Hi there,
I'm using vmware on my macbook pro to run windows 7. When I'm doing this I use a second monitor for the virtual machine, and keep mac on the actual laptop screen. But, whenever I click from one screen to another, the resolution on the second monitor changes. Any help? Most of the discussions I was looking at were discussing using the virtual machine on two monitors, rather than on a separate one...
Thanks!
As I am new to scripting and PowerCLI, currently running ESXi 5.1, looking to upgrade to 6. I have installed PowerCLI 6.3 R2 and I'm interested in the following books:
VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference Publication Date: March 25, 2011
PowerCLI Essentials. Paperback – April 25, 2016
Are these books still usable with the newer version of PowerCLI or will the examples and commands need modifications? Any information would be helpful.
Thank you!
Estimados Buen Día,
Hoy quisiera me aconsejen una decisión de licenciamiento para una infraestructura Horizon View, a continuación el panorama:
40 escritorio, son de carga baja, netamente ofimaticos y se implementaran con VSAN
Opción 1
Licenciar Horizon edición Standard + VSAN
Opción 2
Licenciar Horizon edición Advanced.
Yo me inclino por la Opción 2, que opinan ustedes?
Por otra parte si selecciono la Opción 1 cual seria el criterio de selección de la edición de VSAN.
De antemano gracias por su tiempo, colaboración y su conocimiento.
Saludos,
Hi all
I really could do with some help. I've got the below script which I found and modified to suit what I'm trying to achieve but it isn't outputting the info in an expected way. I'm trying to put generic VM info, plus VM info exposed through extensiondata, then get that eventually into a CSV but I've really hit a road block. My sample code is below but I'm sure there has to be a better way, especially where there are multiple objects returned like harddisks, datastores etc the formatting is broken and I'm at my knowledge limit. Thank you in advance.
$result = @()
$VMS = Get-VM "vmname"
ForEach($VM in $VMS){
$VMVirtualDisk = Get-VM $VM | Get-HardDisk
$NetworkAdapters = Get-NetworkAdapter -vm $vm
$SCSIControllers = Get-ScsiController -vm $vm
$DataStores = get-vm $vm | get-datastore
$obj = new-object psobject
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name VM_Name -Value $vm.ExtensionData.Name
$obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name CPUSocket -Value $vm.ExtensionData.config.hardware.NumCPU

Hi,
I am having the following errors in the vRA 7
I have followed the solutions that are found online
However, I am still getting the same error. In the IaaS Server logs, this error was captured:
The MSDTC transaction manager was unable to pull the transaction from the source transaction manager due to communication problems. Possible causes are: a firewall is present and it doesn't have an exception for the MSDTC process, the two machines cannot find each other by their NetBIOS names, or the support for network transactions is not enabled for one of the two transaction managers. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D02B)
I have downloaded the DTCPing and both the servers are able to communicate with each other. Firewall has been turned off on both servers.
These servers are not joined to domain and all access are configured on the DNS server.
Appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks!
Hi everybody
I have installed the vSphere Data Protection 6.1 and since few days the backup of a VM is "crash-consistent". The other VMs don't have this problem and all the backups are "application-consistent".
What is the meaning of this type of backup?
What can I do to solve this issue?
Thx in advance, sincerely Omar
Hi Guru,
I was using ReconfigVM_Task to reconfigure my vm, this task will be running in the background but frequently it could be exception at once, but I was not been informed in the console,
I wish I can print such as what type exception in the console, do you know how I should do? many thanks
Simon
hello
VDR backup is failing with following error messages, could you tell me what would be the wrong
We checked shared path, all are working fine,
12/8/2014 9:33:33 AM: Can't save "Config10.bak", error -1001 ( unexpected operating system error)
12/8/2014 4:21:28 AM: Trouble writing to destination, error -1001 ( unexpected operating system error)
unable to find article related to error 1001
Dears, In my POC environment requirement is to create snapshots on several times on multiple VMs in a months and also removal, so wondering if someone can help me with the script to automate the task - snapshot creation/deletion on multiple servers with preferred Name and description, and should omit Virtual Memory. thanks.
hi Team,
I would like to generate a report with the datastore details (Capacity, Used, Free space) along with the VI servers.
Can you please help me on it.

Hi Everyone
We are experiencing inventory search issue with few of our vCenters, We are unable to search objects (VMs,Hosts,Datastors, etc) in the VMware inventory. Let me quickly give you the background and the troubleshooting steps that we have followed. Unfortunately, still we are unable to fix this issue and hope you can help and advise us to fix this issue.
We are managing large scale VMware environment and we are using separate vCenters for each and every sites to manage the VM environment. I would like to remind you that we are experiencing the same issue with all the vCenters. When we are using the vSphere Client. But search function is working fine with the Webclient. And all our environment is based on vSphere 5.5.
Once we search a VM or any other object in the inventory it throws the below error message
I did a google search and tried every possible answers and could not find any answer to fix this.
I found the below KB article and it was not able to give me what I expected and issue not resolved. Also changed the vCenter default time out settings.
Once We type the username and password manually without selecting the "Windows Authentication" we are getting the below error message , also we tried this with the vCenter Local account and gave the same error message.
I have escalated this to the VMware support and they mentioned that this is an error with the vCenter "Proxy XML" file and vCenter re-installation is required to fix this. As we are managing a large environment and lots of teams are using the vCenter we are not able to go for a re-build.
I really appreciate if you can assist me to find a solution for this search issue.
We have three separate VMware SQL 2016 AlwaysOn clusters running on vShere 5.1. We noticed on all three clusters whenever we'd fail over a Availability Group to a second node within the same VLAN and running
on the same ESX host, that the resources would not become available until a 15 minute time-out period. If we fail over the same AG group to a host in another building the resources are immediately available.
This only happens on the same VLAN. So we opened a ticket with Microsoft and they ran a trace and stated the arp request is being sent out but no replies are being returned. Is this a vSphere issue?
Where in the process does VMware update the arp table?
Hi All,
In non-nutanix environment VRA blueprint is "Clone deployment". A dedicated template cluster holds all the templates. The template host can see all the clusters i.e. template host cluster can see all the LUN's of all the clusters in that environment. So it was one template type( win 2012, win 2008) per vCenter.
In nutanix environment how to achieve one template per vCenter. In Nutanix there is no "LUN" which can see all the clusters. Does it mean each cluster will have templates. Can VRA copy template from one cluster to any other cluster.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
Does anyone here on this forum by any chance have the Application Migration XML for Office 2010 to Office 2013 migration? For 2007 to 2010 is provided, but since it is rather general I thought to ask if someone already made them and is inclined to share.
Thanks,
Maarten
Hi,
I'm trying to get vRA 7.1 and Infoblox plugin 4.0 with WAPI to work.
I have followed the docs included with the plugin from infoblox and everthing is fine up to creating the endpoint for Infoblox in vRA.
In infoblox we have a specific user which have permission to register/release hostrecords on one specific /24 network. The WAPI connection is successful in the logs.
On vRA 6.2 we had to trail and error to get the permissions right for that user.
As i understand, now you have to create Network Profiles i vRA, and when i do this i can choose my Infoblox endpoint ive created.
On the tab "Network Ranges" the field "Address Space" is empty and when i try to +Add - "Select Network Range" i see errors in the infoblox workflow "Get IP Ranges".
IPAM Provider Error: {"code":3000,"message":"An error has occurred while searching for networks. Detail: Result set too large (> 1000) (Workflow:Get IP Ranges / Fill Networks (item2)#10)"} (Dynamic Script Module name : throwIpamError#28)
What caught my eye was "Result set too large (> 1000)".
After that...
I have created my blueprint with a server and a "existing network", then attached the network profile i created.
I have selected on server blueprint under the network tab i choose my network profile, can choose both static or dhcp assignment type.
Under reservations i have attached my network profile to the network path.
So... does anyone know how to narrow down the search for that specific network?
Or have any idea on permissions needed in infoblox for "Address Spaces" and "Get IP Ranges"?
Can you filter in the custom properties in the endpoint maybe, infrastructure/endpoint/enpoints/infoblox-> custom properties?
The documentation ive found is so thin on this...
In vRA 6.2.3 we used the infoblox plugin 3.1.0 and did the exact same thing but we just pointed at the infoblox workflow "Reserve an IP in Network for vCAC VM" etc.
Maybe im missing something so clear i cant see it myself :(
Any idea what could be wrong is appriciated or direction to take.
I dont know if this forum is the right place but... ill give it a shoot.
Btw im just a vmware-admin and does not manage infoblox directly.
If in the end i need to call the support, do i call vmware or infoblox? :D
Included some screenshots.
/Best regards

- what are the steps for upgrade ?
thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,
.
I have some problem with VDP. I have successfully run the backup job manually but the speed is too slow as it elapsed for 5 hour but progress bytes is just 66.8GB.
I don't understand the reason why did it is so slow like this. I have check the storage's hardware already and it's all fine.
I also try copy the file from VM to the storage directly and it's really fast like 1GB per 1.5min
Thank for answer in advanced.
In my inventory understand there are some free (unused) LUNs which I would like to be make a list with any automation magic, I request please someone please help with my trick which would help me to find out all the Unused LUNs, equally I'm also looking for orphaned VMDKs in Datastore, please suggest on it. Thank you so much in Advance.
We have had a critical VM go down due to it being inaccessible to its datastore. We have a cloned backup which we have brought into production but this is not as up to date as it should be (so a massive lesson learnt there).
I have tried a number of different troubleshooting steps with vSphere Client re-scanning all the stoarge adapters and checking connective and and adapter connectivity to our SAN iscsi appliance. I have ran the following command line comand:
"esxcli storage core device list"
The below disk has either become unmounted or corrupted in some as to make it inaccessible to the datastore.

esxcli storage filesystem mount naa.6006016046c03c0027a38f5648ae56f2
I not the most experienced with vmware in general and certainly not wioth the command cli commands so any help getting this drive available withits existing data still in tacked would be greatly appreicated.
