Question of curiosity - why doesn't support Lab Manager 4 Nexus

I suspect it has to do with the 'helper' VMs deployed to help manage the host spanning networks, but I didn't know why it wouldn't work with the Nexus.  Thanks in advance.

I think that it is because with the Nexus, virtual network configuration is managed side Nexus instead of by the bias of the vSphere API.  Lab Manager actually requires a more direct control of the network in the vSphere API configuration and interface of the ESX host.

  • Relationship of Lab Manager and vSphere

    My shop starts to think about his Lab Manager architecture design, and we have some questions about the relationship between vSphere and Lab Manager.

    (1) can Lab Manager leverage of resources defined outside its host vSphere environment?

    (2) must LM be hosted in a specific vSphere environment to effectively exploit the scene-to-production in this environment vSphere features?  In other words, what is the impact to the staging functionality when you move a virtual machine from a workspace of LM to a VSphere environment that does not host the environment of LM?

    The reason we ask is because we already have production environment vSphere, and we plan to install vCenter Lab Manager within this environment or install LM in a separate vSphere environment.

    Thank you.

    (1) the laboratory director can leverage resources defined outside its host vSphere environment?

    All used 'resources' must be inside a vCenter server, and all objects must be contained within a single "Data center" object in the hierarchy.

    > LM (2) done must be hosted in a specific vSphere environment to effectively exploit the scene-to-production in this environment vSphere features? In other words, what is the impact to the staging functionality when you move a virtual machine from a workspace of LM to a VSphere environment that does not host the environment of LM?

    If the vCenter for production is not the same as Lab Manager, you must export the Configuration of LM in an SMB share (requires a classic ESX host in the middle of LM), and then import it to the appropriate location.

    I did not notice problems with Lab Manager VMs-by-side with use of regular production.  Just separate the ESX hosts in a dedicated Cluster or a Pool of resources.

  • Lab Manager 3 and vCenter Server 4?

    Lab Manager 3.0.2 will work if I upgrade Virtual Center to version 4?  (I realize ESX 4 is not supported, was impossible to find out what anyone simply upgrading to vCenter Server.)

    Right now I have 2 groups managed by a server vCenter Server, a 'production' and another for Lab Manager.  If I upgrade my production cluster to vSphere, can I maintain a separate vCenter server with the old version to support Lab Manager?

    http://www.VMware.com/support/labmanager30/doc/releasenotes_labmanager302.html

    Lab Manager requires VMware Infrastructure 3 Standard or Premium

    (VMware ESX 3.5 Update 1, update 2, update 3 or update 4 and)

    vCenter Update 2.5 1, 2 update, update 3 or update 4).

  • Question about Lab Manager and ESX Resource Pools

    Hello world

    I was wondering if I can get feedback from some of the members of the community.  We used Lab Manager very strongly in our support organizations and it has proved to be a valuable tool.  Recently, we collaborated with the Department of technical training and started hosting online seminars and classes for them using Lab Manager.  Last week we had a fairly large class of users (approx. 45), each duty deploy 2 rather Beefy VMs that were very intensive resources (Jboss, SQL, Mail to name a few).  My colleague and I went through a lot of trials and planning to ensure that our infrastructure can handle the load while allowing our users to date at the same speed and reliability, so that they are used.

    Our Lab Manager ESX server pools made up of the following:

    5 HP DL380 G5 servers with 2 x Quad Core 2.8 GHZ processors (8 cores each) with 32 GB of RAM each

    2 HP DL580 G5 servers with 4 x Quad Core 2.8 GHZ processors (16 cores each) with 128 GB of RAM each

    When the class is running and everyone has made their 2 machines, we noticed for some reason, he was all on ESX2 and 3 deployment (380 s).  Then came the ESX alarms, use of 90% of memory, then more than 100% bringing the disk page.  The CPU usage was at a all time high.

    I look at the 2 580 s and there are about 4 virtual machines deployed on them.

    So my question is...

    How does he know where to launch a Virtual Lab Manager machine?  There's no sense 2 servers have been brought to the red zone, and almost overloaded when the 2 most powerful servers in my farm are nearly dormant.  I noticed sometimes in the past, but not this bad.  Normally, we have about 45-50 computers deployed at some point and it seems to spread them out properly.

    This group of training has access to the same LUN and ESX server with Betclick as any other organization that we have.

    We have decided hosting several sessions of training may be greater than this one and would like to know that the virtual machines will be distributed properly.

    I would like to know your opinion on this

    First to answer your question, then make guess what happens.

    As indicated in response Ilya, LM distributed VMs differently with active DRS resource pools and pools of resources without active DRS.

    LM place VMs when the DRS is not used.

    When DRS is used, we use the DRS admission control to select the host to place virtual machines.

    DRS is turned off, LM uses its own placement routine:

    For each virtual machine, LM filter all managed servers that cannot run the virtual machine. A complete list of patterns are:

    • The managed server has not enough memory or quota for virtual machine to run the virtual machine.

    • The host is not connected to the data store that is the virtual machine.

    • The virtual machine has active state (suspended) and the CPU of the server managed by the waking state has been captured is not compatible with the managed server currently considered.

    • The virtual machine has been a guest on 64-bit and the managed server is not 64-bit capable.

    • The virtual machine has more processors than the managed server.

    • The managed server is not accessible or is set to "prohibit deployments." Not reachable may mean that the lm-agent or its not to ping queries is not answer (this is visible in the list of managed server page).

    Once we have the complete list of eligible servers, we place the virtual machines on the host including the smallest (MemoryReservation % + CPUReservation %). By default, we reserve not CPU on LM VMs, this internship will be largely due to the memory on the host computers if you have not changed the settings of reservation of CPU on your virtual machines.

    For closed deploy to the PF3, force us all virtual machines to go on the same host, so if any virtual machines have any special data store / CPU type specification, all virtual machines is forced to go on this host. If there are conflicting requirements between different virtual machines in the same configuration, deployment will fail. Closed VMs also have another condition to check that is rarely achieved in practice: number of closed networks available on the managed server. By default, this is 20 and you will need more than 20 different configurations closed running on a managed server before you who will strike.  (LM4 allows Cross fencing host, so this does not apply in LM4).

    To make a guess blind because of your distribution problem - if you use the saved state and fencing, it's probably the type of processor.  Processor type can be checked on the host properties page.

    If you not are not I would check that the images can deploy on the 580 s by disabling the 380s and trying to deploy them.

    If you use DRS (which you're not), it could be due to deployment of virtual machines too fast for the algorithm of control for the entrance of VC.  An easy solution for this is to extinguish the DRS on the cluster manager of laboratory.

    We tested load internal repeatedly, the product QA in different laboratories, we run (LM has been used in VMworld Labs for the past couple years and internal systems of training and demonstration for our Organization implemented SE), so no need to worry about this.  I assure you that the first 'real' performance problem you will encounter will be almost certainly due to an overload of your storage array (too many IOPS / s)... and for that you have to distribute content in data warehouses and use techniques of creating paths to balance the load.

    Kind regards

  • Why doesn't my computer slow and down so often?

    Hello

    Why doesn't my computer slow and down so often?  I have quite a few red errors and yellow when I look where the Viewer, how can I get rid of them?  And also I have Norton installed on my PC Utillities, can this program to get rid of these errors?

    Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on more than 48 hours ago.

    You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

    A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.
