Re: How to disable VM time synchronization via the API

I tested and found that vCD will pick up the change from vSphere, so parts of the recommendation in that article are sufficient.


Re: Error trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10?

It matters because it tells me about the build you're trying to use. My 64 bit ISO's all say x64 in the filename.

 

Have you considered using a newer one, or do you need this exact build?

 

Apparently MS pulled this build and replaced it with newer ones, currently at 1703 for the 'Creators Update'.

 

You can grab them from here:

Hello msripada

 

thank you for your feedback.

 

Yes we are using a Lenovo ServeRAID M5210 (LSI) but with the ESXi-6.5 customized Lenovo version. So this should not be a problem, I guess?

 

Thank you and reagards

How long does it take to deploy VCetner HA

I just invoked the HA deployment wizard on my 6.5 VCA, and it immediately dropped off the network.  Does anyone know how log I should expect to wait for it to become active again, or has something gone wrong?

Re: Resource actions on machines deployed using a hidden service (tShirt sizing).

We were able to get this working in 7.2.

 

Basically place the base blueprint in a service they are entitled to, but inactive. The service doesn't show up in their catalog, but they can still access the actions on the hidden blueprint.

 

Not sure if this will work with other versions.

Re: update vmware tools status

You can use the Get-Task cmdlet to check the status of these background tasks.

 

You could do something like this

 

$id=Get-VM-Name (Get-Contentvms.txt) |Update-Tools-NoReboot-RunAsync

$t=Get-Task-Id$id.Id

while($t.State -contains'running'){

    sleep5

    $t=Get-Task-Id$id.Id

}

 

$t|Select @{N='VM';E={Get-View$_.ObjectId -PropertyName|select-ExpandPropertyName}},

    StartTime,

    FinishTime,

    State,

    PercentComplete

 

REST vmdaemon

The first option in the list when you open it in swagger is daemon and you can turn it on/off

 

Except you can't.

 

possible state values are "on" / "off"

 

So I just enter "off" (without the quotes) and press "Try it"

 

Always get back:

Response Body

{ "Code": 6, "Message": "Content type not supported" }

Response Code

406

Response Headers

{
  "access-control-allow-origin": "*",
  "content-type": "application/vnd.vmware.vmw.rest-v1+json",
  "date": "Tue, 18 Jul 2017 21:29:29 GMT",
  "content-length": "59"
}

I tried on/off/1/0/true/false/OFF

with quotes / without.

So that appears not to work.

I can see the vmdaemon running in activity monitor.

 

Next question is... what does it do? AFAIK vmdaemon is new.

I think I saw mentioned by William that the REST interface originally comes from AppCatalyst.

Is there some doc about the interface?

I really need to keep all the info, users & settings from the windows 7 machine?

Hi,

 

The name itself should not matter, but I do get a feeling that your iso file is corrupt.


Can you open it in Finder? Eg. control-click and then "Open With" -> DiskImageMounter

 

That should open the iso file you are having trouble with in the guest OS in VMware Fusion and should display in Finder all files on that dvd image.

Eg. you should see things like "Setup"

 

If that works and you get to see the files as normal, then I am not sure what the problem is, without getting more technical details.

So in that case, please attach a vmware.log from your VM to the next reply.

Re: safe mode

I, too, had the same or similar problem. A USR 5637 USB modem would not dial out, or otherwise respond to the guest OS after upgrading to ESXi 6.5. Querying the modem in device manager returned a message saying the modem was not responding. I reverted to the old driver on the host, and now the USB modem works fine inside the guest OS.

Please check the firmware and if any latest driver available as the lsi_mr3 is showing aborts which is not a good sign.

Host of VSAN WItness Appliance inside cluster

Is it supported to have the VSAN witness appliance run on a third ESXi host where the third ESXi host is part of (but does not contribute storage to) a 2-node cluster and the VSAN witness appliance's storage is on the local third ESXi's host storage?

 

I'm trying to set up SBD with Pacemaker and I need to create a virtual disk that three VMs on the three hosts have access to (2 hosts are big and the third host is a witness-only node).


Converting Sierra DMG image to a Fusion vm

$

Hi there,

 

I created a dev environment on a 15" macbook pro partition running Sierra 10.12.5 and imaged it in Disk utility to produce a DMG. I would like to take this constructed image and convert it to something I can boot as needed on a VMWare fusion instance, as well as have the ability to send it up to our ESXi 6.0 server. I created the DMG through Disk Utility as many other guides I found suggested, but was unsuccessful in finding a practical way to convert this DMG over to a VMDK that I could then boot.

 

I had attempted to convert (by following https://superuser.com/questions/479548/converting-dmg-to-vmdk) to vmdk on the command line using "./vmware-rawdiskCreator print /dev/disk2", but no matter what, I get a "Unable to scan the partition table of "/dev/disk2".

 

Has anyone succeeded in converting a mac DMG image to a functional Fusion VM on macOS Sierra? I have poured through the guides and google but have so far come up empty. Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks!

From the events, it shows the below file does not exists or cannot read

 

Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/vmware/applmgmt/statsmonitor_health.xml

 

can you enable a putty session or login to shell of VCSA

 

cd /var/vmware/applmgmt/

 

execute the "ls -lah" command and check if the file exists statsmonitor_health.xml and also check the size of the file

 

Please copy the output of ls -lah

 

Thanks,

MS

VMware Horizon Client Mac version 4.3.0 - command key activates Start Menu

$
0

Hi Horizon Community,

 

This has been driving me crazy for months:  I have the Mac Horizon client version 4.3.0.  My View Desktop is a Windows Server 2008 R2 VM.  Everytime I command + tab away from Horizon to another app on my Mac, when I command + tab back to the Horizon client, the Windows Start Menu has been activated, it has popped up and stolen focus from what I was working on.  This happens 10, 20 or more times a day, it's maddening.  I looked in the Horizon client preferences and I can't see a way to unmap this command key to Start Menu key.

 

Does anyone know how to unmap the Mac command key from the Windows Start Menu key?

 

VMware please fix this!!

 

Thanks!
