Hi Guys

 

We’ve been Experiencing this error / bug / problem in vCenter 7 whenever we do the ff:

 

– Test High Availability (VMs restarts on the other server except for the vCenter Server)
    After powering on the esxi host where the vCenter is residing and the vCenter Server the error occurs

Tried the ff: re-installing, checking VM Hardware Version, checking the OS: no Photon OS in the list. restarting services but nothing works
in the end we need to restore our back-up.

 

Screen shot below

 

Thanks!

Copying files and directories from one datastore to another ?

Leave a comment
This post was originally published on this site

I have been searching for a while for very simple script to copy all folders and their content from one datastore to another datastore.

These are not VM’s so vmotion is not an option as far as I know. These are OVA files and ISO files in their own folders and misc. files of that sort. No running VM’s.

 

Found this:

Managing the VMware datastore with PowerCLI (PowerShell) – 4sysops
But ideally I would like this to run all without using PSDrive so my workstation is not involved in moves at all.

 

One would think this is an easy task but the more I search for a simple script the harder the problem gets.

 

Any suggestions on this?

After the last update I noticed an improvement on video quality and performance since it runs with Hyper-V features now, specially in Windows XP, I remember video was laggy, but after the update is better!!, but now SOUND in many Windows OS is breaking a lot, and suddenly I get a message saying “sorry but audio will be now disconnected” I hope you can make a follow up on this

iSCSI vs NFS

Hi

 

VMware has not released this paper’s new version since 2012 – https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/storage_protocol_comparison-white-paper.pdf 

 

I went though some old post & got sense from all that NFS is better for below reasons

 

1. Easy Setup

2. Easy to expand

3. UNMAP is advantage on iSCSI

4. VMFS is quite fragile if you use Thin provisioned VMDKs. A single powerfailure can render a VMFS-volume unrecoverable.

5. NFS datastores immediately show the benefits of storage efficiency (deduplication, compresson, thin provisioning) from both the NetApp and vSphere perspectives

6. Netapp specific : The NetApp NFS Plug-In for VMware is a plug-in for ESXi hosts that allows them to use VAAI features with NFS datastores on ONTAP

7. Netapp specific : NFS has autogrow

8. When using NFS datastores, space is reclaimed immediately when a VM is deleted

9. Performance is almost identical

 

Please list out if i miss anything & share comments

 

 

 

Thanks

These results show how well a mixed workload environment with many virtual machines and infrastructure operations like vMotion can perform with new server platforms. This […]

Using Velero to backup and restore applications that use vSAN File Service RWX file shares

Leave a comment
This post was originally published on this site

It has been a while since I looked at Velero, our backup and restore product for Kubernetes cluster resources. This morning I noticed that the Velero team just published version 1.4. This article uses the previous version of Velero, version is v1.3.2. The version should not make a difference to the article. In this post, I want to see Velero backing up and restoring applications that use read-write-many (RWX) volumes that are dynamically provisioned as file shares from vSAN 7.0 File Services. To demonstrate, I’ll create two simple busybox Pods in their own namespace. Using the vSphere CSI driver, Kubernetes…

USB Redirection not working – MacOSX Catalina 15.10.4

Problem: USB Redirection after upgrade to MacOSX Catalina 15.10.4 not working – “Error” No suitable USB devices available

 

MacOSX: 15.10.4

VMware View Client for Mac: v5.4.2

MacOSX Settings –> Security and privacy settings

  • Tab Firewall: Firewall is off
  • Tab Privacy
    • Accessibility: VMware Horizon Client is ticked
    • Disk Access: VMware Horizon Client is ticked
    • Files and Folders: VMware Horizon Client is listed with “Full Disk Access”

 

Local disks or usb drives can be mounted by VMware Horizon Preferences –> Sharing, but unfortunately this is not really a USB redirection

 

 

Any clues what could cause the problem?

 

Looks some other people struggeling with usb redirection too: VMWARE HORIZON and MAC CATALINA 10.15
