Second VCDX Requirements

I've heard that for a person with one VCDX who wants to obtain a second VCDX just submitting a design is required - no more defending.

 

I am just trying to clarify - is the VCIX for the second track ALSO not required?

 

For example, someone who holds a VCDX-DCV would not need to pass the VCIX-NV to obtain the VCDX-NV?

Governance in VIO - restricting tenant's from breaking stuff (ie networking)

$

Hi all,

We are currently looking at VIO with dVS networking on a test rig.  We have been able to set up a provider network, which maps to a VLAN on our physical network, allowing our imaginary tenant (project) access to the outside world.

 

A tenant user (ie non administrator) is NOT able to create a provider network (good thing) however, it seems standard (ie non admin) tenant users do seem to have the ability to delete thier provider network from within there own project (bad thing).

 

Is there a way to "lock tenant users down" ie preventing a tenant from deleting provider networks from within his or her project?  I see "roles" listed in the horizon dashboard, but i don't see anything relating to this in the VIO documentation.

 

Cheers!

vCLUM Monthly Report Inconsistencies

$

Hello all,

 

I've been using vCLUM to meter and report my monthly vCAN usage for some time. I've recently retrieved some old reports going back a few months and am seeing inconsistencies.

 

For some background knowledge, every month I generate a Monthly Usage report in my 4 vCLUM appliances. I take this information and enter the usage values into a spreadsheet of my own making and then I submit the totals for my monthly vCAN usage. This has worked very well.

 

Unfortunately, when I pull these same historical reports from vCLUM now, it's not showing the same usage numbers. To be more precise, the numbers on average that vCLUM is showing is 20-40 less than what I reported for said month.

 

Has here seen an issue like this where it appears the vCLUM appliance has lost information? Starting this month, I'm using version 3.4 which I hope resolves this weird issue. However, the 4 appliances randomly showing this issue are all version 3.3.2.

 

Thanks for your help!

VMware Player Click Drift Causing Daiy Freezing and Dirty Shutdowns...

$

Hello All!

 

Thank you in advance for your responses!

 

I am getting vmware clock drift in windows XP VMWare Player.

VMWare Host is Windows 7.

 

I ran this VMware on other windows 7 laptops with

no issues. I have run it on the current laptop for the

past year with no issues.  I am  not sure if the daylight savings

change caused the issues....But now every day it seems to "lose time"

and then 24 hours ish from the time that it last froze from clock drift,

it freezes once again.  I have tried the syro time in VM Ware tools and on

and off, and that did not correct the issue.  Does anyone have an EASY and

FAST way to implement a solution for this?  I feel that if I have to keep shutting

down VMWare dirty everyday that I am going to ruin the image.

Mime attachment in vRA

$

Hi all,


I have created a workflow that uses mime attachment as an input parameter, to upload a .csv file. The flow works flawlessly and does what it is suppose to do.

Now I want to use the flow as a Service and I have uploaded it into vRA as a Advanced service. The problem i get is when run in vRA the mime attachment input gives me no option to upload the file. Is there a alternative to mime attachment?

The Flow in vRA should allow the user to upload a .csv file from him local machine and the flow should be able to read the file to process it further.


Thanks in advance.


Writable volume change with profile

$

Hey Guys,

 

Don't know if any of you read the release notes but I was shocked when reading the below part of the Writable volume change.

For us this was the unique selling point of Appvolumes and it's writable volume, not worrying about profiles and applications anymore and providing a pooled floating desktop

 

If they are to actually follow through with this it I would again have 2 points were I need to safe user data, 1 in the writable volume, 1 in the UEM Profile folder (and maybe even the redirected folder).

Also, something like an Offline Outlook file or settings stored in Localappdata will no longer be managed.

 

For me it seems like VMWare is actually killing it's darling here, no idea who ever came up with this brilliant idea.

Would love to hear other users point of view though.

 

 

 

Writable Volumes Profile and UIA+ Profile Templates support: From App Volumes 2.9, the support for Writable Volumes Profile and UIA+ Profile Templates will be deprecated. Cusotmers on App Volumes 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.9 (and any future 2.x) versions using Profile Only or UIA + Profile Writable Volumes Templates will continue to receive support for bug fixes through hot patches. Although using App Volumes writable volumes for managing end user profiles has provided huge benefits over traditional profile management solution with their speed of delivery and reduced IOPS, VMware UEM is a new paradigm in user environment management. This is the first step in integrating VMware App Volumes and VMware UEM to provide a more agile, flexible and mobile workspace for your end users. Support for Writable Volumes UIA templates will continue in the future releases. In addition to many profile management solution, you can use the following to manage users' profile instead of writable volumes:

  • VMware UEM with Folder Redirection 
  • VMware View Persona

Cisco UCS c240 Can't have a partition outside the disk

Hi,

 

I'm trying to install ESXi 5.5 on a c240 M3 UCS Cisco.

 

The local drive is a FlexFlash Raid 1 of 2 sd cards.

At the time of install, esx sees the local 30g card.

asks language, root password and when I click on install, it gives an error. (see attached files)

 

this program has encountered an error: parted util,  Can't have a partition outside the disk

 

I have 2 exactly configured servers, out of the box, same error... any idea?

For forks sake! - bin/sh: Cant fork error but have the HP-AMS 10.0.1 update?

$

Hosts stopped responding and showed as disconnected in VCenter. 5.1.

 

Attemoted DCUI logon - refused only sowing "/bin/sh: Cant fork"

 

KB/2085618 informs that an AMS version under 10.0.01 could cause this issue but we have 10.0.1-07.434156 installed on the hosts so this is confusing?

 

Any clues or anyone encountered something similar when we have the correct update?

iPad won't charge over USB with Fusion 8.0.1 on El Capitan

I'm trying 8.0.1 to see if there are less USB issues than with 7.1.2.

 

But while the connection issue is now gone I can no longer recharge my iPad.

 

When VMware is running (with one guest) my iPad will connect but show "Not charging". This continues even after stopping Fusion.

 

After a reboot my iPad will charge just fine but when I start Fusion the "Not charging" message is back...

Cannot view console on VM discovered via VCSA - "Failed to initialize SSL session to remote host".

Hi there,

 

I have a few ESXi 6 nodes connected to a VCSA. I connect to the VCSA via VMWare Fusion Professional 8.0.2 on OS X 10.9.5.

 

I'm able to see the list of VMs but when I click on one the console view stays black and I get a dialog that says "Failed to initialize SSL session to remote host."

 

How do I fix this? (Or diagnose it?)

VMWare Workstation not able to start

I found myself unable to use the VMWare Workstation 12 trial on `Debian` Stretch as well as on `Ubuntu 15.10`. It installs just fine, but when I attempt to start it, it simply does nothing, no error or anything else.

 

I came across this thread: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2550227

so I tried to `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglibmm-2.4.so.1/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, which allowed me to start the GUI, but it states that a required `gcc` version is not installed (which is) and won't let me proceed.

 

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

How do I get VMWare Workstation 12 running on my linuxb?

Guest with NAT networking: can't resolve hostname with SSH

$

Hi,

 

I have a Windows 10 VM running in VMWare 8 Pro. When using NAT networking, the VM can resolve DNS hostnames in the browser, but cannot do so from SSH (I'm using mysysgit's installed SSH). Under NAT:

 

(mingw64) $ git pull

ssh: Could not resolve hostname bitbucket.org: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

 

I get this with any repository, not just bitbucket. Switching to Bridged networking solves the problem, but de-isolates my VM from the rest of my network, so I would prefer to find a solution to the NAT case.

 

Thanks for any ideas!

Hello -

 

I'm preparing to run a clone of a Windows virtual machine running MySQL, and I'm wondering if I can hot clone the source machine with the database services running. Or is the recommendation to halt the database services prior to the clone?
