Re: Could not Run the following 4 Wklds......

$

Hi, thanks for providing your results file. There are several steps you will need to complete.

1)

To answer your question about Passwordless SSH, you will need to complete the following steps:

 

If not already done, generate SSH keys on the prime client as follows:

a On the prime client, open a Cygwin window. If /home/Administrator/.ssh exists, skip to step b.

Otherwise run the following command:

mkdir /home/Administrator/.ssh

b If ~/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub does not exist, run the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

(accept the default file name and leave the passphrase empty).

 

The name of the ESX system will be the hostnames of the hosts in your VMmark cluster. Passwordless SSH must be enabled separately for each host.

 

2)

In VMMARK2.CONFIG, please change

MailServer/MailDomains="WIN-0FBCUBV1XIX/Administrator" to

MailServer/MailDomains="WIN-0FBCUBV1XIX"

 

and please change

MailServer/SERVERS="WIN-0FBCUBV1XIX" to

MailServer/SERVERS="Mailserver0"

and change host file and VM names accordingly to Mailserver0.

Your fully qualified mailserver name will be Mailserver0.WIN-0FBCUBV1XIX.your.company.com.

 

3)

All of your VMs' hosts files have been copied into your results folder in the directory "configfiles". Please carefully look through these hosts files for misspellings, then update the hosts file on the VM. For example, Client1_hosts.txt, OlioDB0_hosts, OlioWeb0_hosts and PrimeClient_hosts all have misspellings.

 

4)

It appears you have not yet initialized the DS2 database. Please follow the instructions in the VMmark Benchmarking Guide under”Unknown database” Message in ConfigDS2DB Text File in the "DVD Store 2 Troubleshooting" section.

 

Thank you and I hope you have a nice day also!

Rebecca

Not really I'm afraid.

 

You could try to go via PowerCLI: you get the VMname from the Get-DesktopVM cmdlet, then do a Get-VM followed by a Get-Snapshot.

But I'm not sure if that will really display what you are seeing in the View Admin page.

When the tile score will not calculate or you get the message BAD_DATA, that means that one or more workloads is producing invalid data. Here is how you figure out which workload is the problem:

 

In a cygwin window, cd to your Results folder

cd /cygdrive/c/VMmark2/Results/Results_<yourfolder>

../../tilescore.pl -t 1 -i N

 

Run the tilescore.pl command N times where N is the number of tiles. Change N to equal 0, 1, ...N-1. You are testing tile N to see if its results will compute properly.

When the tilescore.pl will not complete properly, you know this tile has a problem.

tilescore.pl has options-M, -D, and -O which skip scoring Mailserver, DVDstore and Olio respectively. Use the -M -D -O flags, using process of elimination to find out which workload is causing the tilescore error.

 

Does this make sense? I will also take a look at it as well.

no if it has access to the 2 types of storage it will transfer it over the storage network. it will only use the vMotion network if your doing "shared-nothing" vMotion where it can vMotion between hosts that dont share storage.

Hi, there are a few things to address here:

 

1)

Virtualclient2 is still producing the error "'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

 

On your virtualclient2, please verify that:

1. You installed the correct version of STAF for your client0 operating system (Did you install 32 bit staf on a 64 bit operating system?)

and

2. That you installed the correct version of Java on client0 (correct bitness) and that you set the environment variable JAVA_HOME correctly. See instructions "Install a Java JRE" in the benchmarking guide.

To double check Java installation, open a command prompt and run java -version.

 

2)

Make sure that there are no extra VMs "deployvm1" "DeployTemplate1" already in your cluster. There should be the deploy template (as a template), but no deploy VMs.

 

3)

It looks like you copied and pasted the same hosts file across all your VMmark VMs. However, in all of the Web VMs' hosts files, there are messages like:

# Change this to the IP of OlioDBn DO NOT change the hostname

192.168.1.32    olio-db

 

So in your OlioWeb hosts file, you need to include IP alias "olio-db" which is that VM's database.

In your DS2Web hosts file, you need to include IP alias "DS2-DB" which maps to that VM's database.

For an example, deploy a new OlioWeb or OlioDB VM from the template and look at its hosts file.


Thanks,

Rebecca

Configure VDP Appliance Twice, every time?

$
0
0

I don't believe there's anything special about our network or vCenter configuration.  We're (still) attempting to roll out VDP, which has been a bit rocky thus far.  I just recently downloaded the 5.1.11 OVF, and I'm seeing the same setup issue that I saw 6 months ago...

 

  1. Deploy the OVF
  2. Hit the configuration url (http://appliance:8543/vdp-configure
  3. Run through the configuration
  4. Reboots
  5. Try to connect in vCenter - Doesn't work
  6. Hit the configuration url -AGAIN-
  7. Run through the exact same configuration -AGAIN- (most values are pre-populated this time at least)
  8. Reboot -AGAIN-
  9. This time, '...Reinitializing VDP appliance...' and a few other start-up procedures seem to take a lot longer, which I assume means it's working properly
  10. Now you properly connect to the appliance in vCenter

 

Is it just me, or does that happen for everyone else?

 

Thanks,

Edit the sv2i file in the source location. You are calling missing partitions.

> How many uplinks have you added?

I've reduced number of uplinks to 1. But, why do I need to configure

LAG (Link Aggregation Group) when uplinks are more than 2?

 

> VLAN10, is there a gateway?

 

How do I configure a gateway for VLAN10? I have two ESXi that are

on two different subnets. Which gateway should I use for the VLAN?

I think you are right, I see lots of ARP traffic on the failing ones and then :
# ip -s neigh show
10.227.145.1 dev eth0  ref 2 used 375/487/373 FAILED

 

On the good ones see either a couple of ARP packets (neighbor table empty or stale or I flushed it) or nothing (the table entry is still good) and then after it's marked REACHED.

 

Thanks, time to find out who owns the switch and if we can do anything about it.

Not seeing VDP plugin on web client

Hi All,

I have a vSphere 5.1 environment.  I installed VDP Advanced, went through the configuration successfully, but there's no VDP option on my web client.  The registration with vCenter said it was successful...so I'm not sure what I missed.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Lauren

No, you don't have to configure LAG.

If LAG is configured, then the portgroup's load balancing should be configured to Route based on IP hash, that's why I asked.

 

You should not use a gateway for Channel Network which means, two channel adapters must be in a same subnet.

ESXi servers can be on two different subnets but for Channel Network, they must be in a same subnet!

For example:

    • Primary Channel Adapter=> 130.216.1.10
    • Secondary Channel Adapter => 130.216.1.11

As per the screenshot attached, no gateway no DNS!

Hey Man! That was great and it did the trick!

 

Great!!!

 

Really i don't want to bother you anymore but I've got some questions:

 

1 - what do think caused the problem in the first place?

 

2 - what did i do wrong?

 

3 - if this case happens again what should i do first and what should i don't do?

 

 

anyway! thanks again ! you saved me !

Re: how to set up vmware channel between primary and secondary vCenter servers on two different ESXi hosts

What I am trying to accomplish is to set up vCSHB in WAN environment:

I have two ESXi hosts in two different subnets (172.x.x.x and 10.226.x.x). I have the primary and secondary (both are virtual machines)

servers with primary on one ESXi host and secondary on the other.

 

To set up a Channel network, I've created a vDS with vLAN ID 10. On primary (VM), Channel adapter => 192.168.1.100 (no gateway, no DNS); on secondary (VM), Channel adapter => 192.168.1.101 (no gateway, no DNS). Did I miss something here?

 

Also, what do you mean by "two channel adapters must be in a same subnet"? Are you referring to vNIC from the VM or physical network

adapter from ESXi host? Thanks!

Re: how to set up vmware channel between primary and secondary vCenter servers on two different ESXi hosts

So the VLAN10 is spanned across two data centres, right?

Simply, can you ping 192.168.1.101 from 192.168.1.100?

 

I meant that as long as the Primary can reach Secondary on Layer 2, it should work.

Hello -

 

We're really trying to make VDP work, but this is our 3rd attempt and it still seems to lack some key (basic) management functionality.  Here's the scenario:

 

  1. Create a backup job
  2. Backup job starts, and size exceeds the available space on the VDP appliance
  3. Job hangs indefinitely (from our perspective, we waited for hours after seeing the "appliance full" message)
  4. Try killing the "task" associated with the job (since VDP provides no context for the "status" of a job from the VDP UI)
  5. Nothing appears to change, appliance capacity is still "100% full"
  6. Delete the job, nothing appears to change, appliance capacity is still "100% full"
  7. Reboot the appliance
  8. Fortunately, it does clean up the snapshots from the VMs that failed to complete their backup
  9. However the device still read as "100% full", and I'm unable to "manage" the failed backups, since the only way you can delete a backup is if it successfully completes!
  10. I'm sure the first recommendation will be to "Run an Integrity Check", however that fails as well with a "Integrity Check can not be run at this time"

 

So my solution was to nuke the appliance and start from scratch again, but honestly, that's a really annoying solution.  A simple "format appliance" or "delete all backup data" option would be great.  Has anyone else experienced this?
