[Old version 6.0.5]Uses old version due to 32-Bit windows as host; Install doesn't work

January 26, 2016, 6:34 am

Hello,

I wanted to create a vm using DOS. Since it is allready a little bit tricky to get files for setting it up I wanted to use FreeDOS instead. The iso-file for cd burning is on my harddisk and I creasted a new vm with 512 MB disk space and 64 MB RAM. As the machine starts it finds the c-disk but can't check for size so the only opportunity to do is to run xfdisk before the setup starts. Since this program relies on the real hardware it doesn't work correctly and setup stops. Aftrerwards the system is useless due to the not-installed os and the not-functioning installation process.

 

I also found a MS-DOS 7.1 cd image file and tried this. But the setup wants to create a ram disk which is not working so setup stops with error.

 

Do anyone see any possibility or a file in internet to installDOS (MS or anything else) into a vm.

 

System: AMD-based motherboard with 3 GB RAM and nvidia gt610 graphics. Disks: all three systems (IDE, S-ATA and SCSI) mixed. One dvd-rom and one burner.

Windows 7 SP1 Pro 32-Bit. VMWare Player 6.0.5.

 

greetings

SRM questions

Hi,

 

I've recently started looking at the SRM API for PowerCLI and, can get some quiet basic information, e.g. I can list VM's contained in a Protection Group.

Below is a script that I've been able to plagiarize to do this for me

 

$cred = Get-Credential

Connect-VIServer $vc -Credential $cred

Connect-SrmServer | Out-null

 

# Get the Protection Group Information & create a folder to save the results to

$ProtectionGroupName = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter the Name of the SRM Protection Group", "SRM Protection Group Name")

$ResultsFolder = New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path C:\Temp\$ProtectionGroupName -Force

$ResultsFile = "$Resultsfolder" + "\" + "$ProtectionGroupName" + " - " + (Get-Date -Format yyyy-MMM-dd-HHmm) + ".csv"

 

#Begin collecting data

$srmapi = $defaultsrmservers.ExtensionData

$srmpgs = $srmapi.protection.listprotectiongroups() | where {$_.GetInfo().Name -like "$ProtectionGroupName"} | Get-Unique

 

if (!($srmpgs))

{

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Protection Group Name entered cannot be found"

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Verify that you have entered a valid Protection Group Name. Exiting Script"

    break

}

 

$pgvms =@()

$vms = $srmpgs.ListProtectedVMs()

for ($a=0; $a -lt $vms.Count; $a++)

{

    $vm = get-vm -ID $vms[$a].VM.MoRef

    $pgvms += $vm.Name

}

   

# sort the array alphabetically and enter the results into a .csv file

$pgvms = $pgvms | sort

Add-Content $ResultsFile $pgvms

 

# Disconnect from vCenter

Disconnect-VIServer $vc -Confirm:$false

 

# Open the .csv file  

Invoke-Item $ResultsFile

 

I'd like to include extra information, Recovery Status, Priority, etc...

I've looked at the output from $srmapi.recovery, etc... but can't find what i'm looking for.

 

Anyone out there had any success with this already ?

Thanks

Problem with direct-connect plug-in on physical machine

Hello,

 

I have physical Win 10 enterprise, which is in workgroup. I have installed View Agent 6.2 and Direct Connect plugin.

For testing sake I have allowed all traffic from zero client IP.

 

Problem is, that I can't open connection to desktop from zero client.

When opening connection, zero client prompts about invalid (self generated) certificate, and prompts for password. After this zero client screen goes black for approximately 15 seconds, and returns to server selection.

I have screen connected to workstation. In beginning it shows login screen. When entering credentials on zero client, the screen connected to workstation goes to desktop, then to lock screen, again to desktop and finally goes to lock screen.

Behaviour is similar when screen is disconnected.

 

Has anyone else got similar issues? How should I proceed with this?

Windows event logs show now events about this, and I had no luck with view agent debug log.

Hi,

 

Need help to replicate 2 node Microsoft cluster .  I know vSphere replication is compatible with virtual RDMs so will change physica RDMs to virtual, but the RDM SCSI controller of nodes have bus sharing (physical)  enabled. The  How do I replicate such clusters having SCSI bus sharing enabled, since vsphere replication does not support bus sharing

Can VMWare handle 30fps for four-monitor Excel scrolling?

January 26, 2016, 2:16 pm

We've been told recently by VMWare that we cannot expect to see anything close to native desktop performance for Windows 7 VMs across more than two monitors. I was stunned to hear this, so I've been thinking of easy ways for the community at large to test this.

 

Here it is! For those fortunate enough to be running at least two monitors, try this:

 

1. Start up Excel (2010 or above), and manually expand the window across 2+ monitors.

 

2. Fill every visible cell and at least a few hundred more rows down with the formula "=RAND()". Remove the double quotes when pasting into Excel. This fills the sheet with a bunch of floating point numbers which I've found is by far the hardest kind of spreadsheet for PCoIP to scroll.

 

3. Try scrolling down and seeing if the scrolling is smooth.

 

For four 1920x1200 monitors, we can only ever achieve low single-digit frames per second and the screens are totally out-of-sync: one monitor will move down a row, then some other monitor, etc. The only real difference after installing an APEX 2800 offload card is that the screens are a bit more in sync.

 

Even with just three monitors the frame rate is grossly slow, in the 6-10 fps range. Only over two monitors do I achieve kinda/sorta smooth performance at around 18 fps.

 

This is the case regardless of whether we are using our V1200QP zero clients or a full-blown high-end desktop running the View client. All machines are cabled with gigabit Ethernet.

 

Anybody running at least three monitors get better results then we do?

host inventory in web client keeps disapearing

Hello everyone,

I have an open ticket with PSS about this but while I wait for them to investigate may get an answer here.

 

The problem is that when I click on a cluster in web client, I am able to see a list of hosts but as soon as I click on a host to manage it, the host disappears. I have to refresh the page from cluster view to get it back. We have done an inventory database reset with no luck. I also tried with different browsers and users and nothing improved.

 

Has anyone else experienced this? I am running appliance v6 u1b

 

Thank you

Not seeing a Windows app to add to VMware Applications Menu

Fusion 7.  When I select "Applications Menu" from the Fusion "System Setting" menu and click on the + sign, the RowPro application is not in the list to add to VMware's start menu.  However, I can run the application from the Windows 10 or Windows 8 start menus and can even run it directly from OS X Yosemite using the VMware's "All Programs" choice.  However, I cannot get it to be added to the VMware start menu and it does not appear in the Mac's Application Folder, which is really what I would like to happen.

 

I saw somewhere something that suggested that Windows applications have to be in Windows' "All Users" start folder, but that doesn't seem to be the issue since there is a shortcut to RowPro in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\RowPro.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks.

Polling Office 365 mailboxes from vFire

Hi,

 

I was just wondering if anyone has any experience getting this to work properly?

 

We're migrating from on-premise Exchange to 365 and when we have test migrated a mailbox polled by vFire we're having a few issues.

 

We have always used POP in vFire to get the emails, so we're continuing with this and this is how are settings look in vFire for the migrated mailbox now:

Capture.JPG

We have ticked "Use SSL" - as advised by Alemba - but leaving this unticked and it also seems to work.  Apart from this we haven't made any other changes and the mailbox seems to be getting polled and calls are being logged.  However...

 

In the server event log we are getting loads of error events like this:

Capture 2.png

All of these entries contain this:

 

Infra.Mail.Pop3.Pop3ReceiveMailHandler - Technology - JB Test -  ERROR: (Infra.Mail) Error in Infra.Mail

Infra.Rules.EmailInService.PollAllInboxes

 

The username and password are not invalid - as the emails are being POP'ed and calls logged, but it is still filling up the event log with these events.

 

Anyone else tried this and got it working with errors being generated?  I have raised this with Alemba, but they advised me that 365 is currently not supported, but they are aware that some other clients have got it working.

 

Thanks for any advise, Ian

Can't copy/paste Windows 10 serial

July 12, 2015, 12:31 pm

I'm using a German keyboard layout with a German Windows 7/64 version as host OS.

 

Whenever I try to paste the serial for the current Insider Preview version of Windows 10 from host to guest, the serial in the guest's input field gets changed. It looks as if the text which has been copied to the clipboard is converted to keyboard strokes on paste if the clipboard in the guest OS can not be used for pasting. (The guest OS is not installed yet. Hence, VMware tools isn't installed on the guest OS, either ... naturally.)

 

The process of converting text to keyboard strokes seems to be implemented wrong. I don't know what it does, but the text pasted into the guest's input field looks like it's been typed on a US American keyboard. So, in my case, "Y" and "Z" are swapped and some of the punctuation charcters get swapped, too.

 

Right at the beginning of Windows 10 setup, I did confirm the preselected German keyboard, language and region selection.

 

VMware, please fix. It is so annoying to be required to type cryptical passwords manually.

 

Skipping to enter the serial number at the beginning of setup is no remedy. Before starting Windows 10 for the first time, you have to enter the serial anyway. Similar result, except that the swapped characters aren't even inserted when pasting:

 

Key.png

(This is a public serial so there's no harm in publishing part of it.)

 

The yellow text reads: "Invalid character. Verify your product key and try again."

Good afternoon.

I used VeeamBackup 6.0 and ESXi 5.0.0. Backups created VM good.

After updating ESXi 5.5.0 I began to receive an error when backuping online VM.

 

 

Цитата:

Error: Client error: File does not exist or locked. VMFS path: [[vd05] srv-test/srv-test.vmx]. Please, try to download specified file using connection to the ESX server where the VM registered.

If the VM is offline, the backup completes successfully.

How to fix it?

PowerCLI 6 - Implicit remoting from local PowerShell ISE

Hi, I have PowerCLI 6 installed on vCenter server 6 but I want to use PowerCLI locally from my PowerShell or PowerShell ISE by implicitly remoting to vCenter server, similar to using Exchange Management Shell locally by implicitly remoting to Exchange Server. Installing PowerCLI 6 on my laptop is last resource but at the same time big overkill since implicit remoting is all about not having to install anything locally but "consuming" PowerShell modules on server itself - since in PowerCLI 6 we have several PowerShell modules for managing complete vSphere environment there must be some way to use these modules via implicit remoting.

 

How to achieve this? I would like to put these PowerShell lines into my profile script thus being connected to my vSphere environment as soon as my PowerShell console or ISE is started.
