Create Report of ONLY non-Thin VM Disks and their amount and percentage of Free Space?

$
0
0

I found these 2 threads that seem promising:

 

However, neither does precisely what I want (report on non-thin disks only).

I tried combining elements from both of these posts into my own script:

 

$report = foreach ($vm in Get-VM | Where-Object{$_.Name -notlike 'stCtlVM-*'}) {

    $disks = Get-HardDisk -VM $vm

    foreach ($disk in $disks) {

        if ($disk.StorageFormat -ne 'Thin') {

            [PSCustomObject]@{

                Server = $vm.Uid.Split(":")[0].Split("@")[1]

                VMName = $vm.Name

                VMId = $vm.Id

                FileName = $disk.FileName

                CapacityGB = $disk.CapacityGB

                FreeSpaceGB = $disk.CapacityGB - (($vm.extensiondata.layoutex.file|?{$_.name -contains $disk.filename.replace(".","-flat.")}).size/1GB)

            } 

        }

    }

}

$report | Sort-Object Server, VMName | Export-Csv -LiteralPath $file -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture -Force

 

The issue is "FreeSpaceGB" is typically either identical to "CapacityGB" or a negative number, indicating my math isn't correct.


P2V Failing in last few %

I have been attempting to P2V a server into our vSphere 5.5 environment and keep running into an issue at the very last minute.. It clones all of the volumes and then starts its final snapshot, and fails with the following messages.

 

Converter Error:

"An error occurred while taking a snapshot: The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created. The content ID of the parent virtual disk does not match the corresponding parent content ID in the child."

 

vSphere Error:

CID_MISMATCH

 

Once it fails, it ends the P2V job and then deletes the VM.

 

This is part of a big migration project to virtualize all of our remaining physical server. We have successfully P2V'd the first few and have a few more to do.

Unable to connect to the network share....VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Agent Deployment

I am trying to convert a physical linux box (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) to a VM and I am getting the error:

 

"Unable to connect to the network share 'linuxbox01\ADMIN$'."

 

I have used my account with sudo privileges and the root account and still getting this error and majority of the errors on the interwebs are outdated so their solutions/problems are not similar or are unresolved.

 

Thanks in advance.

VCSA 6.7 U2 Architecture

Hi,

 

Preparing to upgrade my 6.5 environments to 6.7 U2 and have a question relating to the 6.7 U2 announcements regarding the depreciation of an external PSC.

 

My existing 6.5 environment consists of 2 clusters each managed by their own VCSA's connecting to a single PSC providing a single sign-on domain for both VCSA's. I am having trouble finding anything that will show me what my architecture would look like after 6.7 U2. I am aware I could still use the same architecture with 6.7, but I will have to deal with this sooner or later so I might as well deal with it now.

 

Thanks

AppVolumes 2.17 - Unable to update AppStacks

Hi,

 

After the upgrade I've been experiencing the inability to perform updates on existing appstack.

AppStacks have been created on 2.17 but update doesn't start the provisioning workflow.

 

Tested with both a custom created appstack template and the default template.

Simple installation with Notepad++.

 

Can anyone confirm they experience the same so it isn't limited to my environment?

Windows 10 32bit

Memory: 1GB

Processors: 1

Hard Drive: 12GB

 

Windows Server 2016

The Host Computer is a Windows 10 Lenovo Laptop with specifications:

  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8250U Processor
  • GPU: AMD Radeon 540 2GB GDDR5

vCenter License

$

Hi - I have a solution being installed on 6 hosts which includes all the licenses for VMware standard (I.e. ESXi Standard) and this is included as standard with the servers I am purchasing. These servers don't include or provision anything for vCenter which I believe I would need for good management of these servers. I am trying to work out the best vCenter license I need (I believe this is all I need to manage them) and believe all I would need is:-

 

VMware vCenter Server Standard which comes in at $6,175.00 and support of $1,544.00 per year - this allows for unlimited hosts.

 

Can anyone confirm my thoughts that is all I need or if I am barking up the wrong tree? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am checking the VMware site and seeing all sorts of other license types which states a maximum number of CPUs etc but I think all I need is the vCenter license above!

 

cheers.

Performance Monitor - CPU Max Value

Hi all!!

 

I was checking the CPU usage in MHz graph in vCenter and the Maximum Value seems different when I get a custom period of time.

If I get the graph for one day (firts pic) the maximum size if 5088, when I get the graph for one week this peak usage doesn't appear, is this normal?

 

Thanks all!!

Host disconnected from vCenter Appliance after IP Address Change

$

0

    I've changed the IP address of the vCenter (& external PSC) machines. vCenter is fine, but all the hosts keep disconnecing from vCentre. I updated the vCenter servers IP address in the VPXA.CFG (as per article 1001493), but the address keeps on getting reverted back to the old address. I've checked the vCenter's IP address (As per article 1008030) and even restarted vCenter, but still the same: The vCenter server's IP address gets reverted.

 

What else can I do to try to fix this?

 

Thank you.

VMWare Workstation Pro 15 oder VMWare Player 15 - Windows 10 Host Bluescreen nach Start einer virtuellen Maschine

$

Ich nutze schon lange den VMWare Player, zuletzt in der aktuellen Version 15.1.0. Bisher lief dieser immer ohne Probleme.

Auf einmal erhalte ich jedoch immer Bluescreens, wenn ich eine virtuelle Maschine starte. Manchmal direkt, manchmal nach ein paar Minuten.

Zuletzt hiesß es "Stillstandcode: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION".

Ich habe Windows 10 nochmal komplett neu installiert und mit allen Updates versehen. Alles läuft ohne Probleme, nur nach der Installation des VMWare Players kam es dann wieder zu dem Bluescreen nachdem ich eine virtuelle Maschine gestartet habe. Der Host startet dann neu.

Ich habe mir daher die Testversion von VMWare Workstation Pro heruntergeladen und damit getestet, jedoch kam zum gleichen Punkt.

 

Seltsam ist, dass Hyper-V ohne Probleme läuft. Dies hatte ich zwischenzeitlich getestet um zu sehen ob ich vielleicht einen Defekt habe, der keine Virtualisierungslösung nutzbar macht. Hier geht alles, aber ich möchte lieber VMWare nutzen!

 

Ich habe einen Ryzen 7 1700X, 32 GB, Radeon RX480, M2 SSD.

 

Auch Memtest habe ich schon für eine Stunde laufen lassen um einen Speicherrfehler auszuschließen. Ohne Fehler.

 

Ich weiß nicht mehr weiter. Hat jemand eine Idee?

Hi,

 

I have created a Windows 10 VM on VMware Workstation.

 

I can access Internet in Windows 10 VM by both ways; NAT and Bridged network.

 

Host OS is Windows 10 and laptop is connected with wifi for Internet connection.

 

Can I access Windows 10 VM anywhere on Internet?

 

If yes, please be kind to elaborate steps.

Guests crashing when using remote desktop to host

It's now happening on two different hosts. I remote desktop into the host (win 10), I can use the guest (win 10), but if I minimize my remote desktop window, some time later, when I go back into the host, the guest vm is crashed and one core is pegged 100%.

 

It's started happening on both hosts in the last few weeks.

Can't install macOS 10.14 Mojave as guest on macOS 10.14 Mojave host

Hello,

 

I am trying to create a new Virtual Machine to run macOS 10.14 Mojave in Fusion 11.0.2, running on a macOS 10.14 Mojave host machine.

 

When I try and create the new VM, I get an error: "Unable to create the installation medium." This is just when it tries to create the new VM, before it even attempts to start the VM.

 

I am installing using the downloaded 6GB macOS 10.14 Mojave installer from the App Store.

 

Please help! Has anyone else had this problem? I really need this to work!

vRA 7.6 - bulk import csv generation not working as expected, also using cloudclient

$
0
0

I need to export the CSV file for managed machines. It seems that the ~500 VMs in the environment are too much for the process to handle and I get an error 502.

After that I tried to use the cloudclient 4.7, however, when using the vra machines list command only the resource type and id are exported, like this:

 

catalogResource.resourceTypeRef.label,catalogResource.id
Virtual Machine,c3d1a38a-f7c0-4b36-a0f4-4e02d94fd979
Virtual Machine,655d16cb-5b60-44f7-8039-ffb8207e2e39

There is no name, blueprint id, resource association etc., only those two columns.

How do I use the cloudclient to receive a vsc file that hase the same content as the export using the GUI?

 

Edit: Also, is there a way to filter content that will be exported, using the Generate CSV File function in the GUI? I get a Business Group, Blueprint etc. selection after choosing to export Unmanaged Machines, but when I select Managed Machines, all dropdown fields under Default Values are greyed otu (except Component machine). Is this normal, expected behaviour? Shouldn't it be the other way around? The Bulk Import module seems to be really janky.

Hi Team,

I'm seeking assistance with upgrade my current  Esxi on running multiple VMs on a single 1 TB  drive to an additonal 2 more of the same drives I bought.

Right now I have the first disk in slot 0 and I have placed the other two in slots 1 &2.

I haven't started up the server yet.

Could you help me with configuring these disk in raid configuration and the best way possible, considering data availability in case of disk failures.

What settings needs to be done in the bios and how to move files...etc..

 

Thank you

Kind regards,

Rin
