  • 1.  Is ILMT 9.2.3 Available

    Posted Thu July 14, 2022 07:57 PM

    Hello,

    We are having issues with jumbled UUID numbers in 9.2.7 and the documentation says it has been fixed in 9.2.3. We only have 9.2.28 available on our PAO account. Is there somewhere else we can download 9.2.3?

    Thanks

    I'd have thought the fix in 9.2.3 would've rolled-up to future releases, right?

    Not sure what jumbled UUID means. We had duplicates reported in ILMT WebGUI that needed fixing.... mainly from VM cloning.

    For Linux VMs on vmware, no idea with Windows OS ILMT install so interpret for Windows directory structure from here, or ignore response now!

    Look at connection info in ILMT GUI “VM Manager” setup – ones with the reported duplicates and grab short name from connection URL

    Go to BigFix Root app server, location /var/opt/BESClient/LMT/VMMAN/config

    Grep for VM Mgr short name and take note of vmmconf ID

    Drop to logs folder, /var/opt/BESClient/LMT/VMMAN/logs

    Grep for UUID in all vmmconf_<ID> logs

    Grab output and de-dup UUID/s (Excel or whatever)

    Get hostname/IP from UUID, https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-display-vmware-uuid-assigned-virtual-guest-vmware-server

    Fix it;

    Using ESXi vSphere

    1) Shut down VM

    2) Back up the file – navigate to the VMX file in vCenter, Select the VNX, select 'copy to', navigate to the same LUN and directory (!!), then name it <hostname>.vnx_bak

    3) Download the VNX file

    4) Remove the 'uuid.bios' line

    5) Upload it again replacing the original

    6) Power on the VM – This will generate a new UUID
