• Cannot import the license key for VMware SRM

  Hi all

  We have 2 sites and have ESX4.0 3 for each site. We use VMware SRM for the DR solution, I managed with 'Recovery Plan Test', I want to import the license key for SRM, I now go with SRM Administrator's guide but I can't look for the text Licensing.LicenseKey box in the navigation pane of the window advanced settings (see attachment for details). Please give to recommend me

  Thank you & best regards

  Pham Duke of

  He's gone, the place has been changed. I had this problem myself. I do not have access to SRM right now, but I think I could just enter the key in vCenter / Home / license. Hope I remember this right.

• Ethernet adapter for Vmware Player?

  Hello

  I was wonderng if there was a way to assign a PCI Ethernet card dedicated to a virtual machine in the drive. I use the VM for multiplayer pc gaming on a large monitor and an entitled simply the VM its own wireless network card is not fast enough to follow upwards in the game.

  So, really, I'm looking for a way to assign the virtual machine or its own card PCI, or its own Ethernet adapter.

  Thank you.

  The extracted from the network.cab files must be copied in the VMware Player installation directory. This folder contains the IACS-2. 0.dll, but also the other required files.

• How to add a new network adapter in vmware

  Hello

  I installed vmware server 2.0 on ubuntu which is installed on a map of mother xeon quad core & intell. the motherboard has 2 network cards and is recognized by ubuntu.

  vware installation went well, but I see that it has not recognized the 2 nd network adapter.

  can someone let me know how I can add this adapter for vmware server.

  The first time you have run the script vmware - config.pl, did you just create a single bridged network? You have been asked what host device to use (eth0, eth1, etc.). To fill another physical NETWORK card, you just need to re - run vmware - config.pl, although it will take for all the virtual machines to be stopped / suspended and then tell him you want an another bridged NIC and enter the name of the physical device. Then in the comments, you can choose which NIC to use or add another virtual NETWORK card via the option "Add Hardware" and bind it to the another card bridged.

• SRM 5.5 with EMC SRDF. Full recovery but reprotect fails

  Hi all

  I am fairly new to SRM, but have been plugging away in establishing a new environment that uses:

  vCenter 5.5 u1 (two Sites)

  Solutions Enabler 8.0.1.0 - 1953

  EMC SRDF Adapater (SRA) = 5.6.0 VMAX 20 k

  EMC SRDF utilities SRA (and community VSI) = 5.7.0.2

  RS = 5.5.1.8569

  I followed documentation provided by Cody Hosterman ~which is great and got me almost to the end.  I was able to successfully switch (recovery), a virtual machine using a test Stimulus Plan from Site A to Site B. It was working fine.

  We don't use TimeFinder (unauthorized) and so when we realize the expected behavior once happened that the SRDF link has been broken. The State of the R1 to Site A device has become write disabled. The device of R2 in Site B became read/write and the State of the device group is "Fail Over". It is in SRDF asynchronous mode.

  
  

  To try to 'Restore' the group, I see errors relating to the configuration of the storage to reverse direction.

  I checked the log EmcSrdfSra as suggested on the site now main SRM server and it seems that there is a mistake shortly after you have created a new consistency group.

  http://i.imgur.com/5hZT8HQ.PNG

  I raised a support call with EMC with it directly as a first port of call, but it is in its infancy so I thought I would ask if anyone has any idea what could go wrong here. I have exhausted my googleFU skills and I'm at the stage of trying to get some eyes on the issue. I am happy to provide more information if necessary or to answer your questions - what someone might have.

  
  Really hope someone can help!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I got some progress with this so I thought back and share what he needed to solve this problem.

  Essentially, in our environment, we have a VMAX in each site. We have now two servers Manager array with Solutions Enabler (on a Unisphere web) installed. The reason is that we have a VCE Vblock and VCE provided a nursery table server. In addition, we have built our own for the purposes of the SRM and other similar things.

  In essence, we do not configured new servers of facilitators of Solutions fully and missing GNS on them. We have also put in SRDF pairs and above all: GROUPS of DEVICES on the old managers table manually. These groups of devices répliquiez not to the new servers, but the other config (Volumes, etc.) have been! So SRM was trying to talk to our new boxes and only really get half the information on volumes and above all the volume groups.

  Once we have properly configured device groups on each site for the Volumes that were used for SRDF replication, everything started working. Since then, we have been in and double-checked the configuration manager servers on new table and all is good. This solved the problems that I posted above.

  I hope this helps someone in the future!

• VMware SRM Reprotect fails with Peer table ID provided in the SRM of entry is incorrect

  I have the following Setup

  Site-a.

  VMware vCenter 5.1 U1

  VMware SRM 5.1.1

  NetApp SRA 2.0.1P2

  FAS3140C - Data ONTAP 8.1.2P4

  Site-B

  VMware vCenter 5.1 U1

  VMware SRM 5.1.1

  NetApp SRA 2.0.1P2

  FAS3140C - Data ONTAP 8.1.2P4

  I created a Protection Group based at the A Site containing a single VM with a single vmdk disk on an NFS volume.

  The NFS volume is synchronous to the Site-B

  I can perform a migration scheduled to Site B, and then reprotect an another planned migration back to Site A, but then when I try to restore the reprotect again so that I am ready for an another Site-B recovery fails in the first step, configure storage for reverse Direction with " " - Failed to reverse the replication for impossible on the devices. SRA command 'prepareReverseReplication' failed. Peer table provided in the entry MRS. ID is incorrect check the newspapers RS to verify the correct peer array ID. "

  I see nothing on the files or the newspaper of SRM server logs to indicate that it is.

  This occurs for each Protection Group, I create this is not isolated to just this one volume.  I also tried with VMFS iSCSI volumes and get exactly the same results.

  If I create a Protection on the Site-B group I can get back to the Site-A and will not restore to fail to Site-B.

  Initially, I look that the issue I saw is that I could do a backspace, but could not perform a second reprotect because the SnapMirrors were left in the State of evil, but now I see that the problem is that I can't make a reprotect from Site A to Site B.

  I completely uninstalled SRM in both places, removed from the SRM database on both sites and started again but always get the same question.

  I actually IBM N series-N6040 controllers and uses IBM Data ONTAP and SRA. brand got a call open with VMware and IBM but not very far.

  Has anyone seen this problem before and got a solution?

  Now, I've identified what causes this problem and can work around it until there is a fix of NetApp.

  The issue was the name of the file on the recovering Site Server had the same name as the file server on the Site protected with a prefix to the subject, which in my case the recovering Site go was named NSERIES01 and the protection of the Site was DRNSERIES01.  Don't forget that I had already performed a failover and restoration for the protection of the Site was my original recovery Site, so yes give it the site protected for this Protection Group is DRNSERIES01 and the recovering Site has NSERIES01 on this.

  Using the task Reprotect is the first step is to call the SRA with the command prepareReverseReplication, which calls reverseReplication.pl, which is trying to verify the SnapMirror is broken.  It gets the status of all the SnapMirrors run on the recovering Site, which in this case NSERIES01.  It then goes through each of them looking for a match of the local-spin-name section: volume-name of the source of the snapmirror, for example for my test group was trying to match NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test, at this stage of the source of the SnapMirror is DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test which is correct, but because the script uses a pattern matching test it corresponds to NSERIES01 : NFS_VMware_Test to DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test as NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test is contained in DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test. It then checks if the destination of the snapmirror corresponds to the peerArrayID (that is, in this case DRNSERIES01) he does not like the destination, properly, is NSERIES01, and then reports that the peerArrayID is incorrect. If there is no match on the local-spin-name: volume-name of the source of the snapmirror, then he continues to check the destination of the snapmirror, and when it finds a match, it checks if the peerArrayID is the source of the SnapMirror, and if it checks the State of the SnapMirror is broken off.

  I've never touched the issue with the first reprotect because DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test is not contained in the source of the SnapMirror (NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test) and so it will be the next test of verification of the DRNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test in the destination of the SnapMirror, that he finds and then checks the DRNSERIES01 against the destination which is also to and finally confirms that the relationship of SnapMirror is broken-off.

  I had changed the volume on DRNSERIES01 a while ago because I thought that the question could have because of the volume being names the same, but I had changed with a suffix of _Repl on the end and so the script was always corresponding to NSERIES01:NFS_VMware_Test to _ReplNSERIES01:NFS_VMware_TestDR.

  I have now set my group of test as follows:

  Protected site

  Name of the file server = NSERIES01

  Volume name = NFS_VMware_Test_HMR

  Recovery site

  File name = DRNSERIES01

  Volume name = NFS_VMware_Test_EWC

  I can now get on the Site recovery, Reprotect, restoration, Reprotect and Fail-over again and continue achieving recoveries and reprotect again and again as often as you can re - save on VHS of Scotch tape!

  If the file on the Site B server had a suffix on its name instead of a prefix, for example, it was named NSERIES01DR, or had a name completely different then I would never hit this bug in the SRA.  I'll wait for NetApp fix SRA.  In the meantime I will be renaming all my volumes on the site of recovery as well as to avoid this problem.

• Reportection SRM failed in a reverse replication

  Hello

  We have implemented VMware SRM 5.1 with HP EVA P6350 and continuous access. We managed our recovery plan Test between

  two sites back and foam, everything went well. Our client requires us to make a hard Test! So we have shutdown-a-Site and start the recovery

  Site-B process and everything worked well. When we tried to failback to Site A, we had an error in the process of Reportect:

  «Error - cannot reverse the replication for the consistency group «...»» ». SRA command 'prepareReplication' failed for the consistency group. The fault of server 'ExtendedFault' was no message'

  I checked the output of the command for any error and warning messages. But the views of command for both sites are Clean!

  Can you help me solve the problem?

  See you soon,.

  NetRock

  After 5 hours of struggling with the issue, finally I found the solution and the problem, it's ridiculous!

  When you configure the DR group in HP Command View he will appoint the Original volumes and recovery with a same name and makes the scene.

  My setup is as follows:

  Site-a.

  Picture of EVA: SiteA-Array

  vDisk: HP-LUN01

  Site-B

  Picture of EVA: SiteB-Array

  vDisk: HP-LUN01

  The problem was namesake to the vDisks in the recovery and protected site!

  Order prepareReverseReplication SRA may get confused and end if it detects two volumes with the same name and would not begin the inverted duplication.

  So I have re-created the DR-groups and then rename the name of the vDisk in protected area. I added just basically '-Repl ' at the end of the name of vDisk.

  And now the configuration looks like this:

  Site-a.

  Picture of EVA: SiteA-Array

  vDisk: HP-LUN01

  Site-B

  Picture of EVA: SiteB-Array

  vDisk: HP-LUN01-Repl

  Hope it helps guys.

• SAN replication vs VMware SRM on?

  Hello

  I wonder when should we choose as VMware SRM on the owner SAN replication method?

  for the moment, I see a plan of the DR site that would be well if my production environment data can be reproduced by the SAN in the DR site.

  Thank you

  SRM is nice, because it gives you a a (wonderful) DR failover button

  Of course, the disadvantage is the cost and the fact that once you have switched, you will need to reconfigure to backspace.

  SAN is generally cheaper (because the assumption is that you should replication stoarge for SRM anyway), but requires scripts on measurement or manually export and import of virtual machines to operate. It's also a bit harder to work around the question if your VLAN don't is not strained between sites and if the INVESTIGATION period.

  If you're used to the script thouhg, it shouldn't be a problem, so your decision simply come sdown to ease of use, cost and skills,

  Personally, I scripted before and would take the same approach again (even if the SRM is a very good tool) - but I think it is different for a lot (more) like not everyone a) the script, b) trusts their scripts.

  Finally, if you pay someone to adapt, it will be easier to understand what is happening with MRS with a bunch of custom scripts and SRM allows 'dummy runs', which scripts cannot do.

  Good luck and post with your final word please.

• which adapter for MBP 2009 (MD565LL/A)

  I just got back my 2009 mbp which I use primarily as a backup machine or to run a CD rom, now that I have a more recent tune.

  Unfortunately the person that I lent lost the power cord. It seems that I need an adapter model T in FORM 60 W magsafe power MD565LL/A. comments on this adapter on the apple forum are not so great and I remember that my original power cord was a cord in FORM of L and that he was traded for a T shaped card (which is the one that has been lost).

  because this laptop is not worth a ton of money I am unwilling to spend a lot of money on a rope (and I have two cords for my 2015 11 "air (45W magsafe model 2 model power A1436 adapter).

  • in any case, should I drop $ 79 on the apple version?

  should • I get the adapter T-shaped?

  • are there some sort of ADAPTER I could get for two cords, I have currently (mine do not match of course the laptop of 2009).

  • buy one of these used?

  Thanks for any help on this.

  Adapters of origin MagSafe (depending on model/year delivered with) could be

  L or T shape. some can be interchanged. The official notice was

  Try & get identical spare. -Note: Most recent MagSafe2 have a similar appearance

  Although not interchangeable in both directions... it can be confusing in details.

  MagSafe 60w and 85w adaptors could be used on your computer. If it is sent

• CSR 1000v for Vmware Esxi, cannot ping / output

  Hello

  I just installed file eggs a 1000V CSR in my personal laboratory in an ESXi.

  I followed this link:

  http://www.fryguy.NET/2013/12/27/Cisco-csr1000v-for-Home-Labs/

  I have a 1 Giga interface in the vlan by default with the VMXNET3 adapter type as suggested.

  Whenever I turn on the CSR I have configure the interface and I unshut it. Negotiation is automatic (I tried to link hard but without success).

  Problem is that since my pc I can not ping the CSR giga1 interface and vice versa. But on both sides, I see the arp of the interface.

  I tried to change the type of adapter on vmware (VMXNET2 or E1000) but without any help...

  If I turn on a debian or Windows VM on the same network card on the same vlan I can ping or reach it.

  I tried to debug the ip packets, but nothing shows up some questions.

  Config is a default one... there no ACL, not security features, nothing... just an ip address on the giga1 and the no command closed.

  What is there?

  Thanks in advance

  Can say you that it was really the problem.

  I have ESXi 5.5.0 3116895 and I installed CRS1000V 3.17 and it works perfectly

• Build for the success of peripheral liberation but build for debugging device failed

  Hi, I have created new project with the new SDK of my previous old SDK which is already can build release and debug of the device device.

  I'm just copying the file in the src folder and active and made the minor change due change of myApp.cpp to applicationui.cpp

  (I'm doing this because when create export release build, the size of .bar .bar file is big - I'm already the clean)

  When I build this device release is success but for device debugging failed.

  The error is:

  make: * [Device-Debug] error 2

  make [1]: * [debug] error 2

  make [2]: * [o.le - v7-g/myApp] error 1

  How to solve this problem?

  Something I forgot? or things usually cause this?

  Thank you

  Ah I found the solution.

  Must add the .pro file:

  LIBS +=-lbb

  Maybe on the old SDK don't project any need to add this, but the new SDK project may need this (I don't know). But after that I added this on my .pro, the success of my project build on the device debugging.

• vRealize Orchestrator stock adapter for vCops

  I wanted to reach out and see if someone of you all use the vRealize Orchestrator stock adapter for the vRO living vCops and vCops.  vRO 6.0.3 works out of the box with this solution, but I am fighting to get vRO7 to work and are passed to the 'cannot find getvcuuid workflow, full authentication required.

  Any person using this solution with vRO7 and if so how did you fact to work?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Hi Steve,.

  I'm not using this card, but I've seen similar errors on full authentication is required in environments where:

  • vRO is configured with LDAP authentication not; That is to say. SSO or vIDM
  • the client code attempts to call the vRO REST API using Basic authentication via user/password name.

  If your setting of the vRO 7 corresponds to these conditions, pourriez you open the /etc/vco/app-server/vmo.properties file and check if there is a property named com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic - authentication.enabled? This property is required for basic authentication work on SSO/vIDM

  So, if your do not have this property, could you add the following line to the /etc/vco/app-server/vmo.properties file, restart the server from vRO (vco-Server service restart) and check if the adapter works now?

  com.vmware.o11n.sso.basic-authentication.enabled=true
