Hi Thomas,

 

I've did what suggested in the two sections, but still no luck...

 

What I have in the codes follow these steps,

 

Connect:

VixDiskLib_InitEx()

VixDiskLib_PrepareForAccess()

Take snapshot

VixDiskLib_ConnectEx()

 

Read:

VixDiskLib_Open()

VixDiskLib_GetInfo()

VixDiskLib_FreeInfo()

a lot of VixDiskLib_Read(), then

VixDiskLib_Close()

 

Disconnect:

Wait until the timeout set in configure is reached, then delete snapshot

VixDiskLib_Disconnect()

VixDiskLib_Cleanup()

VixDiskLib_EndAccess()

VixDiskLib_Exit()

 

Just wonder what could be wrong?

Unknown: Out of Memory [5880] in syslog

August 22, 2013, 12:59 pm

Hello all.  First post.  Been playing with ESXi for a few months and I'm having an unusual issue.  Here's my hardware and VM setup:

 

Hardware:  Supermicro x9scm-f-o with 32GB of ECC RAM and E3-1230v2 CPU

 

Also included is a M1015 reflashed to IT mode and used as passthrough with VT-d to the FreeNAS VM.

 

VMs:

 

FreeNAS 8.3.1 64-bit with 20GB of RAM assigned (3vCPU)

Linux Mint 13 LTS 4GB RAM (3vCPU)

Cyberpower UPS Appliance VM 2GB RAM (1vCPU)

 

After building the machine a week or two went by, then I lost network connectivity to the entire box(this was when I first realized something might be wrong).  I couldn't use the vSphere client or access the guest machines.  I attempted to "Restart Management Network" locally but that didn't solve anything.  Still no connectivity.  I then attempted to shutdown the box but it wouldn't shutdown.  Ultimately I power cycled it.

 

So over the last 2 months at random times I've lost network connectivity.  Thanks to reading various sources I've found an error in my syslog that ends up being logged 5-20+ times in a row, and happens randomly at intervals of 2-10 minutes.  I get an error that says:

 

Unknown: out of memory [5880]

 

I thought it was due to my VMs using a lot of network connections, but never really could find someone else with the error.  It's very non-specific and I'm running out of leads to check out the issue, hence I've turned to the community.

 

Well, today I have decided I want to figure this puzzle out, so I shutdown all of the VMs and that error still continues to show up in the syslog.  So clearly I have a configuration problem somewhere.  This is odd to me because I've tried to avoid changing settings that I wasn't 100% sure was appropriate for me because Im a newbie to ESXi and I'd rather not break my own installation.  The only thing I've done that might be construed as an 'advanced' feature modification is I enabled the RDM function for the Linux Mint installation.  It was already on a hard drive and I thought I'd just do RDM passthrough and use it that way if it worked.  Well, it has so I left it like that.

 

I can't find much info on what 5880 might represent, so I assumed its a PID or something.  It has changed from one bootup to the next.  So here's the output from the CLI:

 

~ # ps -P | grep 5880

5880 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5881 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5882 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5883 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5884 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5885 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5887 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

5888 5880 sfcb-vmware_raw      5606 /sbin/sfcbd

~ #

 

Again, I tried searching for sfcbd and it really doesn't give me any clues.

 

I actually built 2 identical systems.  One for me and one for a friend.  He uses more RAM for his VMs(and different VMs) but he doesn't have this issue.  I'm figuring I've done something to my installation to deserve this since his is flawless, but I am out of leads.

 

tl;dr:  I get the "Unknown: out of memory" error along with a loss of all network connectivity randomly after 1 day to 2 weeks.  Sometimes when the server would be idle(such as at night).  I don't know if they are related, but I assume they are.

 

Anyone have ideas to try?  This is baffling me and I'm really at a loss to explain the problem let alone how to fix it.

 

Thanks!

Barry, Thanks for the reply.

 

Could you give me a sample of client configuration on how to set up a region with CACHING_PROXY_HEAP_LRU with no data streamed to it from the server at startup. Once the client makes a request for a key, it will get it from the server and hold it in its local cache. BUt if that key changes on the server, update should be pushed to the client.

 

Documentation isn't clear here... this is my configuration now, does this look correct for my use case?

 

<gfe:client-region id="Price" shortcut="CACHING_PROXY_HEAP_LRU" pool-name="gemfire-pool" >

  <gfe:key-interest durable="false" result-policy="NONE" receive-values="false">

   <bean class="com.myCompany.RecordKey">

    <constructor-arg value="ALL_KEYS" />

   </bean>

  </gfe:key-interest>

</gfe:client-region>

Unless it's a typo, the command is missing "--cmd" and should read

Oh ok, internal only just like you said in your first post.  So you want the one pool to be only available to people on specific networks, your internal networks.  Yes, i see your quandary now.  So if you only want to use one fqdn, (view.domain.com) then you just tell those people that are only have internal access, to only use it when they're in those networks.    Im guessing your stuck with the inside only requirement.  Please post your solution if you figure out a way around these limitations.  Sorry i couldn't help you though.

In the hardware section of the summary the network adapter as a Red Cross

In order to restore the network connection shut down the virtual machine, remove the network adapter

Add hardware

Choose network adapter, next and finish. Restart the virtual machine and the network adapter shows is connected again.

No, if nothing is different you would see all registry and file access in white. Sounds like you are getting it wrong somehow.

This not problem is in certification@vmware.com. I think problem in your side.

 

Have you check your internet connection is working properly?

If you are using third party tools like outlook then check the configuration.

Re: Vmware error with storage vMotion failing at 14%, Error 0xbad010b

August 22, 2013, 1:24 pm

We have a main network of 10.1.x.x for all the switches/routers (1.x), servers (10.x), desktops (30.x), and and a private network for the SANs to communication with the virtual environment (221.x and 222.x). The private network consists of 2 switches, with just the 2 SANs and 3 host VM servers plugged into them, and the switches are redundant, with redundant iSCSI paths set up in Vmware. The vMotion settings are set up on this private network, not on the main network. We have 3 host servers, each with dual 8-core procs and 128GB of ram, and all 3 run about 1% - 5% cpu utilization and 10%-15% memory utilization tops, so the environment is way overbuilt, but it's built for the future.

 

We put #1 into maintenance mode, which set up an automated process to migrate all VM's off of it, and after almost a day it finally succeeded in moving all VM's to the other 2 hosts. We rebooted the host, and now it's working fine, as it always has.

Please make sure that you have configure full duplex in the both side of your connection. If you configure one side half duplex and other side full duplex it won't work full duplex.

Windows Installer MSP file won't install on a restored snapshot due sequencing error, but would install prior to the snapshotting process

August 22, 2013, 1:28 pm

Hi

 

I apologize if this is the wrong sub-forum.  We use VMware 5.1 , with vCenter to test our software application.  We are in in the process of releasing a patch which is delivered via an MSP file.

 

Scenario 1:

  1. Obtain test build of the MSP Windows Installer Patch File
  2. Restore VM to "our" clean state snapsshot
  3. Install our main application.
  4. Install our patch
  5. Test...

All ok - Pass

 

 

Scenario 2  (designed to speed up testing)

 

Pre-setup (one time):

  1. Restore VM to "our" clean state snapshot
  2. Install our main application.
  3. Take second snapshot

For each patch:

  1. Obtain test build of the MSP Windows Installer Patch File
  2. Restore second snapshot
  3. Install our patch - FAIL due to Windows Installer sequencing error

 

The actual error is

MSI (c) (14:44) [13:36:45:194]: APPCOMPAT: looking for appcompat database entry with ProductCode '{4EC8B526-FBAA-4085-9D34-1B6E7A664C1C}'.

MSI (c) (14:44) [13:36:45:194]: APPCOMPAT: no matching ProductCode found in database.

 

Our main product is installed.  If you search the registry for the ProductCode GUID, It is there.  If I remove the main application, reinstall and then try to run the patch again, it still won't work.  If I jump back to the original snapshot, it works, but won't after the snapshot restore with the main app already installed.

 

Does this sound like some sort of disk corruption?

 

Hopefully I was clear about what I am seeing.

 

Cheers

Tom

Re: VMmark latest edition applied

1)

Great.

 

2)

In your VMMARK2.CONFIG file, you name "virtualclient0" as your client. 10.1.80.161. By Client0, I meant virtualclient0.

Please verify that:

1. You installed the correct version of STAF for your virtualclient0 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 virtualclient0 (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.

 

At the time that you ran VMmark, the following VMs were present in the cluster that should not have been there:

DeployTemplate1 PoweredOff 1        0.500 

deployvm1       PoweredOn  1        0.500 

You can see this listed in VC-listVMs.txt.

 

3)

You are not supposed to copy the same hosts file to all the VMs. For an example of the correct hosts file, deploy a new OlioWeb or OlioDB VM from the template and look at its hosts file.

 

On your OlioWeb VM, add the line:

10.1.80.164    olio-db

OR you can add the line:

10.1.80.164    olio-db oliodb0

Both are correct.

 

On your DS2Web VMs, add the line:

10.1.80.166    DS2-DB

Frozen ESXI5 host

Hi. We have an host that disconnected from vCenter. All the VMs are still running on it without problem, but we pray that they will stay online until our next maintenance period.

 

It's not the first time it happens in our cluster, and it's not always happening on the same host.

 

We can't connect to the host directly using vSphere client, but we can SSH to it. Unfortunately, in the ssh session, lot of the commands freeze forever. For example, I can't "cat" the log files and I can't do "ls /dev/volumes", etc.

 

In ps -s, the stuck processes are in the state WAIT   OCOBJS. Unfortunately, even Google can't tell me what OCOBJS is.

 

The host is running ESXi 5.0.0 768111, but similar issue happened to us on ESXi 5.0.0 914586.

 

Does someone has an idea about what's happening?

 

Thanks
