Re: How to create symlinks on a Linux guest's shared folder (VM WS 7.1.x)?

Having faced this challenge too, I eventually figured a way around it: using SAMBA.

 

I simply installed SAMBA on the Linux guest and set up a folder (with a 777 permission setting) which was then accessible from the Windows host with full read/write capability. Note that I set up the ubuntu (guest ) VM to use bridged networking, so the folder can then be mounted as a network share in Windows.

Forward SSO Logs to Syslog Server with vCSA 6.0

Hello,

 

I've successfully configured a vCSA 5.5 to send syslogs to a remote syslog server including the SSO logs for authentication auditing. I followed William Lam's post about this on his virtuallyGhetto blog. I recently deployed the vCSA 6.0 in my lab and have noticed that the syslog facilities are entirely different in 6.0 vs. the syslog-ng config in 5.5. I followed his post about the native syslog feature in vCSA 6.0, but didn't find anything about sending custom logs:

 

A preview of native syslog support in VCSA 6.0 | virtuallyGhetto

 

So the big question is:

 

Does anyone know of a way to forward (send) syslogs like the SSO logs to a remote syslog server in vCSA 6.0?

 

Thanks!

Re: copy paste not working ... simple stuff

tried just to see if that might be it .. no joy .. anyway .. how many times do we have to install the tools? VCSA says they are installed and running....

same thing is happening in my fusion VMs .. no copy paste there either....

 

stumped !!

 

any other ideas?


Mac OS 10.11.5 Update Killing Windows 10 VM Performance in Fusion 8?

Has anyone else noticed a significant VM performance degradation after updating their Mac host OS to 10.11.5?

I've got screen lag all over the place, and it's killing my productivity.

Any word on when VMWare will issue an update, and what I should do in the meantime?

Problem integrating vRO 7 with vSphere 6 web client

Hello,

 

I recently upgraded to vShere 6 (6.0 U1) , I created a new vRo appliance (7.0.1) and imported all the workflows from vCO 5.5. The vRO appliance works fine but there is an integration issue with the web client. I have followed the workflows to add the extension  to the web client, and they completed successfully.

 

https://orchestration.io/2015/09/28/deploying-vrealize-orchestrator-6-0-3/

 

Unfortunately I can't get the vRO server to show on the weblcient. Looking at the vsphere_client_virgo.log I noticed the following entries:

When I go to the vCenter I can download the package without problems, I even added the self signed cert to the server to avoid the security warning.

 

Any help on this matter is highly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Routing on ESXI 6 is not working at all

Hi Guys ,

i have esxi  main ip

149.56.22.104

and on that ip , the provider routed to me 1 others ip so that i use it .

so , for now I'm using the esxi and access it gui/ssh on the main ip 149.56.22.104

 

my problem is i want to give the  other ip to 1 machines on the same esxi machine .

i have  centos boxe and here is how I'm willing to give them the ips .

 

i create vmkernel port and gave it ip 10.20.30.1 on the esxi .

the routed the 1 ip that i have to this machine on centos

on centos i have an ip 10.20.30.1 on eth0 of centos and i added the 1 ip as secondary ip.

 

here is config :

[root@ns529592:~]  esxcfg-route -l

the problem now is :

 

i can debug  on esxi that the traffic hit the esxi itself for the additional ip  149.56.173.246  ,but it don't go to 10.20.30.2

 

i did tcpdump on both esxi and centos

 

the traffic hit the esxi for the ip 149.56.173.246 which is my centos , but it don't reach or go to the cantos box

 

 

im not sure why esxi don't route the traffic and I'm sure my routing table is fine

 

can you help me ?

 

here is a screen shot for more info about esxi networking

Multiple Certs = Multiple Required Classes?

I am currently VCP6-DCV certified and want to get certified in a different track (i.e. Desktop & Mobility), do I need to complete another 5 day training class just to take the exam or can I just self study and use OTJ experience?

 

Thanks!

Re: vMA 6.0 Active Directory user login

tomsmig - just as akarydas2 mentioned, you need to comment out the "Allow Groups" line in the sshd_config file.  This is mentioned in the original vMA 6.0 release notes.  You can do this by first logging in to the vMA as the vi-admin user, and then running the following command:

sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Once in the file, arrow down to the "Allow groups wheel" line and press letter "i" to insert and then place a "#" at the beginning of the line.  The line will turn blue when it is commented out.

To save it, press "Esc" then enter a colon ":" then type "wq" (write + quit)

Next, type: sudo reboot followed by the vi-admin password.

After the vMA has rebooted, you can SSH via PuTTy using your administrator@class.local  credentials.  There is no need to append "@vma1" to the end.  I hope this helps!

Re: Problem integrating vRO 7 with vSphere 6 web client

For security reasons (POODLE attack and others) vRO 7.0.1 has TLSv1 protocol disabled by default. So if a client application like Web Client tries to open a connection using TLSv1, it will be rejected.

 

There are 2 option to work around this issue:

  • The first option is to configure Web Client to use TLSv1.2 or TLSv1.1 outgoing connections. I don't have the exact steps to do so at hand. I think there were plans to fix this in vSphere 6.0U2 but I'm not sure what happened.
  • The second option is to configure vRO server to accept TLSv1 connections. To do so, connect to the vRO appliance, open the file /etc/vco/app-server/server.xml for editing, and replace the attribute:
    sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"

  with

    sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2"

 

After that you'll need to restart vRO service for changes to take effect, using the following Linux command:

 service vco-server restart

Re: Multiple Certs = Multiple Required Classes?

No, if you hold a valid VCP, you can do another VCP exam for different tracks without the official classroom requirements.

Are VMware Tools Operating System Specific Packages (OSPs) Deprecated?

I ask because the repos at Index of /45848/tools/esx/latest do not show a "rhel7" folder and when I installed the latest packages in the "rhel6" folder on a CentOS 6 VM, vmtoolsd started but vCenter could not see the tools, they were stuck in "upgrading".

 

Is anyone using the OSP repo successfullly in CentOS?

Rename folders inside Datastore

Hello All,

 

I am trying to rename some folders and files within my local datastore. 

This is what I see in my local datastore

/

TestBiz-(this is a VM)

.sdd.sf

TestNav-(this is a VM)

apps

images

 

TestBiz contains

TestBiz01.vmdk

TestBiz01-000001.vmdk

TestBiz01.vmx

TestBiz01.nvram

vmware.log

TestBiz01.vmsd

 

Now my problem is this.  The two VM's names should be switched.  TestBiz should be TestNav.  If I rename not only the folder but the files themselves will that break my servers?

 

I'm aware of the mix up but I dont want others in the future to get confused. 

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks in advance
