error durring javaserver workload result collection

simonpha — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:16:28 GMT

Hi I've run into this problem with the javaserver workload when completing the workload run. I receive the following error in STAX. It seems to me that the workload completes correctly but when trying to do the result collection it errors out.

I keep getting an error message "Error Caused by File"

kevinadavis — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 08:27:47 GMT

I am brand new to the virtual world and just recently installed blade servers and VMWare. I am running VSphere 4.0. I created my first VM Template and when I try and create a new VM from that template I get an error message "Error Caused by File" and the VM creation terminates. I created a 600 GB volume on my SAN to place the VMs I create so space should not be an issues since I only have my virtual center VM currently in that volume. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

STAF failing to start in webserver and fileserver systems

qc4vmware — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:01:41 GMT

I just moved a working tile to a different subnet and had to re-ip all of the systems. I don't know if this could possibly have anything to do with staf also not automatically running on boot for the webserver and fileserver systems. When I reboot each system I have to now manually execute the /etc/init.d/start-staf.sh script on both of those nodes. Oddly the database system and all windows system seem to still be working fine. Anyone have an idea on what might have went wrong? I am stumped and it seems like a pretty straight forward thing. Can you point me to a log that might shed some insight?

DNS and VMmark

tbjs — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:33:58 GMT

I am setting up VMmark for the first time, and I am having trouble understanding the dns setup. When configuring the mail server as a domain controller, the instructions tell you to enter the DNS name for the new domain, saying "this should be the FQDN in the format "mailserverN.yourcompany.com". So am I to assume this is my dns domain suffix? If so, why does only client0 follow this convention in the sample hosts file: client0.mailserver0.yourcompany.com, while all other are in the format "server.yourcompany.com" ? Maybe there is a difference in the concept of "domain" between active directory and dns?

FYI, I have completed the setup, but when I kick off the benchmark it fails trying to ping the server names (webserver0, mailserver0, etc) I am sure there is something wrong with my dns setup, so that is why I am trying to understand what I am looking at. Admittedly, I have not used Windows much, so AD and Exchange are a mystery to me.

Thanks,

Tom

What about a VMware Storage Benchmark for Several Storage Vendors ?

meistermn — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 11:06:32 GMT

I like the VMMARK Benchmark for Servers, now will there be VMware Benchmark for Storage Systems .

This would be great. The Spec results for physical Storage System Benchmarks are not helpful.

Where are the new vmmark results for sun servers?

meistermn — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 13:24:55 GMT

SUN VMmark results are missing for X4600 M2 with 32 Cores with AMD Shanghai CPU

Although no vmmark results for Sun Fire X4240 (2 Socket) and X4440 (4 Socket) with AMD Shanghai 2.7 GHZ

For Intel allthough no vmmark results : Missing SUN Fire X4250 and X4450.

workload hangs at "mailserverclient"

Notti — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:33:03 GMT

Hi all,

I am running a workload only with mailserver, standby, database and fileserver within two tiles.
During several Bechmarking tries I always experienced the following problem:

The Benchmark always "hangs" / runs forever at the job element "mailserverclient" for both Tiles.
The output file mailserverclient_0.stdout is empty on both clients.

mailserver_functions.xml says for mailserverclient:
<sequence>
<call function="'debugSTAXUtilLogAndMsg'">
'Info: Request: run mailserver %s' % (cmd)
</call>

<script>
pnMailserverclient = "Tile %u: mailserverclient" % tilenumber
</script>
<process name='pnMailserverclient'>
<location>'%s ' % gCLIENTStilenumber</location>
<command mode="'shell'">cmd</command>
<parms>'-f %s%svmmark.sim -r -x' % (ClientWorkdir, gFsep)</parms>
<workdir>ClientWorkdir</workdir>
<stdout>'C:\mailserverclient_%u.stdout' % tilenumber</stdout>
<stderr mode="'stdout'"/>
<returnstdout/>
</process>

<call-with-map function="'CheckProcess'">
<call-map-arg name="'processId'">"%s" % pnMailserverclient</call-map-arg>
</call-with-map>

<if expr="RC != 0">
<script> runErrors += 1</script>
</if>

</sequence>

What does this part of the script do here? Can I run this stuff manually?

EDIT: I was able to start the LoadSim -f %s vmmark.sim -r -x manually from both clients with domain admin rights.
Could it be a authorization problem with client/mailserver? LoadSim only runs under domain admin rights / Exchange 2003 Admin...
*Is there any idea how to grant these rights automatically or add new users on all relevant clients/VMs?**

BUT it still does not work with the above described soulution....Can you please give some adivse regarding further investigation or more information for a detailed research.
I do not see more options within the Testenvironment to identify the issue.

Thank you very much for the help and best regards from Germany!!

Windows R2 CLIENT "Sysprep" breaking NTFS permissions on VCLIENT directory

kimono — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 06:37:56 GMT

Has anybody faced strange NTFS problems after sysprepping (if you sysprep) the prime client and creating the new clients from that image? For some reason, I had to change the NTFS owner of the \vclientX directory and create some new ACLs on that folder ... I first noticed the problem after configuring LOADSIM on CLIENT1 and finding out I could not write the new vmmark.sim file to \VCLIENTX\MAILSERVER directory, and I could not change the NTFS permissions at all. (all ADD ACL buttons were greyed out.)

My process was - create and test fully the prime client on 1 tile, shutdown and ghost the prime client (not sysprepped at this point), image the prime client to a new physical host, power new CLIENT up, run sysprep, configure new hostname, networking, join domain etc.

Or doesn't anybody bother with sysprepping the CLIENTS. ( I am considering skipping this from now on, as the CLIENTS all will end up in their own domains, and SID duplication is not an issue)
