App Volume 3.0:

I see all the configuration correct, but applications are not provisioned to client systems. What could be the problem ?

Hi,

I've got this script (from vc1 or Site A) to help copy a template, convert to VM, migrate VM to vCenter2 in Site B and convert VM to template  but I now need to do the following:

1. Instead of doing each VM one by one, I want to do all of them at the same time in parralel so it doesnt take so long.

2. Instead of have two separate scripts for linux and windows and 2 different template csv's, have 1 script and manage all but have some smarts to recognise its a linux template or windows template (perhaps in the CSV have template name and OS name). Also the linux and windows templates need to land on different ESXi and datastores in vc2.

thanks for your help.

I have a GTS250 card (old I know), under WS14 my VM's are enabled for 3D acceleration and when VMs start there are no error messages. If I upgrade to WS15 the same VM now gets error messages that there is no 3D acceleration enabled in the host. If I uninstall WS15 and reinstall WS14 then that exact same VM starts up without any 3D acceleration error messages. Whats changed in WS15 that now results in my acceleration no longer working? If I look at the specs pages both say they need DX10.1 but obviously that can not be the case because WS14 works and WS15 doesn't. Any idea's?

Hi!

Does anybody know how to change/edit "Deployment" description after provisioning? End-user can easy change/add VMs description after deployment (using "Reconfigure" task), but I don't see any options to edit Deployment description... I haven't been lucky with vRO/REST API, looks like no methods/functions exists to update already deployed object VCACCAFE:CatalogResource (I'll be happy to be wrong on it). Could not believe that so obvious function is missing in vRA.

Hi Guys,

Totally newbie to VMware world, I have been trying to install Windows Server 2008 on my machine but gets the following error.

I am running Esxi 4.0 and all other machines are working perfectly except Windows Server 2008.

\windows\system32\drivers\volmgrx.sys

I assume it doesn't know my NIC driver.

Please help.

Thank you

I have now tried with both Fusion Pro 10 and 11, I cannot get my Guest Windows 10 system to extend displays or detect my additional monitor. The touch bar on the Mac shows Extend and mirror when I have another screen connected and on the Mac (host) side this works as required. However in Fusion, it doesn't work, I have all the VMware tools installed, I have even done a clean install of Windows 10 and no difference I have tried to use all displays in Full screen and single view, with no luck, it just keeps mirroring the Windows 10 (guest) on each screen. Please advise what else I can try to get it to detect my additional monitor.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I know it's possible to use VMware UAG for secure external access to the applications and virtual desktop of our organization.

But it seems doesn't appear in the VMware Horizon Enterprise Edition.

Can we buy directly the license from part or we have to pass directly on VMware Workspace One?

Thank's in advance.

Hi Luc,

will following syntax is sufficient enough to check any latency related log in vmkernel.

i have  connected to esxi using powercli and run following

get-log -Key vmkernel|?{$_ -like "latency"}

also could yu suggest simple way to run esxtop using powercli and check latency related issue.

I am trying to create a layer 2 extension in my on-prem VC and it is failing with error "MtaException: MTA-02"

I have configured L2 appliance using tenant-cx UI and added 2 IP in the pool

In Cloud side I have deployed an ESG and converted it into advance networking services. Added a routed network as sub-interface.

Basically followed all steps mentioned in blog: https://kiwicloud.ninja/2017/11/vcloud-director-extender-part-5-stretch-networking-l2vpn/#comment-17120

On checking mobility.log in my on-prem cx appliance, I am seeing below errors

No help available on google regarding this topic.

Looking for guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue.

Evaluating this product on refurbed dual 2670v1 box..

Install one test VM, ubuntu, fine.

Install another, get this error msg : "The VM configuration was rejected. Please see browser Console"

- Ok that was fast. (no the folder is not present).

Try to manually create a folder on datastore. Nothing happens.

Now I try and power off the first VM, hard "Power off" ... nothing. Reset ... nothing. Log on to VM manually and shutdown Ubuntu manually that works.

First experience running this product do not inspire confidence!

recently our view environment has  found a problem with a few pools not being able to use the Windows Search feature fro the start button.  We used to be able to click Start then start typing and that no longer happens.  Been trying to figure out why with NO luck.  Those desktops work fine when we try to login to the console and the MASTER works as well.  Strange thing is that it doesn't happen to all pools.  I have 2 users (one being me) and after moving the computer account to a different OU i can use the search feature just fine.  However the other user cannot. Everything is equal with both users.  The stranger thing is that these pool use to work and now they do NOT.  Everything else works just fine but the search feature and a ton of users want that feature back.  Anyone have a clue where to look?  All the Search services are started as nothing has changed in the environment except the master image.  No major updates  done to it just some software updates.  Any help is certainly appreciated.  Thanks for all the assistance.

Уважаемые!

имеем HA кластер растянутый на 2 блэйд корзины.

Можно ли как-то настроить так, чтобы DRS балансировал виртуалки в пределах отдельно каждой корзины (группы хостов), но в случае недоступности всей 1-й корзины со всеми хостами, HA перезапускал их на хостах 2 корзины, ну и на оборот (при отказе всех во 2-й перезапуск на хостах в 1-й)

Please find below details of servers :

• OS version : Windows 2012 R2 Standard – 64 bit
• vRA Version : vra 7.4

Certificate Details :

• Valid from : 7/6/2018 to 7/5/2020
• Signature Algorithm : sha1RSA

Please suggest

Where can I locate a detailed and up-to-date description of the features and limitation of the 6.5 and 6.7 versions of the free ESXi hypervisor?

Regards

mariua

hi

Is it possible to configure the same vlan as part of the trunk port and also as uplink port?

thanks

Hi All,

During installation I get following message "No Network Adapters". (in ESXi 5.5 versions)

In ESXi 6.7 versions server reboots while loading /sb.v00 or /s.v00.

Intel has only following driver to download i40en-1.3.1 but this driver is already included in custom images (HPE, Lenovo).

With best regards,

Ulukbek

Hi could someone from troubleshooting team check the following output and suggest what needs to be checked .

we are getting vmkernel messages for performance deterioration and latency increase from average value .this is for iscsi datastore(vmfs).

Hello Luc,

I have been trying to find q  depth of iscsi adapter as per following .but value is blank here .

C:\Windows\system32> $esx_cli.system.module.parameters.list("iscsi_vmk")|?{$_.name -eq "iscsivmk_HostQDepth"}

Description                              Name                Type Value

-----------                              ----                ---- -----

Maximum Outstanding Commands Per Adapter iscsivmk_HostQDepth int      

i thought of increasing the q depth as esxtop has high value of 780 under CMDS/s under iscsi adapter.

Hello,

I have a new 6.5 VCSA and new hosts 6.5 added to an existing vCD 8.2 environment that has been using a Windows vCenter 6.0 and old hardware (ESXi 6). I am looking for a way of migrating the existing vAPPS and VMs to the new vCenter/Hosts/resources. The storage is not shared, it can be if it makes it easier.

If anyone has any advice on how to migrate these it would be greatly appreciated?

I am investigating the use of the vCD Extender and using it to migrate from the old vCenter to the same existing vCD, if anyone has had experience with that, any guidance would be good?

Thanks
