Let me explain,

I have an environment where i have a lot of VMs and converted from RAID 1 to RAID 5, 8 TB of VMs provisioned with Thin Provisioning.

After the conversion, the dedupe ratio decreased 0.10 x and the "USED BEFORE" of the Deduplication and Compression Overview decreased only 2 TB.

So i don't understand why having 8 TB RAW occupied (Using RAID1 16TB) only decrease 2 TB if i apply RAID5 and why the deduplication ratio decreases

Memory and time has robbed me of the password for a virtual machine. Any help on booting from a recovery cd would be helpful

1. Next time attach log files - just pasting log files as text makes a post hard to read.
2. You did not ask any question - thats lame.
3. It is considered illegal to run MACOS on non Aplle hardware - so we cant help you.

Im seeing on my vms for hardware:

ESXI 6.5 and later (Version 13)

So im assuming the vm's that have this are all up to date hardware wise..

I have a few that say ESXi 6.0 and later (version 11)

Those are the ones I need to upgrade the hardware on as I have a 6.5 esxi environment

Am I right?

What exactly are you asking for help on? How to boot a VM from an ISO?

That's not the same workflow.

The workflow I'm talking about is 'Import a certificate from URL with certificate alias'.

Thanks for the reply.  Here is a graph of CPU ready time on 1 host.  It is a summation on a 20-core server and it is a good representation of what I am seeing on most of my hosts after enabling the scheduler.  The almost flat line is how the host looked for days/weeks leading up to the change, the break is the reboot, and the spike is the result.

Do you have also the Mirage.WinPE files ?

PLEASE....

Hi André,

Thanks for the welcome!

What you're saying makes sense. I'll look for a way to obtain the original Windows 8.1 software then.

Hello Lalegre,

"So i don't understand why having 8 TB RAW occupied (Using RAID1 16TB) only decrease 2 TB if i apply RAID5 and why the deduplication ratio decreases"

Where/how are you measuring "8TB RAW" of data?

Okay, so you have only changed some of the data from RAID1 to RAID5 - I would advise you look closer at the actual structure and usage of the components/Objects before and after changing the Storage Policy to verify how much they are using before and after.

"and why the deduplication ratio decreases"

Potentially as I said in the second-last sentence of my previous comment.

Installation of vmwareworkstation 14 went fine on redhat 6.9.

The problem: I can't start up or create any VM's as myself. If I run it as root than they all work. I need to find out what permission etc. that I'm missing.

Thank You.

Hello!

I solved this problem as follows.

There is a driver for Realtek 8111 NIC in vib format:

     net55-r8168-8.045a-napi.x86_64.vib

It needs to be added to the iso image of ESXi 6.7 for installation on a PC:

     VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0-8169922.x86_64.iso

1. Download the standard SoftwareDepot from www.vmware.com:

          VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-depot.zip

2. Lunch PowerCLI.

3. In PowerCLI connect the standard SoftwareDepot by typing:

          Add-EsxSoftwareDepot -DepotUrl D:\Distrib\System\VMware\VMware-ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-depot.zip

4. Get the ImageProfile list:

          Get-EsxImageProfile

    As result:

          Name                                          Vendor               Last Modified        Acceptance Level

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

          ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard    VMware, Inc.     03.04.2018 2...     PartnerSupported

          ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-no-tools     VMware, Inc.     03.04.2018 2...     PartnerSupported

5. Clone standard ImageProfile:

          New-EsxImageProfile -CloneProfile ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard -Name MyProfile -Vendor Oleg

6. Since our vib file has Acceptance Level - CommunitySupported, we need to set this Acceptance Level for our ImageProfile:

          Set-EsxImageProfile -ImageProfile MyProfile -AcceptanceLevel CommunitySupported

7. Add our vib to SoftwareDepot:

          Get-EsxSoftwarePackage -PackageUrl D:\Distrib\System\VMware\net55-r8168-8.045a-napi.x86_64.vib

     As result:

          Name                     Version                        Vendor     Creation Dat

                                                                                             e

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

          net55-r8168           8.045a-napi                  Realtek   16.04.201...

     (Pay attention to the name field as a result of the command)

8. Add our vib to ImageProfile:

          Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -ImageProfile MyProfile -SoftwarePackage net55-r8168

9. Export ImageProfile to ISO image:

          Export-EsxImageProfile -ImageProfile MyProfile -ExportToIso -FilePath D:\Distrib\System\VMware\MyISO.iso

10. To drink coffee

Hello,

Here is the ESXi CLI script to check the per disk deduplication ratio. Please note that you may not see the saving immediately. Rather start providing the workload and vSAN will save space for you if it can.

localcli vsan storage list | grep 'Group UUID:' | awk '{print $5}'| sort | uniq | while read cache; do dgTotalInflate=''; echo -en "\nCache Tier Disk: $cache\n"; localcli vsan storage list | grep -B1 "Group UUID: $cache"| grep "VSAN UUID:"| awk '{print $3}' | grep -v $cache | while read cap; do diskLogUsed=$(cmmds-tool find -f json -t DISK_STATUS -u $cap | grep content | awk '{print $37}' | sed -e 's/[\t\n\r,]//g'); diskPhysUsed=$(cmmds-tool find -fjson -t DISK_USAGE -u $cap | grep content | awk '{print $19}' | sed -e 's/[\t\n\r,]//g'); dedupRatio=$( awk "BEGIN{ print "$diskLogUsed" / "$diskPhysUsed" }"); dgTotalInflate=$(awk "BEGIN{ print "$dgTotalInflate" + "$diskLogUsed"}"); echo -en "   Capacity Disk: $cap : Dedup Ratio ${dedupRatio}x\n"; dgTotalInflateGB=$(awk "BEGIN{ print "$dgTotalInflate" / 1073741824 * 1.25}"); echo "$dgTotalInflateGB" > /tmp/dgtigb.txt; done; echo -en "      Total Expected Space Inflation: $(cat /tmp/dgtigb.txt)GB\n" ; done

Hallo,

wir haben bei einem aktuellen vCenter die inzwischen doch schon häufiger angetroffenen Fehlermeldung:

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [class Vmacore::Http::NamedPipeServiceSpec:0x0000000000cbf260] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =\\.\pipe\vmware-vpxd-webserver-pipe)

Das Problem tritt nach einem Nuestart auf, und ist auch nach längerer Wartezeit noch präsent.

Im vpxd.lof (C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\vmware-vpx) ist folgendes zu finden:

Hi Mikero,

Thanx for your time and concern.

No, I didn't sent a tiket with support yet but I will since I live in France and a phone call abroad may be very expensive.

With regard to my purchase, yes I did it from the official VMware store.

Unfortuantely, I got an HDD failure few months ago and lost most of my e-mails, one of those been the registration key for Fusion.

Fortunately, I saved my registration key on a spare disk.

However, as you can see below, Fusion 8.5.8 works fine (currently, I run Windows 10 Pro 64, Ubuntu 18.04.1 64 and Linux 19.1 64 in 3 different VMs).

So, what's the best way to get an upgrade without being obliged to pay the full tag ?

TIA.

Philippe

vSphere 6.5

I notice after I've enabled wbem via esxcli system wbem set -e true, it still shows 'CIM Server' service 'stopped' in vSphere Web client > Host > configure > Security Profile > Services > Edit. It could be '-e true' only means it's enabled but not started? This makes me wonder, is there a side-by-side list of services/daemons visible in shell vs in GUI so I know what to expect when making changes in the services?

Thanks,

Hi lucd

got this error

SavkoorSuhas that fixes the gsan degraded issue, although I have one question on your procedure. Don't I need to place back the drive from dependent to Independent persistent?

VMware Tools are running and no indications of errors in the vmware.log file for the VM. I think the VM could be off and you should still get this information from the CLI.

Good news, I found a solution!  After much troubleshooting, I think I figured out what I did. I used to run PowerCLI from the old-school PowerCLI icon which would execute a script on startup, leaving you with a window like this:

By running plain old PowerShell and manually executing "Import-Module VMware.PowerCLI" before I run my script, I am able to get output when I query a VM.  Interesting enough, I now get the new HardwareVersion property in my output that I didn't get in my output before.

Thank you again for your assistance!

I understand, but do the lines above return anything?
The error message seems to say that $ESXi is empty.
