Director of the laboratory on vSPhere & vCenter4

• Director of the laboratory - cannot export to ESXi host (SMBMount unsupported)

  Hi all

  I had this problem since the liberation.  This is my environment:

  Director of the laboratory of 4.0.1

  vCenter 4.0 Update 1

  ESXi (3 guests) 4.0 Update 1

  Shared storage: EMC SAN with NAS volume on gigabit ethernet.

  I opted to use on ESX ESXi VMWare's future, as far as development.

  My problem is this: when I click to export a configuration of Lab Manager, it fails with "Error in export."  The details of the message are:

  * Error export the Configuration.

  vCenter Lab Manager cannot find that any suitable host connected to the "NFS Datastore" data store for this operation.

  Host 'ESXi1' is an ESXi host and does not support smbmount.*

  I installed ESXi being under the impression he was supposed to have all the same functionality as ESX.  Now, I have myself screwed... my users will sometimes have to export configurations to test booting the VMS of USB dongles (as there is no USB transfer directly to a virtual computer that it's time to start).  If at least 3 times a week I have to export virtual machines, one by one, to a network share, which is quite tedious and quite annoying.

  Is on the timeline of development?  I noticed that the 4.0.2 has been released, but by its requirements (http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager402.html#newfeatures) it does not support ESXi 4.x, which is strange because the requirements for Lab Manager 4.0.1 (http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager40.html) list ESXi 4.0 as a host in charge.

  Can someone please shed some light on this issue and maybe get it on the development plan for the next version of Lab Manager?

  Thank you!

  stemplar,

  We don't do generally no update notes version after a product has been released.

  In addition, it is not specific to Lab Manager, ESXi does not support required... orders so Lab Manager is just stating the restriction of resource pools provided.  As far as I remember, ESXi did not support smbmount (or mount-t smbfs) since its inception.

• Director of the laboratory - routing and VLAN

  Hey,.

  So we are currently setting up Lab Manager in our environment, the environment in which we are setting up is a replica of our production environment. In the LABORATORY, we use 13 VIRTUAL networks.

  I use Vyatta to route between the VLANS right now, but we are running into a problem now, 13 VLAN... 3 more that it has configurable s NIC on a virtual machine.

  Aside from trying to convince everyone that we don't need of 13 VIRTUAL networks in a lab environment, are there other possible solutions or have you guys seen or been around something like this configuration before?

  (I've been throwing around the idea of setting up two VM running Vyatta and creation of a separate network who share the two interfaces on one VLAN from the 14th and then distribute the network load between two virtual machines but it's even more work that manually configure an instance of Vyatta in LM whenever someone wants a new workspace to test.)

  What do you think guys?

  I would say that you need to trim more work for yourself in the long term.   If you want a "real" picture of your lab and prod, you can see either plan b of your presentation above and buy physical passes capable of vlan trunking. Not much, we can hope for until Vmware gets beyond the limit of 10 - nic that seems more promising with all support for 10gbe cards now.  Some department stores I've seen can pull off a true mirror of their production environment as they can in their laboratory.  With virtualization, it makes it much easier to achieve.  I hope one day, we can be their one day ;-).

  See you soon,.

• Director of the laboratory on ESXi

  Hi all

  I working on my Masters trying to facilitate virtual laboratories. I configured from now an esxi 4.0 to run host machines and am able to connect to computers. I read on a post that esxi is not supported in vmlabmanger. However, the user's guide says that it could be used as a host.

  Now, I wonder if I can go ahead and use labmanager for the deployment of the laboratories.

  Could you please guide me with the installation requirements and procedure for vmlabmanager running on windows server 2003 and connect to ESXi host

  Thank you

  I know that the new Lab Manager 4 supports (i) ESX 3.5 and 4.0, as noted in the release notes: http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager40.html ... I don't know about older versions

• Director of the laboratory: how much is

  Hi guys,.

  I already have standard vSphere. If I want to buy Lab Manager, how much it costs?

  It is just like in this page:

  http://store.vmware.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage & Env = BASE & local = en_US & SiteID = vmware & id = ProductDetailsPage & productID = 138127300 & resid = MlHJ5QoHAj0AACYDVxYAAAAN & 1250821197140 = rests

  Support for VMware vCenter Lab Manager 4.0 for 1 processor + Platinum (24 x 7) 3 years

  $2 448,70

  Y at - it no limitation as the amount of the virtual machine, we can create, or the amount of the host, we can use with Lab Manager?

  Thanks in advance.

  For the portion of the price, the best if you call the seller serve you on VMware (partner or VMware).

  1 Lab Manager license can only be used in 1 (physical CPU, not the carrots) take of the ESX host. So, if your ESX 4 CPU (say 4 CPUS, total 16 cores), need you 4 license of LM.

  The license does not limit the number of VM.

• Director of the laboratory of vCould Migration

  Finally, we started with a proof of concept in lieu of LM vCD. Still everyone has a few best lessons learned? Networking seems to goo, but has yet to be understood. Plugin remote desktop feels worse.

  -What is the best to do with workspaces?

  -What is a mapping of good organization? For example, for access to the network resources?

  -Is anyone has seen yet, how make an export full of all virtual machines in a paralytic (for example as a backup?)

  Stop the VAPP stops it.  By default it just turns off the virtual machine.  You can change it to a soft stop via the good operating system in the properties of vApp.

  Hot cloning can be done via the user interface, but can be done through the API.  It's the same for the extension of disk space.

• Director of the laboratory by using too many IPs

  Our lab environment manager has a pool of 200 IP to the choice.  We never have more than 100 machines deployed at once, but I continue to turn IP addresses before we brand reatch the 100.  I know that LM uses 1 internal address and an external but where the rest of the IPs go?  Is it possible to empty?

  The internal IP address is reserved permanently or not this VM is powered.  Clones of a VM just overload this assignment of the intellectual property, so that the internal IP address is actually reserved as long as there is a virtual machine or clones of this virtual machine.

• Director of the laboratory, adding new network interface

  Hello. I have a certain virtual machines in a workspace of LM and I would like to add another network interface. I have undeplyed the machine and it gives me the ability to add a new interface, however the interface I just added does not appear. How can I add this interface to a virtual machine that has already been added to a workspace?

  Looks like what you're trying to do is simply add a NETWORK adapter to a virtual computer in a configuration. It is fairly common and is detailed beginning on page 49 here http://www.vmware.com/pdf/lm30_users_guide.pdf. Let me know if it helps.

• Director of the laboratory 4.0.2

  Does anyone know when Lab Manager 4.0.2 is available?

  Right now actually... http://www.VMware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager402.html

• Hosts are not displayed in the laboratory Manager

  I have an instance of Lab Manager 4.02. It works fine, until recently, I had to remove hosts from the instance of LM. While everything was closed, and the hosts were removed carefully, I added the new guests, ensuring you configs were identical, networks etc. Same version and everything. The virtual Center took the boxes, and they work fine.

  Lab Manager will, however, not seen. I confirmed repeatedly that none of my services fail, and no newspaper display errors. But the hosts under laboratory Manager section is empty.

  I checked with wireshark, and I get connectivity, as well as the responses of the Director of the lab - virtual Center.

  I brought the former hosts, with the same effect. I did then the labmanager to other VC instance he had never been associated, and he wouldn't see hosts there either.

  What would cause this? Someone at - he already experienced this? I have data in real-time in the current Lab Director, if I prefer not to rebuild.

  Thank you

  Besides that Graham mentioned,.

  > I brought the former hosts, with the same effect. I did then the labmanager to other VC instance he had never been associated, and he wouldn't see hosts there either.

  The Director of the laboratory cannot be associated with a single vCenter "Data center" object.  He memorizes the Objid of Datacenter and never delete it.  LM 4 should be able to work around this problem, or we can do something to erase the value manually.  But it would be better to try to verify the other steps first has affirmed here.

  > Then under management > resources section, click Resource Pools tab and select the "attach Resource Pool.

  > Select the resouce pool/ESX host you want on the shortcut menu.

  When you perform these steps, take a screenshot (in case it does not work).  I would like to see what objects have the Lab Manager icon already associated with them.

• vCloud connector 2.5 - copy the model of vSphere to vCloud Director fails

  Hi all

  I'm trying to make a copy of the model of the private Cloud for vSphere (e.g. my instance of vCenter lab) the vCloud Director private cloud (my instance vCD lab, which is deployed and registered with the same instance of vCenter mentioned above) with vCloud connector 2.5.

  I have deployed the server component of vCC, configured and deployed two nodes of vCC - a to connect to vCenter for private cloud config vSphere and another to connect to the vCloud Director org for the basic cloud vCD config private. Moreover, the vCloud Director is registered to the same instance of vCenter which is used for vSphere cloud.

  I then tried to open a copy of the model from the vSphere cloud node to the node of vCD. The task to export the OVF template will start, and the task of SCR plugin will also display the copy task. This vCD instance also model any TIME if you go to the properties of the VDC organization selected during the SCR copy Wizard.

  After about 18%, the percentage remains stuck there for a little bit before the 'Export OVF Template"task fails with"Operation timed out ". After that, the task indicated in the vCC plugin will fail also later with (OVF Export failed. Null message) and the import of VAPP model in vCD job will fail also - VAPP failure will take upward of space inside the affected storage however profile until I have manually remove the failing through vCD VAPP model object.

  Anyone else having this problem? I've seen this problem on both environments so far: vCenter 5.1 update 1 with vCD 5.1.2 and vCenter 5.5 with vCD 5.5. If the problem seems to be specific to the version of vSphere. The logs generated by server SCR bee all that useful for me to understand what went wrong did not.

• Not enough memory RAM for EDU-ICM-1301 - VMware - SAMPLE Training Services - on request in the system class: vSphere install, configure, manage course 5.5

  Hello

  I'm looking for the laboratory "EDU-ICM-1301 - VMware education Services - SAMPLE - in class on request: vSphere install, configure, manage course 5.5" but trying to follow the instructions

  LabFiles\vCenter GA Installer

  3. Double-click autorun.exe , click run.
  4. If the security warning dialog boxes appear, click run to continue.

  the installation does not work with because the memory is not enough.

  Have you ever tried this workshop?

  You have a solution for this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes we have seen several times.

  The simple solution is to install ONLY the Client vSphere and not all vCenter Server.  Specified in the manual, but it is up to the user that installation of the client is the option left on the halfway point in the Setup user interface.

  Thank you.

• Will vcloud Director 5.5 compatible with vsphere 5.1U1?

  Hey,.

  We vSphere 5.1U1 running in production and we look at vCloud Director 5.5 for the deployment. But VMware does not have a virtual Director 5.1 appliance and we do not want to buy a server, Redhat enterprise server (we could upgrade vSphere 5.1u1 soon, but due the Veem, we cannot now). Since VMware provides the virtual appliance for vCloud Director 5.5, so I got this question that I can't answer in VMware documents:

  Will vCloud Director 5.5 compatible with vSphere 5.1U1?

  Thank you

  / S

  Yes vCloud Director 5.5 is compatible with vSphere 5.1U1.

• VM console is disconnected in the laboratory Manager.

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem while taking a virtual computer console in the laboratory Manager. I did all the required changes to the security settings. (Under Tools-> custom level) Regarding the article "http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 10233"""

  The ActiveX plug-in is also installed.

  But still, I get the message "CONSOLE IS DISCONNECTED" * in laboratory Manager.

  Lab Manager server and the web console access are in the other domain.

  Am2010,

  You can try the vSphere client to see if it works?  Disconnected console is not so common to an error message.  That looks more like the virtual machine has something to do with it.  If the vSphere client works, we are down to the plugin for IE and your connectivity.

  As a tip, the Console is transmitted directly from the ESX host.  This means that you must have TCP Port 902/903 open between the computer running the ActiveX plugin and the ESX host that is running the virtual computer.  If the vSphere client worked, then the ports must be open... but still there may be problems.

  Your laptop / desktop will have to resolve the host name, IP or FQDN depending on how introduced the host ESX to vCenter Lab Manager and.  If you go into your workspace, and then click the name of configuration... it appears the IP or the ESX host name in a column.  See if you can ping your local system.
