#VMware #vSphere #vCenter 버전 7에서 버전8으로 업그레이드했을 경우, 백업의 JSON 파일이 잘못된 볼륨 정보를 저장하는 문제
[현상]
vCenter Servier Appliance의 백업 파일을 복원할 경우, 두번째 단계에서 백업 파일을 참조하여 복원하는데 실패한다.
[이유]
vCenter는 복원 2단계에 들어서면 구성 정보를 가져오기에 앞서 배포 VM 환경의 볼륨 크기를 확인하여 백업의 JSON 파일과 비교한다. v7에서 v8으로 업그레이드한 vCenter가 생성한 백업 파은 특정 볼륨의 크기 정보가 550으로 잘못 기재되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다.
버그 재현 방법은 모르나 재현되는 이가 있다

[해결]
vCenter 복원 절차로 1차 배포 후에 셸에서 각 볼륨 크기 확인 후, 백업 파일의 JSON 정보를 같게 수정하여 사용한다.

vmWare vCenter: „Migrieren“ (vMotion) ist ausgegraut (kurz notiert)
Heute wollte ich mal wieder eine VM migrieren und dabei musste ich feststellen, dass dieser Punkt "ausgegraut" war. Nun kann dies schon mal vorkommen, wenn zum Beispiel noch eine ISO-Datei eingebunden ist. Aber die "üblichen Verdächtigen" (Ursachen) hatte i

Ok folks #Problem solving time.

I've got what I believe to be a #networking issue.

My main quest:

Setup #VMWare #vCenter Auto deploy. It uses TFTP to install esxi on hosts via pxe.

The vcenter appliance has a TFTP server. But it's not actually mentioned in the docs!

So I can see the file requests on the server logs. But when it's time to transfer the file, it times out on the reads.

well, i guess you can't create a vm that uses a dswitch from the standalone host.

The #vSphere Automation SDK Protocol

Deep dive in the third alternative in the world of #VMware #vCenter #API technologies: after SOAP and #REST, discover the JSON-RPC inspired protocol:

My new blog post is about an issue in #VMware #vCenter that causes #vSphere #Cluster Services (vCLS) VMs fail to deploy. Because of this cluster functions like Distributed Resource Scheduler (#DRS) doesn't work. My post shows a solution for this problem.

8.0부터는 vCenter의 GUI 통해 바로 쓸 수 있음을 발견.

[#VMware] (#vCenter) no healthy upstream - https://www.2cpu.co.kr/vm/14304

vCenter는 VM으로 동작하기 때문에 마더보드 호환과는 거리가 멀고요. 호환성은 NIC 같이 표준 드라이버 없는 하드웨어를 제외하면 보통 워런티 문제라 보면 됩니다.

해당 메시지는 서비스 데몬 중 하나가 아직 시작되지 않아서 그렇습니다.

vSphere는 가상화 데이터 센터 구축을 위한 솔루션이라서요. vCenter는 기본 사설 DNS를 통해 FQDN 정방향 및 역방향 조회가 가능한 환경을 전제로 합니다. vCenter 배포 시 IP로만 운영하려 해도 DNS 조회는 필히 되어야 합니다.

DNS 문제가 생긴 상황인지는 잘 모르겠네요. DNS 문제면 보통 배포 2단계에서 실패하거든요.

I have a home lab consisting of various raspberry Pi’s, mini form factor machines, etc. For ease of management I was considering getting something like a Dell PowerEdge with bare metal #ESXi, #vCenter and visualizing all the systems. I would get a #VMUG membership for the vCenter license. My systems are not CPU intensive, running #homeassistant #pihole, #calibre, #nextcloud, etc.

Other than initial hardware cost what might be the downsides of this setup?

It would be a single point of failure if the hardware goes down. I would get RAID for storage and RAID BOSS to hedge against HD failure.

I am picking the more expensive Dell due to their fast support options.

Let’s hope the „VCSA-Gods“ have mercy today 😅 #VCSA8 #VCenter #VMware

I've installed #KB5021237 on Server 2019 DC and now I can't log onto #vcenter. Wonderful.

Me: I'll just quickly replace #vcenter certs
vCentre:

I wanted to share my #homelab current goals with the community here. I'm hoping to see what others are looking to #selfhost and learn with their lab.

I would like to learn the ins and outs of Zero Trust deployments including #SSO, various #IdPs, LDAP, #FIDO2 to replace #TOTP, Cert based Auth options, and LB/Proxying. I want to have a solid and secure load balancing / proxying portal to access my lab assets. Hopefully in a way that could be authenticated properly on each request. I know this can be cut many ways but I would like to determine my preference by testing many combinations to deeply learn the different approaches and limitations.

AI/ML - Looking to do a few things here. I want to run a variant of #StableDiffusion so I no longer have a cap on renderings like with #OpenAI. I want to run a #selfhosted equivalent of #Github #Copilot. Also would like to run something like #GPT-3 text generation and summarization in the lab. Lastly I want to containerize #Tesseract with a light frontend for image #OCR for general use.

Cluster capabilities: I have a long term plan of comparing the features of #Proxmox against #vCenter for lab use. I used to run standalone #ESXi for my lab and that worked fine except for the obvious limits of a single host lab. I wanted to learn to better deploy clusters and see how affordably you can utilize more advanced features. I have been happy with Proxmox but still have some things to work out. Eventually I will rebuild as a #vCenter cluster.

#IaC #scripting #programming - Looking to get more mature about my #CICD approach and understanding. Currently running #Terraform to deploy Prox VMs, have #Gitea, and post-deployment I use #Ansible. Looking to have a much more advanced build and test process.

I'll post more in another goals thread: Re: #Storage #NAS #Backup #OS #Networking #Containers #Kubernetes #AWS

I'd really like to hear what you're doing, big or small to use your lab to learn and experiment.
