I'm getting an error for this that states

 

"Couldn't upload data to the REST endpoint. HTTP status line: 400, Bad Request"


Copy-Paste on MOJAVE

$

Hi,

 

I am a fresh-user for VMware. I search a lot on a specific topic, but I could find neither a question nor any answer.

 

My problem is Copy-Paste. I am able to achieve copy-paste from guest to host, and from guest to guest. However, I somehow cannot make copy paste from host to host (between Mac folders)

 

I am a Mac-Os user as host. Virtual engine uses Win 10. This question could be a silly one.Please accept my excuses to take your time.

vobd shows the VM crash happening

 

It shows an APD on the NFS storage well before the crash itself, maybe about an hour before:

I would like to know how to get vmware tools version from a Linux VM that can be found in a file.  I am trying to output the vmware tools version into IBM BigFix without the need to run the "vmware-toolbox-cmd -v" command.  Is the vmtools version listed somewhere in a file in a Linux VM?

Windows 10 Template Fails; Windows Could not Finish Configuring the System

$

I have a windows 10 template, installed the Guest Agent and have a cert.pem.  The guest agent service is running and all the logs look fine, comparing it to another working template and it looks similar.

 

When I request this Windows 10 template from vRA, the allocation succeeds but the provisioning was taking a while. I went to the vCenter and could see the new windows 10 machine. When opening the console I notices an 'Install Windows' box, with "Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer".

 

On vRA, when the machine eventually fails, it says Timeout Customizing Machine

 

Am I missing something, why would this be happening?

Any help greatly appreciated, Thanks

vDS Configuration Issue

I am trying to add/move vmnic0 from a standard switch to an already existing vDS that has vmnic1 attached.  Everything is good until it tries to add vmnic0 (see attached code screenshot).  I believe it has something do with the highlighted section.  It is creating an array, but for some reason the second pnicSpec is not defined and throws the error below.  I am able to do one vmnic at a time so it seems like I have to define that array for 2 pnicSpec's and I'm unsure how to go about it.  @iiliev any ideas?

 

 

TypeError: Cannot set property "pnicDevice" of undefined to "vmnic0"

vROps API and Postman - multiple vm's

$

Using Postman.... is it possible to pass multiple vm's when making an API call to:

                     -find the resourceID's and only return the resourceID

                     -pass in the resourceID's to show the property "summary|parentvcenter" for each vm

 

Use case: We need to know the parent vcenter for 100 vm's located across multiple vcenters and multiple vROps instances via the API.... I know powershell will work, but what about Postman?  Thanks.

 

E.g.,

 

https://vrops/suite-api/api/resources?resourceKind=virtualmachine&name=server1,server2,server3=resourceID

 

Then

VDI and Excel

We are running Horizon 7.x with windows 7 VMs.   On these, there is office 365 proplus 2016 64 bit.   Our biggest complaint we get is that excel is very laggy /crashes all the time. The SAN these are on is SSD, and there is plenty of RAM / CPU for each VM.   I am at my wits end.   Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get excel functioning in a usable state for end users?  Any help is appreciated

MacBook Pro Touch Bar function keys always displayed

With Fusion 11.0.2 (macOS 10.13.6) on a MacBook Pro 2017, I have the Touch Bar set to display function keys (F1, F2, etc.).

 

This is a problem because it is hard to use the top row of regular keys without accidentally brushing a function key on the Touch Bar, thus activating an unwanted function.

 

How can I set it so I have to press the Function key (Fn) to show the function keys instead?

 

Thank you,

RCP con Host USB Devies

Hola.

 

Estoy intentando mediante RCP conectar un UBS Model a una VM. 

He configurado los parametros de local device and resourcesde la maquina fisica

He configurado gpo tanto de la maquina fisica

 

Remote Desktop Connection Client \ RemoteFX USB Device Redirection \ All RDP Redirection (Enable)

Remote Desktop Session Host \ Remote Session Environment \ RemoteFX for Windows Server 2008 R2 \ Configure RemoteFX (Enable)

Remote Desktop Session Host \ Connections \ Allow users to connect remotely using Remote Desktop Services (Enable)

Remote Desktop Session Host \ Device and Resource Redirection\ Do not allow supported Plug and Play device redirection (Disable)

gpupdate /force in elevated CMD Prompt and reboot

 

 

Pero nada de nada.

 

Solo ejecutando la VM mediante Workstation o VMware Remote Console , conectando el dispositivo manualmente a la VM, he podido activar el Host usb Device para el model.

 

Mi pregunta seria,

 

Se podria configurar el RCP o la VM para que al conectar el Model automáticamente se puede activar el Host usb Device sin utilizar aplicaciones de terceros o agregando el dispositivo USB apor ejemplo usb redirector?

 

Ha se me olvidaba indicar. Tambien realize la prueba modificando el fichero .vmx, colocando los parametros del USB manualmente, pero nada de nada.

 

Gracias de antemano y felices Fiestas

New Horizon 7 Server and 25 new machines have error

$

One out of 25 clients have the error in Horizon connector "View Connection Server communication error".  I have set this one up with a static ip and dhcp. It states that it is connected and provides the screen of which IP to log into. When I do this, that is when the error arrives. To show error on the client it has Firmware of 5.4.1 installed.  Currently I put in a static ip and tried to use the ping utility that keeps sending to different IP's but the response stays at 0. The machine can be pinged from other machines with no errors.  I have also placed this in other network jacks that have working WYSE boxes attached and the same messages appear. Anyone have suggestions on fixing ?

Thanks

ESXi670-201811001 - is this to be applied AFTER 6.7 U1 (build 10302608)?

Hi all.  Quick question.  We're upgrading from 6.0 U2 ESXi hosts to 6.7 U1.

 

Just wanted to confirm that this is a POST 6.7U1 patch (given 6.7U1 went GA in mid October and this patch was released Nov 9).

 

VMware ESXi 6.7, Patch Release ESXi670-201811001

 

So... upgrade 6.0 U2 hosts >>> 6.7 U1 >>> then apply ESXi670-201811001 as final step for hosts.  All caught up?  Thanks!

VirtualMachine.Network0.Name custom property assigns network but VM does not get IP assigned

$

To start out, thank you for taking the time to read this post.

 

I'm using vRA 7.4 and attempting to allow a user provision a VM and allowing them to select a network via a dropdown on a blueprint. I have several networks defined in vRA, which have pools of IPs associated with them. These networks are tied to specific business groups.

 

vRA_network profiles.PNG

 

vRA_reservations.PNG

 

All of the network configuration in vRA seems to be working as expected. I've created a custom property VirtualMachine.Network0.Name which populates a dropdown using the vRO action com.vmware.vra.networks\getApplicableNetworks.

vRA_Custom_Property.PNG

 

This appears to work, in at least its populating the dropdown with the appropriate networks. (there are a few extra networks shown in the image below. This is expected as image capture was with an admin user)

vRA blueprint.PNG

 

The issue I'm seeing is that when the VM is provisioned it does receive the appropriate network (as shown below) but the client does not get configured with the IP address allocated from the pool. instead, it just clones the address from the template.

Is there another step I'm missing to actually assign the allocated IP information the VM itself?

Whats the most important spec when running VMs on a NAS box?

$

I want to buy a NAS box for a home lab. Either QNAP or Synology or any of the other low end brands. I'll connect it to an ESXi server using iSCSI.

What is the one  spec I should be looking for, so I would have adequate speed when running the VMs on the NAS?

 

So far I was looking for "iSCSI write to target" speeds here

Is this the spec I should be looking for? I won't have many VMs. Maybe 10 or 15, and they won't be really writing all the time.

 

So what's important when running VMs on a NAS? What's the most important spec I should be looking for?


Remote Desktop Connection not working

Having a weird problem with the Remote Desktop Connection client.  If I delete the users writable profile then the RDP client works like normal and allows you to enter your credentials to connect.  The next time the users logs in and opens the RDP client you are not able to enter any credentials.  I attached the screenshot.  I tried to exclude the MSTSC.exe process from the snapvol.cfg file but no luck.

 

Any other ideas?
