Can't connect Host to client ESXi 5.5

December 10, 2015, 5:50 am

I did an update last night that just showed up in my update manager.

 

I followed the usual steps, migrated all VM's, maintenance mode, stage, remediation...

 

Looks like the updates installed fine, but on reboot it never reconnected.

 

I can get to the host directly through the local client, and everything looks fine.

 

When I log in through the VSphere server the host refuses to connect.

 

Cannot contact the specified host (xxxx.xxxxx.com). The host may not be available...

 

Call "Datacenter.QueryConnectionInfo "for object "xxxxx" on vCenter Server "xxxx.xxxxx.com" failed.

 

I've update the client and server, figuring that could be the problem.  No luck.

 

I've done these updates 100+ times, and never experienced anything like this before.  Appears to have lost communication VSphere Server as near as I can tell.

 

Client 3237766

Server 1945274

 

The host version is a little odd.  The one that isn't update is 3116895, and the other is 3248547, but when I log in through Vcenter server it reports 3116895 as the build for both hosts.  I am guessing it simply stores the last build info because it's not actually connecting.

 

I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting.  Was going to try removing all together, but got a little nervous that I'd have to reconfigure the whole thing.  Seeing as how it was disconnected anyway, I did try adding it back as a new host unsuccessfully.  Same set of errors.

 

I'm at a loss.

 

I would think it would be something fairly simple considering it seems to be working fine when I connect directly through the client.  I've also been in the console and nothing looks out of sorts.

 

HELP!

Hey Guys

 

We are having an issue with a clients VCSA where we can start the vCentre Server Service but cannot access the vCentre because the embedded database will not start/connect.

 

Find below a sample of the vpxd.log file with the continuous error:

We use Veeam Backup and Restore tool for replication but this has not worked since September.

I have a script that maps printers based on client name. I use the environment variable "ViewClient_Machine_Name".

In another script I use "ViewClient_Broker_DNS_Name".

As someone already pointed out, these variables are not yet set when flexengine runs.

 

So how can I use of these variables?

Reporting a poorly functioning lab

How do we, beyond posting here, report a lab that does not seem to be functioning as it should? I have been trying for several days to get through the App Volumes lab (1458) but to no avail. When trying to open the Capture VM through the vSphere console it throws errors and is unable to connect. When, on the rare occasion, I am able to connect, starting the install of Adobe Reader from the provided share simply hangs. It gets to 1.2% and then hangs for hours on end. The rest of the machine is responsive, if a little bit slow, the download of the Adobe Reader files simply isn't going through.

Site Recovery Manager Failover Scenario

Hi guys,

 

I going to plan an installation of two ESX Cluster in two different location in the same building.

I trying to archive a RTO less than 8 minutes, my solution is based on two site with it's own vcenter and SRM server and with array based replication.

 

I have one simple question, if I have to test a recovery plan I can go on the source site and start the recovery plan for a single VM or a group, but what happen if my site A fail completely? In the site A I have all the VM anche the Virtual Center e the SRM Server.

 

The prodedure starts automatically from a "remote" site input? Or I have to go into remote site and start a remote plan manually?

 

 

Thanks

Upgrade using customised image

Hi there,

 

I'm currently in the process of upgrading from ESXi 5.1 to ESXi 6.0.

 

Normally I would do a fresh install, however on this occasion I've opted to select the upgrade option.

 

To do the upgrade I am using a custom HP ESXi Image as this will contain all the latest drivers for the physical host. 

 

I'm assuming that all the latest drivers will install even though I've chosen the upgrade as opposed to a fresh installation?

 

Many thanks in advance

Partial installation of VMWare Tools

December 15, 2015, 9:01 am

I am working on a product and we need to be able to have people properly shutdown the VM. For security reasons we don't want the entirety of the VMWare tools suite installed by default (most of it is not necessary for what the product does) but feel that the ability to shutdown the VM from the VSphere Manager is a necessity. Is it possible to install just this functionality into the VM by default (we do currently have the option of including the entire suite) without causing problems with the VM should the user decide to install the rest of the VMWare tools? If so, how can we do it?

 

Our product runs on a proprietary linux distro.

 

Thanks.

Workstation 12.1.0 / Centos 7 / elrepo kernel 4.3.2 / librsvg-2.so.2 problem

I upgraded to Workstation 12.1.0 and vmware doesn't start.  I patched the drivers and modinfo returns 0 upon all driver installs.  The last line of vmware-ui.log is:

 

2015-12-15T08:20:59.156-08:00| vmui| W115: Unhandled cui::Error exception: class 'N3cui5ErrorE', details 'Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/lib/vmware/libconf/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: librsvg-2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'

 

There are two copies of this library; one for the installer and one for the main system, and they are different sizes?:

 

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 204824 Dec 14 17:10 /usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.1.0/lib/lib/librsvg-2.so.2/librsvg-2.so.2

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 863436 Dec 14 17:10 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/librsvg-2.so.2/librsvg-2.so.2

 

This does not appear to be related to the other problem people are having with gcc5 and name-mangling.

Host and Clusters view - disappearing hosts

Hi,

I've just upgraded vcenter from 5.5 to Version 6.0.0 Build 2997665.

There is a problem with hosts and clusters view in web client. Stand alone client works OK. See attached image.

Sometimes hosts are in tree view and sometimes no. When hosts aren't there I can refresh view by navigating to another datacenter and sometimes hosts appears (and sometimes no)

When I see host in hosts tab and click on it, for example check hardware status or anything else host disappear.

 

 

In standalone client I can see all hosts so it isn't security rights case.

Restarting vcenter doesn't help

 

 

It is a bug?

 

 

Thanks

MJ

Hi All,

 

I am running CISCO IOS XRv in VMware PRO with i7+16GB RAM laptop. It is taking 20min boot and give the console.

 

I have allocated 6GB to the VM but still it is taking 15-20 min to boot.  CPU is less than 10% and memory is 20% .Virtulization is already enabled in the BIOS.

 

Anybody having this same issue and how to make an improvement in the booting time?

 

 

Thanks in advance...

 

Thanks,

Arun Mohan
