New-NetworkAdapter not working! Nor is Set-NetworkAdapter...

October 28, 2016, 10:54 pm

Hello all,

 

Needless to say I had a large issue with the vmxnet3 adapter for a customer and they requested all NICs be rolled over to the e1000e (Ugly!) but it was what they knew worked for them.

So I started to write a script using the latest PowerCLI.

This include cmdlets Net-NetworkAdapter, but this has limitation of it functionality which is not correct.

Specifically on MAC Addresses.

You see to make sure the systems which are using DHCP get back their original address so that there are no changes required to the Load Balancers we have to make sure they maintain the MAC's.

the MAC on a test system was 00:50:56:88:f7:78 which was originally auto-assigned.

Well that address is invalid if you try to pass it to the new adapter with the below error:

 

 

===============================================================================================================================================

New-NetworkAdapter : Cannot bind parameter 'MacAddress' to the target. Exception setting "MacAddress": "The MAC

address is invalid or is not in the valid range 00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF."

At C:\SwapNics.ps1:41 char:55

+ New-NetworkAdapter -vm $VM -Type $NICType -MacAddress $MACAdd -StartConnected -N ...

+                                                       ~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (:) [New-NetworkAdapter], ParameterBindingException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterBindingFailed,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.VirtualDevice.NewNet

   workAdapter

===============================================================================================================================================

It seems that whomever created the cmdlet has incorrect validation in their code. as 00:50:56:88:f7:78 is in between 00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF

 

likewise for Set-NetworkAdapter...

And with Set-NetworkAdapter you cannot go from -type:Vmxnet3 to -type:e1000 or e1000e, which would have made this whole situation so much less complicated!

 

Anyhow, figured I would share my fndings and if this is not corrected save someone the multiple hours trying to figure out if it was a context error or something in my code.

Resetting ISCSI storage device - how will it affect hosts/vms

I need to reset my ISCSI storage device (due to some network configuration changes). I am wondering how will it affect hosts and vms that are using it? How will they react when storage is down? Can something go wrong? In optimistic scenario, the downtime of the storage should be couple of minutes (for system to reboot). What if storage will be down for longer time? What can I do to minimize downtime?

New MacBook Pro and Compatibility with VMware Fusion (USB-C and Touch Bar)?

October 29, 2016, 7:01 am

I just ordered a new MacBook Pro, which has four USB-C interfaces and a headphone jack. Frankly, I did not have a choice - my current MacBook Pro is too old to run the virtual machines I need for work, and it has other serious problems. I had to replace it. I waited for Apple's recent announcement and then placed my order. I hope that VMware Fusion will be compatible with the USB-C to USB-A adapters and the USB-C to Ethernet adapter.

 

Here is my request to VMware:

Please do your best to be ready when the new MacBook Pros arrive.Has VMware placed an order for a new MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar and USB-C ports yet?


Update: I just realized that there are no dedicated function keys on the new MacBook Pro (duh!). That job has been taken over by the new Touch Bar.


Here is my question for VMware:

What will VMware Fusion do with the Touch Bar? Will VMware Fusion configure the Touch Bar to display and take input from the normal function keys for Windows and Linux (and other operating systems) when they are active?

 

Additional Update: I just learned that pressing the Fn key on the lower left corner of the keyboard will bring up the normal function keys (buttons) on the Touch Bar. Still, it would be nice if VMware Fusion would make that an automatic feature.

 

Here is my question for the other VMware Fusion users on this forum:

Are you running VMware Fusion on a MacBook (the version with the one USB-C connector) and using it with a USB-C to Ethernet adapter and/or USB-C to USB-A adapter? If so, does VMware Fusion work with the various USB-C adapters without issues?

This will usually follow a re-boot of the host machine, running Windows Server 2012.

I can then REMOVE the machine(s)

 

And open the .vmx file from the file manager ...

Network bridge not working on Intel AC8260 WiFi adapter

I have a Lenovo Y700 laptop with an Intel AC8260 wireless adapter, Windows 10 Pro 1607, VM Workstation 12.5. If I setup bridged networking using the WiFi adapter, the guest VM gets and ip from dhcp, I can ping the guest IP from anywhere on the network, but the guest network traffic (TCP and ICMP) doesn't even reach the gateway. Strangely enough, it looks like some UDP traffic works as the logs on my router show DNS requests from the guest VM passing through. If I switch the bridge to the Ethernet port everything works as expected. This happens regardless of the guest OS, I tried it with a Win 10 and Free BSD (pfSense) VMs and they both exhibit the same connectivity issue. For the record, I did update the WiFi drivers to the latest Intel Pro Set available (19.10 Aug. 21) and it didn't make any difference.

Passthrough 82575GB Networkcard doesn't work, but why?

So I've bought myself a used Dell Intel Pro/1000 VT QuadPort GBit Networkcard (0YT674 0H092P) and wanted to pass it through, but it doesn't work, my AMD HD5450 and the onboard LSI 2308 controller pass through just fine and work within their VMs.

 

I've ticked all the "Intel 82575GB" devices from the network card within the DirectPath I/O Configuration and rebooted but they still have the orange arrow on the icon, the other devices worked fine and have a green orb on the icon.

 

Can someone help me out with this one?

 

Edit: Alight I disabled ACS Checking and now it works.

Problems connecting wn772 tp link to vm's

I have a wn772 tp link usb adapter and until very recently it worked perfectly with all of my vms.  Then out of the blue it stopped working and since then I have been having trouble getting it to work the way it was.  It works fine with the windows host, but when I plug it into the vms the vms see it but cant use it.  For example when I plug it into kali, it shows up when I type lsusb.  Il post the screenshots of lsusb and dmesg.  Really not sure how to fix this issue, google has not turned up any solutions.  Oh and when I remove it from the vms it shows up on windows as a unknown usb device which I can fix by uninstalling the driver and unplugging and putting back the tp link back in.

How to setup a remote server for Quickbooks using VMware?

I've been trying to setup a Quickbooks server for the owners of a contracting company for a good while now. They use certain QB features that are only available on the desktop version so the online version of QB is not an option. I have the machine built, I have VMware, I am able to remote connect to each virtual machine at the same time, but I am not sure how to make the company file accessible for all virtual machines to have access to it. I want there to be one company file that is being pulled in various directions. I am not sure if that is how it works but I guess that's why I am here asking you guys. The contractor edition of QB allows multiple users to access a file with no butt backup (I don't think) and I am not sure how it does that in a server environment. If anyone has ever setup QB in a server environment I would love to hear how you did it.

After any of my Windows VM's boot up, they freeze more often than not and I get an error that Windows has stopped responding and needs rebooted.  I sometimes have to reboot 3 times before it will actually boot up and be usable.

 

This NEVER happened with previous versions of Fusion.

 

PLEASE FIX THIS BUG
