Question :
Ingore the question TESTING CDF INTEGRATION - DEC 13th 2019 Release
I attempted to replace my machine cert on my VCSA server. After a few attempts I gave up and performed a full certificate reset using the `/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certificate-manager` tool.
Now I'm seeing the following errors in the UI when looking at any Health or vSAN information. Anyone know how to resolve this? I upgraded to 6.7.0.40000 and that didn't help.
in my /var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/vsphere_client_virgo.log I see lots of:

Hello.
We have vSphere 6.7 u3
I opened this post because looks like i dont understand how should looks like update process for operating systems. Issue starting after some operations in catalog during OS update.
We have opened SR: 19080739611
The problem looks that.
We have now affected all Windows Server template. After some long troubleshooting what we have.
When client download VM to OVA by tenant portal and next try import to vCD process is hanging on 1%
on NFS we have VMDK capacity is 0:
After some time we have timeout... and task fails with specific description....
7 zip is not working to extract OVA (worked before we performed planned OS updates)
Working only WinRar. And after extracting OVA to 3 files and importing them by tenant or flex client is possible to import VM again.
Problem is not observed when we have a fresh template (created inside vCD). When we create some new VMs we can download and import OVA with success.(by tenant client)
The problem started after some time. Last time we observed this issue after Windows Server 2019 update. Maybe this is not related to the specific OS but some activity on vCD level.
The process which we performed during update ( i received this from our OS engineer)
## Update process:
1. Deployment vAPP from Catalog (in Public ORG for templates):.
2. Start VM with network ==> UPDATE OS ==> Stop VM
3. Add to Catalog (with overwrite option and with Customize Vm settings)
4. Deployment vAPP from Catalog (in Public ORG for templates):.
5. Remove network (ORG VDC Network) from vAPP and VM
6. Add to Catalog (with overwrite option and with Customize Vm settings)
Im not sure why we are twice time adding to Catalog... but this is normal operation in my opinion.
From GSS support we not received the good solution. Because "they don't know what we did exactly during this update process".... and suggest importing new VMs from vCenter...( maybe every month ? )
Problem not exist in Flex client... which will be not available in next vCD version...
What is strange OVA from tenant and flex client is different inside.... (exactly that same VM)
For importing those OVA to vSphere we have problems too... but for this, we have different workaround VMware Knowledge Base
For now,for vCD we have only workaround related to WinRar.
How looks like you update OS process ? in your environments?

Hello
I get the above error when trying to create or start any VM.
Permissions in Preferences -> Security & Privacy seems good; VMware are allowed full disk access and screen recording, accessibility, and Input monitoring.
In the VMware Fusion Service.log I have the following error:
Waiting for vmci kext...
Warning: FusionServicesWaitForKext: CTLIOCGINFO failed: No such file or directory
I've tried a complete removal of VMware, reboot, and reinstallation.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
logs are attached.

Hi All
Have been trying to create a script to simply count the number of NICs in a VM ?!? In all honesty havent a clue where to start ?!??! I do know there is a count 'property' but can't get to figure out how I can incorporate this into counting the Nics
Thanks ALOT in advance

Hi,
We are getting 504 errors while launching the VDI desktop and the VM is showing, VMware tools not running. THis is happening random for VM's in a cluster.
Any ideas..
Macbook Pro, MacOS 10.12.5, Fusion 8.5
Does anybody have the issue that the Webcam on the MacBook no longer works after using VMware Fusion 8.5. The solution is to do a shutdown, restart of the Macbook to have it working again. Any other solutions available?
Recently, like some of you, I've been going through the process of upgrading/migrating my services from Server 2008 to Server 2012-->2016. I also recently upgraded our ESX host to version 6.0, and will upgrade again to 6.5 (the newest version my server is compatible with) in the coming weeks when I can schedule a maintenance period.
Some of my VMs have now been going offline intermittently. I have to disable and reenable the NIC on the VM to bring it back online. I've been checking through windows logs but cannot find much. I've heard recommendations to upgrade VMware tools, which I've done for these servers.
What can I do to trouble shoot this?
Are there logs on the host that will give me data on this?
Thank you all.
Hi,
I am trying to use the "Download a vApp template" workflow but it does not work as expected. The workflow completes successful but looking at the download I get 2 files. One is the OVF file with the OVF file contents, and the other one is a vmdk file, however the content is exactly the same as in the OVF file. So it is not downloading the disk file, instead it downloads the ovf file again. In the API calls I can see it is only accessing the ovf file from the /transfer/ endpoint.
In order to troubleshoot this I created a small workflow which calls the downloadFile() method on the vAppTemplate object but no matter which filename I specify it always get's and dumps the OVF content.
Is someone successfully using this Workflow?
This is vRO 8.0, vCloud Plugin 10.0 and vCloud 9.7. I have seen this problem in the past with earlier versions as well.
Hi All.
I'm going to make my first Invoke-VMScript experiences. I have a bash script doing until now nothing usefull, but it works from command line in linux. It seems it works on a Win system running PWSH ISE...
Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText /opt/microsoft/powershell/ps_script/doPwsh.sh -ScriptType Bash -VM <vm name> -Debug
AUSFÜHRLICH: 03.12.2019 14:58:53 Invoke-VMScript Started execution

AUSFÜHRLICH: 03.12.2019 14:59:04 Invoke-VMScript Finished execution
DEBUG: 03.12.2019 14:59:05 Invoke-VMScript
But I have to terminate it by Ctrl-C and I get no bash outputs.
Why?
While monitoring one of our hosts we noticed network interface errors. Checked cabling but no problems found. Checked NIC stats and the errors are 'receive length errors' only. Tried updating the BIOS and NIC driver, to no avail.
Stats of the NIC after rebooting, receive length errors are slowly increasing:

Anyone has seen this before?
P.s this person has the same issue, and hasn't found a solution either:

Hi Guys,
We can't seem to remove a floppy drive on our VM.
We have tried so many times on removing it, but it keeps on coming back.
So we just try to disable it on BIOS, lo and behold, there's no disable option
This as been causing some issues with our Altaro Backup, as it does not take an Application backup due to this:

Any ideas on how can we remove the floppy device on our VM? We're on ESXI 6.5.
Thanks!
Hi,
i'm running two host esxi 6.7 and i have two vm which is install MS failover Cluster and DB cluster with RDM disk attach as shared storage.

My VM has two disks located on Datastore_005 and Datastore_006
The disk located on Datastore_005 is Thin
The disk located on Datastore_006 is EagerZeroedThick
I can convert the VMs disks from thin to thick eager Zeroed by:
move-vm MyVM01 -datastore Datastore_007 -DiskStorageFormat EagerZeroedThick
Is it possible to convert on the disk located on Datastore_005 to Thick Eager Zeroed without moving it to another Datastore while the VM is online ?
Hi to all, following my environment: • One OpenLDAP Server for domain "domain.com" • One Active Directory Server for domain "horizon.com" With a Horizon 7 for linux license, I have installed horizon connection server on a windows 2012 server under domain "horizon.com" Now I need to connect to horizon thin client (both horizon client and ubuntu client) with users under "domain.com". Is it possible? How can I connect users of "domain.com" to "horizon.com"? Thanks
Hi All,
We've developed a set of workflows that take a VC:VirtualMachine as one of the inputs. This is fine when using the flows within vRO, but we also have a requirement to use them within vRA.
The workflows have been published as XAAS blueprints within vRA, when a user selects the VC:VirtualMachine they are able to see all of the machines in all the vCenters configured within vRO. We need to limit this to display only the machines they are entitled to see, so for example a user from vRA business group a can select machines a1, a2, a3, a user from business group b can select machines b1, b2, b3.
We've had a look at the VCAC:VirtualMachine type, but that seems to display all machines as well. Is there a built-in type we can use that will do this, or will we have to "roll our own"?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim.
Hi,
I have powershell script for creation of bulk VMs. I want to turn this into a GUI via python.
One of the aspects I'm checking before I head down this path, is around spectific MACs.
For the enviroment I need to be able to define the MAC for each VMs NIC. As this is bulk creation, i need to specific and subsquently number the end of the MACs to match other details within the enviroment - so that verios conversion are all inline for easy understanding and troubleshooting.
In the Automation SDK, the closest I can find is:
Ethenet - update PATCH https://{server}/rest/vcenter/vm/{vm}/hardware/ethernet/{nic} Updates the configuration of a virtual Ethernet adapter.
But does that incluse setting a defined MAC?
Or is that an eixting tool for bulk managment of VMs where I can state MAC during the creation?
High level is Stat/start/restart/create/delete, but its the very details aspacts during the create that i cant seem to find any tools for - hense the creation of my own.
Thanks
We`ve been troubleshooting slow login and poor application performance on our Non Persistent VDI for a while now. App Volumes and Symantec Endpoint Protection doesn`t seem to like each other.
Without a SEP cliënt installed everything is performing well and user experience feels like a persistent VDI. When SEP is installed including all obvious exceptions and even using the virtual image exception tool no significant change in performance is noticed. We`ve been testing all scenario`s disabling components of symantec. Only disabling "Application & Device Control" seems to improve login and application performance.
Login times :
Symantec all components on + 3 Appstacks 2,36 Min
Symantec Application & Device Control off + 3 AppStacks 2,06 Min
Symantec all components on + 1 Appstack 1,51 Min
Symantec Application & Device Control off + 1 Appstack 1,25 Min
No Symantec cliënt installed + 3 Appstacks 0,50 Min
Anyone dealing the same issues? We can`t skip Symantec or move to another AV vendor. (large enterprise)
