I created a very simple app stack with no spaces or unusual characters in the name.
I opened a command prompt as local admin and typed SVSERVICE.EXE ATTACH appstackname
It tries to connect but the attach fails. Any idea why?
I really want to use this as a demo by tomorrow so I would appreciate any help the forum can provide
I've been poking around the development documentation, working on a workflow that schedules another workflow to be executed at specified time/dates. I've got things somewhat functional, but have some ideas for improvements that I'm trying to implement.
I came across an example in the Developers Guide that shows how to specify the name of a scheduled workflow at creation by using the special '__taskName' parameter which works as expected. I'm curious, are there other special underscore parameters that I can use for more control over the scheduled workflows I create via javascript? I attempted to use '__taskDescription', hoping to be able to write a descriptive description but that didn't appear to work.
Are there other underscore parameters similar to __taskName? I don't see anything in the developer guide other than this one lone example.
looking for suggestion in limiting Snapshots on vCenter level in the process of deploying the cloud (private). on VM and host level we have settings to change in config.module.
so, please suggest me on vCenter level.
team,
we have deployed nsx-t 2.1 but it dashboard showing all transport node down status, what could be the reason?
Currently, I have a network printer which has been setup thru UEM printer mapping. I set that to be the default printer.
Everything works great once the user gets a new linked clone VM.
The issue I am running into is when we introduce local printer. When local printer is connected directly to the physical machine then
inside the VM, the local printer becomes the default printer instead and network printer.
Of course, if we remove the local printer then network printer is becomes default again.
Help assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
We have a strange behaviour in one of our vCenters (6.0 U3d on Windows 2012R2 server).
When manually starting a vMotion migration, the option "Change host" is greyed out with the mesage "vMotion is not enabled on the host of the Virtual Machine". But vMotion IS enabled on the host... and correctly configured... and licensed... and it works if DRS needs to do a migration!
My workaround is to disable vMotion on the host on the relevant VMKernel interface and enable it again, then it works for some hours or so... until it returns to the above error message.
Someone else described the exact same thing here (without solution, just the same workaround):
Information Sharing: Fixing the error "vMotion is not enabled on the host of the Virtual Machine"
- This happens on all (ca. 8) clusters in the datacenter
- It affects all VMs on the host
- It only affects a host as "vMotion source" (migrating off the host), the same host works if it is the vMotion target ;-)
- A host that was a "target" of a vMotion, suddenly also works for outgoing vMotions...
I might be wrong, but I vaguely link the problem to an incident where we accidentally exceeded the Hosts per Cluster Configuration Maximum (64 hosts). The cluster had 66 or 67 hosts before we split it in two clusters... (that Configration Maximum is not a hardcoded limit...! ).
Now I just tried it with the HTML5 Client (Fling) and the phenomenon is not present there! So it's a vSphere Client (C#) only problem?
Hello
I'm beginner in vmware administration.
I have instaled a ubuntu server on a esxi 5.5.
I try to disbable the dhcp of the ubuntu vm to affect a static adress.
I read some web page about this problem. but for me it's don't fix it.
If you have any idea, I'm interressed

Does anyone know if it's normal for VSAN: Initializing SSD: to take a very long time? It takes at least 10 minutes when the host is rebooted to get through this step.
I have a Windows 2012 R2 file server with about 2TB plus of data on it. My question is... can users work on the server during the virtualization process?
hello, in my lab I've 3 ESXi 6.5U1 and a VCSA 6.5U1 with vsan enabled.
Each host have 4 1gb NICs and 2 10gb NICs.
Currently I have:
1 (per host) 1gb NIC connected to a gigabit switch for management
1 (per host) 1gb NIC connected to a gigabit switch for DMZ VMs with public IPs (4 VLANs)
1 (per host) 1gb NIC connected to a gigabit switch fo NAS backup and logs
1 (per host) 10gb NIC connected to a 10gb switch for vSAN traffic
the 3 gigabit switch are connected to a different port of a firewall that provides internet access for management (with VPN), for public web and mail servers on DMZ and for alerts on NAS boxes.
the 10gb switch (DELL X4012) is isolated, because I don't have a 10gb port on firewall and I think vsan subnet doesn't need internet access.
Now I wish to create a LAN with 10 clients and a server in a different VLAN called OFFICE. Because I've enable DRS, vsphere dynamically moves VMs from a host to another host (or in case of failure) and it is impossible to have all VMs of VLAN OFFICE that stay on a single host, I need to connect these VMs on physical switch that is the most fast possible.
My idea is to use the last 10gb NIC of each host as VM portgroup for VLAN OFFICE, but I also need that clients and server could access to internet.
Because the 10gb switch has only 10gb SFP+ ports and I have another 1gb NIC free of each host, is it possible to create a vDS (or 3 standard vswitch) that have both 10gb and 1gb uplink to 2 different physical switch not connected each other (one 10gb only and one 10/100/1000mb only) where put the OFFICE portgroup ??
and I'll wish to have for VMs in VLAN OFFICE:
1) intra-lan VMs communication using 10gb physical switch
2) internet access, network printer, access point and so on outside vsphere cluster using gigabit switch
thank you in advanced for any help
Hey all,
We are going to upgrade to 7.1 to 7.4 so we can get support for the latest windows 10 builds. We are on a pretty vanilla build and everything is done by the book.
Has anyone had any issues with 7.4 on Windows 7?
The plan is simple:
Update composer
Update internal connection server
Update external connection server
Update security server
Update parent VM with new agent
Set pools to recompose at log off
Anyone see any problems with this plan?
In my dev environment there haven't been any issues with the 7.1 agents running on the 7.4 back end, the longest this would be like this in production is 4 days.
Once this is done i can bash my head against the wall with Windows 10
We recently upgraded to 7.4 and we have about a dozen pools.
We started seeing that several VM's are in error state. The pools are set to refresh on log out and some of these pools will no longer refresh.
After the user logs out we get this event:
Refit operation refresh failed
And the VM has an error state of:
Invalid powerstate: The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state (Powered off).
If you power up the VM via vCenter it powers up just fine and seems to work complete the refresh without error.
Digging through the composer logs does not give any additional error beyond the invalid powerstate.
The only KB I could find was not relevant as i checked the DB and did not have multiple entries: VMware Knowledge Base
Even if I do a full recompose of the pool (using the existing snapshot), the recompose works fine but refreshes still after log off.
I am importing a virtual machine and the following message
How can this be solved?
Thank you
Hi,
I have a requirement to ask the user if they want to go with previously configured things or want to create a new one. I want to show one boolean property to user to choose the option and if the value is no, I want to show another propery to enter the inputs for new configuration.
I saw this is done in the initial vsphere configuration xaas blueprint. Can this be done in the blueprints other than xaas blueprints?
Thanks,
Isha
Folks,
We have a Windows 10 Surface Book Pro that we are attempting to P2V.
We are using the stand-alone client and after the process completes we go to startup the machine it keeps looping on the Automatic Repair with no resolution.
Please advise.
Thanks.

I have a workflow as XAAS blueprint. I want to attach this to another blueprint and use the vm provisioned details to perform some actions.
Is it possible to access the properties without using the Event Broker?
Hi,
we are using Horizon 7.3.2 and PowerCLI 10.0.0.0 (before 6.5.4 but with same results).
I just want to disable several pools and don't want to go through the admin console, because this will take a lot of time.
So I used the command "Set-HVPool -PoolName "1531-28" -Disable", but I got the following error:
Exception calling "Desktop_Update" with "3" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidArgument
ErrorMessage : Invalid value for member
ParameterName : automatedDesktopData.vmNamingSettings.patternNamingSettings.namingPattern"

+ $desktop_helper.Desktop_Update($services,$item,$updates)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : VimException
Maybe the hv.helper has an issue, so I tried the same with the direct API approach, with the more or less same result:
Script (without the Connect-HV and other basic stuff):
function Get-MapEntry {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$Key,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$Value
)
$update = New-Object VMware.Hv.MapEntry
$update.key = $key
$update.value = $value
return $update
}
$Pools = Get-HVQueryResult -EntityType DesktopSummaryView
foreach($desktop in $Pools)
{
if($desktop.DesktopSummaryData.Source -eq "VIEW_COMPOSER" -and $desktop.DesktopSummaryData.Name -eq '1531-28')
{
$updates = Get-MapEntry -Key "desktopSettings.enabled" -Value $false
$disablePool = $viewapi.Desktop.Desktop_Update($desktop.Id, $updates)
}
}
Result:
Exception calling "Desktop_Update" with "2" argument(s): "ExceptionType : VMware.Hv.InvalidArgument

Can someone help me here?
Hallo,
ich arbeite mit VM WS 12.5.9. Als Host habe ich ein Notebbook mit Windows 10 1607. Seit kurzem habe ich mit meinen virtuellen Maschinen folgendes Problem:
Wenn ich USB Sticks oder z.b. eine Kartenleser in einer VM nützen will, dann kann ich die Geräte als „removable Devices“ auswählen um sie mit der VM zu verbinden. Allerdings werden diese dann nicht als „connected“ angezeigt. Will ich sie ein zweites mal verbinden, dann erhalte ich per Dialog die Fehlermeldung „unkwon error“. Nach ca. 60sec. bekomme ich eine Fehlermeldung, das die diese Gerät nicht verbunden werden konnte "Driver error".
Egal was ich versuche, es bleibt bei dem Verhalten. An den Maschinen liegt es nicht. Unter einem WIN7 Host gibt es damit keine Probleme. Die USB Geräte funktionieren auf dem HOST auch einwandfrei.
Wenn ich VM WS deinstalliere und neu installiere, dann funktioniert alles einwandfrei. Allerdings nur bis zum nächsten Host Neustart. Dann ist der Fehler wieder da.
Sieht also so aus als würde WIN10 irgendwelche VM-Ware Treiber austauschen.
Ich habe mal eine Logfile angehängt. Die Maschine habe ich nur gestartet und dann ein bis zwei mal versucht einen USB stick zu verbidnen. Das Logfile ist voll von Fehlermeldungen. Ich kann damit allerdings nicht viel anfangen.
Hat diese Probleme noch jemand? Wäre schön, wenn jemand einen Tip für mich hätte.
MFG
