TIP
: To nd the host names, you can use the VMM console. Or, to nd the host names in a cluster, you can run the following
Windows PowerShell command, where <
ClusterName
> is the name of the cluster, such as <
Prex
>CCL and <
Prex
>SCL:
Get-ClusterNode -Cluster <
ClusterName
> | Format-Table –Property Name
3 Restart each host for the setting to take e
ect. You can do this when it is convenient, such as during a scheduled maintenance
window. Note the following:
• If you are restarting a backup host, r
st stop any running backup jobs. For more information, see "Step 1: Stop any backups" in
Shutting down the stamp.
• Restart the hosts one at a time. Wait for a host to be up and running before you restart the next.
4 You can restart hosts:
• From the Fabric workspace in the VMM console, by right-clicking a host and then clicking Restart, or
• By using Windows PowerShell.
5 To restart hosts from a Windows PowerShell:
a Log on to any domain-joined computer (external to the stamp is preferable) with an account that is a member of the <
Prex
>-
Ops-Admins group.
b Open an elevated Windows PowerShell session.
c To restart the remote computer, run the following command, where HostName is the name of a physical host:
Restart-Computer –ComputerName <HostName> –Force
d Wait until the host is up and running before you restart the next host.
Reclaim space on the compute cluster nodes
NOTE: This section does not apply if the Microsoft update version of the Dell Hybrid Cloud System for Microsoft stamp at initial
deplo
yment is version 1603 or a later version. To check the update version, see
How to check which update package is installed.
To reclaim space on the compute cluster nodes, you can manually remove the Console.vhdx le fr
om the local disk on each host:
1 On the Console VM, open an elevated Windows PowerShell session, that is, run as Administrator.
2 Run the following command, where <hostname1
>,<hostname2>,… are the names of all physical hosts in the compute cluster.
Invoke-Command <
hostname1
>,<
hostname2
>,... {Remove-Item D:\VHD\Console.vhdx}
TIP: To nd the host names
, you can use the VMM console or you can run the following Windows PowerShell command,
where <
Prex
> is the stamp prex.
Get-ClusterNode -Cluster <
Prex
>CCL | Format-Table –Property Name
Onboarding to Operational Insights fails if proxy authentication is required
If your environment requires proxy authentication (using Basic authentication) for internet access, Azure onboarding to Operational Insights
(
also known as OMS, or Microsoft Operations Management Suite) fails while trying to create the Run As account called
"AdvisorProxyRunAsAccount" in Operations Manager.
1 If you are trying to onboard to Azure during initial stamp deployment, you must temporarily ignore this issue and complete stamp
deplo
yment.
2 After stamp deployment, do the following:
a On the Console VM, open the Operations console.
b In the Administration workspace, under Run As Conguration, right-click Accounts, and then click Create Run As Account.
c Complete the
Create Run As Account Wizard using the following settings.
