Installing Windows vCenter 5.5 along side a VCSA 5.5 install

August 4, 2014, 10:48 am

I am having a very strange issue that I cannot seem to resolve.

 

Current System:

Running VCSA 5.5

 

Future system

Windows vCenter 5.5

 

Right now I have a environment that is running the vCenter Appliance. Due to growth in the system and the overly priced Oracle suite, it has been decided that we will move to the windows install of vCenter. No matter the version of windows I try to install vCenter on (2008 R2 and 2012 R2) it always fails out at the same point (VMwareVCMSDS failed: AD LDS setup did not complete because one or more LDIF files could not be imported).

 

I am running the install as a Service Account which has full access to the SQL server and is a Domain Administrator.

 

I am starting to believe the issue might be the Fact that I already have a vCenter 5.5 running in the environment, but I cannot confirm. Has anyone else ran into this and found a solution?

It must be some setting with the NIC.

 

Do you notice anything different if you run the below command on the working nic and the "faulty" one?

 

Esxcli network nic get -n "nic name"

 

Also network nic stats get -n

Have you changed the stub workflows to execute using vCO? The easiest way to do that is to go to your vCO server, go the workflow library, then navigate to vCloud Automation Center -> Infrastructure Administration -> Extensibility -> Install vCO Customization. Run that against your vCAC IaaS Host, and it'll convert the workflow references to execute against vCO.

That custom property should simply be hostname. I agree that it's kind of odd that it isn't picking up the values, but I personally think it's easier to manage metadata in a consistent manner; the less different objects / tracking methods you have to support, the easier long-term sustainability is (in my opinion).

Have you taken a look at this? I've used it to successfully move an entire property dictionary over.. The only thing that didn't transition properly (if I recall correctly) was whether the field was required or not. vCAC Custom Property Toolkit for vCO

Correct.  Only VMware Workstation 10 supports USB 3.0 with Windows 7.  Hoping for next Fusion release to remedy this by including updated drivers in the VMware Tools.

connect vApp network to an organization vDC network

August 4, 2014, 11:09 am

Hello all,


I am a newbie here and working on automating the following procedures using vcloud java SDK5.1:


1. create vApps from the template -> modify the code ComposevApp.java.


2. deploy/undepoly the vApp


3. add VMs into the vAPPs. -> modify the code RecomposevApp.java


4. delete VMs and vApps


All of these work well but I cannot set the network correctly. What I want is to create a vAPP network and connect it to an organization vDC network and set routing as NAT. In this way I could get the external IP for each single VMs and access them. I have searched the related information for several days but nothing really helps. What my code could do is just create a direct fenced network in the vApp. The org vDC I want to connect is Internal_Routed_Network.


 



        networkConfiguration.setParentNetwork(vdc.getAvailableNetworkRefByName("Internal_Routed_Network"));



        networkConfiguration.setFenceMode(FenceModeValuesType.NATROUTED.value());



        VAppNetworkConfigurationType vAppNetworkConfigurationType = new VAppNetworkConfigurationType();



        vAppNetworkConfigurationType.setConfiguration(networkConfiguration);



        vAppNetworkConfigurationType.setNetworkName( networkName );



        NetworkConfigSectionType networkConfigSectionType = new NetworkConfigSectionType();



        MsgType networkInfo = new MsgType();



        networkConfigSectionType.setInfo(networkInfo);



        List<VAppNetworkConfigurationType> vAppNetworkConfigs = networkConfigSectionType



                     .getNetworkConfig();



        vAppNetworkConfigs.add(vAppNetworkConfigurationType);



        InstantiationParamsType vappOrvAppTemplateInstantiationParamsType = new InstantiationParamsType();



        List<JAXBElement<? extends SectionType>> vappSections = vappOrvAppTemplateInstantiationParamsType



                     .getSection();



        vappSections.add(new ObjectFactory()



                     .createNetworkConfigSection(networkConfigSectionType));



        //



        // create the request body (InstantiateVAppTemplateParams)



        //



        ComposeVAppParamsType instVappTemplParams = new ComposeVAppParamsType();



        instVappTemplParams.setName( vAppName );



        instVappTemplParams.setDeploy(false);



        //instVappTemplParams.setSource(vAppTemplateReference);



        instVappTemplParams.setInstantiationParams(vappOrvAppTemplateInstantiationParamsType);



        Vapp vapp = vdc.composeVapp(instVappTemplParams);



        



        return vapp;




Thanks for any input.

Re: Customization script vCenter 5.5 adding extra lines in ifcfg-eth0

I see in the script:

# insert the check link fix for vlance card

   push (@content, "\ncheck_link_down() {\n return 1; \n}\n" );

 

/usr/lib/vmware-vpx/imgcust/linux/imgcust-scripts/RedHatCustomization.pm

 

This fits as far as the information that is being added to the ifcfg-eth0 file.  But doesn't help in the since I still have to manually remove this information in order to get login's to work correctly. The script is adding information to the ifcfg-eth0 file that is causing problems with login's.

 

Would commenting out this line fix this problem?  I see a science experiment in the future

this is $100 on the Best Buy website and here is a review from a buyer of this same item:

 

I have a Mac. I bought this along with Parallels so I can run a windows based program for my business. Worked perfectly. Both were user friendly and easy to install. So far so good.

 

my note: however the Best Buy page says it is not a system builder version but  License Pricing: OEM


as for the USB DVD drive, I do not have to get the Apple version? why can't I just use a flash drive?


just read about something called the win on x that may, fingers crossed, work for me

What version vC Ops are you running? When you upgraded vCenter Server, did you replace the SSL cert with your own CA-signed certs? When you update the registration to the vCenter from vC Ops's /Admin UI, does the "test" yield a success or failure?

Re: vSphere Web Client SUCKs so bad that my experience managing and supporting VMware has turn to SH**!

I concur with the criticism of the vSphere Web Client, here's another list of flaws that I don't think have been mentioned previously in this thread:

  • Browser dependency hell.
    There are many reasons why you don't want to upgrade your vCenter server right away (There's been a fair share of bugs so far..), but in order to keep up with the release cycles of modern browsers you would need to upgrade vCenter quite often. An improvement could be to release only small patches for the Web Client that adds support for new browsers, perhaps this could be an auto updating feature?
  • Incompatible client integration tools
    Running 5.5U1 on one system, and 5.1 U2 on another? Sorry, the 5.5U1 client integration won't work with 5.1 U2.. And if running IE, there's a fair share that the client integration won't work at all even if installed properly.
  • Why run the web client on and odd port and URL? Why can't it reside on port 443 along with the other services?
  • Tasks that don't submit successfully stays as "Work in progress", and doesn't give an error message like they do in the C# client. Could be hard for users to see if something isn't submitted properly.

 

This is just a couple of things from the top of my head, I try to avoid it as much as I can... I have to use it with VSAN, which is another story in all..

I know this is a little old, but found the fix for our windows 8.1 tablet users.   On the client itself, we removed the client cache completely doing the following steps:

 

Create a new file as below.

C:\Users\vditest\AppData\Local\Teradici\pcoip_client_settings.txt

and write this line into it.

pcoip.enable_tile_based_image_caching = "0"

I figured it out. It's not "hostname". that's what you would put into the custom property field in vcac, but it's not what you put in for the JS code...go figure?

 

The code to get machine name during destroy/dcommissioning is:

 

var vmName = vcacEntity.getProperty("VirtualMachineName");

Looking at the script more, to me it would seem that there is a "if" statement missing.  The way it's written now it will just do the push regard less.
