VMWare Resolution Issue on Chromebook Pixel 2015

Hi everyone -- I am a new owner of a Chromebook Pixel 2015 and am going back and forth on keeping the device.  I think potentially solving this issue might sway me to keep it.  I use VMWare for my job and when I try launching the app I have a weird scaling issue.  I know I'm on a high-res screen, but normally it scales just fine.  This is what happens when I launch the app: http://i.imgur.com/MtynrXo.png

 

Any and all help would be appreciated.  I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, changing the resolution settings, etc.  I've seen other questions on this message board from fellow Pixel owners so I'm wondering if it's a bug with the current version (those posts are a little earlier) or something else.

 

Thanks so much in advance!

vSphere replication with SRM ports

Hi,

 

I would like to confirm the ports used by vSphere replication and SRM for replication, i understand that replication happens directly between the protected sites ESXi host kernel and the remote sites Replication appliance. When i look at documentation i see that the suggested ports used for replication traffic is 31031 but when we look at our monitoring tool we see that the source port is 12198 /95/96/97 and the destination port is 31031.

 

I cant find any documentation relating to these 121xx source ports could someone confirm??

vCenter upgrades

Hello all,

 

Quick question, at least I hope it is!

 

I need to do a number of upgrades to vCenter since a recent migration to new servers.  My current version is 5.5.0 2646482

 

I've looked on the VMware site and there are 13 different updates for vCenter starting at 5.5.0b and ending with 5.5.0U3b

 

My question is it simply a case for me to start with 5.5.0b and install each one in order? Or is there another way to do it that may be easier/shorter?

 

Many thanks,

Ross

I currently have a license for Fusion 8 for my MacBook Pro but plan to sell it and replace it with a Windows laptop.  Is there a way to transfer, in part at least, my license to a Windows vmware product? If possible this would allow me to preserve what I spent on Fusion.  If not, can the license be sold or transferred to someone else?

Horizon Access Point Appliance - glibc patch

All,

 

I'm trying to get the glibc patch installed (listed here: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2144090) on the access point appliance 2.0.1. However, I'm finding that rather difficult since SSH is not working. The sshd is present on the appliance, but even after starting the service, trying to SSH to the appliance doesn't work. I tried setting PermitRootLogin set to Yes on the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, but the SSH connection keeps error'ing out with message "software caused connection abort".

 

I found that iptables is not set to block anything on the appliance. Nothing is blocking SSH port from my internal network to where the appliance is sitting. How am I supposed to get the glibc patch installed if I can't get the rpm file uploaded to the appliance?

 

Thanks,

Export and Import of Resource Pools using PowerCLI

February 10, 2014, 2:45 am

I'm faced with a task of rebuilding a fresh vCentre server and bringing across all the ESXi hosts and VMs.

I've got scripts in place to export virtual machine notes and annotations, folders, permissions etc. However, I'm struggling to finding something to handle the nested resource pools.

 

Problem seems to be the export of the resource pools doesn't show the whole 'path', so when I try and import these back into the vCentre I get a lot of failures due to the resource pool already existing, and everything is created at the top level.

 

eg.

 

Client A

     Gold

     Silver

     Bronze

 

Client B

     Gold

     Silver

     Bronze

 

etc.

 

so the script I have actually create 5 resource pools - Client A, Client B, Gold, Silver, Bronze - all created at the top level.   Consequently, I get errors when it tries to create Gold, Silver and Bronze for the second time.

 

Is this something I'm going to be able to get working, or is it a manual task I'm faced with?

unable to upload ISO files to vcloud air through OVFTOOL

Hi,

 

I am new to vcloud air and am looking at the feasibility of moving our testbeds to the cloud.

 

I am trying to install some Cisco Unified Communication Manager Virtual Machines, but am unable to even load the .iso files to the catalog.

 

I successfully downloaded and installed the OVFTOOL (VMware-ovftool-4.1.0-2459827-win.x86_64.msi) on a windows 10 machine. However when I execute the script with all required parameters to upload the .iso file I get the following error message:

 

Opening Media source: E:\Temp\OVA\ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso

Error: Missing media, vappTemplate, or vapp key in locator

Completed with errors

 

See below for the script as executed:

 

C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool.exe --sourceType="ISO" "E:\Temp\OVA\ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso" "vcloud://XXXXXXX@gmail.com:PASSWORD#@de-germany-1-16.vchs.vmware.com?org=0866183f-d9aa-4a9c-a313-640f968d0640&vdc=VDC1&catalog=default-catalog&media=ubuntu.iso"

 

Has anyone experienced this before or have a way to debug the problem?

Configure vSwitch to always forward layer 2 traffic to physical switch

Hello,

 

For non-technical reasons that I can't discuss here, I need to investigate the possibility of configuring a virtual switch on ESXi to always send layer 2 traffic to a physical switch, even for switching traffic between two VM's that share a layer 2 domain residing on the same host. Or to put it in other words, all egress VM traffic must be forwarded to the physical network at all times. Is this possible with standard or distributed switches?

 

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Our vCenter Server in 6.0.0 U1b and it's a Windows 2012 Server.

 

My problem is, the VM admins have access to their VM's but when they go to look at the performance charts they get the message...

"Permission to perform this operation was denied.

You do not hold privilege "System > Read" on folder vcenter-server-name"

 

They have the ability to power on/off their VM and they show up in thier list.

 

Any ideas?

vROPs 6.2 VM Tags gone

February 11, 2016, 11:35 am
$

vROPs 6.1 had all my VM tags and was working great.  I used the tags to label VM's by customer and generated a report for billing using the tags so billing could verify the VM configuration matched the invoices.  (I know, Chargeback Manager, don't ask).  Then I upgraded to 6.2 and vSphere Tags (Summary|vSphere Tag) is missing as well as # of Hard Disks.

 

Environment:

I inherited vROPs and have been doing in-place upgrades using the method in the release notes to download the PAK files etc.

11/12/2015 06:59:20 PM logbuildversion Build Version: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 6.1.0 Build 3037951

01/29/2016 05:22:13 PM logbuildversion Build Version: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 6.2.0 Build 3445399

02/11/2016 12:22:26 PM logbuildversion Build Version: VMware vCenter Operations Manager 6.2.0 Build 3528867

 

Two vCenters monitored by vROPs.  One version 6.0 build 3339083 and the other 5.5 build 1945274 (don't ask)

19 hosts (ESXi versions 5.0, 5.1, majority 5.5, a couple 6.0 U1a testing)

About 215 active VM's depending on the day.

 

Troubleshooting & Symptoms:

the VMs with tags are on the vCenter 6 environment running on 10 hosts with 3 different versions of ESXi 5.5-2302651, 5.5-3248547 & 6.0-3380124

The report does not show the tags so this eliminates any browser issues from the equation.

I tried waiting longer to see if the data just had to be re-populated.

I validated that the vSphere Adapters were still registered and working. 

Changes made that are reflected in the same report such as vCPU assignments and vRAM assignments update in a reasonable amount of time so data is being pulled from the virtual machines successfully.

I found this thread: Re: Not seeing vSphere tags when creating custom groups in vROps

I have both rebooted the appliance & double-check the policies are set to collect the vSphere tags

I validated the tags are still on the VMs in question according to vCenter

I tried to create a group using tags and like the user in the forum, "load more" does not bring up any tags

I tried creating a whole new view but using "vSphere World" for the sample data had the same result.

I'm not seeing anything shocking in any of the collector logs. 

 

Any other ideas or thoughts besides opening a case with support?

 

Thanks.

VMware Player freezing and not accepting input from keyboard or mouse

My VMware player keeps freezing on me when my freezes up (like during backup or virusscan), but when the host response again, the player does not.  I can see the clock moving and if I had something running I can see responses in the window, but the player will no longer accept input from either the keyboard or the mouse.  I can't do anything but kill it with Task Manager on the host.  Once I've done that, I then have to log off my host and log back in before it will let me start the player again.

 

Is there anything I can do to prevent this or recover without having to log completely off my host?

Workstation 12 + Fedora 23 (or Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.10) guest -- cannot mount shared folder with open-vm-tools in the guest

March 10, 2016, 11:56 am
$

It seems that it is impossible to get shared folders to work on recent Linuxes with VmWare. This is supposed to be easy, and it has been easy in the past.  However... I just started using Workstation 12 Pro as that is what we use at my place of work. And nothing works, and the documentation is totally out of date.

 

I have installed first Ubuntu 15.10, then Ubuntu 14.04, and now Fedora 23. All the installations succeed, and some form of open-vm-tools are installed in the guests.

 

However.

 

No matter what, when I try to enable a shared folder in the setting dialog, I just get an error:

 

2016-03-10_20-50-20.png

 

If I look in the help for Workstation 12 about how to enable this for a Linux guest, it talks about installing Vmware tools in the guest. But that is not how you are supposed to do things today, and both Vmware itself and the vmware tools installer make it very clear that they are old and out of date and replaced with open-vm-tools.

 

But.

 

How do you enable shared folders in the guest when using open-vm-tools?  I have checked, and I have both the basic tools and the tools-desktop installed.

 

On the Fedora 23 guest, the version is very recent: "open-vm-tools-desktop-10.0.0-7.fc23.x86_64"

 

So how do I enable the hgfs filesystem? There seems to be no way to do it, and nothing the VMware documentation to help me.

 

Embarrassingly enough, this works perfectly and easily in Virtualbox - the free solution. While we paid 100 USD + for this piece of software, which I hoped would be more solid. But without shared folders, it is completely useless.
