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
Hi all,
I need your advise about one case :
I have upgraded a vcenter 5.5 to 6.5 U2 VCSA.
Since these steps, I meet strange issues with authentication on Veeam server, backups & replications works & randomly I get this strange error on some halft of jobs :
SOAP connection is not available. Connection ID: [srv.DOMAIN].
Failed to create NFC download stream. NFC path: [nfc://conn:srv.DOMAIN,nfchost:host-10,stg:datastore-11@SRV:srv.vmx].
Soap fault. Detail: '', endpoint: ''
I opened a case with Veeam, they said there is some issues with network, we checheck network everything is Ok.
I think it could be related on psc .
Has someone already identifiy where the issue could be located ?
I have seen this link about Vcenter limitation http://andyandthevms.com/vcenter-connection-limitation-and-backup-in-big-environments/
As backups jobs are many in same time.
Thanks for your feedback
Hello,
I need some help and advise how can I install a Radeon Pro Vega 64 driver on my iMac Pro VMware Fusion Professional Version 10.1.2 (8502123) with Windows 10 Pro virtual machine.
Thank you
Hi,
I don't understand why, when I connect from the horizon client or from a wyse, the keyboard led is not lit while the numlock is active (I can enter numbers with the numeric keypad).
Another information: when I connect from the vsphere client to the same VM, I do not have this behavior.
Does anyone know why ?
Do you have any idea ?
- VMWare Horizon version : 7.4.0
- Agent view version: 7.4.0
- Windows 10 version : 1709
Thank you in advance.
PS : I'm French so my English isn't very good
I have a ovf file.
Import to vSphere 6 is OK. Not any issue.
Import to vSphere 6.5 is OK, But have a issue.
The ovf file have two disk. ( 17.7 GB and 250 GB )
After import, the VM have only one disk.
How is this going？
I am experiencing a new option <None> in drop-down and Yes/No field of vRA 7.3.1 after migrating the environment from 6.2.5.
I want to remove this option so that only pre-defined list of variables gets filled without <None>.
Hello All,
I installed the Cisco UCS Plugin version 1.0.2 on my VC (Version 5.5.0.2001466), the Cisco Installer Tool told me that it is successful installed. When I open the Web Client the Plugin are not visible at the Home Tab.
Any Ideas how I can use the Plugin?
Thanks

Hi,
I made a big mistake : i didn't read the realease note about vrops 6.7. So i upgraded, and after few days, as everything works as it should, i removed the snapshoot.
But i didn't check very well about my capacity planning and the automation in VM placement.
Now, i'm in 6.7, this new version offers some good ehancement, but how to do the capacity planning ?
I used to have Cluster policy according 80% or 50% [DRP cluster] of the usable capacity. But now, the capacity usable is stuck to 100%.
The HA and buffer disapperead. Now, if i listen to VROPS, my clusters are well optmized, but i know that it's not the case. The acceptable limit for running VM is near, but vrops tell me , no problem.
I also use Turbonomic which tell me to add Hosts in cluster.
So how do you do ?
I need to provide a simple KPI to the management to monitore if investement are needed. Now, i'm unable to do it
Hi,
We have a Dell Compellent SC2020 storage array. It has 2 fault domains with 2 targets in 2 different subnets. The host has 4 iiscsi network adapters (1Gb) and is connected through 2 dedicated iscsi switches. I am bit confused how this should be configured in VMware. I understand that when I use 2 network adapters I can create a 1:1 connection with the array using both subnets and not use iscsi port binding. This would separate traffic to both the fault domains going through it dedicated switch.
If I have just 1 array fault domain I could simply put all adapters in the same subnet, stack both switches and use network port binding. But with this model I have to use 2 fault domains.
Now the question is how you hookup all 4 host network adapters. Do you somehow make 2 x 2 pairs in each subnet? If so do you somehow use port binding or not.
Thanks

Hello.
I have VMs using VMware Tools version 10272 which the VMware ESXi, 6.5.0, 5310538 Host considers Current.
Doing a Scan for Updates using VMware Tools Upgrade to Match Host (Predefined) shows the VMs as Compliant and the options under the VMs to Upgrade VMware Tools are grayed out. VM version is 11
On another VM I have a VMware Tools version 10277 (Host version ESXi, 6.5.0, 5310538) which the host also marks as Current and Upgrade VMware Tools are grayed out. VM verison is 11.
On yet another VM the version is 10272 but VM version 9 and Upgrade VMware Tools are NOT grayed out.
Why can't I upgrade using Upgrade VMware Tools on the VM using 10272 apart from logging into that VM and mounting the iso file manually?
Is the Predefined Baseline fixed on 10272?
Can I somehow circumvent a setting to make 10277 be considered current and 10272 upgradeable under VM version 11?
Best Regards
Peter
Hello,
when I try to add user to local administrator on the vcenter I getting flowing error:
Call "AuthorizationManager.SetEntityPermissions" for object "AuthorizationManager" on vCenter Server "IServerName.FQDN" failed.
Hy everyboy.
I am trying to install VMWare Horizon Client 4.8 on a computer with the following sintax:
VMware-Horizon-Client-4.8.0-8547331.exe /silent /norestart VDM_SERVER="vdi.server1.es|vdi.server2.com" DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1 STARTMENU_SHORTCUT=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DISPLAY=1 LOGINASCURRENTUSER_DEFAULT=1
The installation is successful but it adds the last server and I need to install the program with the two servers.
What can I do to install the program with the 2 servers.
After upgrading to vRA 7.4 the health badges on the Item Details page are not visible anymore. For one or two seconds you see the frame loading, but it ends up being blank.
In the Items > Machines list the health column is not shown neither.
Under Administration > Reclamation > Deployments the health column is visible but there is also the following error message shown: Error: Unable to fetch information from configured vRealize Operations Manager
Under Administration > Reclamation > Metrics Provider I reset the vROps endpoint and the connection test is successfull, but this doesn't fix the above problem.
vROps itself is collecting data and I can see all the information it is collecting for VMs and so on.
Anyone experiencing the same behavior?
vRA 7.4.0 Build 8182598
vROps 6.7.0 Build 8183617
Hi there!
Soon we'll finally have 10GbE with our new ESXi hosts and I'm wondering how I should set up the different vSS (and probably vDS next year after the planned upgrade) to get the best out of speed and redundancy. The hosts will have 2x 10GbE (on 1 NIC) and 4x 1GbE (those are onboard and guaranteed to be on 1 NIC, too).
The current hosts have 6x 1GbE on two NICs, where one of each NIC is in a vSwitch for the vMotion (vmk0) and management (vmk1) adapter. The remaining 4 are on another vSwitch for the VMs. All physical ports are active. We use NFS which is in the same subnet as vmk0.
I have no good idea how to use the 10GbE with the 1GbE ports. First, I'll probably create a new vmk for the NFS traffic*, or is it okay to run those two in the same VLAN like we do now? After the migration to the new hosts we will have a maximum of 3 hosts.
Then I'll either put 1 or 2 1GbE into the first vSwitch for the management vmk adapter and the rest into another vSwitch. There the 10GbE adapters will both be active and the 1GbE adapters will be on standby.
Would this be a valid and and good way to distribute the physical ports into the hosts and VMs? The physical switch on the other side is of course stacked and I'll connect to it in a redundant fashion like we do already.
Kind regards,
Chris
*I'll probably just create new vMotion NICs so I don't have to change anything on the storage side, just create a new VLAN and Subnet for vMotion
Hi;
First of all I'm completely newbie in Vmware. I was working on my project and suddenly the power went down and came back again. after that, I cannot connect to my ESXi 6.0 host. I can ping and even can connect remotely by SSH. But neither Vsphere Client nor HTTP/HTTPS work. I searched the net and found that "hostd" and "vpxa" are not running. I started the processes but after some seconds they stopped automatically. Here are commands:
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd start
Ramdisk 'hostd' with estimated size of 303MB already exists
hostd started.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is running.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa status
vpxa is not running
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa start
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa status
vpxa is running
.
.
.
after a minute:
.
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/vpxa status
vpxa is not running
[root@timaz-esxi:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is not running.
I checked the log files and here they are:

And this is what I got while trying to connect to the ESXi host with Vsphere Client:
I have many VMs on that ESXi host. How can I fix the issue or get my VMs from that ESXi host? tnx.
What are your current practices for updating existing appstacks with Microsoft windows security patches ?
For example appstackA has notepad++ version 7.5.6.
Microsoft releases june paches for windows server 2016.
I patch my gold images for linked clones for june patches.
I then poweron my appvolume capture machine and patch it with june patches and snapshot the appvolume capture machine.
I then power on my appvolume capture machine.
Then click update for appstackA and create a "update copy" named appstackA-update.
then provision appstackA-update to appvolume capture machine and reinstall notepad++ version 7.5.6 ?

I will be using 8 ESXI hosts and 24 Virtual machines on it (All in SAN) also use windows storage by using NAS
What will be the best open license to buy for deploying windows.
The hosts are two socket server with 22 cores each (Total of 44 Cores)
How may license should i buy and which one will be benefecial

2. Windows server 2012/2016 Data Center Edition.
Thank you all in advance
Hi,
vRealize Automation 7.4, vSphere machine blueprint (Create - BasicVMWorkflow), custom form
I have several datastores and created reservation policies for them.
I found the custom property VirtualMachine.DiskN.StorageReservationPolicy in the Custom Properties Reference. When I add this custom propery to the disk I get: You cannot use a reserved propery. I do not want to have the disk grid layout because it's too detailed and I only want to be able to change the Storage Policy.
I was thinking about a checkbox that will set the disk policy to something specific like noSRM datastore if needed.
Is there another way to accomplish this?
Thanks
