• DRS anti-affinity rules

  Hello world

  I want to create anti-affinity rules machine virtual-VM for 4 virtual machines. We use vSphere 4.0 U2 on our environment.

  What would be the number of rules that are created on the DRS Cluster?

  It's 6 rules? What is different now.

  4 VMS = 6 rules (VM1/VM2 VM1/VM3 VM4/VM1, VM2/VM3, VM4/VM2, VM3/VM4)

  If you upgrade to vSphere 4.1, that one rule would be necessary, but I guess on 4.0, you must create these six different rules.

  "Finally, rules anti-affinity machine VM-virtual can now integrate more than two virtual machines." Here, VMware DRS try remove the virtual machines specified. Users could use this rule to ensure that some virtual machines are always on different physical hosts. »

• Backup/restore DRS VM affinity/anti-affinity rules - can they be backed up and restored without re-entering manually after DRS disabled?

  DRS VM affinity/anti-affinity rules - these are lost when the DRS is off - they can be "listed" via perl or script Toolkit VI to return to manual if necessary.

  But can they be backed up / restored through automated methods for easy recovery in case required or accidental deactivation of the DRS? What happens if a user of vCenter turns off instead of the manual setting during operations?

  I have over 100 + VM DRS affinity/anti-affinity rules to maintain.

  There are indeed several DRS rules related cmdlets in the VITK 1.5.

  The following script will save all rules in a .txt file.

  $outfile = "C:\rules.txt"
  Remove-Item $outfile
  $clusterName = 
  $rules = get-cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-DrsRule
  
  foreach($rule in $rules){
    $line = (Get-View -Id $rule.ClusterId).Name
    $line += ("," + $rule.Name + "," + $rule.Enabled + "," + $rule.KeepTogether)
    foreach($vmId in $rule.VMIds){
      $line += ("," + (Get-View -Id $vmId).Name)
    }
    $line | Out-File -Append $outfile
  }
  

  The reason why we are writing the rules in a .txt file is because the type of 'Solidarity' with the rules can have 2 or more guests defined.

  This type of info (variable length table) is impossible to export to a. CSV file.

  The 2nd script reads this external file and sets the rules.

  $file = "C:\rules.txt"
  $rules = Get-Content $file
  
  foreach($rule in $rules){
    $ruleArr = $rule.Split(",")
    if($ruleArr[2] -eq "True"){$rEnabled = $true} else {$rEnabled = $false}
    if($ruleArr[3] -eq "True"){$rTogether = $true} else {$rTogether = $false}
    get-cluster $ruleArr[0] | `
      New-DrsRule -Name $ruleArr[1] -Enabled $rEnabled -KeepTogether $rTogether -VM (Get-VM -Name ($ruleArr[http://4..($ruleArr.Count - 1)|http://4..($ruleArr.Count - 1)]))
  }
  

  [The trick used for guests, it's that we select the part of a table with the \[a... scoring b\].

  Currently, you will need to run the first script for each cluster separately, but this could be easily adapted to run on all clusters in your VI.

• SQL 2012 still on the use of affinity rules

  Hey guys,.

  I use SQL 2012 alwaya time on in a virtual, but so far, it is not configured as best practices and environment I wanted to change that.

  At the moment I have no DRS rules in place so it can happen that two virtual machines running on the same host and it's something I want to avoid.

  However, my big problem is that I only got a SQL license for two hypervisors and best practices talked about four hosts who are needed to achieve my goal.

  Here is what I intend to implement:

  -Affinity rule machine virtual-VM to separate two virtual machines

  -Affinity VM host rule which VM1 MUST run on ESX1

  -Affinity VM host rule that VM2 MUST run on ESX2

  This configuration is a good idea or could / should I do something different?

  What I found that all the features how for example the evacuation and HA should still work?

  There are many more ESX servers in this group and they will be used in the case of an outtage, right?

  Also there is a dev environment that looks the same. I could include the hosts in the same VM-Host affinity rules or should I create new ones?

  BTW. I am using vCenter and ESX 5.5.0.

  Thank you very much!

  See you soon

  Affinity rules those you intend to sense. These rules will not be those virtual machines to be on the same host most of the time.

  Note:

  1 rule of VM host is configured as "SHOULD", in extreme cases, DRS can break these rules. However, in the next invocation of DRS, DRS will try to resolve the violations.

  2. Note that: when you keep either the host in maintenance (ESX1 or ESX2) mode, you must manually migrate the VM to another host due to the virtual-VM anti rule machine affinity. DRS even in full auto mode, VM will not be migrated automatically. This will apply only if there are only 2 host in the cluster.

  3. Yes, HA should well with that: however HA is not aware of the rules 'EXPECTED' and in the case of host failure it can not respect 'SHOULD' rule.

  4 rule anti-affinite VM - VM can be sensitized HA using the advanced option. Let me know if you want to help with that.

  5. Yes, failure of other hosts in the cluster will be used but please updated on impact due to rules & licenses.

  6. "There is also an environment-dev which looks the same." I did not follow what exactly you mean here:

  7 migration threshold settings DRS is also important.

  8 DRS gives priority to the prevention of violations of anti-affinity rules machine virtual-VM that violations of rules of affinity. (it's just for your info.)

  Nevertheless,.

  1. If ESX1 falls down or affinity rule VM host that VM1 MUST run on ESX1 gets violated: VM1 can be migrated to other hosts in the cluster. As you have no licenses (more than 2) SQL, how it would be dealt with (I'm not very updated on the SQL licenses)

  2 point above applies to the second rule of VM HOST as well.

• There are advanced settings for VM - VM affinity rules?

  Hello world

  First time post, but I have found extremely useful forums in search engine results so thought I should get involved as much as I can.

  Anyway, I was asked a question about the rules of affinity, and I was not able to find the answer anywhere, so I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction please.

  My client gave me a list of VMs that are 'pairs' - by that I mean that they both the same, but act is turned on and the other is used only if the virtual direct machine is not reachable. There is nothing intelligent power which, as grouping or well HA within the OS.

  We asked me to make sure the pair of VM could not be fed by the same ESXi host, thus following the documentation for VMware, I created a virtual-VM affinity DRS machine rule. I was asked to test it, and honestly, it works a treat. However, the result is not desired. Unfortunately, I can not give too much information because of policies, but I'll try my best to explain the whole upward and deliver.

  The rule stops two virtual machines are hosted on the same ESXi host at

  VM1 is the direct server, VM2 is the backup server

  Both of the above are in the relevant rule

  There are 8 hosts in the cluster

  HA and DRS are enabled on the cluster

  ESXi version 4.1

  If I manually start a vMotion VM2, send to the host who currently hosts VM1, it seems to happen: VM2 vMotion gets 78% > > DRS Rules are evaluated > > VM1 is vMotion had to a new host > > VM2 vMotion ends when VM1 is off the host

  However, I am told that the customer would have preferred that the VM2 vMotion fails, or the vMotion process automatically sends elsewhere, rather than invoke a VM1 vMotion.

  I'm not quite sure what is happening in the case of a real event of HA, I'm sure I read that HA not take account of the DRS Rules? The foregoing only happens because it is a manual vMotion? Or y at - it a better method that I forgot?

  Thank you

  Paul

  Unfortunately, as you use vSphere4.1, you're out of look about the DRS control over an HA event, it's a feature of 5.x

  If you do a manual vMotion then you are effectively denying your rules of affinity of DRS, until she physically check the rule during the migration.  It's as good as it gets.

• Evacuation and binding affinity rules

  I have a 5.5 ESXi host called ESXi1 in a group of DRS host called "host of ESXi1 group.  No other ESXi host is in this group, but there are 4 other ESXi hosts in the cluster.  I have a VM called 'VM1' in a virtual machine DRS group called "group virtual machine VM1.  No other VMS are in this group of DRS.

  VM1-> "VM1-machine group.

  ESXi1-> "host of ESXi1 group.

  There is a mandatory rule of DRS that says MV in the 'machine VM1 group' working only with ESXi hosts in the 'host ESXi1 group'.  What happens when I try to put ESXi1 host in maintenance mode?  He will be able to evacuate VM1 since there is no other host in the Group VM1 to work?

  Yes. Answer is 100% correct. If configured VM host affinity/anti-affinity rule is ESSENTIAL, it cannot be violated. Same vSphere HA respects the rules of the VM-host must. Even you can not manually migrate this VM1 to another host. Maintenance mode also cannot assess the host. Even if there is imbalance CPU/Memory, DRS will always obey this rule.

  If you want this rule to be flexible, you can configure the same thing as "soft / should" rule. In this case, rule is violated every time that it is absolutely necessary (like MM, HA does not respect this rule, you can manually migrate VM to others, the DRS in a balanced cpu/memory can violet this rule) but notes that in the immediate following invocation of the DRS, DRS will try its best to resolve the violation of the rules.

• Why the MCU is automatically added to the conferences in TMS?

  Info:

  Endpoints: Tandberg 6000 MXP & 95 MXP

  TMS: 13.2.2

  Codian MCU 4510: Software version 4.4

  Tandberg GK: N6.3

  Tandberg BC: Q6.3

  When I create a conference at TMS and want an end point to compose our system to an MCU on another site (confined), the our local MCU is automatically added to the Conference, for some reason any.  For example, if I create a conference with room 123 and number 'Dial Out' external 2222222, TMS adds MCU of our system and forces to compose both room 123 and 2222222, which is totally useless.  This should be simply, what is the endpoint is, a direct line to 2222222.  Why the MCU is being added?  This will use licenses MCU in haste when it is not necessary at all.

  I went through TMS > administration tools > Configuration > General settings, network settings and conference settings and cannot understand why the MCU is added.  If we dial manually, no problem.  My goal is to automate the entire composition, however.

  Pointers?  I put some of the parameters of the TMS > Admin Tools > Configuration > Conference settings below.

  Hello

  Reduce the bandwidth of conference help? TMS could add a MCU if it detects that one or more participants do not support the bandwidth conference.

• Library of cc InDesign automatically adding items

  I've implemented several new libraries of cc in InDesign. However, whenever I create a new color swatch or paragraph style it is automatically adding them to my library of cc. How can I stop this from happening?

  No document open, open the swatches Panel (Panel paragraph Styles or character Styles Panel). In the Panel menu (for example, the swatches Panel), choose new swatch. Uncheck the add libraries CC at the bottom of the dialog box. The same can be done for the other panels.

  When you create a new document, it will keep this default.

• HA and affinity rules & book by Duncan & Frank

  VMware vSphere reading 5 clusters of Duncan & Frank (Pocket v1.0) deepdive, I'm confused.

  On page 212, second paragraph, it says (roughly) VMware HA is not aware of the virtual-VM anti machine affinity rules, and after an HA event may begin on the same host. But on page 215, second paragraph, it says (roughly) HA will not violate the mandatory rules after HA failover.

  This seems to contradict itself.

  I can not type the full section due to copyright.

  Is anyone able to explain it?

  See you soon.

  Hello

  There are two types of rules:

  1. VM - VM affinity rules
  2. VM - host affinity rules

  HA is not aware of the first, machine virtual-VM, so any rule you create here will be ignored by HA.

  Now, for the second, it's a bit more complicated... There are two types of VM - affinity host rules:

  1. Bride aka mandatory
  2. Expected preferential aka

  HA will respect 'must' of the rules, but will be no respect for the rules 'should '.

  That's what means the book.

• Affinity rules

  What are the "rules of affinity".

  Thank you

  Prashant

  Affinity rules you can define a rule for example that a specific virtual machine only works on a single host (you choose). Or the other way around: one or more virtual machines are not allowed to run on host A & B for example.

  This is often used in combination with license policies.

• Photoshop "save under" problem. Not automatically added .jpg extensions.

  Can someone please give me a tip?

  My old computer broke down and I bought a new one.

  In the past when I chose "save under" and then selecting the type of file ('Format' drop) Photoshop and JPG, I didn't have that typing the name automatically added ".jpg".

  On the new computer, it doesn't work anymore.

  Now I select "save under"... the file JPG of Type... I give it a name and... Photoshop saves without extension

  later, it cannot be seen when I want to open the file.

  That's happened?

  My system is Windows 7 Home Premium, as my old system.

  I guess because each of these issues that I have encountered was caused by points in the name of the file :)

• string ' / viewController-context-root "automatically get added in the CSS rule

  My version of jDeveloper is 12.2.1.0.0

  
  

  I expanded the alta-v1 skin and put a CSS rule in there that would apply to a background image of an element. The CSS rule is as follows:

  .notification.bell{
      background-image:url("/images/bell.png");
      background-repeat:no-repeat;
      background-position:center center;
      background-size:70% 70%;
  }
  

  When I run the page and display the CSS rule in Firebug, this is what happens in:

  .notification.bell {
    background-image: url("/ViewController-context-root/images/bell.png");
    background-position: center center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 70% 70%;
  }
  

  I made sure that I am editing the CSS file by changing the name of the file from bell.png to bell2.png and it was reflected in Firebug. What I can't understand, is why is the extra string added to the URL and hence.

  PS: I also noticed a strange thing at the moment. The URL in the address bar appears as

  http://127.0.0.1:7101/ViewController/faces/home.jspx

  Should also contain the name of the project? Something like this:

  http://127.0.0.1:7101/myProjectName/ViewController/faces/home.jspx

  A I spoil with a frame inside jDeveloper?

  User, I need to check the css thing. I have never seen it myself, but never looked especially for her.

  The second part of the question is easy to answer: the string you see is defined in the viewcontroller project root context parameter. Set this parameter to something that you like and start the application again. You should see the new value of the parameter.
