Start-up problem
I have been using VM Fusion for years - currently running Fusion 7 with Yosemite on a macbook pro. Just yesterday when I go to use Fusion it does not get past the start-up screen (the black screen that says starting Windows 7). Any ideas on what the problem may be would be great.Would upgrading to Fusion 8 be necessary to make it work?

Re: How do I get VMTools for Windows 95, 98, and 98SE?
SVGA was supported for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows 95 VMs (I will just call Windows 9x VMs) as far back as VMWare Workstation 4.5.2. I do not know about earlier as that was the first version I owned.
I am able to bring up each of the VMs. The problem is that with the Windows 9x VMs, after bringing the VMs up, I cannot install VMTools. I get the message:
"VMware Tools for Windows 95, 98, ME, and NT - version 7.7.0
Error: Install of VMware Tools for Windows 95, 98, Me, and NT failed. Contact VMWare Support or your system administrator."
Since this is a personal system, I am my system administrator. Apparently by default, VMPlayer no longer includes or can access the VMware Tools for Windows 9x VMs. How do I get the tools? All my VMs have internet access and I am able to get to MSN and Google (tested those two locations) so I know it is working. The version of browser does only support old versions of HTML.
Is it possible to download older versions of VMPlayer that still support the Windows 9x VMs?
Is it possible to run VMWare Workstation 5.5.1 or 4.5.2 on Windows 7?
Does the current version, VMware Worstation Player 12 provide full support for Windows 9x VMs including the full set of VMware Tools?
Does the current version of VMWare Workstation Pro provide full support for Windows 9x VMs including the full set of VMware Tools?
Is there a site I can download the tools for Windows 9x VMs? I know there is a KB telling how to manually install the tools using Command shell once they are downloaded, I just cannot remember it at the moment.
I just want to be able to play my old games.

Re: vRealize Automation install fails
I run into this same issue installing vRA 6.2, installation would fail at DB creation. Issue turned out to be not a DB permission, it was name resolution. Ensure that your vRA appliance and IaaS server are able to successful resolve both forward and reverse lookup of each other's hostname and FQDN. You can try putting them in hosts file but you already have a AD-I DNS just point them to your domain controller after you've created the required A records. Let me know if this works. If not please share the install logs.

Disabling lockdown mode solved "Cannot create a ramdisk of size" incompatibility in update manager 5.5 U2
Hi,
Wanted to share with you a problem i faced today when trying to upgrade ESXi 5.5 U2 using VMware Update Manager 5.5 U2:
- Servers are (Cisco UCS B200 M3), I download the latest custom ESXi image from my.vmware.com.
- After that I imported the ISO image to Update Manger and attached the baseline to the cluster.
- Upon scanning the hosts 5 out of 6 were shown as incompatible, which is illogical cause all of the servers are identical.
- Tried recreating\changing the scratch partition and even checked that all configuration is identical using host profiles but no luck.
- Checked users permissions on vCenter, Update Manager & ESXi hosts, nothing there!
- I started searching for other solutions then found this article (Update Manager Error: Cannot create a ramdisk | v(e)Xpertise) which solved my problem
In my opinion the error message is confusing and the cause "lockdown mode" has nothing to do with scratch partition.
Hope in future versions the error description is replaced with a more meaningful message.

Re: VMware ESXi 5.5 U2 - TcpAckFrequency
The slow upload issue hasn't been fixed in ESXi 6.0.0.
I have tested this on Exchange 2013 CU9 with win2k12 r2 on ESXi 6.0.0 and removing the following vmware tools features fixes the slow upload issue:

Re: Revert to Snapshot
Ilian Iliev has already mentioned why what you are suggesting can be problematic; it is technically possible to have more than one VM in inventory with the same name. I don't remember if it's a requirement that snapshot names be unique within given VM, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it is not.
If you feel comfortable that your organization's policies guarantee unique names, then what you are asking can of course be done. You probably would want to build some exception handling logic into this workflow so that if a search for a VM or snapshot by name results in more than one of each being returned, it returns some kind of friendly error message to the user and doesn't take any additional action. They can then bring it to your attention.
Maybe something like this? This code will accept a VM name as a string and a snapshot name as a string, and then search inventory for them. As long as there is exactly 1 VM with that name and that VM has exactly 1 snapshot with that name, it will return the VC:VirtualMachineSnapshot object, which you could then pass into any other workflow you like that accepts that as an input.
var vmName = 'MyVM';
var snapName = 'MyVM_snapshot';
var xpath = "xpath:name='" + vmName + "'";
var vms = VcPlugin.getAllVirtualMachines(null, xpath);
if(vms.length === 0) { throw "No VMs found with that name."; }
else if (vms.length > 1) { throw "More than one VM found with that name."; }
var vm = vms[0];
System.log("Found VM named '" + vm.name + "'");
var allSnapsOfVm = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.snapshot").getAllSnapshotsOfVM(vm);
if (allSnapsOfVm.length === 0) { throw "VM '" + vm.name + "' does not have any snapshots outstanding."; }
var countOfSnapsWithSameName = 0;
var snapIndexToReturn;
for (var k in allSnapsOfVm) {
if (allSnapsOfVm[k].name === snapName) { countOfSnapsWithSameName++; snapIndexToReturn = k; }
}
if (countOfSnapsWithSameName > 1) { throw "More than one snapshot with that name found on VM '" + vm.name + "'";
}
else if (countOfSnapsWithSameName === 0) { throw "No snapshots with name '" + snapName + "' found on VM '" + vm.name + "'";
}
else { return allSnapsOfVm[snapIndexToReturn];

Re: extend vm disk and extend disk in windows workflow
This is kind of a difficult problem, because vCO/vRO has no reliable way to correlate virtual disks attached to a VM with the disks that show up inside Windows. As far as I'm aware, the only way to accomplish this programmatically is to compare disk sizes—and if you have two disks that are the same size, or if you are splitting virtual disks into multiple partitions, then it becomes even tougher.
If you are content to have the workflow accept a VC:VirtualDisk object as the input (meaning the operator would have to identify the right virtual disk), then you could concievably:
- Have the workflow inspect the sizes of all the storage devices inside the guest with PowerShell or WMI
- Grow the virtual disk in vSphere
- Rescan the storage inside the guest, and get the new sizes of all the disks inside the guest
- Compare the before and after, and use the differences to identify which disk was grown
- Grow the file system on the disk that was identified in step 4

Unable to create tenant as Infrastructure admin on vRA 6.2
Newbie vRA user here, just testing it out for possible deployment into production.
As a bit of a "backgrounder":
-I've installed the IaaS component using a domain admin account and vRA identity source is pointed to an SSO on an embedded PSC
-Default tenant is vsphere.local
-I can create a tenant using the administrator@vsphere.local but not the domain account I use to install vRA, or the account I added as infrastructure admin for vsphere.local tenant
My questions are:
-Are the aforementioned the correct/expected behavior? It doesn't make sense to me that I'm not able to designate an infra admin that can create tenants other than the default SSO admin account (identity store is pointed to my domain and the domain admin is added to the SSO local administrators group)
-When I try to create reservations (type : virtual - vSphere) the other tenants I created are not showing under the 'Tenant' dropdown, only thing showing is the vsphere.local (am I missing something here?)
-Under 'Compute Resource' dropdown I'm not able to see resource pools, only the cluster resource. Is this also normal? No option to designate resource pool as compute resource?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: VM internet access when host is connecting via a mobile hotspot?
Hi Faize,
It's possible for VM to use host's Wifi connection when the host is connected to a Wifi.
Please try the steps below:
1. You may set the VM network to bridge mode. (click VM -> Settings -> Choose network adapter -> set connection to bridged)
2. Open the virtual network editor via Edit -> Virtual Network Editor, choose VMnet0, change the "Bridge to" dropdown list to your Wifi card.
Then VM should be able to use the host's Wifi network.
Thanks!
