Hi all,

I just transferred over from parallels and I seem to be having some trouble getting things set up. For some reason it doesn't seem to pick up my local hard drives. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Binary translation is incompatible with long mode

$

0

I have Vaio Fit laptop.

OS: Windows 8 64--bit

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3337U CPU @ 1.80GHz

Virtualization is enabled in BIOS. Task manager is reporting that virtualization is enabled.

 

I am trying to play an image of Ubuntu 32-bit that was copied from another machine. I get the error message "Binary translation is incompatible with long mode". I did a ton of Googling and most people are having this problem when booting 64-bit guest OS with virtualization is disabled in the BIOS. That doesn't apply to me. I have virtualization enabled in BIOS and I am booting a 32-bit guest OS.

 

Ubuntu guest OS is running fine but slow.

 

I can not find anyone else having this problem. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

Updating proceedure for Vcenter and ESXI without Update manager

$

Unfortunately I can't run Update Manager since I dont have a stand alone 64bit server.  I need to up date my Virtual Vcenter and (2) ESXI Servers that are running 5.0 Update 2 to Update 3.  I am trying to run a Virtual Windows 2012 R2 server and it crashes out every once and a while. It sounds like Update 3 cures that issue.

 

Is there some where that explains the exact steps to do in order to manually update the servers?

 

Just wondering,

Ken

How can I repair a VMWare Fusion machine

$

0

I am using the newest version of VMWare Fusion.  I have a 64-Bit Windows 7 machine on it.  It has worked well until today.  When I try to open it up it won't open.  I don't get an error message but I have the VMWare Fusion icon in my dock and there's a bar underneath it that is black/grey with white stripes going through it like it's doing something like booting or repairing but it can do this for an hour or more and never stops.  If I actually click on the icon to open the program in front of everything else the menus are greyed out where I can't select anything.  I have a Windows XP machine that works fine so I know it has something to do with the specific Windows machine, not VMWare. 
My assumption is that the machine became corrupted. I have a backup of it but it's not a recent backup so I prefer to repair it. I did some important work on it that I don't want to lose.  Is there any way to do some type of repair on this machine or some other way to fix it?  Thanks in advance for your help.

hi guys

 

I few hours ago I had ESXi 5.5 Server which showed message in vCenter not responding - I tried reconnecting same issue

services.sh restart same issue and customers started reported  connectivity issues.

 

so I had to restart the server well first of all no VM got restart even when HA was enabled and second checking logs - vmkernel - hostd.log vmkwarning.log I really did not find much

 

only this but does not say much, any idea guys, this server firmware was updated like 45 days ago.

 

The event occurred about 20:30 21:10 hours I am adding vmkernel.log

thanks a lott

 

This is from vmkwarning.log

Hi,

I get the following error:

PowerCLI から複数の vCenter に接続する方法。

$
0
0

PowerCLI でコマンドを実行するときには

あらかじめ Connect-VIServer コマンドレットで vCenter(もしくは ESXi)に接続します。

PowerCLI> Connect-VIServer vcenter55-2.vmad.local

※「-User」と「-Password」でユーザ/パスワードを指定することもできますが省略しています。

 

この Connect-VIServer を複数回実行するか、

もしくは vCenter のアドレスを「,」で区切って複数指定することで、

複数のサーバ(vCenter / ESXi) に同時接続してコマンド実行することが可能です。

※どちらの方法も、ユーザ/パスワードはサーバごとに入力することになります。

 

Connect-VIServer を複数回実行するコマンドライン例

vcenter55-2.vmad.local と vcenter51u1-2.vmad.local が接続先 vCenter のアドレスです。

PowerCLI> Connect-VIServer vcenter55-2.vmad.local

PowerCLI> Connect-VIServer vcenter51u1-2.vmad.local


接続先サーバを複数指定するコマンドライン例

※「-Server」は省略可のですが、わかりやすくするために付けてみました。

PowerCLI> Connect-VIServer -Server vcenter55-2.vmad.local,vcenter51u1-2.vmad.local

 

ちょっと強引なコマンドラインですが、

下記のような感じで、複数の vCenter に接続できたことが確認できます。

PowerCLI> Get-Datacenter | select @{N="VIServer";E={$_.Uid -replace ".*@|:443.*",""}} -Unique

 

VIServer

--------

vcenter55-2.vmad.local

vcenter51u1-2.vmad.local

 

PowerCLI の設定確認方法

 

複数サーバへの接続を許可するかどうかは、

PowerCLIの Connect-VIServer で初めて複数サーバに接続した時に質問されます。

下記の質問に 「Y」 を入力すると、複数サーバ接続ができるようになります。

powercli-Multiple-msg.png

PowerCLI C:\> Connect-VIServer vcenter55-2.vmad.local

 

 

Working with multiple default servers?

 

 

    Select [Y] if you want to work with more than one default servers. In this

case, every time when you connect to a different server using Connect-VIServer,

the new server connection is stored in an array variable together with the

previously connected servers. When you run a cmdlet and the target servers

cannot be determined from the specified parameters, the cmdlet runs against all

servers stored in the array variable.

    Select [N] if you want to work with a single default server. In this case,

when you run a cmdlet and the target servers cannot be determined from the

specified parameters, the cmdlet runs against the last connected server.

 

 

    WARNING: WORKING WITH MULTIPLE DEFAULT SERVERS WILL BE ENABLED BY DEFAULT

IN A FUTURE RELEASE. You can explicitly set your own preference at any time by

using the DefaultServerMode parameter of Set-PowerCLIConfiguration.

 

 

[Y] はい(Y)  [N] いいえ(N)  [S] 中断(S)  [?] ヘルプ (既定値は "Y"): Y

 

下記のように PowerCLI の設定を確認することで

複数サーバへ接続可能なモードかどうかを確認できます。

 

DefaultVIServerMode が「Multiple」となっていれば、複数サーバへ接続可能な状態です。

powercli-Multiple.png

ちょっと見にくいですが、下記のように表示されます。

PowerCLI> Get-PowerCLIConfiguration

 

Scope    ProxyPolicy     DefaultVIServerMode InvalidCertificateAction  DisplayDeprecationWarnings WebOperationTimeout

                                                                                                  Seconds

-----    -----------     ------------------- ------------------------  -------------------------- -------------------

Session  UseSystemProxy  Multiple            Unset                     True                       300

User                     Multiple

AllUsers

 

ちなみに、

この DefaultVIServerMode が Single になっていると、

複数台のvCenterに接続しようとしても、最後に接続したサーバのセッションだけが

有効になってしまいます。

 

DefaultVIServerMode = Multiple の設定方法

 

何らかの事情で

DefaultVIServerMode が Single になっている場合は、

下記のコマンドで Multiple(複数サーバへ接続可能なモード)に変更できます。

PowerCLI> Get-PowerCLIConfiguration

 

Scope    ProxyPolicy     DefaultVIServerMode InvalidCertificateAction  DisplayDeprecationWarnings WebOperationTimeout

                                                                                                  Seconds

-----    -----------     ------------------- ------------------------  -------------------------- -------------------

Session  UseSystemProxy  Single              Unset                     True                       300

User                     Single

AllUsers

 

 

PowerCLI> Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -DefaultVIServerMode Multiple -Scope User -Confirm:$false

 

Scope    ProxyPolicy     DefaultVIServerMode InvalidCertificateAction  DisplayDeprecationWarnings WebOperationTimeout

                                                                                                  Seconds

-----    -----------     ------------------- ------------------------  -------------------------- -------------------

Session  UseSystemProxy  Multiple            Unset                     True                       300

User                     Multiple

AllUsers

 

vCenter だけでなく、vCenter 管理されていない 無償版 ESXi へも複数接続できるので

PowerCLI でまとめて情報取得したい時などに同時接続すると便利だと思います。

 

以上、PowerCLI から複数台の vCenter に接続してみる話でした。

View Planner desktop template errors on setting up perfcounters

$

Hi,

 

I've run View Planner a few times before and had very little issue setting it up. However, this time around, in a new environment, when trying to add the perfcounters, I see the following error:

 

[root@ViewPlanner ViewPlanner]# python checkconfig.pyc perfcounter GoldenDesktop
/root/ViewPlanner/mysql_interface.py:17: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
/root/ViewPlanner/PySQLPool/PySQLPool/PySQLConnection.py:6: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

 

ERROR: Error in getting the VM GoldenDesktop from VC..please check again..

 

 

I can see the desktop template VM in vCenter and the vCenter login credentials I've given to View Planner are the same that I use to log in to vCenter through the vShpere Client and webClient. I've re-checked the datacenter name several times as well. I even moved the whole test environment to another vCenter server but still get the same error.

 

The environment is ESXi 5.1 cluster , vCenter appliance 5.1, ViewPlanner 3.0,  and a Windows 7 VM (hardware version 8). I'm just trying to configure a simple single-vm-local test.

 

Time is sync'ed between the ESXi servers, ViewPlanner VM, and Windows VM. The vCenter appliances are off a small amount (I'm trying to get the system owners to fix that).

 

I gave up and continued configuring the VM template with updates and workload support files. I'm assuming I can go back and add perfcounters at any time.

 

Thanks and regards


VCNS 5.5 - Endpoint 5.1?

$
0
0

Was running vSphere 5.1 with VCNS 5.1 running Endpoint.  No problems.

 

Upgraded vCenter etc. to 5.5 a while back, the first step of which (according to KB2057795) was to upgrade vShield manager.  Hosts (and thus Endpoint integration) still on 5.1.  No problems.

 

I've just moved my hosts to 5.5 this weekend (fresh installs, not upgrades), and have gone to install the Endpoint integration from vShield Manager, before then upgrading Tools etc.  However, vShield Manager (5.5.0a build 1473628) appears to only want to install vShield Endpoint 5.1.0-01255202.  It does, however, offer vShield App 5.5.0-1447281.

 

Is vShield Endpoint 5.1.0-01255202 the latest version, and the correct version for a vShield Manager 5.5.0a to be offering to 5.5 hosts?  Or have I done something wrong?

 

Thanks.

We have noticed that the client VMware-Horizon-View-Client-x86_64-2.3.0-1551379.exe installs as a 32bit application - it installs into the C:\Program Files (x86) and when you check task manager you can see its running as 32bit as well.

 

Anyone know why? The previous client version we used was under the old numbering and didnt have this issue - our application packagers are a bit confused by why its not installing as a 64bit app

Cost Benifit Analsys of a VCA?

$
0
0

I just went through the free "training" and it felt very sales oriented. Is it a sales certification? Or something for management?Its lumped in with the VCP like its a stepping stone, but from my experience there is a big gap between the VCA-DCV and VCP5-DCV. My boss expects me to have a VCP5 and MSCA by the end of the year(no pressure and no training time). After watching the VCA and some of the VCP5-DCV I feel like I am something missing between the two certifications. I get no financial gain from the more certifications just a better performance review. Should I just skip the VCA and concentrate on the VCP5-DCV? Is a VCA-DCV worth spending a $120 dollars on? How much would you pay for a VCA?

Problems ThinApp Browsers (Firefox and Chrome) with Java and Flash.

$

Hi,

 

I'm strugging with Browsers, Flash, Java, and getting things to work.

 

Information:

 

ThinApp 5.0

Firefox 27 and 28

Chrome 32, 33

Flash 12.0.0.77 (.44 and other previous versions as well)

Java 7.51  (and a few previous versions as well)

 

Whether I bake it into the browsers *OR* run through the process of applinking, it is not working properly.

 

In the case of Java:  When I go to a java test page (the java.com one, not one of the other unsigned ones on the net).  It either doesnt load the plugin, and/or crashes the browser (ThinApp Firefox or Chrome)

 

In the case with Flash, the Adobe test page seems to load fine.  Then one goes to youtube, and it seems all the adds play fine, but the ACTUAL youtube video plays 2 seconds and gives an error.  THis latter part ends up being a big issue, because there are alot of important in house training videos in youtube format (so it HAS to work).  For the life of me, I can not understand why the flash adds work no problem, but the "real" video crashes.

 

Same thing happens in Chrome (though I know it has a built in pepper flash, that has to be disabled otherwise it thinks flash is NOT installed....then l bake in or app link the other flash and get the same above behavior)

 

Again, it does not matter if it is baked in or app linked.  SAME behavior.

Hi laurent,

I have one curious question referencing web-client samples.

I am using chasis-app and chassis-service sample.

Suppose one thread running in the background in chassis-service  creates multiple Rack or chassis objects so whether the counts of Racks and chassis objects  will gets automatically updated in the UI in below screen or how it is notified to UI on this screen to update the counts.? .

(consider chassis or rack is my own custom objects)

ESXi inside KVM

$

Hello!

 

I wonder, if it is possible to run ESXi 5.0/5.1 inside KVM (proxmox) ?

 

I need to run few for testing purposes. I cannot setup any other virtualization software.

 

I need only ESXi itself, even without virtual machines inside it:)

 

Thanks!
