Hi Guys, I am looking for HCIBench. All links leading to flings.vmware.com redirect to developer.vmware.com, but HCIBench is not there. Does anyone know where I can find this tool? Greetings

I'm assuming you followed the install-configure guide (if it is HCI v2.0): https://download3.vmware.com/software/vmw-tools/hcibench/HCIBench_2.0_User_Guide.pdffile:///C:/Users/nathan.savolskis/Downl...

See the top of page 11 in the guide above. Hopefully it's that simple...

At first glance, it looks like (maybe) a runaway process. Is this machine part of a host cluster or is it stand-alone? Assuming no VM's are running, was this a new host added to a cluster and is DRS enabled? I'm asking for context to see how the infrastructure is connected, or how this server plays into your set-up. That would help track-down the best place to address the problem.

It could have everything to do with the hardware, the 980 Pro doesn't have power loss protection, which means that if power goes out you can end up in a weird state. I think the best way forward now is to recover from a backup! Assuming you have a backup?

But disabling HA and Admission Control doesn't prevent what is going to happen in this situation.
Your VMs are replicated between locations, and you have VMs in both preferred and the secondary. When the ISL goes down, the Preferred location will bind itself with the witness, the secondary will lose access to the witness. Which means that ALL virtual machines in the secondary instantly lose access to storage and will be marked inaccessible and killed by vSAN.
NORMALLY they would be restarted by HA in the preferred location, but in this case if you disable HA then nothing would happen.
I would highly recommend moving ALL the virtual machines to the preferred location before doing the maintenance.

I have a stretched cluster and need to change the connection between the locations. Theoretically i need to set all hosts of one location in maintenance mode. All vm's are distributed only with PFTT=1 , SFTT=0. Which impact would i expect if i disable HA or Admission Control instead of moving all vm's? I will get a vSAN alarm but the access to the objects is the same as maintenance mode with "ensure accessibility". The Advantage wold be that i can use the resources of all hosts.

You do not need vSAN to achieve this, there's a free replication solution called vSphere Replication which you can use to replicate your VMs in Site A to Site B. This is asynchronous replication. If you need sync replication then you could talk to the storage team to see what the SANs in both locations support (if they are a similar make and model that is of course)

Hey, as i said the high latency values under ESXTOP is a bug and a cosmetic thing on VMware vSphere. But we saw real latency issues on our environment inside Windows VM´s with PCIe Passthrough enabled. On local file copy latency jumped to 60sec and more and datastores will crash. We can replicate the issue without installation of starwind vsan.

hi everyone, i've installed HCIBENCH which was successful, but pre-validation seems to fail. Here are the offending lines in the prevalidation log. it can't seem to find a specific VM named "hci-tvm-VDI-vms" 2023-10-16 18:33:37 +0000: Validating cluster inter-connectivity... 2023-10-16 18:35:22 +0000: Not found: "/vcenter.domain/Datacenter/vms/HCIBENCH" 2023-10-16 18:35:22 +0000: no matches for "/vcenter.domain/Datacenter/vms/HCIBENCH/hci-tvm-VDI-vms" the only vm's that get generated have the following naming: hci-tvm-hostname.domain-1 not sure if i'm missing something here, but maybe the automated process for pre-validation is skipping creation of the necessary vm somehow? i'm stumped..

Hi, Recently I being handed task to include DR environment to our Production. And this DR only brought up once the Production failed. Giving example Host A (Southeast Asia) VM01 and VM02 Host B (Asia) VM03 and VM04 So if Host A and the other infra completely went down. It should be move to Host B. And technically vCenter will manage that. But how about the SAN that I have in Host A. I did read about the vMotion but it only happend if you can access the SAN in Host A. The other one is vSAN. I believe there is license to subscribe. Is there any specific way to can be done with vCenter ? Or should I engage storage to help me on this. What I'm trying to achieve is having the datastore on both SAN. If SAN on Host A is down. I can have the copies on Host B.
The problem has nothing to do with the hardware. In general, the power went out once and when we turned on the servers, this was the problem and it has not been solved until now.

@Peymansh, Why are you using a consumer-grade device (Samsung 980 Pro) that is not on the vSAN HCL (for any vSAN usage type) as cache-tier device here? This is beyond unsupported, you are potentially looking at data-loss here. You should replace all unsupported devices here with devices that will actually be expected to work for the intended purpose here and restore any lost data from backup.
