FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, a quick update on the newsletter and content. A few questions on how often the newsletter is sent. We try and get a newsletter out every 2 weeks unless an event is on such as VMworld for example, in which case we try for a weekly update or as appropriate. Sometimes we are forced to delay a newsletter so it may have a slightly irregular cadence but we will always do our best to get one to you as often as is possible.

Another question we are asked is on content and contributions. Anyone is able to contribute to the newsletter. We prefer pointers to a specific blog post or a specific blogger that we have missed and will always do our best, as appropriate to evaluate and include in the next newsletter, so please feel free to send us any content suggestions anytime.

This week I would like to draw your attention to the updated Skyline features. If you are not running Skyline, please take a look, discuss with your TAM/Account Team/Support Team and consider its use in your organization as we are constantly adding more features and improvements.

I wish you all a fantastic week ahead.

FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, by the time the next newsletter is out VMworld Europe in Barcelona will probably be in full swing. This is the premier VMware event in Europe and one that I am sure many of you are looking forward to. There will be many sessions from the VMworld US event as well as many others for this special event. In addition adding to the many announcements and keynote sessions from VMworld US, expect even more in the lead up and during VMworld Europe. Make sure you keep informed about the many different tracks and events here.

During VMworld US one of the key announcements was for Project Pacific, Kubernetes in vSphere. I have had many questions on this since the event from interested people due to the increasing popularity of Kubernetes as a technology. If you are looking for more information on this I suggest heading over to the blog post by Joe Beda here as well as the Project Pacific landing page here. In addition to this you should also read about VMware Tanzu, Modern Application architecture, here, also announced at VMworld US.

Don't forget that all of the content from VMworld US is available on the VMworld website. I wish you all a fantastic week ahead and planning your VMworld Europe trip if you are attending.

DVD Writer shows as CD-ROM

$

Hello All,

 

I'm having hard time with getting DVD Writer to work on our instant clones. I have barely couple of users that need it however it is critical for their job to be able to burn DVDs. THe problem I'm seeing is that whenever I plug in the DVD writer, Windows sees it as CD-ROM and of course they cannot burn to it. We are on Horizon 7.8, VMtools 11, vcenter6.7, AppVolumes 2.16 and Window 1809LTSC. If I take the DVD writer and plug it in to physical machine running the same OS it shows up properly.

 

Did anyone of you encountered a problem like that?

CockroachDB cluster issue

iam facing some issue while launching cockroachdb cluster

 

There seems to be an issue with the certificates created by Kubernetes and the database cluster instances not being able to connect to each other.

 

The instructions for setting up the cluster at https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/tree/master/cloud/kubernetes#secure-mode-1

The manifest used is essentially this one https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/blob/master/cloud/kubernetes/cockroachdb-statefulset-secure.yaml

After approving the certificates (kubectl certificate approve ...) the logs indicate to certificate verification problems:

W191003 12:56:16.46494185 vendor/google.golang.org/grpc/clientconn.go:1304 grpc: addrConn.createTransport failed to connect to{cockroachdb-0.cockroachdb:262570<nil>}.Err:connection error: desc ="transport: authentication handshake failed: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of \"crypto/rsa: verification error\" while trying to verify candidate authority certificate \"ca\")".Reconnecting...

This manifest works just fine in  GCP. Appreciate help or fixing this issue.

Convivenza di host con versione diversa esxi e vcenter

Salve ..un chiarimento ...

ho un server hp gen 10 dl360 dove potrei installare l'ultima release di esxi vsphere 6.7 u3 , questo dovrebbe entrare in una farm dove esistono già due altri host ma con esxi 5.5  che potrei , come da specifiche HP e Vmware portare alla versione 6.0 u3 , la domanda è se ci sono controindicazioni nel tenere due versioni diverse o mi converrebbe fare un downgrade alla 6.0 anche del server nuovo .

Join an existing sso or create a new one

Hello,

I am working with an inherited vsphere/vcenter 6.0 environment running a view 6.2 environment. We are looking to get up to date by going to a VCSA 6.7, ESXi 6.7, and horizon 7 environment. Because the environment is inherited, and the people who set it up aren't here any longer, we are planning to stand up a new environment and migrate over to it. The existing environment has an SSO domain and an integrated PSC, so should I join the new VCSA to the existing SSO, or create a new one? I'm planning on using an integrated PSC on the new VCSA too.


Keyboard stops working in a locked VM, mouse input keeps working

$

My VM Workstation 15 Pro (15.5.0 build-14665864) randomly stops accepting keyboard input when the guest VM is locked.

 

I run a few server VMs from my Windows 10 host, with the enhanced keyboard driver installed.

All VMs have up-to-date VMWare Tools installed.

 

My host keyboard is a standard Lenovo USB keyboard (wired, not wireless).

 

Occasionally, when I need to log into one of these VMs, the keyboard does not work on the login screen.

 

I can click the Ctrl-Alt-Del icon to signal the guest to prompt for a login. The mouse works within the VM, but the keyboard does not.

 

The keyboard is does work in other VMs as usual.

 

But once a VM stops responding to the keyboard, the only way to bring back the keyboard is:

  • Launch an RDP session to the VM
  • Log in via RDP
  • Log out via RDP
  • Now I can log in using the VMWare Workstation view.

 

It's a pretty frustrating experience. I have seen this on Workstation Pro 12 as well (I upgraded to 15 Pro, and while the problem occurs less frequently, it still rears its head a few times a week).

Resource Pools

$

Hey all,

 

What is the official stance on resource pools in VCF?  They don't seem to be configured to do anything in terms of true tuning of shares, so maybe they are just in case the consolidated model is desired?  If that's that case, they can just be deleted and/or not used right?  If there are no plans for contention in the management domain, they seem unnecessary.

 

TIA!

Upgrade

Hello Experts,

 

 

Is it possible in anyway to convert the external PSC to an embeded PSC. I am planning to upgrade from vCenter (Appliance ) version 6.5 U1 to 6.7 U3. I also understand that converge tool is avaialable for this task but it is avaiable from version 6.5 u2d and later. And, seems all the articles I read - say that external PSC cannot be converted to embeded PSC before version 6.5 u2d. Is this right?

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Cheers.

Best way to export VMs from VMware

$

Hi folks.

 

I'm on a task where it's required, that I migrate some virtual machines from an ESXi environment over to a Hyper-V cluster.

I have been searching for options to migrate servers from within the vSphere web client, but the only options I can find, is the options to either move the virtual machines to other hardware or hosts within the vSphere setup/ domain.

 

Is there a way to simply export a virtual machine/ VHDX directly, so that it can be attached on a Hyper-V server?

 

Best regards
