• Script to automate the affinity of the crib of DRS-groups

  Hello

  I am trying to automate the rules of affinity for the drs Group Manager. The idea is to let some virtual machines running on

  assigned to the esx host (type 'Run VMs on Hosts' / 'Should run on hosts in the group').

  Background: we have esx hosts in two data centers interconnected 10 giga with a metrocluster netapp on each site hosting the nfs exports. I created two groups of type "Host DRS Groups" (in datacenter esx host a go into one, hosts datacenter b go the other) and two groups of type 'Machine virtual DRS Groups' (virtual machines hosted on export nfs one go into one, while the virtual machines hosted on nfs export b go the other). In this way, we can prevent nfs/iscsi traffic across data centers.

  Create the rules manually in a small cluster works. However with dozens of virtual machines in the other groups, there must be a way to automate the task and that it is regualary. I let powercli generate a list of VMS according to nfs export (hard location is either the field a or site b) then import the given in the Virtual Machine DRS group concerned.

  Using get-drsrule-Cluster 'cluster ' | Export-CliXml does not display a details for groups of DRS HOST or Virtual Machine DRS. Is it possible to do it at all? I recon using set-drsrule let me import rules.

  Any help / ideas is appreceated.

  Concerning

  Sascha

  The current DrsRule cmdlets do not, all I know, allows you to work with groups of DRS.

  As an alternative, you can use the ReconfigureComputeResource method that is available.

  The script should look like this

  $clusterName = "MyCluster"
  $cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName
  
   $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
  $groupVM = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec $groupVM.operation = "add" $groupVM.Info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmGroup $groupVM.Info.Name = "Grouped VM" 
  
  Get-VM -Name MyVM1* | %{
      $groupVM.Info.VM += $_.Extensiondata.MoRef
  }
  $spec.GroupSpec += $groupVM
  $groupESX = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec $groupESX.operation = "add"$groupESX.Info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterHostGroup$groupESX.Info.Name = "Grouped Host"
  
  Get-VMHost -Name MyHost1* | %{
      $groupESX.Info.Host += $_.Extensiondata.MoRef
  }
  $spec.GroupSpec += $groupESX
  $rule = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterRuleSpec$rule.operation = "add"$rule.info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmHostRuleInfo$rule.info.enabled = $true$rule.info.name = "Test DRS group rule"$rule.info.mandatory = $true$rule.info.vmGroupName = "Grouped VM"$rule.info.affineHostGroupName = "Group Host"$spec.RulesSpec += $rule
  $cluster.ExtensionData.ReconfigureComputeResource($spec,$true)
  
  The script first creates 2 DRS groups. One with the VMs and one with the ESX(i) servers.
  

  In the example, there all customers whose name starts with "MyVM1" for a group and all hosts whose name begins with "MyHost1" to the other group.

  These 2 selections will of course be changed for your configuration. Let me know what selection rules you want to implement for virtual machines and hosts and I can update the script.

  The script then creates a rule. Note that the rule specifies $true for the "required" property

  This means that a virtual machine will not be powered on if the placement host does not match the rule.

  The 2nd parameter to the ReconfigureComputeResource method allows you to specify if the changes defined in the $spec to add or not.

  If it's not $true all your cluster settings, except for the groups and the rule will be deleted. So, attention!

• List of VMS in DRS group

  In vSphere, you can right-click on a Cluster, click on "change settings > DRS Group Manager > (select a group), change" and view the list of virtual machines that are in the cluster.

  I'm looking to get this list even with the SDK... I was hunting for a way to do it but cannot find where in the API it is perhaps, the ideas of how I could get the list?

  Happy to provide the code so far, but it's just a simple cluster-related statistics and information; anything related to the issue.

  It is nestled in ClusterConfigInfoEx data.

  So you get your clusters and then look at what follows-

  $cluster-> {configurationEx}-> {Group}

  There are two types of groups, host and the Vm.  You can then check the type of groups of MV and the list of members.  You may also look at $cluster-> {configurationEx}-> {rule} if you want to see if its a rule group refines or disaffine.

• VMWare View Persona management 6.2.0 not sycning

  Currently, we have a problem with management persona not sync for many users and is very intermittent. We have tested on several different related clone pools with master several images and can reproduce this problem.

  We have the latest version of Symantec Endpoint Protection with EMET.

  We had the GPO settings configured exactly the same thing for the last few years and have never experienced any problems.

  We have checked and cached on the client side and deduplication is disabled.

  Has anyone ever experienced this problem before, and if so, any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  I can confirm that this problem has been resolved by disabling the following group policy setting:

  Wandering "Local Settings" or "AppData\Local" with the character of the user.

• Can't see the new table in the PS Group Manager

  Sorry guys, I'm kinda new to storage management. I worked in existing bays built by the last person who was here. Now that he is gone, I was charged with the addition of two additional paintings/members to our existing EqualLogics. Problem is that I see the 2 members in Group Manager, but not the 2 new ones. We have a data center managed by 3rd party and they say that they have wired everything in. Both are supposed to be cross-connected series via a connection to one of our servers and the other in an existing table. Now physically I don't know how everything is connected. I console just in Workgroup Manager. I don't see new members there. I tried to connect from one of the servers connected using PuTTY and the connection series. I've used sides of Baud has offered online. But I can't connect what either. Sorry if this sounds very basic - but what don't get me? How to see these devices to even configure the network adapters and RAID?

  Thanks for any help guys

  Hmm... what exactly do you mean with "the table is connected to the active controller?

  Guys in your data center can make the photo of the back of the EQL? See the two CMs with the cables and the LEDS may help.

  When putty.exe close the window immediately that there is probably nothing on the other end, but when it remains open, it is normally a good sign. Press 'enter' or ctrl + c. If you see garbage or nothing the connection parameters doesn't match. Once again its 9600/8/1/n.

  Note: if ever you restart an active EQL the CM moves which makes it difficult when with only a working serial cable.

  You can also try is turning off the device. Verify that your connection to the CM right and turn on again. You will see output of a CM of start-up.

  Do not use is not a black font on a black background in putty also makes life easier ;)

  Kind regards

• Nexus 7 K of the group management interface

  Dear,

  with regard to the release of the group management interface, if I configured a vlan intervace to be as an interface of management for a (the default vdc) vdc

  When I connected to this vdc via telnet, can I switch to any other vdc?  (Suppose I have the role of the Admin that allows me to enter and config all the VCC)

  If possible, so that I don't have to do a management dedicated to each VDC ip

  I do that only if I want to give an account of the vdc admin to allow some users access to the VLAN specific only, is it true?

  Hello

  Yes, it is possible.  When you log on as an administrator and you want to join another vdc, you simply use this command:

  SwitchTo vdc

  This will lead to the vdc.  If you want to return to the admin vdc, just type "switchback."

  Can explain everything about the use of these products and differentiate? Also, do I need to buy VMware vRealize Operations Manager 6.0 license to use this VSOM?

  vSphere with operations management Enterprise Plus 1 processor 6 includes 1 processor for vSphere Enterprise 6, Plus and one license for vRealize Operations Manager Standard.  You don't need to purchase vRealize Operations Manager 6.0 to use vSOM, as it is included.

• Create the DRS group for guests in 2 groups

  Because of the Microsoft SQL license by the basic model, we need to create groups of DRS for our SQL servers. We have 8 guests, but need to run the SQL VMs on host 2

  We are in the process of migrating to ESX 4.0 to ESXi5.5. We already have the server vCenter 5.5

  We do not have the configuration of ESXi 5.5 hosts yet, so we need to create the DRS groups on the host of 4.0. MS will not wait for us to migrate first.

  We have two clusters (2 external data center). Each with 4 servers esx 4.0. Simple question:

  DRS group cannot be created in a cluster? Can I create DRS groups at the level of the data center. Use a host in Cluster1 and a second in cluster2.

  Thank you

  DRS group cannot be created in a cluster? Can I create DRS groups at the level of the data center. Use a host in Cluster1 and a second in cluster2.

  DRS groups cannot be created in a single cluster and not those of clusters. Nothing else would make no sense in any case. DRS groups are to be limited by the DRS and DRS automatic migrations is only a process of entire cluster in the first place. So what would be the point of a single 'group DRS' through consolidation?

  But of course, you can create two distinct groups of DRS 2 separate clusters.

  According to the thread below, who doesn't have a lot of information, such as the resettlement of VUM, with a fresh DB can solve the problem.

• VMware vCenter Update Manager Client installation fails

  I have a system that has been upgraded to ESX 3.5 to vSphere and installed successfully the vSphere Client, can see my hosts and virtual machines without any problem.  I install the plugin VM converter, but when I try to install the plugin Update Manager it fails every time.

  I'm installing on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer (my laptop is also Win7 64 bit and it installed successfully there).  I tried to install the application and get the error message in the Windows application logs:

  Product: VMware vCenter Update Manager Client - Setup cannot continue. VMware vSphere Client is not found to be installed on this computer. VMware vCenter Update Manager Client can be installed only on machines where VMware vSphere Client is present.

  I've already entered my store of % TEMP % and tried to install just the exe file (VMware - UMClient.exe) and who is not, I copied the extracted files, including all the files .ini, .bmp, .msi and .mst to the root of my C drive and tried installing from there.  All this provided the same failure.

  During the installation, I get this message first indicating the location of my vSphere Client installation:

  

  When I click on the only 'real' installation option, then spend a few seconds and then I get this message:

  Click ok and then get a message saying that the installation has failed.

  I managed to do install finally.

  The strange solution was that I had to log on as an administrator of my machine and then install the plugin.  Even if my account is an administrator account.

  Anyway, problem solved, works perfectly and am clean now.

• Question of VMware DRS ESX cluster?

  Hello

  Just got a new Question that arises for me on VMware DRS need answers from you guys.

  -What happens in VMware ESX DRS if all ESX servers nodes cluster are running on full use of resources. Will be VMware DRS will migrate a virtual machine (which does not receive the amount of resources that he needs / configured) to another ESX base?

  According to the doc - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_resource_mgmt.pdf, DRS vmotion virtual machine based on the migration being configured threshold setting believes that a virtual machine for the migration if it does not receive the resources required.

  VCP 3.5

  (Preparation for VCP 4)

  I agree with Troy and Matt - and would add even if she tried to vmotion virtual machine, that he would be unable to because the way you have described the cluster, it is not all available resources to perform the vmotion since vmotion requires the resources available to complete with success-
