Like the title says, kinda new to these remotes from searching for a solution to my multi remote issues

I have an LG BX Tv, Marantz Avr, and Nvidia Shield, I would love to consolidate into 1 remote

With the software seemingly being pulled by Logitech, are these still worth picking up second hand?

Is anyone able to help here because I cannot for the life of me figure this out

I have moved my NAS from an AMD Epyc system to a Intel core system as a bit of a downsize, Z490 MSI Carbon board + I5 10400 48GB RAM

Now, I can get the system to boot fine with the Adaptec cards in, it takes a while, I assume as the controller firmware loads, they are in HBA mode, and there is no visiable display out, the monitor sees a signal but its blank, but it boots, ESX 9.1 sees them no issues there

However, I need to enable them for PCIe passthrough for TrueNas, this required Intel VD-T enabling in the BIOS, I thought this would be pretty simple, the board and CPU support it, however, the system hangs and the cards red lights go out, and eventually the screen shots

PollMem:Timeout
SendFib: Command Timeout
GetConfigStatus: SendBIOSFIB Failed

Removed the adaptec card, no issues, disable VD-T, no issues

Clearly its the card and VD-T
Ideally I would like to avoid buying more cards, but if I do I kinda need to be sure this will work, I am using 2 of them

Has anyone seen this, or does anyone know anything I can try - Plex needs the NAS so Im a little stranded

I can live with buying replacement cards as a last resort, but they need to work and really be MiniSAS HD, same ports on the cards

Thanks in advance <3

Hi, wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if its user error

For context I mainly use the M21 with the cassette case, with LDAC Bluetooth on Plexamp, when I increase, or decrease the volume, mainly on decrease, the volumes skips

Eg I turn it down pressing the volume down button, it goes down and usually jumps back up, or if I increase the volume by 1 it goes up by 2

It never used to do this, only recently but nothing I know of has changed

Has anyone else had this issue? Seems like a bug and an update is needed

Thanks in advance

Has anyone tried onboard a single node Avi controller instance to NSX 9.1?

I have done this half a dozen times in NSX 9.0 using the API so I can integrate this with the Supervisor, but now it doesnt seem to work, and I have no idea why

The process I am doing is deploy a new Avi Controller, license it, setup the cluster IP/FQDN on the single node controller and then generate a new self signed certificate with the node/cluster IP/FQDN in the SAN field

Then onboard to NSX with

curl -k --location --request PUT 'https://<nsx-vip-fqdn>/policy/api/v1/infra/alb-onboarding-workflow' \
--header 'X-Allow-Overwrite: True' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--user 'admin:<nsx-admin-password>' \
--data-raw '{
  "owned_by": "LCM",
  "cluster_ip": "<avi-cluster-vip>",
  "infra_admin_username": "admin",
  "infra_admin_password": "<avi-admin-password>",
  "dns_servers": [
    "<dns-server1>",
    "<dns-server2>"
  ],
  "ntp_servers": ["<ntp-server>"]
}'

But since re trying with 9.1 I just get back

{
  "httpStatus" : "BAD_REQUEST",
  "error_code" : 500016,
  "module_name" : "Policy",
  "error_message" : "Error creating User/Role in Avi Load Balancer Controller. Please try again."
}

I cant figure out for the life of me what the issue is

I have tried adding the new Avi cert to the NSX Java side and the NSX TrustManager, but thats made no difference, I didnt need to do this before

Has the workflow changed now Avi can be deployed via VCF Operations?

I would deploy it, but, in Typical Broadcom fashion, VMUG keys dont work with the new annoying cloud licensing side for vDefend/Avi, so I cant license it, and my workflow is broken and Avi wont deploy due to my SDDC manager having duplicate DNS IP addresses that I cant fix

Anyone got any ideas or seen this?

Thanks in advance ❤️

Slightly weird one, I was trying to deploy the Avi LB and kept getting stuck due to duplicate DNS entries not being allowed, which was an odd error I shouldnt be getting

After some digging, the SDDC Manager seems to have the primary IP duplicated when looking in VCF Operations under Operation/Administration/SDDC Manager/Network Settings/DNS Servers

Simple solution right, edit the DNS servers and correct the secondary to the correct value provided during the deployment

Well the tasks seems to go through correctly, ESX hosts, as an example, get updated, however the SDDC Manager remains unchanged

If you check /etc/resolve.conf on the SDDC Manager, thats correct

Querying via the API, which is deprecated tbh, shows the duplicate IP, setting it via the API has the same issue as the GUI

Looking though the DB, cant find any mention of the DB to override it

The only warning when setting DNS via the GUI/API is
VALIDATION_FAILED_NOT_POSSIBLE_TO_SET_DNS for the vCenter
The application to the SDDC Manager is successful so not sure if this is an issue

Anyone seen this? I would raise to Broadcom but with this being a lab, I cant get support

Thanks in advance ❤️

Edit - Managed to fix this

The warning on the vCenter was important, checking the DNS in VAMI shows three servers, 192.168.1.5,192.168.1.5,192.168.1.27, a duplication

Changing in the UI, didnt work
Changing in the CLI with
/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_dns -d <domain> -s <search-domain> <dns-server1> <dns-server2>
Have be both duplicated

That is caused by /etc/resolve.conf now having both in, eg
# This is /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf managed by man:systemd-resolved(8).

# Do not edit.

#

# This file might be symlinked as /etc/resolv.conf. If you're looking at

# /etc/resolv.conf and seeing this text, you have followed the symlink.

#

# This is a dynamic resolv.conf file for connecting local clients directly to

# all known uplink DNS servers. This file lists all configured search domains.

#

# Third party programs should typically not access this file directly, but only

# through the symlink at /etc/resolv.conf. To manage man:resolv.conf(5) in a

# different way, replace this symlink by a static file or a different symlink.

#

# See man:systemd-resolved.service(8) for details about the supported modes of

# operation for /etc/resolv.conf.

nameserver 192.168.1.5

nameserver 192.168.1.27

nameserver 192.168.1.5

# Too many DNS servers configured, the following entries may be ignored.

nameserver 192.168.1.27

search leaha.co.uk

You can use Vi to edit the file and remove, in my case, these lines
nameserver 192.168.1.5

# Too many DNS servers configured, the following entries may be ignored.

nameserver 192.168.1.27

That leaves just two, different, DNS servers, save and exit the file

Then you can check DNS with
/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_dns
Which now shows the correct DNS settings

The SDDC Manager immediately sorted its self with no action needed

Kinda like the title says really, hoping someone can help, after hours of looking into this I cant find a fix and its causing a lot of issues

I have genuine Nintendo WiiMotes, they all pair easily to thee bar, no issues there, but sometimes, especially if you put them down for a little bit, the controller seeming disconnects from the emulator, the wiimote is still showing as paired but it does nothing in any game

The only way to resolve this is to reload the entire emulator loosing all progress thats unsaved, save states do not fix this either

The option to continuously scan for wii remotes is enabled

Is anyone else having this issue or knows a fix please?

Hi, hoping someone can point me in the right direct with getting started with Kasten please, as this is almost surely a user error on my part, but I cant figure out what

Like the title says, I have deployed Kasten in a K8S cluster, currently not really doing much until Kasten is setup, however when generating the token to log in to the WebUI, the page just refreshes and I cant log in

This is running on a vSphere Kubernetes cluster, which isnt anything fancy, just K8S with PSA enabled
The K8S release is 1.33, and its a FIPS cluster, if that makes any difference, I would have gone with 1.35 non FIPS, however 1.33 was the latest the primer said 8.5.8 would install on

For the steps I have taken to deploy it, I ran the following once getting logged into my K8S cluster

A default storage class needed setting, from some issues I had before, so the below was run on my preferred storage class
kubectl patch storageclass vsan-esa-auto-raid-policy-latebinding \
  -p '{"metadata": {"annotations": {"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class": "true"}}}'

The repo was added to helm with
helm repo add kasten https://charts.kasten.io/
And helm was update with
helm repo update

A Kasten namespace was created with
kubectl create namespace kasten-io

And, due to 8.5.x requiring elevated permissions, I think they are sorting this with Kasten v9, PSA was disabled through a label on the kasten namespace
kubectl label namespace kasten-io pod-security.kubernetes.io/enforce=privileged

Helm was then used to deploy Kasten with a few flags, 3 secrets I believe is needed due to this being on vSphere, the external gateway flag to expose the UI over the load balancer and another to enable token based authentication, which should really be enabled else the UI just logs you in

helm install k10 kasten/k10 --namespace=kasten-io \
  --set secrets.vsphereUsername=<vsphere-username> \
  --set secrets.vspherePassword='<password>' \
  --set secrets.vsphereEndpoint=<vsphere-fqdn> \
  --set auth.tokenAuth.enabled=true \
  --set externalGateway.create=true \
  --set services.gateway.loadBalancer.type=LoadBalancer

The pods all deploy, and the external service is accessible and I can get to the login screen at
http://<external-ip>/k10/#/

For the token, my understanding is I need a service account with cluster-admin permissions to generate a token, so I ran this to create the service account

kubectl create serviceaccount k10-admin --namespace kasten-io

This to set the permissions

kubectl create clusterrolebinding k10-admin \
  --clusterrole=cluster-admin \
  --serviceaccount=kasten-io:k10-admin

And then this to generate a token
kubectl --namespace kasten-io create token k10-admin --duration=24h

I copied the entire output into the WebUI and the page just refreshes, instead of logging me in

Am I missing something stupid?

Thanks in advance ❤️

*Warning - Rant*

Im the last person that likes bringing some negativity into this forum

But the 9.1 requirements are just plain insanity..

The VCF Service Runtime has some benefits sure, but ont he smallest size, its 40vCPU and 82GB to not really change much for an end user day to day making running this on smaller environments just unfeasable

There is a new licensee server?? Ops was handling that fine not sure why it was needed, guess its 2vCPU/4GB so meh

But now im looking through vDefend, which is unlicensed after a 9.1 upgrade, because, guess what, that too needs a license server, and the requirements for that are a joke, 6vCPU and 24GB, thats insanity

Trying to learn this in a home lab is kinda impossible unless you wanna get some expensive and LOUD pizza box servers, like R640s, not really home lab friendly
And with current hardware shortages getting the actual INSANE amount of RAM needed for this, even with NVMe tiering, is just not possible

I actually think im going to have to rip everything out and build it again, just not with VCF, probably vSphere + vSAN + NSX + Ops + Supervisor, means I havent got the SDDC Manager, and the massive service runtime, will have to suck up the vDefend license server though.. But the lab runs my services at home, so its not just a VCF lab, its a homelab on VCF so its not gunna be fun

Kinda like the title says, gauging interest in some video content before I make any

I do a lot of blogs, mostly covering how to setup, deploy and update VCF/Veeam stuff on my website

However, I dont really touch on a showcase of that the product can do

Now for work, I do a LOT of product demos showcasing what VCF can do, Ops, vSAN, NSX, K8S kinda thing

So I was thinking of making some videos like that which just show you, in a lot of detail, what the solutions can do and how I am using them in my lab

I think they would help a bit in working out if you wanna use the service, the configurations guides, I think are helpful, but if you just want to see what it can do to decide if your even interested, they are kinda pants at that

I think a video/webinar style thing would work a lot better vs a blog format, would definitely like to give it a go, if there is some demand

Would this be helpful to the VCF community?

Always appreciate any feedback

Possibly stupid question, K8S newbie, but do you actually need to backup an ArgoCD instance

Since, from my understanding, its just pushing files from Git, it shouldnt need to be? Or is that wrong

Thanks in advance ❤️
