Re: vCACCAFEResourceElement -> Destroy

What we do is create two entitlements; one for users and one for administrators (including our service account).

 

We remove the Destroy action from the User entitlement and replace it with Custom Destroy. The vRO workflow initiated by the custom destroy will call the native Destroy using the service account (which is configured to run the vCACCAFE:Host connection) as it is still entitled to the native action.

 

Our use case wasn't the same as yours though. We actually needed to remove Destroy from machine components to stop people breaking multi-machine deployments. We swapped out Destroy for Cloud.Machine and Virtual.Machine with a custom action called Destroy Deployment that was just a wrapper for figuring out the root deployment resource and calling the native destroy for it. Users themselves were still entitled to Destroy at the deployment level.

 

As I mentioned in the other thread, you've really only got those three options.

Re: Waiting Timer isn't resuming (perhaps after restart)

I don't know if they ever got improvements but I believe the waiting events have always potentially had issues in clustered vRO's, as they operate from their own independent rabbitmq queues.

 

I think you'd be better off recording the VMs/dates somewhere (vRO or externally) and running a process every X time (e.g., once per day or once per hour) that processes the list and destroys as appropriate.

Is there a way to track unfinished Actions?

I am using vRO 7.5 in this environment.

 

For example.

 

If I write an action that executes something that takes 2 hours (example only, I hopfully wouldnt ever do this )

This action is run by a workflow, then say the workflow either fails or is cancelled, is there a way to list anything that may not have completed yet?

 

I want to make sure there is nothing taking up resources when it is no longer valid.

 

Thanks all!

 

Cheers

Not sure if I can follow ?

That question was already by Andre - you reported that the attempt failed.

But reading the details I have too assume you made a mistake when you tried it.

With all info I have seen so fat simply setting

scsi0:1.present = "false"

should do the trick.

I am not surprised at all that you cant expand this vmdk via the UI.

At the moment change block tracking is active while it is declared as very old virtual hardware.

It uses the optional

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"

which contradicts the IDE-geometry

ddb.geometry.cylinders = "2130500"

ddb.geometry.heads = "16"

ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"

The size of the flat.vmdk is not alligned to full MBs

which may be another reason why the UI cant expand it:

RW 2147543103 VMFS "DCROWN-flat.vmdk"

size in MBs = 1048605.030761719

To expand this vmdk stop the active backup job and delete all ctk.vmdks.

Then remove ctk-entries from the vmx and use this vmdk descriptor:

# Disk DescriptorFile

version=1

CID=12345678

parentCID=ffffffff

isNativeSnapshot="no"

createType="vmfs"

 

# Extent description

RW 2147543040 VMFS "DCROWN-flat.vmdk"

 

# The Disk Data Base

#DDB

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"

ddb.geometry.cylinders = "133678"

ddb.geometry.heads = "255"

ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"

ddb.virtualHWVersion = "8"

 

If I had to expand this vmdk I would use dd and write a new descriptor.

Meaning theoretically 64 in a standard sddc via JSON, correct?  I understand no mgmt domain in a standard sddc would have that many, I was just trying to confirm more than 4.  I’ll try to test it and let you all know the outcome.

No luck. setting scsi0:1.present = "false"

I'm guessing it's the same as what andre asked me to do by delete the lines referencing to scdi0:1 drive

 

Result stil the same: Unable to enumerate all disks.

 

Thanks anyway.

 

What I dont understand is that having all the files for this vm hd1 I'm unable to mount it.

I'm starting to think that even if I recover the missin flat file the result will be the same.

Unable to enumerate all disks.

 

Thanks both for the time and help

Root Password Not Recognized, Even After Change

December 17, 2019, 5:26 pm

Hello,

 

I have a VMware ESXi 6.5 host on which I cannot access the root account. Each time I attempt to login, either via the Web interface or via SSH, it tells me that the password is incorrect.

 

Fortunately, I do have another user with admin access on the machine, so I can still get in. If I log in as that user, and then reset the root user's password, it appears to work, but I am still unable to login as root. This is true whether I reset it via the Web interface or via the shell with the passwd command.

 

No matter what I do, it tells me that the password for the root account is incorrect.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Re: NSX vxlan-VTEP and controller communication

Hi Sreec,

 

so actually controller keeps a full mac arp table and vteps will only keep their local mac arp tables.

when hosts in vtep1 wants to hosts in other vteps, vtep will also communicate to control first and control will reply with the host detail.

you mentioned controller will eventually populate the arp and mac table back to vteps via report, is this the way how controller reports back to vtep?

 

also, for instance, vm1 in vtep1 wants to speak to vm2 in vtep2 and controller has already replied vtep for vm2's detail.

I believe at this stage vtep1 will save vm2's mac and arp details locally.

 

（save vm2 locally after querying with controller）

  |

vtep1-----------------vtep2--------controller

|                              |

vm1                        vm2

 

how long will vtep1 keeps this detail in mac and arp table??

say after hours if vm1 wants to speak to vm2 again, willl vtep1 query controller again ??

or if vm2 is offline, how will vtep1 knows about it ??

 

Appreciate your patience and your precious time!

Regards

Michael

I would suggest the following (without knowing your specific requirements):

 

vSwitch 0: 2 x 10 GbE interfaces, Management and vMotion. vmnic0 active for Management; vmnic1 standby. Opposite for vMotion.

Virtual Distributed Switch: 2 x 10 GbE interfaces, no LACP, route based on physical NIC load. All VM networks.

Re: намертво зависает виртуальная машина

Добрый день всем жителям.

Ну вот возвращаемся к прежней теме.

Были произведены следующие работы:

1.Обновлен vCenter до последнего обновления для 6.0

2. Обновлен хост с зависающим сервером до версии vmware 6.0 U3 от 09,2019

3. Обновлены Firmware на железо сервера в частности: Bios, дискового контроллера, iLo

Но прошивку дискового контроллера пришлось вернуть прежнюю, по причине не понятной после обновления прошивки система не хотела видеть 5 дисков из 24 (и соответственно не стартовали виртуальные машины.)

после обновления сервер проработал 17 дней в нормальном режиме, все было отлично, хотел уже сюда отписаться что все работает, НО.....

тут пришел нежданчик, опять мертвое зависание виртуалки на хосте и опять что бы виртуалку оживить пришлось грузить весть хост через iLo.

файлик vmkernel.log прилагаю, сам смотрел его - походу система ругается на тот же диск что и раньше.

Подскажите направление пожалуйста. возможно такое что при обновлении хоста не все драйвера обновились или в обновлении не было каких то конкретных обновлений. Обновлялся с кустомной сборки для серверов HP от 09/2019
