3. Iam also able to login with ssh from my client into the server - here the server you are referring is ubuntu machine ,is that correct ?


Re: Mount problem - file instead of folder

If you want predictable results use mount -t cifs instead of mount -t fuse-vmhgfs-fuse.

vmware shared folders  have allways been buggy and I dont expect that this will ever change.

"The operation on file "..vmdk" failed." is more likely related to a host issue. I'm not a MAC user, but I think MacOS contains a utility to check the disk drive for hardware, and/or logical errors.

Unable to open file ".../Boot Camp.vmwarevm/Boot Camp.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified

If you have a BOOTCAMP volume and you randomly get Unable to open file ".../Boot Camp.vmwarevm/Boot Camp.vmdk" errors when launching VMWare Fusion it could be because the disk volume has changed upon boot. You cannot be guaranteed that the disk assigned to your BOOTCAMP volume is the same each boot. For me it will randomly change between disk0 and disk1.

 

So I wrote a little script to run at startup that will change the disk to the correct one.

 

The script assumes your BOOTCAMP volume is named BOOTCAMP. Also replace YOUR_USERNAME with your user name.

 

Create a script called vmware_fix.sh:

#!/bin/bash
FILE_VMDK="/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/Boot Camp.vmwarevm/Boot Camp.vmdk"
DRIVE_NEW=$(diskutil list | awk '/BOOTCAMP/{print $NF}' | cut -c 1-5)
if grep -q disk0 "$FILE_VMDK"; then  DRIVE_OLD=disk0
fi
if grep -q disk1 "$FILE_VMDK"; then  DRIVE_OLD=disk1
fi
sed -i.bak "s/$DRIVE_OLD/$DRIVE_NEW/g" "$FILE_VMDK"

Make sure you change the FILE_VMDK value to be the full path to your Boot Camp vmdk file.

 

Set the script to executable:

chmod +x ./vmware_fix.sh

 

Copy the file to /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Applications/

 

Create a file called com.vmware.Fix.plist and paste the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0">  <dict>    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>    <dict>      <key>PATH</key>      <string>/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:</string>    </dict>    <key>Label</key>    <string>com.startup</string>    <key>Program</key>    <string>/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Applications/vmware_fix.sh</string>    <key>RunAtLoad</key>    <true/>    <key>KeepAlive</key>    <false/>    <key>LaunchOnlyOnce</key>            <true/>    <key>StandardOutPath</key>    <string>/tmp/startup.stdout</string>    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>    <string>/tmp/startup.stderr</string>    <key>UserName</key>    <string>admin</string>    <key>GroupName</key>    <string>admin</string>    <key>InitGroups</key>    <true/>  </dict></plist>

 

Copy com.vmware.Fix.plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons and run the following commands:

sudo chown root /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.Fix.plist
sudo chgrp wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.Fix.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.Fix.plist

 

Hope this helps anyone else in a similar situation.

Hi guys,

 

I have the same issue as you on SR650 host

 

Have 4 of them all running the same FW versions on all devices and all of them have M.2 mirror KIT installed.

 

3 of them run with all health status green OK and one has that BIOS1 No Boot device  issue

 

What was your solution for that as i have all FW version running on the same revision. was there a specific solution to your problem?

 

Thx for the reply

Yes its possible for sure!

 

I have a couble of customers which have Hosts with local storage managed by a vSphere Essentials VCSA which runs on a different Cluster or Hosts and this hosts runs free vSphere Hypervisor. Keep in mind than backup of this VM than is not possible!

WSFC/MSCS CAB Limits w/SRM 8.1

The VMware SRM 8.1 Guide indicates "You can spread the MSCS cluster across a maximum of five ESXi Server instances".

 

Couple questions:

1. WSFC/MSCS for 2012 (minimally) supports "64" nodes per cluster, but vSphere only supports "5" WSFC/MSCS nodes per cluster?

 

2. Assumption is for a 5-node WSFC/MSCS cluster running within a 10-node ESXi cluster, that any WSFC/MSCS node can run on any of the 10 ESXi nodes, just not simultaneously (e.g. anti-affinity rules must be in place).

How do I replace citrix with horizon? I am already running horizon view but not all users are on horizon view. what is horizon apps?

 

does that leverage MS terminal server and does the user have to be on horizon view before they can launch apps?

Hello jmoore071,

 

 

Welcome to Communities and vSAN.

 

"All my vSAN pre-checks are validated however I cant pass the VM creation test."

Have you added Disk-Groups? Cluster > Manage > vSAN > Disk Management

Are they in CMMDS/VSI? Cluster > Monitor > vSAN > Health >

All nodes are out of Maintenance Mode? (note it is possible to be out of vSphere MM but in vSAN MM - validate via CLI with #esxcli vsan cluster get # cmmds-tool find -t NODE_DECOM_STATE)

What is the error message given for failure of Objects? If it is something like 'require 3 Fault Domains for component placement but found 0' then either cluster isn't formed, is partitioned, nodes are in MM or there is no usable space in some/all Fault Domains (nodes here).

 

 

Bob

Thanks for the reply, to answer your questions:

 

Health checks are all OK -

Disk groups are added, and the vSAN volume has capacity.

I have rebooted all hosts twice now so MM isn't an issue.  (found the KB on this one)

It appears just read only - very strange

 

thanks

So I start getting calls at 9:30pm about Nurses and Physicians having problems "logging in VDI".  

This is the screenshot provided, and it's the same as the other 30 tickets...all high priority (of course).

Flex Hang.jpg

 

If you assumed the UNC patch for the UEM FLEX config/Profiles was acting up...bingo.  That's what I thought.

SAN Team member joins and says the Isilon is GREEN.  All Good.

 

Open ticket with VMware Support.

VMware Support engineer see an entry in the local VM's EventLog saying the 'GPAGENT' process is taking a long time.

" You've got a Group Policy Issue...call Microsoft".  (see where this is going)

 

Microsoft engaged.   30 hours later I'm not having a good day.

The Problem ended up being one or two of the Isilon nodes being saturated and causing a 0:01 second process to take 2:11 seconds.

Check but verify.  I wrote a script to cycle thru the 38 Isilon nodes, performing a robocopy task from each.  Nice performance statistics.

Shared Storage = BAD.    Say it with me.

 

If anyone knows of a better way to host a clustered or better an OVA for a highly resilient NAS SMB share for UEM...please share with me.  I do not want to move this to a Windows DFS environment...I know better than to subject myself and others that that.  VMware is creating a new virtual SMB share for VSan later this summer...but that fresh out of beta.

Yes , but once license expired you can not manage esxi host.
