UAG 2NIC Deployment - Routing/Forwarding Assistance

November 10, 2017, 10:06 am
$

0

I am looking to deploy a 2NIC UAG 3.1 to replace my security server.

 

During the initial deployment of the OVF deployment properties, it wants the following inputs.  These are the first 3 inputs in the list.

 

DNS Servers

Gateway

Netmask

 

Are these for the Internet facing interface or the Mgmt/Backend Interface?

 

Also, would anyone be able to post a sample of the custom routes needed for NIC1 and NIC2 along with the forwarding rules?  I realize this will be based on what IP settings I am using but just wanting to understand it a bit more by seeing an example.

 

When I initially deployed it without inputting the routes and forwarding settings, I was able to access the UAG mgmt interface internally and config the connection settings back to my Connection server, but when I attempted to connect from the outside using a client I was getting a timeout.  Monitoring the firewall I could observe the internet facing interface getting hit, but nothing after that.  I am assuming I need some type of routes on the UAG configure to pass the traffic from the Internet to the MGMT/Backend interface within the UAG regardless of my firewall rules.

 

If some one could provide a sample I could following that would be helpful.

Buenas tardes.

 

Hay una réplica que tengo creada en el Veeam que me da error (adjunta 2).

 

Accedo a esa máquina a través del vSphere Web Client, y, cuando intento eliminar las snapshots que tiene, no me deja y me sale un error (Adjunto 1).

 

¿Como podría hacer para solventar este error?

 

Muchas gracias.

 

Un saludo.

Error when deploying OVF

November 28, 2017, 8:18 am

I have been working on deploying server templates in OVF format to a number of remote datacenters that were recently upgraded to 6.5. Doing so through the web client (Java or HTML) seems to hang at the Validation step. I read several articles online that stated this is something of a known problem, so I decided to just script it out. I am using the snippet below:

 

 

Import-VApp `    -Source <path to source> `    -Name "ATL 2016 Template" `    -VMHost (Get-VMHost -Name "host.mycompany.com") `    -Datastore (Get-Datastore -Name "VRTX-Local-VMs") `    -DiskStorageFormat Thin

 

This has worked well for 20+ sites, but I have one site that is throwing an error. The error states:

 

Host did not have any virtual network defined

Which doesn't make sense, as the cluster has a VDS the same as all the others. Just curious if anyone else has seen something like this, or what may be causing it. I did a search online but came up with nothing.

Dubbi su installazione hypervisor

Salve a tutti..

devo aggiornare la versione embedded di esxi 4 single server  del nostro Dell Poweredge R710 con due processori E5630 piccolo ambiente ..dopo un pò di ricerche sembra che la cosa non sia fattibile come upgrade ma come installazione ex novo.. sul sito Dell la matrix di compatibilità mi dà sino alla versione 6xx ed é presente la iso con i driver Dell integrati da scaricare

 

Prima di procedere ad una installazione ex novo dovrò aggiornare il bios del server e il firmware della scheda raid e della scheda Idrac per la gestione remota..etc etc ..e per questo c'é una iso che fà tutto in automatico...

 

Le VM che attualmente girano nell'ambiente sono state esportate e funzionano su un server di appoggio quindi nessun problema.

 

Ho qualche dubbio ...

 

1) é possibile esportare la config di Esxi 4 e reinportarla sul 6 ?

2) dalla versione 4 alla versione 6 il file system dei datastore subisce variazioni ? 

   se si... vengono updatati o mi conviene ricrearli ...riformattarli con la versione dell'ESXI 6 e    poi reinportare le VM ?

 

3) Vmware Vsphere client non funziona più con la versione 6 ? dovrò usare cosa ?

 

4) mi sfugge qualcosa ? qualche suggerimento ?

 

scusate le domande da niubbo ma non vorrei fare pasticci...

 

saluti

Hi,

 

All is in the title.

I don't understand I can't see the security group content or make search base on security tag to catch vm list.

 

Is it a normal behaviour or I failed somewhere ?

All other informations (vm, edge, dlr, flows, topology, firewall rules, metric, etc ...) seem good.

 

regards for any help.

Slower VMDK speed than RDM + recommendation

I have two questions. Is there any reasonable reason why WD-RED HDD in RDM (139MB/s) is much faster than my WD-RED in VMDK (98MB/s)? Not true for my SSD, which is enough fast under VMDK.

 

madrian@ubuntu:~# #SSD (VMDK)

madrian@ubuntu:~$ sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024; sync

1024+0 records in

1024+0 records out

madrian@ubuntu:/media/hdd$ sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024; sync

1024+0 records in

1024+0 records out

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 10.958 s, 98.0 MB/s

madrian@ubuntu:/media/hdd$ #RDM

madrian@ubuntu:/media$ cd backup/

madrian@ubuntu:/media/backup$ sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024; sync

1024+0 records in

1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 7.70613 s, 139 MB/s

madrian@ubuntu:/media/backup$

 

I get same values with fio.

 

My other question is: what do you recommend for me: I have 2-3 Linux OS installed on my Esxi server/primary hdd is an ssd. On my second WD RED I have not very important data. Currently on this HDD I am using VMDK and today I wanted shrink it's size. As I read it's not possible, only by Converter. Meh, I'll skip this. I am now thinking in RDM because it's easier to maitance I think. In this case I would shrink the main partition and create a new one for other OS. What do you think? Or maybe I am going to start again, format the drive and start with a smaller VMDK? Another possibility is to use (multiple) VMDK for different OSes and use thin provisioning to not use full disk? I can't decide which is the best way for the future (expand/shrink disk freely).

How to add tenant level access control to Provisioned Custom Resource

November 23, 2017, 9:37 am

Hi,

I'm working with vRA version 7.2 configured with embedded vRO. My vRA is provisioned with an external AD server. I'm facing issues when using Custom Resources as an input for my XaaS Blueprints. Below is a detailed problem statement. Kindly respond back if any further information is required.

 

Problem Statement:

I've an external system which requires login for performing any action. I want to integrate this system with vRA. I've defined vRO workflows for all the actions supported by this external system. I want to expose these actions in vRA. I also want to support of use case where different vRA Tenants will have different connection properties for the external system.

Approach Taken:

I've defined a Custom Resource representing the external system's connection information in vRA. I've added an XaaS Blueprint which provisions this Custom Resource. The Blueprint is published and added to a Service. This Service is entitled to users of given tenant. Every Tenant creates its own XaaS Blueprint and entitles it to it's own users.

I use this provisioned Custom Resource as an input for my other XaaS Blueprints. Essentially, I want to store connection details for the external system once using the Custom Resource and reuse it for all my other Blueprints.

Issue Faced:

When the Custom Resource is requested through the Catalog, it gets provisioned successfully adding an entry in Items tab. The items tab shows only those Custom Resources which are provisioned by users of given Tenant.

But when another Catalog Item is requested which uses this Custom Resource as an input, the select box lists the items of the Custom Resource provisioned by other tenants as well. I want to restrict this list only to items of Custom Resource provisioned by users of given Tenant.

I tried multiple approaches to restrict this list but couldn't find a solution for it.

 

Kindly ascertain if this is a right approach for given problem statement. If so, please suggest how to restrict the list.

 

Regards

vRA Tenant Logon Page Customization

Hi All,

 

I know this is probably a long shot, however figured it was worth asking.

 

We have a vRA7.3 deployment, and were curious if there is ANY way, (easy or hack and slash) to change the logon window.

 

We want to remove or edit the "Forgot Password" at the bottom of the logon window (see attached).

 

Ideally we would like to have a hyperlink in its place or anywhere else in the logon window, that directs users to an intranet site with instructions on how to access and use the solution.

 

I will reserve any criticism, as the product has many shining qualities that make up for its deficiencies.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

NSX was configured to send log to Log Insight, but in Dashboard it does not show data of Logical Switch Created, Logical Routers, always shows in zero and have Logical Switch and Logical Routers actives.

 

The only thing that shows us dashboard is Edge Firewall.

 

How can you validate that the logs are being sent correctly to Log Insight?

Esxi 6.5.0U1 and LSI SMIS Providers

Hi,

does anybody had success working with LSI megaraid SMIS Providers into Esxi 6.5.0U1?

I successfull installed the latest vib file downloaded from LSI web site (00.66.V0.02), but I cannot connect from any client.

In webinterface, in Monitor-> Storage area, I see the disks and the battery status, but there is also the following message on the top and in yellow background: The Small Footprint CIM Broker Daemon (SFCBD) is not running. Storage health data is reported by this daemon. Please see this KB article for information on enabling this service.

I found CIM server stopped at boot, if I manually start it, it runs, but I cannot access to LSI megaraid data from any client.

I created a firewall rule for ports 3071 and 5571 UDP and TCP, but from esxi shell, nc -z $ip_address 3000-5900 does not reports any open port.

 

Any hints to start trying to discovery the problem?

 

Thank you!

Vcenter Web Console not working in Windows 10

Our vcenter admin recently did an upgrade to vsphere 6.5.  Up until now, I had been making do with the Windows Client, but I can't use it anymore.

 

In Windows 10:

 

In Chrome,
If I use the vcenter /ui (HTML5), I can log in, and I can launch a remote console (a separate window pops up), but it never authenticates me.  It asks for the password for vcenter, and I use the same password I used to get into the ui URL.  If I use myuserid@vsphere.local instead of userid, same thing.
Using the vcenter /vsphere-client (Flash), I get a blank page after login.

 

In Edge:
HTML5 site: Same problems as above.
Flash site: Blank window after login. Flash banner on top of page.  "Use Adobe Flash Player" is on, in Edge's Advanced Settings.

 

In IE11:
HTML5 site: Same problems as above.
Flash site: IE crashes and attempts to reload the page

 

If I use a Windows 7 pc, I can successfully log in to vcenter and open and authenticate in a remote console (same userid and vm I tried above).

 

I tried this (https://communities.vmware.com/message/2723105#2723105), but it didn't seem to help.

 

I have tried re-installing the software you get from "Download Enhanced Authentication Plugin" more than once (and rebooted).

 

I have installed the certs under our base URL (Download trusted root CA certificates).

 

Any ideas?

vCenter 6.0.0 VCSA won't deploy via normal method or CLI method from a Windows 10 (DISA Secure Host Baseline) machine

November 28, 2017, 10:07 am

So I am trying to deploy the VCSA appliance 6.0.0-7040641 from a DISA v10.2.0 Windows 10 Enterprise Machine that is fully pre-stigged. (I have also tried this with 6.0.0-5326177) with same results. Each time I get a manifest does not validate error and it stops.

  • So first I researched and removed the white spaces from manifest file using 7zip which just gave me a "cannot find ovf file at beginning of ova" - so i went back to clean image
  • I disabled McAfee Enterprise Virusscan and made exclusions for the locations of the vcsa file -same does not validate error and stops
  • Then I moved to a baseline windows enterprise machine (non-stigged) and tried - i get same "manifest does not validate" error but it continues on and deploys!

 

So does anyone have any hints of what to adjust in the Local Group Policy and settings that would make this fail in a SHB setup?

ldap SSO identity source fails to create. "IDMLoginException: Failed to probe provider connectivity" on VCSA 6.5

Hi,

 

We have created a vSphere 6.5 installation with three 6.5 ESXi hosts running VCSA 6.5 patched to the latest edition. We are trying to add an ldap identity source but the task fails. The vmware-sts-idmd.log shows an IDMLoginException: Failed to probe provider connectivity.

 

We are using exactly the same settings as our existing vSphere 6.0 installation and that is working without any problems. I can connect using JXplorer using the same settings. I have opened the firewall on each of the three ESXi hosts for AD connectivity. Calls to nslookup on the appliance and the esxi hosts all resolve the ldap server correctly. There are reverse lookup records for the ldap server and they also resolve correctly.

 

BTW our VCSA 6.5 is in vCenter HA mode.

 

Any ideas?

REST API Question

November 28, 2017, 8:42 am

From the 7.2 documentation, I am supposed to be able to request an HTTP Bearer token using cred with the following command:

curl --insecure -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"username":"TenantAdminUser@example.com","password":"password","tenant":"MYCOMPANY"}' https://vra.mycompany.com/identities/api/tokens

 

As I couldn't get this to work in a reasonable way (Cannot bind parameter 'Headers'. Cannot convert the "Accept: application/json" value of type "system.string"..)  as it is setup above (Powershell makes everything difficult), I looked up the Invoke-RestMethod command and came up with:

 

Invoke-RestMethod -uri https://vRAserver.company.org/identities/api/tokens -Method Post -Credential $cred -ContentType "application/json"

 

This seemed to do something, but I received an error message from my vRA server:

Invoke-RestMethod : HTTP Status 404 - /identities/api/tokens

At line:1 char:1

+ Invoke-RestMethod -uri https://vRAserver.company.com/identities/api/tokens -M ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

 

If I just try to browse to https://vRAserver.company.org/identities/api/tokens I get the same error....

 

Any suggestions? I can't even THINK about doing any queries of the data structures without being authorized with the token...is there some setup I need to do to initialize the REST API interface on the vRA appliance?

I've just installed Fusion 10 today on High Sierra (final release). Ever since I did so, I haven't been unable to run any of my VMs.

The error is always the same "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to". I've tried to create new VMs but the end result is the same.

Any help appreciated.
