Failed to create journal file provider : failer to write header to /var/log/vmware/journal

Hi All,

You might come across the error message

"Failed to create journal file provider : failer to write header to /var/log/vmware/journal"

in vCenter task when you try to migrate VM or try to put host in maintenance mode.

The issue is cause because ther is not space left in RAMDisk


RAMdisk :

 

A ramdisk is a pool of memory that can be used to house objects. Its members all reside under a given mount point in the name space and all objects under that mount point are part of the ramdisk. A ramdisk is directly associated to a memory resource pool.  The ramdisk only uses memory to house its members. It can grow up to max (and shrink back down) but only min is guaranteed.

 

The RAMdisk contains all the folders that are listed within the command vdf-h. Each of the folders resides on a partition on the RAMdisk.  The default reserved size ie min for the default built in RAM disk partitions are below,

 

sizes in MB:

 

/root - Min : 32 , Max : 32

/etc  - Min : 28 , Max : 28

/opt  - Min : 0 ,  Max : 32

/Var  - Min : 5 ,  Max : 48

/tmp  - Min : 28 , Max : 192 --> ESXi 4.x 

/tmp  - Min : 28 , Max : 200 --> ESXi 5.0U1 

/tmp  - Min : 28 , Max : 256 --> ESXi 6.0
 
 
The main reason why the RAMDisk is getting filled is inappropriate log file path given i.e. /scratch log which is located at  
Select Host - > Configuration-> Advanced Settings -> Syslog->syslog.global.logdir (here the path should be /scratch/log but due to typo or unknown reason the path got changed to /scratch log (space was given).
 
Resolution -
 
1. We need to correct the path to
Select Host - > Configuration-> Advanced Settings -> Syslog->syslog.global.logdir ->/scratch/log
2. Login direc console
Vi /etc/vmsyslog.conf
 
locate /scratch log and change to /scratch/log
 
save the changes and quit.
 
3. Cleanup
SSH to the host or in the direct console
 
cd /
rm -rf /scratch\ log
services.sh restart
 
 
Done with that we have changed the wrong /scratch log to correct one i.e. /scratch/log.
 
Now you will not see the error message.
 
let me know your comments and if issue is fixed.

Cannot Execute upgrade script on host- Error while upgrading esxi 5.1 to esxi 5.5

I was doing my ESXi upgrade from 5.1 to ESXi 5.5 from update manager. But I got struck with the error message as
"Cannot execute upgrade script on the host"



Steps I tried
Rebooted the host and again tried remediating the host from update manager, but didn't worked.

Solution

Finally it solved for me. I executed below given commands.Removed the FDM agent on the host and rebooted.
 
cp /opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh /tmp
chmod +x /tmp/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh
/tmp/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh


Reboot the host now and again try remediating the host from update manager. These time it worked.

Removing the FDM agent from the host manually fixes the issue.

The Remote Session was disconnected because there is no Terminal Server License.

Hi All,

You might have came across below given error , when you are connecting to Citrix Presentation Server while launching application.







The issue is with the existing Termincal Server license stored in the user’s machine Registry file.

Just go to the below location and Remove the Registry file and reboot the machine , launch the Citrix Presentation server url and launch the application. Will work. This will regenerate the Terminal Server license keys in the Registry and allow connections.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSLicensing

Now you try to connect/ Launch the Application in Citrix Presentation server , it will connect.

Installing HP Device Manager for Controlling HP ThinClient





Installation and Requirement
HP Device Manager Installation



HP Device Manager

HP Device Manager is a server-based application that provides sophisticated centralized administration capabilities for Thin Client devices running HP software. Features of HP Device Manager include:
 Centralized management of software configuration and upgrades.
 A central server-based database.
 The ability to easily create, store and update tasks.
 The ability to access any file or the system registry in thin client devices.
 XML-based task file.
 Design tool for administrator to create tasks.
 User-friendly graphical user interface.
 Easy and powerfull repository management.
 Support for WAN environment.
 Windows CE device management.
 Linux device management.
 Easy to change Enhanced Write Filter setting for XPe Agent.
 The ability to adjust the response time.
 Communicate with Data Encryption and Data Compression between HP Management Server and HP Management Gateway.
 Easy to set the work mode of Agent.

Overview
HP Device Manager is structured as a Console-Server-Gateway system.

HP Management
The HP Management Console is the user interface of HP Device Manager. Several HP Management Consoles can interact with an HP Management Server. The console allows system administrators to view details for each controlled device, organize device trees, create and maintain remote job definitions, and monitor tasks sent out to devices.

HP Management Server
The HP Management Server controls agents through the HP Management Gateway. Tasks stored asTask Templates on the server, can be sent to each agent through each agent’s respective gateway to perform commands as required.
HP Management Gateway
The HP Management Gateway servers as the link between devices and the HP Management Server. Device register with the gateway when they are started. The machine installed with the HP Management Gateway also normally contains the PXE Server installed by HP Device Manager.
Device Agent
The HP Management Agent is a software component installed on thin client devices so that HP Device Manager can interact with them. Agents are embedded into each HP operating system to enable Device Manager to manage devices out-of-the-box. Agents get tasks commands, execute the commands and report on their status.

Installing HP Device Manager
Components
HP Device Manager consists of four modules:
 Management Console
The graphical application used by administrators to access the management system.
 Management Server
The central server which consolidates and controls all management activities.
 Management Gateway
The gateway which serves as the link between Agents and the Management Server.
 Management Agent

Software installed on the client to enable device management

The Management Console, Management Server and Management Gateway may be installed on
Same machine, or on different machines separately.
