Adding interfaces to an VRF gateway is failing with the following error.

 

From developer tools I collected the following API request and response NSX-T manager UI is sent and received.

Fusion 12 & OSX 10.15.7 Kernel Crashes

$

Like others have reported (after I discovered the posts after a long frustrating day of troubleshooting and trying various options), I am experiencing OS X kernel crashes on my iMac 2019 (40gb mem) after reinstalling everything new (OS and Apps).  I have read that this is an issue that was supposedly solved in 10.15.7 supplemental update - I am here to tell you it wasn't with my Windows 10 guest, at least with Fusion 12.

 

At this point I am exhausted by the troubleshooting and just need to get back to a stable state so I can get work done. My question is on the stability of Mojave and Fusion 11.5? Is that stable for people? Kernel crashes there as well? If good, I will rebuild all today to get back to that stable state. Thoughts?

 

Please don't ask me to do additional troubleshooting - I don't have time to wait for the back and forth dealing with this through the forum.

 

Thanks

Hello

 

I just added two new ESXI hosts to my Vcenter

 

Created a new Datacenter

and new Cluster

Placed both new hosts in the new Cluster.

 

My Vcenter is 6.7

 

My new ESXI hosts are 6.0

 

I am getting this error on my Data stores

 

Datastore is in multiple datacenters

 

I have  6 NSF datastores that I share with my first Datacenter  and Cluster which I have 8 ESXI Hosts.

 

Any one know why I am getting this error?

 

Can I share Datastores of my DatastoreCluster  from my DataCenter 1 with my DataCenter 2 cluster hosts?

 

They are accessing the datastores fine it is vcenter who has an issue with this setup  am I missing a settings or setup ?

 

Thank you

ESXi Command line

Hi,

 

I am trying to add a vmkernel adapter to distributed switch by the below command:

 

esxcli network ip interface add --interface-name=vmk1 --dvs-name=DVSWITCHNAME --dvport-id=PORT_ID

 

It is failing every time with error invalid port id. esxcfg-vswitch -l command shows that vmnic1 and vmnic2 of the hosts are connected to 636 and 637 port of this dvswitch.

 

How to determine what port_ID should be used to execute the command successfully.

 

Please help.

Repair Win10

Hey, I am trying to repair my win10 installation. I read I have to get into advanced boot menu for this. How do I reach this? Somehow F11 doesn't seem to work for me.

 

Any idea?

Does an VMFS 6 (Auto UNMAP) require SDELETE to work?

$
0
0

Hi, all.

 

I have a question while studying about Reclaim.

 

I understand that erasing data from a VM will only delete index files and not delete data from storage blocks.

So, in fact, to reduce the size of the vmdk file, we saw that after sdelete on Windows, you would need to use vmkfstool to perform UNMAP on ESXi.

 

1. Do I have to do UNMAP on the storage side after this? (Because data is actually stacked on storage blocks.)

2. Does the vSphere 6.5 (VMFS6) support Auto UNMAP, which means that Windows does not need to perform sdelete?

 

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Regards.

vCenter 6.0 Upgrade

$
0

Hi,

 

I am the network administrator at a school, and I need to update our Vsphere. We are running ESXi 6.0 and vCenter 6.0.  This set up was originally made by a consultant that the school no longer has a working relationship with.

 

After doing some research, I believe the only practical option is an upgrade to 6.7.  I would like to set up a test environment and practice the upgrade before attempting the actual upgrade. We have two Dell Poweredge hosts, and vCenter running on a physical Windows 2012 R2 server.

 

I downloaded ESXi 6.0 from the vmware download page and installed it successfully on a workstation. The upgrade of ESXi seems fairly straight forward – I will just burn the ISO to a DVD and upgrade from the console.

 

It is the upgrade of vCenter that is causing some confusion. The vCenter we have currently installed is a Windows application. It doesn’t need to use a web browser. The application is in this directory:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Virtual Infrastructure Client\Launcher

 

I have attached a screenshot of this application.

vmware.jpg

 

Here is the issue: when I download and install vCenter 6.0 from the vmware website, this directory and application is not present. Instead, it can only be accessed via a web browser. This is preventing me from practicing the upgrade and getting a good understanding of the upgrade process.

 

Can someone please explain why our current vCenter 6.0 is different from the one that is available for download on the vmware website? Also, I would greatly appreciate and advice or guidance on this upgrade.

 

Thanks, Chuck.

Hi,

I need to update VMware Vcenter Server appliance. I have PSC and two Vcenter appliances installed.

Do I have to upgrade the PSC first and then update the VCSA? Does the order matter?

 

Thank you, in advance, for any replies.

vSphere HA Cluster - Something is missing and I don't know what...

$

Hi all,

 

I have a newly formed cluster in my lab.

 

My cluster is composed as follows:

  1. 3x HPE DL380 Gen8. specs:
    1. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2670v2 10c/20t;
    2. 16*8GB DDR3 ECC (tot 128GB);
    3. 2x SAS 15k rpm 146GB disks as local swap location;
    4. ESXi is installed on a 32GB SD card;
    5. 530FLR-SFP+ (Dual port 10gbps SFP+ card flexibleLom);
    6. X520-DA1 (Single port 10gbps SFP+ card pcie);
    7. I350-T4 (Quad Port 1gbps RJ45 card pcie);
  2. 1x Dell PowerConnect 8024F 24 port SFP+ 10gbps switch;
  3. 1x HPE StoreVirtual 4530. specs:
    1. 12x HPE SAS 15k rpm 600GB SAS drives in RAID6;
    2. X520-DA2 (Dual port 10gbps card);

 

I used the 530flrs to connect to the SAN via the switch.

I used the 520-da1 and 1 of the 1gbps nics for my vmnetwork and configured the 1gbps port to be in standby for failover.

I used 2 more ports on the i350 to make a gateways network as I have a pfsense instance running on the cluster.

 

The cluster is up as of right now.

 

I installed ESXi 7.0.0 HPE Custom Image and I deplyed the relative VCSA on host1 to manage the cluster.

 

All guides I follow get me to the point where HA should be enabled but something is missing...

 

I have HA enabled now but cluster has a yellow triangle on it and says that there are a few VMs waiting for HA failover retry... whatever that means...

If then I head to HA monitoring I see that Host2 is the master and that there are no hosts connected to it........ O.O"

 

What should I do? I'm stuck.....

 

Thanks for any help...

Using older clients with Horizon 8

$

With the release of Horizon 2006 we are obviously looking at upgrading from our 7.12 environment. Currently checking all the pre-requisites prior to upgrade (note! you need at least a 2012 domain functional level for Horizon 2006!), I've been playing with the product interoperability matrix, and have noticed that (if this is correct) none of the previous client releases are supported with Horizon 2006. Is this really the case?  Do we have to upgrade all of the clients before we can roll this out?

 

We do have some older thin clients which only have the 4.7 client on and these work fine with 7.12 (albeit with some features not available), will these continue to work?

 

Cheers

I have the epass2003auto token and I have issues to. My host Os is Catalina and the guest Os is Windows 10 Pro. I connect the eToken to usb hub and I select it when i have started the guest os. It seems to recognize it as simple usb, but in not case as an eToken. The result is not to load the certificates!

16 bits texture formats are not supported in DirectX11 of VMWare workstation pro 16.

$

Wow! DirectX11 works fine on VMWare workstation 16.

However, there are some problems.

I am a game programmer. To save GPU memory in my game, some objects are using 16 bits texture.

VMWare's SVGA does not support almost 16 bits texture formats.

To be precise,

DXGI_FORMAT_B5G6R5_UNORM, DXGI_FORMAT_B5G5R5A1_UNORM, DXGI_FORMAT_B4G4R4A4_UNORM formats are not supported.

And DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8_UNORM, DXGI_FORMAT_R16_UNORM are supported.

In particular, DXGI_FORMAT_B5G6R5_UNORM and DXGI_FORMAT_B4G4R4A4_UNORM formats are still widely used in the game industry.

Are there any plans to support these formats?

boot camp with 2 external drives

Hi,

 

I am running the latest Player-Version 12.0.0 (16880131) but I also had this issue on previous releases.

I am running my Mac on an external ssd drive and have my bootcamp on a separated second external ssd drive.

I can natively boot into bootcamp without problems but I am not able to boot this partition in VMware Fusion.

The first error is always that Boot Camp.vmdk could not be found but I can choose it from the file list in the vmwarevm container.

After this I get the final error, that a blocking of resource has been avoided.

 

 

Thanks for any help in advance

Multiple Monitors Issue on Horizon Client 5.4.3 (macOS)

$
0
0

I am running the following:

Mac Book Pro running macOS Catalina 10.15.7 connected to 2 monitors -> VMware  Horizon Client 5.4.3 -> Windows 10 (this is the vm instance)

 

Since February, the only solution I could find too utilize both monitors was the have the Horizon Client window in "Windowed Mode" and have the window span the both monitors. Windows 10 (the  vm instance) just thought this was one wide monitor. It would scale correctly and was a good working solution for my work flow.

 

Yesterday, it all changed.  Now,  no matter the size of the Horizon Client window, the Windows 10 instance stays the same size. If the Horizon Client window spans  both monitors, it will display the Windows 10 screen in a square in the middle of the two monitors.

IMG-1307.jpg

 

This is what it looks like in "Full Screen" mode, which is way worse:

IMG-1309.jpg

 

I have searched a bunch to try and find a solution, but I haven't found one.

 

My Horizon Client settings are:

- PCoIP

- Resolution: Automatic

- Scaling: Automatic

(these are  the only settings I have available)

IMG-1310.jpg

I have tried to reinstall VMware Horizon Client with the same version (5.4.3) and even tried the 2006 version. (is there a way to fully uninstall other than taking the Application and throwing it in the Trash Can?)

I do not have control of the backend vm settings. These are controlled by my employer.

 

Please help. Don't understand why this just stopped working.
