• NCP does not work after upgrade VMA

  Hello

  I use PCNS 3.0.1 on Vsphere ESXi 5.0.1 and VMA for to stop the virtual machine and the host failure. Last week I upgraded VMA 5.0.0 version 5.0.0.1 (not really an upgrade, but a clean installation). Unfortunately, the automatic closure no longer works.

  When I run the shutdown script, it seems that the relevant ESXi host cannot be found or it is not managed by the VMA. Then, I tried a complete new installation of all components, but the problem remains.

  Anyone who recognizes this problem? Solution for now is to stick to VMA 5.0.0

  Hello

  VMware is aware of this problem and is working on a fix. A KB (2020598) will be published shortly.

  Thank you

• vMA 5-5.0Patch1 fails with the error 403?

  Hi all

  I have a vMA installed 5.0.0.0 with NCP running on it... I looked and saw the post about VMtools but I haven't touched VMtools on this app. When I try to use the Web portal to update the device, it error and when I check the logs, the error is:

  Don't know what is my next action other than redeploy :/

  http 403 error means "forbidden". Are you using a proxy server to connect to the internet which may prohibit access because of IP restrictions or bad/lack of proxy account information?

  Are you able to download the file requested manually using curl?

• vMA 5.5 error: cannot add users.

  Hello.

  I need to add 3 guests to vMA.I is not domain controller.

  1 deploy charges vMA of the FVO and configure the IP and password for admin-vi.

  2. Add the first host from ESX01 successfully. ( vifp addserver esx02 - fpauth authpolicy)

  3. added ESXi of second and third finishing with failure. (commands below)

  VI-admin@vma02:~ > vifp addserver esx02 authpolicy - fpauth

  root@esx02's password:

  VI-admin@vma02:~ > vifp mailing lists

  esx02.localdomain ESXi

  VI-admin@vma02:~ > vifp addserver esx03 authpolicy - fpauth

  root@esx03's password:

  Error: Cannot add users

  in vSphere client, you can see something that:

  

  For above tasks creates user-vi and vi-admin next. After that many seconds, vi-admin is removed (I dunno why...)

  In what newspapers can I find something more?

  var/log/VMkernel.log on the host is not clear to me... but if someone asks I'll stick.

  What should I do more? I want only add 3 esxi servers at VMAs and the next time you connect to these esxi without putting password.

  Interesting, that's when I deployed the next vMA02 and VM03, I can only add an esxi to vMA. During the second and third esxi adding that generate the same mistakes... Now I have 1 vMA for each host ...

  Please on the suggestion and help... because my adventure with vMA is not good... the last time I was the problem with this vMA 5.5 the session is not authenticated after connect you to the target ESXi and not solved this in my second lab...

• VCAP5.5 DCA - vMA and Autodeploy

  Hi all

  I am due to the DCA vcap 5.5 review next month. I've seen some ports on the VMAs and automatically deploy. Neither seem to be included in the action plan (other than under the recommendations of the course descriptions), so I expected is not to study these. Is it possible that they could be part of the review?

  Thank you!

  There's vMA VMs in the environment and will be expected to use.  vMA is not a subject of the review.

  Automatic deployment is not an accent but could be included as an example of management PowerCLI.

  tomsmig - just like akarydas2 said, you need to comment out the line 'That the groups' in the sshd_config file.  This is mentioned in the original vMA 6.0 release notes.  You can do this by logging in first at the VMAs as the user vi-admin and then running the following command:

  sudo vim/etc/ssh/sshd_config

  

  Once in the file, arrow down to the line letter and press "Allow wheel groups' 'I' and then place a"#"at the beginning of the line.  The line will turn blue when it is commented out.

  

  To save it, press "ESC" then enter a colon ":" and then type "wq" (write + quit)

  

  Then, type: sudo reboot followed by the password admin-vi.

  

  After the vMA has restarted, you can SSH via PuTTy using your [email protected] credentials.  There is no need to add "@vma1" to the end.  I hope this helps!

  

• VMA new v6 Server Error (s) runs a command ESXCLI: connection failed. Digital fingerprint SHA1 of the server (not approved)

  New Server v6 of vMA. Added two new ESXi hosts v6 at the VMAs with no problems. When I change the target to one of these new hosts and try to run "esxcli system syslog recharge", I get the error: failed to connect . (Untrusted) Server SHA1 thumbprint [thumb print listed here] .

  Research tells me what to do if I get this error running and order ESXCLI on my PC, but nothing when it arrives at the VMAs.

  Any help is appreciated people - thank you!

  vMA 6.0 Release Notes

  • ESXCLI command displays SSH fingerprint error

    When you run a command ESXCLI in each target ESX, footprint SSH error appears. Add the footprint against each target ESX using the credstore_admin.pl utility. Run the following command:

    /usr/lib/VMware-VCLI/apps/General/credstore_admin.pl add s ServerName> imprintt >

    where: servername is the name of target ESX and Thumbprint is the value that is received in error during the execution of the command esxcli .

    For example:

• urgent vMA, would appreciate your help VCAP is tomorrow.

  
  

  
  

  Hi all

  
  

  I would be eternally grateful if anyone has any advice on this problem.  I have installed and configured a new instance of the VMAs, he added on the field, added target servers, however I do seem to be able to run anything against the hosts resxtop for example.  He not seem not serious if I run it with information of local identification or AD nada! prompt bounces just to me.  I know that the credentials are correct for what I tried, I confirmed the time system, tried the two keyboard American/UK, rebooted the box I know DNS is ok and we tried the intellectual property without worrying.  Its a long shot, but if someone could take a look at the attached screen shot and let me know if I something stupid I would be grateful.  I really want to nail this as its in my VCAP tomorrow, I feel like I know the relevant controls but want to actually test it.

  
  

  You can try this sudo mv/usr/lib/vmware-rcli/lib / / usr/lib/vmware, then resxtop of fire.

• vMA unable to join the domain

  Hello

  
  

  I can't join the domain (windows-based).

  I want to join my vMA to the domain, but it is always the wrong password
  

  
  

  When I follow these steps on my vMA

  domainjoin-cli join < domain name > <-domain admin-user >

  
  

  He invites me authorization error so I tried with sudo

  
  

  VI-admin@VMA: sudo domainjoin-cli join < domain name > <-user-admin of the field: can I use to connect on my other computers >

  
  

  then he gives me a wrong password... my password is correct...

  I tried on two versions of vMA, 4.1 and 5.1/5.5
  

  any suggestions...
  

  Hey VirtualRay

  Your VMA has the same DNS settings in your area?

  So if you your vCenter Server ranging from ping vcenter01.mydomain.lan pings is returned correctly?

  If so, it should work

  1 from the vMA console, run the following command:

  sudo domainjoin-cli join

  2 when you are prompted, provide the password for the administrator of Active Directory.

  On successful authentication, the command adds vMA as a member of the domain. The command also adds entries in the file/etc/hosts with vmaHostname.domainname.

  3 restart vMA.

  Now you can add a target Active Directory at the VMAs. For the procedure to do this, see Add servers at VMAs targets.

  To check the settings of the domain of the vMA

  Since the vMA console, run the following command:

  sudo domainjoin-cli application

  The command displays the name of the domain for which vMA joined.

  Dear,

  you know vMA require IP pool, I did then after deploy vMA 5.1 or 5.5 then the VMAs that have failed, its only at the same machines in subnet ping requests.

  I have implemented open access password of the Esxi with keys.

  The scrip is

  /sbin/shutdown.sh & &/sbin/poweroff

  I added to the vMA sudoers vi - admin:ALL

  I run the script with

  Hello

  'ssh root@IP '.

  the session will be opened and shut just after.

  You can use "ssh root@IP COMMAND" into a single line to open ssh, run the command and close the connection right after.

  Another problem may be that some orders may not be run remotely, because they require a TTY. In the case of ssh knows the-t option to force a nickname-ttyp allowance.

  I can't get the command to show me how Boolean If the virtual machine has snapshots, delete them or go back to the last.

  I'm afraid this is the best you can do with what the vMA builtin tools offer, unless you write custom perl scripts using the viperltoolkit (comes with the vMA).

  The vMA was always intended as a sort of CLI of ESX (i) local centralized to manage the hosts and virtual machines through commands supported (esxcfg-* / vicfg-*, esxcli etc.), which are also available on a local host ESX (i); with the advantage that it is centralized and you don't have to enable SSH on your guests every time.

  More advanced things like management of VMS (apart from basic start/stop etc.) must be done through the standard API applications as the vSphere Client (Web) (with vCenter), PowerCLI scripting or other APIs such as the viperltoolkit.

• Impossible LOGIN SSH of VMA to ESXI 5.1 update1

  IS ssh [email protected] command ' / sbin/shutdown.sh '

  I created the public key on the VMAS and copy it to/etc/ssh/keys-root/authoraized_keys on the Esxi 5.1 .pub < key_name > cat > >/etc/ssh/keys-root/authoraized

  has overcome the problems of interactive keyboard and password

  Cannot find how to solve Permission denied (publickey).

  
  

  I generated the key using the command -> ssh-keygen

  
  

  Thank you

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Offen is a problem on the files of key or .ssh dir. of permissions

  Check /var/log/auth.log on the FYI esxi host.

  And please after the ls-l output keys and directories they are located (on the two hosts) if they are defined in the world readable or something, the authentication will fail.
