Connection servers and UAGs both show wrong session count

$
0
0

I am working on monitoring connection servers with REST API right now and have some issues with counting sessions. For each connection server REST API shows nearly twice more sessions then there should be. For example: in the admin page dashboard session count shows around 2000 sessions but if I dig a bit further and open connection servers monitoring tab I can see there are around 550 sessions on each of them. We have six servers and their session sum is greater than 3300. We do not even have that much users and there can not be so much sessions on each connection server. Even at night each connection server has around 300 sessions which is ridiculous because there are as much as 200 night users at maximum for the whole VDI and connection servers session count should be 30 or 40. We also have six UAGs in front of our connection servers and their active sessions count (in edge service session statistics) is mostly right: it is 300-360 sessions per UAG which is an okay number. But why does it show thousands (tens of thousands sometimes!) of inactive sessions? One of my UAGs showing 322 active sessions and 5077 total sessions right now! It is 4755 inactive, 3807 Blast (WOW!) and 264 tunnel (seems okay). And this is just ONE of my UAGs. Another UAG edge service stat claiming there are 12528 inactive sessions (why keep them?) which is as much as x6 total user count. Surprising, isn't it?

So I want to ask if this is an expected behavior? What should I do to get a correct session count and how am I supposed to react at these numbers? With all these strange numbers my VDI works fine, but they still bother me.

My Horizon setup looks like this: firewall -> external L7 load balancer -> six UAG's -> internal L7 load balancer -> six connection servers. There are a number of internal clients connecting directly to internal load balancer bypassing UAGs but 95% connections are external.

Versions are: connection servers 7.12, UAGs 3.9.1.

Hello,

I upgraded my workstation to latest version 15.5.5. Now I cannot connect to shared VMs on another VM Workstation (V12.9) anymore.

The following error message appears (image type forbidden?):

"Unable to connect to the MKS:

vim.fault.GenericVmConfigFault."

The log file of the remote VM indicates:

  • Failed to start server on WebSocket pipe, error 1: Asyncsocket error
  • Expiring webmks ticket ....

 

Can anyone help? Thank you in advance

Few VMs marked as invalid upon creation

Hi,

 

When trying to create a set of VMs programmatically or through a script, few VMs are marked as invalid in the vCenter.

This error message is seen in the events list:

"One or more configuration files for the virtual machine cannot be found"

Possible cause:

The datastore on which this virtual machine resides may be inaccessible.

 

However other VMs are also present in the same datastore and are created successfully.

Has anyone faced this issue before? I would appreciate any pointers on this issue.

 

Thanks,

Priya

VRF Lite configuration

Hi all,

Need some advise to configure VRF lite, please.

 

My doubt is:
- can i have only two segments configured in trunk mode (0-4094) to use in all the VRFs that i will create? Where segment #1 have an uplink teaming policy that forces the connection to ToR 1 and segment #2 have an uplink teaming policy that forces the connection to ToR 2, Or for each VRF that i create, i should have two segments?

 

Thanks.

Regards.

How can reinstall a new VCSA? What needs to be done? I don't want setup again my user and access rules for my VMs.

Hello,

 

Can anyone tell me how to disable the password complexity requirement on Photon OS v2.0 &/or v3.0 please?

 

I know this is not a best practice, but I want to use it in my lab environment and it enforcing a complex password is a real PITA.

Buon giorno

 

devo installare l'ultimo aggiornamento della versione (1909)di windows 10 a 64 bit, ma quando provo ad installare il pacchetto, questo viene bloccato con Vmware in quanto windows non lo vede piu compatibile ; mi richiede di disinstallarlo per continuare con l'aggiornamento di Windows

 

Come posso fare ??

Se comprassi la versione 15.5 ho letto che le macchine virtuale devono essere a 64 Bit altrimenti non funziona ? Vero??

I am running Fusion under Catalina Version 10.15.6

 

Using Fusion Professional Version 11.5.6 (16696540) I built a Linux client.  I shutdown the client and restarted.  Fusion reported the following problem:

I inspected the package content and the "missing" file is there.  What's going on?

This error is only happening when publishing Windows 10 (1703, 1809) snapshots to the pool. Seeing the following:

  • The snap publishes to the pool
  • The machines in the pool are created and they are not powered on.
  • The machines are renamed and joined to the domain.

 

VMware says there is a hotfix to address the issue. Is everyone experiencing this issue? Is no one creating Win10 instant clone pools?

Visio 2016 - Keeps running Office 2016 configuration

To create this app stack:

  1. Downloaded Visio 2016 VL from MS VLSC (verified it is not retail version)
  2. Followed instructions from here to build Office 2016 on the ref image: VMware Knowledge Base
  3. Created a new app stack on this ref image VM, using the Visio 2016 MSI installer previously downloaded.
  4. Ran cscript.exe ospp.vbs /rearm

I get the Office setup, whenever this Visio 2016 app stack is assigned.

 

As part of troubleshooting I have:

  • Run the Office 2016 repair while provisioning
  • Run the Office 2016 and Visio 2016 repair during provisioning
  • Created the app stack on a 'vanilla' VM without Office 2016 suite

Resuming multiple VMs produces incorrect screen resolution in first Windows guest

$
0
0

When I suspend all VMs in VMware Workstation Pro, using vmrun suspend, and then resume them all using vmware -x, the Windows VM in the leftmost (first) tab always resumes at the wrong screen resolution: the default 640x480. Anybody else experience this? Any tips?

 

To reproduce

1. Run VMware Workstation Pro with two or more VMs running in tabs. (For me, it's VMs for Windows 10 Professional and Windows XP.)

2. Set the screen resolution in both VMs to 1920x1200 pixels.

3. Suspend all VMs by running:

 

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/vmrun list | grep -v '^Total' | while read vm

do

echo "$0: suspending '$vm'"

vmrun suspend "$vm"

done

 

4. Shut down VMware Workstation Pro by clicking the close icon on its main window.

5. Restart VMware Workstation Pro, resuming all VMs, by running:

 

#!/bin/bash

# Substitute the names of your own .vmx files below

vmware -x \

"$HOME/.vmware/WindowsXP/WindowsXP.vmx" \

"$HOME/.vmware/Windows10Pro/Windows10Pro.vmx" \

>& /dev/null &

 

6. BUG: The leftmost (first) VM tab opens with its VM screen resolution set incorrectly to 640x480. The rest of the VMs are at their correct screen resolutions (1920x1200). It doesn't matter which Windows VM is in the leftmost tab -- the problem still happens.

 

System specs

  • VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.6 build-16341506
    • VMware Tools is up to date in all VMs
  • Ubuntu Linux Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
  • KDE Plasma 5.12.9
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2

 

This problem has been present for several major versions of Workstation Pro, not just version 15.

HyperV VM Conversion Issues

$

0

Hey all,

 

So I'm having a slight issue that I've not seen or experienced before with the converter tool.

I've made sure I've disabled UAC and made the appropriate GPO and updated the host file to make sure there's no DNS issues.

I'm using local Administrator account on the HyperV Host and the administrator@vsphere.local for the vCenter cluster.

 

A little more info on the topology

 

Source

2019 HyperV Cluster using CSV storage

 

Destination

Esxi 7.0d and vCenter Server 7.0b

 

Essentially I can create the job OK and it creates the VM on the VMware and then sits at 1% for around ~5mins and then fails with a "A file I/O error occurred while accessing"

 

I can SMB to the HyperV host and then into the Clustered CSV folder and copy the VM's VHD at around 800MBps from the server with vCenter Converter installed on it..

 

I just can't put my finger on the issue.


Thanks again

Matt

How to avoid VPN on host and only connect to LAN on host?

$
0
0

So I've got this work computer... yes it has too many group policies preventing me from what I want to do so I installed a VM using Player trying to set up my own stuff in the VM. I'm struggling to set up the VM's network so it bypasses work VPN on the host and only acts as another computer on my LAN. Is this possible?

 

The VPN is Citrix Gateway, the network connection for the VPN is on Citrix Virtual Adapter network adapter. Windows 10 Enterprise.

 

In addition, the PC has cellular capability. But I don't think it's possible to bridge the VM to the cellular adapter? It's a DW5820e Intel 7360 LTE-A cellular adapter.

 

I could set up a proxy server on my LAN and just use the proxy server. Citrix Gateway is letting me have access to my LAN. But I want to explore if it's possible to have the VM completely separate from the VPN connection and only use my LAN connection, wired or wireless.
