vCenter 6.7 Backup not working when IPv6 enabled

$

0

Hello,

 

i just upgraded my test environment to vCenter 6.7 and tested the new Backup Task, but it don't work.

 

In /var/log/vmware/applmgmt/backup.log i found:

 

ERROR: BackupManager encountered an exception: While reading from '/etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network' [line  7]: option 'gateway' in section 'Network' already exists

 

And the file looks like that:

 

root@srv10 [ /var/log/vmware/applmgmt ]# cat /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network

 

[Match]

Name=eth0

 

[Network]

Gateway=2a02:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::250

Gateway=192.168.99.1

Address=2a02:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::20/64

Address=192.168.99.20/24

IPv6AcceptRouterAdvertisements=false

DHCP=no

 

[DHCP]

UseDNS=false

 

It must be a bug in the backup function...

 

Kind regards

Stefan

Hi VMwarers,

 

as much as I know that VCSA 6.7 U1 comes with enhanced features with VMtools that it stores it in a single place is that correct?

also while browing for the UserVars.ProductLockerLocation i can't find it neither following it's location absolute path nor relative tried to search also didn't get anything.

6.7 U2 enhanced auditing features "missing"- What did I miss?

$

0

Good afternoon!

 

Per this article https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2019/04/enhanced-vcenter-server-audit-event-logging-in-vsphere-6-7-update-2.html , it appears that the vCenter events should be tracking info to include source IPs as part of login entries.  My vCenter is running VCSA 6.7U2b (upgraded from from 6.0 to 6.5, etc. over time) but all I see for a successful login is "User domain\username@127.0.0.1 logged in as h5-client/6.5.0".

 

I have increased overall logging from info to verbose and it still hasn't helped.  Looking at the advanced configuration settings, I see "verbose" for all the various logger.xxx options.

 

It's almost like some kind of auditing flag/setting is still stuck in a pre-6.7U2 state but I'm not sure where to look.  What did I miss?

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions you may have!

Hi,

 

During Phase 2 Pre-upgrade check result I got a few warnings regarding vRops and VDP extensions.

 

"the vCenter Server has extensions registered that cannot be upgraded to or may not work with the new vCenter Server"

 

I will not use these products after the upgrade so not sure if I should take any actions (un-register/shut down respective VM's) or just ignore and proceed with the upgrade?

 

Thanks

vCenter Server 6.5 vcsa-ui-installer/win32/installer.exe fails - incomaptible windows version

$

Hi,

 

I am trying to migrate vCenter Server App 5.5 (VM) to 6.5.

First I mounted the ISO image (VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-9451637.iso) and called the installer.exe file. This failed with comment that the file is not compatible with windows version (my workstation still runs Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit).

I extracted ISO file to a directory on C: drive and tried again. Same result.

 

Any idea what causes this and how to overcome this sitution?

 

Any other installation method (other than running the installer.exe) recommended?

 

Regards,

Egon
