I'm on Retina display, host Win 10 (DPI 200%). Guest Win 2008 Server.
When installing VMWare tools it always sets DPI to 150% in guest, mouse works perfecly, but text is still small.
If I disable auto-dpi and set guest dpi above 150% (200-250%) , the mouse cursor feels as it's rendered at low fps with frame skips when it's moving, also with x2 cursor speed compared to host.
It really breaks me from work. Is there a way to fix it? Anyone got to the same issue?
Already Certified with Version 5.5 dcv and Thankful to recent Certification policy as still the certification is valid
Now i am planning to prepare for VCP DCV 2019 and then NSX.Hope i dont have to attend any kind of training as certification Mandatory ..straight away into exams
VMWare 6.5
I have two vCenters both running 6.5
I have 9 ESXI hosts all running 6.5 and up to date will all patches.
Trying to implement VSAN on both ESXI Hosts.
1. Created a Datacenter on both vCenters.
2. Add VSAN to my VMkernal on each ESXI host.
I had a VMkernal already defined the same name on all 9 hosts.
I started to add VSAN to each one and on several it added but a few it did not.
After a while I tried again and they added the VSAN
I have one ESXI 6.5 host that will not add it.
A General System error occurred any ideas?
Thank you
I've been having the refference issue for the past few days, attached is a snap shot of the same,I'm unable to power on the vms in that state,how can i sort it out?
Hi there!
Get me a tip, how I can get an array of alocated IP addresses at External network through VRO (with workflow or any JS script).
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I have vSphere 5.5 servers and what I liked about that version is in the client I could hover over the physical vmnic and it would show a nice bubble with all the information I need to get the details of the physical switch.
I wish I can find the exact place in the vSphere 6.5 web pages. I did manage to get to the details once, but cannot find it again. It seems obvious, but not clear where to click. Any online documentation doesn't show any examples. Is there anyone who can help?
Thanks
Richard
I am trying to deploy a VM using OVF template but I get the following error. I tried opening the file in txt editor and found that it has SCSI description. In some other google article I found that they had IDE and changing that to SCSI resolved the issue. I even tried converting the OVF file to OVA and imported it and it still did not work.

Hi,
from time to time the VCSA 6.5e statsmonitor service stops unexpectedly. This breaks the ability to backup VCSA data via PowerCLI script. Another consequence is that there are no CPU/Memory/Database Statistics collected in VCSA management backend.
vRealize LogInsight Log excerpt is attached for the considered timeframe and filtered by "statsmonitor". I cannot tell from this log why it tried to add this service, tried to start it and then failed.
So the stop occurred on June, 13th for the last time. It remained stopped since then. Before June, 13th, I realized it and fixed it on June, 8th.
I see this problem occurring one one of our VCSA 6.5 instances but not on the other ones.
Does anyone else see this behavior or any idea what's wrong?
I'm accessing my cloud host provider's VCloud Director environment using IE 11.0.125 and VMware Client Integration plug-in 6.2.0.4908. The terminal for my machines loads fine and I can navigate without any trouble. However, when I try to upload media into my catalog I'm prompted to download and install the VCIP again. I've had a ton of trouble trying to get this working to begin with and it has been working for a while but now that I need to upload again it has suddenly stopped cooperating and I'd prefer not to fight with it.
Any ideas?
Hi all,
After I updated to ESXi to 6.7 Update 2 from Update 1, my F5 Virtual Edition could not longer communicate on its SELF IPs. I verified my configurations and everything looked good. After preforming a rollback to ESX 6.7 Update 1 on one of my ESX hosts the F5 VE started working as expected again.
Anyone else have this issue or might understand why ESXi 6.7 Update 2 might break the SELF IPs?
I have a vSwitch configured using 2 physical NICs that are trunked and configured for ip hash. on that vSwitch a port group for All VLANS (ID 4095). The F5 VE nics are assigned to that ALLv VLANs port group. In the F5 the VLANs are set for tagged traffic with the VLAN number.
This config above as mentioned has been working for 8 months until the Update 2 upgrade.
Any thoughts or should I roll back my other ESX host to Update 1?
This is an essential license and looks like I cannot open a support case. This is just my lab environment so not terrible worried but would like Update 2 applied for the security vulnerabilities it fixes.
Thanks,
Greg
Good morning everyone!
I know there´re many threads with this topic but i couldnt find a answer for my question.
We´ve got a VCSA vCenter with 7 hosts.
I need to change the certificate from the VCSA (cause of an audit... if we connect to the vCenter there shouldnt be a waring because of the VM certificate)
If´ve read a lot of How-To´s and things like (VMware Knowledge Base) but there´s one question (or maybe 2 )
If I replace the Machine certificate from the VCSA (Option 1 @ Certificate-manager) do I need to change the certificates for the ESXi Hosts too?
Maybe you guys could assist
kind regards from austria

Hi all,
I'm trying to upgrade vCenter 6.5 to 6.7. Phase 1 goes pretty well, no issues. Phase 2 fails everytime.
I'v tried multiple paths for upgrading;
Every time the installer fails at 62%;
Diving in to the logs;
Traceback (most recent call last):

Does someone have a clue?
So I don't know what I haven't tried yet. So the problem is I upgraded my motherboard from an X8SIL to an X9SCM and from ESXi 6.5 to 6.7. Everything was working fine in my X8SIL 6.5, but now since I have upgraded to the X9SCM any of the drives that are over 2 tb it will read them, but some of the files it will error out...mainly newer files that have been added to the drive.
ESXi will recognize and see the drive (8tb) and will allow the windows vm to write to it up to the 2 tb mark, and then will give me" this file is to big for the destination" error. But in the Windows VM it will say I still have 5.8tb free and there is 2tb used.
At first I thought it may had been a Mobo error, so I installed Windows 10 and took out ESXi out of the equation, and the Windows 10 could see and write to the drive fine. So I started back at the ESXi and installed the same version that was working on my old system (6.5) and still the same...sees the drive fine, but won't write anything to it.
I'm also getting the same results using a server 2016 VM. The X9SCM is on the latest bios update, and I'm booting the ESXi via a USB stick in UEFI mode.
What am I missing here? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you.
Hi All, I have one esxi host and I would like to use vCenter to manage it - in particular, I would like to have update manager. The problem is that I do not want to buy a Windows Server license. I was wondering if is possible to stand up another esxi host in my environment - using free license, just to put the VCSA on it for updating my other licensed esxi instance? I am not sure if the free eSXI would allow me to run VCSA on it? Thanks.
I'm a newbie on VMWare, and I just installed a free version EXSi.
And I'd like to try other products from VMWare, so I have downloaded the vCenter appliance VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-5973321.iso, and follow some Youtube video to deploy the appliance to the EXSi server.
However, it cause timeout when Installing RPM (i.e. stopped at 80%) every time.
And I found that, it takes two hours keep retry the following during the installer log:

Does it mean that vCenter cannot be deployed to ESXi even for trial?
What should be installed if it want to have a look on the vCenter Server?
This is my second install of ESXi 6.7 U1 and I'm seeing the same problem. The performance monitoring graph on the host and on individual VMs only shows the last few minutes, no matter how long it has been up. This is the case with all counters (CPU/Network/Memory/Disk). Screenshots attached. Running the free license. I have tried restarting hostd, running with/without NTP, and, obviously, a full re-install. Any suggestions?
We recently noticed that we can no longer use the MOB to manually register our extension. The registration seems to work, however when I attempt to log into vCenter I see an error in the virgo log indicating that the ZIP file can't be downloaded:
[2019-04-24T15:01:40.317-04:00] [WARN ] vc-extensionmanager-pool-125 70000139 100018 200002 com.vmware.vise.vim.extension.VcExtensionManager Package com.simplivity.web-client was not installed. Error downloading https://10.147.50.130/simplivity/simplivity-web-client-16.46.1022.zip. Make sure that the URL is reachable then logout/login to force another download.
I'm able to use the URL that's displayed in the warning message within a browser and the ZIP file downloads fine. Prior to 6.7, we regularly unregistered and registered using the same procedure and things always worked however now it seems like something must have changed.
Is anybody else running into this? Has anybody else been successful at registering an extension using the MOB?
When switching to and from local folder and external dive (through VMware sharing option) sometimes i get a freeze in fusion, so much as it causes a beach ball. If i wait it will eventually become functional again, but just wondering if this could be an external hard drive issue?
Its become too annoying, I thought i'd just re-install VMWare fusion and see, but wanted to see here first if anyone else is experiencing this issue
