I am using the new Get-EsxCli -V2 option i am able to get an naa/lun device info but can't seem to figure out how to access the properties of it ??

 

for example:

 

$esxcli=Get-EsxCli -VMHost esxihost1.local -V2

$Parameters = $esxcli.storage.core.device.list.CreateArgs()

$Parameters.device = "naa.6006016037113b006bee66324508e711"

$naa=$esxcli.storage.core.device.list.Invoke($Parameters)

vcloud 5.5. change nic driver of a vm

Hi there,

 

I have  a bunch of vms inside vapps with a nic driver e1000 we would like to change that to vmxnet3 without adding a new nic since this will change the mac address and we need to keep the same due to software license.

 

Vcloud GUI doesn't allow me to do this change I was wondering if its possible to do this through the rest api so far I've managed to extract the xml where the nic definition is

but when I'm trying to put the xml back with the driver I want I'm receiving a "Forbidden" message.

I am trying to copy a virtual machine that has no snapshots to a new hard drive using the web UI.

 

The virtual machine is powered off. Using the data store browser, I right-click on the folder that belongs to the virtual machine and select copy.

 

Then I select the new datastore that I want to copy it to, and click on the copy button in the bottom right of the window.  The copy begins, but quickly fails with the following error:

 

 

Does anyone know what I can do to correct this problem?

Mouse click not working Workstation Pro 14.1.1 build - 7528167

This was working prior to a PC upgrade. I went from a Asrock z77 Extreme 4 motherboard with 16GB of memory and an Intel i5 3570k, to a Gigabyte Z370XP SLI motherboard 16GB of memory and an Intel i7 8700. I transferred my drives, did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.251), My VMs reside on a secondary storage drive so I opened them in workstation. I have tried reinstalling VMware Workstation, recreating the preferences.ini located in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\, recreating the virtual machine and reinstalling vmware tools. I checked another VM and encounter the same issue. So I can CTRL+ALT to break input to the host and it will allow me to click one time, after that it acts as if the mouse buttons are not working. Has anyone ran into this or does anyone have anything I can try? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

vmhgfs module fails to build on Scientific Linux (RHEL) 7.4

I think this error is coming from gcc.  All the other tools build but vmhgfs, the one I really need because I need to mount shared drives.  This is most current Workstation Player using Windows 10 as a host.  The error is

Anyone have any ideas?  I am using this gcc.  I have been avoiding attempting to build a newer version.

Does workstation 14 really have No way to boot an existing VM to an ISO or USB flash drive?

$
0
0

There appears to be a huge omission in the Workstation 14 software. I have a Windows 10 pro VM that has a problem booting due to an OS file corruption. That is easily fixable on a PC running Windows 10 because I can boot it to a CD/DVD or a USB Flash drive for repairs. I thought for sure VMware allowed this for a VM. But I can find no way to do it. I CAN add an ISO as a CD/DVD drive connected at power-on, but if I boot to firmware VMware doesn't allow me to change to boot order. Nor is there anywhere else in the workstation software settings for the VM where I can do this. I'm guessing they assume your OS can take that responsibility. But that is ridiculous under most circumstances and impossible when the OS won't boot.

 

REALLY??? Please, tell me I missed something.

 

I was able to map the drive, but it maps as a network drive, so I can't run chkdsk on it. Also, when I try to disconnect the mapped drive it hangs Windows file explorer, requiring a reboot.

 

I was able to boot the host pc to a Paragon Hard disk manager pro flash and map the vm drive there to run some checks, but I don't believe that tool will attempt to fix indexes .

 

Any ideas?

ESXi 6.5 U1 Disk Performance

$
0
0

Hi.

 

I'm using WinSCP to copy a large file to a standalone ESXi 6.5U1 host datastore. WinSCP is uploading at a consistent rate of ~44 MB/s.

 

ESXi Disk Performance is:

Total Disk usage of ~87 MB/s

Total Write 86.7 MB/s

Total Read 0.3 MB/s

 

I have verified the units are all in fact MB/s, and not a mixture of Mbps, etc. and have repeated the results with several files on two datastores.

 

I'm not thrilled with the performance, but I'm more concerned about understanding why ESXi is reporting write usage of (strangely coincidental) 2x greater than the actual transfer rate.

 

Thanks!

 

Jim

NSX for Horizon Features?

Hello.

I was looking for some information about VMware NSX for Horizon to know what features are included in this license. I know that NSX have Standard, Advanced and Enterprise versions but I don't know what are the features included on NSX for Horizon. Does this license correspond to any other NSX license? What is the difference between NSX for Horizon and the other editions?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm feeling stuck. I've recently installed a new version of VMWare-Player (14.1.1) and it was working fine until now. When I want to start it, the whole OS just freezes, so I can't really debug it. I've tried uninstalling it using "vmware-installer --uninstall-component vmware-player", but it got stuck as well. I've found there is a process in "uninterrupted sleep" state:

Hi Experts,

 

Just wanted a view of the below scenario.

 

I have a 1 TB Storage LUN and I have created 10 VM's and provisioned each VM 100 GB Thin provisioned LUN's.

 

Can I provision another 2 VM's and allocate 100 GB Thin LUN to them.

 

What is the amount of over-provisioning can be done?

 

Thanks

 

Anjan
