Re: shutdown VMs and patch esxi host

Hi Lucd,

 

I am trying something like this without the for loop

 

$DC = read-host "Enter the Datacenter to patch"

$vmhost = get-vmhost -Location (Get-Datacenter $dc)

$vms = get-datacenter $dc | get-vm | ?{$_.powerstate -eq "Poweredon"}

$baseline = get-baseline -server vc -Name *Critical*

 

 

if($vms.PowerState -eq 'PoweredOn'){

 

$vms | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false

 

while($vms.PowerState -eq 'PoweredOn'){

 

sleep 5

 

$vms = get-datacenter $dc | get-vm

}

 

it seems to work but how would i check if vmware tools is running befor i do a stop-vm?

Unmount storage options grey out

Hi,

 

Why is the unmount datastore option were grey out on this datastore ?

 

 

I dont use Storage IO Control.

 

This lun were result of replication (we are using Lenovo DM Series, source storage NetApp FAS 3000 series).

When mount Lenovo DM Series to new server, I use Keep signature option.

 

The strange part also, I need to do esxcfg-volume -M (persistent) on each hosts on the cluster.

 

Did the keep signature has affect on the greyed unmount datastore ?

 

please advice..

 

Thx

Is this method still working? I think todays technology is growing very fast and you have to keep a hand on with this upgraded technology so, it is necessary to get visa generator for this.

I've now solved my problem:

Firstly, kill by taskmgr  the VMware Tray process, then restart the host.

But there is bad news too, they start with black screen, but I think I can solve it. If I'll solve it, I will delete this reply, post a new one and put it into the correct answer

The $vms variable will be an array when more than 1 VM is still powered on, so you can't use the -eq operator.

With the -contains operator you should be able to check if there is still a VM that is powered on.

Something like this

 

$DC=Read-Host"Enter the Datacenter to patch"

$vmhost=Get-VMHost-Location (Get-Datacenter$dc)

$vms=Get-Datacenter$dc|Get-VM|Where-Object{$_.powerstate-eq"Poweredon"}

$baseline=Get-Baseline-Server vc -Name *Critical*


if($vms.PowerState-contains'PoweredOn')

{

   $vms| Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false

   while($vms.PowerState-contains'PoweredOn')

   {

     Start-Sleep5

     $vms=Get-VM-Name $vms.Name|Where-Object{$_.powerstate-eq"Poweredon"}

   }

}

VRA 7.5 ImportOvfWorkflow Blueprint 'Configure' button no action

Hi all, trying to configure a blueprint which is based on deploying an OVF.  So follow the guide, New Blueprint of type Server, Action: Create, Provisioning Workflow : ImportOvfWorkflow, URL: URL of OVF (validated as i can download the file from the location), press configure to start the wizard.

 

This is where it goes wrong, the configure button 'presses', but the wizard doesn't pop up.  I've tried three browsers (Chrome (default), IE and Firefox).  They all do the same thing.

 

is there another way to import an OVF into a blueprint?  create a blueprint with an OVF as the provisioning source, or does anyone know of a fix for the 'configure' button not working.

Solution:

 

Firstly, kill VMWare tray process by taskmgr or taskkill /IM VMware-tray.exe

Secondly, restart (make sure VMware Tray is enabled for automatic boot)

Then, turn off "Accelerate 3D graphics" in VM's settings.

It should work

IMO this looks like a bug in ESXi which I hope will be resolved soon.

 

What may work is:

  1. vmkfstools -V
    please note the upper-casse "-V"
  2. partedUtil fixGpt /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600a09803831357345244e4548346a2f
    in case you receive a warning, you may need to reboot the host at this point (see step 10 in https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2002461)
  3. cd /vmfs/devices/disks
  4. vmkfstools --growfs naa.600a09803831357345244e4548346a2f:1 naa.600a09803831357345244e4548346a2f:1
  5. vmkfstools -V

vSAN node restart for disk expansion

April 7, 2019, 2:37 am
$

Hello all,

 

We have a 3 node vSAN 6.0 cluster with 2 disk groups on each node (1SSD + 7HDD per group). We have purchased and added some extra disks on each node in order to create a new disk group and expand the overal vSAN capacity. The case is that the disks are not detected via HBA rescan, so we assume a node restart is required (probably H730P controller or firmware does not allow disk detection on hot-add).

 

Our concern is related to the free vSAN space, as of the total 45TB capacity, only 12.5TB are free. Our default vSAN policy has FTT=1. Would there be data loss when we will place in maitenance mode a vsan node (Ensure accessibility option), due to the small free space which is less that 30% of the total, as stated in vSAN best practices? Could we avoid data loss by setting FTT=0 on all VMs, in order to "erase" the replicas and consume less space which would then lead to increasing the free percentage (more than 30%)?

 

Thank you very much for your time
