View 4.5 New VM's not being composed.

Summary:
VM's stopped composing and the following messages appears in View logs:


VC_DISABLED:VC:cn=04683182-25c0-40f7-b9a1-1963167d877a,ou=virtualcenter,ou=properties,dc=vdi,dc=vmware,dc=int;REASON:VM operation failed: com.vmware.vdi.svisupport.SVIException: View Composer Fault: VMware.Sim.Fault.VcDatastoreInaccessibleFault;


Desktop Composer Error:VMware.Sim.Fault.VcDatastoreInaccessibleFault; Error Type:com.vmware.SviService.VcDatastoreInaccessibleFault;Error FaultActor:null; Error code:{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Client; Error details:[Lorg.w3c.dom.Element;@b729f8


This seems to occur if an ESX host is added to the View Cluster that has not been mapped to the View shared disks.  Placing the host in maintenance or disconnecting doesn't seem to help.

Workarounds:

  • Remove the ESX host until all shared disks have been mapped.
  • Move ESX host to temporary folder/cluster/node until host is configured properly.

NSX-T: vCenter and NSX-T Inventory out of Sync (Hosts in vSphere not showing up in NSX-T)

Image
Summary: NSX-T loses synch w/ vCenter inventory, but statuses don't appear to show an issue.  Basically, you add a host to a vCenter cluster, NSX-T bits should start to automatically installing on new host.  Assuming you've created a Transport Node Profile and associated w/ the cluster.  The problem is that NSX-T doesn't see the new host and its link to the compute manager (vCenter) looks fine. Looks fine, Y U NO WORK!? So what's going on here?  This appears to affect NSX-T 2.5 and 2.5.1.  Cause is unknown. Workaround: Restart the cm-inventory service on each NSX-T mgmt/controller node using API or CLI. Details: If you were to query the status of the cm-inventory via API or CLI, you could query all 3 manager/controller nodes and get a status of running.  Even if the primary node associated w/ the VIP, if configured, is not necessarily in charge of inventory.  So you could restart the cm-inventory service till you are blue in the face and get nowhere be

MacOS: AnyConnect VPN client was unable to successfully verify the IP forwarding table modifications.

The VPN client was unable to successfully verify the IP forwarding table modification.  A VPN connection will not be established. Summary: I started running into issue utilizing Cisco AnyConnect on my Mac basically complaining about not able to overwrite IP forwarding tables.  This was on 4.6.x.  Since my VPN endpoints were not providing me w/ an updated client and w/ no access to Cisco Anyconnect downloads, my only option was to try openconnect.  It was totally worth it, here is why and how to set it up. PreReqs: Homebrew Installing OpenConnect: Launch MacOS Terminal brew install openconnect Getting VPN IP's/DNS Endpoints from AnyConnect: The information is typically located in your profile xml files located here: /opt/cisco/anyconnect/profile/somethingsomething.xml In the xml file, you are looking for "<HostAddress>typicallyaDNSName.com</HostAddress>" entry.  These are your VPN endpoints that you would need to pass to openconnect.

Azure VMware Solution: NSX-T Active/Active T0 Edges...but

Image
Summary: Azure VMware Solution (AVS) delivers by default w/ a pair of redundant Large NSX-T Edge VM's each running a T0 in active/active mode.  So why is my traffic only going out one Edge VM? Short answer: The default T1 that is delivered w/ AVS is an active/passive T1 where you connect your workloads to.  So while it could technically take either T0, it's always going to go out the closest T0 to the active "SR" T1.  Where do the SR's live?  You guessed it, on the Edge VM's.  As you can imagine, this can lead to a bottleneck if you try to shove all your traffic through a single Edge VM. Simple Diagram: Longer answer with Options:
