• Just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

  Hello, this is Matthew, just a quick question about the appearance of the cluster

  Is there anyway to rearrange the order of the elements? I know cutting automatic resizing, I could move the items by hand. But if I use the cluster somewhere else, I have to move the items again...

  What I want is of the order of "Mx My Mz Ax Ay Az Temp voltage CS".

  Is there a quicker way to deal with?

  THz so much!

  You can right-click the border of the cluster and choose "arrange control cluster...". "The user interface is not as intuitive as it could be, but it will allow you to reorder items. If you use the cluster in several places, you should make the cluster in a type definition and replace all current uses of the latter with the type definition, so that they all match. They will also update automatically when you make changes to the type definition. Otherwise, you could have a situation where you have multiple groups with the same data types, but with elements in a different order, and your data will be getting a new denominated, when wire you the whole clusters. The data will be in the same order, but given that the item labels are in a different order, you can't get the data you want, when ungroup you by name.

• Questions about the implementation of clusters of storage and DTS on active cluster

  I have a few questions about the implementation of clusters of data store and SRS storage in VSphere 5.1.

  We have a data center with about 15 HP blades and a few servers non-lame.  The hosts are all either VSphere 5.0 or 5.1.  Our back-end storage is an EMC VNX 5700 with about 20 stores of data.  All the VMWare is managed by VCenter 5.1 running on a dedicated physical machine.

  Currently, each data store is used individually; No piles of data store are put in place.  When a new virtual machine is created, the administrator usually chooses the data with the most space store.  Periodically, we will go back and manually storage vMotion machines to balance the load.

  Recently, we have expanded the VNX storage, so we now have LUNS in different pools, with different levels of performance.

  What I would do is set up for the data store clusters, so that us when a virtual machine is created, the administrator must not know what data store is in which pool.  Also take advantage of the DRS storage so that the burden of storage will be "refine" himself a little.

  I know the setting up of a cluster of storage in a 'clean' environment is quite simple, but my concern is creation/conversion data warehouses existing in active production in the cluster, while they are used.

  If I access the screen "data warehouses and store data from clusters ', right-click on the data center and create a cluster, and then move the various data stores in the new cluster, will there be an interruption in the production running systems?

  I also wonder about activation of storage i/o control.  It is not currently enabled on data warehouses.  I know it's useful for the StorageDRS, but will be allowing any negative impact on the system?  If I turn on the warehouses of data, is there anything else I should do or set in addition to all that allows him?

  Finally, we are in the process of Site Recovery Manager configuration.  SRS has an impact on the configuration of the data clusters and DTS store?

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  Hello

  Clusters of data and using DTS store doesn't impact RS even if you create a cluster of data store for storage of replicated data and another for everyone else, this way you machines virtual you want to replicate are not moved on warehouses of data that are not replicated , but will still have the ability to move if there is a conflict.

  Gregg

  With all due respect but SRM and DTS don't go together. SRM does not at all support the use of DTS. So if you are configuring SRM forget DTS for now.

  Reason for this is that SRM knows no DTS and VMs can be in flight when a failover should occur, and bad things can happen. Also, the protection breaks when a virtual computer is moved between data warehouses in a cluster data store.

  In short: don't go there.

• Question about the creation of cluster data store

  I'm running vSphere 5.1 and want to enable storage Drs before as I have create the cluster data store, I was reading through VMware vSphere 5.1, but don't see any confirmation when I add data to the cluster storage, the virtual machines using these storage of data is not affected.

  Can anyone confirm that the addition of a data to a data cluster store store has no impact on virtual machines running?

  Thank you.

  Can anyone confirm that the addition of a data to a data cluster store store has no impact on virtual machines running?

  You can add and remove data warehouses in a cluster of data with VMS running store.

• How to set the cluster error in postexpression?

  Hello

  I created a c language #-driver that returns a 0 for the pass or - 1 for failure in the functions 'int MyFunction().

  Now I use this function for teststeps.

  Question is: How can I use this returnvalue to set the cluster error?

  So that one - 1 causes an error.

  I think it can be done somehow in the post expression.

  How can I put a

  If (returnvalue == - 1).

  {

  Result.Error.Code = 10100

  Result.Error.Msg = "an error has occurred."

  Result.Error.Occured = True

  }

  Thanks for help

  Hi OnlyOne,

  Check out this example (stored in TS4.0)

  The tower is done using a breakets conditional and literal.

  Locals.nReturnValue is-1? {Step.Result.Error.Code = 10100, Step.Result.Error.Msg = "Error occurred", Step.Result.Error.Occurred = True}: {}

• Initialize the cluster with data types different (lots of data)

  Hello

  I have data, which are composed of different data types. First of all, I have initialize cluster with these types of data and then "print" to light (photo). In case of photo data carries 8 characters than ja 4 floats. It was easy to initialize, but here's the question: How can I do this even if I have data that look like this (interpreter):

  floating point number

  name char [32]

  Short value [16]

  What I create loooong cluster which have a fleet of 32 characters, 16 short films? Or I can create these 'paintings' in a different way?

  THX once again

  -Aa-

  I suggest using the table-cluster and configuration of the cluster size to match the size of your berries, then package these groups together.  In terms of storage of LabVIEW, there is no difference between a group of

  floating point number

  Name1 tank

  name2 tank

  ...

  short value1

  short value2

  ...

  and a bunch of

  floating point number

  -> cluster shipped from

  Name1 tank

  name2 tank

  ...

  -> cluster shipped from

  short value1

  short value2

  So you can use the cluster table to get the right sizes rather than individually create all these values in a single giant cluster.

• cannot place the cluster in table

  I hope that this is a stupid question after a long day of programming.

  I can't insert this cluster in this table.  I did it for years, but for some reason any that it does not work now.

  Please notify

  Cool, that's all!

  I was able to add my decorations, after you add the cluster without decoration, in the table.

  I have attached my now (what I think) is my cool looking for control.

• AutoDeploy question with the new deployrule

  Hello

  I wan´t to create a new configuration of autodeploy in my test environment. To do this, I use the latest version of vsphere 6 and last power cli version 6.3 release1.

  Following orders which help to create a rule to deploy this automatic add a host to the cluster named "cluster."

  First, add the filing of software

  Add esxsoftwaredepot 'path to the zip file.

  new-esximageprofile - cloneprofile ESXi - 6.0.0 - 20160302001 - standard - name Nested

  This is where the question pops up.

  New-deployrule-name 'test' - point 'Nested', cluster - model "ipv4 = 192.168.1.50"»

  I get the following error message

  

  If I did the same thing with powercli version 6.0 Release 3, the problem does not occur. There is a problem with the 'cluster' point in the command.

  Anyone who would confirm?

  Frank

  Hi Jim,.

  When we create a New DeployRule, we provide objects that contain the values for the switch "Item" (or directly the name of the element, literally).

  This means that below PowerCLI command must work.

  example: new-DeployRule-name - point $img, $hp, $cluster - AllHosts

  In the example above,.

  1) $img is the variable that contains the value of the profile Image. We can create this variable by-' "$img = Get-EsxImageProfile-name ".

  2) $hp is the variable which keeps the value of the host profile. We can create this variable by-' "$hp = Get-VMHostProfile-name ".

  3) $cluster is the variable that has a value of Cluster folder or data center. We can create this variable by-' "$cluster = Get-Cluster-name ".

  It works well with PowerCLI 6.3 Release 1 as well.

• Question for the host resource

  Hello

  We have 1 blade that hosts a physical SQL Server on it. The resources of this blade are 10 total to 20 cores processors and 512 GB of RAM on it. We want to virtualize it soon, but we don't have any other guests that we could use this size. We have a few available hosts that are 8 to 16 cores CPU and 256 GB of RAM. I was hoping that I could create a cluster with 2 of these hosts and virtualize the largest physical machine in the cluster. I know that when I virtualize this machine, he will live on one of the hosts at any given time. My question is if these hosts would be 'pool' their resources so that this machine could use more than a single host would offer it. Is it possible at all or not? If not is there another work around for this problem I have?

  We are on vSphere 5.5

  Thank you

  My question is if these hosts would be 'pool' their resources so that this machine could use more than a single host would offer it. Is it possible at all or not? If not is there another work around for this problem I have?

  No, the maximum resource that can use a particular virtual machine will be limited by the maximum available on a single host computer running this VM particular resource. Workaround is to add more physical resources on the host or create the virtual computer with limited resources. Are you sure that your virtual machine uses really 20 the processor cores and 512 GB of RAM? Most of the workload running on the physical server uses all resources.

• Mapping of LUNS ESX - id scsi is not consistent across the cluster - problem or not?

  Hello

  as a parenthesis in an associated storage workshop, the instructor said that on some site of the client, there was silence damaged metadata vmfs happening and the reason for it was locking issues that concerned the fact that the SAN LUNS Hat different scsi id on different Cluster nodes.

  I asked for references for this, but I got information on the verification of metadata etc.

  now, the reason why I'm asking here is, I found that some in our environment vmfs data warehouses do not have compatible scsi-id numbering on the Cluster. I thought it was just mostly a cosmetic problem...

  Two questions:

  1 are warehouses of VMFS data really at risk with this? Any reference to a KB or some experience on site? We have never had a problem with the warehouses of data so far.

  2. about the setting of this (we do it anyway), which is the recommended best practices to do?  Shouldn't a data store with a different ID Scsi remapping result in the data store that is detected as a snapshot?  Think we need to do some additional precautionary measures to avoid what is happening

  Thank you!

  Take a look at this article for possible problems: VMware KB: can not see some or all VMware vCenter Server or VirtualCenter storage devices

  A requirement is to have uniform or a coherent presentation of the LUNS across managed VMware ESX servers. More specifically, must match the LUN ID for each respective LUN between all of the VMware ESX servers.

• VCA serious question in a cluster after adding servers active DRS blades M630 Dell

  Hi guys,.

  I hope that you will be able to help me with this strange question that I feel right now.

  A couple of details first on our environment:

  • vCenter 5.0 U3
  • ESXi 5.0.0 - 2509828
  • 6 guests active DRS cluster
  • 4 hosts are Dell M620, E5-26XX v2 processor blades
  • 2 hosts are blades M630 Dell with processors of E5-26XX v2
  • VCA mode is currently set at "Westmere".
  • All ESXi hosts are fully patched using AUVS

  Before adding the new M630 blades to the cluster it any of the issues with the DRS or VCA, outside the constraints of resources, and the 4 blades M620 we are able to correctly migrate the virtual machines back.

  I could add the M630 blades to the cluster without problem and without errors or warnings have been issued. A week or so later, I noticed more deviations of DRS desired on the cluster. More inspection I noticed that quite a large number of virtual machines showed N/A beside VCA mode and I was not able to migrate them to any host on the cluster.

  Thinking it could be a bug of sorts, I turned off all the virtual machines in the cluster and run a script that resets the CPUID at default. In addition, as a measure of precaution, I restarted the vCenter server and ensures that the database has been effective. The hosts are synchronized time with an NTP source and fits perfectly on both hosts.

  After feeding all the VMS, I rebooted the M630 servers and inspected the BIOS settings to ensure that virtualization and NX/XD is enabled. With all virtual machines powered off, I was able to change the levels of the VCA to any available without warnings setting.

  When everything has been turned back on I noticed a strange behavior in the cluster.

  Virtual machines that are running on M620 blades show the right level of CVS and I am able to migrate them to all servers in the cluster. Once that they migrate to the blades M630, VCA state change s/o and I am unable to migrate anywhere, not even the other M630 blade in the cluster.

  The error that I am shown during the verification step is:

  The operation is not allowed in the current state of the connection to the host. Host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to cpuid level 0 x 1 host bit ' ecx' register: 0000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011 required: x 110: x01x:11 x 1: 1xx0:xx11:xx1x:xxxx:xx11 inconsistency detected for these characteristics: * General incompatibilities; see section 1993 of possible solutions.

  Dig deeper in my investigation, I came across this KB: 1034926[1]

  I checked the M620 user guides and the M630 and parameters mentioned in the KB should be enabled by default. Unfortunately, I have no way to check the BIOS settings because I can not all M630 blades enter into maintenance mode without turning off the virtual machines running on them and another maintenance window one day after previous, we're going to be deprecated. In addition, the error is not the same as that of the KB and my goal is to collect as much information before entering another window of maintenance requiring downtime.

  I hope that you will be able to provide any new perspectives or opening my eyes to things that I may have missed.

  Thanks in advance.

  The processor in this system is a v3 E5-2660, not an E5-26xx v2.  ESXi 5.0 doesn't know how to use the features of this processor FlexMigration.  I think that the first version of ESXi to support this processor is ESXi 5.1U2.

  Unfortunately, I do not see a workaround for ESXi 5.0 solution.

• VM list name and the cluster that it flows in a CSV file

  Hello

  I want to have a created CSV file that will conaitn 2 fields: vm_name, vm_custer

  Which means, I want to list the name of the virtual machine and the cluster is running in a CSV file.

  Here is the code I wrote:

  #! / usr/bin/perl - w
  use strict;
  Use Data::Dumper;
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  My % opts = (data center = > {})
  Type = > "s =",
  help = > 'enter the name of the data center. "
  required = > 1,
  });
  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
  OPTS::parse();
  OPTS::Validate();
  Util::connect;
  "open (my $FH, ' > ', 'final.csv') or die" cannot opne final.csv: $! » ;
  print $FH 'VM_Cluster, VM_Name, \n ";
  my $dc = Opts::get_option ("data center");
  My $dc_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'Data center',)
  filter = > {name = > $dc});
  My $clu_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > "ComputeResource")
  begin_entity = > $dc_view);
  my $cluster foreach (@$clu_views)
  {
  My $clu_name = $cluster-> name;
  my $hosts = $cluster-> host;
  foreach (@$hosts)
  {
  My $host_hash_ref = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_);
  My $vm_view = $host_hash_ref-> virtual machine;
  foreach (@$vm_view)
  {
  My $vm_hash_ref = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_);
  My $vm_name = $vm_hash_ref-> name;
  $FH print $clu_name. ", ".  $vm_name. », «. "\n" unless $clu_name = ~ m/0bld0 /; "
  }
  }
  }
  Close ($FH);
  Util::disconnect;

  Now, I get the CSV file created as I wanted to, but the question is, there are 3500 + VMs in vCenter and this script side took 50 minutes to complete. It is therefore a huge performance impact. Also, I don't like the concept of 3 layers netsted foreach loops.

  Therefore, there is an effective way to get this information?

  Thank you.

  Your welcome.  It could be made faster, but the complexity of the additional code is probably not worth if the runtime you have now is enough.  No doubt, you can add additional data to your report without too slow.

  You can also find the script works faster or slower depending on what is happening in your virtual center system.

  Thanks for the update on the success!

• Create the cluster with existing Virtual Machines

  This will seem like an easy question, but I have 3 5.0 ESXi hosts managed by vCenter. We recently purchased a SAN and I would like to set up a cluster, can I do it with running on the existing VMS host computers and then to migrate in the SAN that I have create the cluster?

  If the hosts and the BIOS settings are the same there should not be a problem with placing them in a cluster. Displacement of that virtual machine to the San can be made as soon as the hosts are connected to him, it is not the members of classes.

• Recovery of the cluster VSA problems

  Hello

  A power outage left our vcenter server machine somehow a mess (or at least the DB used by vcenter is)

  So, given my complete lack of knowledge DBA and try to get things back running, I went to control panel and uninstalled) 1 vcenter, 2) unit of vsa, 3) the vcenter client and 4) sqserverl-express from Microsoft of the machine software. I assumed that to uninstall this way, any possible trace of the installation must be deleted or substituted at least when reinstalling. (can someone please confirm/deny this hypothesis, thanks!)

  I continued to reinstall all the software and then tried the recovery procedure 'retrieve an existing Cluster of VSA", as described in the documentation centre 5 vsphere.

  At first glance, this seems to work.

  But now it seems that the recovery has not reproduced the "VSA HA Cluster" self, but simple imported all VM directly under the recreated VSA Datacenter. If I look at the 0 VSA, VSA-1 and VSA-2 VMs now, then the vSphere HA protection seems State "n/a".

  Also two other virtual machines that I had installed under the cluster work but aren't protected HA anymore.

  Trying to create a new cluster fails because my ESX 3 hosts are already known to the system under the data center...

  I did something wrong during the recovery and is it possible to repair the damage, or am I better take a return of my 2 virtual machines (using standalone converter tool?) and simply reinstall my 3 servers ESX and vcenter again, as I described at the beginning of this message?

  Thanks for any help on this.

  Hi David,

  At this point, the best thing to do is probably to create the HA Cluster yourself. The steps are not too complex:

  1. right-click on the domain controller where the hosts/vms resident => New Cluster...

  2. Enter the name

  3. check 'Turn on vSphere HA' (you could also turn on vSphere DRS if you have the useful, likely license)

  4 @ VM Options:

  -Activate the tracking host

  -Enable admission control

  -Set the control strategy for admission to 33 percent of the cluster resounces reserved as space failover capability (50% if you have a 2 cluster nodes)

  -Click next and the VM Restart priority average value and response of isolation to "shut down the computer.

  5 @ VM followed, define "VM Monitoring" to "Followed only VM" and "control of sensitivity to the average value.

  6 @ VMware EVC window, I would say that allows EVC (but this is not necessary). This will ensure that all hosts in your cluster are able to Vmotion. Please, make the selections of approirate (v.s. intel amd and so on) and then proceed.

  7 @ location of VM swap file, please select 'store the swap file in the same directory as the virtual machine (recommended).

  8 @ ready to fill, review your selections and click "Finish".

  9. with the created Cluster HA, just drag and drop your ESXi in the cluster hosts.

  10. go back into the settings of Cluster HA. Right-click on the cluster-online 'change settings '.

  -Under vSphere HA-online virtual Machien Options, please disable VM priority Restart for all virtual machines of VSA

  That's all. You should be all set.

  FYI: @ step 9, if you can't drag and drop your ESXi host, and he complains about your CVS settings, you can go into the HA Cluster settings and change the CVS options as your hosts will be allowed in the cluster.

  I hope that this solves the problem for you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
