• Unable to prepare the host to Vcloud Director

  Hi all

  Hope you guys can help me. I try to install the track of vcloud Director version, and I got most of this work. The problem I have now is that I cannot prepare a host. I installing the server in a cluster, I have no shared but only storage using local disks (wondering if this isn't the problem). I added my vcenter server, which is a virtual machine on a host, but I'm still unable to activate the host for its use.

  I read somewhere on the forums that it must be in maintenance mode, but it does not work. In fact if I do this, the host gets a Red Cross in the available column. On the only host I get an error saying connection refused. The other, they say just can't prepare host.

  Any help would be welcome.

  KettieKop

  You need to meet the prerequisites first, specifically to have active DRS.  For the active DRS on the Cluster of hosts in vCenter, for the DRS, you need to have more than one ESX host AND the shared storage.

  Shared storage is a requirement for vMotion (as the DRS is on your virtual machines for load balancing)

  Several hosts is necessary to allow pools of resources (you need a place to load their balance)

  Once you meet the requirements, then you should be able to view the ESX host, when you try to prepare them for vCloud Director.

• vCloud Director 5.1 prepare host has no

  We have a cluster of vSphere 4 host mixed with ESXi 4.1 and 5.1 5.1.

  3 of the 4 hosts are prepared and working in a vCloud Director 5.1 provider VDC.

  Recently, I upgraded the left of ESXi 4.1 to 5.1. After the upgrade, I tried to prepare it for the vCloud Director Provider VDC. But run into an error:

  Failure occurred during the preparation of the host XXXXX

  -java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

  -Reading has expired

  I tried following things:

  -Make sure there is no virtual machines running on the host. The host really going into Maintenance mode whenever I run the preparation.

  -Restart the ESXi host

  -Activate the firewall ESXi 80 443 httpClient

  -Run esxcli list of software vib | grep vcloud to check if the agent is already installed. But nothing showed up.

  All this made no difference. Installation always times out...

  Someone at - he seen this before?

  Ok! Now, the problem is fully resolved. Guess what the problem... The internal USB controller on the blade has been fixed in BIOS to USB 1.1! I changed it to USB 2.0 and everything works twice as fast and I was able to prepare the vCloud host successfully.

  Do not know why the BIOS setting has been changed just for this blade. Glade to have it well sorted.

• Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS

  Hi people,

  We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.

  We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.

  Following problem.

  When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.

  After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.

  Any ideas?

  Concerning

  Jean

  How did you the storage profile associated with the data store?  via c# client or vSphere web client?

  If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.

  A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.

  I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster).  Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

• Why 5.5 vcloud Director only has not the ability "add a network to an organization?

  I have deployed the ovules of Director 5.5 vcloud in my lab environment and watching videos. In the videos, the guy has deployed vcloud Director 1.5 eggs. I noticed that this homepage of vcloud Director 5.5 is not the option 'Add a network at an organization' as in vcloud Director 1.5.

  Did remove this feature in 5.5. Then I thought that it could be controlled from within the Organization after you create it, but again once I created the Organization, there is no option to add a network to this organization? I'm playing something here? How can we tolerate that they are private, the administrator of the Organization to create a network that is using a NAT or directly connected to the external network on the fly and remove it once it is not necessary. I though that it was a feature of the vcloud Director.

  I used the EGG apparatus, I have use the .bin file.

  Your help is appreciated. !!

  You EF network pool Org vDC wide (it's in properties)

  At the same time that you create a network Org inside the Org vDC going to just use the current network are entrusted to him.  Then, you make all your usual choices.  to do this, vDC display Org itself... go to list of org vDC in manage and monitor, and then double-click the VCC Org that you want to add a network.

  VAPP networks work exactly the same, create you them at the time the vApp is created.  This will use the network pool that is currently assigned to the Org vDC when the TIME Gets deployed.

  Overall, the function at the level of the consumer (org users) is the same, the process-level administration system has changed a bit.

• Mac OS 10.8 VM cannot reach subnet VLANS / different from the host with Fusion 5

  I have a server of Mac Mini significantly improved, high-top of the range, operating behind a firewall, Zyxel USG.  As the host, the Mac Mini runs a server OS X 10.8 virtualized with VMware Fusion 5 (mainly as an e-mail server).  To avoid opening the ports directly to the host-MacMini and LAN1 to better customize security and settings area, I want to put the virtual machine on VLAN1.

  However, no package VLAN is pass to the virtual machine.  I tried two configurations:

  Home > VLAN1 in Network preferences > VMware Fusion set to network via VLAN1 bridge > comments "Ethernet" connects effectively to the VLAN1

  Home > (LAN1) Ethernet in Network preferences > set VMware Fusion to bridge network through LAN1 > comments > add VLAN1 to guest network preferences

  In both situations, * zero packets * make out of the VM/comments on VLAN1.

  My suspicion is that VMware Fusion 5 does not support packages VLAN marked.

  Advice/suggestions for how to get the virtual machine to join VLAN1 or really, just a different subnet?  Are there drivers tagging VLAN for VMware Fusion 5?

  The FIXED - partially, at least.

  It had to do with the package being truncated by VMware.  After I have configured VLAN1 on the host, and then in the hardware parameters, chose 'Jumbo Packet Size'.  Then I jumpered the VM via connection host VLAN1.  ALTO!  This works.

  However, trying to connect to the virtual machine as a direct customer of VLAN1 is always unsuccessful. The virtual machine which truncates the packets when it sends them between the host and the guest (and vice versa).  However, if tagging VLAN is the host to level (as I have it configured), then the virtual machine can communicate successfully on the VIRTUAL LAN.

• vCloud Director & database running on the virtual machine

  Hi people,

  I looked for this information on documentation and the online forum, but I have not found it. Is it possible to run vCloud Director Service and Oracle DB on Virtual Machines VMware? And if it's possible, VMware will support it?

  Don't forget that I will reserve all the resources of these virtual machines.

  Thank you!

  Jean-

  Running vCloud Director in one or more virtual machines is certainly supported.

• Can configure the server from the host with IP address

  Hello

  I want to configure a guest computer with 2 network cards, one for LAN private and one for the external LAN.

  Right now, the problem is that I don't have that 1 useable public IP I can use on the external network address.

  Which means that it's either I configure the public ip address on the NIC host or on the comment card.

  May I just know set network bridge on the guest computer and configure the external static public IP, and then click map NETWORK address of the host machine, I set up the ip address. Will this work?

  Please notify.

  shanmomo wrote:

  If you mean that by disabling TCP/IP on the host, the guest computer can access external WiFi?

  Yes, if you use a Windows host, just uncheck the TCP/IP on the bridged card.

  Or use NAT, then both machines can connect to the internet with a single IP.

• Setup.pl running on the host with no existing data storage

  I have a new environment, I'll put up: Dell Vmware 5.0 guest (s) and a 10 Gb Equallogic SAN PS61xx

  I am the great Dell documentation and want to run setup.pl to configure my Vmware Vswitches, then install the DellMultipathing (MEM)

  I installed Vsphere CLI on my workstation to mgmt and you attempt to run this command:

  Setup.pl - installation - server = 172.19.0.203 - bundle = dell-eql-mem-esx5 - 1.2.0.365964.zip

  This operation fails because there is no data presented to the host still store

  I'm in the chicken and egg scenario, I need available storage to be able to connect to the storage!

  How to do this? running off a VMA device would be different? (I think VMA runnign out of my workstation management using VMware Workstation)

  Thank you

  Looks like you have currently not iSCSI installation program.  The option - install option assumes iSCSI is already running.   You simply install the software.

  In the user guide starting on page 7 is the use of setup.pl to configure iSCSI and then install MEM in addition to this.

  Setup.pl - configure - bestpractices - server = hostname [-username = username]

  [- password = password] - NIC = NIC1, NIC2,... - ips = IP1, IP2,...

• Target ball and ball over Active on the host with a lot of free memory

  Just at the moment where I think I understand the management of the ESX memory, something confuses me once again.  My understanding of the balloon pilot, is that when an ESX host has need of more memory to be allocated to other virtual machines as the VMKernel steals memory back from the virtual computer running.  However, I have a virtual machine which seems to indicate that the target of ball is well above what is memory 'Active', and the host ESX virtual machine running on a 6 GB of unused memory.  I think that this might have led this virtual machine to go into a State of forgetfulness once already, because I found it does not, only to discover that she used only 30% of CPU and 2 GB Active out of 6 GB of memory allocated, but making a ton of swap memory.  What gives?

  Why in the world of the balloon pilot would target memory on a VM running busy, when there is a lot of free memory available on the host, and why would be a beginning of comments Exchange when it uses only a fraction of the memory allocated to it and the host is sitting on the free memory pletty?  None of my other virtual machines have memory usage charts that look like this.

  This can happen even in the absence of resource pools. Check your settings of VM, "resources" tab and make sure that the unlimited checkbox that she checked on the memory and CPU...

• How to model the (eCommerce with 3PL business processes)?

  Dear,
  
  I have a gap to understand how business process must be modeled in an operation of e-commerce with a 3PL partner.
  
  Scenario of the case:
  Company 'A' and 'B', both run E-Business Suite.
  The company 'A' has a website of products which are intended to be sold. These products are the property of some sellers and not by the company "A".
  A buyer or a regular Internet user visits to the Web site and decides to buy a product.
  "B" company is responsible for choosing the products of the seller and their shipment to the buyer.
  
  Issues related to the:
  
  (1) to which side is the input control to the "A" side business "or"B"?
  It should be entered in 'A', but it does not hold the stock because it is still owned by the seller of the product.
  But it should also be entered in 'B' because he is responsible to fill the sales order and therefore must maintain quantities.
  
  (2) is it a purchase order is entered at any time? If Yes, then on what side?
  
  In the real case, the company 'A' never hold quantities of stocks at any time, it just creates sales orders, but how it is implemented in the system?
  And Company 'B' executes the command in the real case, but when he did get their hands on the amount?
  
  
  Kind regards
  
  Suleiman

  It is easier if you separate the stream here in two processes.
  Finance: the customer pay has produced. A seller of the product country. Country B for shipping.
  Logistics: B picks up the seller and shall issue to the customer.

  Here is my suggestion.
  In the case of BSE has
  (1) configure the provider and B as a provider in Oracle
  (2) the customer as a customer of Oracle installation program.
  (3) create a drop ship order first. On the drop delivery order, delivery and billing is the customer.
  (4) convert the ship drop PO requisition. On the PO, the Bill is and recipient is the ship-is vendorand customer .
  (5) on the drop ship PO, select B as a way by ship/ship.
  (6) send shipping information to B (e.g., ship and recipient information). Oracle has some nice way to automate this via SOA/BPEL.
  (7) or trigger another PO to pay B for shipping or simply to pay the Bill of B without a purchase order.

  In the case of EBS from B
  (1) has as a client configuration.
  (2) when shipping information is received (step 6 above), create a sales order. The Bill is and recipient is the customer. Billing information must be generic (such as the transport of goods).

• vCloud Director 5.1 with vco 5.5 plugin configuration

  I installed the plugin for vCloud director 5.1 in vCenter Orchestrator 5.5, the plug-in installed very well with the certificate that I imported from the url. However, configure the plug-in is another story, when I go to set up the plug-in of the customer or in the page web configuration, I get "failed to connect with the user name. My authorization of vco is configured with LDAP, so is my vCloud Director. In the client workflow 'Add link' vco for vCloud director, my selections are the url to vCloud, port 443, active, max 600 connections, the connection times out 20000 ms, session mode by user, the use and organization system SAML authentication Session. I followed the instructions of the Plugin VMware vCenter Orchestrator Documentation Centre . I tried to configure the plug-in as a shared user and I get the same error. I tried to configure the plugin in the web configuration page and it excludes the host that is the url to vCloud, but I do not see an inventory after that restart services vco and vco customer return logging. My vCloud infrastructure is set up with 2 cells and her sitting behind a vShield load balancing.  If I try to configure the plugin to go directly to one of my cells the workflow times out. I have a request of service opened with vmware, but I hope someone else has experienced this problem or might have a few suggestions that will point me in the right direction.

  Thank you

  Changing the IP of my vco did the trick. When I set up the server of vco, I put it on the same subnet as my vcd cells. While my load balancer was on a separate subnet. Assigning the vco server an ip address on a different subnet allowed transmitted traffic of the vco through the load balancer, solve my problem of time-out.

• vCloud connector 2.5 - copy the model of vSphere to vCloud Director fails

  Hi all

  I'm trying to make a copy of the model of the private Cloud for vSphere (e.g. my instance of vCenter lab) the vCloud Director private cloud (my instance vCD lab, which is deployed and registered with the same instance of vCenter mentioned above) with vCloud connector 2.5.

  I have deployed the server component of vCC, configured and deployed two nodes of vCC - a to connect to vCenter for private cloud config vSphere and another to connect to the vCloud Director org for the basic cloud vCD config private. Moreover, the vCloud Director is registered to the same instance of vCenter which is used for vSphere cloud.

  I then tried to open a copy of the model from the vSphere cloud node to the node of vCD. The task to export the OVF template will start, and the task of SCR plugin will also display the copy task. This vCD instance also model any TIME if you go to the properties of the VDC organization selected during the SCR copy Wizard.

  After about 18%, the percentage remains stuck there for a little bit before the 'Export OVF Template"task fails with"Operation timed out ". After that, the task indicated in the vCC plugin will fail also later with (OVF Export failed. Null message) and the import of VAPP model in vCD job will fail also - VAPP failure will take upward of space inside the affected storage however profile until I have manually remove the failing through vCD VAPP model object.

  Anyone else having this problem? I've seen this problem on both environments so far: vCenter 5.1 update 1 with vCD 5.1.2 and vCenter 5.5 with vCD 5.5. If the problem seems to be specific to the version of vSphere. The logs generated by server SCR bee all that useful for me to understand what went wrong did not.
