Re: ESXI 6.7 won't boot Server 2016/Win 10 in 6.7 or above
I disabled secure boot because I thought that might have been the issue but it still wouldn't run. I would have though though that being MS images direct from their site they would be able to secure boot.

Re: Clipboard from client to RDS published app doesn't work
On your RDS hosts, look for "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Remote Experience\x64\VMwareViewClipboard.exe".
If it's not there, try a repair of the Horizon 7.5 Agent.

Re: vCenter Versioning
I'm not sure whether I understand what exactly you are asking for?
If it's about the currently used editions, check the licenses which are assigned to the different assets.
The binaries are the same, it's only the license key which makes the difference.

Re: Vcenter appliance failed , rebuild and add host to new vcenter
You do not use vds.
You can follow these steps:
Removing the ESXi/ESX host from the vCenter Server
To remove the ESXi/ESX host from vCenter Server:
- Click Inventory.
- Expand the Inventory as needed, and click the appropriate managed host.
- Right-click the managed host icon in the inventory panel and select Disconnect (wait for the task to complete).
- Right-click the managed host icon in the Inventory panel and select Remove.
- Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove the managed host and all its associated virtual machines.
Adding the ESXi/ESX host to a new vCenter Server
To add the ESXi/ESX host to a new vCenter Server:
- Connect the vSphere Client or vSphere Web Client to the new vCenter Server.
- Click Inventory in the navigation bar.
- Expand the Inventory as needed and click the appropriate datacenter or cluster.
- Click File > New> Add Host.
- In the first page of the Add Host wizard, enter the name or IP address of the managed host in the Host name field.
- Enter the username and password for a user account that has administrative privileges on the selected managed host.
- Click Next.

Scanner Redirection not working on Horizon Client for Linux
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 with the new Horizon Client for Linux 4.9 and I cannot get scanner redirection to work. it works fine on Windows 7 and 10 with the Windows client but not on Linux. I've also tried it on v16.04 with horizon client 4.5 & 4.8 and neither of those work either. If I have the scanner plugged in the Horizon Client crashes as soon as it connects. if I connect first then turn the scanner on - it crashes as soon as I turn it on.
Has anyone been able to make this work?
Thanks.

Re: Vcenter appliance failed , rebuild and add host to new vcenter
You can directly add the hosts to new vCenter server without removing.
It will throw warning when you add the hosts to new VC as these hosts are managed by other vCenter server which can be ignored.

6.5 fails to boot OVA imported VM because of bogus nvram file reference
Not sure exactly what the problem is, if that's a problem exporting the VM or a bug in that specific 6.5 version.
I use ovftool on Linux to export a virtual appliance from vCenter 6.7.
When importing that VM to older versions (6.5, 6.0) people get warnings during the deployment about unsupported options, which is ok, but then they cannot boot the VM because it's looking for a nvram file that's nowhere to be found :
Could not create '/vmfs/volumes/5a53fd58-f488e6e0-4129-0025b5aa0000/nabox-test/ovf:/file/file3': msg.fileio.notfound
It doesn't seem this VMware Knowledge Base applies because my VM isn't EFI.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Disk Consolidation Fails with File Too Large
Thanks for the replies.
I ended up fixing this at the OS/application level instead. As it turned out, the disk mostly contained the SQL tempdb files and logs. Once I got the downtime approval, I stopped SQL services and copied the data to a new disk, then switched drive letters between old and new volumes and rebooted.
This was easy because of the type of data, but the same could be applied to almost any kind of data as long as you know the consequences. It's very simple, but solved the problem and was quick.
Since that time we've had two brand new, very small VMs on the same data store which we were not able to migrate to different storage and change disk type without shutting down first. We got a "file too large error"). It seems something is up with that particular data store and I've let the responsible people know.

Re: Downloading a datastore folder using Powershell
LucD,
Thank you... I tried your script/procedure provided above. It almost worked. It did copy the entire folder; however, it did not complete the downloading of the vmdk files. Typically, a download of a vmdk file spawns two files - a small 1 KB description file and a vmdk.flat file that contains a complete data file dump. It seems like the GetDatasourceItem command cannot handle this backup file spawning. The small description file downloaded successfully, but all of my vmdk files are empty.
It gets this error when it attempts to back up the vmdk file to the vmdk.flat file:
Copy-DatastoreItem : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I am performing this backup using an active online VM. Does a VM need to be powered off, before performing a backup?

Action return being "converted" to object
Hi
I have a workflow with a few action in it. One of the actions returns and array of strings (link of vmnics). Then in a later scriptable task I am trying to add these vmnics to a vswitch.
In the below snippet NetworkData is my Array of String
var switchSpec = new VcHostVirtualSwitchSpec(); var loabBalPolicy = "loadbalance_srcid" switchSpec.numPorts = 1024; switchSpec.mtu = mtu; switchSpec.bridge = new VcHostVirtualSwitchBondBridge(); switchSpec.bridge.nicDevice = NetworkData;
When I run the workflow I get the below error
Unable to set property 'nicDevice' on object VcHostVirtualSwitchBondBridge : org.mozilla.javascript.NativeString
nicDevice is meant to be an array of string? Do I have to iterate through NetworkData and re-create my array ?
If I output typeof(NetworkData) is state the type as object.

How do I know which host has an issue?
I have the Skyline report. There's a "critical" priority message "ESXi host fails with a purple diagnostic screen and reports the error: tcp_input". It tells me which virtual center but, it doesn't tell me which host. Am I missing something?

Re: How to set up access to localhost from vm guest
That's odd - any of the networking options should allow you to see the host from the guest, and vice-versa. You likely won't be able to use name resolution, but IP address should work fine.
↧
Re: Action return being "converted" to object
Hi,
Which vRO version is this?
It seems the NetworkData is a string, not Array/string. Are you sure your action is properly defined to return Array/string? Could you attach your actual workflow + actions to check how the input/output mappings are defined?

Re: Operation is not allowed by the applied NSX license. Please check assigned NSX license and vCenter connectivity.
I found that if you try to apply the licenesein the HTML5 client, the NSX for vSphere does not show up, but if you use the FLEX client, the NSX lic does show and your able to replace the default NSX license.
