Hallo Mensen,
Sinds vandaag zit ik met een potentieel groot probleem: we kunnen geen VM's meer aanzetten danwel een VMotion uitvoeren op alle server die gemanaged worden binnen Vmware VirtualCenter.
In de vmware.log staat de volgende regels die opvallen:
| Code: | Aug 12 09:36:10.579: vmx| hostCpuFeatures = 0x126000fe
Aug 12 09:36:10.579: vmx| hostNumPerfCounters = 4

Het lijkt dus op een licentieprobleem te duiden. Echter: licenties zijn(of lijken) in orde.
In de logs van VirtualCenter(vpxd) staat ook iets wat me opvalt:
| Code: | [2008-08-12 02:20:00.005 'Libs' 3236 info] VMLicense_GetInfo: feature not found: 'ESX_VDI_VM' v2005.05 [-5, 412]

For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide,

ESX_VDI_VM zegt mij ook niks...we gebruiken geen VDI.

Dit lijkt dus allemaal in orde te zijn, maar nu wordt het helemaal vreemd....
Een test ESX server heb in uit VirtualCenter verwijderd, gereboot en op Evaluation mode gezet(via de VI client direct), waar hij aangeeft 53 days remaining.
Ook nu kan ik nog steeds geen VM's aanzetten, en in de vmware.log van de VM's komen nog steeds de meldingen zoals hierboven.
Ik snap er helemaal niets meer van...hoe kan het dat ik op die "losse" ESX server("evaluation") geen VM's meer kan aanzetten.
Wie kan me helpen?
Alvast bedankt!

Problemen met de licenties per 12 augustus, bericht van VMWare :
| Quote: | An issue has been uncovered with ESX 3.5 Update 2 and ESXi 3.5 Update 2 that causes the product license to expire on August 12. VMware is alerting customers and partners of this issue. VMware regrets the inconvenience caused to customers. Updated product bits with correct licensing will be made available for download as soon as possible.
The work-around: turn off NTP (if you're using it), and then manually set the date of all ESX 3.5u2 hosts back to 10th of August. This can be done either through the VI Client (Host -> Configuration -> Time Configuration) or by typing date -s "08/10/2008" at the Service Console command line on the ESX hosts.
This seems to affect initial VM power-on (including from suspended state) and VMotion.

| Als je de tijd terug zet, denk dan wel dat na de boot van de machines meteen weer terug te zetten op de goede tijd. Er zijn legio problemen die mogelijk kunnen ontstaan. Denk aan Virtual Center bijvoorbeeld en de performance grafieken. |

Als je nu VMWare support belt krijg je een bandje dit het probleem metd en dat het binnen 36 uur wordt opgelost!
Dit is naar mijn idee een enorme blunder van VMWare, wereldwijd kun je geen VM's meer opstarten als je up to date bent.
Wederom teleurgesteld in hun "enterprise" class virtaualisatie product.  |

Waarom wachten beheerders ook alweer voordat ze een update installeren.......

Dit slaat een stevige deuk in de reputatie van VMWare.
volgens de verschillende bronnen zou op http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006716 meer te vinden moeten zijn over deze bug, maar ik zie alleen maar time-outs...
Mocht iemand hier wel iets leesbaars terugvinden, kan die dat dan hier posten? Ik wil graag op de hoogte blijven over de voortgang, vooral wanneer er een patch beschikbaar is.

T'is nie mogelijk. Wij zitten hier al de ganse morgen onze ESX-en ondersteboven te draaien. License server aan't controleren.
En dan blijkt een bug in de update 2.
Voor de vmotion heb ik nog niet getest. Maar de machines opstarten lukt idd. wel al terug.
Thanks voor de post,
Didier |

Tja..ik zat er nog aan te denken om niet te upgraden naar deze versie om deze redenen(al had 12 augustus natuurlijk ook 30 augustus kunnen zijn ). 
Helaas had ik teveel tijd over de afgelopen weken(rustig op de afdeling), dus alles geupgrade... |

Idd zo ver als ik het kan testen kan je de niet meer starten of met vmotion overzetten.

afokkema: alles waar je normaal een license voor nodig hebt lijkt bij ons niet meer te werken(power on, reset, vmotion).
Hoe het zit met HA en DRS weet ik niet, ik blijf daar voorlopig even vanaf zolang in ieder geval m'n VM's nog werken.
NTP uitzetten en datum terugzetten(wat de workarround is op dit moment) is wat mij betreft geen optie in verband met de tijdsynchronisatie met de hosts(die we overigens niet gebruiken voor zover ik het heb ingesteld, maar weet het niet zeker voor alle VM's). |

Thanks voor de link, ik hou 'm in de gaten.
Het probleem treft gelukkig geen draaiende VMs, maar nu DRS ook niet meer werkt kunnen draaiende VMs in gevaar komen als een host krap zit in zn resources.
Dit wordt nog een drama als voor het fixen van deze bug een herstart van ESX nodig is. Maintenance mode heeft geen zin omdat de VMs niet te vmotionen zijn, dus ik vrees dat dan alle VMs uitgeschakeld moeten worden...
