• VSphere Orchestrator (vco) - problem to add a Powershell host

  Hello world

  I am currently set up a VSphere Orchestrator server and I have a few problems to add a new host via WinRM with Add a PowerShell host model.

  I followed this tutorial:

  http://blogs.technet.com/b/meamcs/archive/2012/02/25/how-to-force-WinRM-to-listen-interfaces-over-HTTPS.aspx

  I can connect with Powershell to a second server HTTPS but not with the vco...

  But with the vco I:

  Port: 5986

  Type remote PowerShell: WinRM

  Transport protocol: HTTPS

  Authentication: Kerberos

  Session mode: A shared Session

  User name: administrator

  Password: password

  

  

  Someone has had this problem before? What I did wrong?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Based on the log, I see that "Connection refused:" error was connected to the kdc parameter in the krb5.conf file and you have already defeated it.

  Now, if I understand 'Add a PowerShell host' the workflow remains in working condition and does not end.

  This behavior I observed in the case of PowerShell plugin 1.0.3 is trying to connect to PowerShell host running PowerShell 4.0.

  Your log says: "Unable to load library 'vix'" - done-a you try to install the VERY OLD, obsolete plugin VIX on this host? If so, which causes all sorts of problems.

  1 it requires a basis of vCO Windows Server.

  2 If the initial configuration workflow is not running, it screws the other workflows

  3 If the library files are not unpacked in the correct on the vCO Windows Server folder, random questions appear throughout many parts of the vCO.

• Add production ESX hosts to a cluster

  Hi all

  I did some research in the admin guides and community forums, and I'm sure that I know what to do, but I would really appreciate a test of consistency here because the manipulation I do is in a production environment:

  I have a campus that contains two ESX areas that are managed by using vSphere and connected to a San. vMotion of works very well, the performance is very good (although the resources of the two boxes are fairly complete upward). However, I recently realized that I'd neglected to set up a cluster HA and DRS.  I want to remedy.

  I created the cluster with these specs:

  • the two HA and DRS, enabled
  • to the left, she also fully automated.
  • the power management of left
  • monitoring and host admission control enabled
  • leave the default settings for the behavior of the virtual machine
  • monitoring VM disabled
  • EVC enabled
  • the storage value of the swap with the virtual machine file

  I think that the next steps would be to add each ESX host consecutively and merged its resources with the cluster. However, here are a few questions:

  • How do you assess the risk factor to do this in a production environment (1 = perfectly safe, is a proven Scenario; 5 = you are out of your bloody mind? Do not)
  • Should I be triple-checking the SAN snapshots and planning of downtime for servers, or is it possible live and without any major qualms?
  • Am I right in assuming that it will increase my performance as well as provide better robustness of the campus, or should I expect a decrease in performance?

  Thank you very much in advance for your advice!

  Hey red,

  Addressing your particular situation, I would say yes to two questions.  Admission control HA is here to help you.  Ensure there are enough resources on the host computer to run the current and any expected load it will be after an HA event.  50% is close to default (but it is really based on the size of the slot) in an environment with two guests when guest cluster failures tolerates is set to 1 in a two and 25% host environment when the percentage of unused reserved as production capacity cluster resources in failover is left to its default value.

  If you have several virtual machines running that allows you to book 50% of your cluster resources (which it sounds like you have), then you have the option of "first category" your virtual machines and their giving priorities to restart event HA.  For their level, you'll want to active DRS (can be set to manual Automation), resource pools and you will need to configure your virtual machine under your HA settings options.  You'll want to pay attention to the priority of restarting VM here.

  I suggest you take a look at blog Duncan Epping http://www.yellow-bricks.com/ and Frank Denneman http://frankdenneman.nl/blog. They are all two fairly well the definitive answer to the HA and DRS questions and advice.

  See you soon,.

  Note: Epping and Denneman explained that the amount reserved by default resources when you use the host cluster failures tolerates is promising to reserve enough resources to power on virtual machines.  This reserve of resource does not on average current, account, or future default load.  If you want to manipulate this feature, modify the memory and CPU reserves, which are the numbers used to calculate the size of the slot.

• How can I add a USB host controller high-speed to my PC?

  My OS is windows xp home edition. I get this message that the HI-SPEED device attached to Non HI-SPEED USB Hub.

  The USB Composite device is a USB HI-SPEED device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a port not HI-SPEED.

  There is no host controller USB HI-SPEED installed on this computer.

  Recommendation: You add a USB host controller high-speed on this computer in order to get maximum performance.

  So, how can I add this USB host controller high-speed to my PC? Is - this material I must add and physically install to my PC?

  As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  drake68

  Hi Drake,

  Review the devices USB connected to your PC and make sure that there is not a USB 1.x device connected to the same USB HUB (front or rear).  USB 1.x devices will cause the USB HUB at the bottom shift to 1.x speeds.

  You have an old PC (2002), it is possible that your PC does not have a USB HUB 2.0.  In this case, you need to install a USB PCI adapter card.

• Question about hospitality add to a Cluster workflow

  Hi all

  I tried to add a host (previously run by an old vCenter) a new vCenter with workflow title mentioned, and I got this error message.

  The authenticity of the host SSL certificate is not

  If I do the same task with the vSphere client, I get a warning on the footprint SSL of the host asking me to trust (or not) this print.

  In the case of, I decided to trust him that the host is added in the vCenter.

  Is it possible to simulate the acceptance of digital fingerprint SSL in a vCO workflow?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hi again

  referring to your original question, I modified the workflow you used:

  

  Simply duplicate the workflow and insert the missing lines in task scriptable or import the package added on this post.

• Execution of Script PowerShell host - spaces in settings

  Hi guys,.

  How to pass a parameter from vRO to a remote host from PowerShell with a space (for example the subject and the body in the script below)?  If I quote the parameter in the form of vRO, it works fine, but I want to do it programmatically to make sure that my users don't need to use quotes, through vRA.

  Script is similar to:

  var output;

  var session;

  var sender = arguments + "" + recipient + "" + subject + "" + body + "" + smtpServer;

  try {}

  session = host.openSession ();

  script var = "&" ' + externalScript + ' "' + arguments;"

  Output = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.powershell").invokeScript (host, script, session.getSessionId ());

  }

  {Finally

  If {(session)

  host.closeSession (session.getSessionId ());

  }

  }

  Thank you

  Dan

  Hi Dan,.

  Instead of using PowerShell, vRO can send emails too.

  To answer your question, you could include quotes like this:

  "var arguments = sender +" "+ recipient +"\"" + subject + '\' \ "' + body +"------""+ smtpServer;

• Add an esxi host

  Hi I'm new to VMware, I want to add new host esxi 5.5 to my cluster.

  1. I use the HP Blade servers. When assigning the IP I can see 4 network cards,

  I will assign IP to a network card and the 3 other should I keep them connected or disconnected. (I distributed switch and I use interconnected amp module not virtual connect)

  2. this question is not meant to ask here.

  I use HP amp modules interconnected for san switch, should use SC - LC or cable LC - LC of this interconnection modules to the switch of storage?

  1. I use the HP Blade servers. When assigning the IP I can see 4 network cards,

  I will assign IP to a network card and the 3 other should I keep them connected or disconnected. (I distributed switch and I use interconnected amp module not virtual connect)

  You assign the IP address to a VMkernel, not the network adapter interface. The VMkernel interface resides within the virtual switch, and the redundancy of the network, you should have at least two NICs per virtual switch. I recommend that you take a look at the network configuration of your current hosts and keep the same setting for the new.

  2. this question is not meant to ask here.

  I use HP amp modules interconnected for san switch, should use SC - LC or cable LC - LC of this interconnection modules to the switch of storage?

  It depends on. Depends on each type of connector you have beside storage and switch, I think it will be LC... in any case you can only need to add new cables just because you add a new blade. I recommend that you check with the SAN administrator to check if this is really necessary or not.

• Automator workflow question

  I have a lot of saved Web pages that I had liked to convert to PDF format.  A solution is: get the URLS specified > URL for download in PDF format.  I can add each this way for the first part, but I have so that this one will be a lot of time.

  If I have several tabs open, is it a reasonably simple way to obtain the URL of each tab in the workflow at the same time before you download them in PDF format?

  Thanks in advance.

  This web site allows you to make the conversion by email.

• Workflow question

  I have a question and I would be very interested to hear the opinions of experienced users.

  When you create a montage composed of many individual scenes the typical workflow would be to have a project and begins to run accumulate all the scenes or create projects for each scene and then bring them all together later.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Mark,

  You can create different locations to organize your clips at import and then just create a new sequence for each 'scene' that you want to work, so really you have just several chronologies by tabs that you can switch between. The sequences will be returned as elements in the tray and can be moved to a timeline. So just "assemble" the finished scenes assemble you clips in a timeline. Nice, it works! I'm going to break big marriages in Preps, ceremony, Park, front desk, for example, Recap and then just put it all together at the end for export.

  Glad I could help

  Thank you

• Add background images 100% width questions

  Hello again,

  This is another issue that I'm trying to overcome.

  I added these subtle geometry type forms in the background of the Web site to fill the blank gradient area in the case of a person like me consults the Web site on screen 27 inches.

  

  Now on screen 27 inch, everything seems perfect and the way I want it, but here is the strange part, when I adjust the side window beside it contracts and expands as it should.

  

  but when I use the bottom bar to move from left to right, look at what is happening.

  

  Now, is not so much a big problem on screen 27 inches because if I develop the window full screen it will look like perfectly on both sides of the web page.

  but this is the result when you open this page even on lets say 13-inch macbook, the left side is perfect, but the right side?

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  The same phenomenon occurs with the Ipad. I understand that the question is the image in the background, but how is the image of the left hand has no problem, but the right hand image is. It should reveal only the background image gradually if your screen is wider than 960px (width I put for my site) not the whole background in a go image. Once I have remove the background graphics, I don't have these problems, and it seems fine on my macbook 13 inch or an iPad. But I don't want these images,
  

  

  

  Sorry for so many images, but I wanted to make sure that everyone understands what is my problem and can help with this problem.

  Thank you very much

  In the case of the use that you use do not add your background for the page itself. Add as a fill for browser - not an element of the width of 100%.
