VM's resetting after deploying a configuration in Lab Manager 4.0.4

H iGuys,
Got a problem which i can't figure out.  I have imported some VM's into our Lab Manager 4.0.4 setup and put them into the VM templates area (5 VM's in total, 2x windows 2008, 2 x windows 2003, and a unix).  I then deploy them to ensure that they have imported ok, and they are fine, the static IP's are still in place as they should be, services start, and everything is fine.
So I then create a fenced configuration with the VM's in it, and deploy that configuration.  when the VM's come up the windows 2008/windows 7 VM's run a windows configuration setup, and reboot again.  When allthe VM's are up, they have all lost their static IP settings , and have been replaced by DHCP IP's.
I've now tried this with 2 VM sets and it does the same.  I don't understand why the VM's work perfectly in the VM Templates, but as soon as i put them into a configuration they change.
Has anyone else seen this  we have another setup in the the US on the same version of Lab Manager and the VM's work fine.
Mike

so here is the workflow difference you are seeing.
If you go from VM template to Workspace Configuration, it is "more normal" to perform guest customization.  You'll also get a new MAC address and UUID in the VM.  So be aware there are changes being made, and you'll have to re-configure network at minimum to use the assigned IP with fencing.
HOWEVER ... there is an easier method.
If you have several VMs in a pre-defined config that you want to use over and over ... That's what the Library is for.  Made a configuration, save to library.
When you clone from Library to Workspace, Guest Customization is NOT performed as the Configuration is pre-defined and configured.  The Fencing will automatically accomodate the existing IP structure and you don't have to modify the VMs at all.
This also saves you from having to build a configuration each time, and you can copy Some or All of a Library item to your workspace.

  • Configuration of Lab Management in TFS

    1.After configured Lab Management in TFS,can I set automation generic plan in MTM(contains Roles,Data Diagnostics etc) ?What is the role of Lab Management
    configuration in automation.

    Hi,
    If you want to use SCVMM lab environment, you need to configure lab management in TFS admin console.
    If you just want to use Standard lab environment, you don’t need to configure lab management in TFS admin console.
    After you create a lab environment, you could configure automatically test setting (e.g. Data Diagnostics)
    There are many roles for machine when create lab environment, you could base on test setting (data diagnostics) to specify roles.
    There is a link that can help you:

  • After Deploying an Image: Windows Boot Manager - Missing ACPI.sys

    Hi,
    I am currently working on deploying a Windows 7 Pro x64 image to a number of clients over our network using FOG. We used KVM in Ubuntu to build the base image. The image has a small virtual disk for the Windows installation and is deployed to clients with larger
    drives. Prior to capture the image, we ran sysprep /generalize /shutdown /oobe /unattend:unattend.xml, then boot the VM to the FOG client and let FOG save off the disk image. We then deploy the image to clients over FOG.
    FOG successfully copies the image over, then reboots the PC. The computer attempts to boot from the local hard drive, then fails at the Windows Boot Manager screen, saying:
    Windows boot manager
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause....
    File: \Windows\system32\drivers\ACPI.sys
    Status: 0xc0000098
    Info: Windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.
    I've updated the client's BIOS, tried a different hard drive, used ATA secure erase to wipe the drive before formatting, and still encounter this same issue with certain client computers. Are there any other steps I can take to resolve this issue?
    What files in Panther should I look at (or post) to troubleshoot? I don't see anything too obvious in diagerr, and sestuperr.log is just about empty.

    We're using two models of 120GB SSDs, and deploying to 5 different motherboards (4 Intel models + 1 MSI model). The issue is most common with the DH55TC Intel boards.
    We're using FOG due to budget limits--otherwise, WDT definitely would have been considered.

  • How to run a EnterpriseBean after Deployment?

    Hello,
    my problem is that i have to run a Bean (Entity oder Session) immidiately after deploying it. I get managed to call it Remotely, but not at startup. As i see it an instance of an Bean is created when calling it throiugh the remote interface. But How do I manage to get any function to be calles after deployment without any Remote call? Or MUST i call any remote functions to get a Bean created? (E.g. through a dummy "starter" program?)
    Thanks,
    MR

    You have to write some client code firstly to call create on the Home Interface this will return a reference to the ejb object in question and then secondly using this reference call a business method on the bean.

  • "dtutil", how to tell which configuration file for packages using after deployment?

    Hello All, 
    Trying to achieve this feature, 
    Using DOS command to automatic my deployment process--glad I found dtutil. However, it doesnt give you any chance to identify which configuration file to be used by SSIS packages after deployment.
    Deployment Method: file deployment
    Configuration sued: XML file and SQL Table. IN XML file, it tells which DB connection for packages to look up the configuration table.
    Who can share some thoughts on this?
    Derek

    It is NOT about sequence.
    It is about how to point which configuration file to be used by deployed packages as during the "dtutil.exe"
    deployment, you dont have chance to identify which physical location confg files to be used.
    Derek
    That you do only at the time of execution of packages. By default it uses configuration settings created at design time within the package. If you want to override it, you can use \Configfile switch of dtexec for that. You can also set explicit values for
    properties using /SET switch
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162810(v=sql.105).aspx

  • Adobe Reader resets preferences after deployment

    Greetings to the Forum.
    Please can anyone direct me to resolving this problems.
    My oirignal MSI of 9.5 was used to integrate the MSP updates into it resulting in a deployable 9.5.4 version.
    However the MSI created showed all my previous preference settings which was what was required, but after deployment, the I guess updates reset it.
    Is there a string command somewhere to stop these updates changing the previous settings.
    Kind regards,

    The Admin and Wizard guides tell you how to customize deployments: www.adobe.com/go/acrobatetk.
    Without knowing what your updates order is, seeing your cmd line, and having a list of what preferences have changed, it's not possible to troubleshoot your problem.
    Here is some info that may help:
    Read the docs above.
    Admins usually create an MST file with the Wizard that which contains customizations.
    The update order is 9.5 > 9.5.1 > 9.5.2 > 9.5.3 > 9.5.4.
    OOC security updates do not change settings.
    There is no master switch to disable preference updates and updating with an MSI in the workflow and no MSI means that your customizations may be lost.

  • RAID ADMIN CONFIGURATION RESETS AFTER LAUNCH

    Hi everyybody,
    The RaidAdmin configuration resets after starting the computer, I have always to reconfigure it every time I start the compute.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are talking about LUN masking settings, that I have seen before but not due to machine restart. but simply for certain release of RAID ADMIN, the feature has some bug such that the effects did not 'stick'.
    Other then that I have not seen RAID ADMIN settings not stick across reboot.
    You may go to Disk Utility to make sure that you have verify and repair any potential permissions issues on the primary application disk volume.

  • How to use custom pipeline dlls in Biztalk Projects so that they appear in the send/receive pipeline configuration after deployment?

    I have a existing Biztalk application that uses custom pipelines for receiving excel files. I have the dll of that custom pipeline. Now i created another BT application that needs to use that same custom pipeline. But after i deploy the application in
    Biztalk, i can't see the  pipeline available in Receive pipeline configuration combo box during configuration. I have referenced the custom pipeline dll in my project before deploying, but that doesn't help. I also copied the dll in the C:\Program Files
    (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010\Pipeline Components folder and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010 folder, but that doesn't make the pipelines appear during configuration too.
    Can anyone give any idea on how can i use these custom pipeline dlls in project so that they appear in configuration after deployment?

    If you plan on using the deployed pipeline across multiple applications in BizTalk, the BizTalk Application (using the BizTalk Server Administration Console) should have the other application [where the pipeline is deployed] as reference.
    For e.g.: Custom Pipeline (myCustomPipeline) part of a BizTalk Project (dll - myCustomProject.dll) deployed under Application [Some Application] also to be used in another BizTalk Application [Some Other Applicaiton] then using BizTalk Server Administartor
    right click the "Some Other Application" and select "Properties"
    on the "Properties" page, left hand side, select "References"
    on the right-hand side, use "Add" to add the "Some Project" as a reference.
    Doing so will ensure that ALL resources (maps, schemas, orchestrations, send ports, receive locations, rules, etc.) deployed for "Some Application" are available/referensible in "Some Other Application".

  • Error executing the Query after deploying and executing the application in WLS 6.1 SP3

    Hi,
    We are trying to run a application by deploying a war file on Web Logic Server
    6.1 SP3. After deploying and at the time of execution of the application, the
    server console displays this error message
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ttcgcshnd-1],

    While debugging thru the application we found that this error comes at the time
    of execution of the query thru the Statement.executeQuery method of java.sql.Statement
    class.
    This same application when deployed on Web Logic Server 8.1 runs perfectly, without

    Please, provide me the solution to this asap.

    The next version of Apache that we will support will be 2.0.42/2.0.43
    and
    the module for that will be included in the next Service Pack for6.1(SP4)
    and 7.0(SP2).
    The problem with Apache 2 is that when a new release comes out a newmodule

    I'm trying to set this up (initially just apache in front of a single
    WLS
    server but ultimately I want to put it in front of a cluster).
    I've installed Apache 2.0.40.
    I've copied the mod_wl_20.so file into the apache modules folder.
    I've edited the httpd.conf file and added the line:
    LoadModule weblogic_module modules/mod_wl_20.so
    When I run apache -t to check the configuration I get the following:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin>apache -t
    Syntax error on line 173 of C:/Program Files/Apache
    Group/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
    Cannot load C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/modules/mod_wl_20.sointo
    server: The specified procedure could not be found.
    So what's going on here?
    Looking at previous postings it sounds like there's an issue with
    versions
    of apache after 2.0.39 but I can't find a download for that version.Also,
    it sounded like the issues were for WLS 7, not 6.1. Can this work
    with
    2.0.40 or am I wasting my time?
    If I get the mod_wl_20.so from dev2dev I get the "incompatible plugin"
    message that has been mentioned in this group already.
    Any suggestions appreciated,

    I have downloaded EBS 12.1.3 multi-node from edelivery and successfully deployed it to Virtual Box running on linux server.
    After deployment :
    VIS node started successfully and now running.
    and for apps node I have to fix many issues that caused some services to fail to start. most of the issues were that some configuration and log files were owned by root and not applmgr which caused permission errors. this should be fixed.
    My current problem is I got the following error when I access http://apps.example.com:8000
