Managed machines per resource

Hi

 

I'm trying to write a script that would automate moving hundreds of VMs from one reservation to another.  I used PowerShell and CloudClient to do the actual move but now I'm trying to figure out how to get a list of VMs that belong to the old reservation. I know it could be done easily within the UI but I don't see a way of exporting that list from there.  The export button used to exist in previous versions of vRA but for some reason I can't find it in 7.4. So does anyone know if there is a way to get a CSV export by either using vRO or CloudClient.

 

Thank you,

VMware Knowledge Base

Resolution

 

To increase the capacity of a VMFS datastore:

  1. Open vCenter session to the Datacenter/Cluster.
  2. Select the Hosts and Clusters view and click the Rescan All link.
  3. Switch to the Datastores and Datastore Clusters view.
  4. Select each volume you wish to increase and select the Properties link.
  5. Ensure the Extent shows in the Extents window, and reflects the current free space reported by the storage array.
  6. Click the Increase button and select the extent to resize, then click Next.
  7. Ensure the Total Capacity reflects the new capacity.
Alternatively, you may directly connect to ESXi host and perform a rescan.

Hi Andre,

 

Thank you for your response.  Here is the output of the ls command, listing the four files you were referring to:

[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/59349365-08186f18-21e2-1866da64be1d/Server] ls -lisa

The cat command on the bottom file - Server_1.vmdk - reveals the following information:

The same command on the other file - Server_1-000002.vmdk shows this:

DEM 9.9 and easy start for office 365

There is no Easy Start available for Office 365 to be able to have preconfigured config items, shortcuts, condition sets ...

 

While installing Office 365 for a client in stead of Office 2016 I noticed that Office 365 installs by default in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\root\Office16 whereas Office 2016 installs in %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16.

Therfore the shortcuts and conditions are different for Office 365 compared to Office 2016

Possibly some of the import/export config files are also different.

 

Does someone already have a good set of import/export config files, shortcut definition files, condition sets dor Office 365 that he/she wants to share?

Yes, do that.  Empty trash.  Reboot.  Empty trash again.  Then reinstall.

Re: VMKDMounter won't launch, need access to VMDK for OS X Server (Snow Leopard)

We're beyond my guess on getting the old one to boot at this point, maybe wila has some ideas?

 

If you go into the new one that works, settings, and add device, you can 'add an existing hard drive'.  Then navigate to the old VM, double click on it, and add it to the new one.

 

I would suggest doing this on a copy of the old VM and then set it to 'share this disk' to avoid blowing up disk space.  Once you boot, you should see the old drive inside the new VM and be able to copy files over.  When done, shut down, and remove the old disk from the new VM.

I add the attached registry settings (in DEM section "User Environment" - "Registry Settings") to configure all region specific settings (date, time, language, currency, ...).

This works perfectly for me.

Re: Unable to expnad a datastore

Yes, this is where I started. If I pick the "Add an extent to existing VMFS datastore" it offers to put it on the boot SD card, as it is the only disk with unpartitioned space.

If I pick the "Expand an existing VMFS datastore extent " I get "No devices with free space message".

I think the problem is that my partition takes the entire RAID, but its size isn't in sync with the datastore size. I don't know what to do about it.

Horizon Client only Showing RDP as a connection option after recompose

We have MS Office in our Gold Image rather than a appvol and after updating office, when I recomposed the pool, I was no longer able to connect getting an error "A user has requested a type of logon that has not been granted..." upon closer inspection I found that the option of r connecting to VMs in that pool was now RDP (neither Blast or PCoIP appeare in the drop down). Rolling back to the previous image restores connection via PCoIP.

 

Thoughts?

Re: Unable to add existing VMDK to new VM

Some things that I think cause serious issues:

You've started the VM using "Server_1.vmdk" instead of "Server_1-000002.vmdk" which broke the snapshot chain. To fix this, set the "parentCID" in "Server_1-000002.vmdk" to the "CID" value from "Server_1.vmdk", then manually edit the VM's configuration ".vmx" file, and replace "Server_1.vmdk" with "Server_1-000002.vmdk". Finally you have to reload the VM (see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1026043)

The above will fix the snapshot chain as well as the VM's configuration, but there's another issue you likely ran into. According to the file list that you've provided, the 7TB datastore is full. In addition to the thin provisioned 7TB virtual disk, there's a snapshot, and both files together consume ~7TB disk space. Please check how much free disk space ESXi reports. Even if the datastore is not already out of disk space, it may be soon, and there's not enough free disk space to delete/consolidate the snapshot.

To delete/consolidate the snapshot you either need another datastore with ~ 7TB free disk sapce, or backup the VM, and restore it, which should also consolidate the snapshot data to the base disk.

 

Do you have a current backup? If not, you should take one now to avoid data loss!

If the datastore expansion didn'd work correctly in the first attempt, and only the partition size has been modified, you may need to grow the VMFS from the command line (see e.g. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2002461, step 13). Please ensure that you read, and understand the whole procedure, and do the checks before running the growfs command. This is to ensure that the partition is in the proper state for the expansion.

In my case I got the black screen to disappear immediately by right-clicking on the vmwarevm file in Finder, selecting Open With, and then VMware Fusion

Open opening I got the alert that security preferences needed to be updated but then Windows finally opened anyway

When I went back to System Preferences it was already open but with a different screen - i.e. Security and Privacy which indicated that "System Software from VMware was blocked from loading"

 

Checked off "Allow" box and all was well
