I have just replaced my MacBook with a new one and after the time machine restore, everything works fine except in my virtual machine library, all my virtual machines have 'not found' under them so I cannot use them. I have created a virtual machines folder in my documents and copied all the files from my old MacBook's virtual Machines folder into them but still no joy.
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks
We are using EMC RecoverPoint Replication (CRR) to replicate our main set of datastores to a remote site, and utilizing VMware SRM 6.5 to run failover/failback. To protect 30 datastores through CG, created 10 consistency group in Recoverpoint and each of them with three or four LUNs. The strange problem is when we are going to create Protection Group in SRM, we suffer from the mismatch between the number of CG in Recoverpoint and the number of CGs seen in Protection Group wizard in SRM. To make it clear, in this step, we could see and selected only 5 CGs which is not match to the number of CGs in RecoverPoint. One of the CGs has comprised 12 datastores and mixed them together, and it would be strange!.
Furthermore, after this stage, if I create new CG in RecoverPoint and add numbers of datastores to it, there is no problem and I can see it correctly in SRM Protection Group wizard!
What are the problems or possible cases I have to check?
If there is any idea or best practices to design CGs in Recoverpoint, please share it.
Hi,
We are going to migrate our existing VMware infrastructure from DELL Servers with EMC SAN (vSphere 6.0) to HP Servers with HP SAN (vSphere 6.5).
Consultant suggests the migration of VMs to make use of VMware Convertor as it costs the least money.
Is there any free tools for migration ? Besides downtime, is there any other pitfall for using VMware Convertor ?
Thanks

Hello. I am attempting to bring a VM from a environment to a hard drive to boot off of. Any solution from cloning/mounting a VMDK to a hdd?
... Just to say that it works surprisingly well, in Fusion 10.1.2 (and probably also in 8.5.10): it's also rather snappy (on a 2013 MacBook Pro); and HiDPI works out of the box, after installing the Tools.
Only one major glitch: some persistent visual artifacts in the menu extras, in the Finder tabs and in Dashboard, both in normal and dark mode...

Hello, I'm trying to launch VMWare Remote Console 10 from the command line given a vmrc url to use but I want the virtual machine to start in full screen mode. Currently, the remote virtual machine starts in windowed mode and you have to press the Fullscreen button on the menu. There is also the option of using a keystroke to go into fullscreen which is "Ctrl+Alt+Enter" (or "Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Enter" if the Shift preference is set). I know in the older versions of Remote Console there was a command line parameter that could be used to start the machine in fullscreen mode but I have not been able to find anything like that with this version.
Here is the command I'm using to launch the Remote Console 10 and connect to a remote virtual machine:
"C:/Program Files (x86)/VMware/VMware Remote Console/vmrc.exe" vmrc://clone:cst-524a37be-0534-578b-bbc3-b50712a60577--tp-B1-C9-2E-0C-9D-81-3E-D7-7C-B7-C9-60-7F-8E-51-F0-DD-06-3E-30@10.10.28.12/?moid=4
Here is the old command for an older version of remote console that launches in fullscren:
"c:/VMRC/vmware-vmrc.exe" -u root -p password@210 -h 10.10.28.14 -X "[Datastore 1] Test VM.vmx"
You will notice the -X flag indicates to start in full screen mode. I'm looking for an option similar to that with the new version of VMWare Remote Console 10. Any information is helpful.
I received an email this afternoon letting me know that my company was accepted into the Skyline program. I followed the instructions and deployed the appliance without issue.
When I try to link my "my.vmware.com" account with Skyline, it says that my account is not entitled. Can you please help me get entitled? We've been looking forward to testing out this feature.
The email was sent to my email address: carceneaux@thinksis.com and our EA number is: 115133220
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Currently i have a IPSEC VPN set up on a NSX edge (6.2.8) which is up and working. There are issues with connections dropping when sending large amounts of data.
I want to see if changing the MTU size will help, on older versions of NSX edges (or VFM edges) you could edit this setting via the IPSEC config itself. However this option has now gone.
I can see when you pull the config via XML that the setting is still there but showing as 'null'
"mtu" : null,
Does anyone know why this has changed or how the MTU settings now work for VPNs? Is it changeable but only via the API for example?
Thanks
Been working with the new version of VMWare Remote Console 10. I have worked with a very old version before and they used to have a preferences.ini file that could be used to customize the experience of the remote console. In this preferences file you could do many thing like: hide tool tips, hide the top menu, etc. This link (sanbarrow.com ) provided a ton of useful entries that could be used in the preferences.ini file. My question, does anyone know if this preferences.ini file still works and takes effect with the new version of VMWare Remote Console 10? I have looked around the site but couldn't find anything regarding this file. I've also played around with some old ini files I had and doesn't seem like all the entries are working like they used to. Please advise. Thanks
Hi,
we discovered an error in a customer environment which is reproducable in our LAB which is completely fresh installed.
We use a clean Windows7 x64 VM, fully patched with Horizon View 7.4 Agent and AppVolumes 2.14.
Single Appstack, only Firefox 60.0.2 64bit German Version.
Clean User Profile, no Profile Management solution for testing
Starting Firefox works fine - open, browse, close.
Open again/browse/close works fine for several times. But if you open some tabs, stop using firefox for some minutes and close it, it won't open again.
Firefox is on the newest Version, so no update in the background.
-Safe-mode :not working
-deleting FireFox Profile :not working
-same behavior with View Agent 7.3.2, AppVolumes Agent 2.13.3, old AppVolumes Template.
-Copying the FireFox program directory to c:\temp and start FireFox from there works fine
Any Idea how to find out whats going on here ?
Is there a possibility to debug the AppVolumes driver ?
Jens

I'm currently running vRO/vRA 7.3.1. I've created a blueprint in vRA which has been nice, but I'd like to do more with it. I have some PowerShell scripts that I'd like to setup as a workflow in vRO and then have them as a blueprint somehow in vRA (if possible) so anybody on my team or in the company if needed could just click and run a script. I have created a PowerShell machine (2k12 R2) that has PowerShell 5.1 on it. I've run the New-VICredentialStoreItem on there for a particular vCenter to test with. Below is the code I'm using for the script:
$creds = Get-VICredentialStoreItem -File C:\vicredentials.xml
Connect-VIServer -Server $creds.Host -User $creds.User -Password $creds.Password
$log = Read-Host "Enter log name i.e. VRM.txt"
$GetVM = Get-VM -location VRM | sort Name
$GuestCredential = Get-Credential #Provide Guest OS credentials
$obj = foreach ($vm in $GetVM)
{
$string = "query user /server:$vm"
Invoke-VMScript -vm $vm -ScriptText $string -ScriptType Powershell -GuestCredential $GuestCredential | Format-List | Out-File $log -append
Basically I'd like to setup a workflow somehow to just list the particular vCenter this would apply to, then ask the user for the name of the log file they want and then have it pass that into the script. They would also pass the credentials for the machines (a service account, or maybe that's in the workflow, but hidden somehow). The script would run and somehow (I'm not sure if this is possible in vRO/vRA) the file is created and the user can access it somehow after vRA has completed it.. Perhaps I create a share they can get to that the script puts it there. I tried looking around on google for this, but whatever I tried really didn't work, so I'm stuck. I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but since this is the simplest script I have I want to try it first before moving onto ones that require more input from the user. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Receiving a 504 error when attempting to add vcenter. I receive the following message:
Http failure response for https://sr-skyline.primed.com/api/v1/manage/endpoint?auto=false: 504 Gateway Time-out
I have a vcenter server with windows 2008 and there were some snapshot which were deleted, after removing them I realized that the vcenter connects and disconnects randomly
Trying to register my vCenter servers with the Skyline systems and I receive the following error:
Http failure response for https://10.80.24.123/api/v1/manage/endpoint?auto=false: 504 Gateway Time-out
10.80.24.123 is the Skyline appliance
If I browse to the URL I receive the following JSON message:
{"type":"unknown","message":"HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed"}
After deleting all end points for a vCenter, I now cannot re-add that vCenter.
Error message is: An attempt has been made to add an endpoint that has already been added.
