Something must be hardly related to Esxi.   i upgraded an Node from 6.0, 13003896   to latest 6.7 U3 Build  and suffered with extreme sloweness. svmotion, vmotion, edit settings,...... edit vmkernel,...   once bounced hostd/vpxa service   it takes ages to come back.   Loggings not give good infos,..... it does read similar to https://vinfrastructure.it/2019/09/performance-issue-with-vsphere-6-7u3-on-dell-servers/ Just difference is it's also with 6.7 U2.  HW is fully supported.    with that  6.0, 13003896  seems was not that Case

May anyone else has this as well? since i upgraded from 6.0 to 6.7 u3 (tested u2 as well),.... i have strange sloweness - hostclient ui login take long and info not really showing up. may minutes later. But can wait each time clicking around sevwral minutes. - edit setting on an vm,.... takes often up to 10m. Stuck at 13% and then jump further - svmotion starts 28% and remains long time. Often i need to remove vmkernel and readd,... then works 50/50%. servers are supermicro based and supported for 6.7. in the logs i dont see helpfully infos. vcenter is based on windows. Planning to change to 6.7,..... pain is just there is no migration wizard from 6.7 windows vcenter. best regards max

Hi, may anyone got same issue? Example: Alarm Name = Virtual machine CPU usage Let's say you want to get Alert for all 3 Conditions Alarm rule 1 =  above 75% warning Alarm rule 2 =  above 90% critical Reset Rule 1 = below 75% ok It seems once Load jump > 90%   then the Email alert just tells  "Warning"  but with > 90% i think the Condition check is wrong.     i think it should be Alarm rule 1 =  > 75%   < 90%  warning Alarm rule 2 = >90%  critical Reset Rule 1 = below 75% ok Anything special with Alerts? thx Max

Hi everyone, i tried this CIM Provider Latest SMIS Providers once i test to take Disk down > vCenter alerts but there is no Sensor.  Need to go to the Host Client view. there i see an Storage Section.  that looks usefully what i'am trying now is Remote checking Health through the  wbem sfcbd Service. but i don't find the correct CIM Classes those worked with 6.0.  Zero Info back with 6.7 VMware_SASSATAPort = Controller Ports VMware_StorageVolume = Raid Status VMware_StorageExtend = Disk Online Status Anyone may knows the right CIM Classes to get above checked remotely?

Hi, may anyone have/had same issue. i had 6.0 U3 latest vcenter and hosts. and i converted some vm's from Hyper-V to Vmware Side. i then upgraded vcenter to 6.7 U3. since then i'am not able to convert anymore. --> (converter.fault.CloneFault) { -->    faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null, -->    description = "converter.fault.SSLVerificationFault", -->    msg = "" --> } i tried - Re/installed Agent on Client Side - Re/installed Converter on Server i don't understand why that SSLVerificationFault happens.    i also tried to convert directly to esxi 6.0.   getting kinda user/password error.  but user and pass is right. only working way in moment is to convert through UNC path and then to import to vCenter.  any thoughts what that could be and how to solve it?   as Converter seems long time not maintained. thx Max

NFS4 = once adding the same Export to the same Esxi Hosts.  i get  differently UUIDs  and ending up in  Datastore  + Datastore(1) sure i tested as well just to add Datastore to first and then to make "right click Datastore -  Mount Datastore to Additional Host" i could do what i want > with nfs4 i end up having differently UUIDS. something special with NFS4?  not finding much Infos on Net about this Condition. Any Clue may? thx Max

Hello, not sure if this is may an Restriction from "Active Backup". if you say you could only backup online Vm's > that sounds strange.  i don't know a Vmware permission restricting this.  either snapshot is allowed or not.  Could you check that the Active Backup is able to resolve all Hosts and vCenter.   as if there is something not reachable > getting also inaccessible Alerts. Good to investigate some more detailed logs,.... as the gui not telling much. Also may good to check how much concurrent tasks you have configured.  not sure if Active Backup have kinda internally Session limits.   As NFC for vCenter/Esxi have some limits. Vmware not restrict vms per Datastore to backup.  me not aware of and doing backup of lot's vms. Also good to check if you're at latest Patch Level > just to exclude some Past Bugs. as it's using vddk > may worth to check as well which version of it it's using.  as older vddk's have some bugs as well Best regards Max

once you switch back to megaraid-sas then need to disable the nativ ones. just in Case i paste: esxcli system module set --enabled=true --module=megaraid_sas esxcli system module load --module=megaraid_sas -f esxcli system module set --enabled=false --module=lsi_mr3 after reboot you could check then with esxcfg-scsidevs -a if you have any Intel controller and not in use (sata/sas) > good you disable inside the bios.  Just to avoid kinda Interrupts. may helps. finger crossed best regards Max

i need to say that i don't have Cisco Hardware.  but just saw kinda similar pain issues with Ibm/supermicro once used nativ driver or older legacys. i have currently this legacy driver in use: Version 6.612.07.00 also i installed storcli. as its very helpfully i also disabled /etc/init.d/smartd  .    as it makes no sense for an Raid Device.  only make sense if it takes straight to disks. you're using lsi providers? Best regards Max

i'am not sure if it's also same Issue on 6.5 me at 6.0.   and had lots Issues  with lsi-mr3 Driver.  Either   sfcbd-watchdog   stucked and was not killable.   or got buffer errors once started a bigger punch of vms after a Host Crash.Or System just stucked after a while. i have also LSI controller. and for me the only stable Driver was megaraid-sas.  i had to disable  lsi-mr3 and to enable megaraid legacy. Since then all running fine. May worth to check it 0x2  = STATUS CODE:CHECK CONDITION 0x5 = SENSE CODE:ILLEGAL REQUEST 0x24 = ADDITIONAL SENSE CODE:INVALID FIELD IN CDB 0x1a = COMMAND CODE:MODE SENSE(6) if i understand this - the commands which getting tried > the controller doesn't understand them Best regards Max

Hi LucD, thx for the Answer. i'am confused about comparing  "apples with pears". there where lot's  topics about this in the Past (get-vm/get-vmhost etc,.. vs get-view).  and i remember i had to change all my Coded to get-view commandings > as they where absolutly fast. which it was. To be honest i didn't noticed with which version the normal cmdlets where optimized and get-view went slow,......... i just wondered recently during comparisons Example: Get-View Part 3: Peformance Impact - Is it really THAT much different? - VMware PowerCLI Blog - VMware Blogs i just recognized during multiple  get-view that something not right.  so i checked "UpdateViewData"  which still was slow.  after used the extensiondata,.... that went speedy through. but seems that was all Past Story.  i will look to change my code to get-vm thx Luc. have good weekend thx Max

Hi guys, Not sure if anyone have an Idea. i'am pretty stucked at that point. what i'am trying to archive is to use NFS based on 4.x  with Vmware based on Redhat,.. NF3 has lots of limitations, especially once doing HA Designs,... 6.2. NFS - Red Hat Customer Portal so i just tried first Steps to go with latest 6.7 Setup,......   and to use the 4.1 NFS mount. if i upload an ISO to that mounted NFS Datastore,..... upload works fine and all good. But once i want to migrate a Test VM from Local Datastore to that Test NFS 4.1 > getting strange condtions. Failes with Error and inside the NFS MountPoint i see the sVmotion create 3x more Folder: it's creating 4 Folders.g Based on readings  NFS Server will use  pnfs  as default once  4.1 Protocol is getting used. But as Vmware not fully integrated PNFS "just kinda multipath", this sounds like bit of incompatibility somehow. vSphere 6 NFS4.1 does not include parallel striping! – @hansdeleenheer PNFS sounds like would be amazing Feature if fully integrated May anyone fighting with this as well? for NFS Server i use Gluster 5.1   and nfs-ganesha  2.7 If i mount based on NFS3 > all works.  just with NFS4.1  strange Conditions Best regards Max

Hi guys, i wonder how this is getting done. often it doesn't make much sense to have for each vCore an own RSS Worker.   and doing same work. unnecessary high CPU Load. VMware Knowledge Base  this article describe  "RSS and Multiqueue". But not fully sure how to disable RSS and to maintain basic network queues. or to limit RSS,.... i tried to change with modprobe > but not seeing any changes to queues. anyone knows exact how to thandle this? thx Max
