方便的 my.vmware.com 下載工具 - vmw-cli 測試小記

OS: openSUSE Leap 15 in Azure

之前看到一個工具 vmw-cli 可以用 command line 方式下載 VMware 產品 ISO

• Github: https://github.com/apnex/vmw-cli
• vmw-cli is a CLI client used to login and interact with my.vmware.com. It provides an interface for programmatic query and download of VMware product binaries.

今天有點時間, 來嘗試一下

# zypper  install  npm8

Building repository 'openSUSE-Leap-15.0-Non-Oss' cache ...................[done]

The following recommended package was automatically selected:

4 new packages to install.

Overall download size: 8.7 MiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation,

additional 34.7 MiB will be used.

Continue? [y/n/...? shows all options] (y): Y

使用 npm 安裝 vmw-cli

# npm  install  vmw-cli  --global

/usr/local/bin/vmw-cli -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/vmw-cli/lib/vmw-cli.js

+ vmw-cli@1.1.13

added 82 packages in 8.946s

還沒有定義帳號密碼前先觀察資訊, 使用 vmw-cli  list 可以列出產品

# vmw-cli  list

vmware-workstation-pro

vmware-workstation-player

vmware-workspace

vmware-workspace-one

vmware-vsphere

vmware-vsphere-with-operations-management

vmware-vsphere-storage-appliance

vmware-vsphere-integrated-containers

vmware-vsphere-hypervisor-esxi

vmware-vsphere-data-protection-advanced

vmware-vsan

...

但是要進行其他相關指令會被提示要有帳號以及密碼

# vmw-cli   index vmware-vsphere

Updating [fileIndex.json] for all permitted downloads in [vmware-vsphere] ...

[ERROR]: environment variables $VMWUSER and $VMWPASS not set! Please configure

接下來嘗試 export 帳密

#export  VMWUSER='<userid>'

#export  VMWPASS='<password>'

嘗試 inex 但是這個過程會很久, 然後會產生 fileIndex.json

# vmw-cli  index vmware-vsphere

觀察相關資訊

# ls  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/vmw-cli/lib

cookies.json  extract-files.js  get-file.js get-product.js   group.vmware-vsphere.json index.json.session  utils.js vmw-cli.js xtable.js

examples      fileIndex.json    get-index.js  get-solution.js  index.json          mainIndex.json vmw-api.js  xcell.js

接下來嘗試 vmw-cli  find 指令

這邊是找出檔案名稱內有 vcsa 字元的

# vmw-cli   find  fileName:vcsa

Loading available solutions in [fileIndex.json] ...

從 fileIndex.json 內找出 24 筆

從上面的的輸出可以看到有不同的產品(solution), 不同檔案類型(fileType) 的產品

所以再加上過濾條件

vmw-cli 也有容器化的版本, 因為大同小異, 所以就沒有再次測試

也算是多一個方便下載 my.vmware.com的工具吧

這樣就完成安裝了

• https://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:tsuroot/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/crazydiskinfo.ymp 是從點選單鍵安裝後, 擷取上面的 URL
• 
• GPG Key 記得 Trust

# crazy

If you are non-root user, please use sudo or become root.

傻眼..... Azure 上面的磁碟沒有 SMART readable device Orz….

真是 make me crazy XD

好吧, 只有拿自己的桌機繼續實驗了

OS:  openSUSE Leap 15

安裝相關套件

# OneClickInstallCLI  https://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:tsuroot/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/crazydiskinfo.ymp

If you continue, the following repositories will be subscribed:

Acronis Backup with iSCSI 小記

Acronis Backup with iSCSI 小記

Software: Acronis Backup 12.5 Build 10330 ( All in one / CentOS 7 )

iSCSI Server:  Dell EqualLogic PS6210

最近在測試 VMware 的 backup 方案, 因為預設的 VDP 最大備份的容量為 8TB, 所以就找了 Acronis 進行測試.

在測試 Acronis Backup 的時候, 第一個與 VDP 的差異就是 Acronis Backup 備份的位置

在沒有安裝 Agent 的狀況下

• 就是必須要先有網路的資料夾( NFS, Samba, SFTP ) 這樣的空間,而不是直接備份到 Storage

VDP 的使用情境是 vSphere 會去掛載 Storage, 例如 iSCSI 然後 VDP 會備份到指定的 datastore.

但是上面沒有看到 iSCSI 的選項, 又不想因為要建立 NFS 這樣的 Share folder 然後去產生一個 VM 來服務, 於是有了一個想法

• 讓 Acronis Backup 去掛載 iSCSI 磁區, 然後備份位置指向本機資料夾對應到 iSCSI

我使用的是 Acronis Backup all on one 版本 (OVF), 他是使用 CentOS 7 的作業統

# cat   /etc/*release

CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)

NAME="CentOS Linux"

VERSION="7 (Core)"

所以現在要做的就是掛載 iSCSI 空間, 我事先在 Dell EqualLogic 建立 15TB 的 Volume

• 因為是測試性質, 所以對於 iSCSI 只有使用 限制來源 IP 的方式, 沒有使用 CHAP 密碼驗證

參考網路上找到的資料

先安裝相關軟體

# yum  -y  install  iscsi-initiator-utils

觀察 iqn

# cat   /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi

InitiatorName=iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:eab1a730877c

因為我沒有使用 CHAP, 所以就沒有去修改 /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf

觀察 iSCSI Server

# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p  YOUR_IP

• -m, --mode
• -p, --portal
• -t, --type

1XX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3260,1 iqn.XXXX-05.com.equallogic:8-XXXXX-d7b161ba6-4feb21cf4055bfe2-acronis-backup

觀察 iSCSI Server

# iscsiadm  -m  node  -o  show

• -o, --op ( operator )

登入 iSCSI , 建立連線

# iscsiadm  -m  node  --login

觀察連線

# iscsiadm  -m  session  -o  show

tcp: [1] XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3260,1 XXXX-05.com.equallogic:8-XXXXX-d7b161ba6-4feb21cf4055bfe2-acronis-backup (non-flash)

觀察 partition

# cat  /proc/partitions

major minor  #blocks name

 11        0 2117824 sr0

  8     32 1048576 sdc

  8      0 41943040 sda

  8      1 1048576 sda1

  8      2 40893440 sda2

  8     16 1048576 sdb

253        0 36696064 dm-0

253        1 4194304 dm-1

  8     48 16106127360 sdd

#fdisk  -l

建立目錄

# mkdir   /backup

格式化 XFS

# mkfs.xfs  /dev/sdd

掛載目錄

#mount  /dev/sdd   /backup/

觀察 UUID

# blkid   /dev/sdd

/dev/sdd: UUID="7553f546-cbb3-4921-a114-da9c978adcae" TYPE="xfs"

修改 /etc/fstab, 讓開機的時候會進行 iSCSI 掛載

加入

UUID=7553f546-cbb3-4921-a114-da9c978adcae /backup xfs     defaults,_netdev        0 0

• 這邊要注意 UUID= 後面的雙引號, 前後兩個符號記得拿掉
• 記得加上 _netdev 選項

重新開機進行測試, 看看有沒有掛上 /backup

之後在 Acronis 備份的時候就可以指向 /backup 目錄了

VMware esx.problem.hyperthreading.unmitigated 小記

VMware esx.problem.hyperthreading.unmitigated 小記

最近因為修正 VMware 的安全漏洞 ESXi 6.0 / 6.5 / 6.7 Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability (VMSA-2018-0026) (Remote Check)

• https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2018-0026.html

上了最新的 Patch, 但是會出現 esx.problem.hyperthreading.unmitigated 警告

Google 一下資料, 參考 VMware KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/55806 以及其他人的作法, 就是在

Configure -- > Settings -- > Advanced System Settings 內

設定 VMkernel.Boot.hyperthreadingMitigation 為 true , 並重新開機

相關的影響, 目前觀察中

先記下來
