Re: CDO disabled
Hi lucasbernadsky hope you are doing fine
If you are having issues with the data plane i'd suggest checking the host preparation of the clusters and make sure NSX version is the same across all clusters.
Also, make sure that all hosts under the host preparation tab are marked as green.
If you have experienced any issues with the controller clusters i'd suggest to enable CDO.
Why is this:
The controller cluster is in charge of keeping the VIFs and VTEP tables aswell as the routing consistent across all the data plane (esxi hosts)
If the controller plane is down and CDO is not enabled the esxi hosts will not be able to know in which host the holds the correct VTEP Table information, so data plane will be affected.
With CDO enabled you have a Global VTEP list which is consistent across all esxi hosts and will prevent this kind of errors from happening

Re: Edit report owned and scheduled by other user
Hi eric.
Been there, done that. In my opinion that's a big product flaw. The only way to "steal it" is asking to the user to export it's content. Otherwise, a non so nice resolution would be to remove the user temporarily so the content become orphaned. You own it, remove it and then you can enable the user again.
Sorry for that "workaround" but that worked for me.
Hope vROps product owners find a way in newer versions.

Re: Trying to Fix: Cannot Synchronize Host, I got the error: Waiting for vpxa to Start
First step would be to try restarting the host management agents:
As a general comment, you really should look to upgrade - even 6.0 is already out of support, never mind 5.5.

Performance Issues MS SQL
Hi, I'm having performance issues with a MS SQL VM.
We have recently migrated from a legacy infrastructure to a brand new vSAN ready installation.
On our previous infra it took about 1 minute to complete a batch job, not it takes up to 10 minutes.
I have cheked for resource contention but VM is sitting alone on the ESXi host and has all resources reserved.
Also Host 2 40GBe interfaces and a 40GBe upstream switch
CAn you give some advice?
Warm regards

To be honest though, the thing that is most likely to trip you up is CPU compatibility between your old and new hardware.

INSTALL WINDOWS XP MEDIA CENTER EDITION WITH 2 CD ISO
Hello, i'm noob, this is my problem, I want to install windows xp mce 2005 in vmware workstation 15 but the os is it divided in 2 cd iso, disk 1 and disk 2... when I install it from first cd iso the operation was done but wmware workstation dont demand me the second disk that contain media center and other stuff, so the os wen is starting it works regularly but the media center and other applications are missing ... can anyone help me ? thanks!

Re: Performance Issues MS SQL
Thanks for the quick reply, let me reply to your marks.
- vSAN Backend and performance graphics- This will give you some useful metrics to quickly identify the issue. This seems to be fine
- Take a look at overall vSAN health and make sure every requirement is in good health. (Network is key when talking about vSAN, check dropped packets and MTU settings of your switch ports. Some need to be configured at 9124) This is Okay
- Storage Policies - If you are running a hybrid configuration (HDD + SSD) I would suggest to take a look at the IOPS requirements of your app and if the disks meet them. Also, you can add more stripes to the VM (About vSAN Policies ). If you are running all flash, I would suggest you to use RAID 1, since Erasure coding (RAID 5/6) takes an impact on performance, and add stripes to your policy. We are using RAID 5
- VM Tools updated and running on your OS and VMXNET3 vNIC This is Okay
- Make sure you are using paravirtual scsi as your vdisk controllers. You can find it here SQL Server Virtual Machine Configuration | SQL Server 2016 Database Performance and Improvements on vSAN 6.7™ | VMware and here VMware Knowledge Base We are using paravirtual SCSI
- Make sure you are using different VMK for vMotion, management and vSAN servicies. vSAN services VMK are separated.
- In the NIOC of your DVS, make sure to prioritize vSAN and VMs traffic over the rest. NIOC Configuration Example | VMware® vSAN™ Network Design | VMware
- Will take this into consideration
Make sure your cache disks are at least 10% of the capacity disks of each disk group. We are using all flash. - Make sure your cluster passes the proactive tests Proactive Tests all clusters pass Proactive tests
- if none of the options above worked, I would suggest to see vSAN Observer and vROps analysis.
- Again, if none of the options above worked, open a SR please
As for the OS:Operating system settings:
- Set the power plan to high performance in the guest OS. DOne
- Enable SQL Server to use large pages by enabling the Lock pages in the memory user right assignment for the account that runs the SQL Server in Group Policy.
SQL Server startup parameters: This is already done
- -x: Disable SQL Server performance monitor counters.
- -T661: Disable the ghost record removal process.
Please keep me updated

Re: Performance Issues MS SQL
Hi nachogonzalez.
VMware has a complete guide to install MS SQL on VSAN. As this apps usually needs intensive IOs, i would suggest to take a look to the following things:
- vSAN Backend and performance graphics- This will give you some useful metrics to quickly identify the issue.
- Take a look at overall vSAN health and make sure every requirement is in good health. (Network is key when talking about vSAN, check dropped packets and MTU settings of your switch ports. Some need to be configured at 9124)
- Make sure all drivers and firmwares are OK. https://hcl.captain-vsan.com/ and Determining Network/Storage firmware and driver version in ESXi 4.x and later (1027206) | VMware KB
- Storage Policies - If you are running a hybrid configuration (HDD + SSD) I would suggest to take a look at the IOPS requirements of your app and if the disks meet them. Also, you can add more stripes to the VM (About vSAN Policies ). If you are running all flash, I would suggest you to use RAID 1, since Erasure coding (RAID 5/6) takes an impact on performance, and add stripes to your policy.
- VM Tools updated and running on your OS and VMXNET3 vNIC

- if none of the options above worked, I would suggest to see vSAN Observer and vROps analysis.
- Again, if none of the options above worked, open a SR please
EDIT:
- Please take a look if you are using encryption. I wouldn't be so bad but just take that in adds CPU overhead.
- Take a look a physical disk format and their compatibility VMware Knowledge Base
As for the OS:
Operating system settings:
- Set the power plan to high performance in the guest OS.
- Enable SQL Server to use large pages by enabling the Lock pages in the memory user right assignment for the account that runs the SQL Server in Group Policy.

Re: How many nodes/servers required to install Tanzu?
Tanzu is the name of a portfolio, not a product. If referring to vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, you can either used a collapsed management/workload domain (min. 3 4 nodes) or separated management/workload domains (min. 7 nodes).

Re: INSTALL WINDOWS XP MEDIA CENTER EDITION WITH 2 CD ISO
... but wmware workstation dont demand me the second disk ...
It's actually the guest operating system, which has to request another installation resource.
Did you start the installation from the ISO image directly, i.e. using the option to install the OS later, or did you try to use the Easy Install Wizard?
I never installed this OS edition, but I think the way to do use the install OS later option.

Re: Parsing Get-Notes from
Closer.
1. We need to deal with blank lines.
2. If there is a word:make a column for word.
3. If there is a statement with no :then dump into a single column for that vm row. No need to make a separate column for each statement without :in it.
I'd sooner not clean up blank lines in our VMs that have notes that way, even though they're not supposed to.
I want columns for those items that have a colon.
I get this for each VM that has notes with blank lines between rows of information.
This is the corresponding notes:
My guess is the blank lines are being viewed as a multiple entry. I am willing to clean up the valid mulitple entry but yikes!! Tons of VMs with blank rows, and tons without. In the meantime, I'll start the cleanup of valid duplicate data.
No red errors this time. Just script output. Progress, I'd say.
