I'm not sure why write/read via that file?
And I don't think you need a switch-block.
Try something like this

 

$v=Get-TagCategory-Name Backups |Get-Tag

$menu=for($i=0;$i-lt$v.Count;$i+=2)

{

   $obj=[ordered]@{

   Odd="$($i+1). $($v[$i].Name)"

   }

   if($v[$i+1])

   {

   $obj.Add('Even',"$($i+2). $($v[$i+1].Name)")

   }

   New-Object PSObject -Property $obj

}

$menu|Format-Table-HideTableHeaders

$choice=Read-Host-Prompt "Select tag (1..$($v.Count))"


Get-VM-Tag $v[$choice-1].Name

Thank you for looking into this.

 

Following is the info when I login to a baremetal server that is in the same subnet as the underlay VLAN 11.

From a web vm on the overlay network, I'm unable to ping 10.4.11.101 (a sample host on the underlay network). Few other things about my environment

  1. The ESXi host on which the edge vms are running, is not NSX-T configured
  2. The ESXi edge VM's eth0 and fp-eth0 are both connected to a single VSS on ESXi that is configured to send untagged traffic out to ToR through the single vmnic0 on the ESXi host. So eth0 and fp-eth0 have IP addresses 10.4.11.151 and 10.4.11.152 respectively.  The remaining edge VM interfaces fp-eth1 and fp-eth2 are disconnected and the uplink profile I used for edge VM has a single uplink that is mapped to fp-eth0
  3. On tier-0 router, when I added an uplink (which was not possible from GUI btw - I had to hack the HTML to un-disable the Type dropdown ), I added a subnet (a bad name imho for an IP address) - 10.4.11.153/24. Strangely even this IP 10.4.11.153 is not ping-able from anywhere..

 

Thank you for your help again. I'll also try to use tcpdump etc on the ToR to see what's going on..

 

Thanks Rags

Re: Fusion .vmdk file over 300GB

It's actually a matter of consolidating the snapshots, as already mentioned by Wil.

What you may try - after backing up the files - is to follow Option 2, or 3 from https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1020000. Option 3 has the advantage, that a new .vmdk file will be created, i.e. the current .vmdk files won't get modified.

One thing to point out, is that the virtual disk's provisioned size is ~1.8TB. Do you really need this, or is it simply the result of the conversion from the "real" Boot Camp machine?

If you don't want/need that size, it might be worth using the vSphere Converter, and reduce the provisioned size.

 

If you are unsure about the commands in Option 3, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanx, that did it and I was able to reset the root PW. When I got back into the console, two of the three vCenters are now showing green.  I'm going to update the appliance and see what happens.

Build 7400497 is the GA release of 7.4.0. We were delivered build 821556 to resolve that issue. You could contact support and request the hot patch to stay on 7.4 until you are ready for 7.8.

 

There was no consistency to when we would see the issue. I had initially reported the issue to support and worked with them to get the hot patch.

Certificates with Horizon are well documented and straightforward. It can get complex when you introduce Unified Access Gateways (UAG)/Security Servers and load balancer depending on where the SSL termination is taking place. Can you start a new discussion with the details of your environment and we can assist.

Can you tell us more about your environment? Newer versions have improved the DPI/Display scaling. I've also had better luck fixing the resolution on a tablet/phone (e.g. 1920x1080) to avoid the scaling.

I would recommend opening an SR while you still have access to support for 6.x to get their insight.

 

What is the hold up on upgrading to 7.x? That can typically be accomplished within just a few hours.

I know there are some known issue with Global Entitlements after upgrading to 7.8.0. Are you possibly using a read-only admin account?

 

Release Notes for VMware Horizon 7 version 7.8

Users that have the Administrators (Read Only) role cannot see View Configuration > Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon Administrator or Settings > Cloud Pod Architecture in Horizon Console.

Workaround: None.

 

From the Horizon Console you can manage Global Entitlements.

You can also try using lmvutil.

Can confirm that having a 2.14.2 Agent and adding the *msiexec.exe||* into the HookInjectionWhitelist key and installing the latest Cumulative updates does seem to work fine together. Going to keep testing to make sure though.

Re: Logs VRA 7.4.0

I know this post is is a year old now, but was there ever a definitive resolution to this? I have both vRA manager servers in the NSX L\B pool enabled, I configured automatic failover in the vRA appliance, and I see in the VAMI that the 1st manager server is showing active, and the 2nd manager server is passive. If I take the active server down, the 2nd server never goes active and I start to see the error in the logs. Additional from the error described here, if I check the Windows security event logs I see audit failures that state that Windows Filtering Platform denied the connection, and in the vRA VAMI certificate page "SSL routines: ssl23_write:ssl handshake failure: s23_lib.c:177:"

so no support for v14, which I bought last year (AFTER windows 10 was released).

This is rubbish.

VCSA 6.7 U2 - New Backup Over SMB

$

Cool backup vCenter to SMB share now in 6.7 U2!

 

I can't get it to work! Not sure what I am missing.

 

The helpful 'example' in the path shows:

protocol://server-address<:port-number>/folder/subfolder

 

Share I want to backup to is a Windows 2012 R2 share.

 

Port? I thought it would be 445.

 

My example:

SMB://10.1.1.1:445/hiddenshare$/subfolder

 

I enter my domain account that has full control on share and NTFS.

 

I get a "SMB location is invalid" error.

 

Where am I going wrong? VMware doc doesn't give examples.

 

Thanks!

Good case:

only one name-cbt.vmdk is damaged.
Disable cbt-block-tracking for that VM.
Stop backup-jobs for that VM.
Delete job.
Delete all cbt.vmdk of that VM.

Start VM again.
Create new job and create a full backup on first run.
Worst case:
this is just a symptom of a serious corruption of your datastore.

But you would have noticed that ....

Has anyone had issues with the VCSA backups using SMB not following the retention setting? I usually set it for 2 but they just keep being added and the older ones not being deleted.

Re: ESXi 6.5 - vSphere Distributed Switch VLAN Trunked and MTU Supported Status warnings

$

Hi.  I'm still working on this since I haven't touched it in a while.  I still have the critical alerts since I wanted to get to the bottom of this before acknowledging them.  Traffic seems to be working fine, despite the alerts persisting.

 

There are 2 physical switches going to the vDS:  HP ProCurve --> Flex-10 pair switch --> vDS

 

The ProCurve pair is trunking 3 Vlans to the Flex-10s:

2 ports in a trunk (x2, 4 total, 2 per switch)

Vlan 100 Untagged

Vlan 200 Tagged

Lan 300 Tagged

 

The Flex-10s configuration shows the same:

6 nics per host x 5 hosts (30 uplinks to vDS)

Vlan 100 (Native)

Vlan 200

Vlan 300

 

vDS:

dvUplink Group 1 (6 links x 5 hosts = 30 total)

Port Group A (Vlan ID = 0)

Port Group B (Vlan ID = 0)

Port Group C (Vlan ID = 0)

 

These links from the Flex-10s are all trunked to a single dvUplink group on the vDS, and then there are a few vDistributed Port Groups and each of those have no Vlan ID assigned, as mentioned (so, Vlan ID = 0)

 

For some reason, all 5 of the hosts appear to be configured the same but only one of them now shows no critical alerts.  I don't recall acknowledging the alerts.

 

I'm thinking of testing out just assigning the matching Vlan IDs to the Port Groups as recommended, but I'd like more info before I break something.

 

I read at the link below that if tagging is done on the physical switch, the Port Groups' Vlan ID on the Virtual Switch should be zero, but I'm not sure if this applies here or if they mean in a situation where the vDS is connecting to an ACCESS port in a Vlan on the physical switch, or something else.  Any clarification or additional help would be great, based on the detail I've added.  Thanks.
