Problem creating a new VM through the vSphere API

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I'm using the following (quick draft )python code to try to create a VM:

[Python] import atexit from pyVim import connect from pyVmomi import vim import - Pastebin.com

 

But it does not work. The server response after uploading the disk is:

'Not a supported disk format (invalid sparse VMDK header)'

 

Which is really strange, because I'm uploading a vmdk file that was generated by the server itself (when I created a new VM through the vSphere client), so it should really be valid. (I added the vmdk file as an attachment)

 

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Best backup solution for VMware ESXi?

$

What would be the best backup solution for VMware ESXi? I do not

necessarily want a live replication but I want to have image level

backup for my vms (stored on NAS). In case of a disaster, I can recover

that from the image backup quickly.

 

I have about 60 vms.

 

Is Veeam the best choice? They seem to ask $500/socket, which will cause a substantial investment for me.

ESXi 6.5 - Video Card Questions

$
0
0

Hey all,

 

I'm running into an issue with a particular application installed on a VM. The application is somewhat data intensive when its loading particular site maps for a particular region for the client. I thought maybe adding additional video card memory to the particular VM would help increase the performance but had some questions as we typically don't modify this value when building VM's. Our typical setup leaves total video card memory at 8 MB, with 3D graphics disabled, 3D Renderer set to Auto, and 3D memory set to 256 mb. (Host is a Dell R620/R630) Here are my questions:

 

1. If we allocate more video memory, let say 64 MB or more, how exactly does this work?There isn't a dedicated graphics card installed on this host, so where is this pulling from?

2. While adding these additional resources, does this pull from already allocated resources to the VM (like RAM) or does this pull overhead from somewhere else?

3. Anything I should be mindful of before increasing? Would this have any adverse affects?

 

Thanks for the help!

Adding Datastore from old environment

$

Hello,

I am migrating all of my VMs from our old 4.5 and 5.0 hosts to our new 6.5 hosts.

For the most part I have been able to use VMWare Converter and migrate them to the new environment. I have a few VMs that the VMConverter will not work on.

 

 

If I add the old storage SAN to the new 6.5 host can I then add a datastore that points to the volume where the old VMs resided and then power down the VM and then add to library on the new host or will this delete the information on that datastore?

 

Thanks,

port mirror to which port IDS VM is connected to?

$

in a home lab running ESXi 6.7 i have a SecurityOnion VM running. i want to port mirror my pfsense FW from its connection to a managed netgear switch (jgs524 v2)  to the SecurityOnion VM.

 

i have 6 LAN ports on the ESXi host...one 2-port card and one 4-port card. one port on ESXi motherboard is the management port. all 7 ports connect to same netgear switch.

 

when i mirror the pfsense port i'm trying to figure out what destination port on netgear switch to use so that gets to the SecurityOnion VM.

Slow transfer rate between datastores (copy or move)

$

Hello,

 

I just did a fresh install of ESXI 6.7 on my home lab server. (i7 2600 on intel motherboard)
The VMs are running fine, all stored on SSD.

 

I wanted to make a backup of the VMs from the SSD on a WD 1TB drive and the transfer is extremely slow.
For example, a Windows 10 VM thin provisioned that use actually about 30 GB took more than 2 hours.
I did the copy with the datastore management.

 

Is that any normal?

 

I remember on ESXI 5.5 the transfer was way more quicker.

 

 

Exact setup is:
- intel i7 2600
- motherboard intel DZ77GA-70K

- Samsung 860 EVO SSD and WD Blue 1To (both VMFS 6)
- Both drives connected to the same sata controller (intel one)

 

 

Thanks a lot for the help, and have a nice day!

A snippet from the NFS 4.1 RFC has this to say about RECLAIM_COMPLETE  (RFC 5661 - NFS Version 4 Minor Version 1 - Page 567)

Whenever a client establishes a new client ID and before it does the

  first non-reclaim operation that obtains a lock, it MUST send a

  RECLAIM_COMPLETE with rca_one_fs set to FALSE, even if there are no

  locks to reclaim. If non-reclaim locking operations are done before

  the RECLAIM_COMPLETE, an NFS4ERR_GRACE error will be returned.

 

 

  Similarly, when the client accesses a file system on a new server,

  before it sends the first non-reclaim operation that obtains a lock

  on this new server, it MUST send a RECLAIM_COMPLETE with rca_one_fs

  set to TRUE and current filehandle within that file system, even if

  there are no locks to reclaim. If non-reclaim locking operations are

  done on that file system before the RECLAIM_COMPLETE, an

  NFS4ERR_GRACE error will be returned.


I ran a capture during the mount which shows that the ESXi host sent a RECLAIM_COMPLETE with rca_one_fs set to FALSE, later it sends another RECLAIM_COMPLETE with rca_one_fs set to TRUE and a filehandle specified.  This looks like the correct behavior.

first-reclaim.png  second-reclaim.png

Last of all, back in the RFC is this little tidbit:

RECLAIM_COMPLETE should only be done once for each server instance or

  occasion of the transition of a file system. If it is done a second

  time, the error NFS4ERR_COMPLETE_ALREADY will result. Note that

  because of the session feature's retry protection, retries of

  COMPOUND requests containing RECLAIM_COMPLETE operation will not

  result in this error.

 

The screenshots also appear to show that both RECLAIM_COMPLETE operations are COMPOUND, so it seems to me that ESXi is doing what it is supposed to do, but the NFS server is sending back an error when it shouldn't which is causing the host to fall back to read-only access mode.

 

Any input from the wider community?  Happy to be stood corrected! 

Eesxicli cd can't cd to /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

Hello

 

I have a single ESXi 5.5 server that needs a security patch. I have uploaded the patch onto the local datastore and want to install it via CLI. I have followed VMware's instructions on this but I get stuck at check the directory. cd can't cd to /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

 

I can get to /vmfs/volumes but not any further down the directory, I was thinking it might be a permissions issue? I'm not a Linux expert tbh.

 

I would use VUM but we have been having issues so I just need it quickly updated via the CLI, any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks


why can't I change port group?

$
0
0

I have ESXi 6.5, no vCenter. I created like 5 port groups. I was having trouble getting network connectivity with the one that I attached a VM vNIC to; so, I tried to change the port group to test another one, but the drop down only has one port group available. What's going on there?

I have 3 vSwitches. Two are each teamed to two uplink ports and the third has only one uplink port. There are one or more port groups connected to each vSwitch.

I created a new port group to test and then I could change to that port group. So, why are the others not showing up in the VM edit drop down?

Whats the most important spec when running VMs on a NAS box?

$

I want to buy a NAS box for a home lab. Either QNAP or Synology or any of the other low end brands. I'll connect it to an ESXi server using iSCSI.

What is the one  spec I should be looking for, so I would have adequate speed when running the VMs on the NAS?

 

So far I was looking for "iSCSI write to target" speeds here

Is this the spec I should be looking for? I won't have many VMs. Maybe 10 or 15, and they won't be really writing all the time.

 

So what's important when running VMs on a NAS? What's the most important spec I should be looking for?

Unable to clone VMs. An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine.

When I try to clone VMs I get "An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. VssSyncStart operation failed. Dispatch error #8449 (0x80042301)." On VMs when running command "vssadmin list writers" I get "inconsistent shadow copy" under System Writer. We have shadow copy completely disabled on all disks. How is this even possible if VSS is disabled on all disks? When I go to services.msc and restart Cryptographic Services there are no more errors on running "vssadmin list writers" command. But when I try to make clone of VM again - clone fails and the error appear again. We use ESXi, 6.5.0, 9298722. Version of VMWare tools is 10.2.1.8267844. OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows server 2008 R2. How to bring System Writer in to working mode? Why System Writer is not working correctly when there are no shadow copies configured for any disk?
