Re: How do I disable IPv6 in ESXi 6.5?

0

I used

esxcli network ip set --ipv6-enabled=false

 

and it worked a treat

Please bring back the console with all functionality.  At least until you can fix the bugs with the web administration and Flash and get it to load faster, fix the not able to type bug, and generally make it a usable product.  Or is this still in beta?

Re: vCenter 6.5 permissions not applying to Active Directory Groups

It sounds like you´re using Distribution groups in AD instead of Security groups. You need to be using SECURITY groups for this.

I was able to get a terminal session into the Skyline appliance and I did a grep on the /var/log/skyline/collector.log and the only reference to the domain is the account used to authenticate into the vCenters.

 

I do not see the failed login attempt in the log.

Internet Sharing over VMWare Adapter

0
0

Hello,

 

I have installed VMWare Fusion into my MacOS High Sierra 10.13. It's created two virtual network Adapter called vmnet1 and vmnet8. But I can't find how to share my MacOS internet connection (from Wi-Fi) through those adapter with my VMWare guest machine. Under Internet Sharing Menu in System Preferences, there is no option for vmnet1 or vmnet8. My Wi-Fi adapter shows as en0 with 'ifconfig' command. So I actually want to share Internet connection of en0 inteface (wi-fi) with vmnet1 or vmnet8 interface.

 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Add USB Device grayed out in ESXi 6.7

I SSH'd to the ESXi server and ran the following command which showed that the USB device was connected but also showed that the usbarbitrator service wasn't running.

 

esxcli hardware usb passthrough device list

 

I forgot that I was forced to disable this service when I first setup the server in order for ESXi to recognize an attached USB Hard Drive as a Datastore.  I re-enabled the service to run temporarily by using the command below.

 

/etc/init.d/usbarbitrator start

Minimum priveleges needed for a service account to take VM snapshots

0
0

Hello,

 

We have a request for a service account to be able to take and manage snapshots on a particular cluster.

 

We want to create a new role for this.

 

Looking at the vmware documentation, it looks like the service account will need the following permissions:

datastore.allocate space  - on the datastore

snapshot management  - on the vm or folder

 

Are there any other permissions needed in order to accomplish this ?

 

Thanks!

 

Best Regards,

 

Tom

getAllVirtualMachines problems

0
0

In troubleshooting another workflow that takes hours to complete, I created a simple workflow that takes an sdkConnection as an input, and does a getAllVirtualMachines().

 

VMs is an Array/VC:VirtualMachine here, output to an attribute:

VMs = sdk.getAllVirtualMachines();
System.debug(VMs.length + " VMs found.");

 

This logs the length of the array in a second or two, but then the VMs attribute remains undefined, with the vco server load average ramping up, and server.log spamming this for seemingly every VM:

 

2018-06-15 11:36:05.434-0500 [taskExecutor-8] ERROR {} [ObjectUpdateParser] assign disabledMethod -> VirtualMachine::vm-54649
2018-06-15 11:36:05.434-0500 [taskExecutor-8] ERROR {} [ObjectUpdateParser] Ignore error and continue with others updates
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot find managedMethod with name: MountToolsInstallerImage        at com.vmware.o11n.plugin.vsphere.pc.ObjectUpdateParser.applyProperyChange(ObjectUpdateParser.java:65)        at com.vmware.o11n.plugin.vsphere.pc.ObjectUpdateParser.processObjectUpdate(ObjectUpdateParser.java:112)        at com.vmware.o11n.plugin.vsphere.pc.CacheUpdate.processUpdateSet(CacheUpdate.java:110)        at com.vmware.o11n.plugin.vsphere.pc.CacheUpdate$UpdateSetHandler.nextUpdateSet(CacheUpdate.java:171)        at com.vmware.o11n.plugin.vsphere.pc.CacheUpdate.run(CacheUpdate.java:66)        at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142)        at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617)        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

 

It eventually threw this in the vco client:

 

[2018-06-15 10:56:06.041] [D] 2541 VMs found.

[2018-06-15 11:00:28.113] [E] Workflow:Get all virtual machines / Scriptable task (item1) : ch.dunes.model.type.ConvertorException: Unable to convert object, 'Stub: moRef = (ManagedObjectReference: type = VirtualMachine, value = vm-704346, serverGuid = null), binding =https://fqdn.com/sdk' plugin exception reason : convertToResult() --> Finder 'VC:VirtualMachine' : unexpected error 'ch.dunes.model.sdk.SDKFinderException: convertToResult() --> Finder 'VC:VirtualMachine' : unable to invoke read method : 'name''

 

Is this supposed to work? I think the error in the client is because a VM was deleted mid-way through the run?

I'm pretty sure they aren't but I've used them before. I found one really old powerpoint on the ruby commands and that was all.

Re: Options for deploying a vCenter VM template (stored in content library) to VMWare WorkStation Pro VM

Yes with vmware workstation you can connect to vcenter, I do it with my home lab all the time. They keep adding features, like in workstation 14 they added these

 

  • ESXi Host Power Operations
    The following ESXi power operations can now be performed from Workstation 14 Pro:
    • Shutdown
    • Restart
    • Enter/Exit Maintenance Mode

VMware Workstation 14 Pro Release Notes

 

I'm not sure about the template part though. If you need something from that template I think you may need to deploy it to temp vm and then download it with workstation.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the details. I may not be able to update you today, since I need to check with the internal team and resolve any issues in the back end. But will try to get it done as soon as possible.
