What does "URB greated than the max allowed URB size" indicate?
I'm using: VMware® Workstation 12 Pro 12.5.6 build-5528349.
I get this error message in a popup during the firstboot of a CentOS6.8 guest on a CentOS6.9 host:
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vmx)
VUsb_NewUrb: URB greater than the max allowed URB size.
Anyone have any idea what the error indicates?
This guest VM has been working fine until this most recent install of the OS, which appeared to be successful until the post-install firstboot.
The relevant section of the log seems to be:

Migration Path from vCS 6.0 Embedded to vCSA 6.5 External
Hi. We're currently running vCenter Server (Windows) 6.0 Build 3016447 with an embedded PSC and a local SQL installation.
I'd like to get this migrated to a 2x vCSA setup, with 2x external PSC, using PostgreSQL, with ELM.
Would really appreciate thoughts on the best method of getting "from A to B".
Should we split out the PSC role now, then upgrade to 6.5? or vice versa?
Ideally I would like to keep all VM IDs, and data in tact as we have Veeam and I don't want to cause full backups if I lose CBT data.
Thanks

Need help, Unable to find some information using vim25 SDK
Hi, Guys,
We used to use powerCLI to collect some useful information from vSphere, and now we want to find the same information using vim25 SDK, but we are not able to find the following items.
Can anyone help to tell if they are available in SDK, if so, where can I find them?
Thanks

Add user to Snapshot report
I have a weekly snapshot report run that uses the following script:
$snaps = @()
$currsnaps = get-vm | Get-Snapshot | Select VM, Name, Created, SizeGB
$css = "<style>BODY{font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;}
TABLE{border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;}
TH{border: 1px solid black; background: #dddddd; padding: 5px;}
TD{border: 1px solid black; padding: 5px;}</style>
"
foreach ($snap in $currsnaps){
$user = ($snap.VM | Get-ViEvent | ?{$_.CreatedTime -match $snap.Created} | ?{$_.FullFormattedMessage -match "snapshot"}).Username
If ($snap.Name -ne "__GX_BACKUP__"){
$builder = New-Object System.Object
$builder | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name VM -Value $snap.VM
$builder | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name SnapName -Value $snap.Name
$builder | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name TimeStamp -Value $snap.Created
$builder | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name SizeGB -Value $([math]::floor($snap.SizeGB))
$snaps += $builder
}
}
I've tried adding the following code to include the user that created the snapshot.
$builder | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name CreatedBy -Value $user.UserName
$builder | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -Name CreatedBy -Value $user
I've also added .AddSeconds(-5) to the $snap.Created, along with .AddMinutes(5). When I add -MaxSamples 5 the script errors stating a parameter cannot be found that matches MaxSamples.
When I try to add the above code the user name does not show up in the final report.
However, when I run this script, the output displays the domain\username every time.
foreach ($snap in Get-VM | Get-Snapshot)
{$snapevent = Get-VIEvent -Entity $snap.VM -Types Info -Finish $snap.Created -MaxSamples 1 | Where-Object {$_.FullFormattedMessage -imatch 'Task: Create virtual machine snapshot'}
if ($snapevent -ne $null){Write-Host ( "VM: "+ $snap.VM + ". Snapshot '" + $snap + "' created on " + $snap.Created.DateTime + " by " + $snapevent.UserName +".")}
else {Write-Host ("VM: "+ $snap.VM + ". Snapshot '" + $snap + "' created on " + $snap.Created.DateTime + ". This event is not in vCenter events database")}}
How can I integrate the code that works from the 2nd script into the 1st script?

vAPI Endpoint startup fails during PSC 6.0u2 to 6.5d upgrade
The 6.5d target VCSA instance fails to start vAPI service at 66% of stage 2, step 2 in installer.exe wizard from the VCSA .ISO at firstboot and my upgrade fails. Our topology is 2x 6.0u2 external PSCs at different sites in enhanced link mode that are working fine in the environment and appear service healthy and no less than 20% free space on any internal partition. The exact error from the wizard is:
--------------------
An error occurred while starting service 'vapi-endpoint'
Failed to start the vAPI Endpoint Service
Failed to configure vAPI Endpoint Service at the firstboot time
Resolution
Please file a bug against VAPI
--------------------
It doesn't look like a network problem since the wizard gets through the network verification settings and I've verified that the machine running installer.exe has functional DNS to everything involved, but just to confirm, I've tried:
- using an ephemeral port group instance of our management VLAN on the distributed switch, as installer.exe requests (but not a standard switch yet)
- using straight IP addresses instead of FQDN because I've had other VMware products cause this grief before during setup
- entirely disabling the Windows firewall
- running the installer as a domain admin of the domain our PSC is configured to talk to over LDAP as an identity source (it is not joined to the domain, however)
I opened a support case with VMware a week ago / last Wednesday, but they have been very slow to give in and ask for logs to escalate up to engineering. PLEASE, has anyone else had this issue and what helped get you through the PSC upgrade?
Support told me to look at this, but we don't have any GPO under software restrictions at all so it does not seem relevant:
Windows vCenter Server 6.5 installation fails while configuring the vAPI EndPoint Service
Does anyone know if the installer.exe invokes Java from an internal bundle or if Java must be installed in Windows as a prerequisite?
Thanks for any ideas... at all.

Logical Routing Components table in the NSX Design Guide
Anyone know who's responsible for the Design Guide?
Page 53 / Figure 45 has some issues, like
only 6 numbers in the graphic, but 8 called out in the explanation
the description for 4 refers to redistributing OSPF but "4" in the graphic shows a "Control" arrow from the DLR VM to the Controller cluster
The descriptions for 4 and 5 can merge into a giant "3' description
then renumber description 6 to 4, 7 to 5 and 8 to 6. This lines up the descriptions with the graphic.
Also, if it could be rewritten to call the "control VM" the "DLR appliance" and refer to the Controller VM assigned to be the master for the DLR as something specific so you don't get confused by statements like
"The controller leverages the control plane"
"The DLR Control VM can be configured"
"the IP address assigned to the control VM"
"The DLR control VM pushes the IP routes learned from the NSX Edge to the controller cluster"
from the graphic: "Controller Cluster"
Even a uniform capitalization format would be helpful.

To Stretch or not to Stretch.....
I am doing a design for a customer for customer who is deploying 10 vSAN environments. The first 8 are standard 'single DC' vSAN's which I have quite a bit of experience of building.
9th Site
The 9th site consists of two computer rooms approximately 500meters apart, connected by 10Gb Fibre.
As I see it I have two options:
- 1 - Deploy a standard Hybrid vSAN with two fault domains - one in each computer room (each containing 2 or 3 hosts (TBC)).
- 2 - Create a vSAN 6.6 Stretched Cluster with a remote witness
The DC's have sub2ms latency between them, and each have their own internet feed. For simplicity I'm thinking of going for option 1, but can anyone offer any other input?
10th Site is identical to 9th Site, but 'All Flash'
Thanks in advance

How to change option to Launch Console via VMRC or In-Browser
I have a VCSA/vsphere 6.5 deployment and am using firefox. When I launch firefox on a windows host and connect to the vcenter server url flash based web client as the default user administrator@<domain.local> the console always launches within the browser i.e it does not launch using the Vmware Remote Console utility. However, when I login as root to the vcenter it somehow always launches the console using the Vmware Remote Console Utility.
Q1. Is there a way to change the above behavior within windows or within firefox?
Q2. On a similar note when I launch firefox on a Mac and connect to the vcenter url flash based web client it always uses the VMRC utility. Is there anyway to change this on a Mac as well?
Separately, it seems that the console options are different when you connect to vcenter or to the host directly in the HTML based utility.
When you connect to the ESXi host directly and choose the html5 based option and then try to launch a VM console the options are
a) Open browser console
b) Open console in new window
c) Open console in new tab
d) Launch remote console
e) Download VMRC
These same options are not there when you connect to vcenter url and choose the html 5 client.
Q3. What is the reason for this difference?
Thanks

Placeholder labels shown in vSphere Web Client 6.5
Hi,
All of the tasks on our vSphere web client (Both flash and HTML5) show as long convoluted labels instead of the actual description.
It's identical to the issue reported here:
Task name is shown different on vSphere web client 6.0 and vsphere client 6.0
We're on the latest 6.5 build (5318154) of the VCSA and it affects task names and host profiles.
Oddly I've got a test vCenter server that is on the same build that doesn't have the issue.
I thought it was because I seemed to be missing the /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/cmCatalog folder and contents but copying that across from my working vCenter server doesn't fix the issue.
Anybody any ideas?

Stale Privileges
Hi,
We are using vCenter 6.5 and registering our plugin that adds privileges to the privilege list. On unregistering the plugin, we still see those privileges remain on the vcenter, is there any way to completely remove privileges that remain on vCenter. This is more noticible if the privileges are updated in a newer versions, the old privileges remain though they are not going to be used. I have looked through logs, and files on vCenter after SSh'ing into it, but no luck. Is there any way to clean this up?

Windows 7 Explorer Links/Favorites
So this is kind of an oddity and isn't necessarily a UEM issue, but I imagine I will need to use UEM to fix the issue. So the problem is that we run non-persistent desktops and the Explorer Favorites/Links (not IE favorites) do get stored but there is an issue. When a user logs in the first time to Windows the Desktop, Downloads and Recent Places links get added to the Favorites list. In our non-persistent desktops even if a user removes these shortcuts at next login they get created again. Also, if a user links My Documents, My Pictures or My Music those will not get added to the list at next login. All other locations will including the library folders of Documents, Pictures and Music.
For instance this works:
This does not:
In this case at next login the My Documents, My Music and My Pictures links would not exist. Desktop, Downloads and Recent Places will always be created at login.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
