Hi,
I have a subscription configured to run a workflow:
Data > Lifecycle state > Lifecycle state name equals VMPSMasterWorkflow32.Requested
Data > lifecycle state > State phase equals PRE
I also chose the folowing checkboxs: Blocking and Stop processing if the workflow fails.
However, If the workflow fails, the deployment continues and does not stop with a fail error.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Hello -
I've created a new Windows 10 instant clone pool and in testing I am seeing this yellow exclamation at the top right of office apps. When I click it, it says Account Error. Sorry, we can't get to your account right now. Then I have the option to sign in again to fix it. It actually says that I am already signed in, and Office does seem to be activated. When I sign in again, the exclamation goes away and things seem fine. Then when I log off and back in, its back, and it still says I am signed in.
My environment:
UEM 9.8
Office 365 ProPlus installed in master image (not app volume)
Win10 1903
I'm capturing the office license token with my own custom template for UEM, but other than that I am using what is provided by easy start for Office 2016.
We don't use SSO with O365.
OSOT Windows 10 template used after Office 365 install
Sophos Intercept X installed for AV/Endpoint protection
This is fixed by capturing the entire HKCU, LocalAppData and AppData areas with UEM. Now, that's way overkill and only for testing. I've used process explorer to try and figure out whats missing but can't seem to find it.
Any ideas on this? I would think many others would have had this issue also, but I can't find a whole lot. Short of re-doing the master image I'm running out of options.
Thanks for the help!!
I have a question about data upload from laptop to VMs installed on an ESXI host. The physical connection is like below,
Windows7, windows2016 and some other VMs have been installed into the ESXI host and work fine (ESXI + vpshere 6.7, RAID5 <eight 10K SAS disks>). Interfaces on the ESXI host and laptop are all 1gbps, but interfaces on SW1 are just 100mbps. A Virtual Distributed Switch is used to manage the virtual network and has two up-links connecting to SW1 as trunks. VMXNET3 used in all of these VMs as NICs and VMtools are installed too.
I am confused about the data transferring process:
1. Data from VM2 --> VM1 --> speed: 400+ mbps (very fast by FileZilla, directly through vDS);
2. Data from Laptop --> ESXI Host Storage Directory --> speed: 100 mbps (at the limit of SW1);
3. Data from Laptop --> VM1 --> speed: 10 mbps (too slow by FileZilla at this time).
Can someone help explain why this happen? I also wonder if there is a method to make it faster when I upload my data from my laptop to VMs on the ESXI Host.
Thanks in advance!

mais lors de l'installation du systèmes d'exploitation sur ma VM plus de disque , ni de carte réseaux. et je ne peux exécuter un VMtools, que faire ? merci de m'aider.
Hi,
I have below code working if I have existing vmfolder input, when want to add VM to inventory of cluster consisting data stores.
But, I want VM to be added to single esxihost directly and not to any existing vmfolder.
What I should pass in Location argument? Please help.
$esxihost = "10.xxx.xx.xx"
Connect-VIServer $esxihost
#$VMFolder = "Snap-Mirror"
$vm = @("Auto1.xxx.xxx.local")
$ESXHost = Get-VMHost $esxihost
#Write-Output $ESXHost
$Datastores = $ESXHost | Get-Datastore
#Write-Output $Datastores
# Set up Search for .VMX Files in Datastore
foreach($Datastore in $Datastores) {
$ds = Get-Datastore -Name $Datastore | %{Get-View $_.Id}
$SearchSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostDatastoreBrowserSearchSpec
$SearchSpec.matchpattern = "*.vmx"
$dsBrowser = Get-View $ds.browser
$DatastorePath = "[" + $ds.Summary.Name + "]"

$SearchResult = $dsBrowser.SearchDatastoreSubFolders($DatastorePath, $SearchSpec) | where {$_.FolderPath -notmatch ".snapshot"} | %{$_.FolderPath + ($_.File | select Path).Path}
#Register all .vmx Files as VMs on the datastore
foreach($VMXFile in $SearchResult) {

} }
} }

Hello. Please tell me how to identify a linked clone virtual machine. Before upgrading vsphere to version 6.0 U3h from version 6.0, the linked clone virtual machine could be easily identified, it was enough to look in vsphere console for the value of not-shared storage, it differed from the value of Used Storage, as in the screenshot below:
But after upgrading to version 6.0 U3h from version 6.0, these values become the same. But I know for sure that this virtual machine is linked clone:
What could be the reason? Is this a mistake or should it be now? I am confused.
Perhaps LucD can help in this matter? I hope to help any member of the community! Thank you in advance.
When I connect my esxi host by remote location give no peer certificate found
Hello, I've destroyed my VSAN lab, and rebuilt again, but I have VSAN connectivity issue between hosts and I get this message on each host:
Host cannot communicate with all other nodes in vSAN enabled cluster
My setup is as following:
I've fixed this issue earlier on my previous lab, but with this new lab I have that mentioned error. Though, mixing and matching the portgroup security settings didn't make the hosts detect the VSAN connection well/.
What would you suggest please?
Thank you,
Hi there
With regards to security patches, is it best to use the default System managed group that's created in Update Manager to patch vSAN srevers or rather to create a Custom group and to manually add ESXi and vSAN related patches when these become av
Here are the current versions of the software I'm running.
Virtual Center 6.5
Version: 6.5.0.23000 Build 11347054
vSAN version: 6.6.1
ESXi version: Installed on each node

Running workstation 10.0.7 on win10 home host. I would like to create a virtual machine from this host. Any hints or things to watch out for?
The new VM will be created on an external USB drive.
Do I need to turn off or disable any security services on the host first?

I am working with a customer who is unable to install the VMware Horizon Client for Windows. I have tried version 4.7 and 4.6.1. I have attached the error logs. There are a number of errors in each file but I am unable to determine what is really causing the failure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The client is Windows 10 Pro version 1709.
When I am loading virtual machine the machine crashes. The following is beginning portion of error log.

Hello all, looking for your expert advice on the best way to proceed with a really ugly failure scenario. We recently physically moved our lab to a new facility and as we were bringing things back online, found that we had lost a flash cache disk on two out of our five servers. To complicate matters further, we found that vCenter was sitting on a local disk outside of vSAN and it appears to have experienced some corruption on the disk because it fails to start with a "Unable to enumerate all disks" error. In researching that further, five of the twelve vmdks report an i/o error when trying to read them and the flat file is nowhere to be found. I thought we might be able to re-build the vmdks, but seems without the flat file we are out of luck (right?). Unfortunately there is no backup.
With regard to VSAN, my understanding is that when the cache disk fails the entire disk group is removed from service. That is what appears to be the case here. The failed flash disks have been replaced on both servers and there is also another flash disk on each that can be used. However it appears that the disk groups are still not in service because in the local ESXi console all of the disks are reported as not operational (see attached picture). Also many of our VMs are currently showing up in the local console as Invalid. I think the reason for that is probably because there is not enough storage on the remaining three servers to accommodate storage for all of the VMs. What is the best way to recover from this multiple-failure scenario while preserving our data? I am thinking of creating a new vCenter, putting all hosts in maintenance mode and then adding them to the new vCenter. Then I will replace the failed cache disk on each server using the new vCenter. Would that work, or is there a better/safer strategy? Also what is the procedure to replace the failed cache disks in vSAN to bring the disk groups back into service without losing data?
All hosts and vCenter are running version 6.5.
Thanks,
Matt
Can some experts here explain to me what are pros and cons to use these two products? Can Live Sync replace SRM?
Thanks!
Using AppVOlume 2.17
When trying to install Apps on the Provisioning VM (Win 10), Every installation goes wrong (Can't install any software).
I followed the installation guide so everything is perfect (compatibility with horizon, versions, steps, prerequisites,..........)
every time I tried to install software after entering the provisioning VM to provisioning mode, I got (you don't have permission to this location {C://program files/..........}
I tried to use several versions (2.1x) of AppVolumes but still same issue.

I got macOS Catalina beta 3 (I mean the developer beta, not sure if/how that is different from the public betas) running in VMWare Fusion 11.1.0 using the threads on this forum.
It was working well once installed. But as the thread said and my experimental attempts verified, there seems to be no way to do a macOS upgrade from within a Catalina guest VM (it renders the VM unbootable).
So I repeated the process with the beta 4 version of "Install macOS Cataline" and created a new VM. This worked the same way as the beta 3 version. However, after I install the VMWare tools, the VM kernel panics on boot. (I mean it starts booting with the normal progress bar, then shows the multi-language kernel panic screen.)
I rolled back to the snapshot of the freshly-installed state and tried again a couple times, with the same result.
I knew from the experiments with the b3 version that you have to install VMWare tools twice (for some weird reason) to make the /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Tools/vmware-resolutionSet 2560 1600 command function. And eventually, the OS stops the loop of kernel panics on boot, showing a "Panic Medic Boot" dialog indicating that kernel extensions have been disabled because of a bunch of consecutive panics.
At this point, I was able to install the VMWare Tools a second time. And it indeed did another series of kernel-panic-on-boot but then — voilà! — it booted up, and thevmware-resolutionSet command was now functioning!
So it took about 30 or 40 kernel panics in total, but I now have macOS Catalina beta 4 running in VMWare Fusion 11.1.0, and I can see the guest OS UI in regular "Retina" high resolution mode, and resizing the VM window (automatically sets the guest OS resolution, and displays in highres mode) works. (Full screen mode does NOT work.)
Anyway, I am just throwing this out there to let folks know it is somehow possible to get this to work. This post was originally going to just ask for ideas and if anybody had found a way to prevent the kernel panics while keeping a subset of the VMWare Tools installed, but while typing this I got the tools installed a second time and weathered the storm of panics and it started working. :-)
For the record, my host is a 10-core iMac Pro with macOS Mojave 10.14.6.
A co-worker at a microsegmentation gig pointed out that Controller Nodes frequently go to disconnected.
In Networking and Security I'm referring to Installation and Upgrade/Management/Controller Nodes.
I only have limited access and no ability to open a ticket on the environment. I wonder if anyone
on the forum had seen this before. They have many controller clusters - 10 or more whereas in
my previous environment we only had one and I've never seen this issue. The problem it
causes is when we want to publish distributed firewall rules - the rules will fail to push to the
clusters that are temporarily in disconnected state. The condition is always very transient
and comes back in a few moments. But it can cause a problem with publishing of the rules.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Is it a known bug? Other thought?
