"Could not open /dev/vmmon" on macOS 10.12

Hi,

 

I am currently on Fusion 8.5.0 freshly downloaded from your website. I have a couple of VMs from before I upgraded my OS to 10.12. Now none of them will start/resume and all I get is the error in the title.

 

I upgraded to Fusion 8.5.0 before the OS update and it worked fine, so I guess something in the OS update broke it.

 

I have tried searching around in this forum and have tried the following to no avail:

  1. uninstall/reinstall
  2. reboot
  3. install a new VM from image

 

In case it helps, I do have VirtualBox installed as well, and I need it just as much as I need Fusion.

ESXI 6 - backup without 3rd party apps

October 17, 2016, 12:44 pm

Hello all,

 

This is my setup:

 

ESXi 6 running one VM (win server 2008)

NFS server running on a Linux PC (for backup) and NFS share mounted on ESXi server.

 

The objective:

 

Friday evening - Make one full backup (weekly)

Monday to Thursday evenings - create daily snapshot (incremental backups)

 

Status:

 

The full backup is pretty straightforward.

I created a script on ESXi sever to suspend the VM and copy files to NFS share then start the VM again.

So if anything goes horribly wrong I can use the backed up VM files.

 

As far as snapshots I am having difficulty figuring out how best to manage these.

 

Note: It is unrealistic to do a full backup every evening due to storage, network, and time constraints.

 

Snapshot Problem:

 

Scenaro 1:  Snapshots stored on NFS location.

 

If snapshots are saved to NFS location and the running VM becomes corrupt can these snapshots be associated with my VM backup files?

 

If I change the .vmx config to use NFS as working directory will then VM is running off snapshots that reside in network location causing performance issues (?)

Also some other files will use this new location (eg. swap file and .vmem) which seems a bad idea performance-wise since they are on the network instead of being accessed locally.

 

Scenario 2: Leave snapshots in working directory and copy nightly to backup on NFS

 

Leaving the snapshot files in the same working directory requires that I successfully copy all snapshot related files to the network daily.

If I manage to backup all the necessary files correctly I am still faced with the problem of whether these could be applied to the VM backup files rather than the running VM.

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

So, not sure how to manage this. Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hope this makes sense.

 

Regards.

"one or more hosts that need disk format upgrade" but all hosts/disks are showing same & latest

Does anyone know how to fix it when the cluster configuration status shows "one or more hosts that need disk format upgrade", listing less than all the hosts (in my case, it's 3 out of a 5-node cluster), yet all the disk groups indicate they're at the same Disk Format Version in both the Web Client UI and rvc (in my case, v3 for a hybrid 6.0U2 cluster)?

Horizon 7.0.2 and App Volumes 2.11

We have the two products set up in our environment. The release document for App Volumes 2.11 stated that the product compatibility with Horizon goes as far as the Horizon 7.0.1. I was wondering if this is also true with 7.0.2 since App Volumes 3.0 is not the best options due to some series of issues with it.

View Admin console shows SIDs for 8.5% of all users

Ever since we upgraded from View 5.3.4 to 6.2.1 we have a problem where for the newest of all the users, we only see the SIDs of said users in the View admin console instead of names.  If you click on a given sid, you get a page showing the user's name, group membership, and email address perfectly.  This suggests to me that the data is in the ADAM database of View, but its just not displaying properly.  Eventually, the user names show in the admin console correctly but its annoying for having to deal with relatively new users.  This happens with linked clones, independent VMs, and doesn't seem to matter what the status of the machine is.  Has anyone experienced this issue or have a fix?

Network shared folders does not work using NAT

September 21, 2016, 8:32 am

Hi, I recently update to Mac OS Sierra, Fusion 8.5 and Windows 10 Anniversary.

 

Since, I cannot access any network folders (Windows servers, NAS...) in Windows, if I share my network connection (Internet Sharing, NAT) with my host (Mac).

I can ping the servers, even open the web page of the NAS... But I don't see any server in the computers window ! I tried to re-install the VMware tools (manually). Same behaviour.

 

If I change the Fusion adapter settings to "Bridged Networking", it works as expected and I see immediately many servers in the computers window !

 

Who is the faulty software? Is it a bug? What can I do to use the "Internet Sharing" configuration?

 

Thx in advance!

Adobe docs print partly garbage using 4.2 client with redirected printer

Now that we deployed the 4.2 client (4.2.0 build-4336726) I'm seeing that on some Adobe docs are now printing some garbage (random letters and numbers) in place pf some text. Not with all documents.  This totally reproducible when I roll back to the previous version, it prints fine and when I load 4.2 it starts printing junk.    If I print to another printer that isn't redirected from the local machine it prints fine as well.

 

Anyone see this or know the fix? besides putting the old one back on.

 

Thanks!

Hi all,

 

Having some troubles with HealthCheck script.

 

Tested several versions of vCLI in order to get it working on MSWin10, but no luck (Actually using v5.5.0.6588)

 

Tested also different ver of the script, last version included:

 

vghetto-scripts/vmwarevSphereHealthCheck.pl at master · lamw/vghetto-scripts · GitHub

 

Tested different ver of vcenter and ESXi hosts. Same results, or very similar.

 

Need to run it over ESXI v5.5u2, but will be usefull to get it working also for 6.0.

 

Generating VMware vSphere Health Report v6.0.0 "vmware_health_report.html" ...

 

This can take a few minutes depending on the size of your environment.

Get a cup of coffee/tea/beer and check out http://www.virtuallyghetto.com

 

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at D:\vmwarevSphereHealthCheck\check.pl line 361.

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at D:\vmwarevSphereHealthCheck\check.pl line 467.

 

Any help will be appreciated!

Attempting to Sniff with VM and Eth-USB Adapter

Hello all,

 

I'm attempting to use my in-line network tap with a VM. I have the host off the tap and I have verified that the host is receiving traffic. I moved away from using the on-board NIC (as I understand this is difficult to do) and am now using an Ethernet-to-USB adapter in hopes I can get the VM to recognize and use this for the inbound traffic on the suggestion of some Red Teamers I know.

 

I'm using the Security Onion VM and, once in the guest, I am using:

VM -> Removable Devices -> (switching USB device from host to guest)

 

My guest recognizes the USB device, but I still can't seem to get traffic to the VM. To troubleshoot, I moved the system from the tap to my switch (to test normal Internet connectivity), but that didn't work either.

 

Open to suggestions or tips. Let me know if anyone has any follow-on questions. Thanks!

Manage Vpx.Vpxa.config.log.level For Auto Deploy ESXi Hosts?

May 16, 2013, 11:45 am

We recently completed an upgrade to ESXi 5.1 via Auto Deploy.  One thing we immediately found was the vpxa log level defaults to verbose and collectively all ESXi hosts produced too much syslog traffic until the log level was reduced to info.  Unfortunately it seems you cannot manager the Vpx.Vpxa.config.log.level setting in Host Profiles.  We tried multiple times to get this setting to show up in the host profile, but did not succeed and opened a support ticket with VMware.  Their response was that this setting is not managable via Host Profiles and that the following KB is outdated in that this setting is not yet listed:

 

VMware KB: Some advanced configuration options are not supported with Host Profiles

 

I then wrote a PowerCLI script that can set the log level for vpxa service to info on all ESXi hosts and plan to run it very freqently to ensure any rebooted ESXi host has it's log level setting restored.

 

But I'm wondering how other people are dealing with the verbose log level from vpxa?  We discussed filtering the verbose messages on the syslog server, but that option does not fit well into our organization, and ultimately it would still mean the hosts are generating the syslog traffic and wasting resources doing so.

 

Thanks in advance for any input/suggestions on how you are dealing with this challenge.  I've submitted a feature request to VMware to add this advanced setting into Host Profile support; I'm surprised it's not already there!

Hi All,

 

I am new to VSAN, just want to know is there a way I can migrate VM Guest (under vSAN) to Esxi host?


VSAN Datastore (vSAN_Datastore), latest version

Esxi Host Datastore (APP_Datastore), running Esxi 5.5 due to the license restriction.


Beside setup a "middle-man" like Fiber Chanel, NFS in between, is there a way I cloud access ESXI Host's datastore from VSAN or vice versa?


Thanks!

Terence
