Hi guys,

 

I am using below command for recompose function in Linked clones

 

Start-HVPool -Pool $pool -Recompose -LogoffSetting WAIT_FOR_LOGOFF -StopOnFirstError $true -ParentVM "$pvm" -SnapshotVM "Enable Defender"

PowerCli to pull RDM info

$

I use the following script to pull matrix from all my vCenter's. We have some RDM's that I want to capture in this as well... is it doable?

 

When I say capture... Im looking to pull the # of RDM's as well as total space being used by them.

 

 

"Total Datacenters: $(@(Get-Datacenter).Count)"
"Total Clusters: $(@(Get-Cluster).Count)"
"Total ESX Hosts: $(@(Get-VMHost).Count)"
"Total VM's: $(@(Get-VM).Count)"
"Total Templates: $(@(Get-Template).Count)"
"Total LUN Datastores: $(@(Get-Datastore).Count)"
$TotalDatastoresCapacityMB = 0
Get-Datastore | ForEach-Object { $TotalDatastoresCapacityMB += $_.CapacityMB }
$TotalDatastoresCapacityGb = $TotalDatastoresCapacityMB/1024
"Total Size of LUN Datastores in GB: $TotalDatastoresCapacityGb"

Fusion 12 applications menu: dark mode support?

Just curious: are there plans to add dark mode support also to the applications menu? It is still bright, in its main (lower) pane, even in dark mode. I understand that it might not be a so high priority, but sooner or later, maybe...?

NVIDIA Tesla K80 - Pass Through

$

Hello.

I have a problem using a GPU hardware (NVIDIA Tesla K80) in an HP blade.

Since vGPU drivers are not available for this NVIDIA we tried the pass through configuration reported in this blog: https://cto.vmware.com/gpgpu-computing-with-the-nvidia-k80-on-vmware-vsphere-6/ however the full config is not working in our installation, when applied to a Windows 10 Pro, the VM no longer boots. When using just pciPassthru.use64bitMMIO="TRUE" config line, I can detect the new hardware in Win10 VM, but NVIDIA instalation of drivers "356.54-tesla-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe" never completes.

I also tried to install NVIDIA drivers in an ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64, but the VM was destroyed in this process (was unbootable after the installation).

 

I had also previous problems that can be related:

Our blade also has an "HP P440ar RAID controller" problem, https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2110557 and we opted to install ESXi software VMware-ESXi-6.0.0-2494585-HP-600.9.3.30.2-Jun2015.iso

since we don't have much experience in building custom images.

 

Tried also to file a VMWare support ticket, but the SnS is assigned to the institution that I work for. In My VMware account can't file the ticket because I don't have any product registrations.

I have all the SnS information (email info of Service Activation), but don't know how to use this info for my account.

 

Any help?

I have a problem on Windows 10. Yesterday I just closed virtual machines on my notebook as usual (I use Workstation 16 for some time already)

and today no any virtual machine is able to start. It shows all the time spinning logo of VMWare bios. 

mksSandbox.log has old date and contents. Tail of vmware.log has new date/time and is below...

Windows 10 May 2020 Update ("2004")

I have a Mac Pro 5,1 that has a 64-bit Windows 10 physical machine (Boot Camp) with the latest update (May 2020, a.k.a. "2004"). I also have a 32-bit Windows 10 VMware Fusion virtual machine that CANNOT be updated to version "2004" because of some compatibility issue (presumably, some problem with the refresh rate [?]). Is there a known solution to bypass this compatibility issue?

Good Afternoon André

 

You seem to be a little more on the ball regarding replies.

 

I too have the same frustration regarding the pipe connection.

 

Following on your logic below, I've tried it all...

stop & restarting the service

uninstalling (through windows gives me an dll error.??, but through re-installing the VM workstation package, it seems to unistall.!?!?)

updating to the latest version - vmware

updating windows

updating drivers

removed all references to 'vmware' and 'vmplayer' from the registry while it was uninstalled.

 

None of the vm's on my machine work.

I havn't tried to create one though.

I've then taken the latest vm player installation package to another machine, where it works.!!!!

 

This all says to me that vm player software itself has bombed out on my machine.

 

Please assist.

even though I now have access to my project files, I still need to continue development on my systems code, which I'm falling horribly behind on.

 

Kindest Regards

Alan

New Server Project

NOTICE :: This mirror for the project is open again.

 

 

Hello! It's been a minute since I last posted here with my own topic. I now have a dedicated ESXi server in the works, and am planning to start using it 24/7 by the end of this year. Here are the specs for the hardware:

 

CSE  :: HPE ProLiant DL580 G7
CPU  :: 4x Intel Xeon E7-8870's (10c/20t each; 40c/80t total)
RAM :: 128GB (32x4GB) DDR3-1333 PC3-10600R ECC
STR  :: 1x HP 518216-002 146GB HDD (ESXi, VMware Linux Appliance, System ISOs) +

                        1x 500GB Seagate Video ST500VT003 HDD (Remote Development VM) +

                        4x HP 507127-B21 300GB HDDs +

                        1x Western Digital WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB SSD (Virtual Flash) +

                        1x Intel 320 Series SSDSA2CW600G3 600GB SSD (also Virtual Flash)

             1x LSI SAS 9201-16e HBA SAS card (4-HDD DAS) +

                        1x Mini-SAS SFF-8088 to SATA Forward Breakout x4 cable +

                        1x Kingwin MKS-435TL (4x 3.5in HDD cage) +

                        4x IBM Storwize V7000 98Y3241 4TB HDDs

PCIe :: 1x HP 512843-001/591196-001System I/O board +

                        1x HP 588137-B21; 591205-001/591204-001 PCIe Riser board
GPU :: 1x nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB +

                        1x nVIDIA Tesla K10* (may replace with a GRID K520 in about a week)
SFX  ::  1x Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Rx

NIC   ::  1x SolarFlare SFN5322F

FAN  ::  4x Arctic F9PWM 92mmfans *

PSU  ::  4x 1200W Server PSU's (HP 441830-001/438203-001)

PRP  ::  1x Dell MS819Wired Mouse

ODD ::  1x Sony Optiarc BluRay drive

 

Parts marked with * are already in-house, but require further planning/modification before they can be added to the server.

 

As of now, the fans aren't really required for functionality. They were meant to help quiet the server down a bit, but they requiresomemodification to work. This part can wait.

 

 

Here is the current software configuration plan for the server:

 

*  Temporary task that will be replaced by a permanent, self-hosted solution

** Can benefit from port forwarding, but will be primarily tunnel-bound

^  Tunnel-bound (VPN/SSH) role - not port forwarded/exposed to the Internet

+ Active Directory enabled - Single Sign On (SSO)

 

 

Here is the current resource allocation plan for the server:

  • VMware NIX Appliance     :: 24/7 - true,  dedicatedHDD - false, dedicatedGPU -  false,      2c/4t + 10GB
  • Temporary/Testing VM     :: 24/7 - false,  dedicatedHDD - false, dedicatedGPU -  true,  12c/24t + 32GB *
  • Windows  Server  2016     :: 24/7 - true,  dedicatedHDD - true,  dedicatedGPU -  false,    8c/16t + 12-16GB
  • macOS Server 10.14.X      :: 24/7 - true,  dedicatedHDD -  true,  dedicatedGPU -  true,    8c/16t + 12-16GB
  • Artix Linux - Xfce ISO       :: 24/7 - true,   dedicatedHDD - true,  dedicatedGPU -  false,    8c/16t + 12GB
  • Windows 10 Enterprise    :: 24/7 - false,  dedicatedHDD - true,  dedicatedGPU -  true,  12c/24t + 32GB *
  • Remote Development VM :: 24/7 - false, dedicatedHDD -  true,  dedicatedGPU -  true,  12c/24t + 32GB *

 

VMs marked with an * cannot be run at the same time. Only one of them can ever run at any given moment. MacOS and Linux would have gotten a Radeon/FirePro (ie., Rx Vega 64), for best compatibility and stability, but market forces have prevented this. Windows 10 gets the Creative Audigy Rx. The MacOS and Linux VMs get whatever audio the Tesla K10's provide (either that or a software solution). Windows 10, Remote Development, and the Temp/Testing VM will be put to sleep (or offed) until they are needed (Wake on LAN), since they don't host any essential services.

 

There are three other mirrors for this project, in case you're interested in following individual conversations from the other sites (in addition to this thread).

 

P.S. Out of all the sites that I've ever used, this forum has one of the best WYSIWYG editors I've used in a while Kudos to the devs!

we replaced the security servers with UAGS recently, from that time we started noticing that user session getting dropped if we restart the connection server and we made sure the tunneling is disabled on the connection server and all the users are tunneled through the UAGs. we did not see this behavior with security servers in place.

 

Connection servers - 7.11

UAG 3.10

agent -  7.11

 

cant find any thing in the logs , any pointers will help


Avoiding virtual hard disk failure to stop the virtual machine

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I would like to know if some virtual hard disks of the virtual machine (vmdk or RDM) can be marked so that they don't stop the virtual machine if hey become unavailable.

 

I have a virtual machine with two additional virtual hard disks (in this case vmdk but it would be the same for RDM) from two LUNs located in two different storage systems. The virtual machine performs a software RAID-1 with these two virtual hard disks. So, I would like my virtual machine not to stop if one of these storage systems fails and thus the LUN where the hard disk resides becomes unavailable.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Christian

Managed Settings question

I have set a wallpaper (Groups & Settings>All Settings >Devices & Users>Apple>Apple iOS>Managed Settings>Default Wallpaper) for a specific organization group consisting of DEP devices,

However the wallpaper file is incorrect and I have already deployed 50 devices using an OG-specific DEP profile.

My question is, "If I upload a new wallpaper to that DEP profile, will the wallpaper be updated on the previously deployed devices? Or do I need to re-enroll the devices to get the correct wallpaper applied?

 

TIA,

Hello,

 

I have a Windows vCenter 6.0, which STS Signing Certificate will be expired soon, what is the right procedure to renew the certification?

I have found some articles for this topic, but all of them are for vCenter 6.5 or vCenter 6.7, not for 6.0。

Thank you for your help !
