• need to get the time host was put in the annotation and maintenance mode

  Hi - it is possible to get the time that a host has been in maintenance mode and also seize any annotation is attached to the ESX host in VC?

  Thank you

  ~ Sai

  Also, by using "get-vmhost" twice is redundant since you have channeled from get-vmhost: "E = { get-vmhost $_ |}". Get-vievent ".

  However, your order will be to return the entire event object and look like:

  Name                                    Event

  ----                                    -----

  host {VMware.Vim.EnteredMaintenanceModeEv...

  You can try below instead:

  Get-VMHost |? {$_. ConnectionState-match 'Maintenance'} | Select Name, @{N = 'Time put in MaintMode'; E={($_ | Get-VIEvent |? {$_. FullFormattedMessage-like"* entered maintenance mode *"} (). " Createduserid}}

  But it can still recover multiple events, so a way to get only the last event and time is below:

  Get-VMHost |? {$_. ConnectionState-match 'Maintenance'} | Select Name, @{N = 'Time put in MaintMode'; E={($_ | Get-VIEvent |? {$_. {"FullFormattedMessage-like" * entered maintenance mode * "} | toplayer-last 1). Createduserid}}

• The virtual machine migration and maintenance mode

  Hello

  When I go into maintenance mode, DRS intervenes and begins to migrate my virtual machines.

  He made only 2 virtual machines at once.

  This number can be increased?

  Thanks in advance,

• I tried processor affinity and compatibility mode. Always impossible to install episode I Pod Racer... Help me? :)

  I have Windows 7 Premium Home Edition.

  I try to install Star Wars Episode I Racer. I think that it was designed for use on Windows 95/98.

  When I try to install it gives me an error and says I can install it by using the Setup program. EXE, directly from the CD. However, when I try, I get another error saying "the program or function '------?" \D:Install\Setup.exe"cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit Windows versions. "Then he told me to check with the vendor to see if a 64-bit version is available (but it certainly won't)

  If someone knows how to solve this problem, I'd be more graceful. Thank you!

• Maintenance and phasing mode

  Dear all,

  I would like to create a script to stop the host (and guests) when a power failure occure. I found a nice script on the web, and I see that he put the host in maintenance immediately mode, and subsequently, he begins to stop guests. I do not understand its purpose.

  I found in the documentation: "the host is in a State of entering Maintenance Mode until all running virtual machines are turned off or migrated to different hosts. You can power on virtual machines or migrate virtual machines to a host of passage in maintenance mode. »

  If the host will not be maintained until guests stops. I thought that maybe in this State there is no network communication between the clients and the clients, then maybe its purpose is to keep the guest in a more consistent state, but I don't know.

  So my question is what is the real reason to be maintenance host mode prior to the guests?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  One advantage is that no new VMs will be migrated to this host by the DRS.

  If otherwise you stop VMs, that host suddenly will have tons of free to use resources, DRS could therefore kick in and migrate new virtual machines on that host.

  On the otherside, putting the host in maintenance mode can even save you having to close all virtual machines if your infrastructure is designed so that it:

  If you have a cluster stretched, or different power for lack of domains in a domain controller, you may experience a loss of power on we'll say half of your ESXi hosts in a cluster. If your second half of the cluster has a power source and is not affected, put the soon-to-fail hosts in maintenance mode and let the DRS to evacuate VMS, is the fastest way to move your virtual machines with other hosts.

• Understand the Maintenance of Esxi and Standyby mode

  Dear all,

  I would like to understand about maintenance mode, for example, I have two hosts in a cluster and I need to update the firmware on A host. Now, before I do that I want to migrate the virtual machine to host B, then now host A is free. Now I can immediately turn off host A and start the procedure of firmware upgrade OR first of all I have to say for this host go into maintenance mode and then turn off?

  Secondly, I would like to have a clear understanding of the standby mode? Can I put a host in standby for the firmware update or other maintenance activities?

  Thank you

  Yes, exactly.

  When you click on enter the Maintenance Mode, the host is in maintenance mode right now, but just start this task. The host will enter maintenance mode once all virtual machines are moved.

• Maintenance mode enough to stop SAN and networking?

  Community of VMWare,

  We will present some maintenance on your LAN and SAN network that connects our system of blade HP C-7000 with about 14 5.0 ESXi hosts and 3 HP Lefthand P4000 Series clusters (6 knots), 3 groups of VM. Thus, the chassis of C-7000 whole as well as the SAN will lose network connectivity. We do not have a second VM or SAN environment to migrate customers to.

  Our plan is to:

  1. stop all the VM to its customers.

  2. place all hosts in maintenance mode.

  3 temporarily disable HA and DRS to prevent vMotion when the host is brought back to the top of the maintenance mode.

  4 judgment of the SAN.

  5 stop/Perform maintenance on the network LAN/SAN switches.

  6. turn on the network switches.

  7 turn on the SAN.

  8 disable the maintenance for the VM guest mode.

  9. turn computer virtual guests.

  10. turn on HA and DRS.

  This sounds like a good plan? Do you see anything wrong with it? I'm curious to know if maintenance on hosts mode will be sufficient to avoid problems and whether the SAN data store and the road reconnects. I'm afraid that if I completely stop the hosts, it will create problems of network such as vmNIC etc renumbering.

  Your help and your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

  Yes, when we realize tests of UPS, we take the whole environment down, let the UPS stops completely and all...

  In addition, I also stop the hosts interview on the chassis as well...

  Have not had any problems... Touch wood

  If you do not change anything fundamental about the chassis or guests, you should be ok... And when hosts are down (if) then it won't matter if the uplinks disappeared... If you leave them in maintenance you will obviously see some, if not many, alarms

• Discovers the problem of transfer Server - Service does not properly and maintenance in the waiting mode

  Hello. I have try to add view transfer Server Infrastructure and get the problems of follow-up:

  1. after that I have add forwarding server to "transfer servers" in the view manager, he is "on hold" and "missing transfer Server Repository. But on the record transfer servers 'System health' dashboard of my server in red and error is "the service does not work properly.

  2. If I try to put the server in maintenance mode, status is changed to "pending maintenance mode" and nothing happens at all. Server to remain in this State forever.

  I tried with two servers, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 2003 Server R2. Both the same problem. I can't get another clue what is the problem.

  NIC is E1000, static IP and 'LSI Logic parallel' as a SCSI controller

  What can I do?

  Thanks for all replies.

  Change the role of the administrator of your view (or whatever the account that is used to manage the server transfer has role) on vCenter and put a tick in the box for Global-manage custom attributes.

  This fixed our environment, the index was in this error message on the display connection server.

  The error messages in the view ' 21: 51:50, ERROR 734 [ServiceConnection25] error when adding custom fields: [transfer Server Status, lock VM status] for type MB: VirtualMachine com.vmware.vdi.vcsupport25.ServiceConnection25. » addCustomFieldNames(SourceFile:1591)

• LM 4.0, Service VM and ESX Maintenance Mode

  I'm trying to put one of my hosts LM 4.0 in maintenance mode, it hangs there because of the virtual of Service machine.  Y at - there a trick to getting the crowd to enter maintenance mode without trying to stop the virtual machine in the console?

  This is the correct behavior even though I agree that it's awkward. You can disable the host extending on that host and the VM service will get cancelled. Then, re-enable host extending on when you are finished with the maintenance mode.

  To disable the host covering, access resources, hosts, then go to the properties of host page and uncheck the "Enable host host Spanning.

• While putting the host in maintenance mode, I'm stuck at 2%

  While putting the host in maintenance mode, I'm stuck at 2%

  With the message at 2% it get stuck below.

  "Waiting for machines virtual to be powered off or migrated. In a DRS cluster, see the page of defects on the tab of the DRS for troubleshooting. "

  When you put a host in Maintenance Mode, the virtual machine will be generally migrated to other hosts automatically by the Drs there are reasons why it would not work.

  Some of them are:

  • You do not have DRS licensed (only included in Enterprise and Enterprise Plus)
  • DRS is set to manual
  • You have the DRS, but the virtual machine connected local resources (such as the CD-ROM player,...)
  • You have the DRS, but there are no hosts available because of rules configured to affinity/Anti-Affinity
  • Not available on other host resources

  In both cases, you will have to solve the issue and migrate virtual machines to other hosts or stop the virtual machines. As soon as he has no more power on virtual machines on the host, it will enter into Maintenance Mode.

• How to set the processor affinity and memory.

  We have explicit recommendations of our application provider to set the processor affinity for one of our virtual machines running their product. However, this process is not quite clear to me despite the available docs. We are company ESXi 5.1 more.

  By looking at the tab "resources" for the parameters of the virtual computer you see under CPU:

  Actions (I would do that quite high so that it never goes to confront other good?)

  Booking

  Limit

  The requirement is to set aside x cores for the virtual machine while it is never claim to waiting or resource. They would also potentially implement affinity memory related to the same socket for the effectiveness of the NUMA node.

  We have a host with 2 8-core processors with 256 GB of memory. I'm not worried about the affinity of memory. This should be as simple as the control that the 'reserve any memory comments' correct?

  Is it simpler just set up a pool of resources for cela CPU and memory? The only concern I have is it if the processor uses the same memory channels. We do not want a CPU into a socket using the channel memory of another plug for this virtual machine.

  And it's too late to go back to physics for this system.

  Eeghads! Just FYI, the processor affinity is almost never what a seller really wants, even if they think they do. I can imagine there are valid use cases, but I spoke with several vendors who recommend this, and they were all wrong.

  From what I understand in your summary, the application is sensitive to the latency of the CPU. If the physical compute capacity, actions and reservations will address the latency. Latency is the only reason why they want to set the affinity, or are there others? If there is other, know what they are, because there is a good chance to those who are also invalid reasons. The processor affinity tends to exacerbate the problems you're having with loans time CPU and can often cause latency application MORE CPU than that without it. Yes, you can set up reserves of CPU to address these issues for this particular virtual machine, but you made life more difficult for the CPU scheduler. DRS involved in the loan time CPU, which means she won't necessarily move these other virtual machines on this host, even if they are jointly stop like crazy. While we're on the subject, this virtual machine would need to be excluded from automatic DRS migration, since you cannot vMotion with the processor affinity configured. It also means the virtual machine must be powered whenever his current host goes into maintenance mode.

  In any case, verification 'reserve any memory comments' will not affect memory locality. Will just leave all the pages of virtual memory with physical memory pages (another side effect interesting is that creates the virtual machine is no longer a pagefile on the boot). If you REALLY have to set the affinity to the CPU/memory, memory affinity can be set by changing the settings of the VM, the tab "resources", select Advanced Memory, and you can configure NUMBER here. In addition, if you had already seen it, the processor affinity is configured in the tab "resources", under Advanced CPU.

  I highly recommend you challenge the seller and ask if reservations CPU are sufficient. The planner of UC is already aware NUMA. VCPUs how they ask, anyway? Unless they want to more than 8, it is unlikely to split the virtual machine.

• During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers, I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify me...

  Original title: identity of unknown folder

  During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers (Windows xp home, sp3), I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify.  The name of the folder is cc68f6b7a7ca948eefb018f001 and the name of the update.exe file.  The properties of the file that it is a Windows Service Pack installation.  I tried Googling the name of the folder, but found nothing.

  Can you tell me with regard to this issue, and what, if anything, I have to do?

  Thank you.

  When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

  This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?

  For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

  D:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

  There may be other folders and files in this main temporary folder such as amd64 and i386 platforms.

  They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

  If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.

  You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

  Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

  There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

  Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is one good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

  If you are running XP Home Edition, the following section on turn off "Simple file sharing" does not apply to you since in XP Home, Simple file sharing is always turned on.  If you are running XP Home Edition, skip the next few paragraphs and resume where it says:

  "If no part tool above work try a third popular called Unlocker.

  If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

  Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

  With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

  General, sharing, customize

  With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

  General, security, customize

  Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

  It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

  If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.

  Unlocker can be downloaded here:

  http://www.emptyloop.com/Unlocker/

  If you use Unlocker, be sure to install because he wants to add a bunch of options, addons, shortcuts and other extras that you don't need.

  You must add the shell extension so when you right click on the offending file, you will have a Unlocker option to choose.  I would just install it long enough to clean up the leftovers and then, I usually just uninstall and all parts of it.  You can always install it again another day if you like.

  Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.

  Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.

• SX20 running in maintenance mode

  Hello everyone,

  I have a problem with my camera of telepresence SX20 (TC6).

  It runs in mode of maintenance for 2 days.

  No one has changed nothing.

  Do you know how to fix it please?

  Have you tried to do a reboot? This could be the silver bullet that works in 90% of cases.

  The maintenance mode starts if the system crashed for some reason any and without

  interaction, that he would stay like that.

  If you restart the system, and it starts again at the maintenance mode, please try to do a reset to factory default.

  Please remember useful frequency responses and identify useful or correct answers.
