• Can't see resource calculate in the vRA, even if the vSphere Agent log shows a cluster

  I'm debating on the issue of whether the question should be minimal vRA installation requires anonymous authentication in IIS?  Or am I crazy?  I let you choose how to respond.

  This is a new installation of minimal vRA 6.2.1 new identity applice, vRA device and a single server Win2012R2 for all roles of IaaS. Gentle and the pre - req check tool was happy before you install it.

  However, when I went to add an endpoint yesterday for the vSphere Agent, I installed, I get the following error in the logs of vRA:

  Exception occurred retrieving the work of VRM: request the HTTP is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous '. The server received authentication header was 'NTLM, Negotiate. " Inner exception: the remote server returned an error: (401) unauthorized.

  A minimal installation uses anonymous authentication?  The pre - req just had check tool has that disable and use Windows authentication with the suppliers of the following order: NTLM, Negotiate.  Hmmm..., well although perhaps I'll activate anonymous and restart the agent of vSphere and see what happens.  I restart the agent and now I only get an error on the authentication and the following of the vSphereAgent.log seems to say that the endpoint is communication and a cluster of back of the vCenter:

  [03/31/2015 10:22:08] [Debug]: Thread-Id: 10 - Ping completed report

  However, when I navigate to compute resources under endpoint, vRA shows no clumps.

  What happens one? I'm going crazy?   Well, maybe, but actually part of the problem is that calculation of resources are not displayed when you think, until you go to groups - fabric groups and then check the clusters that you would like to use vRA.  Now when you navigate to calculate the select cluster resources will appear.  {shakes head and face Palm}

  The lesson is, so don't forget the section group of fabric with the addition or subtraction of compute resources.  In addition, it is perhaps orphan computing resources in the database.  The following KB may help solve this problem.  VMware KB: deletion of an endpoint in vRealize Automation fails with the error: the endpoint is used by comput #...

  Hope this helps some that can run into questions adding vCenter endpoint computing resources.

  Hey Sean,

  OK on one of my IIS servers

  At the level of the server host level anonymous authentication is the SSO is enabled

  Move forward in websites - Site by default - Windows authentication is the only thing allowed

  For the repository - anonymous and authentication Windows are enabled

  for the vcac - forms authentication is the only permit

  For the WAPI - anonymous and Windows authentication are enabled

• vSphere API: get cannot correct Cluster performance statistics

  Is it the right place to ask specific questions on vSphere for extraction of Performance API? If this isn't the case, please let me know where I should post instead.

  Overview

  I do something wrong, because at least the value of mem.consumed.AVERAGE is different from what shows the GUI vSphere, that bothers me.

  In addition, the list of statistics available (from vimPort.queryAvailablePerfMetric ()) for a ClusterComputeResource resourcePool is smaller that what (I think) the documentation [1] says it should be.

  What I am doing wrong? I hope that these two problems are related...

  I use the SDK 5.5 against a 5.1 vCenter.

  Details: mem.consumed Clusters

  Here, I have access to a ClusterComputeResource resourcePool, and get the statistic of mem.consumed, assuming it's the same metric as the statistical 'consumed' GUI for a cluster. But the API values are lower than the values in the GUI. I don't understand why. Do you have?

  Maybe related, our vCenter facility also has some stand-alone ESX hosts. They also have a resourcePool (under a "plain" ComputeResource). The HostSystem both the ComputeResource resourcePool have "consumed" statistic, but also here the ResourcePool "consumed" is that lower to of HostSystem metric consumption.

  Metric of usagemhz of the bunch is excactly the same GUI, so at least a part of what I do seems to be just.

  How can I get the values for "consumed" statistic a cluster that shows the GUI?

  Details: Measures available for clusters

  My own code gives the same results as com.vmware.performance.PrintCounters of SDK/vsphere-ws/java/JAXWS/samples/com/vmware/performance/PrintCounters.java in the file SDK.zip:

  $ JAVA_HOME = / usr/lib/jvm/java-6-Sun/jre. run.sh com.vmware.performance.PrintCounters - url https://Gaius/SDK -basic-connection - username "xxxx" - password "yyy" - entitytype ResourcePool - entityname resources - filename /tmp/resource.xml

  $ grep called InfoNom-key /tmp/resource.xml

  > key called InfoNom < usagemhz < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < vmmemctl < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < consumed < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < generals < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < cpuentitlement < / called InfoNom-key >

  > key called InfoNom < mementitlement < / called InfoNom-key >

  But where is mem.totalmb? or cpu.totalmhz? Looking at the GUI to Performance vSphere / advanced / table Options... / CPU / last day, totalmhz statistics is here, and I can see values for it in the GUI. But why not on the API?

  When you look at the documentation for vSphere for memory counter PerformanceManager (5.1 [1], 5.5 [2]), I do not understand what it means that the entity column is empty. This means that it should or should not be available for a ResourcePool?

  Links

  1. 5.1 memory counters
  2. 5.5 meter memory

  I discovered what was going on. I asked resourcePool of ClusterComputeResource and ClusterComputeResource not directly. Once I asked the ClusterComputeResource directly, I had access to all statistics, as I expected and it had the values that I expected.

• View and vSphere #Host 5.1 by cluster

  Read the guide to Architecture 5.1 view I noticed it says host up to 8 per cluster HA 32 if replica are on NFS.

  I could have sworn I read somewhere that with 5.1 and 5.1 vSphere view, you could have 32 host in a cluster using linked clones that reside on VMFS, but I can't seem to find the article that declares the fact.

  Can we please configrm or refuse if this is true.

  AFAIK the limit was lifted only for the clones running on NFS.    There is always the limit of 8 host based VMFS related clones.

• vSphere Upgrade without interruption

  Hello

  This is the scenario:

  10 5.0 ESXi hypervisor (free edition) with local storage

  All virtual machines must be available 24/7

  What I do:

  Upgrade to a paid version (std)

  Upgrade to 5.1

  Present a shared storage and virtual machines move it

  Install a server vCenter Server and add all hosts that he

  Suggestions for making the part "upgrade" without interruption for virtual machines? Then I just move them using storage available in 5.1 vSphere vmotion std.

  I can think of a way to do this, but I'd like to hear other members of VMware communities

  Thanks in advance!

  In this case I'll use just key in the trial installation and migration, ultimately it's what you would do when he was a new environment, I do not think that VMware will be too picky about...

• RAC extended: 2 site without interconnection SAN cluster?

  Hello:

  First of all thank you for your time and your support.

  We intend to deploy a Cluster extended RAC with 2 nodes (Dell PowerEdge) and SAS (Dell Powervault MD3220) 1 box on site A and the same on site B (and a third site of Quorum with vote NFS disk)

  the two sites will be interconnected with high-speed redundant (interconnection of cluster) and a redundant connection to the public network.

  I know that usually a SAN interconnection between site A and site B is necessary too, but the question is:

  It would be possible to deploy a cluster of 2 site without SAN interconnection between site A and B?

  
  

  It is possible to deploy the cluster without the dedicated storage site (SAN link) connection?

  ASM may reflect storage from site A to site B and vice versa through the cluster interconnect network ?

  Best regards.

  Hello

  As far as I know, we cannot build cluster without SAN interconnection between site A and site B.

  No, ASM provides mirroring across SAN

• VSphere 4 install on redhat cluster server

  Hello

  I am newbie to linux and vmware. I was given a task to install 4 Vshpere from VMware (ESX Server 4) on one of the cluster node. This cluster has a head node and the other compute node. For now, I need to install ESX server on the node of a calculation. This server node and the calculation is on the network. This server doesn't have a cd/DVD drive or USB port. I can't change the hardware or operating system on the primary node.

  I have the software on CD and also the ISO image. I downloaded the ISO image on the head node. The head node and node currenlty under Red hat linux computing.

  I can connect to this server to my PC running Windows 7, and there the cd/dvd drive.

  the qustion is, so how can I install ESX server on the compute node? I've studied a lot of things on google and vmware, but could not find an answer.

  Is there a way to install ESX ISO via NFS or another way? or can I use my Player DVD from PC to install ESX server on the compute node - server via network?

  I will really appreciate it if you can help me on this.  I found a lot of response ESX installation directly thru CD/DVD drive on the same server, but he couldn't help me.

  I would say just imagery to calculate separate server node without cd/dvd or usb drive and how can you install ESX server on this subject?

  Thank you

  Jack.

  Just a thought. Is there a chance to at least temporarily open the box and attach it to a CD/DVD-ROM drive for installation. This would make things much easier. BTW. you mentioned that you have been asked to install this system, but if there is no special need for ESX, I would recommend that you go with ESXi (the 'i' makes the difference) - current version ESXi 4.1 Update 1 - given that ESX not will continue in the future. Also make sure that your system is on the HCL if you plan to use in production.

• vSphere license without vCenter Server Standard

  Hello

  I have ESXi (free licenses) servers. I want to make snapshots regualar usin the CLI to a virtual machine. This is not possible with the free version. Is it possible to buy a vSphere Standard edition license to activate these features, without vCenter Server?

  Thank you.

  The best way to "unlock" the CLI is to get Essentials edition. No need to setup the vCenter server.

• Use Windows authentication integrated into vSphere SSO without joining vCenter in the field?

  Hi all.

  Our freshly installed vCenter 5.5 is not attached to our domain for security reasons (not managed by the same teams).

  VM admins need to connect with their Windows credentials, though, so that, from now on, the source of identity SSO is set to 'Active Directory as an LDAP server'.

  Single sign-on does not work with this configuration, probably because he needs the source of identity must be set to 'Active Directory (Windows integrated authentication)'.

  Is it possible to get pass through authentication works without vCenter join the Windows domain?

  SSO would not work if the machine is not joined to the tourist.

  The machine must be joined to a domain (test or in-house) to work and for SINGLE sign-on to work correctly.

  So you will actually need a traversal spec for ComputeResource.  It also will pick up your hosts in cluster as well.

  You will need to add the following:

  ns1__TraversalSpec ComputeResourceTraversalSpec;
  
  ComputeResourceTraversalSelectionSpec.name = new string("ComputeResourceTraversalSpec");
  
  ComputeResourceTraversalSpec.name = new string("ComputeResourceTraversalSpec");
  ComputeResourceTraversalSpec.type = "ComputeResource";
  ComputeResourceTraversalSpec.path = "host";
  ComputeResourceTraversalSpec.skip = &xsd_true;
  
  FolderTraversalSpec.selectSet.push_back(&ComputeResourceTraversalSelectionSpec);
  
  ObjectSpec.selectSet.push_back(&ComputeResourceTraversalSpec);
  

  That will allow you to cross the file to the folder data center to calculate hostsystem resources.

  I tested it on my end to be sure, and it works.

• How Cluster resources works without DRS?

  Hello

  I have vmware vSphere Essentials license. This type of license have Drs I created a cluster and have two hosts ESX 4.0 in it. I have virtual machines in both. Since I don't have a DRS, so I can't create Pools of resources. I get a flat structure of virtual machines within the cluster. What I was asking is how does the use of the resources within the cluster. The Cluster combines memory, computer resources of CPU and memory in the two hosts, for the execution of virtual machines. Or (without DRS), the cluster behaves like a 'container' without feature?

  Thank you

  YES, its right

• replication of vsphere can work with local disk?

  I have cluster 2 esxi host (2 hp g7 servers) but I have no shared storage and all of my data on the local disk, now I want to know can I are not replicated on one of my machines with vsphere replication without any shared storage?

  My main question: can I use the vsphere without shared storage replication?

  Best regards

  Babak

  Yes. It's one of the advantages of vSphere replication - you can replicate between different types of storage including (non-shared) local data storage.

• With vSphere test/recovery replication all while keeping the main site online.

  Hi guys. niot sure if I'm missing something really obvious.

  From what I can understand tha base "recovery process" in vSphere Replication5.1 implies the following workflow

  However, our profession demands that we test the ability to recover the VMs selected the site of DR then than DO NOT impact main site.

  Is this possible without SRM / table to database replication / replication of VEEAM?

  Our installation program

  VCenter PROD (dedicated VLAN x)

  VR PROD device (including VLAN, dedicated)

  PROD-HA and DRS Cluster

  Guest PROD networking (VLAN z)

  DR VCenter (dedicated Vlan X)

  VR PROD device (including VLAN, dedicated)

  PROD-HA and DRS Cluster

  PROD comments Networking (VLAN, isolated, cannot drive to the main site)

  No RS and no possibility to use the replication table according to preverred, no Budget for VEEAM replciation.

  MUST BE DONE, while the primary site remains fully alive >

  Basic procedure to test recovery to DR and come back if I understand correctly >

  1 tasks replication setup (fact)

  2 access to the web in VCENTER DR > Pause/Stop replication on the virtual machines, we want to retrieve.

  3 web access in VCENTER DR > retrieve DR virtual machines using 'recover with the latest changes' (Show stop as primary/Source VM needs to go down)

  3 assuming that it is a path last step 3, we intend to move guests picked up at DR VLAN, one port groups and reconfigure the Ips using Powershell process mass

  4 active Directory and DNS will be changed to Dr. TEST Site to make usable salvaged customers.

  test to DR on revovered VMs in DR VLan 5 users, so this should be route back or affect the site of PROD.

  6 not recovered VMs to the main site. This required once more primal VMs being to low or EVEN be removed from the inventory!

  Procedure here

  VMware vSphere 5.1

  Looks like so there is no way to use vSphere replication to TEST the abilty to toggle, unless you can share the secrets with me.

  If you are using vSphere replication without SRM above it, recovery Test is not available. The process, you can follow in case you do not want your main Web site:

  (1) perform a recovery using the second option (retrieve by using the latest available data). In this way you will not have to power off of the VMs source and your main site will be online.

  (2) when the recovery is complete, stop the replications (which will be in a State of recovery)

  (3) power off VMs recovered, unsubscribe them inventory of VC, but keep the files of disk intact.

  (4) manually configure all repetitions using disks that have been left in the form of initial seeds. This will cause the changes to synchronize.

  In step 4 of ease, you can use the multi-vm replication configuration wizard vSphere. Just make sure that the data store target each disk that will be used as initial copy is put in the folder with the name of the virtual computer. Then, you could try to configure all virtual machines at once, performing the search of seeds and confirming to use.

• HA 2 node cluster

  Dear all,

  We must give the solution for our customer with a high availability 10VMs. is the main requirement. We cluster vmware design two nodes. recommended cluster with 2 design nodes? Please advice...

  Thank you

  Lasantha.

  I build multiple clusters of 2 knots in the past with no problems. Note that when you perform an upgrade to ESXi you'll turn temporarily without protection for your virtual machines... Because if you do an upgrade this host will probably be in maintenance mode and will not be used as a target for failover. This is why many people are recommended to go with 3 being the minimum. However, two works very well.
