstation, I only see 1 NIC.

 

Why I'm I only seeing one network card?

Changing a forgotten root password on an ESXi host

0

I recently inherited a bunch of ESXi 5.1 hosts, that i need to support, and nobody knows the root password for them as they walked that guy out the door without getting any passwords. I've been told reinstalling the ESXi host is the only supported way to reset a password on ESXi. I will be doing that soon once my new hardware shows up and I can uplift things to ESXi 6. Has anyone tried reseting the root password in a host profile and applying it to a host like this before? If so did it work ok? Thanks.

Hello.

 

I realize this post is old, but by chance do you recall how this was resolved?

 

Thanks


Re: How to display all the Tabs of vCenter server appliance 6 in vsphere web client? it works well with vSphere client, but I am missing Administration and management TABs in web client. see attached file.

It looks like you are using the HTML5 Web Client fling and not the vSphere Web Client shipped with vCenter Server.

Have you tried using the Web Client instead of the HTML5 fling? You can access it using the URL of your vCenter Server, https://<vcenter server>/vsphere-client.

Shutdown the ESXi host and took a look at the vmx configuration file. The NIC that is working will have an extra line of configuration:

ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000”

Add ethernetX.virtualDev = “e1000” for each of the other ethernet adapters and restart

Thant should fix it

Changing the root password with a host profile is also a valid option. I have used it several times with various versions of ESXi (5.1, 5.5 and 6.0) and it worked all the times.

I have cleared the alarm triggered from ESXi host. Alert cleared from Alert tab but RED mark on the host. How to clear the RED warning where to clear, hard ware tab all sensors showing green

Another option than resetting the root password through Host Profiles, is to create a "ESX Admins" global groups in your AD, and joining the ESXi hosts to the domain. This will allow users in the "ESX Admins" group to connect directly to the ESXi host, and reset the root user's password.
