VCP NSX exam version query

$
0
0

Hi,

I want to know if there is any difference between VCP6-NV and VCP-NV 2020, both certification mention same exam to be taken.

 

VC6-NV

https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcp6-nv.html

Exam - VMware Certified Professional 6 – Network Virtualization

 

VCP-NV 2020

https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcp-nv.html

Exam - VMware Certified Professional 6 - Network Virtualization 6.2 Exam (Retiring Soon on June 30, 2020)

 

When clicked on the Exam links both opens the same page

 

https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcp6-nv-nsxv62-exam.html

Exam Number - 2V0-642

Associated Certification - VCP-NV 2020

 

Exam Number - 2V0-642 - is this exam retiring on June 30, 2020 ? if yes, then whether this date will be extended in view of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic ?

 

Pearson onVue is not available in Japan, thats why i cannot take exam online from home ?

Can i use some VPN to connect to other country and attempt the exam ? will it work ? will it be legal ?

 

Regards,

Nilesh

Does anyone have an idea how to do so?

Extend vRA Provisioned Machine Lease to Unlimited

$
0
0

Hi,

I am using vRA version 7.2 and I would like to make one of the machine's reservation to unlimited. However, I am getting below error which is expected if Blueprint has limited lease period.

 

Basically, when I created machine from Blueprint it had limited lease. However, before changing the lease of this machine I made the blueprint lease to unlimited but it is still throwing me the same error. I am not sure if its supported to change the lease to unlimited in this way. I know we can use cloudclient to achieve this, but I don't want to remove the machine from vRA or have it linked to other Blueprint.

Can we make the lease to unlimited without using cloudclient ?

VRA 8.1 Active Directory Integration Issue

I am deploying a multi-machine blueprint where by the users picks any number of web app and db servers and then sends the request.   The request starts to run and using the AD integration plugin it tries to go out and pre-stage computer accounts for the machines in the specified OU.  I am getting intermittent success.  It is not consistent.  When it fails it is due to a java.util.concurrent.TimeOut Exception.   At first I considered it was due to me using the SPN of the name as the AD controller.  So I changed that and am now pointing to a specific Domain controller.  I still get the errors more often than not.  I get a successful run about 1 out of 5 times.  I know its not anything in the blueprint it has to be in the AD Plugin or there may be an issue on my clients AD Domain.  Here is a failed workflow run showing that it fails at the PRESTAGE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT.  Any help troubleshooting would be appreciative.

Generate VMRC links

$

0

Hi all.  I'd appreciate some advice on if what I'm trying to do can be done, and where I'm going wrong.  I need a way for end-users to connect to a VM using VMRC without them needing their own login to the VRA console.  I thought it would be possible using the API.

 

I am able to get resource actions using:

 

GET/api/consumer/resources/{resourceId}/actions/{resourceActionId}/requests/template

 

Partial output of the above:

 

        {

 

            "@type": "ConsumerResourceOperation",

            "name": "Connect using VMRC",

            "description": "Infrastructure connect using VMRC",

            "iconId": "cafe_default_icon_genericResourceOperation",

            "type": "EXTENSION",

            "id": "bf83082c-682f-4c54-bc67-24d3b7eccb35",

            "extensionId": "csp.places.iaas.item.nowindow.ConnectViaNativeVmrc",

            "providerTypeId": null,

            "bindingId": null,

            "hasForm": false,

            "formScale": null

        },

        {

            "@type": "ConsumerResourceOperation",

            "name": "Create Snapshot",

            "description": "Create a snapshot for this machine.",

            "iconId": "virtualCreateSnapshot.png",

            "type": "ACTION",

            "id": "a390dcbc-c3a7-4668-8246-69237e075605",

            "extensionId": null,

            "providerTypeId": "com.vmware.csp.iaas.blueprint.service",

            "bindingId": "Infrastructure.Virtual.Action.CreateSnapshot",

            "hasForm": true,

            "formScale": "SMALL"

        },

 

I can perform some actions by first getting the template using:

GET/api/consumer/resources/{resourceId}/actions/{resourceActionId}/requests/template

 

{

 

    "type": "com.vmware.vcac.catalog.domain.request.CatalogResourceRequest",

    "resourceId": "c92b2b7f-0cb3-4399-bb8c-e4d7896eb4dd",

    "actionId": "a390dcbc-c3a7-4668-8246-69237e075605",

    "description": null,

    "reasons": null,

    "data": {

        "SnapshotInputDescription": null,

        "SnapshotInputMemoryIncluded": null,

        "SnapshotInputName": null

    }

}

 

Then modify the JSON and post it to

 

POST/api/consumer/resources/{resourceId}/actions/{resourceActionId}/requests

 

The problem is that if I try to retrieve the request template for any of the connect actions (console, VMRC or SSH) I get this:

 

{

 

    "errors": [

        {

            "code": 50505,

            "source": null,

            "message": "System exception.",

            "systemMessage": null,

            "moreInfoUrl": null

        }

    ]

}

 

Any thoughts on if what I want to do is possible and how I could proceed?

Update Lease End Date vRO

I'm trying to update the lease expiration date of a deployment in vro.  I read this thread, and it gave me a good base to start with, but i can't seem to get the operations peice to work.

My end goal is to publish a link via email to the end user for POC boxes so they can extend the lease without any intervention.  I've attached the code i'm working with just to flesh out how everything works.

I have the code to grab all vm's expiring in less than 30 days and the code to grab the deployment catalog resource.  Just can't get the operations to populate.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

iOS Wifi restrictions / Airwatch removal

$

Hi

 

I've not been able to find anything in Airwatch to do the following but would appreciate if anyone knows different:

 

Is it possible to restrict iOS devices from connecting to Open wifi networks or Wifi with a Captive portal ? Our devices are all supervised by Configurator 2 but we cannot use the Whitelist Wifi function as we have too many networks allowed. 

 

Also is it the case that devices have to be in DEP in order to prevent the removal of Airwatch MDM ?  I believe so.  I've removed the Unenrol option in Hub but they can remove the profile.

 

Thanks
Adam.

USB 3 devices not mounting in Win10 VM - Fusion 11.5.1 + Catalina 10.15.3

I can't get any USB 3  / USB C devices to mount in a Win10 VM.  I'm not sure if this started with upgrade to Fusion 11 and/or Catalina (MacBook Pro 2018)???

 

I've read several articles with similar issues and no real fix.  When I plug in a USB 3 or C device it prompts to connect to Windows, It tries to mount, "bonks", several times, them the USB3 controlled shows (yellow !). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the controller/driver, all of them, with no luck.

 

Any suggestions?

I did a fresh install of the latest Horizons View Mac Client and attempted to start the USB Arbitrator for USB Redirection. I was having trouble getting the USB devices to show up in the dropdown menu, so I enabled logging following the instructions at https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/vmware-horizon-view-usb-device-redirection.p…

VM migration fails on 6.5U2

$

Hello,

 

We encountered a vmx crash problem when migrating a VM from one host to another. Both ESXi version of src and dst host are 6.5U2. The backend storage of the VM is an NFS datastore, working with the certified NAS-VAAI plugin: VMware Compatibility Guide - Storage/SAN Search

 

The vmware.log shows that an invalid address is accessed when opening a database connection (the VM has a .db file) during vMotion:

 

2020-04-18T07:02:01.303Z| vmx| I125: NamespaceMgrCheckpoint: opening database connection (Huayun_OU01.db).

Some more tests show that:

 

1. Only a few VMs have this problem. For these VMs, storage vMotion from NFS datastore to another datastore is also failed, and has the same error log (accessing invalid addr 28).

2. If the VM is rebooted before migrating, migration could be successful.

 

Attachment is the vmware.log of the failed VM, and the zdump generated when vmx crashed.

 

Any comments are welcome.

Hello,

 

I am wondering if this a common issue and who can help.

 

Every second or third time a user connects to his VDI desktop, client drive redirection to his local computer's user profile is not mapped. When is logs off and back on OR just clicks the "X" and reconnects the running session, the drive is like mapped. Network connection between client, connection server and VDI desktop is good. Could not find anything related in the logs.

 

Running Horizon 7.8 with Windows 10 1809 pool using Horizon Agent 7.10 (Same on Agent 7.8)

Clients using Horizon Client version 5.2 or 5.3

As the issue occurs, also \\tsclient\<Username> is not reachable so it is not just the drive mapped to "My Computer".

 

Who's got a clue that the issue is?
