I'm looking for help getting my VMTN username changed. I saw previous references to requesting help from a particular user, that user isn't active anymore though.

I'd like to change my username from gs_khalsa to vbrowncoat

Thanks!

Hello everybody,

I'm System integration and under my responsibility have many companies, I have multiple ESXI vCenter servers, in past six mounts we had upgrade near to 30 hosts and we also upgrade VMs from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2016 VMs.

the thing is windows server 2016 VMs they react very slow and it's feels laggy, in the same host i have 2008 R2 vm installed and it's react very fast and working good......

and it's not performance issue at all, cause i monitored the performance of host and also of all vm's, and i find there is more than 50% of resources available all the time.

to me it's seems to be a specific issue with server 2016.

Does anyone of you encounter with this issue?

I would glad to get some help from you

Thanks.

I'm new to VM.

I downloaded Kali Linux and used VM to install it. Installation is successful, however once it restart after installation, it doesnt boot.

Attached is the log.

Any help is appreciated

Hey all,

I have an existing script that emails a table of all VMs along with some related data and I want to add several columns for VM storage to it but am running into issues I can't figure out. I found this one liner on virtu-al's that works perfectly but am having difficulty integrating that code into this existing script and don't want to change how it's designed to use "For Each" and want to keep it how it is, using the standard get-folder | get-vm to pull the data into a variable. Appreciate any assistance here.

One-Liner that works great using extensiondata.guest

ForEach ($VM in Get-VM ){($VM.Extensiondata.Guest.Disk | Select @{N="Name";E={$VM.Name}},DiskPath, @{N="Capacity(MB)";E={[math]::Round($_.Capacity/ 1MB)}}, @{N="Free Space(MB)";E={[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace / 1MB)}}, @{N="Free Space %";E={[math]::Round(((100* ($_.FreeSpace))/ ($_.Capacity)),0)}})}

My Code snippet thats not working

$vmlist = Get-Folder $folder | Get-VM |

select Name,

@{N="IP Address";E={@($_.guest.IPAddress[0])}},

@{N='Folder';E={$_.Folder.Name}},

@{N="Capacity(MB)";E={[math]::Round($_.Extensiondata.Guest.Disks.Capacity/ 1MB)}},

@{N="Free Space(MB)";E={[math]::Round($_.Extensiondata.Guest.Disks.FreeSpace / 1MB)}},

@{N="Free Space %";E={[math]::Round(((100* ($_.Extensiondata.Guest.Disks.FreeSpace))/ ($_.Extensiondata.Guest.Disks.Capacity)),0)}}

 

Thanks,

Tim

I've tried and am trying to do the following on VMware® Workstation 15 Player 15.5.1 build-15018445. My initial goal was to install Windows 95 OSR 2.5, AKA Win 95 C, but it failed; I'll detail it in a paragraph thereafter. My current goal is to install MS-DOS 6.22, then run a game on it, then install Win 95 C through it (DOS, not the game). Since the DOS game is on CD, my current issue is to make it accessible (to DOS), or at the very least have it detected. I've gathered that it needs to be using MSCDEX.EXE but I know little about it and little about doing a good installation of DOS. DOS has been installed using 3 floppy image; there was a Supplemental Disk but it didn't ask for it and I haven't even mounted its image.

Basing on Tutorial - Installing MS-DOS 6.22 Inside VMWare - YouTube at 12:32 I've managed to do

mscdex /d:banana /l:d

but the output is

Device driver not found: 'BANANA'.

No valid CDROM device drivers selected

so I'm not doing well.

About the abandoned direct Win 95 C installation: It seemed to miss some files even though the path was D:\WIN95. After retrying a few times, I skipped the files which were

• from Disk 18:
  • hosts.sam
  • icmp.dll
  • inetmib1.dll
  • lmhosts.sam
  • nbstat.exe
  • netstat.exe
  • pcntnd.dos
  • ping.exe
  • route.exe
  • rpcltc3.dll
  • rpcltc5.dll
  • rpcltc6.dll
  • rpclts3.dll
  • rpclts5.dll
  • rpclts6.dll
  • secur32.dll
  • svrapi.dll
  • telnet.exe
  • telnet.hlp
  • tracert.exe
  • vdhcp.386
  • vip.386
  • vnbt.386
  • vtcp.386
  • vtdi.386
  • winipcfg.exe
  • winsock.dll
  • wsasrv.exe
• then from Disk 19 I only noted the 1st file afvxd.vxd but there was another 10 files or so.

I'm assuming the CD installation is an emulation of the floppy disk install which would explain those disk #. Windows did manage to start (as a guest) but there was no way to access internet (through it). Since I deleted the guest that happened it and I think my new goal is better, I'm only interested in fixing this once the rest of this post (beside this paragraph) is dealt with.

I would appreciate if you could help me run a MD-DOS CD game on 6.22, and once that's setup if I'm having trouble installing Win 95 C, help me with that.

Thank you kindly

Looking for community feedback on recommended prep strategy for Foundations Exam. I have many years of hands on experience with vSphere v5.x and v6.x but having a tough time figuring out if the majority of the Foundations exam questions are technical similar to VCP or more high-level (business use cases, licensing etc.)?  

Looks like there are lots of exam practice tests out there for purchase that all claim to be good, but majority of the user comments state otherwise.  If anyone has a recommended practice exam that they felt truly helped them, please let me know. 

Aside from a practice exam, I was either going to follow the Exam_Prep_guide "vsphere65-foundation-2v0-602-guide.pdf" and read through all the VMware documentation is referenced and/or look into purchasing the 115 minute video training prep ($247) offered by VMware (https://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrReg/courses.cfm?ui=www_edu&a=det&id_course=342947)

If anyone has taken the video training, let me know if you think it is worth it?

Thanks...

Hi,

Just recently upgraded our view environment from 7.0.3 to 7.11.

Unless I am missing something, Is the ThinApp interface missing in the Horizon 7 HTML5 Admin Console? I can not seem to find it anywhere.

I can still find it in FLEX though.

hi,

i have 2 nsx-v 6.4.5 Build 13282012 connected to 2 vc's running vcsa 6.7u3

i created ssl request from the admin ui and generated the certificate in our ADCS (as i did with the vc's and vrops servers certificates).

i used the ca template i created for the vc (using microsoft guideline for vcenter 6.7 certificate).

when i load the new certificate i still get browsers security errors on the certificate.

i noticed that the cert is missing the Subject Alternative name which most browsers requier today (and might be the reason for the error)

my question is, can i generate a "normal" certificate with private key using my ca and load it (with the key) to the nsx manager? is that supported?

is there a way to generate the request from the nsx admin with the subject alt name?

thanks

Mordechai

VRO 8.0.1 client inventory is not showing the installed plugin details but able to see it in VRO control center.

Tried restarting vRA but still no luck. Please assist us.

I can login to the ESX server with the Watchlist app, however, when I Power On a virtual machine, it crashes the app.  This crash occurs on a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0, build MRA58K.  The app works fine on Android 5.1.1; it appears this issue is with the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.  Thanks.

I have a dedicated linked-clone pool (Windows 10), and I'm looking to reduce the number of idle VM's running with no user logged in. I'm wondering if the Suspend option is viable or if it causes any weird issues.

Hello,

we are currently evaluating possible ways of how to use our software with the Horizon 7 desktop pools. The problem we have is that every clone of the golden image needs to have an identity key and this identity key needs to stay persistent after the clone of the golden image is recreated (identity is bound to the host name more or less). Are the some "best practices" of how one can achieve that? Is it somehow possible to inject such information into the "identity diff/image" that Horizon 7 should be using for restoring the identity of Windows after a clone of the golden image is created?

We are thinking about writing some script that would restore such information from a file share on a first start of the golden image clone (based on the host name of the clone). But this does require an external file share and doesn't sound like a good solution for us. So if someone had to solve similar issues - please share your experience.

Thanks!

I am on 6.7 and I have set the policy for four hosts to round robin as the default policy. When I added these hosts to my environment, the storage path selection was set to Fixed. I attempted to reboot the hosts but the Fixed state stayed the same. I can enter in the device path selection command and manually change it to "RR' but as default i thought any storage added would automatically switch.. Does anyone know why this happens?

Is there a means to monitor Horizon client performance over time? The goal would be to

VDI isn't performing up to its usual speedy self. ?

Hi,

I am completely new to Linux, so any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to figure out where the open VM tools desktop package is located so I can run it. I already installed the regular open VM tools package but I am trying to open the desktop package so I can enable copying and pasting between host and VM. Thank you in advance for your help.

The knowledgebase article I referenced: VMware Knowledge Base

when I prepare a KVM host, I can select more than one transport zone for this Transport node, but the button +ADD N-VDs is gray, and only one N-VDS can be configured, is it by design? so I know I can prepare an ESXi host to 2 Transport zone by enforcing Transport node profile which  2 Transport zones added. But how KVM fulfill this without profile enforced .
