Hi Team,

Can anyone help me to understand what are the parameters, based on which vROPS gives the value of 'Time Remaining'.

how can we calculate it manually to verify ?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I'm probably just missing something that hinders my understanding but I cannot figure it out right now..

We have one vCenter with a separate Composer for the View Environment. This vCenter has two Clusters, both cluster doing their own vSAN. One Cluster has 5 hosts and should have a FTT=2 for the VMs, etc. The other cluster has only 4 hosts so a policy of FTT=1 should be okay.

When we enable "Use vSAN" on the View Pool it automically generated View Policies, but it did not do so for each Pool but just in general for the view environment.

How do I configure it in a way that Pools running in cluster A use the Policy set A and Pools running in cluster B use the Policyset B?

I'm able to create new policies of course, but the linked-clone pools are deleted and regenerated after user logoff and the new VMs tend to use the polices created by view. So at the moment we cannot differentiate between the two clusters from a policy perspective and had to configure FTT=1 in the view policies.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

I'm having some issues that I'm hoping the community can solve.  I have a vCSA 5.5 in my environment that I want to upgrade to 6.5.  I downloaded the 6.5e ISO and mounted it, ran the installer.  The problem is I am stuck at step 3.  I input the info for the source appliance (the current vCSA 5.5) with the appropriate info which seems to take.  However the info I input for the second section, the ESXi Host or vCenter Server info seems to be the issue.  I have used both the direct IP for the host as well as the IP for the vCSA 5.5.  Using port 5480 as I can't get further on any other port.

When inputting the info using host IP, I get the error "Failed to get an SSL thumbprint of the source server certificate for [host IP]."

When inputting the info using vCSA IP, I get the certificate warning window, which I press Yes to, but then the error is "Invalid credentials for ESXi host or vCenter Server."  I have switched the username to be any of these:  root / administrator@vsphere.local / vmadmin (this is our vCenter admin account) / vmadmin@vsphere.local - all come up with the same error.  I know that all of these work to log in to the host directly, and that the xxx@vsphere.local accounts work when logging into the vCSA through both the web ui and using the vSphere client. 

So what am I doing incorrectly, and why won't it let me upgrade?  Should I just cut my losses and make a new vCSA and then remove my hosts from the old one and add them to the new one?  Is there something else I should try to do?

Hi All,

As you might know, Active Directory integration has been deprecated in Log Insight 4.5+ - VMware vRealize Log Insight 4.5 Release Notes.

I was wondering if VMware had any plans to add support for vCenter Single Sign-On as an authentication source in the future releases of the product. It makes sense when Log Insight is used only for collecting events from vSphere.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

I am new to Mirage and have been successful in assigning base layers to multiple machines, however our most recent base layer just seems to get stuck in some sort of loop.  Machines will get to 93% Initializing Layer Update, hang there for a while then hit 100%.  The machine will get to 40% on Assign base layer, error and start over.  The exception listed in the error is "InternalError".  I am not 100% sure where to start troubleshooting this.  I can go back and use an older base but I would like to know what may have happened to cause this, what logs could help, etc.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Brad

Hi,

I am trying to come up with a script which will get all of the VMs from a data store cluster.  Then based on the host they are on create one queue per unique host.  Finally then kick off one svMotion per host at a time.  The goal is for a controlled migration of VMs off of an old data store cluster onto a new on.

I got the easy part of getting all the VMs $AllVMsInDatastoreCluster = Get-DatastoreCluster - Name | Get-VM.

I know logically I will need a different list per host within the cluster and want to load up the VMs based on the value in $AllVMsInDatastoreCluster[x].Host.Name

I was hoping to use Group-Object to create the groups, but then I do not know how to reference the groups after I have them, to start one svMotion per host.  So that all of the hosts will have one svMotion occurring at a time until all of the VMs in each of the groups have been migrated.  So if there is 10 hosts there are 10 svMotions occurring at once.

On build 16226 of Win 10 x64, VMWare Workstation 12 won't install.  It get hung up on installing the Visual C++ 2008 Redist package.  There's tons of threads about VMWare install failing on this error and even more on the Visual C++ 2008 in general.  None of the fixes have worked.

Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161 -- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC90.ATL,version="9.0.30729.6161",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86",type="win32"'.

One could say this is a Microsoft problem, but VMWare Workstation is the only program that wants to install this 10 year old package and guess what, Microsoft isn't likely going to fix this...

Experts,

In my solution i have some (over a 100) VMs that i need to change their harddisk type from IDE to SCSI. In order to do that, i need to go into every VM vmdk file and change ddb.adapter = “ide.” to “lsilogic.”. Then remove the old IDE harddisk and add a new SCSI harddisk. In order to do that, i will need to login into every host navigate to the VM vmdk file and manually replace the attribute and save the file. Is there a fast way to do that using powerCli that can change/replace the adapter type with a script on the fly without having to download/update all the vmdk files locally on my PC? I have been reading a lot of posts here but none seems to accomplish what i'm looking for. This was the closest but the change is not on the fly (What is the best way to change the Virtual Device Node of a HardDisk from IDE to SCSI? ) .. help is appreciated.

Hi, All!
From this weekends Worstation 12.5 is not working (i think fedora is updated).

In vmmon and vmnet sorces i change function get_user_pages  to get_user_pages_remote.

But problem still here.

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all  Result a error.

Any ideas?

I am having an issue with a large sized Win 2012 R2 VM running on 6.0U2 with multiple vmdk files.

I have tried many solutions to resolve my slow dragging VM issue after ESXi update, unsuccessfully.

I would like to build a new Win 2012 R2 VM on the same host, properly configure it and then reattach the 11Tb D: drive to this new VM.

How can it be done?

I cannot move/copy the D: drive (VIPFS_2.vmdk) from its original source on datastore because it is too big.

I want to build new VM with more RAM and CPU cores and reattach large vmdk (with an option to roll back to original VM if needed).

Please point me to an article if one exists.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

we used at the moment the Usage Meter 3.5. In the monthly report, the Usage Meter reports the "VMware vCloud SP Advanced Bundle".

But we use the "VMware vCloud SP Standard Bundle with Management".

How can i change the product bundle in the usage meter?

Thanks for the help!

Kind Regards

As VIO cannot be used for "proper" OpenStack usage due to there begin no Images that can be used for OpenStack and these images be used for SSH and/or Password Injection or can Instances be resized when using templates from vCenter. This overrides everything OpenStack and we have mistakenly installed and configured VIO and deployed over 180 Instances so I guess we are stuck with it.

To overcome this we want to install another hypervisor namesly KVM so we can use this hypervisor for the Instances that require resizing and other proper OpenStack options.

Can another hypervisor we added to an existing VIO deployment? IS it possible to deploy KVM in a host and then add that host to VIO ??

It is unfortunate that VMware do not provide Images and do not provide guides on using Images so that customers can use OpenStack with all the features of KVM.... I believe with the money that has been outlayed for NSX and all the other costs it would be nice to be able to use VIO in its fullest capacity. Maybe we are missing something but not having Linux Images that can be used for resizing, SSH Key injection is a massive downfall....If someone has a solution we would even be willing to pay handsomely for someone to create Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian images yet from what we have researched I do not think it is possible.

So if adding a KVM hypervisor to VIO is possible this would solve our issue as we can keep our normal Instances and new Linux Instances we can use KVM so customers can use SSH keys and benefit from image resizing.

Hi All,

I've run into a very strange issue and I cannot find a reason or resolution.

I'm currently running vCenter 6.0 U2 and I have 7 ESXi hosts with mixed versions, 6.0 U1 & 6.0 U2.

These hosts have 2 dedicated vmotion port groups tied to 2 nics, configured as active/active.

The management port group is configured only for management traffic.  So it looks like this:

vmotion 1 - (vmotion only)

vmotion 2 - (vmotion only)

management - (management only)

Here's the strange issue.  Sometimes, maybe once per week, I'm noticing that the management network automatically enables vmotion.  This occurs on different hosts at different times.  I can't figure out a pattern. I find this out because the logs indicate vmotion failures coming from the management IP address.  I resolve it by unchecking vmotion from the management port group, and everything is happy again.

Would there be any reason this would happen, aside from someone actually checking off "vmotion" on the management network?  I can say with 100% certainty, this is happening automatically, and nobody is making changes.

Thanks!

I installed windows 7 on fusion 8.5 some months ago and use it just infrequently just for a couple of programs but I would like to install all available updates for windows 7 from MS website via windows controller centre: check for updates but the updater just checking for updates for hours and nothing is happening. I know using Mozilla Firefox I can access the Internet and download files so the access works, but why I can not download updates? I run fusion on MBP 15" 2017 with Mac OS Sierra latest. The screen shot showing the updated running circles for hours is below.

Trying to update windows defender I got a message window with the error number (see below screenshot) so something is preventing windows accessing the internet, but what?

On my older MBP 13" I have similar setup and the windows 7 updates no problem. I compared all??possible??? settings and they look same.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I recently posted about an error message when attempting to power on a DOS program that is held on my flash drive.  It worked for a couple of days and then I began to get this error message that is:

VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)

vcpu-0:VERIFY vmcore/vmm/main/cpuid.c:386 bugNr=1036521

A log file is available in "C:\Users\Swamp\Documents\Virtual Machines\DOS\vmware.log".

You can request support.

To collect data to submit to VMware support, choose "Collect Support Data" from the Help menu.

You can also run the "vm-support" script in the Workstation folder directly.

We will respond on the basis of your support entitlement.

I have the Virtualization enabled on the BIOS, my instructor of the class I am taking has placed another copy of the DOS program on the flash drive and deleted the old one.  I recently upgraded to 12.7 which did not help. I hope I am offering enough inform@ation to get some help out there.  Thanks

I also failed to mention that I am using an HP Envy m7 with a 64bit OS and 16 GB of RAM with i7--7500U CPU @ 2.7GHz  2.9 GHz  and Windows 10 Home and a Sacdisk Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive 128 GB

Hi,

I found a really old webpage of Workstation 5 that speaks of a "VM>Capture Movie" option with a "VM>Capture Screen" also.  At least on Linux and Workstation 12 I see no such option.  I have "VM>Capture Screen" only.

Is it impossible to capture a movie of a Windows 7 VM on a Linux VMWare Worstation 12 machine ?

Cheers,

Steve

Hi

We just upgraded to vCenter 6.5. If we log into the Web client (not UI5)  and we try to export a OVA we get "This version of vCenter Server does not support Export OVF Template using this version of vSphere Web Client. To Export OVF Template, login with version 6.5.0.0 of vSphere Web Client."

Greetings,

I'm trying out the new PowerCLI 6.5 release and have so far had 0 luck getting it to even try and connect to our vCenter 6.0u2 environment.

The only information I've been able to gather so far is the following error message:

VERBOSE: Attempting to connect using SSPI

VERBOSE: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'vcenter.domain.com'.

VERBOSE: Connect using SSPI was unsuccessful

VERBOSE: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'vcenter.domain.com'.

Even after passing the vCenter Administrator username and pasword in domain/username format, I'm left with the error message:

VERBOSE: Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority 'vcenter.domain.com'.

The vCenter server has a cert signed by our Root CA that is trusted, and I've also gone so far as to import the vCenter cert manually and trusted it, but have had no further luck.

I am aware of the known issue mentioned in the 6.5R1 release notes regarding vCenter not being able to authenticate using Kerberos (VMware PowerCLI Release Notes), however that doesn't appear to be the issue here since I'm using the local administrator account.

I've seen 0 information on Google regarding this issue, and IRC has been of 0 help.

What's going on here!??!

Hi Team,

Can any one help me that which field i can select to capture disk utilization of VM's in vROPS for windows and Linux.

i am only able to see  'Disk Capacity Remaining %' in the raw data.

Thanks

Hi All,

I was wanting to do some testing on the new virtual nvme controller at the VM level

On the ESX 6.5 installer the 960 pro NVME drive was showing as an install option, however the server (DL380 G8) doesn't support booting from this drive

So I've installed ESX onto a single SSD

Now that I've booted into ESXi 6.5 I can't see the NVME drive anywhere

I know this drive is consumer but was wondering is there anyway to get it working ?
