• VMWare ESXi host AutoDeploy profile questions 5.1

  All,

  Our Organization has just bought a UCS configuration, and we are working to build on the new system. I have scoured the internet looking for a potential solution, but have not found. We get the following operation:

  VM Auto deployment server

  ESXi PXE boot process

  Set of rules that applies the profile of home on the connection with the vCenter

  We are experiencing a problem where when a host is added to the vCenter, the location of the swap of our host profile file does not apply (the swap file is on a data store that is also configured in the profile of the host). In addition, the vNIC for our vSwitches configuration has two network adapters for standby on all 3 vSwitches. The configuration is the following: two vNIC by switch, the expected host profile configuration is set to active, active. Each vNIC for each vSwitch is on a separate side of the UCS fabric (a and b). Cards network to view DHCP addresses assigned in ranges appropriate for all configurations, but the vNIC is intelligence rather than active, active.

  If more information would help to understand this issue, I am happy to provide.

  Thanks in advance.

  Apparently, it's a known issue:

• AutoDeploy question with the new deployrule

  Hello

  I wan´t to create a new configuration of autodeploy in my test environment. To do this, I use the latest version of vsphere 6 and last power cli version 6.3 release1.

  Following orders which help to create a rule to deploy this automatic add a host to the cluster named "cluster."

  First, add the filing of software

  Add esxsoftwaredepot 'path to the zip file.

  new-esximageprofile - cloneprofile ESXi - 6.0.0 - 20160302001 - standard - name Nested

  This is where the question pops up.

  New-deployrule-name 'test' - point 'Nested', cluster - model "ipv4 = 192.168.1.50"»

  I get the following error message

  

  If I did the same thing with powercli version 6.0 Release 3, the problem does not occur. There is a problem with the 'cluster' point in the command.

  Anyone who would confirm?

  Frank

  Hi Jim,.

  When we create a New DeployRule, we provide objects that contain the values for the switch "Item" (or directly the name of the element, literally).

  This means that below PowerCLI command must work.

  example: new-DeployRule-name - point $img, $hp, $cluster - AllHosts

  In the example above,.

  1) $img is the variable that contains the value of the profile Image. We can create this variable by-' "$img = Get-EsxImageProfile-name ".

  2) $hp is the variable which keeps the value of the host profile. We can create this variable by-' "$hp = Get-VMHostProfile-name ".

  3) $cluster is the variable that has a value of Cluster folder or data center. We can create this variable by-' "$cluster = Get-Cluster-name ".

  It works well with PowerCLI 6.3 Release 1 as well.

• Apply a profile to host several guests to csv

  I'm really close on this one I think.  The content of my hostprofile.csv is:

  'NAME, STATE, STATUS, % CPU, % MEMORY, THE LAST TIME LEAVES STANDBY, ALARM ACTIONS, AUTODEPLOY. "MACHINEIDENTITY, CREATED BY A, FUNCTION, DL, OWNER/APPLICANT NOTIFICATION '.

  "esxdc2s01. "DOMAIN.local, Maintenance Mode, normal, 0%, 2%, never allowed," he said.

  "esxdc2s02. "DOMAIN.local, Maintenance Mode, normal, 0%, 2%, never allowed," he said.

  "esxdc2s03. "DOMAIN.local, Maintenance alert Mode, 0%, 2%, never allowed," he said.

  And my code is:

  $HostList = import-Csv Hostprofiles.csv

  SE connect-VIServer-Server VIRTUALCENTER. DOMAIN.local-"qa\a-dubutcher" of the user-password MYPASSWORD

  # Apply the profile of the host to all virtual machines in $HostList
  {foreach ($Host in $HostList)
  Apply-VMHostProfile-$($Host.NAME) of the entity-profile YKFProfile-confirm: $false
  }

  And my error message is:

  Impossible to replace host variable because it is read-only or constant.
  The C:\Users\dubutcher\Dropbox\VMware\Scripts\Blackberry_Applyprofile.ps1:6 tank

  + foreach < < < < {($Host in $HostList)

  Any suggestions?

  The variable "$Host" is reserved system so that you cannot overwrite it.

  Your update code:

  $HostList = import-Csv Hostprofiles.csv

  SE connect-VIServer-Server VIRTUALCENTER. DOMAIN.local-"qa\a-dubutcher" of the user-password MYPASSWORD

  # Apply the profile of the host to all virtual machines in $HostList
  {foreach ($VMHost to $HostList)
  Apply-VMHostProfile-$($VMHost.NAME) of the entity-profile YKFProfile-confirm: $false

• AutoDeploy 5.1 in ESXi 5.0 environment

  I'll put up an AutoDeploy POC for our ESXi 5.0 environment and one of the objections to another engineer is the availability. He suggested to use the new feature in 5.1 of vSphere Auto deploy without caching and Stateful installs http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2032881

  Know if or have experience with the help of AutoDeploy 5.1 in an ESXi 5.0 environment. Plans to upgrade to 5.1 is disabled in the future and not have a method for caching without State and Stateful installs might be a show-stopper.

  Thank you

  Tim

  Hi Tim,.

  This will work with ESXi 5.1 only, because the host needs to treat the new host profile options that are associated with caching stateless and stateful installs, and will not be an ESXi host 5.0 to recognize and use these options.

• Lost AutoDeploy configuration

  Hello everyone.

  I have a Server Blade vSphere with AutoDeploy 5 for about a month now. I have it configured (deposit, package HA, deployrule based on the MAC address, the host, answer file profile) and it worked very well.

  I rebooted it many times, he come always correctly, the virtual machines are running well with vMotion, software iSCSI, VDS, etc.. Standard features.

  Now I want to configure my other blades using AutoDeploy (new deployrule, same profile host, new answer file) and everything goes wrong.

  When I want to list everything related to AutoDeploy, it returns no value. Get-ESXImageProfile, Get-ESXSoftwareChannel, Get-DeployRule, Get-DeployRuleSet, etc. cmdlets return any value (and no error).

  Now, I dare not to restart this ongoing performance Blade Server, because I fear it will come back to the top.

  What is going on? It is just a display bug, or is it worse? How can I solve this problem?

  Ideas and suggestions welcome.

  Check that the config looks good on the deployment server.  It's good doc for general troubleshooting

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2000988

  Also check the rules etc for questions.  It's good info on these orders.

  http://blogs.VMware.com/vSphere/2012/01/Troubleshooting-Auto-deploy-rules.html

  AutoDeploy GUI is a nice addition to use this product in your environment.  I had a more stable global deployment, using this tool than without it.

  http://labs.VMware.com/flings/autodeploygui

  Worst case it is not too painful if you come to remove the AutoDeploy (clean any old directories as needed) and then reinstall.  You have to re-create your deployment rules, but it is not too big of a deal as long as you don't have to restart servers while you are in the process of reconstruction.

• Remove device management profile?

  Hello

  My friend has an iphone 6 and it hes a company certificate (Swisscom). 1 minute after activation almost all applications disappear, and you can only make calls and take pictures.

  

  Is there a way to remove this kind of profiles?

  Nope. It is the purpose of the profile.
  DEP he made sure that the iDevices purchased by the company is recorded in the DEP always apply the strategy of the company via a profile (using an MDM server) when you set up.

  The only way to change the restrictions is to ask administrators to the Swisscom MDM server - they can modify and manage anything remotely. I'm not familiar with Mobileiron (MDM server provider) - perhaps that he may try you on https://mds01.swisscom.ch/login.html with his credentials of the company? But the chances of him being able to manage the device in this way are very thin.

  My condolences to the Swisscom employees if this madness is standard. There is certainly no need to cripple a phone in this way, unless you work for an agency of 3 letters or something.

• Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)

  After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while.  But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.

  The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.

  Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?

  Hello ExcelsiorPath,

  After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed.  I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.
  
  

  If the other keys do not work

  You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

  • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

  • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

  • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

    To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."

• I've just backed up with an external hard drive for the first time, but my profile with my folders for photos, documents, and movies are not there

  Hello

  So, I finally got an external hard drive. I formatted for Mac (the device has been verified as being correct), and then he started to do a backup, which stated that a full backup would take 95GB. However, it only supported 19GB.  When I have my 'open' backup drive, I saw that only 'Macintosh HD' received support upward, not my user profile with all my folders containing documents, photos, movies, etc...

  I'm quite confused, because I thought that it would save.  I plan on Snow Leopard update to El Capitan, but if something is wrong or I don't like, I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore all my personal files - but only the applications that are on my Macintosh HD.

  Should I delete everything in my backup disk and try again?

  This is an image of what's inside my external hard drive:

  

  You have not indicated how you have saved, if you've used Time Machine then you do things the hard way and you'll find very difficult TM. Please use the Time Machine interface to locate your saved data. You can benefit from the research on:

• MacOS Sierra mobile profiles

  Hi all

  I just upgraded my MacBook to Sierra. I used before mobile profiles. Now I don't get any sync on my Mac server more.

  What I found:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-GB/HT206871

  That means usually only it not there isn´t is possible to store centralized user directories more? It looks like, but this means generally that is missing an important feature of the server.

  Historically there are / were four types of user account.

  1. Only one local user account (stored locally not linked to a directory server)
  2. Login to network Home Directory (stored only on the server, connected to a directory server)
  3. Connection of portable home directory (both stored locally on a server and automatically synchronized, linked to a directory server)
  4. Mobile home connection directory (stored only locally synchronized, linked to a directory server)

  As far as I can see only option 3 above now is no longer supported, the other three options are possible so option 2 would be to store it all centrally.

  Note: Unfortunately, there are several major bugs in OS X.app affecting the telephone network. These bugs have been known for several years and all indications are that they are still not set in the Sierra and.app 5.2. It is still possible to use this configuration, but you can meet these bugs. Some of the worst aspects affect only using Apple Mail, Contacts and calendar. Other programs are much less affected by these problems.

  PS. While Apple is no longer supply their own synchronization of directory under option 3, it is theoretically possible to create your own, for example by running a regular process of rsync between 'local' directory and a location on a server.

• iPhone 6s recorded with someoneelse's media profile

  Hi all

  I tried to find an answer to my questions, but could not find anything with the same details. Here is my case:

  I bought an iPhone 6 a couple of days from an online retailer who buys and sells iPhones used companies in bulk. The iPhone itself is very good, it is not locked or anything either, but when I try to add it to my profile support, he refuses to do. Apparently one who used it had linked to their profile. The dealer cannot help me because they have no details on simple users of the devices they buy. I tried to check with services such as checkmend and others, if this phone has been reported stolen, but it seems obvious. (Checkmend not sure but how trustworthy is if).

  Of course I have the relevant documents to the history that precedes the proof and the dealer seems correct to, it is properly registered in Germany, their eBay account has a couple of hundreds of positive reviews and Google also gives me everything "bad stories" to their subject.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to Apple in charge of save this device to my support profile?

  Thanks for the help!

• Photos of profile missing in Game Center.

  9.3.5 on my iPad and all running for my friends profile pictures have restored initials. How to bring back the pictures?

  I tried signing in and out of Game Center, toggle buttons in different configurations, do a reset on the iPad using the different configurations, also reset while the two signed in and while it is disconnected. I'm running out of options, I know what I can try?

  the photos are missing also in hayday where important power they quickly identify the players. Please help me to recover my profile pictures in Game Center.

  You can probably, at least not immediately. With iOS10 Game Center is still supported, but on these devices running iOS 10 the Game Center app is gone, as is the ability to see the list of his friend. That may be where the photos have disappeared.

  The ability to add friends is now at each game developer and since none of my games were updated, I don't know how they manage, but with no general "here is your friends' interface, which seems to be where the photos went to. (I can't yet see or manage all my friends now the only option in the settings to remove everyone, you do not want to do because, currently, there is no way to add them.

  Now "wait and see" seems to be the best option. See what shakes with individual game developers
