Force Recustomization in VCD

• 'Putting power and Force Recustomization' PowerCLI

  
  Hi guys!

  I can't find any solution for recustomization VM in vCloud 5.5.

  The sample script:

         $VM_GL = Get-CIVM -Name VMachine -Org $OrgName -OrgVdc $OrgVdcName -VApp $New_Clone
  
          $GuestCustomization = $VM_GL.ExtensionData.GetGuestCustomizationSection()
  
          $GuestCustomization.Enabled = $true
          $GuestCustomization.ResetPasswordRequired = $false
          $GuestCustomization.AdminAutoLogonEnabled = $false
          $GuestCustomization.AdminAutoLogonCount = 0
          $GuestCustomization.CustomizationScript = $CustomizationScript_GL
          $GuestCustomization.UpdateServerData()
  
          $VM_GL.ExtensionData.NeedsCustomization = $true
          $VM_GL.ExtensionData.UpdateServerData()
          Start-CIVM -VM $VM_GL -Confirm:$false
  

  
  In this way the only network parameters and the host name has changed, but script customization is not ongoing. If I do not start the machine in PowerShell and run in the hollow of the Web interface "power on and Force Recustomization" script is running and make changes.

  I find this way of forcing recustomization VM:

  $vm. ExtensionData.Deploy (1,1,0)

  Where to deploy is a method with the following parameters:

  C:\ > $vm. ExtensionData.Deploy.Value

• How to use the API to perform a "Power on and Force Recustomization" 1.5?

  With the help of VMWare vCloud Director, when the virtual machine is turned off, I have the menu ' power on and Force Recustomization "to turn on the machine and do some recustomization work such that reset the administrator password.

  However, I can't do this using the API. The vm/vapp. PowerOn() has no parameters. The vm/vapp. Deploy (true, 0, true) can (re) deploy the vm/vapp and plugged. But the recustomization never runs.

  My code can update the section "customization of the OS invited." I can see it in vCloud Director. And then if I manually ' power on and Force Recustomization ", the machine will be powered on to reset the password. But if I use the above codes, none of them works. So, I conclude that the problem occurs in the sending of the statement of "Power on and Force Recustomization ' using the API.

  Any help will be evaluated.

  Hello

  To perform the PowerOn + ForceCustomization option in the UI by using the API.

  Perform the same operation of the virtual machine deployment.

  Ex: POST - api/vApp/vm-uuid/action/deployment

  XML MESSAGE

                        http://www.VMware.com/vCloud/versions"xmlns:ns6 ="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5"powerOn ="true"forceCustomization ="true"deploymentLeaseSeconds ="10000"/ >"

  Using Java SDK - use of the virtual machine-> deploy();

  Make sure that the customization of the comments is enabled on the virtual computer.

  Make sure that the deployment - forceCustomization and powerOn settings are set to true;

• Force Recustomization via API?

  So, I create a VAPP from a model, as follows:

  VApp Vm = NewerVApp.GetChildrenVms () [0];
  Vm.Resource.name = name;
  _VCloudManager.WaitForTaskCompletion (VM. UpdateVapp (VM. Resource));
  Comments
  GuestCustomizationSectionType comments = Vm.GetGuestCustomizationSection ();
  Guest.ComputerName = name;
  Guest.ChangeSid = true;
  Guest.ChangeSidSpecified = true;
  Guest.AdminPassword = "Password1";
  Guest.AdminPasswordAuto = false;
  Guest.AdminPasswordEnabled = true;
  Guest.Enabled = true;
  _VCloudManager.WaitForTaskCompletion (VM. UpdateSection (Guest));
  Deploy VMS
  _VCloudManager.WaitForTaskCompletion (Vm.Deploy (true, 0));
  Deploy the vApp
  _VCloudManager.WaitForTaskCompletion (NewVApp.Deploy (true, 0));

  However, once the machine starts, it doesn't Sysprep but instead, I get a screen to logon without the new settings.

  If I comment the lines to deploy the VAPP and Vm he created thin, as previously. However, I can then select "power on and Force Recustomization" through the API, which requires the Sysprep to run and change the settings as expected.

  No there is no way to make this reconfiguration forced on poweron via the API? I can find people referring to this limitation in v1.0, but surely, it is a common thing for people to demand?

  See you soon

• Customization of the guest operating system

  Dear people,

  I have a configured Windows 2008 VM and trying to put the password (through comments of vCD properties VM customization). A virtual machine VMware Tools installed and sysprep files are all configured correct in vCloud Director cell.

  I had chosen to activate the customization with Auto generate the password option is selected. The first time, it has generated an automatic password (but I forgot to note - my bad!). After that I thought specify a new and from there, it went wrong. Now I can't log in even after specifying a password. I seems that personalization does not at all. When I put back "Reset Password" AutoGenerate, it shows as "not available".

  Is there a way to recover my old password? What log file have this info? And no idea what causes the problem here?

  / Jas

  Hello

  After you change the password settings in customizing of comments, you must reapply the customization of comments. This can be done by selecting "power and force recustomization ' in the VM menu. Have you tried that? The password is displayed as "Out of stock" until the virtual machine is powered off - it will show the newly generated password, once it is running.

  Kind regards

• VCD 1.5 is not provisioning vms in all data stores

  Hi Experts,

  could someone help me to find why my VCD 1.5 is not put into service of VM in all data stores.

  I have three NFS data warehouses in a VCD and I see that it is not sharing the load between data warehouses. If a volume reached 99% always it is not available on the other Volume that has free space. I heard VCD works on the Round Robin process and also distributes the VM; s in data warehouses.

  Thanks in advance

  Ashok

  With the quick commissioning, we will use the same data store (NFS in your case) that has the existing tree clone linked until you reach the Red threshold of free space.

  Maybe it's not practical with quick commissioning, because once you have 3 GB left... is not a lot of room for the related to grow clones.

  If you want to force the issue, increase the threshold red to something much more on data warehouses.  for example 25% of capacity.

  This will trigger placing of NEW virtual machines on different data stores.

• vCD plugin do not update inventory

  I'm doing some tests with the VMware Service Manager product which can call orchestrator workflows.  I'm doing a search of the newly created TIME and it does not appear in the inventory.  I can see in vSphere with the correct ID, but if I try to locate him through a workflow Orchestrator does not have the item in stock.  If I restart the service orchestrator then inventory seems updated.  Any idea on why this happens?

  Paul

  Hi Paul,.

  It's happening because the change has not been taken of the vCO and because the API vCD doesn't have a notification mechanism to inform vCO as a change that's happened. To force a refresh in the vCO inventrory, you can use the method updateInternalState() on the changed object or parent object.

• How forcefully remove/unprepare a host?

  Howdy,

  In the monitor and manage-> hosts tab I have a host that cannot be repaired or unprepared. I can turn on and turn it off, but it won't go away. VCD has IP connectivity to this host.

  Is there a way to remove a crowd with force?

  What I'm after is starting from scratch (there is a laboratory) without any reinstall or returning to snapshots. Due to this host Rassi, can't detach the current vCenter. The GUI says 'ready hosts still exist. "

  Thank you

  Chris.

  Hi Chris,

  Option 'prepare the host' is available? If so, use this option to prepare the host. If it is not available, then the only way is:

  1. go in VC with vSphere Client

  2. loosen and remove the host of VC

  3. replace the host to the CR

  4. prepare the reception of the user interface of vCloud

  It should work.

  Thank you

• Sierra + Magic Trackpad 2 = Force click with a single finger no longer works

  Since the upgrade to Sierra, did someone else, difficulties with the Magic Trackpad 2 and using the force click to pull up definitions? If I turn it back to "tap with three fingers," it works, but is not the "click with one finger. In fact, I'm not sure I can get this intermediate response click at any point that used to be present in El Capitan.

  Hey Lonnie Warpup,.

  If I understand correctly, you are using macOS Sierra and you try to use the power of touch, but it does not perform this action.
  I would recommend that you read these articles, they explain if your device supports the Force Touch, with a setting to enable and disable the Force Touch and how to set the sensitivity and how to turn the Look up feature words.
  
  

  The Magic Trackpad and Magic Trackpad 2 supports all available on laptops Apple trackpad gestures.

  Sierra macOS: use a trackpad Apple wireless

  1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click Trackpad.
  3. Click on the tab 'Point & Click '.
  4. Find "Click pressure" and adjust the slider according to your preferences. Note that the sound of the click of Exchange with the click pressure adjustment.

  To turn off the click Force function, uncheck the box 'Force Click and haptic feedback'. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

  With the help of a touchscreen trackpad Force - Apple Support

  • Look up a word: CTRL-click on the word or phrase (in some applications, you may need to select all first), then select find from the context menu. Or type the word or the sentence with three fingers (if the gesture is selected in the Préférences Trackpad).

    If your trackpad supports force by one click, you can set the gesture of looking up to use it instead of a tap. (To force the click, press firmly until you hear a click deep.)

• Force synchronization iCloud

  I often use Notes to quickly share data in any of my devices. MacBook Air, iMac, iPhone or for iMac, for example.

  Often, the data moves almost immediately, which is great. Sometimes it takes forever. Okay, maybe several minutes, but it's still frustrating.

  Is there a way to force the Notes application to synchronize with all my devices?

  Thank you.

  -JT

  Try the settings/iCloud and remove the synchronization. Wait a few minutes and then resynchronize.

  Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

  Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?
