Hi All,
Is there any way to change Import package settings in vRO, when we import any package in vRO by default "Import the values of the configuration settings" is ticked and I would like to change this settings to un-tick.

Error provisioning OpenStack: Failed to Execute Task INNER
I have a problem deploying OpenStack using VIO 2.0.1. It always fails around 86% with the following error message:
Failed to execute task: INNER
Task execution failed: Task failed on the following nodes: ['10.52.41.15', '10.52.41.14']. Refer logs for more details..
(Controller)
The IP addresses belong to the two Controller-VMs.
Digging through the logs I get one of these error messages, depending on the SSL/StartTLS/None setting for Active Directory:
08:01:26.700 16952 ERROR keystone.common.wsgi [-] {'info': 'TLS: unable to get CN from peer certificate', 'desc': "Can't contact LDAP server"}

2016-03-01 13:18:25,312 p=572 u=jarvis | msg: exception: name
When I change the configuration to use a local database instead of Active Directory It fails earlier with this error:
Task execution failed: Task failed because the following nodes were unreachable: ['10.52.41.23', '10.52.41.22'].
(Load Balancer)
And this entry in the log:
2016-03-01 14:52:52,979 p=572 u=jarvis | fatal: [10.52.41.22] => SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH debugging output to help diagnose the issue
2016-03-01 14:52:52,983 p=572 u=jarvis | fatal: [10.52.41.23] => SSH encountered an unknown error during the connection. We recommend you re-run the command using -vvvv, which will enable SSH debugging output to help diagnose the issue
These IPs are from the two load balancer VMs.
I attached the log files from the vio appliance and the log files from the vsphere log collector from the last try.

(UPDATED) Workstation and VMPlayer 12.1.0 build-3272444 extended vesa configuration DEPRECATED behaviour at boot time (hardware 12 related?)
This was a BIG PROBLEM for me for few hours, so it could be for others. This post maybe will eventually try to help other users with the same problem and to advise developers to change this - in my opinion - absolutely deprecable behaviour.
As in the subject, the problem is exactly that,
Advanced considerations.
I like to use extended vesa resolutions with all my guests to properly and quickly configure my guest machines screen resolution at boot time.
With Linux hosts I do use Grub configuration file to setup glxmode to my choosed resolution (usually I like to boot my guests at 1440x900) and I do use glxpayload grub option to keep it from console to the graphical user interface.
Everything was working as expected until I upgraded my guests virtual hardware to the last versiion (12) and I upgraded to latest guest VMware Tools (version 10.0.5-3228253).
To cut it short, after both this tasks (hardware upgrade and new VMware Tools upgrade), ALL my guests keep to ignore the Grub glxmode resolution and they started in VGA mode, keeping it for the whole boot and ending me with a graphical machine configured at VGA resolution :-( Really disappointing. Grub prompt showed me - using the vbeinfo command - the extended vesa bios modes were no more supported.
I could use xorg.conf.d to properly setup the X resolution (in case of Linux guests), or do use drag and drop to resize the guests screen when OS and VMware Tools were properly loaded after boot was complited, then I still had always VGA (or any "non extended" Vesa Bios modes) at boot time in console mode.
What I did to solve the problem.
I then investigated the issue and find the culprit. ALL my virtual guest machines configuration (VMX files) were modified by something (Virtual Hardware 12? New VMware Tools?) with this three strings totally NOT WANTED AND NOT REQUESTED by me:
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "4194304"
vmotion.checkpointSVGAPrimarySize = "33554432"
svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "TRUE"
I don't have idea what those lines properly do, then I finally found - and it was a relief - that simply changing:
svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "TRUE"
to
svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "FALSE"
solved the problem and my guests again like before respected the glxmode configured in the Grub configuration file and were able to boot any not standard Vesa Bios mode. This was also, obviously, confirmed by the vbeinfo command at Grub prompt.
Now I ask: why developer (or who considering it was not me???) changing the behaviour of such a delicate parameter without any explication?
IMHO, if this is inteded, VMware developers should come back to the old behaviour where svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware (do existed before? I don't reallyknow) it is by default FALSE!
If it is a bug, please, fix it :-(((
UPDATE: it is even worst compared to Iwas supposed it was :-(((( On some machines, I still didn't discover on what base, it is even worst! After shutdown the paramenter
svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "FALSE"
it is automagically (!!!) changed back to:
svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "TRUE" :-(((
Now the problem is: how to block this change??? Yes I can still change the VMX file to read only, then I suppose there is another parameter controlling this VM guest configuration autochange! If you have any idea...

ESXi 5.5u0 and Adaptec 7805 (Maxview) issue
Hello dea community, here is another topic about ESX+Adaptec problem, i couldnt find solution to mine yet.
Here is the history:
I have a Supermicro server with Adaptec 7805 controller. I integrated the lates adaptec into VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-depot and managed to install ESXi 5.5u0 with it.
The output of esxcli software vib list | grep -i aacraid:
| scsi-aacraid | 5.5.5.2.1.41024-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820 Adaptec_Inc | VMwareCertified 2016-03-31 |
My next step was to get Maxview working. I successfully installed vibs: vmware-esxprovider-arcconf.vib and vmware-esxprovider-arc-cim-provider.vib
Then i installed the latest Maxview Storage Manager from GuestOS installer on Win2012R2. So its gets to the start page and when i input credentials its starts thinking for a lot of time and the just pops: Login Failed : Internal error occurred.
This is problem number one.
Problem number two appeared when i decided to update my host to 5.5u1. This update replaced my driver with another version and all datastores dissapeared.
So here are two questions : 1 - how can i update ESXi 5.5 to lates release without loosing access to datastores? 2 - How can i make Maxview work?
Thank you!

Unable to take quiesced snapshot
After a reboot of a server, it can happen that it is not possible to take a quiesced snapshot.It happened after an update to 6U1 from 6.0. Before the update there were no problems.
We did the following to troubleshoot the problem.
* Reinstall VMWare Tools
* Check VSS Providers for errors (no errors)
What we found out was that it can happen after a reboot of the server and only if the service "VMware Snapshot Provider" is running (service is set to manual). To correct it we need to stop "VMware Snapshot Provider" and "VMware Tools". If all is stable, ie no running services, which should not run, like "Volume Shadow Copy" we start the service "VMware Tools". After this we can take a quiesced snapshot again.
While this ain't a huge problem, it is annoying at best. Any one have a solution or have the same problem.

moving a VM between Mac and Windows
I have a windows 7 guest VM sitting on Mac OS 10.6, using VMware fusion 3.0.
Is the guest VM file portable, such that I could take it to a windows-based host running VMware (workstation, I assume)?
Thanks!

How to delete a snapshot if has the same name?
Hi guys, if I have multiple snapshots all with the same name, how do I specify which snapshot is the one I want to delete?
eg.

I could get the ID of the snapshot, but how do I pass that to the remove-snapshot command?

Block the extension of Boot Drive while using 'Reconfigure' action
Hi everyone,
In vRA, after a machine is provisioned initially using a Blueprint, the user has an option to Reconfigure the VM.
We have a requirement that the user should be able to edit everything except that the boot drive cannot be expanded.
The user can assign multiple drives, and the other drives can be added as required.
The Reconfigure action comes built-in with VRA, so it cannot be edited.
I am attaching the screenshots for reference
The edit option in the default volume in Storage tab should not be editable.
Can we do that?

VMWare Workstation, VIX и C#. Нубу нужна помощь.
Стоит VMWare Workstation 12. Так же скачал и поставил VIX 1.15
Документацию читал, немного разобрался. Смог подключаться к хосту и открыть виртуальную машину через OpenVM().
Но не совсем понятен принцип работы. Кто-нибудь может помочь и "на пальцах" объяснить, как оно работает?
Как, например, дёрнуть все ВМ и узнать их пути?

VM’s DNS registration deleted when VMware tools is updated
vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 1123961
ESXi 5.1.0 Build 1483097
VM Hardware version 9
vmxnet3 driver
We are seeing an issue where when we update VMware Tools the A-record on our DNS server is removed for that VM. The only way to resolve the issue is to "ipconfig /registerdns" which I feel is find for a band-aid, but not a good solution.
It seems as though others have had this same issue in the past without any real VMware resolution.

Required permisions for NFS mount on ESXi host
Hi Team,
In our application Uses java)use VMWARE API to mount the NFS datastore on the ESXi host. But to do this, we require root permissions of the ESXI. Since having root credentials is violating the security of the system, we would like to create a user with the required permissions which will be sufficient to add the NFS mount on ESXi host.
But not sure how to know the required permissions for mounting the NFS on ESXi host. Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks In advance,

ThinApp: Encorr for Windows and BI Client issue
Hi,
I am sequencing Encorr for windows and Business intelligence client both applications.
After testing I found that both shortcuts is having an issues:
1) Encorr for windows:
Launched-> half launched and message displays initializing.
2) Business intelligence client:
Launched -> The executable comes and goes of looked at task manager and nothing launched.
The applications are developed in Visual basic 6.
To solve it,
- I have tried applying compatibility mode
- Changed isolation modes.
- With the help of procmon, I have even included, registered DLL's which might be required to be present in ThinApp bubble.
May I know what might be the issue.
any suggestions please welcome.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,

User Environment Manager, will it replace Persona Management?
About a year ago VMWare released User Environment Manager
https://www.vmware.com/products/user-environment-manager
I have read a few blogs that think that VMWare will deprecate Persona Management in favor of User Environment Manager
Has anyone deployed User Environment Manager as a replacement for Persona Management?
If so, how is it working?

Permissions for vm network modify. vCenter 5.5u3.
Hello there.
I need to give AD user full vm permissions on a single folder and permissions to assign vmnetwork to vm in this folder (I got dvswitch). Well I got problem here:
1. If I set "assign network" property and apply it to VM folder AND to datacenter (cant apply it to dvswitch), then he can change vm networks on all vms in datacenter (not only in particular folder).
2. If I set "assign network" property and apply it to VM folder AND to few dvswitch portgroups, then he can only see vmnetwork lables in vm properties but can not change networks.
The only way I see is to use option 1. and to pick every folder and set "no access" except the folder that he should get permissions. But I guess its not the best way.
