View Load Testing: Ways to script commands to applications?
Hello,
I'm designing a simple load testing tool for a View environment and so far its going pretty well. Using command line arguments and some Powershell, I'm able to recurse through a list of users and connect multiple sessions to a View server and open a desktop and some RDS App sessions. My question is: Is there any way built in to pass a script in the command-line arguments that will execute some commands on that desktop or RDS App session? Nothing crazy, just type in Notepad, open a few programs, save a doc or two - the usual stuff to generate regular workloads.
I know VMware and third party companies have some tools for this, but they don't specifically meet my needs without extensive configuration and lots of hooks into our systems. I'm trying to keep the footprint of this test as small as possible so a simple Powershell script is the way I'd like to proceed. I'd assume Powershell has some method of doing this, but I'm no scripting guru nor is this a PS forum, so I was hoping there was something that already exists when I call the View connection that I could use.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Re: vRealize Configuration Manager
VFK,
That error looks like a similar one I encountered in my test installation. Have you tried just closing the window and moving on with the install? I was able to do that.
Regarding the account/permissions, this is what I distilled from the docs and our own install.
I hope this helps.
VCM Administrator used for logging in during installation and possibly for administrator and maintenance of VCM. (vcm-admin)
Network Authority used for data collection from DCOM Windows machines, data collection from Active Directory, and for Active Directory and NT domain discovery. Requires local administrator permission on any Windows machine that they access, and SQL Server sysadmin rights if collecting SQL Server data. When policies permit, and for convenience, make the Network Authority account a separate, domain administrator account with permissions on Windows machines throughout a large enterprise. (vcm-network)
Service accounts can be the same account (vcm-services)
*This account needs to be able to logon as a service.
Sphere Client VCM requires admin permission on VCM db. (vcm-vcops-adpt)
IMPORTANT Never use the service accounts for logging in to the VCM Console or for any other purpose. Logging in to VCM using a service account can lead to unexpected or inconsistent behavior. Services thatuse the same account as a logged in user might modify the logged in user's current role or the machinegroup, or log the user out of the system.
Admin/User accounts added
vcm-admin | Local/system admin |
vcm-services | Local admin |
vcm-network | Domain admin |
vcm-vcops-adpt | Local admin, non-interactive user, requires admin access in VCM. |
Add service account users to local admin on hostserver

Workstation 11.. Can't get VM to recognize USB Stick with win 10?
I literally have been banging my head against the wall for past couple of weeks trying to get my VM to recognize my usb stick. I had done it a couple of months ago with no issues and nothing with my hardware changed so I was clueless why it wouldn't work this time. I knew stick wasn't deffective.
Just had a eureka moment and realized I was using Win 8.1 when I got it to work last time. In the meantime I went to 10. I read somewhere that wIn 10 could cause issues with this situation. Is there an easy workaround ?

Re: Dell PERC H730p / LSI 3108 /Invader implementations
In regards to the LSI 3108 breaking down I/O to 128k blocks, is this for HBA mode only or also for RAID mode? I'm wondering what would be optimal raid0 stripe sizing now that I'm going to migrate everything back to raid0. Default is 64kb, and I see this KB VMware KB: VMware recommended settings for RAID0 logical volumes on certain 6G LSI based RAID VSAN with stripe 256k for settings but it's for h710 series which is a different chipset.
Anyone know if I should stick with default 64k stripe, use 256k stripe (from VMWare KB) or some other setting?

Error (404) Contacting vimService on vCenter Server
Hello All,
I have a customer who has downloaded the vCloud Suite SDK for Java and is trying to figure out how to programmatically interface with vCenter through the Java API.
The code examples show making a connection to a URL that resembles something like the following (taken from the code example):
String url = "https://" + serverName + "/sdk/vimService";
When they open a browser and try to go to vcenter URL plus /sdk/vimService they get a 404. The system administrator indicated that during the installation all default options were used. So it seems that either there is an option that needs to be selected during installation or it needs to be configured after installation. They've been going through VMWare documentation trying to figure this out but have not been successful yet. Nothing seems to indicate how the component/module/service is installed.
The only other tidbit of information they have is that they bought licenses for the VMware vSphere Essentials Kit. Hopefully they are entitled to install and use whatever is needed to get the Java SDK communicating with vCenter.
Regards,
Jeff Umbarger
Sr. Systems Engineer

Updating Windows 10 Enterprise 64 from 10074 to 10130 fails with LSI Paravirtual disk & View Agent gives BSOD on Ctrl+Alt+Ins\Del
I kept trying to update from build 10074 to 10130 and it would boot to the recovery wizard. Booting back in to windows it would report error 0x8024001e.
The VM had paravirtual disk controller. I added a second disk on SCSI 2:1 and changed that controller to LSI SAS and booted up and configured the disk. Then I shutdown and changed the paravirtual disk to SAS. Then the update worked fine. Could be a coincidence but I tried half a dozen times before.
Once updated, I changed back to paravirtual and things were fine, at least with boot up.
Trying to log in while View Agent 6.0.2-2331487 or 6.1.1-2769635 were installed results in a BSOD with error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (kbdclass.sys). Removing the view agent and Ctrl+Alt+Del works fine but now we cant use horizon view on Windows 10 Tech Preview. So sad.
So sad.

Re: VCP6 Study Books
That is a good question!
I have retired from writing for now, and will not be the author of the VCP6 study guide for Sybex. I have asked the editor for information about the new release. As soon as I hear back, I will post details.

Thanks, Brian.
I enjoyed your other Sybex books! I imagine that it takes a lot of effort to write one of those.

Re: vmkernel log filled with fcoe errors
I managed to get the messages in the vmkernel.log to stop. I don't know what the implications are of what I did, but it stops the messages My host isn't really running at VMs yet so only time will tell whether or not it's a problem.
I have 2 ports on my card but only one was plugged in. The errors were coming from the active port.
This is the command I ran:
esxcli fcoe nic set -n=vmnic0 --enable-vn2vn y
(I also ran esxcli fcoe nic set -n=vmnic0 -v=999, where 999 is a dummy vlan but then I changed it back to 0 which was the default and the messages still stayed away)
The command requires a reboot.
Since then no errors in the logs. Just wish I knew what I did

VM owner
I am trying to find out how to the listed owner of a VM in VCAC via a vco/vro workflow. The property "__Legacy.Workflow.User" does not provide what i need. I am doing imports and the "__Legacy.Workflow.User" show the user who ran in the import not the user who is listed as the owner of the vm. I would also like to update the "__Legacy.Workflow.User" so that is actually matches the true owner of the vm.
The problem comes from the fact that the import functions does not seem to set many of the properties that are normal set when the a vm is order through the order.

Re: Dell PERC H730p / LSI 3108 /Invader implementations
In my case, I don't think my SSD giving me any grief. I'm using a P3700 PCIe (not from Dell) and it's been very solid and no latency issues. From vsan.observer I usually see 2-4ms from client latency and a rare occasional spike to 10-15ms. This is on a fairly active development cluster.
All my VSAN drives are NL-SAS drives but the scratch/syslog disk i use is a 250GB SATA drive. Based on hill0795's comment regarding HBA reliability/performance and issues with mixing SATA/SAS on this card, I think best choice for me is switch back to raid0 for stability/performance.
I need to build out another VSAN cluster using Dell 13G hardware later in the year, going to see if Dell offers any true LSI HBA cards instead of H730/LSI 3108 based cards.

Привет!
Прошу поделиться опытом тех, кто проводил аудит среды на vSphere (сюда можно добавить околосферные продукты: VR, SRM, VDP и т.д.) (без уточнений по типу аудита). Меня интересует: методология, инструменты, отчёты, анализ результатов, сроки, реакция заказчика на результаты... с примерами.

Re: Cannot install ESXi 5.1 U1 or U2, getting CPU_CORES ERROR
I have X10SLM+-LN4F (Supermicro) motherboard, CPU is E3-1230v3, I've updated bios to v3.0 (not using jumper JMPT2 as it is not recovery, as said in manual). BIOS shows 4 cores, but ESXi shows 1 core (CPU_CORES ERROR) during install. The same thing with ESXi 6.0. Is there any chance to get it work? Thank you
