Hello there.
I am using eSXI 6.0 and i have really strange problem.
When the esxi is loaded and i press ALT+F11 i see this error in red:
cpu1: 35250) Bootbank cannot be found at path `/bootbank`
Also i can not loggin into my vSphere client receiving error "503" and all of my auto turn on Virtual Machines are not starting.
I am so afraid, Can you please help me. What i have to do now ?
Hello,
I am using a shared folder in Linux guest (Ubutnu 14.04 LTS). I have mounted it in a desired folder through the command:
sudo mount -t vmhgfs .host:/NAME_SHARED_FOLDER PATH_OF_MOUNTED_SHARED_FOLDER
At the end of my work, before shutting down the system, which is the correct and safe way to unmount the shared folder??? (in order not to crash the system or having problems of instability....)
If I right-click on the icon of the shared folder and then click on "Unmount" I get this error message:
Have you got any ideas?
Thank you for your attention,
Francesco
I am wondering if anyone else out there is receiving this error when creating new VM's:
"The VM configuration was rejected. Please see browser console."
I have tried all sorts of VM configuration as far and cpu, memory disk type, disk controller type etc.
Any Ideas?
Hi all,
VERY strange issue that I've come across and can't seem to get my head around this .. so far I've tried diagnosing this for nearly 12 hours straight without being able to get to the bottom of it.
I'm running ESXi 6.0u2 build 3620759 (free license), on a custom build Asus P9x79 PRO running an E5-2660 Xeon and 64gb of DDR3 RAM. The system has four cards in it: IBM/LSI M1015 passthrough to a FileServer VM, an ATI X1300 boot graphics card, 2x Intel PT1000 Dual NIC cards and an AMD HD6450 Graphics card for passthrough. I have a Windows 10 VM which has been configured to use the AMD HD6450 configured in passthrough both Audio and Video to use as a test bench for a new type of system that we're currently building but don't have the actual hardware with us .. so we're shortcutting to get the development of the software achieved.
The VM has the latest VMWare Tools installed (via the console) and runs absolutely perfectly ... except when you decide to either reboot or shutdown the VM, the actual ESX host becomes unresponsive. Stops responding to network traffic, ESXi thick and HTML consoles don't response (naturally) but there are absolutely no errors on the screen, like a PSOD. It still displays the normal yellow console which is also unresponsive, so a very hard lock.
I've looked through the knowledgebase and found KB1030265 which I've followed and now have disabled interrupt mapping but this hasn't made a slight bit of difference.
Can anybody point me in a direction to either get logs from this thing or any suggestions to try and debug this? Appreciate that it's a tough call, especially since the hardware not everybody will be running etc but any experiences that are similar and things I can change/tune would be appreciated.
I'm tempted to drop back to ESXi 5.5 and see if that exhibits the same problem, which would indicate hardware faults, but I would have thought loading up the VM with 1080p graphics/sound would have caused a bigger issue than shutting down the VM.
Thanks
Dean
i'm using standalone ESXi 5.1U3 in my network

Hi there,
I've made instructions how to create CentOS 7 template for VMware vSphere 6 using these resources:
1) VMware Documentation for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
2) Understanding the Device Renaming Procedure
3) Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
What do you guys think? (proceed to link on GitHub)

Hi everyone,
I think this problem occur quite often among people using vCloud Director but I haven't seen any proper answer yet.
The fact is that I can't access the remote console of a running VM. When I click on it via the vCloud Director WEB portal, a window appears with "Loading..." message. After something like 10 seconds, "Disconnected" is written instead of "Loading...".
I've tried with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox but nothing changed (except Internet Explorer which asks me to install a pluggin but after that, nothing's better).
I have no idea where to look to solve the problem :-/.
Any help/suggestion would help.
Thanks in advance,
Laurent B.
Hello there.
Hello there.
Today out of nowhere it seems i have a problem.
On my server i have two hard drives. One the first i have the ESXI 6 installed. Today it takes way much longer to load and when it is loaded i can not connect with the vSphere client.
For luck i can connect via SSH console.
Is it possible that the hard disk which loads the ESXI (even way too longer) to be failing and for that i have all the problem. Is it possible ?
Is there any way that i can backup all VMs via SSH ? This is my only access.
Also i am wondering about reinstalling ESXI 6 and install it on the other hard drive BUT without loosing the Virtual Machines and the data stored in them.
If this is possible how I'll be able to run them after a successful reinstall ?
Also if the first hard drive on which now the ESXI is installed and it happens to be this hard disk failure does that mean that i can not save the VMs on this hard disk and the data stored in them ?
Looking forward for advices.
Please tell me if i have to provide some more information.
Also what command should i run in the SSH console so i can be sure that there is a problem with the hard disk ?
Thanks in advance!
Someone please help me. Im very new to the VM concept. I set up a virtual windows 10 on a surface pro 4. My integrated camera on the surface doesnt work inside the VM. How do i add the camera into the VM. I installed the VM tools and all other devices come up. Someone please help.
Thanks
Can someone at VMware please fix this annoying issue of no action being available in the forums on posts:
This error only occurs on weekends (saturday/sunday).

I'm playing around with SNMP on ESXi 6 and I'm getting the same issue on all 4 of my hosts when trying to return details about VMs running on the host.
I run the command
snmpwalk -M +/opt/librenms/mibs/ -m ALL -c public -v2c esxi-01.ksitechnologies.net vmwVmTable
and it always returns with
VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB::vmwVmTable = No Such Object available on this agent at this OID
I've also tried MIB Browser and it returns No Data Available.
My snmp.xml file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<snmpSettings>
<communities>public</communities>
<enable>true</enable>
<engineid>00000063000000a100000000</engineid></snmpSettings>
</config>
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
As anyone successfully created a stack for Visual Studio 2015? I have a working stack visual studio 2012 and tried the same steps on 15 but when trying to use the stack i get "trial period expired" and it doesn't matter if you enter your msdn info it just closes after hitting OK.
Are they any plans on updating the horizon view vco/vro plugin to work with Horizon View 6.2.xx? Plugin version 1.1 only works until 6.0 - 6.1 and 6.2 has been out for long time now/????
Hi.
I have memory related problem with VMware Workstation 11 running on Windows 8.1. The PC has 8GB physical memory and 2GB is assigned to the guest OS. While running Linux(CentOS) as guest, the physical memory usage that is displayed in Resource Monitor gradually increases.
What happened were the followings.
The above does not happen when guest OS is not running. I cannot find processes that use the increase of Physical Memory Usage.
This looks like VMware Workstation is enforcing Windows to leak memory usage. Does anyone know about this problem ? Let me know how to solve this.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am looking and searching for a solution to avoid CPU overcommitment that can happen through a host failure in HA cluster but I could not find.
anyone knows to can i keep a specified amount or ratio between vCPU to PCPU. Duncan deppingdepping wrote in HA deep dive that "HA initiated failover are not prone to the Admission Control Policy".
Exempel for what I am asking for
Cluster with 3 Hosts. Each host har 6 GB RAM and loaded with 3 VMs with 1 GB each. Result I have 3 GB free which is perfect , the limit is i want 2 GB free all the time
If one Host went down 2 vms can go to host A and 1 VM host B. Host A became with loaded with 5 GB ( 3 VM been deployed and 2 VMs comes from HA ) and has 1 GB which no satisfied the policy.
How can I let only 1 vm will be migrated to Host A ,the sconed vm to host B and the third VM will not be migrated.
Any help ?
I can login to the ESX server with the Watchlist app, however, when I Power On a virtual machine, it crashes the app. This crash occurs on a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0, build MRA58K. The app works fine on Android 5.1.1; it appears this issue is with the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. Thanks.
Скачал для экспериментов VMware vCenter Converter Standalone - попробовать сконвертировать физическую машину для переноса на виртуалку. Столкнулся с проблемой (экспериментировал на виртуалке под vmware workstation): можно сконвертить в образ виртуалки, но только под ws. А если есть необходимость переносить под esxi - нужна готовая установка, на которую сразу делается перенос. А что делать, если во время переноса у меня ещё нет установленного esxi? То есть (как я уже писал в другой теме) я хочу перекинуть винчестера с физического сервера (к моменту снятия дисков уже образ должен быть готов) на внешнюю СХД (только после этого можно будет ставить esxi)?
Есть у меня NAS, который сейчас используется для хранения резервных копий и останется с той же задачей, если получится собрать кластер vsphere. NAS не сильно шустрый и в качестве основного СХД не потянет. Для резервных копий - самое то. Сейчас сервера скидывают туда свои бэкапы по SMB, но есть возможность настроить NFS и сообверствующим образом подключить к кластеру. Как предпочтительно делать в кластерах vsphere? Есть также у этой железяки один минус - пару раз за полтора года пришлось её перезапускать из-за зависания.
I have Horizon 7 setup in my test environment and as far as I can see my setup has everything needed to create an Instant Clone Pool but when I go to add a Desktop Pool the Instant Clone option is greyed out.
I am hoping that someone has run into this in the past and can help me resolve this issue. Here is the situation.
I'm trying to Thinapp Office 2007 (Excel, Word, and PowerPoint) and include a business Objects application in the same package. This software is just a Com Add-in in Office that allows it to pull data from the backend systems.
Office is working just fine but the issue I'm running into is that even though when I go to the add-ins options in Excel, PPT, and Word it does show the plugin is loaded, I can't seem to get the add-ins tab to show up and the plugin doesn't appear to be working.
The Native application appears to work successfully on my clean machine both captured from XP and Windows 7 (XP capture was just a test since it wasn't working in Windows 7). However when I launch the Thinapp on the clean machine it doesn't load the add-ins tab.
I'm thinking its some sort of isolation issue but I can't seem to find the issue.
Thank you in advance for the help.
I have tried with and without these options to no improvements :
VirtualizeExternalOutOfProcessCOM=0
ChildProcessEnvironmentDefault=Virtual
