VCSA 6.0 VMware Content Library Service

$
0
0

It seems as though the Content Library Service has up and vanished from my vCenter Services. I created a content library back in April. I went to delete and add an online library I built and it wouldn't work. I dug around and did some homework and found where the core services were. I used a BASH shell command to try and start it. I figured it wouldn't work, but here is what it spit back.

 

Has anyone had issues with their content library before?

Access to VCSA through SSH and/or local console is NOT working. Help!

$

Hello,

 

It's been hours I try to connect to vcsa through ssh or even on the local console. It is activated on the DCUI of vcsa. My password is correct since I can access the DCUI but I can't access either with ssh (access denied) or with the local console.

 

On the local console, I have nothing written, it send me back to the prompt again and again. If I use a wrong password, it tells me that my login is incorrect.

 

I tried to restart vcsa, turning off and on ssh but nothing is working. If someone has an idea...

 

I even try to change my password but it didn't help. I also checked if DCUI may be bugged but on the vsphere web client, ssh is also shown as on.


Thank you a lot for your help !

PSC 6.5 SSL custom cert replacement rolls back at last stage

Replacing external PSC 6.5 U1 with Microsoft CA certs - they comprise of an Intermediate and Root CA.

All goes well until the very last stage where Services can't start successfully.

 

Console error will say:

Checking the certificate-manager.log, I find that there are services that fail to start due to a timeout:

There was a KB with something similar but this isn't an error while publishing cert using dir-cli.

Anyone seen this before?

vCenter 6 'Empty Inventory' due to permissions

$
0
0

I have a fully functional, completely working vCenter 6 environment. Admin users can log in and see the entire inventory, as they're supposed to.

 

However, I have a number of business users that need restricted permissions in a subfolder in the inventory. I have added a new role to vCenter with the permissions they need, and applied that role for that user to the specific subfolder.

Now: those users are not supposed to see any other folders in the inventory tree above of on the same level in the tree, just their own folder.

Before I upgraded to vCenter 6 (appliance), I had it working fine. With vCenter 6, this model broke: the users only see the 'empty inventory' text in the 'VMs and Templates' view.

 

Weird thing is: when that same user browses to 'vCenter Inventory Lists', clicks 'Virtual Machines', he sees his own (and only his own) VM and can interact with it in accordance with his permissions.

So it seems there's a new permission needed in vCenter to see only that part of the Inventory tree applicable to a specific user, but I (1) haven't found that permission yet and (2) wouldn't even know to which object in the tree to assign the permission

 

Any thoughts?

vCenter Server 6.5 503 Service Unavailable and don't see vSphere Web client service

All -

I installed vCenter Server 6.5 successfully a few months ago and it was working fine. Now I get this error in a web browser:

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::NamedPipeServiceSpec:0x000000a052fbb510] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =\\.\pipe\vmware-vpxd-webserver-pipe) .

 

I have seen many people referring to the vSphere Web Client Service but just do not see that as an installed service. Event logs show nothing. All vmware

services are running. Also an ODBC connection to the SQL server tests okay.

 

What happened???

I've tried to install different versions of the CIP (obtained from the link from within vCenter --> About, from VMware website), and have also tried installing plugin by the direct installer (extracted from the parent installer), can't seem to get anything to work.

 

Also can't find any recent threads on this, only from a while ago. (I can't be the only one!)

Some VMs not showing in vcenter

I have two host running ESXi 5.0 which I have succesfully added to my vcenter (5.0 client and server).  However one of the hosts is missing 3 vm's from its inventory.  I can connect directly to the ESXi 5.0 server and see all vm's running.  I am sure it is not coincidence that these three servers are my only linux servers (canned Squid proxy servers).

 

1) I stopped and started the Vcenter server services.  same results.

2) I have removed and readded the host. same results, but I do want to note that during the add process I did see that all servers showed in the list of vm's running on the host.

 

Thanks for any help!

vsphere appliance log size

Hi,

 

How can I limit specific logging in vsphere server appliance?

 

For instance i have the default /storage/log 10G partition with almost 1G in /storage/log/vmware/vsphere-client/logs/access/.

Those are uncompressed .txt files dating back from almost a year ago.

Shouldn't there be logrotate and compression in place??

 

I already followed the KB#2143565 and loosened the sso logs. Is there a similar config for vsphere-client logging?

 

There are also other massive logs:

Why does template customization make the NIC disconnected??

$
0
0

I've been testing template customization with a Win2k3 Enterprise 'gold' template.

Every time I deploy from this template, the newly created VM does not have its NIC set to connect at power on.

How do I fix this??

It does not seem to matter which kind of NIC -- flexible or enhanced vmxnet.

Having to reset the settings every time sort of ruins the whole idea of templates deployment.

 

VC 2.5 u4 and ESX 3.5 u3 -- VIC running on Vista...initial testing seemed to work, but today the NICs won't connect...

 

Thank you, Tom

Can't delete files of destroyed VM

Hi!

 

I have a problem deleting some files of an already destroyed virtual machine. This is what I get when attempting to delete the folder:

The files are located on a LUN shared by seven ESX 3.02 Servers. What can I do to find out which process/system is locking those files? And how can I finally remove this folder?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

When we remove the snapshot the vm freeze for about 30second (no Ping no RDP)

 

Have anyone the same issue?

I have try to install a new clean server 2008 r2 but have the same problem.

Maximum latency between vCenter and ESXi hosts

Hi,

 

We want to install a single vCenter server (6.0 U2a) that will manage ESXi hosts from multiple datacenters around the world.

We will Create a datacenter and cluster for each "physical" datacenter.

 

My question is, what is the maximum latency allowed between the vCenter and ESXi hosts?

vCenter Server Appliance High Availability - passive DOWN

$
0
0

Hi

I'm currently testing VCSA HA in a lab and I am seeing the following situation.

When I initiate a manual failover everything works fine and the Passive vCenter server becomes the active server and the old active server becomes the passive server. I can also fail back all fine.

However, when I simulate an uncontrolled failure of the active vCenter instance (eg power off the vm) the failover works fine, but the failed vCenter instance fails to rejoin the cluster when powered back up. This has happened every time I have done this.

Is it common for the VCHA cluster to need to be destroyed and recreated after such a failure as I see this is quite a common way to remediate issues?

 

I'd like to troubleshoot this scenario rather than just to rebuild the cluster each time, but I'm not sure where to look.

 

If I log into the vCenter server that is failing to rejoin the cluster (the passive node) I can run the Service-Control --status --all command and I notice that not many service are running. Is anyone able to tell me which services should be running on the passive node? In particular should vmware-vcha be running? as when I try to start this it returns the response that the service type is not set to automatic and skips it.

From the VCHA monitoring screen, it shoes me the Active and Witness nodes as 'UP' and the passive as 'DOWN' and suggests I check the passive node is online and accessible over the heartbeat network and I can ping the passive node from the active node all ok using the heartbeat ip address. It then says to check the replication is ok - how do I do this? I can see the vmware-postgres service is running (I had to start this manually) but what more can I do to check the replication is in synch.

 

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated. I'm most keen to understand what services should be running on the passive as I feel this is going to be the issue.

 

kind regards

ESXi host disconnects intermittently from vCenter Server Appliance

In "cluster" VMware enable HA with DRS, constantly experience disconnection of the "hosts" of vcenter servers appliance

 

 

Versions of Vsphere 6.5 8294253

vcenter appliance 6.5.0.13000

 

 

Add the parameter

config.vpxd.heartbeat.notRespondingTimeout = 120

 

 

Restart the vcenter services, considering this link

 

 

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1005757

 

 

However, you continue to experience the disconnection of the hosts of vcenter servers

Attached picture that our Server Calfaquen disconnection, but the event occurs with all servers

 

I would appreciate your support

Sincerely,

Paul
