• Failed to create the gateway for virtual data center edge

  Hello

  I'm new to the vCD, when I tried to create a "bridge of edge" for the virtual data center, it failed, saying:

  Deployment of edge gateway PALEdgeGateway has failed.

  com.vmware.vcloud.fabric.nsm.error.VsmException: error response VSM (10105): could not publish configuration on vShield Edge. Has no power on VM vse-PALEdgeGateway (66b92dc1-c973-4744-8c0e-88e2d2211eae)-0. (No host is compatible with virtual machine).

  then I found this KB, suspecting that vShield that Manager is not synchronized with vCD:

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2060542

  I followed the steps in this KB resolution, but still did not work.

  Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!

  (We use vCloud Director 5.5.0 1323688, vSphere Client 5.5.0 1281650)

  Hi FredrickGu,

  Really sorry for the late reply. Our working hours doesn't seem to be the same.

  You are right that VShield Manager & POSSIBLE are the same. You will be able to deploy the Cluster edges & host view,

  Select a resource of data centers in the inventory tree, click the visualization of network tab and click the + to add edges. Ensure that we test the edge deployment against a successful VCD Host.If deployment works, it confirms the deployment of edge is certainly intact and communication POSSIBLE-host is very well.

• Virtual Server Center down and as its also the license server, it cannot start

  I have the virtual center server which is also the license as a virtual machine server. We had problems with the SAN today and decided to move this server to local storage in the case of other issues during the weekend, until we can diagnose/solve the problems of SAN. However, it will not start back up to stop the virtual machine to move (no installation storage vmotion again) and complains that cannot see the license server, the license server's so how can we start it?

  I tested stop this server before and to work around the problem, then we have just activated evaluation mode, the server restarted, and he returned to the license server mode when it was high, but he used to do that now and I can not start any vm at all and since most of them failed because of problems with SAN storage I need to get this resolved as soon as possible. The difference between when we tested before and now 4 months and update 3 has been applied recently.

  How do I start the server in its current or is configuration - it is no longer possible to use the evaluation mode and we do the licensing of other words, IE non-virtual?

  ......

  I managed to start the server using VM Player running in another physical server, but this is not an ideal long-term solution, but out me an affair until we solve this problem.

  Many people run in this mode.

  As a backup, just getting up an another license server using your existing key.  Point the ESX host with virtual machine on it to the 'temp' license server by connecting to the host ESX directly with the VI Client.

  Back up the virtual machine.

  Change license server address that you modified on the back of ESX host.

• Renaming of data center, Cluster and Datastore in Evo's default object names

  Hello

  The data center, Cluster and vSAN Datastore objects in my Evo device newly installed all default to the label of 'MARVIN-... ». Is it safe to rename the appropriate labels to my environment, such as a location for my data center object? I suspect that it is not serious because the underlying UID will not change, but am looking for confirmation of a person who did successfully in a laboratory or production environment and who also managed to apply the patches of Evo subsequently.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it is safe to rename these object types - Evo uses values of managed reference numbers (moref) object for the object of theses types - so that they are safe rename...

  The thing to keep away the trade of system generated for VMotion, VSAN, Marvin and management network. By all means, feel free to add other VM exchanges...

• Moving cluster in the new data center in virtual Center.

  Hi all

  I want to store my virtual Center layout. To do this, I want to move an existing cluster that exists on another physical site in a newly created in the virtual data center. When I try to move the existing cluster object, I get an error saying "the operation is not supported on the object.

  This does mean that I have to create a cluster and move the hosts one at a time, or is there a way to move the real cluster?

  Thanks in advance.

  You have to re-create the cluster indeed. Logout of the host, and then add the host to the new cluster.

• FabricPath or OTV between two data center using Direct fiber cable

  Hello

  I have two data center both of them has the same equipment N7k, N5k and N2k, and we want the dataCenter being active/active, I'm really confused to use OTV or FabricPath characteristic, if someone can help me with my scenario and explain to me what is the best solution and advantage and disadvantage between OTV and PabrcPath.

  Many thanks in advance

  Hi Steven,

  No problem, I'll go through your points as completely as possible. I advise you to read more about these protocols, maybe if you have access to INE or similar, see their videos on this. I would also like to say again that I have not seen all documentation Cisco indicating that FabricPath to be used as a DCI.

  With regard to the way fabric you ask what follows...

   1. only can use it between two datacenters of you have more we can't, please correct me?

  No, you can use the path of fabric with more than two data centers, but even with OTV, you can use it with more than two data centers.

   2. HSRP localization can not be implemented as OTV. However You can have two differnet Gateways at the Data Center 1 and 2 using two different HSRP groups. If server is moved dynamically from, (i didn't understand this point can you please explain with example?

  OK, so this is a GREAT topic. Location of HSRP CAN be implemented with OTV, but cannot be implemented with fabric path. First hop redundancy protocols can be localized and is supported by Cisco with OTV, this basically allows the same default gateway to reside in two of your data centers providing the ACTIVE/ACTIVE configuration. So no matter where your VM is, they did not change their default, even if gateway your servers to move to the other datacenter.

  If we didn't have this, we would have only an active member of HSRP divided between DC and things would be extremely troublesome in regard to traffic flows. A virtual machine in DC2 VLAN needs to talk to host in VLAN B. But the default gateway is completely in DC1. So frame is sent to the ICD in DC1, then the gateway by default, routes packets VLAN B. This VLAN B lies in fact in DC2, so now it has to go all the way back to DC2. You get my point...? :)

  With localization happen only local to the domain controller. If all servers / VMS in the domain controller can speak locally to its "own" default gateway.

   3. unknown unicast flooding (can you give me an example?)

  Unknown unicast traffic is unicast packets/images with unknown destination mac address. By default, switches are flooding this type of traffic to all ports in the VLAN. With path of fabric that would take place during your DCI, but with OTV, it is all taken care locally, so massive savings on bandwidth here and it is much more effective.

   4. ARP optimization between Data Center (can you give an example regarding ARP optimization?)

  There is another function of OTV, which makes it far superior on the way of tissue. Essentially, we are reducing the volume of traffic passing through the transport infrastructure (i.e. ICD)

  When ARP, host in DC1 to host that responds in DC2, we use links and there is travel time of package that might be minimal, but is not the most optimal. OTV AED - or edge device spy ARP response and subsequently knows that this mapping exists from there. ARP takes place after the first Protocol, the EDA almost proxy ARP to DC1 so the ARP request locally does not have to travel to DC2.

   5. Typically two flows (Odd VLANs by OTV-VDC-1 and even vlans by OTV-VDC-2) carry the entire layer 2 traffic flow between the two Data Centes. Hence the load balancing the links is not efficient. ( (can you explain compare with FabricPath if you have example?)

  IMHO, it's bad and good. Balance the workload of the OTV if you have more than an AED on site. VLAN strange appointment via an AED, even numbered VLAN go through the other. Depending on traffic on VLANs, this could become unbalanced. Fabric used by all its links to mac addresses 'route' to the respective SID - ID switch she needs to do. So perhaps a better uniformity of split here.

   6. VLAN scalability for OTV is lower than FabricPath as of this content writing. (can you explain what this mean i didn't understand it)

  I completely disagree with this comment. I too do not understand.

   7. Resiliency of FabricPath network is better than OTV in some failure scenarios.(can me an example ?)

  I also disagree with that. Resilience of path of fabric could be same as OTV or perhaps better. However, my personal experience is that OTV fine tuning with things like BFD failover is much faster!

  Fabric is good because the control of aircraft ISIS and its operation is admirable, but could say the same for the OTV.

  Lets say one of the DCI links had to die, the transmission of the tissue path would continue through the other links, then perhaps for low latency, high frequency, environments that would be beneficial. OTV will change the EDA and re - learn mac, announced by other AEDS, addresses, but as I said, the time could be extremely minimal and tuning. This isn't a big deal, unless you need under second time convergence!

  I hope that I have answered your questions, I recommend use for your DCI OTV, use the path of fabric for your inside of local switching in your DC. This has been implemented repeatedly and the links I sent you the models validated Cisco also point out.

  Remember - fabric has been built to be a step towards TRILL, and replacement of protocols spanning-tree, OTV was built especially for the dci. They are both built and examples of specific design. It makes no sense to get these confused or mixed up, unless there is a real and pressing the case.

  Joel conclusion is right, use the right tools for the job. If the use case is good for the FP then OK, if not, OTV.

  Rcmnd - reading http://www.packetmischief.ca/2013/04/23/DCI-series-overlay-transport-vir...

• Virtual data centers how to a campus of double site?

  We begin to plan for a migration of vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  We have two data centers several miles share a link 10 gig.  In our current setup, we have a virtual data center that includes the host esx on both sites.  VMotion and storage vmotion work well on the link 10 gig.  HA and DRS are not currently configured, but it will be included in the new configuration.  I'm looking for the advantages and disadvantages to continue having a virtual Datacenter, against two, one for each physical site that includes only the servers at this place, that is, buildling1-vdc, would include esx1 bldg1, bldg1-esx2, etc., and construction2-vdc, would include construction2-esx1, bldg2-esx2, etc.. We would be able to preserve the beaches of IPS to each site in the case of a link failure.    As I understand it, we would not power of vmotion or HA and DRS established between the two virtual data centers.  Other have a virtual infrastructure of several location connected by links broadband?  If you do, how much virtual datcenters you have and how they are configured?

  Please ask questions if you need more specific information to answer the question.

  a "Datacenter" vCenter object is a limit for the vMotion and distributed vSwitches. So, if you want to migrate virtual machines between the buildings / clusters these groups must be part of the object of data center. Also if you want to have similar networks on both sides and you want to use Distributed vSwitched then you will need to have both part of clusters of the same domain controller so that the VDS objects are pushed down.

• data center issues

  I have two data centers in a virtual Center and there is no communication between data centers. But I need to transfer at distance a V/M to a datacenter to another and vice versa... Can I download files from datacenter1 to the virtual Center and virtual data center 2... How is it possible... Please let me know if there is another way to transfer files from one data center to others...

Please let me know if there is another way to transfer files from one data center to others...

  Are you sure that datacenter1 cannot communicate with datacenter2 on the network?  What datacenter is the vCenter Server?

  Your options:

  1. turn off power the virtual computer and perform a migration of cold in all of your data center.

  2. power off the virtual computer.

  -Use the database browser to download the VM folder and store files on the vCenter server.

  -Using the browser from data store to download the folder and files in a data store in the second datacenter.

  3. you can use a tool third 3rd as Veeam FastSCP or WinSCP to copy the files and folder VM to a data store in datacenter1 in a data store in datacenter2.

  4. you could also use VMware converter to V2V the virtual machine then it turn off and remove from the source data center.

  If you provide more details or have any questions, I will be able to go further in these options.

• Mix the virtual switch different type in a Cluster and a data center.

  Can I mix standard virtual switch and a virtual switch distributed in different hosts to a Cluster/DataCenter? Can I vMotion virtual machine to a host of switch distributed to a host of standard switch and vice versa? Let's assume that the hosts have the same port group name (but have virtual swaitch different type), in the same data center, and have the same subnet IP vMotion.

  You can mix standard switches and distributed, that's what we call hybrid architecture... but to be able to migrate virtual machines between virtual switches, you must the vSphere 6 and again there are some limitations, like not be able to migrate from VDS vs.

• Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

  Hello

  What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

  Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

  I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

  Any help or assistance?

  Thank you
