Please help to download for vCentre 5.5 server

I'm currently setting up Horizon 7 on Windows 2012 R2 server (German version), and everything seems to work perfectly.

However, the Dashboard complaints about the replication status of the two connection servers.

Error Message:

"Replikationsstatus des Verbindungsservers konnte nicht abgerufen werden"

Translation: "Replication status could not be retrieved"

After checking the log files it looks like a translation issue to me, because replication works as expected, i.e. no errors

repadmin.exe /showrepl vmview-cs02:389 /csv

What I found in the debug logfile is:

Did someone already experience such an issue, and has a solution?

Just asking here in the communities prior to opening a support case!

I just received an e-mail from VMware tech support, telling me that 8.5 is coming... no word on whether or not it in fact fixes the issue that stopped me from using it (black screen when wake-from-sleep even with VMware quit/not running).

Any news if this fixes it?

ESXi 5.5 3568722

I have installed an AMD FirePro W2100

I have successfully passed it through to a Server 2008 R2 VM

The video drivers for the card have installed perfectly.  I can see the video card in the Device Manager

However, I cannot get the VM to use the GPU - it wants to use the VMWare SVGA 3D

I disable SVGA - then lose my screen

I then RDP into the VM and can see the screen but Windows only indicates that the video card is running on an RDP channel

How can I determine if the VM is actually using the GPU

I am receiving this error when trying to setup a protection group for single vms.

I have verified all connections ok and Time is synced across all devices.

Is there something I am missing ? I have configured one single vm for replication , but when I try to create protection group under site recovery it states it cannot connect to production site.

I recent upgrade my kernel on RHEL 6 to the latest 2.6.32-642 from RedHat.  I can no longer run vmware.

the error message at the end of the log is:  W115:  failed to build vmnet.  Failed to execute the build command

I have kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed.

the only other error I see in the log is relating to /lib/modules/kernelversion/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h  

utsrelease.h exists, but not under generated/

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I have vcenter running on a Server 2012 R2 VM and I am trying to use Certificate Manager to replace the vCenter cert with one from my microsoft CA by following this process:

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2112277

I choose option 1, enter the administrator@vshere.local credentials, but then I get the following:

Performing operation on distributed setup, Please provide valid Infrastructure Server IP.

My PSC is integrated so I'm not quite sure what distributed setup would mean. I've tried entering the IP of my vCenter server but when I complete the steps no files are generated.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

I have an issue with my VMware Horizon environment.  Im trying to provision more linked clones but the task never completes.  I get the provision error View Composer Fault: VC operation exceeded the task timeout limit of 90 mins set by the View Composer..

Im wondering if its a database issue or a connection is being blocked through our McAfee HIPS/AV software.

I have tried provisioning pools on different esxi hosts and get the same result. The error that is listed in my VPXD log is:

error vpxd[20748] [Originator@6876 sub=SoapAdapter.HTTPService] Failed to read request; stream: <io_obj p:0x0000000007abfc48,

My viewcomposer log lists a FATAL error:

| FATAL | CommonLib.VcSubsystem.VcUtil - VC connection exception. Will try to reconnect.

VMware.Sim.CommonLib.Exception.SimVcConnectionException: Error in the application.

Has anybody encountered this issue?  The only thing that was changed was a reinstall of vCenter Server due to an expired evaluation license.  After the new installation of vCenter I noticed two things changed that was different than the original installation:

I am running vCenter and Composer on the same server and using SQL Server on a separate server for the Composer/Events.

Versions:

vCenter 6

View Administrator 7

View Composer 7

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Is it possible to create VMware VRO client MSI? If someone has done before, please share the steps.

Guys,

After updating to RHEL 6.8 64bit (2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64), Workstation is unable to start.  We get the "unable to start services" error. 

How would you all advise to fix this?  The log is attached.

Thanks!

For some reason, I'm getting the following error off-and-on as I work with VCO.  It happens when I call the openSession action in a workflow that is use Powershell in.

Receive timed out (Dynamic Script Module name : openSession#52994)

The error seems to go away after awhile, but it always comes back.  I've searched a number of places for the solution and I'm baffled. 

I'm pretty confident the error is only within VCO or the plugin because if I remote into the Powershell host from another machine using Powershell, I connect without issues.

My powershell host is setup using WSMan, Kerberos, and SSL with a hard-coded domain account username and password.  The domain account is a local admin on the powershell host.

When I remote in from another machine to test, I use:

Enter-PSSession -Computername vcohost.domain.com -Authentication Kerberos -Usessl -Credential (Get-Credential)

Anyone ever run into this?

This is a small PS script I am trying to use to add servers to DNS as they are built. When I call the script from my PS server it runs with no errors.

[CmdletBinding()]

Param(

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=1)]

    [string]$nHost,

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$True,Position=2)]

    [string]$nIP

)

$vcUser = "basspro\svcvra"

$cred = New-Object –TypeName "System.Management.Automation.PSCredential" –ArgumentList $vcUser, (Get-Content ||UNC PATH\password.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString)

$session = new-pssession -computername XXXXXXX -credential $cred

Enter-PSSession -session $session

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {dnscmd XXXXXXt /recordadd basspro.net $args[0] A $args[1]} -ArgumentList ($nHost, $nIP) -Session $session

exit-pssession

Remove-PSSession -Session $session

However, when I call the script from vRO I get an error regarding the password being NULL.  Below is the error that vRO throws.  I have verified that the arguement variables are correct.  When I take that variable and paste it into the PS script on the PS server like this:  .\ADDDNS.ps1 servername IP

When I copy all the hard disks of VM named "1", it copies all the disk to destination folder named "2" in datastore named "Data", the below command works:-

Get-HardDisk -VM 1 | Copy-HardDisk "[Data] 2/"

Hi all,

I believe this may be unique.

Customer needs to replace existing UCS Server but "NEW" UCS server cannot be brought on the Network at all.  Long story, but unfortunately it must use the same network address and physical space as existing UCS Server.

Datastore and storage is local.

What is the best option to migrate to the new host.  Would it make since to VMotion to a network space and than once new server is up online, Vmotion back.

Any Best Practices here?

Thanks,

Ron

Hi,

is it possible to change the vRealize Automation Status Details message when a vCO workflow that is called via vRA advanced services ends successfully?

I would like to include some vCO output parameters to vRA instead of just "Status Details = The request was successfully completed" (print screen 01.png)

If defining your error code it gets included in the Status Details when the WF fails (print screen 02.png)

thanks

Hello all,

I am trying to find out whether this is a rights issue or this is way it supposed to work.

In vROPS, I am trying to generate Horizon VDI Desktop Session Statistics report. (HOME -> Content -> Horizon VDI Desktop Session Statistics).

Right now, I am only be able to pick 1 session at a time to generate this report.  Is there way to select all sessions listed under (VDI Desktop Session) to generate a report?

Thanks in advance..

Wongo

Hi,

I have one cluster with 2 nodes  CPU capacity per host is 2*2,94 GHZ. Recource allocation shows 5641 MHZ. Why not 2*2.94*2 ?

Host summary

Thank you
