Good night,

Iam trying to create a virtual machine by installing the operating system on your ESXi version 5.5or6.0.I have selected a number of internet guides, which explain step by step how to setthe machine for installing the system:

RedhatLinux x64
4GB.RAM
20 GB. HDD
Just Host Adapter

I have two * .ISO downloaded from theofficial website of VMWare for each version above. Until here all right.

Initialize the virtual machine,I selectone of the images to be loaded and the installation begins, the typical yellowscreen with a message saying:

Initializating timing ....

And then this error will not let me continue with the installation and I looking at several forums but I can not find the solution.

Error ESXi.jpg

Thank you!

P.S.I'm doingthe installation for practice and learn a littleuse.

Removing orphaned and invalid VMs

I have a couple of VMs that were powered off. One is showing Orphaned one is showing Invalid. I believe they got messed up during an HA event. Needless to say, I really do not need these VMs anymore but just want to clean up vCenter. Will "removing from inventory"  take them out properly of vCenter? Like I said they were powered off and I really have no use for them anymore. They are actually on a datastore which we will be removing soon anyway so I need to clean them up.

esxi 6.0u1b, vmware tools 10.x

All,

     Upgraded from 5.5u2 to 6.0u1b and when tools has been upgraded to 10.x, it seems the guest o/s lose their DHCP IP address randomly, although it is 2 vm's out of 100 over the course of a day (vdi linked clones in this case), the guest resorts to 169.254.x.x address, a reset of the vm fixes this, however has anyone else seen this? 

 

I also noticed this with a 2012r2 veeam proxy server, when changed to static all is well.

AD authentication problems - big tokens

April 11, 2016, 4:27 pm

Hello,

 

I've been struggling with this issue for a bit, and wanted o see if anyone has encountered this. We have a few ESXi 6.0 boxes that we want to join to our domain so we can leverage our existing security groups and user accounts. Adding the servers to AD went fine, but I can't authenticate with domain credentials. I can search the domain for users and groups and add permissions for them, but if I attempt to log into a server with domain credentials I get "wrong user name or password" errors.

 

The following messages appear in syslog. I'm assuming I need to change the max packet size, and I believe that is located in; /etc/likewise/openldap/ldap.conf, but I get write errors when editing the file. Right now I'm looking at creating a VIB file to overwrite ldap.conf, but I'm hoping there is an easier way.

 

Any ideas/help would be life saving. Thanks!

Persona Management Newbie, is it stable? Will it speed up logins?

April 2, 2016, 4:31 am

We have been using VMWare View for three years with Windows 7 desktops and feel quite experienced with View

For the past month we have been working on building a Windows 10 desktop and have everything working well with the exception of login times

Since we use non-persistent desktops, every login is a fresh login. Login time under Win7 is 35 seconds. Login time under Win10 is 1:10

 

We are thinking about trying Persona Management as a method of decreasing login times. Two questions

  1. Will Persona Management significantly decrease login times? We are thinking it might hoping Persona Management saves many of the pieces that are put in place upon the initial login to a desktop, reproducing these quickly on subsequent logins
  2. Is Persona Management stable? We certainly do not want to roll out Persona Management to find out it is unstable, unreliable, and chews up time troubleshooting

Is it possible to access a guest virtual machine on my laptop without being in a network?

Hola!

 

Tengo una maquina virtual guest ubuntu en mi máquina host de windows. No tengo problemas en acceder vía SSH desde mi máquina local mientras esté conectado a internet. Me preguntaba si había alguna posibilidad de hacer un arreglo en el cual yo pueda acceder a mi máquina huesped ubuntu sin que tenga la necesidad de contar con internet o estar conectado a internet. Soy novato en estas cosas de redes y máquinas virtuales, por lo que si mi pregunta no tiene sentido, por favor háganmelo saber.

 

De antemano muchas gracias.

Hi!

 

I've got an ubuntu guest virtual machine on my windows host machine. I don't have any problems accesing my guest via SSH from my local machine, when I'm connected to internet. I was wondering if there is a posible set up where I can access my guest virtual machine without being connected to internet o being in a network. I'm kind of noob on these things, so let my know if this a silly question.

 

Thanks in advanced.

"Failed to connect" Reverse Proxy with ESX Embedded Host 6.0

I'm running ESX 6.0 update 2 and am trying to run the ESXi Embedded client behind an IIS reverse proxy (https://esx-host/ui/). With the reverse proxy, all is well, except that the Console functionality does not work, I receive a "failed to connect" notice. If I try to run the VMRC client instead, I get a 404 error. I've seen solutions were modifying VMRC settings could resolve the issue, but I cannot find where the vrmc settings would be on the ESXi host. The console works fine if I access the embedded client by IP or with the actual host name (without the reverse proxy). Again, I'm running just the ESX embedded host, not vCenter. Anybody know where or what setting I need to adjust on the ESX host to get Console working in the Embedded client (with IIS reverse proxy)?

 

I attached what I'm seeing. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi,

 

I'm trying (in vCO 5.5.2) to create a SOAP host with a custom WSDL generated from IPAM EfficientIP SOLIDserver,

 

I have the error "WSDL content is not allowed to be empty!"

 

Plugin SOAP is on version 1.0.3

 

It seems that my WSDL file is not well formated for vCO but i don't know how to format it,

 

Do you have some ideas ?

is there access point 2.5 documentation out there anywhere?

i fired up the appliance and gave it the basic IP info it needed but it doesn't work

i found a thread here citing a document someone wrote to get it going but the part about accessing the yaml file on port 9443 fails; doesn't seem to be listening on that port

when i look at the log file, it is filled with java failures and tracebacks which is probably why nothing seems to be running

from the time it boots, it's using 90% cpu so wanted to go over the documentation first then move forward

Start VM with Missing (unimportant) VMDK file / Ignore error

April 12, 2016, 1:49 am

Hey there,

 

I'm new in this community - but I'm using ESXi for a while at work.
Since I'm doing home-automation, I have now changed my system from a dedicated Server to a ESXi for failover reasons.
If the server does not run, everything still works but the comfort level and wife acceptance factor will be significantly reduced.

 

 

So as you may imagine, I'm trying to keep it simple and especcially cheap.

 

What I'm doing:

I got a server running the ESXi and the main Datastore from a 240GB SSD RAID one, where the main (primary) server harddisk is stored.
The virtual machine uses another disk stored on a RAID 6 which holds about 9TB of data. This is not mandatory for the server as it just contains stuff like movies, pictures, install-files etc.

So I'm backing up the server every night to a NFS store (NAS) with ghettoVCB, but only the primary disk. I really don't want to transfer all the data and as well don't want to provide this much "space" for the second disk.

 

This NFS is mounted to a second machine which usually is not powered on, the backup-file is registered there. It shall be started by Wake-On-LAN when the main host will not respond to pings for ~15min.
It runs the machine via Gbit LAN. But during powering-on, it complains that it is not able to find the second disk (9TB).

 

So as I really don't want to backup / provide the 9TB volume to the backup-system, I am desperately searching for an opportunity to either automatically remove the missing file entry in the VMX from the backup-machine (or NFS) or ignore this during the boot.
The internet did not really help here - so I hope for you guys here...


I would also try another option, but I guess this will not work / I could not solve it:
The disk is located here: '/vmfs/volumes/56fa85ff-5de4ab4d-0e90-bc5ff477ddff/DATA/M-Net_Server_1.vmdk'
If someone could tell me how, I'd "duplicate" this path on my backup-machine, I'd just put a "fake" (small) disk in it.
Thanks in advance,

 

Maeffjus

 

BTW: I know that I can manually remove missing disk with the vSphere-Manager. but as you might saw this should run automatically.

Hello,

I have been scouring the net and reading forums, but haven't been able to find an answer.  I am a novice VMWARE user, so I apologize ahead of time.

 

Here is my scenario:

1.  Laptop with LAN NIC connected to a corporate network

2.  I also have a WLAN card on the laptop, which has access to a DSL connection

3.  I would like to spin up a Windows VM, using VMWare 12 Pro.  I would like the VM to use the WLAN card on my laptop.  The reason being:  I want the VM traffic to traverse the WLAN, which is not on the Corporate network.  My team does Cyber research and I want that research done through a VM, that is not on the Corporate network.

Dear all,

 

one of my staff said she could not connect her desktop vm22 and the view client said "the view agent reports that this desktop source is unable to accept connections". my view administrator displays that “the pending session on machine xx for user xxx has been expired” . but i then assigned another user to the same desktop, everything looks fine.

 

background:

1. I am using view 6.0.   

2. This user used to assigned another desktop vm06. it took a long long time (more than 30 minutes) to login (agent set not delete local persona) , This Morning when she tried to connect(already logged in before, here just reconnect),  she got "there is no available gateway for this display protocol". So i assigned her to another desktop vm22

 

Is there something wrong with this user account or something else. Need your help!!! Thanks in advance!

Hyper-V migration to VMware ESXi 6

Hello,

 

I have a private testing enviroment with 2x Custom build servers, currently running Hyper-V 2012 R2.

The hosts are running some standard Windows VMs (2vCPUs, 4-8GB mem, etc...), but 2 of the VMs have each attached 9TB .vhdx for storage.

If im correct there was a limitation in the previous ESXi versions, only being able to attach a maximum of 4TB volumes to a guest VM - is this correct?

 

In ESXi 6 it looks like the maximum disk size on VMFS5 is 62TB, which is more than enough hosting the servers

https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere6/r60/vsphere-60-configuration-maximums.pdf

 

My question is:

I might want to migrate all the VMs on the Hyper-V hosts, to 2x standalone VMware ESXi 6 hosts.

I currently dont have a Hyper-V cluster, so i dont need any redundancy that the V-Center might provide.

What limitations (if any) will i get, migrating the VMs to 2x standalone VMware hosts?

 

Also what license will be best for my needs?

 

Thanks in advance

Fusion 8 Pro: Bridged networking not working (Shared works fine)

April 12, 2016, 7:29 am

I'm running OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and Fusion 8 Pro with a Windows 10 virtual machine.

 

I need to use bridged networking because shared networking doesn't appear to pass UDP broadcasts (or something else, I'm not sure).  However, when I enable bridged networking then I do not receive a DHCP address from my router and even if I manually assign an address it doesn't work.

 

The OS X machine is connected using wireless to an Airport Extreme (6th generation) which is then connected to my Ubiquity EdgeSwitch (ES-48-LITE) and then finally my Ubiquity EdgeRouter (ER8-PRO).

 

Everything else on my network is fine, and if I use shared networking then it works but my specific application doesn't work (which requires bridged mode it seems).

 

Can anybody help?
