It's not a supported setup (and I may have had to inject some network drivers - I can't remember), but this is all lab equipment so support isn't really that big of a deal. Our production gear is on the HCL.

 

I highly doubt that I'm going to be able to get 6.5 running on these servers - who knows, though?


Horizon 7 kiosk mode? Or another way?

I have a customer that is a library. They are interested in VDI. Their current authentication piece is complex as it uses a 3rd party software that replaces the default Windows login and integrates into active directory. Patron's are able to login to windows via their library card number/password

 

In order for me to make this work for them, I need to be able to have the physical PC's launch the horizon client on boot up and connect to a desktop pool without actually logging that person in to windows on the VDI session. The idea is that horizion will connect to a desktop and the 3rd party login will be displayed ready for the patron to enter their ID and Password.

 

Does anyone know how that can be accomplished?

NMP: nmp_ResetDeviceLogThrottling in vmkernel log

$
0
0

Hello all....  After updating to the latest 5.5 patches we started seeing some messages repeating at different times (no time pattern) in the vmkernel log on all of our hosts.  The message is:

 

cpu45:33681)NMP: nmp_ResetDeviceLogThrottling:3311: Error status H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Sense Data: 0x5 0x20 0x0 from dev "mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0" occurred 2 times(of 0 commands)

 

These messages repeat all day every day.  We boot from a supported SD card and the message indicates the USB device is to blame.  I opened a ticket with VMware, they stated that the messages are benign and nothing to worry about and are related to an updated SCSI driver in the patches we applied.  Basically the message is indicating that vmware is sending sense data to the USB controller which it does not understand and is sending back an illegal request.  Their suggestion was to reach out to HP for a firmware update. (we are at the latest FW on all hosts and I have tried backing down the FW to see if that would help) I have done that however I'm in the midst of a pissing match between VMware and HP both blaming each other for the fix so I'm turning to the community for help.

 

We have a mix of HPE DL380G8 & G9, and a spattering of ML350s at remote offices.  All of the updated servers are logging this message.

 

While I appreciate that the messages are benign they are causing noise in the logs and I'd like to figure out a way to 1) fix the issue (ideally) or 2) suppress the messages and 3) validate that the messages are indeed benign.

 

Are others seeing these same messages in their logs?  Given we have seen this on multiple hosts across multiple generations of HPE servers I'm inclined to believe others are seeing this as well?

 

To add to it, we recently purchased several DL360 Gen10 servers running 6.5.  All of those servers boot from SD card as well and log a similar message:

 

cpu40:65665)NMP: nmp_resetDeviceLogThrottling:3348 last error status from device "evi.00e04c20202020" repeated 2 times

cpu43:65665_NMP: nmp_ThrottleLogForDevice:3647 Cmd 0x9e (0x439d423a9200, 0) to dev "evi.00e04c20202020" on path "vmhba32"C0:T0:Lo" Failed: H0x7 D0x0 P:0X0

 

Thanks in advance for any advice on resolving this.

Was there some intention of using the -Server variable in this line:

 

$entity=Get-View-Id$entity.Parent -Server$Server

 

I get  A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Server' when trying to run that.

I had to add $Server as a function argument - I assume its not a global:

 

function Get-FolderPath{

 

 

    param(

 

 

        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true)]

Guess it is time to scrap VMWare Fusion 8.5.10 as there is no support and the software is now useless for me - No Boot Camp Volumes Found but there is one and Windows 7 runs fine on it, just no virtual machine thanks to VMWare lack of support

I frequently have the same issue with 10.1.1. I find that if I force quit "VMware Fusion" (which is listed as not respoinding, and has reasonably high CPU usage) in activity monitor, then reopen Fusion, the VM console opens immediately, and the VM is in a totally usable state. For me, it seems only to be the front end, not the actual VM which is the issue. This is in line with other comments that ping /  SSH to a 'hung' VM still work.

 

FWIW, just checked settings for my VM, has 512MB shared video memory. 4096MB allocated to the VM, 4 cores. 2015 MBP running High sierra 10.13.3.

Horizon 7 Ent license error "License data could not be obtained for this product type"

$

Hello,

 

I've bought a couple of Horizon 7 Enterprise licences and I'm really struggling to get them to work. I'm not able to easily use the support subscription as the part of my business that does the purchasing and licence transfer is next to impossible to contact.

 

When I enter the license numbers in View Administrator it gives the error "License data could not be obtained for this product type"

 

I have tried using the Powershell Set Key function and it says "No view licence found"

 

I could go back to purchasing, and say they've given me dodgy keys, but before I do that I really want to check it's not me at fault. It's also going to take weeks to resolve through them and I'd like to get my deployment in testing for the customer.

 

One thing I think that might be a problem is my ESXi licence is for VMware VSphere 6 Essentials Plus. I believe Horizon 7 Ent should have an ESXi license, and if so I will try to get hold of it. Could this be causing my issue?

 

I think most of my setup is built now, I have all the components in place, I need to sort out my root CA and certs for the boxes but otherwise I think it's all fine.

 

Is there any way I can validate my licence keys without having to login with the account that bought them?

 

Thank you for your time

Hi,

 

I have a new deployment of NSX 6.3.5. I cannot deploy any NSX controllers the OVA deployment shows the following error..

 

Operation failed on VC. For more details, refer to the rootCauseString or the VC logs

 

NSX Manager controller log shows the following...

Important things to note...

 

  • vCenter, PSC and all Machine SSL Certificates have been changed
  • NSX Manager SSL Certificate has been changed.
  • All SSL Certificates are signed by a Intermediate Windows 2012 R2 CA. All are trusted.
  • SSO NTP source identical to NSX Manager time source. Both show accurate time.
  • Those SSL Cert thumbprints in the error are not the thumbprints of either my vCenter or NSX manager.

 

Spent nearly a day on this and its driving me crazy. Anyone seen this?

 

Cheers

Re: VMX File is Corrupt - rebuild from log file?

Thank you, it did not work, however I did rebuild the VMX file based on a different log file (vmware-2.log) and that seems to 'work', but the machine states that it's Unable to open file "/Volume/markbook 2/Mark 082015/Boot Campe (Imported).vmwarevm/Boot Camp-000001.vmdk": One of the disks in the virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or by a snapshot.

 

I've also attached a screen of the machine's directory.

 

I've removed lck files, tried to restore from snapshots and changed the value on this to the main vmdk file ide0:0.fileName = "Boot Camp.vmdk"and am not sure what else to try to resolve. Any pointers would be great!

Thanks cbrewer, if it works then that's all I care about since the G6 will also be a lab setup. I am glad I saw your post. I was going to trash them at some point but running 6.0 opens the door for a whole another life for these work horses. Thanks!

Re: Configure App Volumes Settings (UEM 9.3)

Hmm.. I don't seem to be having the desired effect and/or expected behavior.   I set up according to the documentation here: Configure App Volumes Settings and it's still placing the OST file at it's default location of 'C:\Users\someuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\someuser@domain.com.ost

 

UEM did create the folder structure of: 'C:\snapvolumestemp\writable\UEM\OST'

 

2018-02-07 16:01:22.316 [INFO ] Collected App Volumes settings to apply for Offline Outlook Data File (.ost) ('Outlook OST redirection.xml')

2018-02-07 16:01:22.378 [INFO ] Applied App Volumes settings

 

and then further down

 

2018-02-07 16:01:24.488 [DEBUG] Conditions: Evaluating condition set 'Microsoft Office 2016.xml'

2018-02-07 16:01:24.566 [DEBUG] Conditions: Check for path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16' = false

 

I understand the condition set because UEM is likely running b4 the Office App Vol is attached.   That is another question I have, How can I rerun UEM condition sets in the allvolattached.bat file.   I currently have 'CMD.EXE /C "C:\Program Files\Immidio\Flex Profiles\FlexEngine.exe" -DirectFlexRefresh' but that doesn't seem to do the trick 4 me.

 

I'm running Office 2016 Stardard on this AppStack.  All the latest updates have been applied to office.

 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Unable to convert XP to a VM.

$

I've got ESXi running on a server, so I'm trying to clean up some rack space.  I have an old XP installation that I have to keep around for an old application we still support.  So I need to get this running XP installation converted to a VM so the program can still be enhanced and compiled, etc.

 

But, I can never get past 1%.  I keep running into:

 

FAILED: Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code:  2147754776 (0x80042318).

 

Now, I HAVE determined that in the event viewer I do see issues with the VSS system:

 

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: An internal inconsistency was detected in trying to contact shadow copy service writers.  Please check to see that the Event Service and Volume Shadow Copy Service are operating properly.

 

And, I also see some COM+ errors as well:

 

The COM+ Event System failed to fire the RequestWriterInfo method on subscription {F865A9A1-1E43-4688-8742-18E82CAFAFE6}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.  The subscriber returned HRESULT C0000005.

 

But, it seems that all of the links to Microsoft on how to fix this are now defunct.  I've found a number of things including some registry edits, stop some services and re-registering a bunch of dlls, and more... but nothing has worked.  And I can't do too much to this system, because it is a living environment with all of the right drivers and configurations to build the product.

 

So... looking for anyone who has had the same issue.  Or, is there another process that can be used to get this physical installation into a VM?  I've spent the last few days trying just about everything I can think of to make this work and keep ending up back in the same spot.

 

Anyone got some words of help and/or wisdom?

 

Rich

 

P.S. - Attached are the diagnostics from the most recent run, if anyone wants to peruse them.  Also, running the latest Converter Standalone 6.2.0 build-7348398
