Re: New UBER Model : UBER VNX (NFS) v1

Chris — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:51:35 -0000

Hello, thanks for all the work here. I just imported the VNX ova into ESXi 5.1. Boots up fine, I can go through the setup. When I navigate to it via url the applet loads, (EMC spinner) but Unisphere does not load. I don't even get to a login prompt. I have given the vm 4gb of ram. Any ideas?

Hi,

I have ESX4.1 and vCenter 5.1.

Trying to connect vAligner I get an error:

vAligner (xxx) does not appear to be managed by vCenter (https://myvcenter.local/sdk).

I deployed OVA from vCenter. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Good stuff. Most of basic concepts are present in one of the products I worked in the past called HP Server Automation. The discovery part is similar there too - done using PXE. The tag is equivalent to HP SA Dynamic Device Group. Model is HP SA OS Build Plan. SA is mature (10+ years) and proven for scale, distributed architecture including satellites hosting OS images for better throughput. But it's heavy and comes with a full server lifecycle support not just bootstrapping machines. What Puppet can do is done by software policies in SA.

We actually extended automated bare metal provisioning for VMs in a PXE-less environments including solving of automatic (static IP) assignment! This was based on many enterprise customers having reservations to run dhcp in their production data centers.

Things different are simplicity, broker hand-off, open-source to name a few.

With vendors coming up with individual provisioning solutions (vmware auto deploy etc) and template based approaches for VMs, it would be interesting to see how this flies.

Nonetheless, a cute masterpiece as usual!

I would probably like to use this if I could add more than one vCenter and multiple stand-alone hosts.

SOLVED: You MUST check the box for "Always trust content from this publisher". If you leave this box unchecked and simply click "Yes" to the "Do you want to continue?" java dialog box, it will leave you with just the blue background.

Verified all time settings and regenerated cert, still blue screen...Odd is that in viewing the cert details, the valid from time is set to 7 days prior to the actial generation date. There must be some other problem producing this. What relevant log files can be checked?

Thanks for the post! The modules can also be found on the Puppet Forge http://forge.puppetlabs.com... and installed via the built-in Puppet Module Tool. For example, `puppet module install vmware/vcsa`. Usage of this tool will allow for the automatic installation of modules vmware/vcsa relies on.

Hello,

I am using fusion 5, and fusion 4 (this last on my personal laptop). I would like to play with other values in the dhcp configuration file, such as boot options, or even assigning static addresses to mac addresses. Do you have any plans to add this kind of thing? OR, do you know where I can find the "boilerplate" file that vmware gets its default dhcp file from?
