Functions and caching
I'm a little confused about how caches work with functions...
Setup is spring-gemfire so forgive me if I mix terms in the example.
I have a replicated region on a server.
I'm running a client region.
I have a function registered on the server that deletes a record as part of a transaction (@Transactional, using the spring-gemfire Txmgr).
That all works fine. I can see the logs, the transaction is doing what it should.
What drove me nuts yesterday was when I tried to test this.
I wrote a unit test that looked a little like this - excuse the pseudocode and the template. If I use region instead I get the same behaviour.
Obj = template.get(key);<function>.delete(key);
Obj1 = template.get(key); <== expected to be null
template.put(key, obj);
Initially the client region was set up with shortcut="CACHING_PROXY" and Obj1 was never null.
I thought perhaps this was a timing thing (eventually consistent and all that) and tried adding waits after the function executed. Still the same.
Tx comitted well before the second get.
When I set it up to be "PROXY" instead I got the behaviour I expected.
I'm reaching a bit, but it appears based on this test that a client region isn't updated when the server region is.
Is this expected behaviour? Is the cache in CACHING_ truly ~just~ a cache with no data aware behaviour?

Re: vCenter Inventory Items Unsorted
Milko,
I'll see if I can test it out later today. What I've ran into is that when I'm doing maintenance on a vCenter that is part of the Orchestrator server's inventory, no one is able to access the Inventory or start work flows using the Orchestrator client. The real problem is that it appears that the behavior never changes, even after the vCenter server comes back online. So no matter what I've down or how long I've waited, it still hangs the client. The only thing I've found that has resolved it thus far is a restart of the Orchestrator services.
However, I haven't had much time to really test out various situations while reviewing the logs to be absolutely sure of timing and conditions as I've always been in the middle of some maintenance activities when I've had the end users contact me (which is also why I haven't opened an SR yet with VMware). I'll provide an updated post once I get some testing completed.

Re: Unable to convert a template residing in one esx host's local data store into a VM in another ESX host
Thanks Mario, got case1 clear.
So in Case 2, its like the files required for VM creation in host2 like vmtx, vmdk are created for the VM just by extracting the information from the template on host1, have i understood rightly. Or please explain how this happens in the backend.
Thanks,

View 5.0 Best practices
Hi,
I am looking at document or a description of the best practices to implement VMware View. For example :
- Can I place virtual desktops in the same cluster as my servers
- Do I need to use a different vCenter
- How can I make my View Manager redondant
I have seen some documents on how to tweak View 5.0 to optimize performance, but I haven't seen anything about how to build your vSphere infrastructure to optimize performance in virtual desktop environment.
I am running on ESXi 5.1
Thank you

Re: Multiple Nics over one vSwitch (no TF)
I'm not sure I understand your question fully and was wondering is the server you first mention with the 4 NIC's VM or Physical that's connected with one NIC to the WAN vSwitch?

Re: VMware Workstation 9 - Unity
To re-iterate what I wrote in another thread regarding the log spew issue on ESXi (http://communities.vmware.com/message/2186531#2186531):
One has to question when VMware will finally notice that it's a better idea to simply not package ESXi VMware Tools with workstation/player components (no, I do not want my VMs to share files with the host, which won't work anyways).
Same applies to unity features obviously. The ESXi Tools are already specifically packed (e.g. containing vShield driver) anyways.
For the record, I actually got these 5 Windows Eventlog error messages on every login (not constantly like in the other log spew case) after setting the following VMX parameters, which are recommendations from the vSphere Security Hardening Guide (http://www.vmware.com/go/securityguides):
isolation.tools.unity.disable=true
isolation.tools.unity.push.update.disable=true
isolation.tools.unity.taskbar.disable=true
isolation.tools.unity.windowContents.disable=true
isolation.tools.unityActive.disable=true
isolation.tools.unityInterlockOperation.disable=true
Causing Eventlog errors:
[ warning] [vmusr:vmusr] SOCKET could not create new socket, error 10106: The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized
[ warning] [vmusr:vmusr] vmware::tools::UnityPBRPCServer::Start: NetServer::StartListening failed Asyncsocket error:(1)
[ warning] [vmusr:vmtoolsd] Failed registration of app type 2 (Signals) from plugin unity.
[ warning] [vmusr:vmtoolsd] Error sending capability unity: Unknown command
[ warning] [vmusr:vmtoolsd] Error sending capability unity.taskbar: Unknown command
Deleting the unity.dll "fixed" the errors.

Re: Unable to convert a template residing in one esx host's local data store into a VM in another ESX host
Yes, it´s nearly like just a 1:1 copy of the template (just some small things like the MAC address gets changed).
You should know that a template and VM are nearly the same. The only difference is that the vmx file (VM) gets renamed to a vmtx file (template).

Mario

Stuck on workflow
I am stuck on a workflow I am trying to create. I am looking to unmount the tools installer that gets left on VM's after the tools is upgraded. (Mostly Linux VM's). I have attached my workflow. I am stuck on the custom decision. I guess I need to find out how to properly get the workflow to check the VM for tools being mounted or not and properly define mount?
Thanks for any help!

Re: Backup Server VM
Hi, Joe.
In your case it might be useful to leverage Veeam Backup & Replication Free Edition, or more specifically, its VeeamZip functionality, that was deliberately created for such purposes.
VeeamZIP is similar to full VM backup. The VeeamZIP job always produces a full backup file (.vbk) that acts as an independent restore point. You can store the backup file to a local folder on the Veeam Backup server or to a network share. In case you need to restore this VM, you can just import this backup into Veeam B&R console or use a standalone extract.exe utility that comes with every installation.
The Extract utility can be used to recover VMs from a backup file to the latest full restore point. The utility can be used as an independent tool both on Linux and Windows computers as it does not require any interaction with Veeam Backup & Replication.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Re: Export Folder Structure
Thanks everyone for the input, I tried them all and am going to try and use the Vcenter Migration Script aravinds3107 posted. None seem to be geared for vCenter 5.1 but I am having more luck with that script.

Hi tom
My switching capacity is 1GB, my intention is to provide cloud access to very small clients like schools & to provide online training. so in that case is my hardware sufficient or i've to buy server computers can you tell me plz?
i provide you some links below, can you explain me what it is saying about maintenence & is it really $1,650.00?
what does this means?
can you please find me any cheapest used storage solution for my project?

.vmware_ha folder on non-heartbeat datastores
I'm noticing the .vmware_ha folder structure being created on datastores that are not configured as preferred HA heartbeat datastores.
Since this is a test environment I end up adding and removing datastores often. It appears every time I add a datastore it gets this folder. This in turn results in the error "vSphere HA agent on host 'x' failed to quiesce file activity on datastore" message every time I try to dismount the datastore.
Is there a reason this folder is being created on non-perferred datastores? Is there a way to prevent this? What is the correct procedure for removing it so I can cleanly remove my datastore?
Thanks!
