Re: VMware 5.1 VM with large RDM - options to get VM into Vcenter 6.0 system?

$
0
0

Due to unforseen circumstances we had to cancel our conversion, but we ran a test instead.

 

We used our SAN to create a copy of the 9 TB LUN/RDM.

We attached that copy to a test VM in Vcenter v5.5

We used a cold storage vmotion to convert the RDM to a thin-provisioned VMDK.

The data traversed a 10GB fibre link, but our old SAN is limited to 4 GB fibre channel (due to old Cisco switch), whilst new SAN has 10 GB links.  Basically we're limited to a 4 GB fibre channel speed.

 

The RDM only had 3.13 TB of used space (just an FYI).

 

The conversion took 17 hours.

 

In case anyone is wondering.

Check if it's caused by power management

 

You can try if the following steps work around the issue

1. Go to device manager on the host

2. Right click on the failing device

3. Click on the 'Power Management' tab

4. Uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power

 

If the above does not work for you, try connect the device to one of the back pane ports which usually directly connect to the root hub and has sufficient power

vSphere Web Client SDK 6.5 error when accessing the web client through local host

$

I have been working through the documentation for the setup of VMware 6.5 Web Client SDK and am currently trying to get the hello world plug-in working. I finally got the virgo server to start, but when I try to access the web client from local host I get the following error:

 

This site can’t be reached

 

localhost unexpectedly closed the connection.

Try:

Checking the connection

Checking the proxy and the firewall

Running Network Diagnostics

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

 

I also received the same error message with the fire wall disabled. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into this?

 

Best,

Eric

Hi,

 

Is this PowerShell version 5.1? We are aware of the incompatibility issue of current vRO PowerShell plug-in with version 5.1 of PowerShell, and we are working on a fix. Hopefully, an updated plug-in build will be released soon.

 

BTW, we have some customers reporting that this issue is not reproducible with the latest Windows versions (Windows 10/Windows Server 2016); only Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 and older versions are affected.

Were the hosts connected to this vCenter at any time? Or another vCenter?

 

Are you able to ping the Host(s) form the vCenter Appliance console?

 

Let me know if this is the right direction for your issue.

No need to use a Switch, unless your Datastore selection options depend on the remote office selection.

If not, you could do something along these lines.

If there is more logic involved to determine the New-VM parameters, you will have to build in that logic.

Note that the New-VM cmdlet at the end is not complete.

Try something like this

 

Get-Datastore-Name (Get-Contentdatastores.txt) |%{

    $esx=Get-View-Id$_.ExtensionData.host[0]

    $storSys=Get-View-Id$esx.ConfigManager.StorageSystem

    $storSys.UnmountVmfsVolume($ds.ExtensionData.Info.vmfs.uuid)

}

Hi All,

 

After RDM resize, below script still shows the old size but in the guest, I can see the new size capacity.

 

RDM is presented as Physical currently

 

Get-VM db1 | Get-HardDisk | where {"RawPhysical","RawVirtual" -contains $_.DiskType} | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name,CapacityGB,ScsiCanonicalName

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Does it keep giving the old size?

Normally the datastore info is updated on an interval, did you check after a couple of minutes?

New size doesnt show in cli or report. But when I login to the VM, I can see

Hi Roger,

 

We have been using Appsense but have been having some issues with its ability to capture everything in the user profile or its ability to import back. Also, with Appsense, we have to remove the registry entries (group and member ID) from the gold image every time we power up. Also, not liking the support provided by Appsense (Ivanti).

 

We are testing VMware UEM and so far it is looking very good. You can get UEM as a standalone solution as well.
