Need help to configure Linux Redhat 8.4 VDA 2203 LTSR and MCS

[MBi]

Hello,

 

I'am a bit confused with the Linux VDA configuration.

I need to create a master image and then deploy joined domain and persistant VDI's.

I installed the master image with all required packages.

The master image is joined to the domain using easyinstall method.

After easyinstall is completed I try to create a Catalog but it failed.

I noticed that the mcs.conf file does not contain any of the settings I set in easyinstall. It is like a default mcs.conf file.

 

What it wrong ?

 

Thank you ?

I tried using the VDA 2301 version and it works better.

I can create a catalog. The new machine is joined in the domain.

The issue is that when I run the machine then Studio keep the "name" empty, and showing only the Computer object SID as "Machine".

The VDA is not registering.

I also noticed that I cannot use a domain user to authenticate to the machine using the vSphere console.

 

 

Edit : I added a second machine and its name was correct. But it still not register.

 

Which log can I read to see VDA registration error ?

I can see this error :

 

Get ComputerSID Failed: System.NullReferenceException on /var/log/xdl/vda*.log

So I found that not joining the zero machine to the domain is best.

 

Did you use the easy install for configuring MCS settings?

 

[MBi]

Yes I did.

 

Ok so I should try not to join the template machine to the domain. I will have a try.

I've noticed that easyinstall does not write dns config in a correct way.

the 'dns1' line contained the two dns I set in easyinstall gui.

After changing it to dns1='mydns1' and dns2='mydns2' VDA can now registered.

 

The issue is now that when I try to connect to my VDI I get an "Invalid Logon" error.

I still cannot log with a user's domain.

 

I am using winbind.
