Host: Ubuntu 20.04 (recently upgraded from 18.04)

Guest: Windows 10 version 1909

Workstation Pro 15.5

I have a Bluetooth headset connected to the host. In Settings->Sound->Input (on the host) the headset is selected as the input device, and the dashed indicator shows that the mic is working.

In the Windows 10 guest, I can hear audio through the Bluetooth headset, but the microphone doesn't work. For example in Settings->System->Sound under "Test your microphone", the bar is completely gray (no sound).

Everything was working fine until today. This may have been the first time I tried using the headset on the Windows guest since I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04, but not certain of that.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

We're planning to upgrade a vCenter instance from v6.0 to v6.7 (update 3). All the hosts we manage from this vCenter are all v6.0 hosts - various builds, vast majority of which are 3620759. We're not actively looking at upgrading the hosts to 6.7 just yet.

In the event of a failure, our rollback plan is to restore a backup of the vCenter host VM - that is, this vCenter installed on a Windows Server VM. Is there any reason to assume the hosts won't function as expected, in the event that we roll back vCenter in this way?

Any advise would be appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi,

Sorry for starting with the probably most stupid Q.  I have just entered the world of ESXi and I have installed the first ESXi and a couple of OS's, and it's all working fine.

But for saftey reason, I would like to backup and restore the different OS's, and maybe even the whole disk!

Q1.  is that possible?

Q2. Is that possible with the free license or do I need full license to performe at least the first task (backup/restore an OS), or both (backup/restore the whole disk)?

Hi,

1/ I'm looking for an elegant  way to list all my VMs Power Management Standby Response parameters; is it possible to automate that check (>800 VMs)?

2/ Unfortunately, we have two different configurations for the Stanby Response, Suspend OS for some Vms and Put the guest Os into standby mode. We did not configure manually this parameter, so how could we explain the different configuration? Did it depend from the OS type?

Thank you for your help,

Thomas 

Hello everybody

Why can't I set up 2 or more network bridges in VMWare Workstation Player which are running in the background on different & independent phys. network adapters in the background?

Well, concrete example for a computer with 2 phys. Ethernet adapters:

- 1 port used (i.e. 1 cable connected): Set up bridge and good is

- 2 ports used (i.e. 2 cables attached) 2 bridges set up

   --> But then I can't play different, independent phsy per bridge. Ethernet adapter... I choose for Bridge 1 the phsy. Adapter 1, this also applies to Bridge 2; if I choose phsy for Bridge 1, the phsy. Adapter 2 for Bridge 1, the same applies to Bridge 2

Even more strange: I can even play 2 or more phsy per bridge. adapters,... what should happen if x different DHCP servers are used by x different physical servers? adapters which are all redirected to ONE single VMWare bridge at the same time?

How weird is that?

Feature or bug? Anyway, VirtualBox is able to do something like that without any problems....

Thanks for the feedback! :-)

Hallo zusammen

Wieso kann ich bei VMWare Workstation Player keine 2 oder mehr Netzwerkbridges einrichten welche im Hintergrund auf unterschiedliche & unabhängige phys. Netzwerkadapter gemappt sind??

Also, konkretes Beispiel bei einem Rechner mit 2 phys. Ethernet-Adaptern:

- 1 Port verwendet (also 1 Kabel dran): Bridge einrichten und gut ist
- 2 Ports verwendet (also 2 Kabel dran) 2 Bridges einrichten
   --> Pro Bridge kann ich aber dann nicht unterschiedliche, voneinander unabhängige phsy. Ethernet-Adapter auswählen... wähle ich für Bridge 1 den phsy. Adapter 1 aus, so gilt das auch für Bridge 2; wähle ich für Bridge 1 den phsy. Adapter 2 aus, so gilt das auch für Bridge 2

Noch abstruser: Pro Bridge kann ich sogar 2 oder mehr phsy. Adapter auswählen,... was sollte dann bitteschön passieren wenn x verschiedene DHCP-Server von x verscheidenen phys. Adaptern greifen welche allesamt gleichzeitig auf EINE EINZIGE VMWare-Bridge umgeleitet werden?

Wie schräg ist denn sowas?

Feature oder Bug? VirtualBox ist jedenfalls problemlos in der Lage sowas zu bewerkstelligen....

Danke für die Feedbacks! :-)

Hi,

I want to know if there is any difference between VCP6-NV and VCP-NV 2020, both certification mention same exam to be taken.

VC6-NV

https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcp6-nv.html

Exam - VMware Certified Professional 6 – Network Virtualization

VCP-NV 2020

https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcp-nv.html

Exam - VMware Certified Professional 6 - Network Virtualization 6.2 Exam (Retiring Soon on June 30, 2020)

When clicked on the Exam links both opens the same page

https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcp6-nv-nsxv62-exam.html

Exam Number - 2V0-642

Associated Certification - VCP-NV 2020

Exam Number - 2V0-642 - is this exam retiring on June 30, 2020 ? if yes, then whether this date will be extended in view of the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic ?

Pearson onVue is not available in Japan, thats why i cannot take exam online from home ?

Can i use some VPN to connect to other country and attempt the exam ? will it work ? will it be legal ?

Regards,

Nilesh

Hey,
I have few custom properties on my blueprint, what I'm trying to do, is to get them in one of my stubs.
I managed to get the CatalogResource of the deployment, but can't find any way to get the properties.
Does anyone have an idea how to do so?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am using vRA version 7.2 and I would like to make one of the machine's reservation to unlimited. However, I am getting below error which is expected if Blueprint has limited lease period.

Basically, when I created machine from Blueprint it had limited lease. However, before changing the lease of this machine I made the blueprint lease to unlimited but it is still throwing me the same error. I am not sure if its supported to change the lease to unlimited in this way. I know we can use cloudclient to achieve this, but I don't want to remove the machine from vRA or have it linked to other Blueprint.

Can we make the lease to unlimited without using cloudclient ?

I am deploying a multi-machine blueprint where by the users picks any number of web app and db servers and then sends the request.   The request starts to run and using the AD integration plugin it tries to go out and pre-stage computer accounts for the machines in the specified OU.  I am getting intermittent success.  It is not consistent.  When it fails it is due to a java.util.concurrent.TimeOut Exception.   At first I considered it was due to me using the SPN of the name as the AD controller.  So I changed that and am now pointing to a specific Domain controller.  I still get the errors more often than not.  I get a successful run about 1 out of 5 times.  I know its not anything in the blueprint it has to be in the AD Plugin or there may be an issue on my clients AD Domain.  Here is a failed workflow run showing that it fails at the PRESTAGE_COMPUTER_ACCOUNT.  Any help troubleshooting would be appreciative.

Is there currently support in the SSL-VPN client for the use of DoD CAC or other smartcards for the user authentication piece?  If not, is it on the roadmap?

Hi,

I have checked the virtual network editor from my VMware and i realized that the bridged connection doesn't appear and i cant add other add other networks.

I have added an image to show the network editor.

Could someone know how to able this?

Thanks in advance

I dont see any way of pulling the devices tab details or information on the consistency groups directly from SRM powershell module. Is this even possible? im using version 8+ and EMC RP4VM.

Hi all.  I'd appreciate some advice on if what I'm trying to do can be done, and where I'm going wrong.  I need a way for end-users to connect to a VM using VMRC without them needing their own login to the VRA console.  I thought it would be possible using the API.

I am able to get resource actions using:

GET/api/consumer/resources/{resourceId}/actions/{resourceActionId}/requests/template

Partial output of the above:

I can perform some actions by first getting the template using:

GET/api/consumer/resources/{resourceId}/actions/{resourceActionId}/requests/template

The problem is that if I try to retrieve the request template for any of the connect actions (console, VMRC or SSH) I get this:

Hi, I´m running a vcenter server 6.7 on a windows server 2016 and I just wondered why I only see these few services?
Shouldn´t there be more?

I'm trying to update the lease expiration date of a deployment in vro.  I read this thread, and it gave me a good base to start with, but i can't seem to get the operations peice to work.

My end goal is to publish a link via email to the end user for POC boxes so they can extend the lease without any intervention.  I've attached the code i'm working with just to flesh out how everything works.

I have the code to grab all vm's expiring in less than 30 days and the code to grab the deployment catalog resource.  Just can't get the operations to populate.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello!

Apologize in advance if this is a newbie question - any help would be much appreciated!

I want to install macOS Catalina on a Windows machine. I am watching this tutorial where the guy can pick Apple Mac OS X as the guest operating system. Now, I am following the exact steps but I am not able to choose this option. See the images below.

Any ideas why I can't choose Apple Mac OS X from the menu?
