Hi folks,
I am not able to copy/paste anything in one of my guest vms, while other vms are working fine. I am using vmware workstation 14 Pro.
I have tried re installing vmtools many times, even uninstall and reinstall completely, tried guest isolation options check mark/ un check, but doenst work. also, tried repairing VMware workstation host also.
I am interested to see in logs, if i could find some clue why only 1 vm is affected, any idea how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello everybody,
I'm System integration and under my responsibility have many companies, I have multiple ESXI vCenter servers, in past six mounts we had upgrade near to 30 hosts and we also upgrade VMs from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2016 VMs.
the thing is windows server 2016 VMs they react very slow and it's feels laggy, in the same host i have 2008 R2 vm installed and it's react very fast and working good......
and it's not performance issue at all, cause i monitored the performance of host and also of all vm's, and i find there is more than 50% of resources available all the time.
to me it's seems to be a specific issue with server 2016.
Does anyone of you encounter with this issue?
I would glad to get some help from you
Thanks.
I'm testing vcloud 10.0.0. after the ovf deploy I'm able to connect to 5480 but here I see the msg
No nodes found in cluster, this likely means PostgreSQL is not running on this node. Consult the management UI from another node where PostgreSQL is running. Otherwise, check /opt/vmware/var/log/vcd/vcd_ova_ui_app.log if you think this is an error.
And I'm not able to connect to the admin portal.
On the NFS server I exported the shared directory, with the no_root_squash method. I did it adding the following line to the /etc/exports file:
192.x.y.z/nfsshare vCD_Cell1_IP_Address(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
make vieo driver for windows 3.1
I'm able to use Fusion 11.5 to connect to vCenter (ESX 6.7). When I use remote control a VM I lost focus to the VM. Nothing is responding. When I close the remote control and will open the VM again I get a dark grey black screen. Same issue with remote control in Chrome to vCenter. Then it will opens fusion and I've te same issue. When I use VMware Remote Console instead of Fusion also the same issue.
I close Fusion and start Fusion again, connect to vCenter and open a VM no problem. After a few minutes remote control freeze. I stil can see the VM but cannot select or do anything inside the VM.
Quit Fusion en start Fusion again. Issue is since upgrading Fusion to 11.5 and macOS to Catalina (10.15).
Please help

Hi,
I want to configure & schedule VCSA 6.5 backup via vRealize Orchestrator or PowerCLI script. In VCSA 6.7, VMware has added functionality to schedule backup of vCenter servers, however in VCSA 6.5 this is missing.
http://www.vmwarebits.com/vcenterbackup
In above link "RobBastiaansen" has provided way to configure via vRealize orchestrator. However, I am not sure if someone has tested or validated this.
Please assist me in configuring automated backup of VCSA that can be copied over network via SCP.
So solved one issue, got vmnet 1 and 8 back, however the bridge service will not install.
OS = windows Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362

When I try and manually add the service "Change Adapter Settings" comes up with a
I have followed many old solutions like ensuring all DLL's are in in the system32 folder and manually installing the bridge protocol which the eventvwr shows as successful, but still no joy.
if anyone has seen this and has a solution it would be appreciated.
Mac Os Catalina 10.15.1 and Fusion 11.5.0 have caused Fusion to not ask the question of what to do with USB devices. Mac or Windows? How do I correct this problem as I have USB devices that must connect to Windows?
Hi,
I need to get Maximum, Minimum and Average CPU & Memory usage per cluster. For a specific amount of time. for example a week. Currently I am using this:
foreach($vmHost in Get-VMHost){
$hoststat = "" | Select HostName, MemMax, MemAvg, MemMin, CPUMax, CPUAvg, CPUMin
$hoststat.HostName = $vmHost.name
$statcpu = Get-Stat -Entity ($vmHost)-start (get-date).AddDays(-7) -Finish (Get-Date)-MaxSamples 100 -stat cpu.usage.average
$statmem = Get-Stat -Entity ($vmHost)-start (get-date).AddDays(-7) -Finish (Get-Date)-MaxSamples 100 -stat mem.usage.average$cpu = $statcpu | Measure-Object -Property value -Average -Maximum -Minimum
$mem = $statmem | Measure-Object -Property value -Average -Maximum -Minimum
$hoststat.CPUMax = $cpu.Maximum
$hoststat.CPUAvg = $cpu.Average
$hoststat.CPUMin = $cpu.Minimum
$hoststat.MemMax = $mem.Maximum
$hoststat.MemAvg = $mem.Average
$hoststat.MemMin = $mem.Minimum
$allhosts += $hoststat
}
$allhosts | Select HostName, MemMax, MemAvg, MemMin, CPUMax, CPUAvg, CPUMin | Export-Csv $outputfile -noTypeInformation
This though gives me the information I want, per host, not per cluster.
How can I get this information per cluster?
Thanks
Hello folks.
As I am testing and becoming more familiar with vSAN (i've been testing/playing in a lab environment) I have a question regarding implementing vSAN on an existing infrastructure.
For testing purposes, I have a two node cluster with local storage.
I have vCenter running virtualized on one of my ESXi nodes. vSAN is currently not running or configured (on purpose for testing).
Now, as I prep to enable vSAN on these two nodes, my only real question is do I lose my data/vm's on those local drives? (I have two dedicated drives that will act as the caching drives for each esxi node.)
i ask because, vcenter is virtual and has a lot of configs (networking, admin etc.) so my concern is do I lose that VM and all the configurations on it? (I could probably back it up, need to research).
For the VM's that currently exist on the nodes, I am ok with losing them with the vcenter server being the exception (its the virtual appliance btw).
Anyway, I hope I explained that well.
Appreciate the help.

Is it possible to use VXRail with Proactive HA? Proactive HA with Dell normally requires Openmanage, but I didn't think Openmanage was available for VXRail.
Could someone provide some direction or documentation?
Thanks!
I'd like to understand if there is a way to automatically fail over to another VM on another machine in case of an *unexpected* machine crash or power outage. It needs to include the state of the machine. Choices I've found:
Does anyone know if unexpected migrations can be supported; and if so, any pointers to (clear) documentation?
Thanks.
I apoligise if this is in the incorrect place.
I looking for a little help
I have setup esxi on a host (128gb ram) 2cpu(10cores each) hyperthreaded i currently have 4 vm's setup on this in a evaluation.
i have also setup vCenter as i want to run Veeam backup solutions.
Do i need a licence for esxi Host & vCenter licence? if so which vCenter licence would you buy?
I am a total novice at this but been told Vmware is the future.
Thank you

I have an open ticket with VMWare. They are stumped! We have vm's that are disconnecting because the host is causing all the guest o flap the VSEPLFT from connected to disconnected... If I could somehow script :
/etc/init.d/vShield-Endpoint-Mux start/stop/restart
Via PowerCLI to run on all hosts in a cluster that would be great! I am having some difficulty today searching, and running out of ideas I have tested a few different ideas with no success.
Hi all,
I understand vRA 8 is very much in its beginnings, but figured it was worth a shot asking this with some of the other brave pioneers with the arrows in their backs out there.
I deployed a simple vRA 8 environment in my lab and I'm trying to apply a new certificate to it. I added a wildcard certificate (with a proper public suffix) to LCM Locker, and the PEM I imported passed validations. I used this certificate to update the LCM instance itself, as well as the IDM instance with no issue. For the IDM instance I used the LCM workflow. I then tried to apply the certificate to the vRA environment via LCM but received the following error:
com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.common.exception.EngineException: Failed to install vRA Certificate on hostname : testvra.lab.net
at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.plugin.core.vra80.task.VraVaInstallCertificateTask.execute(VraVaInstallCertificateTask.java:135)
at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.plugin.core.vra80.task.VraVaInstallCertificateTask.retry(VraVaInstallCertificateTask.java:220)
at com.vmware.vrealize.lcm.automata.core.TaskThread.run(TaskThread.java:43)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
Did some digging and it appears the LCM workflow copies the PEM over to the /tmp directory on the vRA appliance and runs a command similar to:
vracli certificate ingress --set /tmp/lcm-cert.pem --sha256 {value}
I tried running this command while SSH'ed into the vRA appliance and got the following error:
Certificate with sha256 sum: {value} have errors in section 'v3_extensions'["Unable to parse certifcate's ['v3_extensions']['critical'] section. "
Popped open the cert and didn't see anything unusual:
I've tried a couple other things such as deleting the critical section, creating a dedicated cert instead of a wildcard, and changing the hashing algorithm but to no effect. I'm thinking that this error might be a red herring, but not sure.
Figured I'd ask to see if anyone else had any issues with theirs. If I stumble upon the answer, I'll update my thread.
I'm running Fusion 11.5 (14634996) with Catalina build from the App store.
The install process hangs when I select 'Install macOS' and press Continue. I've let it sit overnight so I'm pretty sure it's not doing anything.
The VM is set for macOS 10.15. Based upon review of other posts... the mouse and keyboard are set to the macOS profile.
The last few lines from the install log are attached.
Any help getting this installed would be appreciated
Hello,
When starting a VM in Workstation I get an error message as shown below:
When I go into sound settings in Virtual Machine Settings I see 'Connected' un-ticked and 'Connect at power on' ticked. If I tick the connected tick-box, click OK and go back to the guest I then have sound. I have tried in three different Linux guests and the same thing happens.

I'm running version 6.0.1.8619 of the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
I have Stereo Mix enabled as shown below:
Please can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance
A few of my colleagues have been on VMWare ESXi training in the last few years and one of the things they brought back is that we should disable SSH. While the trainers seem to be fairly clear on this as a policy none of my colleagues thought to ask why as it's not something that we have needed to use, until now.
As such, my question is, are there any real security concerns regarding allowing SSH access (over and above the other forms of access) or is it just a matter of if we are not using it then we shouldn't leave an extra surface to to attack.
Thanks,
Sam
