• Machine virtual Windows 7 - freezes\reverts of the screen when going from Windowed to full screen and vice versa.

  I use a Win7 box with a Machine virtual Win7 on it.  When I started using the VM, it should start and login and work very well.  Shortly after I started having the following problem.  It loads in windowed mode, so I me the welcome greenish\blueish after cutting inside.  If I wait for the Office to load, when I do the full VM screen, it goes full screen then the screen goes to the Welcome screen again, but it's just a static image.  It won't change until I have send a Ctrl-Alt-Del command.  Can I get the normal window with options for logging, start the Task Manager, etc..  If I press ESC or click Cancel, it will show the office and I can work on it without problem.

  If I leave full screen mode windowed after that, the same thing happens, except instead of the Welcome screen, I get the screen of Ctl-Alt-Del as a static picture.  Once again, if I send the Ctrl-Alt-Del command, then cancel, I get the office as usual and it will work until I have try to resize the screen again.

  Can someone help me understand what is happening?

  Thanks in advance,

• vROPs - you can create a report to show when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?

  I can't currently developing a report/view that can show me what I'm looking for.  I thought since it's related capabilities vROPs can keep track.  Is there a way to see the when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed?  Looking mainly vdisk, vCPU or vRAM.

  Thanks for help or suggestions.

  Hi newbski1,

  There are few things you can try to help him with this.

  1. the events view shows you changes in resources, it is not terribly detailed, but it will help

  2. depending on your version, you can also view in Configuration Manager that is part of the vRO suite that will show you the changes to configurations.

  See you soon

• Random virtual machines after vMotion and Storage vMotion network loss

  Hi all -

  I have a couple of tickets open with VMware and our supplier of SAN, EqualLogic, on this issue.  Since the configuration of our production and DMZ clusters we noticed that the virtual machines will sometimes drop network connectivity after a successful vMotion and Storage vMotion.  Sometimes, although much less frequently, virtual machines also spontaneously lose network overnight.  What happened only a few times.  The strange thing is that the other guests on the VM host are fine - they lose any network.  Actually, I can do no more than 3 computers virtual host to another, and 2 of 3 can switch correctly, so that we lose the network.  The work around?  Simply 'disconnect' from the virtual NETWORK card 'reconnect' and the virtual machine will start the return packets.  I can also switch the VM troubled return to the host State and it will find the network.  I can it reboot and re - win network.  I can re - install the virtual card completely, and she re - win network.

  VMware has seen a lot of mistakes of SAN in our log files in order to update us our SAN firmware to the latest version.  That seems to have fixed that but we still have the issue.  Here are some of the specifications - all environments are virtually identical except for memory:

  Of PowerEdge R810

  NICs Broadcom 5709

  EqualLogic SAN running 5.0.5 F/W

  We use frames.  ESXi is fully patched.  I haven't seen a boss or not, it is only some guest operating system that loses the network, but we are a Windows environment.

  When a virtual machine loses the network, we can not:

  • Ping to it
    
  • Ping it
    
  • Ping him at the virtual machines on the same host or vSwitch
    
  • Ping outside our network
    
  • resolve DNS, etc..
    

  I followed some KBs VMware without success, including:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003839
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & externalId = 1002811 (port security is not enabled)

  -All the VMware tools have been updated to the latest version correct and corresponds to the ESXi host
  -Connected to the service ESXi console, I cannot ping the VM problem by name of host or IP address, but I can ping do not affected by the issue of the OTHER virtual machines.  I can also pings the service console.
  -Connected to the troubled virtual machine itself, I cannot ping other virtual machines, I can't resolve host names, I cannot ping by IP.  The machine virtual CAN ping itself by IP, but not hostname.  I cannot ping other virtual computers on the same virtual switch or network by either IP or host name.  I can't ping the vSwitch network management.
  -All vSwitches are configured in the same way and the same.
  -Notify the switches is set to yes
  -There are a lot of available virtual ports
  -We tried the E1000 and VMXNET virtual cards with no difference.
  -All cards are configured to negotiate, but we tried to force individuals speeds as well as with no difference

  I appreciate your help.  I have problems getting anywhere on this issue with the sellers.

  Still having the issue...

  Sometimes, it might be useful to really check that all uplinks VMNIC for all VLAN does work them. Try this is to create a new portgroup on the vSwitch used by your virtual machines on the host of the first, put a test VM on the portgroup, then go into the NIC teaming policy from the new portgroup and select "Override switch command failover."

  Then down vmnic all except one in unused, then only a single VMNIC is active. Then set the portgroup VLAN to a production of VLAN and try to see if we could ping some expected from the different addresses. If it works, then move VMNIC work until unused and move up to another asset. Try again, and this for all the vmnic. If it works, then you have verified that the configuration of VLANS and other settings are correct on the physical switch in the face of this host ports.

  If several VLANs, repeat the process for all other productions VLAN. Then repeat on the other hosts.

  While that may take some time, occurs if everything is properly configured on the physical switches. When occurs a vMotion virtual machine gets a new "Port code" and is assigned to a new outgoing VMNIC. If there is an error of configuration on one or more physical ports that might seem random, but may still happen on VLAN x on y VMNIC. Given that Port ID policy you use indeed spread randomly VMs on the vmnic these problems may be difficult to diagnose. (Make a disconnection of the VM vNIC gives the virtual machine a new port-ID, which it will move to a new outgoing VMNIC, which might seem to solve the problem.)

• Pre-built virtual machine with OBIEE and APEX

  Hi all
  
  I searched for a virtual machine with OBIEE and APEX pre-installed, but I can't find it... or information messages on this subject. Does anyone know if y at - it a selection of pre-designed developer programs VM with these two tools?
  I currently have the "database App Development VM' with APEX in there, but I can't understand how to install OBIEE inside.
  
  Any help will be appreciated.
  
  Please, if this is not the right category where I should ask the question, let me know and I'll move it.
  
  Thank you.
  Elena.

  PL see deployment guide in the link above - the model of computer virtual includes version of database 11.2.0.3, which should be the APEX installed by default in it. If this isn't the case, it will be much easier to install the APEX in the VM OBIEE.

• public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

  Hello

  So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

  Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

  Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

  vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

  vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

  My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

  So my proposed configuration would be:

  vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

  vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

  vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

  If it works?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

  Otherwise how does he know all send properly?

  Thank you

  Please, once you connect to the application server Peoplesoft VM with psadm2, run the following:

  env|grep LANG
  

  And post the result.

  LANG should be C, if this isn't your side follow these steps:

  export LANG=C
  

  And re-start the Appserver field.
  To keep consistency during the startup of the server, add the line in the psadm2 user .bash_profile.

  Changed the .bash_profile or any other initialization file? Because everything should be fine by default.

  Nicolas.

• New-DrsRule - anti-affinite rule Max 2 VM

  Hi all

  I use vSphere PowerCli 4.1 for import and export of objects of vSphere and I was wondering if someone could give me the truth about the rules of the anti-Affinity DRS.

  Specifically, if the number of VM limit is always capped at two.

  The reason why I ask this is that when I try to create a rule anti-XXX for three VM from the command line with the following command:

  New-DrsRule-Cluster (Cluster-Get-name $DRSR.cluster)-name DRSR. Name - Enabled $True - KeepTogether $False - VM (VM - Get $DRSR.vms)

  I get the following error:

  New-DrsRule: 26/07/2011-15:30:24 New-DrsRule you must specify 2 or more VMs if KeepTogether option is set and only 2 virtual machines if KeepTogether option is not set.
  Online: 1 character: 12
  + New-DrsRule < < < <-Cluster (Cluster-Get-name $DRSR.cluster)-name DRSR. Name - Enabled $True - KeepTogether $False - VM (VM - Get $DRSR.vms)
  + CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [new DrsRule], VimException)
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_ComputeResourceServiceImpl_TryValidateDrsRuleVMCount_InvalidVmCount, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.NewDrsRule

  However, I am able to create the rule through vCenter.

  What I'm missing here? Is the rule that I create in vCenter not actually applied?

  Did he able to put me in stright?

  Thank you!

  Thank you.

  You are right, the New-DrsRule cmdlet when it is used for an anti-affinite rule limits the number of guests to 2.

  I suspect that this is for historical reasons.

  In environments of pre-version 4.1, I think it was indeed a limitation, even in the vSphere client.

  So yes, I'm afraid that you have to adapt the script to create anti-affinity rules 2 by 2.

  Fortunately, you can use a simple loop nested to create rules.

  Something like this for example

  $vms = "vm1","vm2","vm3","vm4","vm5","vm6"
  
  $j = 1 1..($vms.Count-1) | %{
      $i = $_    ($i - 1)..0 | %{
          New-DrsRule -Cluster (Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster) `        -Name ("Rule" + $j) `        -KeepTogether $false -VM (Get-VM -Name $vms[$i],$vms[$_])
          $j++    }
  }
