Hello everyone.
What I'm trying to do is install Windows 10 on Legacy BIOS mode in a virtual machine created in Workstation Player. The host OS is on UEFI. When installing Windows 10 on a virtual machine, I don't get the option to chose between Legacy or UEFI mode.
Is it possible to configure a virtual machine for legacy BIOS if it's running on a host machine on UEFI?
Hi All,
I had a few issues upgrading our existing Windows vCenter 5.1 to Windows vCenter 6.5 via 6.0 as a staged upgrade / migration.
After numerous hours of troubleshooting and no avail of resolution, i was forced to uninstall as much as possible off the physical vcenter 5.1 server (althouth vcenter 6 upgrade removed vcenter 5 in it's upgrade process)
I logged onto one of our ESXI hosts and manually unlinked it from the old vcenter and then deployed VCSA 6.5 as a clean / new install with a new FQDN/IP.
There were 4 hosts in a cluster on the old windows vcenter with distributed switches.
My question is:
1. Is there anyway to link / migrate the old windows vcenter 5.1 sql database to the new vcsa 6.5?
2. How do i migrate the distributed switches accross into the new VCSA when adding the hosts into the new vcenter?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You
I am in the process of updating BIOS and upgrading from 6.0 to 6.5. I cant migrate a file server to another host. I then checked with the other file servers, and migrate is greyed out as well. They were all part of a host rule, which I have deleted. There were no snapshots, but I deleted snapshots just to be sure.
Any ideas? I cant find any reason they could not migrate other than the host rule (keep VM separate).
Question,
I have a setup with (4) EXSi 6.0 Servers, vCenter Server 6.0 (Windows Server 2012 R2), Horizon View.
vCenter, Horizon View, as well as the View Desktops are joined to a Windows Server 2012 Domain with AD.
The users login to their desktops by using their AD credentials.
I also have (2) other servers running ESXi 6.5 on the same network.
I installed VCSA 6.5 and joined it to the same Windows Server 2012 Domain.
I am seeing an error after logging into VCSA with my AD credentials “Some elements could not be shown or their information could not be retrieved in time..”
I want to eliminate AD as an issue.
Is it possible to set up a separate LDAP Server and use the AD running on the Windows Server 2012 Domain ?
If so, does anyone have the steps available I will need to follow to get this implemented?
Thanks
Hi Guys
I have a server that is HP DL380p Gen8 but I understand that we don't have HP Customized Image of ESXi 6.5U1 for this server.
Now! I don't know that how can I install that?

Has anyone else tried doing this? I've tried it a couple of times in my lab and it skips all the IP addressing stuff. As a result the vApp uses DHCP for all its settings. When I use the Flash-based client I get an extra step in the OVF deployment wizard where I can manually set all my IPv4 stuff.
We have a desktop pool (called Win10Pool). It is a Windows 10 OS. It is a pool of 5 desktops. User can connect to the desktop using HTML (or the client). User has a need to automate the desktop functions. They need to have an icon on their desktop that will connect to the connection server and launch the pool. Again, this can be done within the client or HTML. How can this be automated?

I am looking for deleting the AD computer account by searching the Domain Controller of different locations and delete where it finds first. Because, when the server deployment rollback happens due to some failure with the existing AD plugin removal method it's not finding the AD computer (rollback happens quickly and the created AD computer not replicated across the locations within the time). We have vRA7.2 with AD plugin.
The below article helps for different domain. However, I am looking for searching different location domain controllers of the same domain.
I find the default VMware view too cluttered. Every time I open the window I click
Is there a way to make this permanent so I don't have to click those every time I open VMware? In the config file perhaps?
Hey all, I have a vCenter server that has three host servers. I'm dealing with some latency issues so I'm trying to export the warnings from my host servers but failing miserably. I can go to the Events tab under Monitor, filter for warnings and pull up several warnings. BUT, when I click on the Export icon, uncheck Error and Information, set my time frame for the last two days and click on Generate CSV Report I get a "No events match the provided criteria." I can see the warnings and I can see that they meet the criteria. Is there some arcane requirement that I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

As the title says I'm creating a workflow to add a new NIC and set the IP on windows. This is all done post sysprep so I'm trying to make a generic workflow to be as generic as possible so I can reuse this workflow in different scenarios. I've got a solution in mind but I'm wondering if there might be a better way or some built-in stuff I'm not aware to make life easier.
Basically this is what I plan to do:
1. Get a list of mac addresses for nics already on the vm (already found code for this)
2. Add a new network card via vro (already found the code for this)
3. Get a new list of mac addresses again and compare to the first list to find my new adapters in windows
4. Run a powershell script to target the new nic based on their mac address and adjusting the settings as needed.
Is that the way to do it or is there something built-in that I'm missing that would be easier?
Thanks

Running Get-HVPool | Format-Custom I can see all the data i want to pull from our envrionment, but i'm unfamilar with the output format
class DesktopInfo
{
Base =
class DesktopBase
{
Name = CIFS_Test
DisplayName = CIFS_Test
AccessGroup = VMware.Hv.AccessGroupId
Description =
}
}
What is this format? Can i redirect this back into a Var like XML or JSON? Or if possible can i convter this output into a more popular format?
Looking into replacing our existing Horizon Security Servers with UAG appliances. Is there a recommended method/procedure to do this? Am I able to install the UAG appliances in tandem with the Security Servers and then just flip over? Hoping this can be done with as little downtime to a production environment as possible.
VMware vRealize Automation 7.4 is now available
Whats New?
vRealize Automation 7.4 is greatly optimized for service architects, thanks to the new Custom Request Forms Designer which provides a consistent experience in designing infrastructure and application catalog items. It facilitates creation of generic blueprints with a simplified yet rich presentation layer applicable to different lines on business. The out-of-the-box Custom Request form removes the need for wrapping infrastructure and PaaS blueprints into XaaS blueprints, which reduces blueprint sprawl and lowers the cost of ownership.
When leveraging Custom Forms, designer blueprint architects are able to apply the following logic to the blueprint request form:
Many more improvements and enhancements
Hi All ,
can someone comment on the following .
1:with vcenter 6.5 appliance update manger is integrated so there is no requirement of separte update manger machine.
traditionally when we patch esxi host we put it into maintence mode first and then remediate.
is there any improvement in functionoingof update manger in 6.5 wherein it can automatically put the hosts in manintence mode .
i think the best practice still to individullay put host into maintence mode and then remediate .
Please suggest your thoughts on above points.
my SUT is a 4-node cluster(using vSAN as primary storage), i used it to execute VMmark3 7-tile test(not turbo mode)
the STAX job monitor showed that the "VMmark Results Collection" failed; other stages are passed and good
the problem is, same errors has occurred for so many times:
1. on the STAX monitor there are somes errors showed up:
Error: Tile 0 Weathervane results number not correctly identified
Error: Tile 4 Weathervane results number not correctly identified
Error: Tile 5 Weathervane results number not correctly identified
Error: Tile 6 Weathervane results number not correctly identified
Could not Collect all Results for the following 4 Wklds: ['AuctionLB Tile0 failed results collection', 'AuctionLB Tile4 failed results collection', 'AuctionLB Tile6 failed results collection', 'AuctionLB Tile5 failed results collection']
Warning: VMmark may not have completed successfully. Check for results manually, see documentation for instructions.
to deal with this, i use tilescore.pl to generate scores but the parameters seemed not work, same errors showed up:
A. tried the command: perl ../../tools/tilescore.pl -t 7 -E
VMmark 3.0 TileScore : v1.0 05222017
Computing_results_for_test_with_tile_count: 7 ...
Error : WeathervaneAuction0.wrf does not exist, exiting
B. tried the command: perl ../../tools/tilescore.pl -t 7 -D
VMmark 3.0 TileScore : v1.0 05222017
Computing_results_for_test_with_tile_count: 7 ...
Error : WeathervaneElastic0.wrf does not exist, exiting
C. tried the command: perl ../../tools/tilescore.pl -t 7 -E -W

Error : could not resolve start-time. Results data missing from one or more *.wrf files or time on clients not synchronized
basically, the scores and graph.html could not be generated, i've read the user guide and hope did not miss any paragraph.
i've checked the journalctl_SYSTEMD_UNIT=startstaf.service file and...
there are only two errors:
ERROR ST84 : DeployVM0 : All pings failed at 10.101.6.240 : Try increasing ProvisionPingMaxTries in VMmark3.properties
ERROR MAIN : VMmark3 Service Thread Pool not shutdown cleanly : Exceed maximum timeframe : Creating Stop File
i didn't see "deploy remediation warning", "error verylow-disk-space" or "get guest info did not run correctly"...
any ideas?
i could only imagine that these problems were due to the client VMs' hosts have insufficient computing resources?
or due to second or third shared storage space too small?
or vmmark3-template at wrong storage?
thanks for reading my article, hope i can also solve others' problems.

Hello!
I'm trying to find a way to build a Storage Policy so that objects are mirrored but only locally to the FaultDaomain, and not stretched over the secondary FD site.
Any Ideas of the settings?
I have build the following policies:
- Stretched cluster with no local protection
- Stretched cluster with local protection
Thanks!
