Missing a pre-defined group on vCenter

$
0
0

I recently migrated to VCSA 6.7

 

Today I needed to add some domain accounts to SystemConfiguration.Administrators and noticed it's not present on the Groups tab of SSO User and Groups. Naturally I attempted to create that group but no dice.

 

Any suggestions on how to restore it?


customization and Administrator password

$
0
0

Hello,

I'm trying to do a raw windows 2019 template and then use VmWare Using customization to do the rest.

 

info:

  • Template already has the build in "Administrator" with password
  • in the customization i set the same password
  • Generate a new security identity (SID) is checked
  • Check in log in automatically as Administrator once ( as i want to join domain and set hostname)

 

Issue: After customization is run,

Windows now asked for resetting the windows administrator password. Meaning that the login x time in the customization template will work only after manual reset.

This breaks the automation. Any way to fix this? (windows 2016 and windows 2019 tested)

Upgrading only vCenter from 6.5 to 6.7 without support agreement

$

Hello,

I have a client who doesn't want to extend service agreement for vSphere and vCenter.

Their current specs are ;

vCenter 6.5 8815520

vSphere: 6.5 8935087

 

As Flash support on all browsers ends by Dec, 2020, they have to upgrade to 6.7 Update3, but they don't have service agreement.

So I went to my.vmware.com and was able to download 6.7 Update 3 for vCenter. What is the consequence of installing this update for vCenter without service agreement?

Will it be just for them not having technical support if the upgrade encounters any problem?

 

Also, is it OK, just to upgrade vCenter only, not vSphere? I think it's OK as vCenter 6.7 supports ESXi vSphere 6.0...

Hi,

 

For unknown reason, VMware-vapi-endpoint this service failed to start on our vcsa 6.5, i tried to dig out by vecs-cli, but with no luck, here are the error messages:

 

#/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry list --store TRUSTED_ROOT_CRLS

Number of entries in store :    1

vecs-cli failed. Error 11: Possible errors:

LDAP error: Administrative limit exceeded

Win Error: Operation failed with error ERROR_BAD_FORMAT (11)

 

#/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli entry list --store TRUSTED_ROOT_CRLS --text | less

vecs-cli failed. Error 4312: Possible errors:

LDAP error: Unknown (extension) error

Win Error: Operation failed with error ERROR_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (4312)

 

Is it related to TRUSTED_ROOT_CRLS issue ?

 

Thanks

VCSA Build 6.7.0.44000 not listed in "Available updates" on one of my two vCenters

$

I'm planning to patch both my vCenters from 6.7 U2 to U3g. One VCSA shows 6.7.0.44000 while the other only goes up to 6.7.0.43000.

Yes, I have tried the "Check Updates" button.

Migrating to a new Active Directory Domain what needs to be done with vCenter?

$
0
0

My company changed it's name and therefore we have to migrate our Active Directory domain to a new domain.  I am unsure of what I need to do as far as vCenter is concerned.  I am thinking that I need to change the FQDN by following these instructions Changing your vCenter Server's FQDN - VMware vSphere Blog but just wanted to see if anyone out there has gone through a similar migration and has any advice as to what the right approach to this is.

Fail in vCenter server 6.0.0

$
0
0

Hi, first sorry for my bad English.

I have a vCenter version 6.0.0 with two ESXi version 6.0.0 with enterprise plus license here in my company.

It turns out that for some time now a failure started (error 503) when trying to open vCenter through the vSphere Client and I was also unable to access the "http://vCenter:5480".

Researching here in the community I saw that the failure could be caused by a full partition in the vCenter Server Appliance. Through some commands I was able to find and clear some log files that were occupying the entire space of at least two partitions.

My access to vCenter: 5480 is back to normal but I still have no access to vCenter.

Through some more research I found that several Vcenter services are not running. I tried to force the services to start, but I got an error and also restarted the aplliance virtual machine a few times but without success.

 

Questions:

I think that an update in vCenter to the latest version available and compatible with my license (6.7) could solve the problem. What do you think? Could it affect my virtual machines (approximately 25 VMs) installed on the hosts?

 

I have the license applied to my vCenter but I don't have it noted. Who installed it was another person who is no longer in the company. I need to get this license somehow. Do you have a command that can get that license number through a command via telnet?

 

Thank you,

Wendel

Requesting more than 1000 vms in REST API

$
0
0

Hello,

I am currently developing monitoring for some stats of vCenter such as VMS, hosts, and so on.

 

According to the documentation the limit of VMs returned by one API call is 1000.

Returns information about at most 1000 visible (subject to permission checks) virtual machines in vCenter matching the vcenter.VM.filter_spec.

 

Unfortunately I have to resort to retrieving a list of hosts and filtering VMS by those hosts because of the possibility of my users to have more than 1000 VMs on all their hosts.

Even with this solution there could be some VMs left unlisted if a single host has a huge amount of VMs.

Is there a way to remove that limit or to use pagination to get a complete list of all VMs?

vCenter 7.0 wrong build version

$

0

So i have build playground with 7.0 versions before actually moving prod to new version. Yesterday i encountered weird thing.

 

1. web client notification popped up , that there is new update for vCenter (thats really nice thing!)

2. since from default repos for vCenter nothing is being picked up i downloaded iso manually and patched appliance that way.

3. appliance patched without any issues and shows build version - 7.0.0.10300 build 16189094

4. web client still keep popping alert that patch is available and showing that build version is 16189207

 

what confuses hell out of me why the patched version 7.0.0.10300 (16189094) shows build number lesser than unpatched version 7.0.0.10100 (16189207)

 

p.s. initially it was installed from iso available in VMUG Adv repo (VMware-VCSA-all-7.0.0-15952498)

 

suggestions , how to fix that versioning missmatch ?

VCSA update to 7.0.0.10300 (build 16189094) - vCenter still informs "New vCenter server updates are available"

$
0

Hello,

 

I have upgraded vCenter from GA to 7.0.0.10300 (build 16189094). vCenter Management summary tab tells:

 

- Version: 7.0.0.10300

- Build number: 16189094

 

VCSA has been rebooted as well (even though upgrade did not ask for that).

 

When I log into vCenter i get the message: New vCenter server updates are available -> View Updates

 

In vCenter itself it tells me about version 7.0.0 (Updates Available), build 16189207.

 

Does anybody have this issue as well? Any idea how to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Robert

As stated in the 7.0.0a release notes - upgrading from 6.7 3g is not supported.

Whats should I do as my 6.7 VC's are all at 6.7 3g - wait I guess ? or has anyone tried an upgrade to 7.0.0a and it works ? It just isnt a supported upgrade ?

 

Extract from release notes below :-

IMPORTANT: Upgrade from vCenter Server 6.7 Update 3g to vCenter Server 7.0.0a is not supported. For more information on vCenter Server versions that support upgrade to vCenter Server 7.0.0a, see VMware knowledge base article 67077.

VCSA 6.5 won't boot start vpxd after thunderstorm unclean shutdown

I have a previously working vcenter appliance 6.5 that was in a bad state after an unclean shutdown from a thunderstorm. Initially it was not fully booting, but I ran fsck on the volumes that needed it, and it gets all the way to the running info screen. After that vpxd fails to fully start. I can't find any more volumes that are in a bad state, but it appears that I might have some SQL corruption. Note the SQL error below.

 

Error message when trying to open web client is: 503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http20NamedPipeServiceSpecE:0x00007faab404a230] _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName =/var/run/vmware/vpxd-webserver-pipe)

Hello everyone,

I have issue that my root account has expired. I'd tried to change password but there was no effect. I can login ssh and console. But I cannot patch and upgrade my vcsa. Are there any suggestions?

I've tried:

- pam_tally2 -r -u root

- passwd root

- I've made password "never expired" in /etc/shadow

But all this took no effect.

vcsa version:

vCenter Server 6.5 0a Express Patch 1
