Re: ESXi 6.0 U1 to U2 upgrade, iSCSI issues

I found [a|the?] solution: downgrade to the Intel e1000e 2.5.4-6vmw drivers from 6.0 U1.  See VMware KB 2124715 for the file name.

 

Steps:

  1. Log into https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/patch#search
  2. Select "ESXi (Embedded and Installable)" and "6.0.0".  Select the Search button.
  3. Scroll down and look for the Release Name update-from-esxi6.0-6.0_update01 (released 9/10/2015) . Put a check mark next to it and then Download button to the right.
  4. Save the file somewhere locally. Open the ZIP archive after it downloads.
  5. Navigate to the "vib20" directory. Extract the net-e1000e folder.  Contained within is the Intel e1000e drivers from ESXi 6.0 U1: VMware_bootbank_net-e1000e_2.5.4-6vmw.600.0.0.2494585.vib
  6. Transfer this to your ESXi server (either via SCP or even the file browser within the vSphere Thick Client). Save it somewhere you'll remember (i.e. /tmp).
  7. Login via SSH to the ESXi 6.0 host.
  8. Issue the command to install it:  esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/VMware_bootbank_net-e1000e_2.5.4-6vmw.600.0.0.2494585.vib
  9. Reboot the ESXi host.  Once it comes back online your iSCSI datastore(s)/volumes should return.  You can verify by issuing df -h or esxcli storage core device list at the CLI prompt.  vSphere Client also works

It took some time to find the right file(s), steps and the commands to use.  I hope someone else can benefit from this.  I like what VMware can provide for virtualization, but lately it seems their QA department has been out to lunch.

 

Still do not have a definitive explanation as to why the Intel e1000e drivers from ESXi 5.5 U3 were used when upgrading from ESXi 6.0 U1 to U2.  Perhaps someone with more insight or VMware Support person can.

Re: Windows 10 Start Tiles and Persona Management

It turns out that specifying a roaming profile path in the users active directory object was the cause for partial persona management synchronization. Despite this working with windows 7 and persona management, windows 10 and persona management seem to not work together when a profile path is specified in the AD object and perhaps in other GPO's that apply to the VM OU or User OU.

Perhaps we could use an Enforced GPO to set "Only allow local user profiles" and apply it to the Horizon VM OU.

 

We do want to be able to specify a path in the users object for when they log into a physical computer and the GPO from VMware is supposed to override that. "Override Active Directory user profile path if it is configured." must be broken or does not work as expected in Windows 10.

 

If your metro apps are failing to start, try the powershell from "the dead" in the following post [IE11] and Edge crash on start if customer use Roaming Profile (Win10 1511) | Microsoft Connect

Jim,

 

Firstly I am so sorry you got that response from GSS, if the cmdlet works in one version and not the next then it is clear it is an issue with the product or the API, either way this should be supported by us and I am sorry you got that response from them, this is something I am following up with internally.

 

Secondly, we are looking into the issue you have here and will hopefully provide a fix in the near future.

thanks for your answer, steps to do are:

installed new esxi 6 on new Server

On production environment create a new standard switch, migrate host from dvS in new standard switch

add new host esxi in vCenter (verify EVC), migrate VM from Old Host to new Host esxi

correct?

Thanls

Thank you. According to A:

VIPMAIL --> VMware vDMZ VLAN 20 --> vmnic0 --> Cisco Gi0/13

VMkernel  --> VMware vDMZ VLAN 0 --> vmnic1 -->  Cisco Gi0/22

VM Network ????

 

VLAN Name                             Status    Ports

---- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------

1    default                          active    Gi0/1, Gi0/2, Gi0/3, Gi0/4, Gi0/5, Gi0/6, Gi0/7, Gi0/8, Gi0/9, Gi0/10, Gi0/11

                                                Gi0/12, Gi0/17, Gi0/18, Gi0/19, Gi0/20, Gi0/21, Gi0/25, Gi0/26, Gi0/27, Gi0/28

10   DMZ                              active    Gi0/13, Gi0/14, Gi0/15, Gi0/16

20   vDMZ                             active    Gi0/22, Gi0/23, Gi0/24

 

The above are my current physical cisco VLAN configuration. If (exhibit A) vmnic0 connected to Gi0/13 trunk and vmnic1 connected to Gi0/22 trunk then:

 

interface GigabitEthernet0/13

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20

 

interface GigabitEthernet0/22

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20


Right? The question I have is how would the rest of my network on Cisco VLAN 1 see servers located on vSwitch0/VM Network VLAN 0 ?

By VMKernel you mean Management Network on vSphere virtual switch?

Yes.

 

You mentioned that at some point we will lose connection to the host but it will be restored when we make changes to cisco switch? Shouldn't we make changes to cisco first to save on down time?

You will get downtime, but no a longer downtime... and you can do the change first on Cisco, but you will need access to ESXi console to change the VLAN for the management network.

 

The article mentions to avoid VLAN default 1, what are they talking about?

Since the VLAN 1 is the default VLAN, vendors suggest avoid use it for security purpose.

Sorry, but can you confirm where the vmnic0 and vmnic1 are connected ? If you don't know, click on the ballon icon close to the vmnic that you will see information collected by CDP.

Any of your hosts are in compliance ? The reference host are in compliance ? If the reference host are in compliance, just apply the host profile for the hosts that are not in compliance.

thanks Luc, made some progress today. I was able to return this information as long as all disks are on the same controller. Need to figure out why the disks don't return the info while the disks are on other controllers. Stay Tuned.

Permission "Defined in" help

Greetings,

 

I'm trying to make a script that goes through configuring permissions on objects in vCenter based on a CSV file it reads and i'm running into a slight issue. In vCenter itself, it will tell you what object the permission is "Defined In" such as the a parent object, or "this object" when its defined at the object you're viewing. Is there an easy way to determine if its inheriting the permission compared to being defined on that object specifically?

 

 

get-vipermission -Entity(get-datacenter $VMObject) -principal $UserGroup

Standard switch supports Etherchannel, but only the static one, no LACP that is supported only on vDS.

Afaik there is no PowerCLI cmdlet for that, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and query the Win32_Product class.

By running the following. You can add a Where-clause to only return the View Agent

 

Get-WmiObject-ClassWin32_Product|SelectName,Version

The Permission objects that are returned by the Get-ViPermission cmdlet have a property named Propagate.

The Boolean value in there will say "Whether or not this permission propagates down the hierarchy to sub-entities."

If you get the Permissions for a specific vSPhere object, the Entity property in the returned objects, will show if the Permission was defined on the object itself or on another entity and propagated.

It's a matter of comparing the Id of the Entity you are querying and the EntityId value in the Permission

Re: Can't backup VMs to NFS server

The solution was simple: my Notepad+ in Windows leaved some 'hidden' symbols at the end of the first line, before I sent this file via WinSCP.

 

1. Use only vi on your ESXi because different EOL codes (CR+LF/LF). Also do not leave any usefull spaces and the end of the lines.

2. Set async option on your NFS server instead of sync that increases speed of copying.

3. Place your ghettoVCB script on your datastore. E.g.: /vmfs/volumes/datastore1

 

Hope it helps others.

Thank you for taking your time to assist me with this matter!

 

Currently vmnic0 and vmnic1 connected into VLAN 1 on Cisco switch so everything is on one singe network. I have created VLAN 10 and 20 on Cisco as you suggested for the purpose of moving VIPMAIL to vDMZ VLAN 20 on VMware vSwitch0. So my question is this:

 

If I plug in vmnic0 into cisco VLAN 10 Gi0/13 and I plug in vmnic1 into cisco VLAN 20 Gi0/22 trunks how would my VLAN 1 network see cisco vlan 10 and 20? My workstation which i use to connect to ESXI host is on cisco  VLAN 1.

 

Did you mean to move/rename VLAN 1 to VLAN 10 on CISCO?
