While putting the host in maintenance mode, I'm stuck at 2%

While putting the host in maintenance mode, I'm stuck at 2%

With the message at 2% it get stuck below.

"Waiting for machines virtual to be powered off or migrated. In a DRS cluster, see the page of defects on the tab of the DRS for troubleshooting. "

When you put a host in Maintenance Mode, the virtual machine will be generally migrated to other hosts automatically by the Drs there are reasons why it would not work.

Some of them are:

  • You do not have DRS licensed (only included in Enterprise and Enterprise Plus)
  • DRS is set to manual
  • You have the DRS, but the virtual machine connected local resources (such as the CD-ROM player,...)
  • You have the DRS, but there are no hosts available because of rules configured to affinity/Anti-Affinity
  • Not available on other host resources

In both cases, you will have to solve the issue and migrate virtual machines to other hosts or stop the virtual machines. As soon as he has no more power on virtual machines on the host, it will enter into Maintenance Mode.

  • VMotion after putting the host in maintenance mode

    I would like a way to put a server esx in maintenance mode and let it automatically script vmotion guests to other hosts. It's about default behavior in the GUI, but when I use set-vmhost-maintaining state in the powercli, the host will just wait until all the vm is turned of / of are migrated manually, before going to interview.

    An easy way to achieve this, without loop through all the vm on the host?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Current behavior of the whole-VMHost (in vSphere PowerCLI 4.0) is an error report if it are turned off.

    Game-VMHost myHost-Maintenance State

    Game-VMHost: 15.10.2009?. 17:47:22 set-VMHost BAECC66D-9238-4AA3-829 a-76

    0E195F7DF1 there are one or more powered on virtual machines on the host myHost. The host is in maintenance mode once all virtual machines are turned off.

    On line: 1 char: 11

    ++ Set-VMHost< -vmhost="" myhost ="" -state="">

    However you can use the HostSystem.EnterMaintenanceMode method as a workaround.

    $h = Get-VMHost myHost | Get-View -Property Name
    $task = $h.EnterMaintenanceMode_Task(-1, $true)
    $task | Get-ViObjectByVIView | Wait-Task
    

    Here's what the SDK documentation says on the migration of virtual machines

    Operation not directly initiate evacuation operations or power off virtual machines. However, if the host is part of an active cluster with VMware DRS, DRS provides recommendations for migration to evacuate VMS under tension. If the DRS is in fully automatic mode, they are automatically on demand. If the host is part of a cluster and the task is published by VirtualCenter with evacuatePoweredOffVms set to true, the task will not succeed unless all the virtual computers turned off are reregistered to other hosts. If VMware DRS is enabled, VC will evacuate VMS power off automatically. The task is cancelable.

    Kind regards

  • The host in maintenance mode

    Is there a way to determine who put the hosts in maintenance mode and when (if there is no tasks/events in VC) VC, D/B.

    Something similar in the context of "that erased my VM.

    THX,

    Lalit

    Of course, look for the EnteredMaintenanceModeEvent event.

    Something like that

    Get-VIEvent -Entity (Get-VMHost ) -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7 ) | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "EnteredMaintenanceModeEvent"} |Select @{N="Host";E={$_.Host.Name}},CreatedTime,UserName
    

    This will search for all hosts in the last 7 days.

  • Put a host in maintenance - it will automatically move virtual machines?

    Dear all,

    We have a cluster with 4 guests and we would now like to upgrade each 5.50 to 6.0 ESXi ESXi host. I understand that we need to put the host in maintenance mode. He will automatically move virtual machines to other hosts? I read DRS is necessary. I see that our guests are permitted for Vmotion and HA. We have standard Vsphere license.

    This means in our case, I would need to move manually first of all VMs before the host can go into maintenance mode? In the case where the Vsphere will make work, the virtual machines automatically distributing to 3 other hosts according to the resources available?

    Thank you

    Edy

    This means in our case, I would need to move manually first of all VMs before the host can go into maintenance mode?

    Yes, since the Standard edition doesn't include DRS, you must manually move virtual machines to other hosts.

    In the case where the Vsphere will make work, the virtual machines automatically distributing to 3 other hosts according to the resources available?

    Yes, this would be the case with the DRS in place.

  • VMotion fails for a few VM when host in maintenance mode

    When I was performing updates ESX host today, after putting one of my hosts in maintenance mode, I have noticed after a few minutes my migration had ceased.  In one case he required a restart of the virtual machine, in another case, I found that one of the virtual machine is always connected to the host CD ROM

    My concern is that it appeared that, once one or VM have been unable to vmotion, all subsequent vmotions have ceased. Is this normal?  Is there a document that identifies conditions that will prevent the Vmotions?

    Do a manual VMotion on those virtual machines to see the error.

    Generally can be a simple a local CD or ISO local...

  • need to get the time host was put in the annotation and maintenance mode

    Hi - it is possible to get the time that a host has been in maintenance mode and also seize any annotation is attached to the ESX host in VC?

    Thank you

    Also, by using "get-vmhost" twice is redundant since you have channeled from get-vmhost: "E = { get-vmhost $_ |}". Get-vievent ".

    However, your order will be to return the entire event object and look like:

    Name                                    Event

    ----                                    -----

    host {VMware.Vim.EnteredMaintenanceModeEv...

    You can try below instead:

    Get-VMHost |? {$_. ConnectionState-match 'Maintenance'} | Select Name, @{N = 'Time put in MaintMode'; E={($_ | Get-VIEvent |? {$_. FullFormattedMessage-like"* entered maintenance mode *"} (). " Createduserid}}

    But it can still recover multiple events, so a way to get only the last event and time is below:

    Get-VMHost |? {$_. ConnectionState-match 'Maintenance'} | Select Name, @{N = 'Time put in MaintMode'; E={($_ | Get-VIEvent |? {$_. {"FullFormattedMessage-like" * entered maintenance mode * "} | toplayer-last 1). Createduserid}}

  • How to put the form into insert mode without clicking a button insert new record

    Hi all

    I use apex 4.2 on windows, internet Explorer 10 on oracle 11g R2, all 64 bits.

    I'm creating mobile applications.

    I have a list page, I put the links on this page.

    one of the links is a form of opening and passing some values that form.

    the form I open with custome plsql trigger to generate the primary key.

    I do not include an Insert button in the form, I call you, I want to just the user to type something in the column remarks of the newly opened form.

    and when the user clicks the Save button, the folder must be inserted as a new record in the table of underscore.

    now, the pk is not because I do not press on the Insert button, since I do not include the Insert button.

    now when I navigate my list Page by clicking on the point list and in the newly open shape, I enter some data in the Notes field and click on the button, save

    It is not saving the table or give any error?

    How to solve this problem?

    Kind regards.

    Mahjoor,

    If your form is wizard generated then

    Change your suite save button and put

    and confirm that regardless of the Page item Insert Source values contains more

    If you manually insert values shaped then write a Page process to insert this page elements values in the table

    during the click on the button Save.

    I hope this helps you.

    Leave.

  • Period of the network while putting the image (PDF file)

    Hello

    I use following code to place texts and PDF text files unique chassis.

    If the PDF file is located in the local folder then file works perfectly as desired, if the PDF path is a network path, then overlap going on.

    I insert the text and pdf in this sequence.

    Place the PDF

    place Text1,

    place Text2,

    place Text3,

    Place the PDF

    place Text1,

    place Text2,

    place Text3,

    Place the PDF

    place Text1,

    place Text2,

    place Text3,

    Place the PDF

    place Text1,

    place Text2,

    place Text3,

    .

    .

    .

    .

    and so on.

    When the insertion of 3rd, 4th, the overlap is happen.

    real order after you have placed all the texts and the PDF is like that

    Place the PDF

    place Text1,

    place Text2,

    place Text3,

    Place the PDF

    place Text1,

    Place the PDF

    place Text3,

    place Text1,

    place Text2,

    Place the PDF

    place Text3,

    ...

    is it possible, to tell the system to wait(sleep will result in more delay) until we put the content and then move to the next text content.

    or

    is it possible to load the PDF for the links and then place the PDF from the link?

    example code:

    var tframe = app.documents[0].pages[0].textFrames.add ();
    tframe.geometricBounds = [0,0,"150mm","150mm"];
    var myfile= "C:\\Karthik\\Ellipse.pdf";
    
    //inline.anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.aboveLine;
    for(i=0;i<10;i++)
    {
    // some network path
    myfile= "\\xyz server\\Ellipse.pdf";
                    if (i==0)
                    {
                                    var inline =tframe.insertionPoints[0].place (myfile)[0].parent;
    
                                    }
                    else
                    tframe.insertionPoints[-1].place (myfile)[0].parent;
                    tframe.insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\rSample text\rMore sample text\r";
    
    
    }
    
    

    is it possible, to tell the system to wait (sleep will cause further delay) until we put the content and then move to the next text content.

    or

    is it possible to load the PDF for the links and then place the PDF from the link?

    example code:

    You can make the system sleep by calling $. sleep() like this:

    $.sleep(milliseconds)
    

    I doubt that this will solve your problem, however, because the commands run in the order that program you.

    The content can be moved because your textframe overflows. Try the history instead targeting when you place.

    tframe.parentStory.insertionPoints[-1].place(myfile)
    

    Does make a difference?
