I messed up... I enabled UEFI Secure boot and now my Win 10 Image won't boot!

I'm, hoping someone can lead me to where I can recover.  I was seeking better performance for a VM I have been using for quite some time.  I shut it down, then went into the settings gave it 4 cores and boosted the memory.  i then upped the disk size from 60 Gig to 100 Gig and pre-Allocated the disk space.  Somewhere in all this I went to Advanced and selected "Enable UEFI Secure Boot" without reading the warning.  Why?  I have no idea.  Here is the manner in which it boots now...

And then it changes over to this.  It obviously can't find the Operating System...

Any ideas?  I have went back on the settings and it doesn't seem to be able to go back in time.  Another alternative is to get the image from my backup.  But it would be nice if I don't have to do this.

 

Thank you...

Re: Removing bootcamp partition after creating VM with Fusion

I think I figured it out.  I used the importer, which made a copy of the bootcamp OS, and explains why the vm is taking up so much space on the mac partition.

Hi, we're implementing SRM on existing infrastructure. Client has Storage Array on protected site using Netapp, then the recovery site will use Dell Compellent. Is SRM will work with different Brand of Storage?

 

Thank You

It was working for 2 months. recently I updated the esxi license and the adcs role which was installed in connection server was removed. I checked the debug logs and found

When I run this, I also get 2 files for a VMDK, but the -flat file is copied as well.

Could it be that there has been a timeout?

You could play with the timeout value via the WebOperationTimeoutSeconds on the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet.

Just run cmd as Admin and type

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

and REBOOT

 

this will fix

and if you need hypervisor for something like windows emulator tools in visual studio just re-enable when you need by typing

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

and REBOOT

 

Credential Guard is enabled by hypervisor, and when you disable hypervisorlaunchtype, it disables it. No there is no way to use VMWARE Workstation 14 with this enabled, because they don't support the use of stubs to access hardware through their VMs yet. Anyway, microsoft virtualization sucks so, disable it and keep using VMWARE as it is the fastest one on the market.

Hi kelvindp,

 

this will work only if you use vSphere Replication to replicate VMs from a datastore provided by NetApp to a datastore provided by Dell Compellent. Protocols can be different.

 

To use array based replication one needs to have storage arrays from the same vendor and the same make (at least typically, but with some exceptions)

Not sure what you are trying to do here.

 

Do you want the report for all clusters in 1 HTML file?

Or do you want to have 1 HTML file per cluster?

Re: Help with VMWare Delta file

Hi,

 

Thanks for the Reply.

 

I tried "ls -elisa > filelist.txt", get an error: ls: invalid option -- e

 

I have a flat file : VMSRV008_1-flat.vmdk

and a delta file : VMSRV008-000002-delta.vmdk

 

I recreated the desriptor vmdk for the flat file (VMSRV008_1.vmdk)  and for the delta file(VMSRV008_1-000002.vmdk).

If I add a disk the the VMSRV008, i see only the Descriptor of the Flat file((VMSRV008_1.vmdk) . Normally I should see the Descriptor file of the Delta (VMSRV008_1-000002.vmdk).

If I add a disk with only VMSRV008_1.vmdk, I see old data from years ago. Can you please help?

 

This are the 2 Descriptor file:

1) vi VMSRV008_1-000002.vmdk

# Disk DescriptorFile

version=1

CID=e4df81c3

parentCID=8a6b0dba

createType="vmfsSparse"

parentFileNameHint="VMSRV008_1.vmdk"

# Extent description

RW 41943040 VMFSSPARSE "VMSRV008-000002-delta.vmdk"

 

 

# The Disk Data Base

#DDB

 

 

ddb.toolsVersion = "7304"

 

 

2) vi VMSRV008_1.vmdk

# Disk DescriptorFile

version=1

CID=8a6b0dba

parentCID=ffffffff

createType="vmfs"

 

 

# Extent description

RW 41943040 VMFS "VMSRV008_1-flat.vmdk"

 

 

# The Disk Data Base

#DDB

 

 

ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4"

ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 92 dd 40 28 d2-d8 db 3b af f6 67 91 a6"

ddb.geometry.cylinders = "2610"

ddb.geometry.heads = "255"

ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"

ddb.toolsVersion = "7304"

 

Can you please help? What do I wrong?

Re: Help Desk (7.4) & Local Administrator Permissions

HI,

I think we can change group policy to fix this issue.

Here is a blog User Account Control Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop (Windows 10) |…  talks about the UAC which related with the remote assistant problem.

 

I have tried this method and work fine for  windows 7

Following steps need to apply:

1. open group policy edit.

2. go to windows Settings-> Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options

3. find "User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop", and enable it.

 

Then remote assistant works fine. And administrator can see the UAC message from his console.

Re: vco 7.4 maven repository unavailable

Hi,

 

The first problem is the port number.

  • vRO server is accessible on port 8281 in case of vRO standalone appliance
  • vRO server is accessible on port 443 in case of vRO embedded in vRA appliance

 

The second problem - in case of vRO embedded in vRA appliance, I think there is no hosted Maven repository available. I'm not 100% sure (have to double check this), but in this case you'll have to deploy a standalone vRO appliance.

 

Another possible problem you can hit is that the newer Maven versions could have issues with the latest Maven archetype plug-in. You can resolve it by forcing Maven to use the slightly older version 2.4 of this plug-in; if you are unsure how to do so you may check eg. https://communities.vmware.com/message/2707795#2707795 or https://www.virtualvcp.com/vmware-vrealize-automation-vcac/229-vro-plugin-development-getting-maven-to-work

Hi SupreetK,

 

Thanks for the below, noting that we already applied this driver but with no luck.

 

It seems this driver is for vSphere 6.5, and we are using 6.7 version with HPE Synergy Modules. as per the following https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=1010083017&docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-a00046938en_us  "An updated version of the driver for VMware ESXi 6.7 will be released in the future" (Release Date:  2018-08-13).

 

Do you have any idea if a new driver released ?

 

Please advise,

Hi stgepop,

Thank you for your help, I've just confirmed from my client that we will use vSphere Replication, not Array Based Replication.
