From our environment it is all the isilon and oplocks that causes this issue. I think you can actually set the locking time down from the default of 2 minutes which helps. There may also be different software code revisions of the actual oplock code on the isilon that you can play with (I'm not the storage guy). I've also had an issue with if you had your desktop or documents redirected and tried to run a batch or command prompt shortcut from that location elevated as administrator it would take like 30 seconds to launch as you are actually trying to open the file as 2 different users of the same user id which causes the oplocking mechanism to go haywire.

Re: svMotioning VMs based off of host
LucD, as always you are johnny on the spot.
So I want to try and figure out a few parts of this. First off I was going to create a new datastore cluster and then have SRDS choose which datastore within the new datastore cluster to select. I figured this would be the best way as the system would receptacle load after each svMotion is completed right? The $vmPerHost line is brilliant, does that end up being individually accessible based on each host?
So this looks like the loop will wait will all of the VMs within the first pass are svMotioned before picking up the next VM within the queue, if I am reading this correctly. That would be a single large VM would delay the svMotion of all of the other ones. So that was the trick I was trying to get at having x number of individual queues running in tandem with one VM each svMotioning.
As always many thanks for your help with this.

Re: vSAN Adding Glance Images ( http error Gone 410 )
This error indicates that there is a configuration issue with glance-api. The exact trace or reason can be found at the very top of glance-api logs when it loads the 'vi' store. Can you look for that ?
I don't recall exactly but the trace must contain the words "BadStoreConfiguration" or "Failed to load driver". Sometimes this happens if the datastore got relocated under different datacenter or folder and glance isn't aware of the change.
Switching to 'file' store will store all your images locally on the controllers and doesn't use the VMware configuration. default_store='vi' is the supported store for VIO. If we fix the BadStoreConfiguration then you should see the image gets uploaded to the vSAN datastore.

Re: vSAN Adding Glance Images ( http error Gone 410 )
Hello
Thank you for the advice. I am going to further investigate this however I have a few additional questions.
As we now are using vSAN does the stores still need to be = vi or something else ?
We did change the glance storage from datastoreh1 however now we have two when we added the vsandatastore.
Do we need to create an images folder on the vsandatastore and make that configuration change in the glance-api.conf so that the directory the images are being stored is /images on the vsandatastore ?
I thought it may have to do with the VIO management cluster not having access to the vSAN datastore as this storage is on the Compute Cluster and the Management Cluster does NOT have access to the vSAN storage. Does this matter ?
Ill run some tests later and advise on the glance-api logs.

Upgrade vCSA 5.5 to 6.5 Problems
I'm having some issues that I'm hoping the community can solve. I have a vCSA 5.5 in my environment that I want to upgrade to 6.5. I downloaded the 6.5e ISO and mounted it, ran the installer. The problem is I am stuck at step 3. I input the info for the source appliance (the current vCSA 5.5) with the appropriate info which seems to take. However the info I input for the second section, the ESXi Host or vCenter Server info seems to be the issue. I have used both the direct IP for the host as well as the IP for the vCSA 5.5. Using port 5480 as I can't get further on any other port.
When inputting the info using host IP, I get the error "Failed to get an SSL thumbprint of the source server certificate for [host IP]."
When inputting the info using vCSA IP, I get the certificate warning window, which I press Yes to, but then the error is "Invalid credentials for ESXi host or vCenter Server." I have switched the username to be any of these: root / administrator@vsphere.local / vmadmin (this is our vCenter admin account) / vmadmin@vsphere.local - all come up with the same error. I know that all of these work to log in to the host directly, and that the xxx@vsphere.local accounts work when logging into the vCSA through both the web ui and using the vSphere client.
So what am I doing incorrectly, and why won't it let me upgrade? Should I just cut my losses and make a new vCSA and then remove my hosts from the old one and add them to the new one? Is there something else I should try to do?

vcpu-0 Error Message when powering up VMware WorkStation 12.7 Version
I recently posted about an error message when attempting to power on a DOS program that is held on my flash drive. It worked for a couple of days and then I began to get this error message that is:
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
vcpu-0:VERIFY vmcore/vmm/main/cpuid.c:386 bugNr=1036521
A log file is available in "C:\Users\Swamp\Documents\Virtual Machines\DOS\vmware.log".
You can request support.
To collect data to submit to VMware support, choose "Collect Support Data" from the Help menu.
You can also run the "vm-support" script in the Workstation folder directly.
We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.
I have the Virtualization enabled on the BIOS, my instructor of the class I am taking has placed another copy of the DOS program on the flash drive and deleted the old one. I recently upgraded to 12.7 which did not help. I hope I am offering enough inform@ation to get some help out there. Thanks
I also failed to mention that I am using an HP Envy m7 with a 64bit OS and 16 GB of RAM with i7--7500U CPU @ 2.7GHz 2.9 GHz and Windows 10 Home and a Sacdisk Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive 128 GB

Event: Download operation completed with error : InternalError
I am new to Mirage and have been successful in assigning base layers to multiple machines, however our most recent base layer just seems to get stuck in some sort of loop. Machines will get to 93% Initializing Layer Update, hang there for a while then hit 100%. The machine will get to 40% on Assign base layer, error and start over. The exception listed in the error is "InternalError". I am not 100% sure where to start troubleshooting this. I can go back and use an older base but I would like to know what may have happened to cause this, what logs could help, etc.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brad

Re: svMotioning VMs based off of host
Correct, the VM are grouped by ESXi name.
In each of the groups there is a Group property that contains all the VM running on that ESXi node.
Correct, the script will wait till all svMotions are completed before continuing and starting the next batch.
Let me see how I can adapt this to always start a svMotion for each ESXi on which there is none running.

Re: Random logon delay when using UEM
Thanks @jmatz135!
I'm not a storage guy either :-), so I'll try to read up a bit on oplocks and related topics. I did read something about oplock timeouts which default to 35 seconds. Do any of you happen to see 35-second delays between subsequent lines in UEM log files?

On build 16226 of Win 10 x64, VMWare Workstation 12 won't install. It get hung up on installing the Visual C++ 2008 Redist package. There's tons of threads about VMWare install failing on this error and even more on the Visual C++ 2008 in general. None of the fixes have worked.

One could say this is a Microsoft problem, but VMWare Workstation is the only program that wants to install this 10 year old package and guess what, Microsoft isn't likely going to fix this...

Re: PowerCli - Change Harddisk type from IDE to SCSI
Thanks a lot LucD .. it worked perfectly for me except for the new scsi controller that i did not include in my script .. one question why did you include this line to add a new SCSI controller of TypeVirtualLsiLogic? The current controller type shows as LSI logic parallel .. is there any need to change it to another type or is there a need to re-create the controller? Thanks

Re: vSAN Adding Glance Images ( http error Gone 410 )
I am adding a shared NAS store to all hosts in the Compute Cluster to minimize vSAN issues first while I try and get rid of the error.
I also have another post about glance images not even working as when they are launched the boot screen displays "No Operating System Found" which means the image is not getting loaded or the VIO VM cannot reach or see the glance image. Hopefully vSAN storage and NAS shared storage will fix this as this was the main reason why I decided to move to vSAN.
Ill post the glance-api logs shortly as I am just waiting for the VIO services to restarts as that takes about 20 minutes.

Making a movie of a Windows VM on a Linux host
Hi,
I found a really old webpage of Workstation 5 that speaks of a "VM>Capture Movie" option with a "VM>Capture Screen" also. At least on Linux and Workstation 12 I see no such option. I have "VM>Capture Screen" only.
Is it impossible to capture a movie of a Windows 7 VM on a Linux VMWare Worstation 12 machine ?
Cheers,
Steve
