Error with linked clone View Pool

May 31, 2016, 7:45 am

i have an environment that has been upgraded from View 6.0.2 to 7.  As part of this upgrade a separate View Composer server has been created and linked to the vCenter and shows as Green in the dashboard.  When I have created a new linked clone pool it  has saved my settings, however I cannot enable provisioning for the pool, I just get an Error 'Provisioning was not enabled on all desktop pools due to an error' but I cannot see any details for the error.  If I click to show details I just get 'Failed to enable provisioning for pool <Pool Name>' which doesn't give much detail!  I have noticed that when I edit this pool an error box pops up with 'Server Error' as the heading and it just displays 'Unknown' in the details.  Editing a non linked clone does not give this error.  As a test I started to create a new linked clone pool and got as far as the Advanced Storage Settings when the error box popped up.  Looking at the logs on the Connection Server I can see the following error being logged:

UnexpectedFault: Cannot look up datacenter from Virtual Center.  If the Desktop's Virtual Center has provisioning disabled it must be re-enabled to retrieve this information

 

Does anybody have any pointers on how to solve this please?

Hi! I use Horizon View 6.2 successfully. But I have trouble with TOAD application. TOAD for Oracle starts and works successfully via View Client (3.5.2 and 4.0.1), but TOAD disappears when I click minimize button.

If I restart application, it start as new (i.e. connections and queries are lost). Other applications work fine with minimize button. I tried to use View Agent 6.2.0 and 7.0.0. I tried to run TOAD with Compatibility Mode.

Any idea?

--preventProtocolOverride

Hello

I am using 6.0.1 and therefore the POD configuration is done via lmvutil.cmd

When creating my desktop pools I setup the Global entitlements  with the  --preventProtocolOverride switch (Which prevents the user choosing which protocol RDP/PCoip)

And also set the default protocol by using the --defaultProtocol PCOIP switch.

 

My problem is I now have many people logged in to those pools and I need to reverse the config to allow people to choose RDP in some scenarios.

I understand there is a --updateGlobalEntitlement switch which I have used for other reasons but the switches are not there to reverse the config i have set.

 

I'd like to avoid deleting the global entitlements and having to do them again - -  do I have another option ?

 

By the way... Direct entitlements to the pool do allow choice in protocol. it is just the Global entitlement that needs changing.

Help me out

I have created a Golden Image for Windows 10 on my prod environment currently running Vcenter 5.1 U2 and ESXi host 5.1 U3. My View environment is running View 5.3. When I create a pool either be linked clone or full clone keeps getting stuck at customization and eventually fails with error timed out pairing. As any one ran into this issue or i'm just trying to do something that is not yet supported on the backend versions of VC and ESXi that I am running. If someone can verify this would be greatly appreciate it before I call VMware support. Thank you all in advance.

Horizon View Version 7

Windows Horizon client Version 7.0.0-3634043

Mac Horizon client version 4.0.1 3708485

Linked clones running Win 8.1

 

In both the Mac and Windows clients I cannot see shared drives from the local client. I select the drives to share from the client but cannot see them from a View linked clone desktop. I have also tested from a thick View desktop that I reinstalled the agent on to make sure client drive redirection was enabled but have the same problem. Once logged into the View desktop I cannot find the shared drives from the client.

 

Not sure what I am missing any help would be much appreciated.

Windows 10 Pool Disconnects and Guess OS Crash

Have a windows 10 linked-clone floating desktop pool that is experiencing frequent disconnects on dell wyse zero clients (p25 and p45). When the disconnect happens the guess OS crashes, resets, and registers the event in vsphere. VM is then placed in an already used state in View.


This is the only error in the PCOIP log I can find.

VDI client stops during recompose process

June 8, 2016, 5:01 am

Hello

 

 

We have quite a few VDI pools and therefore a lot of VMs (Windows 7 Enterprise x64) running on it (Horizon View 6.1 on vSphere 5.5 Update 2d). We recognised that some VMs not properly finishes the recompose process and it happens completely random (most of the time there were only 1 up to 5 VMs affected from these effect). There are no related errors shown in the log files and the event viewer on the VDI machines also does not contain any information. When I compare the log files and the task history, it seems that everything is working properly. The result is a shut down VM with status "Agent unreachable" and some warning entries in the View Administrator event log about users who tries to login on the VM but fails.

 

One error that I found was about an unexpected exception and the IP address cache on the VM itself:

2016-06-02T16:03:33.171+02:00 ERROR (0620-0894) <TopicMessageManager-agent> [AbstractJmsConnectionUser] Hit an unexpected exception, requesting clean reconnect

The VM get cloned from the master image and after this process some reconfiguration tasks take place. The only strange thing during the recompose is, that the VM tries to join the active directory but fails about 1-3 times before it successfully completes this task:

When I check the VM in the vCenter Server console the VM is shut down and has no IP address assigned to it but a vmxnet3 adapter is still configured. If I manually power on the VM, an IP address gets assigned to it and the reconfigure process finishes successfully. After a reboot the VM becomes available to the VDI pool and the error message in the View Administrator event database disappears. But why is there a problem for the VM to get an IP address? We checked the DHCP server but there is also no problem and we also have more than enough IP address for the VDI pool. I also tried the https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2007319 but the problem still exists and it happens randomly on quite a few VMs.

Had someone the same issue?

 

Kind regards,

Ybbom

Horizon 6.2 Desktop w/ Philips SpeechMike 3200

We have been trying to setup our VDI environment to be able to utilize the Philips SpeechMike 3200 for a week or 2 now, with not much (any) success.

 

We're on Horizon 6.2. We're using Windows PCs or Dell Wyse 5010s w/ PCoIP thin clients are our endpoints. Thus far, the experience is the same: the VM session just isn't seeing the SpeechMike. At least how we expect to.


On my local Windows PC, when I plug in the mic, Windows automatically installs it. No need for specific drivers, no prompts, nothing. Just works. Part of this verification, is I then install the Philips Control Center on my PC. Sure enough, inside of it, we see the mic, it is able to perform all steps on the various buttons the validate the functions, we're good to go. I then connect to my VM using the Windows Horizon client. In device manager on the VM, I DO NOT see the mic. Interestingly, the functions work. The trackball moves the mouse, the audio output and input both work, that testing seems ok utilizing just standard Windows functions. When I install the control center though, it lists no device connected. This behavior is identical when using our thin client. The windows session will allow for the basic functionality, but we can't test the button functions because the control center, again, doesn't see it.

 

We plan on attempting to have our clinical staff test the mic within their application anyway, just to see. Perhaps the Control Center not seeing it is moot, and it will still work within the specific app. I'd just feel a bit better if control center on the VM saw it.

 

Am I missing anything? It looks like as of Horizon 6, Philips dictation devices are full supported.

help with Horizon View design

Hello

 

 

Hoping for a little help from the community, in designing af Horizon View solution, as I am fairly new to VDI

 

let me list the requirements and thought on this deployment

 

- Horizon View 7.0

- A quite small VDI deployment with around 50 dekstops running Windows 10 - mostly as a non-persistent pool

- User profiles handled using View Persona

- users are to use Microsoft Skype for Business voice/video on desktops

- 2 host ESXi cluster for VDI. both with Nvidia GRID for use as vSGA (separate cluster exist for infrastructure/management)

- TrendMicro Deep Security as hypervisor-based AV

- PernixData FVP for read/write acceleration of VMs using memory in hosts

-  underlying storage is HP StoreVirtual connected via software iSCSI initiator in ESXi

 

I know this is fairly high-level info, but I would like to hear if anyone can tell if I should get any issues running this environment, as related to hardware/infrastructure? or have any recommandations to changes?

 

thanks...

RDP volatile environment variables not populated

I've looked around and haven't seen anyone else talking about this, so I thought I'd ask the group.

I'm seeing an issue where users who connect to our View 5.3 environment via RDP do not have their volatile environment variables populated, but PCoIP users do.

I'm not sure why there would be a disparity, but I was recently attempting to script an action and this came up, so I don't know how long it's been an issue.

 

Has anyone else seen this? Is it expected?

 

Thanks,

Running Scheduled Tasks on a Linked-Clone VM

Hello,

 

I'm trying to find a way to provide a linked-clone VM for analysts to use to run scheduled tasks after hours. Is there a way to save scheduled tasks in the users persona or redirected folders? where the tasks would remain after a log off and then a log in and the tasks would not need to be recreated. I'm trying to avoid building full clones for this, but might need to do that if I can't figure anything else out.

Logitech software only gave me the resolution options of  320x240 / 640x480 for photo and 360p for videos

i am trying to get an idea of how to have a redundant solution for my Horizon Connection Servers.

 

Is this solution supposed to go behind a load balancer like an F5?

 

Does it come w/ its own built in loadbalancing solution?  I remember Microsoft had a software based solution like this.

 

 

I am wondering mostly becauase our entire network is secured w/ a firewall on each vlan.  I just complted a 1 Connection Server solution, now i have to duplicate all the firewall requests.  UHHHHHHggghhh.....
