Does anyone have experience with VMware's SSO? I'm trying to give the web services a shot, however I'm noticing that I can't authenticate with my domain credentials. I checked the SSO Configuration tab from the web client and saw the following:  What would cause the configuration information to not even be present in the web client side? I'm pretty much straight from installing vCenter Server on a new Windows server after using the VMware vCenter Simple Install procedure. I'm having a hell of a time finding any documentation on how to troubleshoot SSO, short of reinstalling it...

Login as admin@system-domain and then make sure AD is added as an authentication source. Once that's done set the default domain to whatever your AD domain is then you can start assigning roles to AD groups.

Does anyone know if View 4.6 can support 3D stuff like Google Earth? Or was that only introduced in View 5? I don't see an option for "Windows 7 3D rendering" in 4.6 and my google skills must be hazy this morning.

Do any of you use vShield with View, or do you have AV on each VM?

Right when I started this new job I setup TrendMicro's agentless AV within our View 5.0 environment. It uses vShield to do some fancy low level stuff. Seems to be working well.

GreenNight posted:Do any of you use vShield with View, or do you have AV on each VM? We use vshield, not with view, and Trend Deepsecurity. It's terrible and I hate it, if I could go back I'd use a traditional agent. If your environment is doing large amounts of network traffic their filter driver eventually leaks to death and crashes every VM being protected. I know of at least one other goon who had the same issue. Additionally it's a pain to administer and alerts for no reason.

Have not had any problems with leaks and crashing VMs. I thought the alerts were just because everything that is in my environment was deployed horribly wrong. I do get those "Smart Protection Disconnected" warnings all the time though. Is that what you are seeing?

Some have a 'lite' agent installed on clients but it is easier to go agentless with Trend/Symantec. Which I have heard a lot of good things about Symantecs.

Moey posted:Have not had any problems with leaks and crashing VMs. It took our actual production volume to cause it, it wasn't something we saw during stress testing, but after a month in prod one by one all the servers would fall over. A view environment may not suffer the same problem. Trend could theoretically fix it easily, if you don't license the network features then don't run them through the filter. Smart Protection errors. Every day when the central server got it's update it would alert that all servers were out of date then over the 10 minutes it would spam 'Resolved' as each server updated, had to disable all out of date alerts for this. VM's will stop being protected when vmotioned randomly with Interface out sync alerts, this is a major pita. Rule Not Applied alerts, immediately followed by Resolved. In terms of memory usage, I have to allocate a 4 Gig appliance on every machine (comes default at 1/2G, they had us increase it), that's a lot of AV agent instances. Also Trend needs a thin agent activated on the VM itself anyway. So I kind of see that as a wash. Edit: Again, these are all just against Trend itself, vshield is fine and vmware support was excellent. Just look at one of the other competing products.

I figure someone here has run into this, so let me ask in this thread first: I'm creating a Ubuntu virtual machine in VMWare for use in my group at work (for doing embedded linux development). In order to save time and energy (and prevent people from making the mistakes I initially made), I'm going to be giving everyone a copy of the same image. However, in order to run our IDE, we need individual licenses. We can generate new licenses, but that requires going through a web interface, and only a few of us can generate the licenses. They are tied to MAC addresses though, and since we already paid for a fixed number of licenses (we can generate as many as we want, though), I can clone the MAC address of the virtual network adapter in order to have each VM work out of the box for everyone. However, will this cause any problems on the network? I configured the network adapter to use NAT, so I'd imagine it wouldn't matter (since every duplicate MAC will be hidden behind each VM's NAT), but I don't actually know for sure. Also, is there any advantage to cloning the MAC address directly (by changing the randomized MAC that VMWare generates) over using the "Cloned MAC address" field in the Ubuntu network options?

I could be very wrong, but I don't think this would work. All your layer 2 communication is done via mac addresses. If you just one device doing NAT in front of all the cloned devices it wouldn't know which machine to send to. If you had an individual devices NAT'ing in front of each machine (ie a 1-to-1 relationship between each NAT device and cloned mac) it might work, but I don't know if that's something vmware does.

Good thing NAT is layer 3. I assume he is doing workstation and not ESX where he is putting them on a server then using a virtual router or the like to connect. So it would be the only device on that virtual network. It would probably work, but I have no idea how your IDE company would like it

If it doesn't, I can just get everyone to send me there MACs so I can generate the licenses, but meh. Thanks! Crackbone posted:Duh, yeah if it's workstation then it's likely fine.

Are any of you running ESXi 5.1 on proliant servers? I am trying to install the Management Bundle and it is coming up with valid products of embeddedEsx 5.0.0 and 5.1.0. I am not running Embedded but I am hoping that there is some way to use update manager to deploy these tools anyway. I can't for the life of me find anything about this problem anywhere. Essentially when I go to remediate there is nothing to remediate because I am not using embedded esxi. I don't have an external network connection on these so I have to use offline patches.

Is it a super pain in the rear end to reconfigure your hosts? I only have three but I think that I would kill myself if I had to redo 10+. Unless you can reinstall overtop of an existing esxi installation without losing your settings? Could you do it through update manager I wonder?

I guess that answers a question I had. Going to be installing ESXi on a DL360G8p, and wasn't sure if I would be better off using vanilla ESXi or the HP branded ISO. Seems the HP one is the way to go.

We had to keep upping the heapsize for the filter driver up to the ESXi maximum of 256MB before we stopped having problems with our VMs going south when the DS filter driver shat itself. I can't recommend this product. Trend's support is spotty. The product itself is buggy and needs a few more revisions before it'll be ready for prime time. Also how the gently caress do I get these goddamned interface out of sync errors to loving stop?

Seems the HP one is the way to go. Yeah unless you want to manually add packages and drivers for ESXi, again 99% of the time vanilla will work. However, IMO there isn't much reason to go vanilla if you are working with a major vendor for updates you are pretty safe. The only problem can be if your vendor is slow on ESXi images, your updates might be waiting on them.

Anyone here have some direction of Vmware view and vCloud director? Basically so I can offer this class on line for my CC I want to be able to automated the lab environment(done), as well as provision some view desktops in which students can work in. It's pretty complicated and I am not sure it can be done but I would think I could ask. So far so got my 5.1+ lab environments for the VAAP working fine, I think my lab could be better but I think that is my dunning krugger kicking in

There are quite a few hits on google with discussion about the idea though. I can't speak much about View but I've deployed vCloud Director(1.5) before. Do you have any specific questions? vCloud Director is somewhat of a complicated product so general discussion can be difficult.

 Alright here is it. This is kinda at a high level(ignore the single connection server and security server). So far I think I got the provisioning of the labs down well. Basically what I want to be able to do is tell vCloud I want to provision ~26 pools and assign vm's in Pool_$1 to vAPP_$1. So when a lab team requests VCAP-DCA lab the lab is provisioned, with two view desktops and attach them to the vAPP. This way we can use PCoIP, reduce the storage foot print via linked clones, and have the foundation for offering it online. Followed by vCloud cleaning up the environment after 16/8 weeks, or X days. I am not terribly versed at vCloud so yeah... In actuality all I need vCloud to do is send a call to provision the virtual desktops and link them to the vAPP. Right now the vAPP is deployed we get the IP off the router and say okay Team A you are 172.XX.XXX.XX Person 1 is remoting in via port 4410 and person 2 is remoting in via Port 4409. This works fine for local but if we want to move it online I know this may not work well. I am sure I will need to give the View jump boxes 2 IP's so the can contact the security server, and I will probably vlann it out. Again I am not sure if this is even possible.

For a quick and dirty small-scale lab (like 4-5 machines tops), is there any reason Hyper-V on windows 8 Pro wouldn't work? All I really need is VMs and the ability to network those machines, and it looks like Win8Pro HV does that.

No, there's a few limitations on Hyper-V in Windows8 but none of them will probably matter to you. You don't get Live Migration, RemoteFX, SR-IOV, virtual fibre channel, and some other irrelevant poo poo for a desktop lab.
