vStorage API available with ESX 3.0.2?

Similar Questions

• VSphere APIs and compatibility ESX

  I've implemented the backup of a VMWare VM and application of recovery with vSphere API and VDDK. The development has been done entirely on 5.0 ESX servers. The following discussion provides an overview of how I implemented the restoration.

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/2130483#2130483

  When another person has tested my application, he noted the rollback feature does not work. When I've debugged, I found parameter spec unit to CreateVM_Task behaves differently 5.0 Esx to Esx 4.0. In the case of Esx 5.0, it works perfectly, where as in the case of Esx 4.0, none of the devices that I fill before the CreateVM_Task is created and the restore fails because of this.

  How can I understand the compatibility of the Esx and the vSphereAPI versions? I assumed that the SDK should be retro-compatible with Esx Server? Can someone shed some light how this problem can be solved?

  Thank you

  Hi Siva,

  That sounds good, maybe, we'll get you going even faster than I expected:

  but in general, the more recent editions of vSphere will support previous editions of vSphere. vSphere 5.1 supports vSphere 4.x and 5.0

  the only thing being that if new properties are added to a data in 5.1 object then you can not use in 4.x or 5.0.

  It seems to me that your code is based on 5.0 WSDL generated by gsoap stubs. It is ultimately you generate SOAP requests that are supposed to work with 5.0, 5.1, 6.x one as well now. Yet, when he delivers the SOAP messages to 4.x, it is likely that you include a property that is not defined in the WSDL of 4.x.

  Attached is a diff of the definition WSDL VirtualMachineConfigSpec of 4.0 to 5.0 Quick. Look at line 27 and following

  
  27              
  ====
        !>      
  ====
  28              
  

  Here, you can see that numCoresPerSocket property was not available in 4.0, but was added in 5.0. It is also what we said the documentation centre: for vSphere API 5.0.

  You declare that numCPUs is affected but memoryMB not. Between the two numCoresPerSocket has been inserted to 5.0. It seems that the 4.0 Server reads your VirtualMachineConfigSpec until numCPUs then encounter numCoresPerSocket and abandoned.

  So far my theory.

  What I don't understand is that this seems to happen in silence as you don't declare any exception. Yet, says William

  wlam wrote:
  As you know, there will be new properties in new versions of vSphere such as 5.1, that if you try to assign to an older version of vSphere, it will throw an unknown error...

  As you can learn from the attached diff we serveral more properties that have been added to the 5.0. Might well want to comment on all those in your current code and re-run CreateVM_Task against server 4.0.

  Perhaps this might solve the problem.

• Are vStorage API for the Protection data supported on ESXi?

  Hello - we are just turning on our production environment, and my supervisor found a rather disturbing comment on one of the VMware pages: "the vStorage API for Data Protection are the next generation of VMware Consolidated Backup and are provided with all editions of VMware vSphere except ESXi. »

  We are currently using ESXi in our test lab and that you plan to use it in production, but it would be a major problem. I hope it comes to the free version of ESXi, but I can't find a definitive answer.  Incidentally, we either have a business and license.

  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Pat

  http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere/buy/editions_comparison.html

  You can see this vStorage API is included for all editions and all editions supporth both ESX and ESXi.

• How to use the vStorage API?

  Hi all

  I heard that vStorage is a feature of vSphere 4.0 that can take backup of the virtual machine directly without using a Proxy VCB.

  Does someone know how to use it? as far as I know only commercial 3rd party backup software can use it, do not use any script solution or freeware.

  Kind regards

  AWT

  I've heard both sides of the story (even from VMware peeps)

  (1) vStorage API is today essentially vSphere API + VDDK (e.g. change block tracking feature is in the new vSphere API, accessible using the SDK)

  (2) vStorage API is reserved for VMware partners to develop 3rd party applications (not 100% sure on this subject, but I know that some people have said this)

  Probably best to contact your VMware representative if you have any questions or interest in development on the vStorage API (probably why there not a forum on the vStorage API developers forum)

• Disc stuck in reduced-availability-with-no-reconstruction

  Since a VSAN Monday accident, I had problems to find a virtual disk in compliance.

  I have a case of open pension but support is not admissible, so I hope that someone here had the same thing and can offer some info.

  The VSAN health tool shows the disk state reduced the availability with no refurbishment

  Best I can say all problems have been resolved, but components will not a resynchronization, even if by clicking on the button "fix things immediately. There is no errors or warnings in the cluster other than this drive.

  Aid has this to say about the State.

  Reduced availability with no refurbishment : The object failed, but VSAN was able to tolerate. For example: I/O runs and the object is accessible. However, VSAN does not re-protection of the object. This is not because of the timer (timer period of reduced availability - no reconstruction) - but for other reasons. This could be because there are not enough resources in the cluster, or maybe it's because there was not enough resources in the past, or there was a failure to protect back into the past and VSAN has yet attempted. See the limits for an initial assessment health check if all resources can be exhausted. You must resolve the failure or add resources as quickly as possible in order to return to be fully protected against a subsequent failure.

  Here is the output of the command "vsan.vm_object_info 7".

  The virtual machine has multiple disks, but it's the only one who has this problem.

  It would be good if VSAN just deleted those OUTDATED and created new ones.

  Cormac blog post explains a bit at the end, except that my system does not have a resynchronization.

  Hello, you mentioned you tried "Repair of the items immediately", have you tried re - apply storage strategy?  Or maybe make a new one with slightly different settings (bandwidth = 2) and then apply?  My other thought would be storage motion it to another... and then storage proposal it back to vSAN.

  Side note, forget you the support is not not admissible.  It is also something that I noticed, when I called support, I often get out "the guy who knows vSAN is not available, it will remind you.  Really?  "They guys."  Either way, it seems lack of resources of support for VSANs.

  Thank you, Zach.

• License vStorage API

  Hi all

  Poster for the first time, so be gentle!

  I have ESXi 4.1 installed on a test server, to test the restorations of real environment.

  We use Backup Exec 2010 (having recently updated Backup Exec 12.5)

  With 12.5 being VCB, I was able to import the VM using VMWare Converter or BE restored.

  With 2010 using the vStorage API, I am unable to restore a computer from Backup Exec virtual using the redirect to my box of Test ESXi.

  The error relates to not be able to create the virtual machine (if I create the virtual computer, he then complains about not being able to change the power state)

  I have followed the issue up to the free license, if I leave it on the eval license I can restore OK.

  What is the best way to allow access to the preference vStorage API without having to buy a full license?

  Thank you very much

  Andy

  The API is only read the free license. I don't know any other way apart from the upgrade to a paid version.

• Cluster with ESX 3 and HA

  If I have a Cluster with ESX 3 and if one of them, I want to know the process of HA, on which ESX my VM would be transferred.

  We do not have DRS

  I'm looking in config HA, and I don't see the configuration option.

  Thank you

  .. My VM would be transferred on which ESX?

  On others, depending on the resources available to them.

  All I know is there nothing HA settings, where you can specify this. You could set up - which IMO would not have made much sense - the affinity of host for each virtual computer work only on two hosts. You could also spend a host as a failover host.

  I suggest that read you http://www.yellow-bricks.com/vmware-high-availability-deepdiv/ for more information on HA.

• vStorage API Powercli backup?

  Hello

  We use a powershell script on our VCB proxy to save our VMs. basically the PS script queries the vCenter for VMS save a then it is simply a wrapper for running the command vcbmounter on the proxy vcb with the appropriate settings.

  Given the VCB support will be removed from the next version of vSphere, I wonder if it will be possible to use the vStorage API for backup and restoration of the PowerCLI. I couldn't find any cmdlets corresponding to do this. It will be this possible or is it planned to integrate these functions into a next PowerCLI version?

  Best regards

  Jan

  It is not the cmdlets for vStorage (yet?).

  I'm in the same boat as you, and I hope that it will soon of cmdlets.

  You can try the fixitchris.net wrapper, see VDDK 1.0 Managed Wrapper.

  But the packaging is not for the latest VMware virtual disk Development Kit.

• Error message: not available with this Apple ID update

  App Store displays the available updates, but after choosing "Update", the error message starts "Update not available with this Apple ID" appears. All of the applications in question were purchased with the current Apple ID.

  Mac Pro (2008), 10.11.4

  Please test after each of the steps that you have not already tried it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Remember, no one here is Apple or can help in problems of service the customer.

  Step 1

  If you have recently changed something in your Apple ID account (for example, the password), log out of the App Store and reconnect.

  Step 2

  A purchased app can only be updated by logging into the App Store with the same identifier Apple which was originally used to buy it. There is no way around this restriction, which applies also to the free applications. If you can not connect to help ID the buyer, remove the app and reinstall it. You will have to pay for it, once again, as appropriate.

  Step 3

  If you receive the alert when you try to update a grouped iLife application, select the shopping page in the App Store and find the application in your purchase history. If there is a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click on it.

  If you have a used Mac, bundled apps related to Apple ID of the original owner and may apply to you. Reportedly, customer service has published codes redemption to some owners of second who asked, but it is not guaranteed.

  Step 4

  If you try to update the iLife or iWork applications that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac purchased directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. If necessary, you will be asked for the part number of the DVD.

  Step 5

  In the App Store menu bar, select

  I bought my MacBook Pro 8 months ago.  Today, I get an error that I can not update my iPhoto in the App Store.  It says "update not available with this Apple ID.  This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or the item has been refunded or cancelled. "I read a lot of FAQ online, but none of them say that they had this error with iPhoto, which is an application that I have not purchased (so I can uninstall it and reinstall it as suggested).  Y at - it an easy fix?  I tried to reach out to the Geek Squad, but which is not helping either.   Thank you.

  If you are not the original owner of the MBP you must erase the SSD drive and reinstall the os x which then attaches your ID for the MBP.

  You can do this by starting the MBP in the restoration of the Internet by using the OPTION, COMMAND + R keys.  The result will be a presentation with a rotating globe:

  

  This will connect you to the Apple servers.  Following the directions, you get this menu:

  

  First use disk utility to erase the SSD drive.

  Then click "Reinstall Mac OS x"

• Update are not available with this identifier Apple - iPhoto

  Hello

  I bought a MacBook Pro 13 "and for awhile, I had problems with the update of the application iPhoto. I used to have the "Update not available with this Apple ID" problem with updated Garageband and Pages too, but it somehow sorted on itself and someday update just worked. But I've had this problem with iPhoto for a long time now and I can't update. I tried to put it in the trash as someone advised him in another thread with the same problem and then I tried to get the app on the AppStore but I can't even find it. There is simply no app iPhoto for me. Someone had a similar problem?

  Any advice would be appreciated, thank you very much in advance!

  and then I tried to get the app on the AppStore but I can't even find it. There is simply no app iPhoto for me. Someone had a similar problem?

  Apple has stopped the development of iPhoto, and it is no longer marketed in the AppStore. The only way to update is by reinstalling, if iPhoto is listed in your purchase history - tab in the App Store purchases.

  Purchased from iPhoto on the App Store? Or accept for your AppleID if you bought a Mac with Mac OS X Lion or newer, which came without DVD Installer?

  If iPhoto does not appear in your purchase history, you cannot update now longer.  This could be the case, if you have installed iPhoto to an iLife DVD Installer, or it came with an earlier version of Mac OS X on the DVD Installer.

• "communication not available with the printer" message when you try to print to a Lexmark 1270 x all-in-one

  I am running windows xp family.  I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I get this message when I try and print to my lexmark x 1270 "communication not available with the printer. I tried every troubleshooter, I contacted Lexmark support that they gave up, saying: it must be a file is missing from the windows registry, you can help me?

  It seems that if you say that the pilots were not reinstalled successfully.  What was the mystery file that could not be found?

  Do you remember how the software has been uninstalled?  Was something else than the control panel > Add / Remove Programs (or the link "Uninstall" from start > all programs) used?

  If you do not really clean things, attempts to reinstall the printer drivers may actually just end up putting the old drivers back in place.

  This is the easiest way to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers: Article 1.  The critical step is #4.

  This page has more detailed advice for cleaning things out before you reinstall: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

  I asked the firewall and antivirus applications because sometimes, some security software may interfere with the printers.  This shouldn't be a problem with the firewall of Windows XP and Microsoft Security Essentials.

  Finally, your problem could end up being hardware related.  Lexmark support has no hardware troubleshooting operation?  The manual for your x 1270 says:

  All-in-One is not communicating with the computer

  1. disconnect and reconnect both ends of the USB cable. For more help, see the
  installation documentation.
  2 unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, plug it in again, and
  Press Power. For more information, refer to the installation documentation.
  3 restart the computer. If the problem continues, remove and then reinstall
  the software. For more information, see page 16. [which ask you to remove the software using the link "Uninstall" - which is not complete, as described above]

  If you have another type of printer USB cable, you should try it exchanges.  Ideally, you need to connect to the printer on another computer, but maybe it's not convenient for you.
