Incomplete vSphere HA task

• Path to script and automate the vmkfstools command?

  Very long story short, running vSphere 5, I need a way to execute the command 'vmkfstools y 60' against my stores of data to recover free space on my table of Compellent SAN.

  This article explains the command and the object: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2014849

  From one or more hosts, I so need to go into each VMFS data store and run the command "vmkfstools y XX" to reclaim space. Otherwise the Compellent table see SVMotion jobs and snapshots as "new entries" and never release the free space.

  To automate this, I would use PowerCLI and maybe just run the script as a scheduled my vSphere Server task.

  I understand also the VMA device can do this kind of stuff, but I don't understand how to automate/schedule tasks with it more I prefer using PowerCLI.

  Anyway, sorry for the question noob and thanks in advance. Any help is very appreciated!

  The problem is we use thin Volumes put into service on a Board of 3par, with T10 off Unmap (which is now the default) freeing up space by deleting a virtual machine or by a storage vmotion means space gets released to the VMWare/data store layer and can be reused by Vpshere but he is not recovered at the Array level , delivering a vmkfstools, writes a file in the data store removes it returns T10Unmap to the matrix, the 3par then and returns this space to the free pool. It works when we manually we just want until VMWare decide UNMAP turn automate it.

• 6.1 VDP on vSphere WebClient 6.0 fails to display the status of recent tasks (VICLIENT shows something completely different... real information!)

  Hello

  Running vCenter 6.0 and 6.1 VDP and after launching a backup job (via web client vSphere) I can see the beginning of the task, but only using recent tasks of the viclient (IT IS NOT display any status or progress via the web client).  Now what makes this problem, a question is that of the virtual machine, I didn't go to the backup task to create a shapshot.  The ONLY REASON I know this is because recent tasks viclient showing the progress of the task of backup drew my attention to the question.  Even after a refresh several times in the webclient service indicates that the work was done, never completed, or FAILURE under section tasks recent.  Research in the section alarms the web client fails also show no indication that there was an instant failure on one of the backup jobs.  The only way to view the State would look at Console tasks in web client I could also see the work and not a backup but unless you have already searched for failure would not have known you.

  It's very relative when VMware push customers to use the web client over and the viclient seems even less we continue losing features.  Has anyone else had this problem with VDP 6.1?  If so is some fix allow some "RECENT TASKS" to actually show the same status in the web client and the viclient (they speak both the same vCenter then why don't they contain the same information?)  Accurate builds I use are the following

  vCenter Server 6.0.0 build 3018524

  POS 6.1.1.19

  ESXi 6.0.0 build 3620759

  And before his suggested the race the POS 6.1.2 (latest version), I've tried and that version had problems more large gel and omitting so I use the version seems to be more stable :-)

  Not sure that you use the same user used in POS configuration page Try connecting web client with the user used to record POS with vCenter.

• Where can I get a complete list of all types of events (tasks and events) vSphere

  Hi all

  I am looking for a way to get easily all types of events (events and tasks) that you normally see in the client vSphere for vCenter / ESX host.

  What I would like is the name of actual event/task for all types that are available. I know that there is the event manager in the CROWD that could be used to query for specific events, but it would be possible to get all the possible return types?

  Otherwise, if there is a document that lists all of them could someone tell me, who would also help!

  Thank you very much

  Sean

  Yes, that is all documented in the vSphere API reference Guide

• Tasks scheduled in Vsphere

  I'm relatively new to vmware, but y at - it an easier way to plan all your s VM restarting every weekend?  I have to manual Appendix a market power and of course when are recomposed VM all these tasks are again. I'd appreciate any help or pointing me in the right direction.

  Thank you!

  As far as I KNOW, how we try to restart a virtual machine of the client vSphere and vCLI does not have a clean reboot (itself). So I recommend you to choose a few scripts that are allowed to run inside the operating system.

  If you run all the virtual machines of Windows, I recommend you to follow the path mentioned here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverGP/thread/3608dd77-3727-4cc6-b3c6-cfcf1a486a2a/

  I see that this question is answered in the top of this thread. But I couldn't see the stars on the comments and answers. If you don't mind, could you please choose the 'Correct' option once again, if you really wanted to select "correct."

• How to get the ID of the task running via Vsphere Webservice

  I want to get the ID of the currently running task in vcenter server. Because sometimes we have to cancel this task a few reasons. I know that I can use get task PowerCLI for this.

  Can I get the use of Webservice running task ID? Or any other method, we need to integrate with other systems.

  Yes you can.  Have you tried code?  Programming language you are using?  You can create a TaskFilterSpec and then query tasks using TaskHistoryCollector.latestpage to query tasks if you do not know the MOREF of the task you are looking for.  Here is a reference:

• vCloud, vsphere task search inventory in progress for 2 hours 30 minutes and counting

  Hello, we began a search of the inventory of a vcenter task. This task is completed once according to the before log file. The first run, took 20 minutes. Today I started the task of discovery but thought for a long time then I restarted the agent. This leads to the task of research never finish. According to ManagerService.Exe.config the configuration file inventory discovery timeout should be 2 hours. So I waited two hours, but the discovery task is still 'ongoing'. I guess I caused this problem, by acting to quickly instead of waiting. However we rebooted the system several times, tried to change the time-out period of discovery of the inventory and as far from the State Workitems.bin file in the directory tmp of the agent. Please advice how to recover from the problem. Cheers, Thomas

  Hello, after leaving the system alone for two hours, the recovered system. My analysis is: I should have not interfered with the collection of data and would have to wait. Why it takes 22 minutes to collect data, it is not not obvious but after letting the system sit there for two hours, he recovered and began collecting data. Now everything is up and running again. Cheers, Thomas

• Impossible to perform tasks of admin on vSphere 4.

  Another analyst at my company gave permission to the USERS at the center of all the data on vSphere 4. He used the UNALTERABLE group role.

  I am the administrator of any environment Vmware and I can not do nothing, not even to open the console of a virtual computer. I think I'm on the two groups (ADMINISTRATORS and USERS) but I can´t change that.

  I m using the credentials of the root on each ESX host computer to do my job.

  How can I change or remove permissions from USERS? Directly on the database (SQL Express)? How?

  Help me!

  Not sure about vCenter 4.

• How to store a DAQmx task properties effectively?

  Hello everyone and happy new year!

  I would like to be able to keep track of all the DAQmx task settings (and canals) in a file, regardless of the content of the DAQmx task / channel is. So far, the only way I've found is to use a task DAQmx / channel property nodes and treat every property possible. However, since they are so many properties, each being is not valid for any material or task / channel type, it's a really big job and I'm rather lazy

  So I ask here if someone has already dealt with THIS or have any idea?

  Hi Hillman,

  Thank you very much for the link. Related documents Silly me had neglected tdm... Your link is indeed very useful, as I do right now exactly the same way it's done the:

  • DAQmxTaskInfoQuery.vi
  • General info.VI DAQmx TEDS

  As part of the download in the link you gave.

  Exepted this code is much more readable than mine, so I guess I don't need to view my ugly code incomplete. Many things interresting, thank you very much. I'll be back if I have something better to give as a reference.

• The task in question from the user list

  In my planning application, I can't get the report function of the task list to show me the State of each task of the user list, when I set up this user to a Shared Services group. The problem is that supply us groups to the access list of task and not users directly. But what causes the report of task list not working on the display of the list of users and their status on the execution of the tasks. Anyone know how to get these reports to view the status of the user without having to assign users directly to the task list? We don't want to not use workflow, but rather just a way to show users report on their status of the to-do list.

  Firstly what Hyperion version are you on?

  Then when the user logs on their task list homepage provides a dashboard where they are on their (complete vs incomplete) task.

  Finally, through Smart View(planning connection) you can create/generate a report for any task list and this report can be grouped by user or task and displayed in Excel or PDF.

• Unable to connect target - vSphere replication Sites

  I hope someone here can help me understand a problem connecting between my two servers of VRM.

  Background:

  After passage of 6.0U2 5.5, I had problems with re-login Site Recovery Manager. Because SRM was not really in use yet (testing), I decided to redeploy fresh from the base, including replication of vSphere components.

  After removing all the rehearsals and not record old vSphere replication devices, I transferred the latest packages of EGGS to the VRM.  Everything was fine.  I have updated certificates for certificates customized our company certification and placed the root certificate in the file /opt/vmware/hms/security/hms-truststore.jks .  Then, I recorded each VRM with their respective vCenters and had no problems.

  

  Both VRM active lounge and OK in vSphere replication of the Web Client:

  

  When you attempt to connect to the target Site, the following error is received:

  

  But then in the list of tasks, it ends with success and shows the connection, but with a connection problem error:

  

  This is the architecture of our PSC and vCenters and each VRM.  All use of our certification of Enterprise SSL certificates:

  

  There is no firewall between one of these servers.

  HMS logs are attached here as well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  After that I originally posted this, a new version of vSphere replication was released.  After the upgrade to the latest version, my problem magically disappeared.

• Monitoring the progress of the task in the pipeline

  Hello

  I was wondering if there is a way to track progress (% completed) of each task in the pipeline for a bunch of objects and run the simultaneous command in the pipeline. Don't think not write-progress can be used for this purpose.

  
  

  I have a script that migrate in series to a virtual machines list nightly in a data store different (storage vMotion). Each virtual machine is pretty huge (size provisioned about 1 TB) and takes about 3 hours to migrate each. What I want for each virtual machine in the pipeline that is being migrated, is to follow how migration is complete (for each virtual machine, not for virtual machines in the table in sound together) if I can send it to a notification by email of the progress for each computer virtual every hours that elapsed.

  
  

  1. place each vm in the table to foreach and run move-vm in agreement with a bunch of other commands (in pseudo-code below)

  2. when the instance of stopwatch hits 1 hour (which means that storage vmotion for VM in the pipeline happened for one hour), call a function of e-mail notification passing the percent complete of VM current migrating

  $vmarray | foreach {#need all orders here to execute simultaneously}

  Move-vm $_ - datastore (get-targetdatastore)

  $ElapsedTime = [stopwatch]: StartNew()

  $percentcompleted = get-courses (imaginary function) #this's what I what I need help

  $triggerdue = $elapsedtime.minutes - eq 60

  While ($true) {}

  If ($triggerdue) {$elapsedtime.reset; send-notifmail}

  $percentcompleted}

  }

  }

  
  

  In looking at [runspacefactory]: CreateRunspacePool to run these commands in the competition, but is a ' native PS / more powershell-ish ' to do this?

  Thank you very much.

  There are a couple of other possibilities.

  You can use Start-Job and parallel tasks in the workflow.

  You could launch the Move-VM with the RunAsync switch, which will not wait the way script wait for the svMotion.

  But you will probably hit some limitations of vSphere on the maximum number of authorized svMotions.

  Simply by looking at the status of the powershell jobs (regardless of the method chosen to use), is not very conclusive (because of the maximum vSphere).

  You can query tasks in vSphere, and question the percentage of completion from there (if available).

  This object even the task should also tell you the status (running, ro pending)
