what you guys use for production vm storage?

i mean explicitly not labs / homes but something you roll in the office you don't own yourself

 

would you put into production some free solution with allowed commercial use (no eula violation! ) but with community only / limited vendor support?

 

what would be a game changer for you? say going freenas (free) -> truenas (paid) upgrade?

 

tnx!!

hi Msoni,

Start with the HTML-bridge documentation in html-bridge/docs, it includes a tutorial and several examples.

After you go through that go ahead and post specific questions.

 

Note that the Web Client SDK doesn't include any UI component per se, you need to pick your own Javascript framework to build the UI inside your HTLM views. The extjs-chassis sample shows how to include Ext-JS but there are more modern frameworks out there, such as AngularJS.

Hi iiToby, Thanks for the 2 cents worth! As someone new to VMware and ESXi, your feedback at least gives me a reality check. I certainly don't feel forced into using the Web client, as I can't use the web client! The best sense I can make is that I should manage my ESXi VMs using the included vSphere "Client for Windows." Yea, it's a pretty confusing product line they have going. Thanks for the input!

Hyperic HQ Plugin: Monitor External Hard Drives

$
0

Hello dear forum members.

 

I have been trying to figure out how to make a plugin to monitor the external HDs mounted on our Agent machines and I feel like I'm facing a brick wall.

 

I have read quite a few tutorials and have some code already written but I don't know what to do.

 

The server can identify these external hard drives through the View~>Live Exec: df command but it won't show up as a resource so I can, then, add alerts and so on. So I guess writing a plugin is the solution.

 

Does someone know of a way to do this, or have already written one or something similar that I could adapt? I would appreciate it very much.

 

*sorry if this is the wrong place to ask for code/tips regarding the plugin I need&


Windows 7 SP1 C drive disk space question

$
0
0

Hello,

 

We are running a Windows 7 SP1 32Bit VDI environment on the following:

 

ESXi 5.0.0

vCenter Server 5.0.0

vSphere Client 5.00

View Horizon 5.1.0

View Compose 3.0.0

vShield Manager 5.02

VMware Tools 8.6.15 build 2495133

 

The Windows 7 image has 2 drives of interest:

 

C:\ (Windows System files, Program Files, Windows, etc)

D:\ (User Profile)

 

The issue is the C drive is a 30GB Thin Provision disk in total, with about 6GB of free space.

I have the system restore turned on but its only using about 3% of disk space (900MB).

The only thing that gets installed are the Windows updates on patch Tuesday.

The programs we use in are static, they don't really change.

So no new installs of any kind and the users don't have access to install any applications from the internet.

I regularly run the disk cleanup for the C drive, but find that not much space is reclaimed.

I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent growth on the C drive?

Anything else that I can delete or trim down so that the C drive doesn't grow?

Or is my only option to just increase the 30GB disk which I really don't want to do.

 

Thanks for your help

Re: Use sendNavigationRequest to navigate to native vsphere views using htmlbridge?

How should we format an Object's ID if we're trying to link to that object's summary (or other) view?

 

For example, if I'm trying to link to the following datastore object summary view...

https://blahblahblah#extensionId=vsphere.core.datastore.summary;context=com.vmware.core.model::ServerObjectRef~913C774C-6F46-456C-9F10-9A13BE18C612:Datastore:datastore-17~core

...In my code, all of the following links (which require an object ID) do not work:

<a onclick="WEB_PLATFORM.sendNavigationRequest('vsphere.core.datastore.summary', 'datastore-17')" href="#">datastore1</a>
<a onclick="WEB_PLATFORM.sendNavigationRequest('vsphere.core.datastore.summary', 'datastore-17:913C774C-6F46-456C-9F10-9A13BE18C612')" href="#">datastore1</a>
<a onclick="WEB_PLATFORM.sendNavigationRequest('vsphere.core.datastore.summary', 'Datastore:datastore-17:913C774C-6F46-456C-9F10-9A13BE18C612')" href="#">datastore1</a>
<a onclick="WEB_PLATFORM.sendNavigationRequest('vsphere.core.datastore.summary', 'context=com.vmware.core.model::ServerObjectRef~913C774C-6F46-456C-9F10-9A13BE18C612:Datastore:datastore-17~core')" href="#">datastore1</a>

 

Each time any of the above anchor links  are clicked, the following line appears in the vsphere_client_virgo log, but no route change occurs:

[2015-05-04 16:53:17.890] [INFO ] http-bio-9443-exec-194       70002904 100001 200001 org.springframework.flex.servlet.MessageBrokerHandlerAdapter      Channel endpoint secure-amf received request. 

 

Just to note, the following generated link (which links to the datastore list view and therefore doesn't need an object ID) works correctly when substituted for any of the above anchor links in my code:

<a onclick="WEB_PLATFORM.sendNavigationRequest('vsphere.core.viDatastores.domainView')" href="#">datastore1</a>

Re: VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has shut down Windows.

Hi lopezal1,

 

There are many (many many many many) possible causes of the message "VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has shut down Windows"...  The one Paulv45 mentioned has most definitely been addressed in the VMware Fusion 7.1.1 update.

 

If you are running the very latest Tech Preview of Windows, you might well be encountering the same problem as over in this thread: VMware VMX Crash Running Win 10 x64 Build 10074

 

The error message is very different on Fusion, but what you're seeing is what Fusion would show for the same failure.

 

Feel free to start a new thread if you are unsure, and upload the .zip file -- or probably just the vmware.log from inside the virtual machine's bundle (see VMware KB: Locating the virtual machine bundle in VMware Fusion) would be enough to figure out what's happening.

 

Thanks,

Hello,

 

Just now I installed vmware 2.5.5 in Debian 8 and when I open I have this error:

 

Screenshot_Error_VMwarePlayer.png

 

I executed this:

 

apt-get install build-essential

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include

     ln -s ../generated/utsrelease.h

     ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h

 

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

gcc and kernel headers must be installed

     ln -s ../generated/uapi/linux/version.h

 

 

I don't know what more I can make.

 

A greeting and thanks.

We are replacing all computers from XP to Win 7 and standard build have IE11 and way newest JRE that this app needs. How can I create vApp in that case. What should be an original stage and final stage? Thank you.

Re: vCO + Powershell Host - little doubt

Thank you for answer me.

I resolved my problem setting to each VM target one PowerShell Host.

I create (temporarily) a PowerShell Host, after I invoke the commands and after I destroyed the PowerShell Host.

I don't know if this is better way, but works.

 

I needed configure the service WinRM in template Windows.For that, I followed the link VMware vCenter Orchestrator Plug-In Documentation Center.


A guy, told me to research about a plugin called flowgrab. I still don't researched, but this plugin looks like I can to execute commands inside the virtual machine through of vmware-tools. Looks like interesting!

Link to research -> https://flowgrab.com
