Hi,

Configure a new system with 2 hosts running VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5969303

Now I suddenly get this error message on one of the hosts

Registration/unregistration of third-party IO filter storage providers fails on a host

Not sure what impact this have on the system....

I have tried to reboot the ESXi host, same problem. There are no distributed switches. No vsan.

I believe Port 9080 is open since it has been working, but I will double check tomorrow.

I see some have had success with the following, will try this tomorrow

1) enter maintenance mode

2) move esxi from cluster to datacenter

3) disconnect esxi

4) remove esxi from inventory

5) add esxi host do datacenter

6) move esxi to cluster.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for reply.

Hi all.

I have a strange problem. In my vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 triggered alarm does not clear when the monitored value is no longer above the threshold for the alarm.

It's all have standart settings, i didn't change nothing on it. For example-> when i reboot esxi host, alarm "Host connection and power state" & "Host not responding" triggered from green to red. But when host back in infrastructure nothing happens.

Where to look?!

I am wondering how to change the max Disksize of a grow able Disk. I made the major mistake to specify

200 GB Drive size for my VM and now when i clone it it will create a clone with same size. I searched and

followed the instruction of resizing the OS and then shrink the HD which is now around 17GB. But i cant find

a way to change the Max Size. Hope someone can point me in right direction

Thanks

1. User attempts to authenticate to SSO
2. STS service generates a token and signs it with its certificate
3. STS then communicates with the identity management service to verify the user in AD or wherever?
4. STS or identity management hand over the token to the user?
5. User presents token to the VMware software

Is there a concise explanation of how this works someplace, maybe with a few pictures?

I need to perform the online migration (with no downtime) for the existing VMware VCenter running on Physical box to the latest VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.5.0.14000

Here's my current physical VCenter server specs:

vCenter Server 6.0 Update 1b [build 3339083]

SQL Server 2008 Enterprise SP3 running in the same hardware.

My concern is that there are multiple existing distributed vSwitches that is currently used by all of the production VMs, so how can I migrate it safely with no downtime to the new VCSA with embedded PSC ?

I have deployed the VCSA v6.5 and I can access it using the Putty, what are my next steps to do ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

VMWare support team are doing their best to solve my issue, but I've thought about sharing my issue here, maybe somebody here had experienced the same issue, let me tell the story:

Hypervisor: vSphere 6.5 U1.

Hardware: HPE blade system C7000.

Number of blades: 26 blades - HPE BL460c Gen8.

Connectivity: FCoE.

Network layer: Cisco, Cisco FEX modules are installed into the blade chassis and directly connected to Nexus 5K switches.

VM Network: Distributed switches, load balancing mode: IP hash.

VM Guest OS network config: static IP addresses are configured.

Problem description:

when a Windows VM is rebooted it loses network connectivity, (I am 80% sure that only Windows VMs suffer from this, not Linux, it's not easy to reboot Linux Vms to test as they are hosting the ERP system) by examining the IP of the VM during the issue we find that it gets APIPA address, but it's configured with static IP already (which is nice ), this happens on a random-fashion, I am almost sure that this occurs only with Windows VMs (all editions, Windows server editions 2008 R2, 2012 R2, and 2016). The logs of ESXi hosts says nothing about this issue.

Error message in Windows eventvwr:

"The system detected an address conflict for IP address 0.0.0.0 with the system having MAC address xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. Network operations on this system maybe disrupted as a result"

How we solve the issue:

we solve it by rebooting again, disconnecting the vnic and reconnecting it, changing the distributed switch port number, or disabling and then reenabling the TCP/IP connection from the OS itself.

Solution proposed by VMware support:

According to the following KB, solving the issue requires disabling an option on Cisco infrastructure, or adding a registry key in Windows.

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1028373

But this KB is talking about DHCP, we don't use DHCP. We've checked this thing with Cisco technical support, but they said that it has nothing to do with Cisco equipment.

Now, I hope that one of you have experienced this issue and would help us.

Thanks,

Dear all

Hi

i know we have a orchestrated restart in vmware but  Default VM Restart Priority what does that means ?

because i think we had to create afew groups and role for restart priority and there we can define priority vm groups  now here what does means Default VM Restart Priority ?

Hello Everyone,

Hope all are doing good!!!

I am looking for the script which generates  and email  the snapshot report with below categories

VM | Snapshot name | Created | Description | Created by

In our environment, we have two Vcenter servers as Prod & DR, so the snapshots should be gathered from both of the Vcenter servers (shouldn't be duplicated).

So far i am using the attached script which gives me the output as enclosed under "script_output"

Please help!!!

Thank you

Dears,

I am seeking your usual support urgently,

I have A cluster with 2 identical hosts and storages which I am using to protect one windows virtual machine.

I have the following problem:

When I enable FT it shows that the vm is protecting from 2 VM as shown:

When I reboot the main storage (hosting primary vm) the vm transferred to secondary storage without problem

After the main storage came back online and ft failover process completes it shows only the vm has only one storage and not two as supposed

when I turned off the 2nd storage (NAS-Store B), the VM will not be transferred to the second one.

I really seek your support

Dear all

i use vcsa 6.5 and esxi 6.5

now i want to know if i want had 2 vcenter that managed byone vcenter how can do i that ?

do i had to install 2 vcsa (PSC+virtual senter server ) and install one virtual center server without PSC ?

such as attached pic

Dears,

I am newbie to vmware and I have a question :

I have a cluster with 2 identical hosts and 2 identical storages  which I am using to protect one VM against one host or one storage failure so I enabled fault tolerance for this virtual machine and it works fine for host protection but I have the fopllowing proble with storage:

when I turn off the storage which carrying the primary vm the vm migrates to the secondary storage with a small downtime. but when I turned on the storage again and after Fault tlerance failover completes it shows that the virtual machine is on the secondary storage and not protected and when I turn off the secondary storage the Vm became inaccessible.

So is there a configuration that should be done so when the storage came back online again the Vm become protected with the 2 storages.

Appreciate your support

BR,

Our plug-in supports linked mode by processing requests locally and forwarding to the other vCenters that are linked.

In the Flex web client, the url is something like:  https://10.117.60.58:9443/vsphere-client/foo-war-4.2.0-SNAPSHOT/rest/abouts/local and it works.

In the HTML web client, the url is something like: https://10.117.60.58:9443/vsphere-ui/foo-war-4.2.0-SNAPSHOT/rest/abouts/local and it gets a HTTP 404.

Tough to support Linked Mode if we can't talk with the other vCenters. 

Any ideas?

IT appears our monitoring system is receiving snmp traps from vCenter on a regular basis for the "Cannot connect to Storage" alarms.   The details of the alert do not show any device ID, but do provide the host info, so I know what host is supposed to be affected. 

However, when I look at the logs within vCenter for the host, there is NOTHING at all to see pertaining to Cannot connect to Storage, an alert being triggered, or an snmp trap even being sent.

This is happening on regular intervals as well with some hosts, like the same time each day in some cases.

I believe this is a VMware bug with the vCenter 6.5 alerting.   We didn't have this problem in our older vCenters.  It started happening after we upgraded our vCenter to 6.5.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Ticket has been opened with VMware support, but the chances of them provided a root cause for is about as likely as the earth ending tomorrow.   the last time I had issues with vCenter alerts not working as expected support had me disable the default alarm and recreate it manually.. which managed to work for a while, but then the same issues returned.. Traps not being sent properly, alerts not being cleared when the condition returns to health as it is configured to do so..

Please, I really want to understand whether the vCenter alarms are just pure garbage and others are seeing the same things, or if its possible there is something not correct with our configuration \ vCenter services \ health etc.

Hi There,

Hyperic v5.8.6 tcsadmin failed to restart the tomcat instances. timing out before getting the response back from server. any help on this please.

Hello my friendes ,

I need the log file where vcenter save performance chart data for my project

Help me please.

So is it fair to conclude that even though HP Proliant DL380 Gen7 is not on the HCL for vCenter 6.5, but esxi version 5.5 works with vCenter 6.5 that the HP Proliant DL380 Gen7 with esxi 5.5 should still work with vCenter 6.5 until the hardware can be upgrade to hcl compatible hardware?

Hi,

I have two ESXi 6.5 hosts.

Host-1 - Dell PowerEdge T620

Host-2 - Dell PowerEdge T440

vCenter 6.5 appliance is on Host-2 for the moment, but to be able to use VUM to upgrade the host, the host must be in maintenance mode and all VM's powered down and because of that I can't have vCenter on Host-2 when I should do the update on that host.

I don't have a license with vMotion but thinking of getting that if this method works so I did try the "Migrate" in vCenter anyway, but I got a lot of warnings with CPU incompatibility on Host-1 that I should move vCenter to.

The target host does not support the virtual machine's current hardware requirements.

To resolve CPU incompatibilities, use a cluster with Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) enabled. See KB article 1003212.

3DNow! PREFETCH and PREFETCHW are unsupported.

MOVBE is unsupported.

FMA3 is unsupported.

CPUID faulting is not supported.

Supervisor Mode Execution Protection (SMEP) is unsupported.

RDRAND is unsupported.

Instructions to read and write FS and GS base registers at any privilege level are unsupported.

Half-precision conversion instructions (F16C) are unsupported.

Fast string operations (Enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB) are unsupported.

Is this even possible to fix? Will that EVC thing fix this?

I also tried the "Quick Migration" in Veeam and it did not complain about any incompatibility, maybe I should try that one instead.

Well, is there an easier method? I know I can download VIB's and install them from the ESXi shell, but it's a lot of updates and I don't wan't to install them all one by one.

Thanks.

I see this issue going on for years, and for me it is still relevant for me using versions 6.1.1 and 6.2.

I want to convert a pair of Windows 2012 R2 servers to get a test environment in Workstation.

There are one domain controller and one member server.

I can't P2V any of them. All attempts has resulted in Error code: 2147754758 (0x80042306) within 2 minutes.

I only want to convert the system drives, and they has this layout:

Grey: 300 MB

Red:   99 MB

Yellow: 185 GB 50% free NTFS

(In version 6.2 there is an additional partition at 127 MB showing a question mark icon)

There are data drives attached to the servers as well, but I do not want to virtualize those.

In the settings before hitting the Finish button I changed as follows, to adapt to the hardware running VMware Workstation:

RAM 512 GB -> 8 GB

CPU 2x10 cores +HT -> 1x2 cores

After each converting attempt, the VSS service stops, as do the Microsoft Software Shadow Service Provider service.

In the converter logs I can't find much useful - perhaps I need guidance in what to look for besides the word "Error".

In the Windows System Event Log, I found this of interest, but I do not know how to proceed from here.

Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Is there anyway to disable a virtual NIC connected to a VM through the CLI? I have looked through the commands and I can only find disconnecting a vmnic on the host but not a NIC on the VM. Thank you!

I have two datastores and one is almost full

i want to migrate VM machine to the other datastore but keep the vmdk file in the current datastore

what is the process?
