Comment on View Planner 2.0 – Load-test your VMware View implementation by Mikeliu

Hi,all
When I was using View Planner 2 for VDI test, I was confused by some questions, I hope you guys can give me a hand. The questions are as following.

1. What is the OS version for desktop? Must it be Windows XP EN/US or Windows 7 EN/US 32/64 bit? Any other language editions are supported by View Planner 2? In addition, should the Windows XP Desktop updated to IE8.0?

2. Can I use Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 32 bit with Simple-Chinese?any restrictions? According to the View Planner installation manual, Windows Server 2008 32/64 bit are both supported, why in this website only Windows SRV 2003 R2 SP2 is supported?

3. what should I input for the datacenters of View Planner test including vCenter information and View information ? Should they be new datacenters?

Thank you guys a lot.

At this point in time it is not possible but it is being looked into for a future release.
You could create the above scenario and then do the entitlement process manually. Automatic entitlement is the part that does not work yet.

Is it possible to have the vCenter and View components in a difference domain from the isolated domain controller one would create for the load test? So vCenter and View are in domain A (production) and all test VMs (client and desktop) are in domain B (isolated Domain with the View Planner agent?)

Hi Jon,

Glad you can use the script/info.

servers.txt needs to hold 1 computer per line. i.e:

server01
server02
192.168.1.112
myserver.domain.com

It does not matter if it’s FQDN, IPs or netbios names, as long as the host running the logman collector script can get access to the computer you want to collect from.

I have used it to collect both XP, 2003 Server and 2008 Server information. As you correctly state, as long as the collectors are the same across OS’ it should work. Easiest way to verify that is to run typeperf -q on the hosts and compare results.

What format does the content of servers.txt need to be in? There is no servers.txt file in the zip file for reference.
Have you had any issues collecting data from MS Server 2k3 and 2k8? I’m assuming that the collectors are the same across both OS’s.

There’s a surprising lack of knowledge surrounding logman on the internet, glad you created this!

Comment on Script: Create vSphere Client shortcuts based on recent connections by rsj

You need to change line 2 and 5 so that it matches your environment.
It is a PowerShell script so just save as .ps1 and you should be able to run if. What kind of error does it throw?

Looks very interesting + useful.

Is this a PowerShell script? A .bat script? I tried both with no success.
How can it be run?

Thanks!
