Re: 2 Question regarding Fusion 8

Hi,

 

Welcome at the VMware community forums.

 

1. AFAIK there is no difference between Fusion 8 and Fusion 8 Pro on this part.

See also : Compare VMware Fusion 8 to Fusion 7, Fusion 8 Pro

There is no mention there.

 

To be fair I never pause my guest on closing the lid, I just keep it running, all of Fusion pauses just fine for me.

 

2. You should certainly uninstall all Lenovo specific software that talks directly to hardware that no longer is available.

 

Also you can specify in your Virtual Machine Settings if you pass the power state to the guest or not.

 

Menu -> Virtual Machine -> Settings -> Advanced -> Pass Power status to guest.

I guess that's what you checked already. It should just work.

 

I take it that you already did install VMware Tools?

 

Hope this helps,

Re: How to get VCP6-DCV with active VCP5-DCV

Have a look here: 2V0-610 vs 2V0-610D

 

Your expiry/recertification date for all your VCPs will be 2 years from when you pass either of the 2 exams you are asking about.

I agree with you. This model of certification goes against individuals economics and usually the enterprise takes a cicle to upgrade the most agressive on that takes around 3 years to implement new technologies.

 

I agree he formation should constatly update but would be nice no lost previus earned certifications .

i know what to use

 

 

can someone guide ?

 

 

eg i know its Get-VIEvent

Re: Trying to follow KB: 2118939 - Replacing the Lookup Service SSL certificate on a Platform Services Controller 6.0 - ls_update_certs.py - FAILURE

So I may have made some progress...

 

The part I don't think I mentioned before, is that I was also having previous failure when trying to use the certificate-manager.bat method to install the signed machine certificate. So I instead had to find a 3rd-party tool to install the certs this last time (there was a time when the certificate-manager worked).



Supposedly vCenter 6.0 U2 is said to fix the issue with the Lookup Service 'certificate thumbprint registrations' not updating, in order for the external services to work. But they said it only works if you use the certificate-manager.bat method to update, but I was getting the 'error with rollback' messages using it. So when trying to follow these other KBs on how to use the ls_update_certs.py method to fix it I was also getting errors.

 

certificate-manager.log:

2016-04-07T19:08:02.522Z INFO certificate-manager MACHINE_SSL_CERT certificate replacement failed. SerialNumber and Thumbprint not changed after replacement, certificates are same before and after

2016-04-07T19:08:02.525Z ERROR certificate-manager Error while replacing Machine SSL Cert, please see C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\vmca\certificate-manager.log for more information.

2016-04-07T19:08:02.525Z ERROR certificate-manager 'exceptions.Exception' object has no attribute 'appendErrorStack'

2016-04-07T19:08:02.528Z INFO certificate-manager Performing rollback of Machine SSL Cert...

 

This article seems to provide some potential clue as to what I need to do:  VCSA 6.0: Replacing external-facing SSL certificates by CA signed certs

 

The only problem there is that my vCenter / PSC is running on Windows and the steps they are suggesting are for the vCSA appliance..

 

So I will need to research the correct conversions of the commands unless someone who reads this may have some experience with the procedure detailed there, or perhaps have enough background with both systems to provide some direction..

Hi, guys!
Thisquestion has been raised, and I'm sorry, butI do notknowwhat to do...


So, on the hostis Workstation, and inside it - ESXi 6.

I installedVCSA,usingVsphereСlientgained access to theESXi, all correct, VCSA works.


Next, I wentthrough thevSphere Web ClienttoVCSA,trying to create adatacenter,addtoitthe ESXi,as describedin manymanuals-butnothing happens!


(I,m sorry, I tried toattachscreenshots,using the "attach image" button, but the error"Thisimage type is forbidden"(???) is don'tgiveto do it...)

What am I doing wrong?Why inventory is empty? Please, explain it in simple terms)))


And another question, you can see it on the first screenshot: "Could not connect one or more vCenter Server Systems: https://192.168.1.110:443/sdk" - what is this, and is it important?


P.S.
Allipaddresses are usedfrom192.168.*.*
Domainnames are not used, i have simply home router.


Thanks to all in advance!

According to the linked information and what is publicly available VxRail also only scales in 4 node increments.

Another solution that does scale in 1 node increments is Nutanix solutions and can scale from 3 nodes to 100:rds of nodes.

This should get all events initiated by the specified user over the past 7 days.

 

$user = "domain\username"
Get-VIEvent -MaxSamples ([int]::MaxValue)  -Start (Get-Date).adddays(-7) | Where-Object Username -eq $user

 

If you want an exported CSV

$user = "domain\username"
Get-VIEvent -MaxSamples ([int]::MaxValue)  -Start (Get-Date).adddays(-7) | Where-Object Username -eq $user | Export-Csv C:\path\UserEvents.csv -NoTypeInformation

No, I guess I spoke too soon..

 

My errors and their errors are caused by different things.. The last issue I posted was caused because I had been trying to replace the cert with the same cert so it couldn't change it..

 

The underlying issue in my environment is still the same error as in the first post:

 

ERROR certificate-manager 'lstool get-site-id' failed: 1

 

 

Same error on both tools the ls_update_certs.py (which invokes lstool.py) and the certificate-manager.bat

 

And the underlying error is still related to java:

 

com.vmware.vim.vmomi.client.exception.SslException: com.vmware.vim.vmomi.core.exception.CertificateValidationException: Server certificate chain not verified

Caused by: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated at sun.security.ssl.SSLSessionImpl.getPeerCertificates(SSLSessionImpl.java:421)

 

thus causing the error:

Exception: 'lstool get-site-id' failed: 1

 

 

I've even tried adding the certs into Java for both VMware Java cacert store and the machine install of Java cacert store and it doesn't help.

 

 

If I can't figure this out it would be a shame to have to re-install 2 vCenters in this cloud POC all for such a silly problem.. Man why are certificate issues always such a challenge? ..hehe

Wila thank you for the response.

 

For question 1 my VM does not automatically suspend when I close the lid of my MacBook so if this a something Fusion8 can do I'd be interested to know how to turn on this feature as I haven't found away of doing so.

 

For question 2 I unfortunately cannot uninstall the Lenovo software the clone was created from my work laptop for which I am not the administrator.  I did check the setting you mentioned and it does not just work unfortunately.

Ahhhh-hah... I figured out the problem.

 

If I manually run the command:

 

"C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py" list --url https://vcenter.domain.local/lookupservice/sdk"

 

Then I get good output.. Command works awesome.

 

 

But just as a hunch I had to check something out, I decided to see what happens when I run the same command with the '--no-check-cert' switch like as follows:

 

"C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py" list --no-check-cert --url https://vcenter.domain.local/lookupservice/sdk"

 

...and guess what? I got the SAME java error as in all the other scripts: "peer not authenticated "

 

So then I went over to the VMware lstool scripts folder ( C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\ ): and opened lstool.py with notepad and could see that it simply invokes another script in the same folder called: lstoolutil.py

 

I then opened that script lstoolutil.py in notepad and did a search for the string: --no-check-cert   ...and there were 5 instances where various commands were calling this switch. So I commented out ( # ) all 5 lines calling this switch, saved file, and re-ran the original script: ls_update_certs.py ...and WHAH-LAHH  Hooray!

 

Line 52:  #                                "--no-check-cert",

Line 74:  #                                "--no-check-cert",

Line 85:  #                                "--no-check-cert",

Line 121: #                                "--no-check-cert",

Line 139: #                                "--no-check-cert",

 

 

 

Then just to check I run again: "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\lstool.py" list --url https://vcenter.domain.local/lookupservice/sdk"

 

...and can confirm that all of the service registrations show the 'SSL Trust' field using the new certificate key.

 

 

Problem solved.. Let this simply a a journal for others to follow in case they encounter the same issue...

Essentially the most part of that KB is so you can retrieve your old key Thumbprint, and get the new certificate file ready so you can ultimately run the following command:

 

"C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\VMware Identity Services\lstool\scripts\ls_update_certs.py" --url https://vcenter.domain.local/lookupservice/sdk --fingerprint a535d17cb453dacb3dc170e7227481f0b6452db8 --certfile C:\certificates\new_machine.crt --user Administrator@vsphere.local --password "Passw0rd!"

 

..which is the script that actually swap the old SSL Trust key on all the service registrations so your external solutions like NSX Manager, SRM, etc can register again..

I can see above entry in hostd.log repeatedly. your root account is being locked due to multiple authentication failures, and by default overtime it gets locked, will remained in locked state for 2 minutes before it gets released.

 

is your host Exposed to internet directly? and is it having SSH enabled all the time?  If so, why don't you disable SSH or make the host inaccessible from public network, and see if the symptoms you are noticing are still happening.

because since log entries are showing nearly 60 to 70 failed logon attempts in every lock log entry, is not normal.
