View Planner 3.6 and vCenter 6.5 support

$
0
0

Hello All,

 

We are having an issue getting the 3.6 View planner appliance to connect to our vCenter which is running 6.5d (appliance).   Both the appliance and vcenter are sitting on the same subnet so I know its not a firewall issue.       Below is the output of the viewplanner.log after running two test connection attempts (1st using proper creds, 2nd using incorrect creds to verify i get a different message).  I dont recall seeing a vcenter compatibility list for view planner.  Any ideas?

Missing custom reports - 24h view of IO, CPU Util, ...

$

Hey there, ever since VMware switched to next-vmware.com I lost all my custom reports.

We have had custom reports for

- disk I/O

- disk bytes/sec

- network bytes/sec

- cpu util

 

Each report had the avg. numbers for any hour of the day (you could track backup-workloads or unseen / unknown anomalities) with the peak hour, peak load, min/max observed and avg. load.

I got the csv, dumped it into XLS...

custom reports.png

...and with a litte office magic created heatmaps to find any special workloads etc.

 

But the new capacity planner doesn't have these reports, nor could we export (due being offline) or old settings.

Furthermore I can't recreate the custom reports manually (don't get the counters needed to recreate the report).

 

In that state the capacity planner lost it's unique value for us. Can anyone help?

 

Already contacted VMware but no proper answer if / when we will get these reports back

I am complete new to work on Vcloud director.

I have downloaded VMware vcloud PHP sdk version 5.5 to access information from Vcloud Director.

 

I want to fetch the list of VMs but the response i am getting from the php code developed by me is different from what i see on Vcloud Director console.

On director console i see 31 VMs listed but from my code i am gettting 71 VMs. Why extra VM are coming ?

Also below is the piece of code fetching the List of VMs associated with organization( i think i have used while logging)

Code :

 

$service = VMware_VCloud_SDK_Service::getService();

$service->login($host, $auth, $httpConfig, $apiVersion);

$sdkQuery = VMware_VCloud_SDK_Query::getInstance($service);

$vmRecords = $this->getRecords($sdkQuery,"vm");

foreach ($vmRecords as $vm)

        {     

                array_push($vmList,$vm->get_name());

 

        }

 

    echo "-------------------------------\n";

    echo "VM List\n";

    echo "-------------------------------\n";

    print_r($vmList);

 

I have one more issue i also want to fetch the IP list or IP range associated with Organization or VM or Vapp maybe.

 

Thanks in advnaced.

Hi Guys,

 

Running View Planner 3.5 and when I follow instructions and run for Single-VM-remote-RDP it doesn't generate the PDF or stats stating there was something wrong running report.pyc and a csv disn't exist:

I have checked and the csv in question does exist, manually running the report.py script has the following error:

VMware HealthAnalyzer 5.1.0 ST-008 false result

Hello Guys.

 

For one of my clients I run VMware HealthAnalyzer every month.

Right now I'm using VHA-5.1.0-build-4806144 version. And I have a problem with ST-008 "best practice". On the Observations tab I have an information that "3 host(s) have datastore(s) with no redundant storage path configured between the host and the datastore." and on Findings there are all my Datastores.

I've checked how many paths does the datastores have and each of them has 4 active paths.

 

What is interesting that VHA-5.0.6-build-2982442 version of Healthanalyzer does not have such a problem.

 

Any idea what is wrong?

View Planner 3.6 agent installation and report generation

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I am trying to get benchmark results for VMware View 7 and I am facing the same issue people have been reporting since 2013. The PDF report does not generate results. When running the report script manually on the View Planner Appliance it will only generate reports when local mode is specified even though all tests are run in remote mode as is required for benchmarking. Yes the setup passes the compliance check and everything is setup as described in the View Planner documentation.

 

One thing which I am trying to look into is the fact that the view planner agent shows failed for the status for the pre-install check though it appears to install just fine. There is no install log as the documentation suggests there should be. There are no installation requirements listed in the manual of either so no where to check what the pre-install check is actually looking for.

 

So I have 2 questions.

 

What are the installation prerequsites for installing the view planner agent and client?

 

How can I get the reports to generate for remote mode?

 

Has anyone solved either of these issues?

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi all, im currently involved with deploying an SDDC VVD platform for my client and will assume the role of delivery lead for the SDDC platform once we are live.  Being relatively new to VMware and the VVD does anyone have any good materials/references for a good Service Management/support and governance model for SDDC, particularly how this may differ from the more traditional physical DC support model.

 

Any and all references/guides/blogs/forums etc much appreciated

Hi all,

 

I was wondering does anyone have any documents or links to learn about using VMware Service Manager from a student perspective - I am a trainee Consultant using vFire Core and have not used this tool before. So would be good to get some info on where to start.

 

My background is in Service Desk Management, I am not a techie and have been using vFire Core for around 4 months now - still struggling to get my head around some of the modules.

 

Any guidance appreciated.
