Constant logging off Vmware Capacity Planner

Hello,
Have Vmware been able to get any further with the log off issue affecting Capacity Planner? I've tried using both ie10 in compatibility mode and Firefox 34.0.5
Its making trying to use the console incredibly difficult
Thanks
Simon

Hi all,
VMware apologizes for the issues you're facing, while we have been working to resolve these issues, we understand your frustration and difficulties with Capacity Planner. Unfortunately it is not a simple fix and the solution involves upgrading all of the dashboard infrastructure with many moving parts and dependencies. We are getting close to a resolution and will keep you posted on our progress.

  • Unable to Download Vmware Capacity Planner

    Hello All,
    Please help me in downloading VMware Capacity Planner so I can size/convert my current Physical environment to virtual environment. I want to check which H/W (like: How many CPU's Core RAM and Storage) i need to purchase for converting my Physical H/W in virtual environment.
    Your Urgent response is highly appreciable
    Thanks

    VMware Capacity Planner is only available to VMware Partners - How to Buy VMware Capacity Planner | United States - If you do work for a Partner you will need to register with VMware and take the Capacity Planner training or if your company is already registered you will need to find who is the administration and gain access to the Capacity Planner site

  • VMware Capacity Planner Dashboard - Constant Logouts

    Hello all,
    I've been having an issue with the cap planner dashboard / portal over at optimize.vmware.com, in that it constantly logs me out and goes back to the login screen. At times I am able to stay logged into for 2 or 3 minutes before it logs me out, which is hardly enough time to setup projects and configure reports.
    I've tried working from different networks using Chrome, Firefox and 3 versions of Internet Explorer, including 9, 10 and 11. I've disabled cookies, cleared cache. nothing seems to help and I just cannot get a long enough logged in session in order to do any meaningful work.
    Before I raise a support request with VMware, I thought it would be good to see if anyone else is having this issue?
    Thanks
    Rynardt

    I am experiencing the same behavior. Called VMware two weeks ago and after being transferred around technical support for two hours I was finally connected to an engineer who said they were aware of the issue and the portal team was working on it.

  • Capacity Planner - What metrics datas are sent across to VMware

    Hi, I'm looking for some detail information of the capacity planner data that is going out of customer environment. This is needed for a migration project that I'm current working on it, where we do lot of P2V consolidation. The environment is a secure environment and the security team is concerned about the data been sent across and the performance of production servers for financial institution.
    Even though there are options to hide all the information like server names or domain information, I would like to see some sample data analysis to look at it and to know what encryption is used to transmit data over to VMware. I looked at partner central and other sources on the web, but hard to find detail information.Can anyone share some information please? Many thanks in advance, Siva

    Thanks Arthur for the document.

  • Hyper-V Replica Capacity Planner stuck getting VM information

    I'm trying to use the Capacity Planner for Hyper-V replica tool to estimate requirements for a replica site.
    It keeps getting stuck "Getting the VM and VHD from primary site, this can take upto several minutes...". I've waited over an hour, and it still sits there.
    The primary site is a 3 node Hyper-V 2012R2 cluster. I have installed and configured the Hyper-V Replication Broker role on the cluster. For now, it's set to use HTTP without any certificates.
    I don't have a replica site yet, so I've selected "Skip tests involving Replica site". For the primary site, I've tried pointing it at both the replication broker, and at one of the individual nodes. It gets stuck in the same place.
    Other things I've tried:
    Disabled windows firewall on all 3 nodes
    Running the tool from one of the nodes, logged in as a domain admin account
    Moving all the VMs off of one node, and pointing the tool at that now empty node
    Let it run for longer - left it alone overnight.
    Downloaded the tool again in case it was corrupt
    Rebooted my computer
    In all cases, it gets stuck at the exact same spot.
    Any idea how to figure out why it is freezing? Have I missed configuring something important for the tool to run?

    Hi Grant,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The tool and documentation have been updated for Windows Server 2012 R2
    and can be download from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39057 
    Would you please update it and see if it helps.

  • How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

    Hello,
    i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
    30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
    virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
    new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
    Option Explicit
    Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
    strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
    Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
    WScript.Sleep (20000)
    objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
    Set objNetwork = Nothing
    Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
    used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
    Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
    have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
    printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
    bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
    environment?

    Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
    print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
    Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    Or done manually:
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

    There are no major changes (no overhaul) in the CP dashboard. The main objective of the CP3.6 release is to make it stable and reliable by upgrading 3rd party components and infrastructure. In addition we have made improvements in the collector and the dashboard. We will post more details shortly.

  • Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

    Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

    Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
    Load Windows under BootCamp.  Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
    But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups.  And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.
    But ... BootCamp first.

  • Error when opening Capacity Planner and Performance Manager

    Hello,
    I am having an error when opening Performance Manager or Capacity Planner under 9i OEM in our environment. I started at the company about 2 months ago, and have not used these tools until yesterday - and just found these errors. Below is a link to a screenshot of the errors. Does anybody have any ideas?
    http://www.webgenstudios.com/misc_images/ora1.jpg
    Thanks,
    -Bob

    Which are the contents of the log file produced during installation of OEM...????
    OEM was installed on its host machine about 4 years ago, long before I started with this company. I don't know if the logs are still there or not. Where should I be looking?
    Do all other parts of OEM operate successfully...????
    Yes, everything besides Cap Planner & Perf Mgr.
    Is this in Standalone Mode or Oracle Management Server Mode?
    The issue occurs in both modes.

  • Impact on physcial machines and network when running Capacity Planner.

    I need to find a white paper or an app note that explains how Capacity Planner collects data from physical machines.  I seem to have been pulled into the middle of a squabble between IT staff members that has the manager halting a virtualization project.  I have a virtual server running the Collector for Capacity Planner for 157 machines discovered in the customers network.  The Collector has been working fine, I am getting the inventory data I need to get on all systems except one.  At the request of the customer, I disabled the host name mask so we could see real host names in the report.  I also disabled the WMI checking since it only worked on half of my customers machines.  Using the Registry setting has gotten the inventory on all machines except one.  This one machine (an email server) has very strict administration control that is preventing the Collector service user from connecting.  When my contact and I tried to gain the needed access, our project was halted because the email server admin report an enormous amount of connection attempts from the Collection server that caused an issue with the mail server (was never able to get specifics on the issue).  This caused the manager to error on the side of caution and halt the project since the mail server admin believed the Collector caused his server issues.  My contact and I will be removing the mail server from the virtualization project, but to get the manager to allow the project to continue, I need to put something in her hands that explains how the Collector is getting it's data.  I have tried my self explaining it, but she is insisting on something from VMWare that explains how the collector is getting the data.  I know it is active collection, and as far as I know it just uses the built in WMI or Remote Registry services to request monitoring data that causes no impact to system performance.  I will be searching for an app note or a white paper or a KB article today, I would greatly appreciate if someone already knows of something that can settle this argument for me and help me get this project back on track.
    thank you

    Almost same setting here, same troubles.
    If I restart them via Screen Sharing via the Restart Button on the Login Window, they sometimes show up correctly. But this is way too annoying.

  • VMware View Planner multi-remote PCoIP test with linked clones

    So I was able to run the VMware view Planner local mode test no problem, however, I am having some troubles trying to do it with linked clones here.  I think part of my problem is that the instructions I am following in the user guide here are a bit unclear.  The part that is confusing to me is on page 56 of that document it says to use "View to Provision a Pool of Desktop Linked Clones.  Follow the View documentation to provision as many clones of the desktop template virtual machine as you wish to test. These should be created as an automated linked clone pool with floating assignment. You must also use identical values for the pool_id and poolname parameters. "
    This is fine, however, right underneath that it says to "Use vCenter to Provision Client Linked Clones" and then goes on to explain the steps needed.  So do I need to create a view clone pool and create Client Linked clones in vCenter?  That seems unnecessary.  However, in the instructions for actually running the test headed "Create a Multi-VM VDI Run Profile," step d says:
    In the Desktop / RDSH Name Prefix: field, enter the VM name prefix you provided in “Use View to Provision a Pool of Desktop Linked Clones” on page 56.
    and step j says:
    In the Client Name Prefix: field, enter the VM name prefix you provided in “Use vCenter to Provision Client Linked Clones” on page 56.
    I tried just creating a clone pool using view, I based it off the snapshot that is created once the view planner client installer completes, I named the pool_id and poolname the same, as well as the prefix of all the VMs.  However, when I try to run the test, it doesn't work.  Any clarification here would be greatly appreciated.  I'm using a brand new installation of vsphere 5.5 U2, view 6, and view planner 3.5. 

    We ask users to create desktop VM using View, while client or the launcher VMs can be created using vSphere provisioning. Why do you want to create the client VMs also as View pool? You can create them using vSphere provisioning provided on View Planner provisioning tab?

  • Log off from ABAP Program

    I Wonder whether it is possible to write an abap program
    which fulfills following requirement.
    just like the tcode which is used to log off /nex.
    but it closes all sap windows without warning on the same server.
    what i want,
    i want to write a progam and then create a tcode for that say zex.
    on entering that tcode the system close all sap window on the same server except one.
    eg:
    say i have opened 4 sessions of prd server. and i want to close 3 of them.
    then i execute custom tcode say zex. and out of 4 --3 sessions will be closed.
    no of sessions to be closed  = total no of open sessions - 1.
    dont know whether it is possible>
    ur suugesstions wanted.
    there are FM present.
    THUSRINFO
    call 'syst_logoff'.
    but none of them suits to my requirement.,

    Get list of modes  and delete specific modes are not easy, you will mostly require use of "forbidden" call system command like ThUsrInfo.
    What if you want to try ?
    Look at include TSKHINCL for opcode values, perform some where-used on those constants, if unlucky you find SAP report using the system calls, if you are lucky the call is executed in a useful function module (name starting with TH_)
    The result could look like following samples,  informative only, neither tested nor intended to be tested...
    DATA: tid TYPE utid,
          modes TYPE sy-index,
          mode_list type table of modus with HEADER LINE,
          modus type modus.
    * Current session id (Look at TH_USER_INFO)
    CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD opcode_usr_attr
      ID 'TID' FIELD tid. " Id of current session
    * Number of modes (Look at form modus_liste of RSM04000_ALV)
    CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD opcode_mode_count
      ID 'TID' FIELD tid
      ID 'MODES' FIELD modes. " number of modes
    CHECK modes GT 1.
    * List of modes with transaction (Look at TH_SELECT_MODE)
    *CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD opcode_get_mode_list
    *    ID 'TID' FIELD tid
    *    ID 'MODE_LIST' FIELD  mode_list. " mode list
    * Delete a Mode (Look at TH_DELETE_MODE)
    CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD opcode_delete_mode
         ID 'MODE' FIELD mode.
    Try in a sandbox...
    Regards,
    Raymond
    PS: /nex is not an actual transaction, trying to enter in debug mode (even system) in what is probably a C program gives little chance of success...

  • My account, log off, and "Welcome First Name, Last Name

    I plan on taking out the top bar and putting the search, my account, log off, and the end user's name in the header portlet. How do I get this info? I tried the tag helper route, but I don't see them as an option. For the search feature, I'm most interested in knowing how to get the array of values in the dropdown box. "Everywhere, etc"
    Thanks,
    Clint

    David - That's exactly what I am doing. We understand it's not a recommended customization, but a necessary one. Yes, it is a new DLL (CoxPlumtreeTopBarView) and yes, we listed it in the CustomActivitySpaces.xml - We followed the instructions in the "UI Customization Quickstart: View Replacement" article pretty much to the T. In copying and pasting the original code, we did keep the same mvc name (publicconstString STR_MVC_CLASS_NAME = "PTTopBar";)
    There are certain pieces of the article that didn't really gel with me - For example, we were told it's not necessary to create the new class library withinportal50.sln, that it would be easier and better to maintain custom classes outside of this project. Is it necessary to add a reference to my custom DLL within the portalpages project? If so, does that mean we would need to then rebuild the portal50 solution and re-deploy the updated DLLs to the portal server? See, we are developing locally and copying the DLLs to the webapp\portal\bin directory on the portal server. I do not have a full portal install on my local machine. (Note, when I did add the reference/build the project/re-deployed the dlls from my machine to the portal server, it caused .NET errors...)
    Below is my code - everything after this is exactly the same as in the original class. While you're at it, can you please let me know which of these namespaces I really need to be using?
    using System;using com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.login;using com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.myportal;using com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.portalsettings;using com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.settings;using com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.search.advanced;using com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.search.network;using com.plumtree.portalpages.common.mediator;using com.plumtree.portalpages.common.plugnav;using com.plumtree.portaluiinfrastructure.compoundlist;using com.plumtree.portaluiinfrastructure.search;using com.plumtree.server;using com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.activityspace;using com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.constants;using com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.editor;using com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.htmlconstructs;using com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.login;using com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.statichelpers;using com.plumtree.debug;using com.plumtree.openfoundation.util;using com.plumtree.openfoundation.web;using com.plumtree.xpshared.htmlconstructs;using com.plumtree.xpshared.htmlelements;using com.plumtree.portalpages.common.uiparts;

  • Mac wont shut down,log off,restart, dashboard and spotlight not working fro

    Hi I keep getting this problem..
    I cannot log off, restart, or shutdown randomly. I am using Leopard v10.5.7, with all other updates. Also I cannot get dashboard or spotlight to start off the keyboad shorcuts.
    I have to hold the power butt=on for more than 10secs to shut it down, which I do not like doing.
    I have repaired permission, stopping apps staring automatically on log in. removed all cables to reset SMC etc etc.
    It doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes it does. Reason I have to close my Mac down is my wife and kids use Boot Camp with Win XP on.
    This is now starting to annoy me, can someone please help, I've had my Mac 18months now, 1st one ever, so am still learning, especially when things go wrong or dont work, as I didn't expect this on a Mac!!
    cheers

    HI,
    Try booting from your install disk and checking the hard drive for errors.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 15% free disk space. Not enough disk space can cause directory corruption.
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    Carolyn
