Hi All,
I want to install ESXi directly on my PC hardware and Windows XP as a guest OS.
how to access the VM screen directly from the PC where ESXi is installed, rather than from the IP to the Web Client.
I tried to find a way to do this and that on the Console screen by pressing Alt+F1 on the Host PC, but I'm not sure.
Please let me know.
New Supermicro Vmware vSAN Environment, when we perform any NVMe removal/addition we trigger a VMware purple screen issue, this is quite common to happen when you do not enable Intel VMD feature on NVMe drive technologies (because it’s like removing memory from the CPU in “hot” without having support for it). However, we know that Intel VMD technology feature has been enabled on our Supermicro server (BIOS) for all PStack/PCI-Switches and NVMe drives.
Please note that:
During our purplescreen troubleshooting that happened every time we triggered a Hot-Plug event (for capacity drive), we encountered the following error:
2018-10-12T18:12:26.307Z cpu27:79194)@BlueScreen: #PF Exception 14 in world 79194:isdct IP 0x418037e024f5 addr 0x430ae01c50e6

We decided to remove the isdct being reported during fails, once done we proceeded to remove/add multiple NVMe drives and no purple screen happened. We decided to install ISDCT again and the purple screen started happening again, we then removed the ISDCT and the purple screen was not experienced again, we even proceeded by hot-plug 8 disks at the same time and no purple screen happened again.
This led us to think that Intel SSD Datacenter Tool 3.0.14 might be the root cause of the purple screens while Hot-Plug. We enabled Intel SSD DC Tool logging mode and replicated the purple screen issue, however we didn’t find more detail at this level.
Intel released a new Intel Datacenter Tool about 1 week ago, they’re addressing “Miscellaneous Bugs”, however new release 3.0.15 was released only for Windows/Linux systems and it seems that Intel will release it for VMware soon, it’s more likely that they will fix this issue in that version, however we haven’t found any official note about this problem.
As for the moment, if we remove isdct hot plug works great and purple screen does not happen, however as you know this utility is very important for accessing relevant NVMe drive information/sensor and other maintenance/reporting tasks.
Does anyone else is experiencing this issue? We're troubleshooting with Supermicro, however this does seem to be an issue related with intel SSD DC Tool/VMware environment, something that we wouldn't expect considering that isdct is just a tool. Intel NVMe drivers seem to be doing their work with no problems.
I'll appreciate your help.

Hi all,
I manage an ESXi server on a remote location.
This location is in the middle of nowhere. The bandwidth to the location is 256KB up and 256KB down.
Unfortunutually this is the maximum speed we can get on the location.
In the past we connected with the old C# client to ESXi.
After an update from ESXi 5.5 to 6.5 this is not possible anymore.
We use the HTML5 client now.
The old C# client took less bandwidth than the new HTML5 client.
When I connect to the server, I have to wait 2 minutes before I see the Username and Password fields.
The browser is downloading 8 MB data for this page.
The biggest pain is main.js with 4.6 MB (Took 1,6 Minutes to load, see attachment)
Does anybody know how I can speed up the login and management?
Are there settings to cache the biggest files?
Is ESXi 6.7 more bandwidth friendly
And don't say I have to upgrade the connection
Thanks!
基本的な質問でたいへん恐縮です。
ゲストＯＳのシャットダウンに関してですが、ゲストＯＳにログインしてスタートメニューからシャットダウンを行うのと、vCenterやHostClietから電源＞シャットダウンを行のは同じシャットダウンでしょうか？
自分的にはゲストＯＳにログインしてスタートメニューからシャットダウンを行うよう心がけています。
vCenterやHostClietから電源＞シャットダｳﾝするのはサーバの電源を引っこ抜くことと同じような気がしています。
気にする必要はないのでしょうか？

I mean what are the functions supported by vCenter when KVM works as the hypervisor?
Compared with ESXi or hyper-V, what's the difference of vCenter implementation?
Scenario is: Tagging multiple hosts from my flat switch. I will lose connectivity to hosts until I plug in my startech device and assign the tag to it. when the script runs it pretty much just stalls after the 1st host. I have tried removing the discconect-viserver. /Any thoughts? see script below. Looking for something that acts like nohup sleep command. Also start-sleep is not what i need.

Hi everyone,
after upgrading my mac from High Sierra to Mojave i updated Vmware Fusion 10 to 11 version
Now from guest machine (Windows 10 Enterprise lateest version) i cannot see any USB storage devices
Input usb device keyobard an mouse works
Usb Devices are correctly recognized by Mac host
I already tried to remove and re-add USB Controlelr to guest machine, update vmware tools and upgrade hardware version for guest machine from 11 to 14 (I need compatibility to Fusion 10)
Any suggestions?
Thanks

ＪＰ１でesxiから以下のような通知を５分ごとに受けているようです。
しかし、vCenterではなにもエラーがでていなくて気持ち悪いです。
「仮想マシンがハートビート喪失になっています。vmvmhblostトラップ」
手前みそでしらべたところSNMPトラップを抑止できるようですが、このエラー通知を抑止しても問題ないのでしょうか？
よろしくお願いします。

Hello to all, I'm trying to build my own home lab for VMware solution testing, mainly to learn about the technologies and how to get arround them (install, configure, manage kind of stuff).
My setup is as follows:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700X, MB: Asrock X370 Taichi UEFI 4.80, 64 GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro with Workstation 14 pro installed atop of it (latest patches on both OS and workstation).
I am able to install a virtual ESXi host (6.5U2) on top of the setup and it runs OK. But when I create a VM on top of this virtual ESX when the VM starts and after it tries to boot, the VM crashes and just powers off. Sometimes it goes through boot OK and starts to load the iso, but then the whole virtual ESX crashes. I tried importing a VM from template to the virtual ESX, but this has the same results.
I tried a couple of UEFI version on the MB, different OS versions and Workstation versions, different OS iso files, but the results are still the same. I have another Intel based PC at home (old i5) and that one works OK and is able to run nested virtualization without any problem (same SW setup).
Is this some limitation of the architecture, or is nested virtualization simply not allowed on Ryzen CPUs? Any way arround it, other than selling this setup and buying a new one?
Check vSphere history tasks in Monitor\Tasks & Events\Tasks.
But, it has time limit.
How do I check earlier tas
All of sudden, when I click the tray icon and select Open VMware Workstation I have to wait several minutes before the window is even displayed? Once it is open everything is fine and it responds normally. This has been fine working on my test system for the last 9 months and this just started happening in the last few days and I can't figure out why or how to resolve it?
Do I need to change MTU value in my production enviroment?
If it need, How many is it?
Hi All
Please be patient with me I am new to vmware and I have a scenario which I need a solution for.
I have 2 hosts (nodes) and a SAN and I'm required to configure HA but am not sure on the tools required.
I've setup ESXI 6.7 evaluation on the 2 nodes and they are ready to go.
But I'm unsure where to go from here;
Do i need vCenter hence another node for 3 way setup
Do I use vSAN in this scenario
I'm really unsure any assistance and instructions would be great.
Thank you kindly
We are using vmware management SDK to start an executable on a remote machine managed in a vcenter.
While trying to start the process using "VMware.Interfaces.Operations.IVirtualMachineOperations.StartProgramInGuest" by passing the executable path, instead of receiving the id of the process that has been started, we are receiving -1073740791. And further call to list the running processes on the remote machine also fail with internal server error.
Can you mention why this is happening and the solution to avoid this ?
Hi,
I see that the ESXi scratch partition is by default set to /tmp/scratch, where is this stored?
Is this local on the SD card used for the ESXi install or on ramdisk (space allocated in memory for storing these logs)?
Strangely when I enter df -h on an ESXi host, it does not list the local drive/partitions (SD Card).
For syslog, if I setup a remote host to send logs (syslog.gobal.logHost), do I also need to specify a datastore (Syslog.global.logDir) or can I set this to null?
Thanks
I have a vSphere host with 4 harddisk - harddisk 1, harddisk 2, harddisk 3, harddisk 4. I have set up a data store on each harddisk, so there are 4 data stores - Datastore1, Datastore2, Datastore3 and Datastore4.
Months ago, the harddisk 3 failed but the host was still able to boot. Last week, I tried to remove harddisk 3 from host but accidentally, I removed hardddisk 4. Then the host is unable to boot, when I boot the host, the host just hangs at cursor without showing the VMWare console.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Hi,
we have Samsung TC241W clients running Windows 7 Embedded. I was able to update it so far to client version 4.8.0. When I am trying to install 4.9.0, it immediately throws out the exception and install fails.
I did the whole recovery to have clean Win7 Embedded SP1 Standard installed. Then I tried to install clients from version 4.30 untill 4.8.0. That worked. Only the 4.9.0 is not possible to install.
I attached two files, one is the error and the other is the log from TEMP directory.
Is it possible that the Win7 Embedded support was dropped ? I can not find any info about it.
Thanks a lot.
