View Composer log full of same messages and vSphere full of "Recompute virtual disk digest"

[DSI_IMAIberica]

Hi,

  We have a VMware Horizon 6 View Server were we have implemented a new pool for VDI's installed with Windows 7. This pool has been configured the same way we have configured the pools for VDI's in Windows XP, the only difference is the master that we use is installed in W7.

  The VDI's seems work fine but we have two anomalies that's possible you could know:

1- In our vCenter we are 5 "Recompute virtual disk digest" messages every minute.

    Our vCenter hosts the Composer and have 2Cores and 12Gb RAM memory.

2- We have in the "vmware-viewcomposer.log" the messages below about every 5 seconds.

2016-04-25 12:43:22,528 | 62            | DEBUG | Sim.ServiceCore.SimServiceApiVal - Call GetVersion.

2016-04-25 12:43:22,528 | 62            | DEBUG | ServiceCore.LockManager.OperationLockManager - Reader lock has been released.

2016-04-25 12:43:23,206 | 62            | DEBUG | ServiceCore.Security.AuthorizedUsersManager - IsAccessAllowed() returned True for user 'Domain\Administrator'.

2016-04-25 12:43:23,214 | 62            | DEBUG | ServiceCore.LockManager.OperationLockManager - Reader lock has been acquired.

2016-04-25 12:43:23,214 | 62            | DEBUG | Sim.ServiceCore.SimServiceApiVal - Call GetAboutInfo.

  Does anybody knows the origin of this behavior?

  Thanks for your help.

1. Virtual disk digest tasks are related to View Storage Accelerator being enabled on a pool.

2. This is a check done by composer to ensure that the composer admin has local admin rights on the composer server. This is normal.

Thanks for your answersdmmcsherry:

1. For the plage of Disk Digest I fixed it finding some VDI half-recomposing with errors. Once I removed the corrupted Desktops everything started to work fine. I didn't need to apply the procedures described inREcompute virtual disk digest storm in vcenter‌ :smileycool:

2. Thanks, less things to check the next time
