DR-IP-Customizer customization specification fails on the stimulus Plan

• SRM customization specifications

  I have a few questions about the specifications of customization for MRS.  The documentation covered extensively the subject.  From documentation fragmented, I can understand only the recovery site customization specification is needed and only retains the intellectual property information.  The rest of the fields are ignored (name, Department, license key, etc.).  If the dr-ip-customizer tool is used to export a new specification of customization on the server in recovery, SRM, the only specified fields are IP related fields.  The rest of the fields in the specification of customization would be missing.  How the mini Setup Wizard can actually reconfigure the virtual machine with these missing fields? In addition, must the sysprep files be installed on the server vCenter recovery?

  Thanks in advance.

  Quickprep process that runs during the customization of the stimulus plan doesn't only scratched the IP settings, it is slightly different from that of the standard process of sysprep.  The sysprep files are not necessary on the SRM server, everything you need is installed with MRS.

• After execution of the recovery plan, the Test is greyed out

  I missed successfully test on 2 virtual machines running the recovery as part of our POC plan.  I have powered down VMS protected and recovery, initiated a resynchronization on the volume of SnapMirror and intend to continue to use the same recovery plan for additional tests.  However, the Test option for the recovery plan is dimmed (Run option is still available).  What I need to remove the stimulus plan and recreate a whenever I run a Run and not a Test?  It is a chore because I need to re-add the customizations (messages, orders), update priorities and so on.  I use SRM v4.1.1.

  Hello

  You need to re - create groups of Protection that is pushed. Stimulus plans do not need to be re-created, but you will need to reconfigure to include recreated protection groups. All customizations related to virtual machines (priorities, orders, customizations) must be configured again.

  It was a case in the 4.x versions, don't think that changed in 5.0.

• Wait for the progress of OS Heartbeat of the stimulus package delays

  I'm running my test stimulus plan, but not not using the network of bubbles that I can see the virtual machines on the network.

  I noticed that even if the virtual machines are started, vmtools loaded and IP address information has changed (because of the VLAN different), the recovery plan is sitting on waiting for OS not heartbeat for about 5 minutes.

  It is not out of time, but moves on the next VM without problem but 5 minutes per VM performs too slow failover.

  Anyone know why the stimulus plan is abandoned for so long waiting for a heartbeat OS even when everything seems to work normally?

  no problem... scary I responded to a post without replying to the original message magically... or by e-mail with more precision

  (b) set incorrect permissions

  (c) corrupted somehow

  For me, the problem was intermittent (same registry key would sometimes cause the issue and sometimes not - must be corrupted sometimes) so it was impossible to tell what program it was.  Fortunately, there is a newspaper, you can watch that will tell you exactly what registry key is slightest mistake out.  Here are the steps to get the newspaper, you must see:

  When you see the error message, follow these steps:

  1.) press SHIFT + F10 to get to a command prompt

  2.) stand C:\windows\Panther

  3.) find the Setup.etl file and find a way to copy this file out of the system (I copied it to the partition D:\ and Ghost used to collect this partition and down the file)

  4.) copy the file to another computer that has Windows 7 setup.etl corrupt system.  Place it at the root of C:\ for easier access.

  5.) open a prompt on the Windows 7 computer.

  6.) navigate to the root of C:\ (or anywhere where you saved the file)

  7.) type "tracerpt setup.etl o logfile.csv.

  8.) close command prompt and open logfile.csv in your text editor of choice.

  9.), look in the log file (near the end, probably) for messages that say "Failed to key"reg"process or one of its descendants" to me, the exact eror looked like this: "failed to process the"reg"key or one of its descendants: [profile \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000200\Profiles\@My] ' If you search for"«key reg"' or «failed in the process»»» You should find the failure.

  10.) remove this software from your image, or how to get the registry key that does not work properly.

  After that, you should be able to correctly identify any key problem and the elimination/workaround on your image.

  find someone who does, or create new customization techniques.  Because the passwords are encrypted in the customization specification, when you export an environment and in another, you must update the administrator password.

• Customization specification does not

  When I create a machine virtual of RHEL5 using a customization specification in vCenter server, it will not fill default gateway.  Has anyone seen this problem?  She fills the IP, subnet, DNS servers, etc. mask, but not the default gateway.  It's vSphere4

  Thank you!

  If you deploy a machine with multiple network cards, when you modify customization specification and select custom under network settings you configure each vNIC independently.  So you would select just New to add more customizations vNIC and in each of them, you specify a gateway (in addition to the IP address and the subnet mask).  The machine would have a separate default gateway defined for each vNIC.  You should see these files in sysconfig.  By example, if you have 2 NICs for you should see 2 files called route-eth0 and eth1-route in this directory.  These files will have the default gateway defined for eth0 and eth1, respectively.

• Problem with customization specifications setting Administrator Password Manager

  I have two problems.

  I have a model R2 Windows Server 2012 in a vCenter 5.1 (Build 1123961) environment. I created a vSphere Client Windows customization feedback, however, (and the main issue) I notice that it does not have the administrator password to what I entered after it don't this is sysprep deployment of a model.

  I've created a script around to do this, which works very well, unless I experience my second question. When customization is started, it creates the event "vim.event.Customization.StartedEvent". He is then supposed to create the 'vim.event.CustomizationSucceeded' event once it has successfully managed the customization, including the command sysprep (and setting the password). Occasionally, but does not trigger the event "vim.even.CustomizationSucceeded" until the days or weeks after the initial event of beginning of customization, which will cause the sysprep crush my difficulty scripts and not allow me to log in under the administrator because of the question first, main account.

  Any thought to why sysprep does not have the administrator password to what I specified in the customization of the OS? Or why the successful event of customization does not always raise after it was launched (in minutes and not days/weeks)?

  I ask just once more: the administrator password model guest empty OS?

  vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre : you can change the administrator password if the password for administrator on the Windows virtual machine is empty. If the model or the Windows virtual machine already has a password, the administrator password does not change.
