• Assign a policy to a custom data center

  Hello

  I created a custom data center and added 3 groups that have "Custom strategy 1" that was. When I open the remaining capacity on the data center customized for the analysis screen, it is with vSphere Solutions default strategy. How can I assign the 'Custom 1 strategy' to the object custom data center so that it uses my buffers HA and approve the limits. When I navigate to the custom tree data center and select clusters, they use the "Custom correct strategy 1.

  I'm under vrops 6.1.0 3038038

  You must create a group for the custom data center and assign this group "Custom 1" or add the data to an existing group that you have your custom policy assigned to Center.

• Failed to create dashboard customized by vRealize Operation manager

  Hi all

  I just deployed a cluster of vRealize (v.6.0.2) Operations Manager and I am able to deploy solutions/manage roles inside. However, when I want to create the custom dashboard, I found that there is no such option for me.

  

  I connect the administrator account created during the installation, which is supposed to have every permission.

  

  No suspicion on which permission/configuration I may have missed to create dashboard?

  Thank you

  Looks like you are using a key of vSOM.  I see it's enterprise edition, which entitles you to vSphere Enterprise, but all versions of vSOM give access to only the Operations Manager Standard edition features vRealize.

  The link below mentions "capabilities are equivalent to the vRealize Operations Manager Standard edition"

• Virtual machines by operating system in data center

  Hello people,

  I'm trying to write a script that totals VMs in a datacenter by operating system. Here's what I have so far:

  Get-vm-location (get-data center-name "DC1"). %{

  $totals [$_] ExtensionData.Config.guestFullName] ++

  }

  $totals

  This works for the DC1 datacenter, but what do I do if I want to collect totals for all data in my vCenter centers? I would also like to export the data to html format, so that it can be read as a report in a browser.

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Rob

  You could do something like that to get a report for each datacenter

  foreach($dc in Get-Datacenter){
    Get-VM -Location $dc |
    Group-Object -Property {$_.ExtensionData.Config.guestFullName} | %{
      Select -InputObject $_ -Property @{N="Datacenter";E={$dc.Name}},Name,@{N="Count";E={$_.Group | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count}}
    }
  }

  This should not be a problem.

  Have you tried the script from the prompt PowerCLI?

  Maybe stop/start prompt PowerCLI or the GUI where you start the script.

• Causing problems of custom data type to deploy the shared target RT variable

  I seem to have some difficulty in using a shared variable published network created from a customized data type when it is deployed as an executable on a target of cRIO RT.  I'll start by describing why I think that this is the rub.  I created my RT VI in the LabVIEW (LV 2012) development environment and everything works fine.  This VI is quite simple, because these were quickly devolved into an exercise in debugging.  The RT VI begins by simply flashing the LED to a couple of times and then starts a loop simple acquisition to read some values out of the material using the analytical engine (while still flashing the LED of the user).  After reading the material, the values are grouped in a cluster and written in a shared variable published to the network defined by a custom control type def.  The custom control contains five floats double precision.  If it's important, the RT cRIO system hosts the shared variable in this case.

  So I have that deploy in the development environment, and everything works fine.  The LED flashes merrily along, telling me that the program runs correctly.  Running a VI host who reads the shared network has published variable gives the desired result.  Everything is good.

  Now, I want the cRIO system to run this simple program by itself at startup.  I build, set it as start VI, deploy it, and then restart the cRIO target.  The LED never flashing... the VI doesn't seem to work.  I'll spare you the major part of the work of debugging and access to the end.  I basically "diagram Disabled" various sections of the code up to the VI began to run correctly in an executable file.  I kept reducing the size of the disabled code until something has been disabled: the writing in the shared variable for the custom data type.

  So, I guess my question is this: are custom data types defined by type def would be personalized orders authorized executables to RT?  I read through the cRIO Developers Guide, my book of development in real time course of NOR and the white paper using shared Variables and I see nothing that forbids it.  I know that there are things not allowed in the executable files that are allowed in the development environment (property nodes façade, dialogue live, operating system specific calls, etc.), but no mention of the shared variable type custom data.  Any ideas as to why my VI is running in the development environment, but does not update unless I have delete the entry on the published network variable shared?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  You must disconnect the data types of variables and then recompile. You can find it useful to keep on disk, a copy of the original lvlib.

  Don't know if this is a bug or not. It was suggested by someone in the forum that putting the ctl files in the right position (the disk? in the draft?) would allow the rtexe start; I did a quick check and it didn't work then I dropped the tests more far.

• 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.

• Migration Oracle RAC to the new data center

  Hi all

  We are 'legacy' Oracle 11 G RAC cluster from another company and I am looking for a way to migrate with the minimum of downtime. Our team has no CARS, nor database administrator Oracle also experience.

  We intend to test the migration by cloning the environment a few weeks before and just see if everything is OK.

  Question is, what is the best way to migrate this RAC cluster and it's data to a new data center? Reinstallation of the operating system (Linux) and recreate the RAC cluster are not an option I want to examine.

  For example, in the land of SQL Server, we can use sending newspapers or replication to keep a copy of the database in the new data center as close as possible direct database (data-wise). Date of commissioning, we stop the direct instance, run last restore log or something else, then set up the databases on the new data center.

  Thanks in advance.

  Data Guard. It is the name of "log shipping" feature Oracle. It's probably closer to always on SQL Server availability groups, except that the Oracle database is a large group.

  I speak not Active Data Guard which is an extra cost that gives options on top of Data Guard.

• Very big problem on server Esxi on a data center

  Hi dear friends,

  IM using esxi virtualization server in a data center

  everything was good until the month last one of my server has the problem like this:

  When i install a new virtual machine when the installation ends and the operating system restarts and rises when he wants to recognize the network adapter

  the root server goes down. now all my servers to this DC have this problem and I can not add or turn on any virtual machine on that server.

  Anyone with this problem, if so, what is the solution?

  Help, please

  Thank you

  Just to clarify:

  You have an ESXi host.  Configure you a new virtual machine and install an operating system.  When the operating system restarts and tries to use in the host network ESXi restarts.

  Is this correct?

  Please give some more details:

  1. ESXi version

  2. Virtual Machine OS

  3. managed with vcenter

  4. virtual network for ESXi host and virtual machine configuration

  5. material the ESXi host is running

  6. nothing in the two papers that can help

  Thank you

• Licenses of Microsoft and VMware data center

  Hello

  You have a question regarding Microsoft Licensing and VMware ESX hosts.

  We have a Microsoft School Agreement and a lot of our windows servers are running standard edition. One is business running. All about the physical servers.

  We are virtualizing some of our Windows servers and schools prices are very favourable if we buy a license of data center. Its about £70 and it means that we can run an unlimited number of Microsoft server VM in VMware. relation to the enterprise which is only £5 cheaper, but only allows you to run a maximum of 4 people.

  Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

  If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

  Thank you

  > Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

  Fix.

  License from Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to run with Virtualization Technologies

  Page 13:

  Instead of license servers with enough licenses Windows Server 2008 Standard to satisfy the greatest number of simultaneously running instances of Windows Server, the processors in servers could be allowed with Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition. This would allow an unlimited number of instances of Windows Virtual Server to run simultaneously in operating systems. Because the servers have two processors, two licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition for each server should be. Licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition provides the flexibility to move instances of Windows Server without concern to maintain the license compliance.

  > If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

  Anton is correct - Datacenter license covers only the OS Server.

• 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.

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware so I hope someone can help me with this small request! Currently in our environment, we have two ESXi servers (both with several virtual machines) and we would like to add to vCenter.  vCenter is configured, acting as a license server & when attempting to add a host to the data center, we get the following message "there is not enough licenses installed to run the operation. Is it possible to add an ESXi server to vCenter?

• Custom data type

  We use a custom data type container and add variables to use in the sequence inhabitants.

  It seems that the field of the local variable names having to match domain names that they have seized originally in the custom data type container.

  We want to reuse the custom several times in the sequence container for data type and would like to have descriptive field names of their use, which changes throughout the sequence.

  Is it possible to just rename the names of the fields of a local variable is of the type, data type container custom, while maintaining the field names the original custom data type container?

  Hi CC57,

  I also recommend trying a templateVariable. You can use this to create a container with a particular name that you can copy in various places in the variable pane and change the names of the properties of confined there.
