We want to resize and increase a partition size inside all VMs of a VNF, without editing vm settings individually using vsphere as below,
Please note these VMs are already deployed and we dont prefer to undeploy the VMs to make these changes.
We are looking at ways to mass-administer the VMs in bulk. Is there any VMware tool that helps to achieve this as a bulk operation without editing individual VM settings to resize the partition ?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am trying to update the esxi patch through update manager but i am getting the below error.
Esxi version - 6.5
vcenter version - 6.5
Hi all, I am new here and I just started using Vmware Horizon client at my office. We have an issue with one of our in-house applications and I need to point our Vmware team where and what to look to fix it.
We have a custom windows application using Infrgistics's controls like the grid and tabs, running on the Vmware horizon client. Everything is working fine but when we try to use the drag and drop features for things like reordering the columns in the grid or moving one tab to a different place within the application it doesn't work. The actual drag and drop starts when you hold the left click and start dragging but it immediately stops. It looks like if the application didn't "holds" (in lack of a better word) the mouse, as one little window appears on the taskbar and immediately disappears.
I know drag and drop inside the client are enabled because I can do it in other applications like word and excel.
Is there any setting on the server or the client to enable this? It works if we run the same application inside on the browser
Thanks,
Luis

Hi,
I'm using VCD 10 integrated with NSX-T 2.5. As far I see, I can't share org VDC network with other Virtual Data Centers within the same organization. There is no any option to do it. I guess the reason is VCD is integrated with the NSX-T. Because, I can share the networks on VCD 9.5 which integrated with the NSX-V.
Is that possible for my case ? Is this option in the roadmap on the future or deprecated ?
Thanks.
Hi,
Anybody has the powershell script to get the Vcenter and Esxi hosts health status which includes esxi active status, alarms, resource utilization, datastore utilization and any critical events on the vcenter server.
Please let me know if anybody can help on this.
Hi,
Objective:
Currently vMotion is attached to the vmkernel used by the Management traffic on a standard switch which only has 1 Gbit/s uplinks.
Aim is to move the vMotion traffic to start using the 10 Gbit/s uplinks (which are currently in use by vSAN as Active/Standby)
Steps:
Create a new VLAN and respective network (ex: /24)
Allow/add the newly created vLAN on the hosts uplinks switchport trunks
On the Distributed Switch in use by vSAN having 2 uplinks (1 active and 1 standby)
Create a new distributed portgroup to be used by vMotion
Attach the portgroup to the newly created VLAN that will be dedicated to vMotion
Set the Teaming and Failover to use the vSAN standby adapter as its Active Uplink with the remaining one set as Standby (reverse order)
On each host in the cluster
Add a vmkernel adapter
Select the newly created distributed portgroup
Tick the vMotion as Enabled Services
Set an IPv4 address
Finish
Repeat the above (add distributed portgroup per cluster and vmkernel adapter for each host)
For each cluster distributed switch in use by vSAN, in NIOC change vSAN traffic from 50 to 100 (Leave all else as default)
Once all done, remove vMotion traffic from the Management vmkernel
Do you think the above steps are correct/complete as plan is to do this on a live environment? (DRS is disabled on all clusters so no VM migrations expected)
Any tests you can recommend (other then trying to migrate some VM's) to proof all configuration is correct/working?
Welcome any thoughts/suggestions.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to create a list with all VM´s where the MAx Reservation of RAM is enabled and Locked
I just have this and i´m able to to a where with reservation like 0, but i need vm´s whith ram locked enabled as well

Need inputs and suggestions on the Workspace one Automation released in 1910.
Trying to push the use of Automation over other PC doctor tools available in the market. Any suggestions or inputs are highly appreciated.
I have a registry file that enables modern auth and some other Office 365 related registry settings.
This reg file imports perfectly in a 1803 and 1809 images when using AppVolumes. We want to test FSlogix to see if it will provide a better experience using the O365 Containers for OneDrive/Teams in place of Writable Volumes.
In our 1809 image with FSlogix the registry settings are not being applied even though in the log file it says the registry file is imported successfully. Anyone see something like this before?
Hi,
I have found out that some Explorer settings are not applied when a user log-in to a desktop.
We are using Linked Clones desktops with “Refresh after logoff” settings.
So, users have always clean desktop when log-in.
When a user unset (clear) “Always show icons, never thumbnails” in File Explorer it is correctly exported by UEM when the user logoff.
But when the user logon to a new desktop File Explorer do not show thumbnails.
I have found out that it is because Explorer.exe is already running when user UEM settings are applied.
So, when I kill Explorer.exe and run it again it is applied.
We don’t want to kill Explorer.exe on all desktops after a user log-in.
Does anyone experience with it?
Is it possible to support similar Explorer settings by UEM?
Thanks,
Pavel
Using ESXi6.7 -
I have two guests A and B - Guest A is a transparent bridge, it passes traffic, it also has a management port that i can assign using DHCP (or not)
1/ If i assign a port group to each and use DHCP to an external upstream DHCP server. All works great for both guests.
2/ Assign static IP's , all day long - not a problem.
3/ If i try and have guest B obtain a DHCP address via Guest A with the internalonly port group it will;
a/ Work 100% of time as long as Guest A does not have an associated DHCP address it's obtained.
b/ Will not work and get timeout when Guest A has it's ip address via DHCP
My question is:
Is there a restriction on the number of DHCP IP's a Guest can obtain and where is that limiter?
We have had a reoccuring problem for quite a few people now where they will plug their USB storage drive or Mobile phone into their VM and it wont appear in the VM through Windows. Sometimes they do appear, but more than likely they wont.
They show up on the thin client or zero client (We use 10Zig 5984qv and HP T310s) so it cant be them.
Any ideas on where to start looking at this issue?
Some people never seem to have the problem. Obviously most of the USB drives are completely different but most of the phones are exactly the same as they are company provided.
Hey Guys,
I am relativ new here and i have directly an problem with that i am struggeling since a few days.
I wanted to use "vSphere Integrated Containers", i deployed the ova with the version 1.5.4, installed the plugin and then i created an VCH.
After that i opened the vic management site, i want to add the vch and then after i insert the fqdn and the port and click "save" then displayed the message "Invalid argument exception:Unrecognized Content-Type for parsing request body: text/html; charset=utf-8".
After all i upgraded the VCSA and the esxi to 6.7
The VIC Appliance is able to reach the VCH.
I hope someone is able to helping me.
Best regards
Hi,
When I turn on a VM, I see in the VM > Removable Devices
Qualcomm Bluetooth and
IMC Integrated Camera
I don’t want both in the VM, can I remove both?
Please let me know, how to remove it?
Do I need to uninstall driver of both from the VM or are there any other way also?

Is there any in-depth documentation on how to pass properties to vRO, when an Event is triggered. The very poor official documentation:
Writing Workflow and Action Code for vRealize Automation Cloud Assembly
just says to pass the payload to vRO, like you do with vRA 7. However no payload object of the Property type is pased to vRO. The only thing I get is a bunch of attributes, with _metadata* as a prefix in the name. There are no machine properties and, as there are no custom proeprties in vRA 8, I do not know how I could force vRA to pass those to a vRO workflow.
Also - in vRA 7, to test a subscription, I could just configure an event subscription that would be triggered on each event topic (Condition -> run for all events). This was really helpful when learning which parameters get passed with each topic. AFIAK there is no way to configure an "any" Event in vRA 8 - or is there?
I set up a Mac OS X 10.11 virtual machine so I can run 32-bit apps like Adobe CS) (since Catalina 10.15 won't support 32-bit), but the VMware Tools don't seem to be working.
The display won't resize from the default 1024x768 and none of the shared folders appear.
Is this a known problem?
Hi,
I installed Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 on VMware Workstation.
The Network connection of both are LAN Segment and because of LAN Segment, Internet is not working in both VMs.
Domain Controller and DHCP configured successfully on Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 is a DHCP Client.
Now I have to setup same lab with Internet access.
That’s why I installed another Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10.
Be it NAT or Bridged Network Connection, can I setup and configured Domain Controller and DHCP?
I accessed router using 192.168.0.1 and I found.
DHCP is enabled at the router and IP range defined is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.110.
What should be the IP range so that I can assign it manually for domain controller?
Initially I assigned 192.168.0.111 with default gateway 192.168.0.120 and primary DNS 192.168.0.1 and secondary DNS 8.8.8.8 but no Internet access.
I hope I explained my question well.

Host: Windows 1809(latest stable), autohotkey v1.1.30.03(latest stable, but this probrem is at least from v1.1.29.00 afaik)
Guest: All (I confirmed Fedora Workstation 28, 29 and ubuntu 18.04.2. GUI and CLI)
Workstation 15 Player and Pro
I have my autohotkey script:
XButton1::MButton
This changes mouse button 4 (back navigation on browsers) to mouse middle button.
It works fine and doesn't work in VM, of course.
The probrem happens when I push mouse button 4 on any host's application such as firefox with still having focus on Workstation Player window.
If I launch autohotkey script first, windows focus is stuck on clicked window. Kill autohotkey and click mouse button 4 on stucked windows to fix.
If I launch Workstation Player first, mouse button 4 click is ignored and nothing happens. Though other mouse buttons work: change windows focus and perform click.
Launch order matters and I call this "conflict".
This conflict doesn't happen in VirtualBox and I reported here.
Both on Workstation 15 Player and Pro.
The VM is not necessarily on GUI. After Ctrl+alt on CLI mode to back to host, this probrem happens.
Whether VMware Tools is installed doesn't matter.
Running autohotkey as administrator doesn't matter.
It seems like autohotkey cannot recognize the mouse button 4 press and I couldn't solve this probrem with autohotkey script though I tried variables, conditions and sending keys, etc.
My mouse has no vendor specific driver: uses Windows default driver.
Autohotkeyscript like:
XButton1::a
to change mouse button 4 to key 'a', doesn't work too.
Autohotkey is a very common automation tool.
Please fix this problem!
Thank you for reading this.
