vRA forms - Composite Types & Dynamic types

July 28, 2016, 9:10 am
$

Hello,

 

Hoping someone else is doing crazy things with vRA that might be able to help with this.

 

I've been trying to find a way to pass a data structure like the below from vRA through to vRO:

 

An array of:

Name (string or DynamicType)

Size (number)

 

... where Name is based on a prepopulated selection. For example, Sandwiches - I need 3 Cheese & Tomato Sandwiches, and 15 Ham Sandwiches.

 

I can do this within vRO by setting the Name as a Dynamic Type - and this works well. However, when this is pulled into vRA the Array is cast into a Map control - but only shows the Size property. Any dynamic types here seem to disappear (presumably because there's isn't a suitable control within the Map - as far as I can tell, there is only a control for String, Number and Date).

 

When using an array of the Dynamic Type, the control only shows the Name of the dynamic type object.

 

Ideally what I'm after is something like the control within Storage when requesting a standard Blueprint.

 

I've had various ideas - e.g. using Name as a combination of Name-Size, but this means creating an item for every possible combination (lots!) and so having a large number of rows for selection. Also using multiple single-dimension arrays populating another - but this relies a on order. Using the sandwich example - adding 3 in the first control, then adding Cheese & Tomato in the second - the combination of which populates the 3rd control.

 

Hope that makes sense. Any ideas welcome!

 

Cheers,

Jon

Re: Backup Solution: From Vcenter - NAS -Other Server (Disaster Recovery).

Thank you, ThompsG.

.

Ok, here is what I did:

I created a ISCSI in the NAS (It is a QNAP), I mean target and LUN. Then in the Vcenter, I made the settings in order to see the the LUN. Everything seems to be fine but when I try to add Storage, no LUN appears, so I can't add it..

I created the VMKernels, the Software adapter, and in static discovery set up the Target and iSCSI Server Location correctly.

I appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Oops, forgot that one.

Try like this

    @{N='NTP Service Running';E={Get-VMHostService-VMHost$_|where{$_.Key -eq'ntpd'} |select-ExpandPropertyRunning}},

    @{N='DNS Server(s)';E={$_.Extensiondata.Config.Network.DnsConfig.Address -join' | '}},

Re: Serial ports

In theory you should just need to set this parameters in the vmx-file:

serial0.present = "TRUE"

serial0.fileType = "device"

serial0.fileName = "COM1"

serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"

serial0.autodetect = "FALSE"

 

serial1.present = "TRUE"

serial1.fileType = "device"

serial1.fileName = "COM2"

serial1.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"

serial1.autodetect = "FALSE"

 

serial2.present = "TRUE"

serial2.fileType = "device"

serial2.fileName = "COM3"

serial2.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"

serial2.autodetect = "FALSE"

 

serial3.present = "TRUE"

serial3.fileType = "device"

serial3.fileName = "COM4"

serial3.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"

serial3.autodetect = "FALSE"

Thinprint uses different parameters for serial0 - so Thinprint MUST be disabled.
Now comes the part you will not like:
last version of Workstation with which I could really use 4 serial ports in a XP-VM is Workstation 6.5.4
I never managed to do the same with later versions so I assume the feature is broken and never has been fixed.

Sorry I didn't explain well why i wanted to create a LUN in the SAn and add storage in the Vcenter. I am trying to add some storage from the SAN and then create a datastore in the Vcenter, once I do this, I will implement the VDP and backup the data to the new DATASTORE create from the SAN.

Thanks!

The attached files are empty and your screen shot does not show the full name for some files. Please fix that.
One of the things I usually check when I see this error is to boot the VM without changing anything in the config into a LiveCD.
From the LiveCD I then check the partitiontables (maybe the disk is no longer bootable because a flag is missing) and presence of boot-files like BOOTMGR or NTLDR.
Please avoid doing the same checks with a second VM !!!

Re: Redirect laptop keyboard and mouse to VM?

I don't currently have ESXi installed and running on my system, so I can't check, but do you know if it is possible to pass through the ISA bridge/LPC controller? After doing a bit of reading, it seems like that's the bus that handles built-in keyboards and touchpads. If I can enable passthrough for this device to a VM, it should work . . .

Re: New-SCSIController, issue adding new SCSI when connected to ESX or Vcenter

Hi,

 

Apologize for the delay. I tried checked the output of defaultviservers and it does in fact show both the vcenter and the esx server I have connected to. After doing that, I still get the following message:

 

"New-ScsiController       The operation for the entiry "my_vm" failed with the following message: "Access to resource settings on the host is restricted to the server that is managing it: 'x.x.x.x'.""

 

Where x.x.x.x is the ip of the vcenter I am connected to.

 

Pretty stuck at this point, any suggestions on how to move forward with this?

 

Thanks,

Andy

The question here is not about how much space you've inside that VM, but how much data is modified after you take the snapshot... if data is changed frequently, the snapshot will grow.

Good to hear.  We have been running the preload option since last Friday and like you it barely adds any additional time to user login.  We did however have one VM crash the other day, but its been the only one.

As you said the problem was with the boot order In my SCSI drives. As soon as the order was changed it worked.

Re: nfs3 and nfs4.1 datastore woes

I'm seeing the same issue with NFSv4.1 and no, I'm not mounting the share as both v3 and v4.1  I can have two separate shares, one v3 and one v4.1 and VMWare barfs every time on Storage VMotion or P2V to the 4.1  Version 3 works flawlessly.

 

Things I have tried:

  • Reduce NFS queue depth..
  • Drop NFSv4.1 to 1 IP address and wire (no session trunking)
  • Set server NFS file locking to insecure
  • Increased timeouts, on everything NFS.

 

It fails 95% of the time and leaves the shell folder on the destination share with the VMX file, an empty VMSD and 3 log files.  No VMDK files.

I've tried different servers with different kernel versions (Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 and Kernels 4.2.2 and 4.4.0 respectively) and the result is the same.

 

The log file is always the same:

Custom Inventory Report

Being generally new to PowerCLI, I've tried the "Frankenstein" approach to create a report that provides what we're looking for without success.

 

Running ESXi 5.5

 

Based on the Hosts & Clusters view we have the following:

One Cluster

     Several "Level 1" Resource Pools each of which contain:

          Reource Pools

               sub-Resource Pools

          vApps

               sub-Resource Pools

 

Each vApp has Notes that need to be included in the report.

 

Problem: 1) I cannot get a proper hierarchy listing of Resource Pools and vApps (vm,...,root resource pool) 2) I cannot find how to pull vApp notes

 

 

Thanks for your help...
