Windows 10 Pool Disconnects and Guess OS Crash

Have a windows 10 linked-clone floating desktop pool that is experiencing frequent disconnects on dell wyse zero clients (p25 and p45). When the disconnect happens the guess OS crashes, resets, and registers the event in vsphere. VM is then placed in an already used state in View.


This is the only error in the PCOIP log I can find.

USB redirection not blocked although set to deny in Pool Policy

Hi

using

Horizon View 6.2.2 build-3508079

Horizon Client 4.1.0. build-3977225

Pool is Linked Clone of Windows 8.1 machine.

 

USB redirection must be disable but it is not. tried override inheritance and set it per user account.

still USB is available.

 

 

any suggestions?

Manual Pool - Manage Power state

Hello,

 

I created a Floating Manual Pool of Linux vm. Is there a way to have them powered up un demand Like I do in my Windows Floating pools?

It's a waste of RAM to have them always on.

 

Kind regards

Migrate VMs Esxi 5.1 to Esxi 6.0

Amigos,

Possuo o seguinte cenário: Possuo um ambiente com servidor Esxi 5.1 e 10 VMs, esse host esxi possui um hardware relativamente antigo, estamos adquirimos uma estrutura nova para substituir essa mais antiga, a migração deverá ser "online" sem nenhuma parada, porém alguns questionamentos surgiram tipo:

1) Em função da diferença de versões, a migração poderá ser "hot", sem downtime?

2) O novo host terá uma tecnologia mais recente de processador do que o antigo, isso será um problema? Terei que habilitar e configurar o recurso EVC?

3) Existe alguma documentação de melhores práticas para esse tipo de migração?

4) Qual seria a sequencia correta?

Limiting the number of concurrent storage vMotions with vCenter 6.0

I have about 100 VMs to migrate to another datastore, but would like to minimise performance impact while doing so by limiting the number of concurrent Storage vMotions to only one, so that I can queue them all up and have them go one at a time.  (default limit is 8).

 

I found the below guides about how to achieve this, but was written and tested only with ESXi 4,  5 and 5.1 :

 

Limiting the number of Storage vMotions - frankdenneman.nl

Limiting the number of concurrent vMotions - frankdenneman.nl

 

vSphere 6 documentation seems to mirror what's Frank's last post:

vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center

 

So I tried adding in config key to my vCenter 6 and ESXi 6 environment like so:

  <vpxd>

    <ResourceManager>

      <maxCostPerEsx41Ds>20</maxCostPerEsx41Ds>

    </ResourceManager>


Then restarted vCenter virtual appliance, but was still able to Storage vMotion 3x VMs simultaneously to the same datastore...


I assume key has changed in version 6?  Any ideas?

Extract Host CDP Information

Hi all

 

It would be appreciated a lot if someone can help me provide script to extract all host CDP information for reporting and output it to excel or csv file.

 

Output would be this format:

Need to Attach multiple RDM to a VM

Hello geek,

 

I am trying to write a powercli script which will attach multiple RDMs to a VM. I googled and lot of scripts i received but still that is not clear.

I thought of creating csv file containing all canonical names of RDM and importing that using import-CSV, then no idea how to proceed further.

 

 

New-HardDisk cmdlet will do attach but how to attach multiple of RDMs?

 

PLease reply

 

Thanks,

ESXI 6.0 on Cenerlon n3150 (Braswell platform)

hello,

 

I am attempting to assemble a cheap vm box for my amusement and learning. if everything works, it may become the pfsense / xpenology nas / vpn gateway box at my parents house...

 

I purchased an Asrock n3150m matx board for $100 cdn (ASRock > N3150M

 

basically a lower clocked pentium n3700. It was in stock, while the n3700 variant was not. For $20 more I would have taken the n3700 variant if available.


this is the new braswell series of 14nm el'cheapo atoms chips: ARK | Intel® Celeron® Processor N3150 (2M Cache, up to 2.08 GHz)

 

I got the matx version versus itx due to the extra pcie slots; I have some spare intel dual lan pcie cards, sil3124 sata cards,etc. Had some spare ddr3, a spare kingston 128gb ssd, and a 350w psu. bought a new case. everything is working. updated to the latest 1.10 bios.

 


the system is up and running. I cannot get hyper v server 2012 r2 to install as it gives me a hypervisor error upon reboot and does not finish the install. Tried server 2012 r2, which works until I install the hyper-v add-on, and the same issue. hyper v server 2016 preview 3 works flawlessly.

 

I could not get exsi 5.5u2 or 6.0 with u1 update to work. Both hang at " Relocating modules and starting up the kernel". I attempted to patch version 6 with the sata drivers using one of the tools I found online and also with powercli - no dice.

 

I tried creating custom images as per: How to fix ESXi on Intel NUC malformed Manufacturer and Model | Virten.net and ESXi 6.0 Image for Intel NUC | Virten.net

 

Recall, this cpu os basically the same thing as the braswell nuc. I have disabled parallel port and serial ports, changed onboard video ram settings, disabled the on-board realtek lan, etc. and no dice. I am at my wits end.

 

I installed windows 10 and installed vmware workstation 12, and it works perfectly. I would prefer to avoid this option. Any ideas how I could get esxi 6 to work on this?


Not getting the machine.cfg file after agent install - show "waiting for agent"

This is a test of Linux desktop with view 7

 

I have tried many things but that file does not want to show up. The only thing I can see that might be an issue is the linux desktop I try to prepare is on a different domain than the view server, and its subnet is not a normal class C. Ports are open and I can resolve FQDN without the cheat of having it in the /etc/hosts file. Any thoughts?

Works fine an a different linux machine on the same domain and normal class C like the view server.

Thanks for any help.

 

I have tried to go all the way back to reinstalling vmware tools too.

No Sound in CentOS 7.1 Agent Version 7.0.1

Hello,

 

after upgrading the View Connection Server to 7.0.1 and upgrade the Agents to 7.0.1 (7.0.0 agents have the same problem), there is no sound anymore.

 

Client Systems are CentOS 7.1 and View Client Version 4.1.0 and 4.0.1.

 

Did anyone have an idea why the sound output does not work anymore with the linux agents? Sound output on the Windows Agent does work with the new connection server.

 

RTAV is activated on the client. However, the sound on windows desktop pool works.

 

Thank you!

 

Best regards,

Björn

How to register callback on vCenter selector

The Html Bridge documentation mentions that vCenter selector can be enabled using <showVCenterSelector>true</showVCenterSelector> tag.


I can access the the selected vcenter details from getVcSelectorInfo() API.


However, how do i register callback on this vCenter selector? I want to update the view and render details whenever a different vCenter is selected from the drop-down box.


Can you please provide additional details.


Thanks.

Ability for Linux Client to Exit Upon Remote Disconnect

I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it is possible to have the stock Horizon View Linux client exit upon being disconnected when the current user logs in to their desktop at another work station?

 

I thought the --once flag might work (and it does if you remember to click 'Logoff' from the session) however in a lot of cases our employees move around a lot and end up re-connecting to their desktop in another room. So for example:

 

Bob logs in while in room 105.  He does his work. Then leaves the room and moves down the hall to room 110. He taps his badge and logs in and is now at his desktop. The problem here is that the workstation in room 105 has not exited upon being disconnected from the remote desktop.

 

Is there a way to force this to happen or something we need to enable? Asking them to all remember to log out each time is going to cause a lot of push back and ultimately someone will forget and we'll have to visit each workstation left in that state.

 

Thank you.

We are using 1200 VDI. I want migrate some VDIs on new datastore.We are planning recomposing for windows patch and update application.should we give recompose option first or rebalance for add new datastore.


ESXI 6 Installation on Zotac CI323 stuck on Relocating modules and starting up the kernel

Hi,

 

I tried to install ESXI 6 on Zotac CI323. The Installation stuck on "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel"

 

I already used the ignoreHeadless param and added realtek drivers. But installation and boot will still stuck. Same issue after installing ESXI on SD-Card via VMWare Workstation and booting on Zotac.

 

Any ideas how i can solve this issue?

Fault Tolerance, 2 Host Cluster, ESX 6, Out of Memory?

I have 2 identical hosts (Dell R630s w/ 192GB RAM and 48 logical CPUs each.)

I have the same version of ESX 6 (3380124) installed on both, and they are in a cluster. vCenter 6 (2656760).

The vCenter server (4 core, 8GB RAM) is a VM in the cluster, and there are 26 identical Windows VMs (2 core, 4GB RAM) that are used by our QA department for automated testing.

  • So, a single host is more than adequate to host all the VMs in the cluster, even if CPU is slightly oversubscribed.

The two hosts have a pair of 10GbE NICs connected to each other, dedicated to FT traffic.

The two hosts are connected to a SAN via 10GbE iSCSI. Two LUNs are presented to the hosts for storage of VMs.

Heartbeat enabled for both LUNs. The primary VM images are on one, and the other is used for FT storage.

EVC Mode is disabled.

 

We want to enable Fault Tolerance on the VMs so that a single host failure doesn't stop automated testing. We thought this would be a relatively simple matter of having the second host duplicating everything on the first host.

 

I have set the following variables in the cluster configuration:

  • das.maxftvcpusperhost=80
  • das.maxftvmsperhost=40
  • das.slotMemInMB=1280

I have tried a few different slot sizes between 128 and 2048 MB, but it hasn't made a difference.

 

I can successfully enable fault tolerance on any 25 of the 27 VMs in the cluster. However, the remaining two will fail when spinning up the secondary VM, with:

 

Failed to prepare the virtual machine for enabling Fault Tolerance: Out of memory

Failed to start migration due to event callback failure.

 

This shows up in the Tasks view as an error on the secondary host.

I've gone line by line and the host config is identical. The hosts aren't even close to being out of memory. (At the moment, 54GB free on the primary with all the VMs active, 73GB free on the secondary system.)

Traffic on the FT NICs is chugging along at around 300MB/sec. (Well under the 10GbE limitation.)

 

Any thoughts? I'm kind of confused here.

 

Thanks!

VM gets grayout and invalid.
