Modified computer

I have replaced the motherboard in my computer and now have solid state drive.

I still have the old HD installed in the machine as the F drive.

I can load the VMPlayer but it doesn't find the virtual machine or the SW I had on it.

What do I need to do to get going again?


Horizon View 7.4 "USB Redirection is not available for this desktop"

$

Hey,

We've in the process of upgrading to Horizon View 7.4 but are having intermittent issues with USB Redirection not pulling through.

 

The error in the Horizon client just says "USB Redirection is not available for this desktop". Weirdly half the time it works and half of the time it does not, even from the same underlying client.
Impacts multiple users from multiple desktops.

Horizon client 4.7.0

Windows 7 underlying and VDI

GPO set to Automatically Connect on Startup and When Inserted

 

Never happens on older version of Horizon View (6.x), which is still our production environment. Not sure if relevant but another oddity we see is that if a USB device is plugged in during start up, and redirection is working, the USB device installs itself on every login even when drivers are available. This is another thing that never used to happen on older version of Horizon.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Pete

Deploying OVA fails

Hello.

 

I am trying to install owncloud on my VMware ESXi. I click on deploy OVA, then drag it onto the area it says to, then next, I agree to the terms then it says do not vlose window whilst it deploys. The file uploads fine to the server.

 

 

In the Tasks area it says importing VApp, with the progress bar, however the progress bar sits at 0%. I gave it 45 minutes last night before giving up and tried again this morning from scratch and gave it 1,5 hours. Still nothing that progress bar does nothing.

 

Can anyone offer any hints as to what I could try next?

I can see that the keyboard setting "Use all F1, F2, etc.keysas standardfunction keys" isn't avaliable in the guest machines' System Preferences. Is it not possible to make the "special keys" work in a VMware Fusion Mac guest VM?

Few days ago,  I set the vmware not to be started when os started.  Now, when I started vmware, all the menu items are greyed.

I checked the services, all the services started normally.    What shall I do to make the menu items usable?

How can I stop action to execute when i start a workflow

$

Hi all,

 

I'm working in a workflow to connect or deconnect a ISO file to CDROM.

If the CDROM is connected to iso, I hide the disconnect section and show just the connection section.

If the CDROM is disconnected from ISO, I hide the connection section and show just the disconnected section.

My deal now is ,When I execute the workflow, I want to not execute an action linked to a string variable in presentatiobn menu who list all reportery and file in a datastore ISO

Once I run the workflow, It take some second because of the execution of the action.

 

I want to execute this action only when I choose to connect the CDROM to iso file.

Any  idea

Thanks

Failed to Setup Trunk Between VMware ESXi 6.5 and HP Switch 5130 EI Series

$

Hi All,

 

I find difficulty when setup trunk between VMware ESXi and HP Switch 5130 Ei series. In my mind, when setup ESXi and Cisco switch this only simple thing, just setup trunk mode on switch port, and allow some VLANs, and voila it will work immediately.

 

In this case, I have ESXi host connected to 2 HP Switches (stacked already) with 8 cables/wires (4 wires per switch). In vSwtich (using standard vswitch), in NIC teaming, we setup to "Route based on IP Hash" like below:

 

 

in HP Switch, we setup BAGG (maybe something like etherchanel or LACP in Cisco),

 

Here is ss of BAGG group: Aggregation Mode Static

 

 

In Bridge Aggregation we setup trunk, and setup PVID 182 (this is vlan of ESXi host). Then, we allow all vlans to pass.

 

 

we also setup VLAN 182 in VMware ESXi DCUI.

 


But in the end, we still can not ping the ESXi host.

 

Many questions here:

 

- Please correct if you see something wrong with our configuration?

- Does VMware standard vswitch support BAGG (LACP) mode in HP switch?

- Does LACP support stacked physical switch?

 

Please support to figure out my problem. if you need any additional info we are happy to share.

 

any information will be very appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Azlan Syah

Horizon 7.7

CentOs 7 1611

 

The master image joined to MS AD domain by sssd, all fine.

 

Then i read this:article to configure true SSO:

Configure True SSO on RHEL/CentOS 7.x Desktops

 

Then i create Floating Automated pool. When pool created, I see customizing status and then error:

Instant Clone agent initialization state error (1): failed (waited 10 seconds)

 

In AD, i see that objects are created.

 

I cant reed log /var/log/vmware/viewagent-ngvc.log, because the VM is very fast rebooting.

Any ideas?

Is this configuration supported?

All VMs Start with Black Screen

$

Recently moved all my VMs from Host Win7-64bit to Win8-64bit.

Fresh install of Player v 5.0.2 build-1031769

Computer is Acer Aspire M Intel i5 @ 1.8Ghz

Graphics is Intel HD 4000

 

When any of the various VMs are started from the Powered Off state, the player window will open and a big black screen will appear where the guest display should be shown. The guest OS does indeed boot, right up to the login screen although with no display visible. If I try to click on the close button in the upper right corner, I get a dialog box that says "The Virtual Machine is Busy". My only option is to end the vmplayer.exe task using task manager. Once I do that, the VM shows state as Powered On in the Library. If I Play it the 2nd time, the VM will resume operating correctly with the proper display at the immediate point where I expected it to be when I ended the vmplayer.exe task earlier.

Presence or absence of Tools in Guest does not affect the problem.

 

All 3 of my VMs have the exact same behavior. Guest operating Systems are: WinXP-SP3-32bit, Win7-64bit built from the VMware Converter, and Server 2008 from the MS eval ISO.

 

Any ideas? Once the play/end task/play sequence is performed the VM works correctly. Until it is shutdown or hibernated. A VM restart does not exhibit this symptom. The problem is reproducible with all VMs every time.

 

Provided vmx for the XP VM and a few logs.

Thanks in advance. I'm so close to having this work it's even more frustrating than if it didn't work at all.

Hello,

 

Failed to deploy vCenter HA Cluster (vcenter 6.5.0 Build 5318154) with the following error:

 

"A general system error occured: Failed to start HACore profile on node 192.168.18.22" (192.168.18.22 is the IP address for the witness server filled up during the configuration wizard)

 

We tried the below with no luck:

  1. Power off and delete the Passive and Witness nodes.
  2. Log in to the Active node by using SSH or via Direct Console.
  3. Log in as the root user and enable the Bash shell: # shell
  4. Run the following command to remove the vCenter HA configuration: # destroy-vcha -f
  5. Reboot the Active node: # reboot
  6. Wait until the Active node is back online and start vCenter HA cluster configuration again

 

The following is the status of services from our vcenter:

 

Also there is a ping from our vcenter appliance to the above IP address:

 

 

Please advise,

My ESXi hosts (6.5) keeps ballooning it's RAM even with half my guests powered off

$

Hi,

 

I have a 4 x ESXi hosts that suddenly started to Balloon it's HOST RAM. The the main hosts have 512GB RAM each.

The one hosts has 40 logical processort running 23 guests. If powerd down some of the guests leaving me with

arround 13 active guests, the server still balloons the RAM.

 

If I look at the RAM usage per guest it is arround 200GB. that is with 23 guests running.

The system swap file has it's own datastore location. when the ussage of a host increases it causes several of my guests

to stop responding and I need to do a hard reboot

 

What bothers me also it that if I go to view the settings it shows in red and I have to select another location firs.

Is this normal.

 

I am running VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 10884925 and the guest OS on servers are mainly Windows 2012.

 

Your help would be appreciated

Failed to get disks while trying to restore single files on Linux

Hi,

 

I'm trying to restore single files from VDP backup of linux machines (vSphere Data Protection Linux File Level Restore - VMware vSphere Blog).

 

Everything is at the most recent release. When I try to mount the backup in the flash client (https://VDP_APPLIANCE:8543/flr) I get this error:

Failed to get disks: Failed to determine the partition type. Verify that all the disks on the VM have valid/supported partitions 

 

I tried with nodes with various disk structures, but the error is always the same:

VDP manual says that at least ext4 (first try) should be supported. By the way, is it possible that XFS (the default RedHat filesystem) is not supported at all?

 

Thank you very much!
