Hello,

I am trying to upgrade Vmware 4.0 to Vmware 5.5, but getting an error as below:

Expected to found disk which contains a VMFS Partition either in Local or Remote storage device. But in our case, server didn't find neither local nor remote storage device found which contains a VMFS Partition.

Request you to please guide to fix the error.

I downloaded a few ISOs from archive.org to install on my XP VMWare virtual machine because I really wanted to listen to the MIDIs on VGMusic that were made for XG actually in XG. You have heard about the elephant in the room, didn't you?

(Sorry if the images are messed up, but they all say XG only)

The two isos I used were https://archive.org/details/CDV73B1 and https://archive.org/details/3DS724Acd. 

While in the process of installing the software on the isos, I noticed that the programs I installed wouldn't load. I tried to run a few applications that had nothing to do with what was on the isos, but they wouldn't load either. I decided maybe I had overworked it and maybe I should shutdown and start it up again tomorrow to see if it'd sorted itself out.

When I got home the next day, I started the VM and when I got to the login screen, I clicked on my username, my username moved to the center and then the machine crashed. I tried again and it still crashed.

I could login to Safe Mode so I could try to fix the problem there.

Help and Support Center had no solutions from what I remember and System Restore never works.

I got from one website that you could go to msconfig and uncheck the boxes in the General tab. While this got rid of the crash, it gave me another problem.

My username would move to the center, the Loading your personal settings... text will appear, but then it will hang. I can move the mouse, but other than that, nothing happens. I couldn't even login in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking anymore.

But I could login in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

Safe Mode with Command Prompt still starts Windows, but loads Command Prompt instead of explorer on startup. (so it's not the same thing as the Restart in MSDOS mode option in the shutdown menu of older versions of Windows. That used to restart the computer but remain in DOS instead of start Windows) Ironically, you can run explorer from Command Prompt and it'll work. (it works for me too)

So I sent my computer to the repair shop in town to see if they could fix it and not even they could get it working.

So after I got my computer sent back I created a new virtual machine, installed Windows XP on it and then went and installed everything from the first ISO one by one.

The first thing I installed was Yamaha MIDPLUG. After I installed it, nothing happened. So I knew MIDPLUG wasn't causing the problem.

Then I went on to install the S-YXG50 Softsynthesiser. After I installed it, I was prompted to restart the computer. So I restarted the machine and it crashed during the login screen like originally. It turned out that the culprit was the S-YXG50 Softsynthesiser. Luckily I was prepared for that, because I tried to uninstall almost everything installed from those two ISOs including S-YXG50. Except the uninstaller for S-YXG50 didn't remove two dlls because they were in use. (the dlls were sxgb.dll and sxgbsys.dll) Either this is an older version from 1999 (when XP was on the way) or that version was rushed out the door. It is likely to have been rushed out the door because if it is old, then that would make little sense because XP was on the way.

Tl;dr, I had a VMWare XP virtual machine. I installed S-YXG50 Softsynthesiser using two isos; https://archive.org/details/CDV73B1 and https://archive.org/details/3DS724Acd.

When prompted I selected 'Restart Later'. However, I was unable to run various applications. After rebooting, XP booted and presented the 'Users' options - but when I selected any one of the User accounts, it seemed that the profile starts to load (the user logo moves to the centre of the screen) ... but then crashes and restarts.

I was able to boot in Safe Mode. From there I went into msconfig and in the General tab unchecked Process SYSTEM.INI, PROCESS WIN.INI and Load System Services. Now the user profile starts to load, but then hangs i.e. does not enter the reboot cycle.
 
I would like to recover this virtual machine, as I don't have a recent backup or restore point.

So now I am here wondering if you can help me out so I can get back on track. I don't usually post on computer error related forums, but I feel that I have to because I am really stuck. Any help would be great.

  Thank you.

any idea why when I converttp-html from a get-datastore output shows all these columns? instead of the standard Name, freespacegb and sizegb

A few days ago I was doing some testing with Hyper-V. As I can easily create a Windows Server using vSphere (6.5 in my case), I decided create my Hyper-V host on a VM.

In order to get this to work I created a VM running Windows Server 2019 and then I needed to do some customization to it.

VM CPU Settings

When creating the VM, change the CPU/MMU Virtualization settings to Hardware CPU and MMU.

After the VM is created, make sure it's Powered Off, and navigate to its folder under the Storage menu on vSphere.

Download the <VM Name>.vmx file to your PC and open it with a Text Editor.

In the end of the file, add those lines:

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"

vhv.enable = "TRUE"

Save the VMX file and upload it back to the VMs folder. In my case, instead of overwriting the file in the datastore, I renamed it to <VM Name>.vmx.old.

Installing Hyper-V

Power on the VM, install Windows and VMware Tools if you haven't done so, and then go to Server Manager.

Click Add roles and features and follow the wizard to install Hyper-V.

Restart the Server as requested, then launch Hyper-V Manager.

As a quick test, create a new VM with the default values (click New > Virtual Machine and then follow the wizard). From my testing, you would get an error message when trying to Power On this VM if something is wrong with the Hyper-V VM.

Networking

After creating my test VM, I noticed that I could not ping anywhere in the network apart from itself and the Hyper-V Host. I checked the Virtual Switch Manager on Hyper-V and also the Networking settings on the VM, and all seemed to be configured as expected. The way I got it to work was by going to the ESXi Console and enabling Promiscuous mode and Forged transmits in the vSwitch that was connected to the Hyper-V Server VM.

--

This configuration was done on my testing environment and I cannot guarantee this is fit for production environments.

Hi Luc,

can you breifelydescribe whats the difference between

get-wmiobjectand get-ciminstance  .

do both of them accpet same     classname  parameters ?

Is anyone able to get the client integration plugin from the vcenter6 U2 iso to work in Microsoft Edge on Win 10? The plugin will install but does not seem to really be active in the Edge browser. Everytime I try to upload files to a datastore the plugin keeps downloading again. Maybe Edge is just not supported yet?

My vsphere client is version 5.0. Login vsphere Tip: You need to retrieve and install the necessary client support files from the server "vsphereclient.vmware.com".Click "Run Program" or "Save Installer", click Save Installer, download completed, install the program, report 1062 error, how can I solve it?

I cannot install Esxi on my embedded computer running an intel i3-3217UE with Intel i210-AT Ethernet controller. the Intel i210 is supported under 6.0, and we have tried using a customized version of Esxi 5.5 to get around the problem but that not working either. Could it be that the embedded computer is needs a processor with VT-d in order to see the NIC?

I have a eval environment that I am testing. I'm using a Eval of Windows 10 as well. I've done a Windows 10 install and installed the proper Horizon agents. I have a new installation of Active Directory with very little customization done to it that Horizon and the Instant Clones use. When I create an instant clone desktop pool, the clones will create and startup and show provisioned. I'm able to log into them with out issue. As soon as I reboot any of them, I see the clone go into maintenance mode and then back into provisioning mode as it starts back up. At some point, it does look like its back up and running but then it shuts down. Horizon shows the machine as "Error" with the warning: "Resync of VM has failed: Fault type is SERVER_FAULT_FATAL - Runtime error: We only support DvsPortGroup and OpaqueNetwork as the target network for instant clones". If I remove the desktop with the error, Horizon will delete the machine and recreate it and it will startup and work correctly. If I manually startup the VM from VSphere, I'm able to use the direct Horizon connection to access the VM and when I try to log in it says the "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed".

Any suggestions on what I can do to make this work?

Hi guys!

I've successfully installed and integrated VRNI 4.0 with my vSphere 6.7 and NSX 6.4.4

But i have one little issue - VM Path Topology doesnt't work correctly for VMs which are located at regular (non-NSX) Port Groups

For example Path to Internet throws the following error 'Unable to determine path: Unable to determine router for Gateway IP 10.10.40.1'

10.10.40.1 is the gateway (SVI) on a physical switch

The same thing with a VM on NSX network works just fine

My VM ware fushion can not connect anymore to USB external HD. I tried with two other new ones same problem, and with old models it works fine

I am running VM Ware Fushion on 10.1.6

Old harddisk is recognized in VM and works, new HDD ( different models) not recognized??? I am still working on windows XP, as i used only for an accounting program which can not be updated to windows 2000......It only works under XP

Please help

I've gone through this about half-a-dozen times with different types of certificates each with the same message of failure in /var/log/proton/nsxapi.log. This same process worked fine with NSX-T 2.3. Let me explain my topology (screenshots for sauce).

• NSX-T 2.4
• 3 nodes
  • cz-nest-nsxtm01 (10.2.21.16)
  • cz-nest-nsxtm02 (10.2.21.17)
  • cz-nest-nsxtm03 (10.2.21.18)
• 1 HA VIP address (ILB)
  • cz-nest-nsxtm (10.2.21.19)

I have referenced the steps in VVD 5.0.1 and used the CertGen utility to create certificates signed by my internal enterprise CA. When replacement on cz-nest-nsxtm01 with the node cert did not work, I attempted steps with a self-signed cert only with the same failure. I upload the CA cert and upload the node certs, including the one for the cluster IP. SAN contains FQDN and IP. I don't think this is an issue of cert contents.

I retrieve the ID of the cert in question. For more details of the cert, if I curl to /api/v1/trust-management/certificates it returns the following:

I post to the necessary URI as follows:

curl -k -u admin:VMware1!' -X POST "https://cz-nest-nsxtm01.domain.com/api/v1/node/services/http?action=apply_certificate&certificate_id=5c4f0ee9-00cb-4acd-8431-07903767204a"

In response I receive:

{  "error_code": 36235,  "error_message": "Error updating certificate usage.",  "module_name": "node-services"
}

Upon examination of /var/log/proton/nsxapi.log I find the following messages logged after the operation returns failure (markup by VS Code for convenience):

I run a lot of Linux Mint and find it strange that I STILL have to specify 'Ubuntu' when creating a VM. How about adding Mint as an option?

Hello, I got a problem after upgrade to Windows Insider Preview 1903 18362.30 x64 on host machine.

CPU : I5-8400

RAM : 16G

Host OS : Windows 10 1903 x64 18362.30 (Latest WIP)

VMWare Version : 15.0.4 build-12990004

Other Status :

"bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype OFF"  (Means that Windows Native hypervisor already turned off)

"Memory integrity guard OFF"

"Credential Guard OFF"

Before I upgraded to Windows Insider Preview 18362.30, I was using Windows 10 RS5 x64 as a host operating system.

I could run any VM guest machine without any problem.

But, after I upgrade to Windows 10 1903, I cannot run any VM guest.

Guest screen only shows a black screen, and nothing happens.

What I can do is just rebooting machine. Cannot terminate vmware-vmx.exe process.

Anybody has same issue like this? And if anybody has solution it will be very thankful.

Thanks.

I'v been running Workstation 15.0.4 with latest Windows 10 Preview 18875 with no problem. The two windows 10 Preview 18885 & 18890 cause the VMware Bridge Service disappeared from the network adapters: Ethernet & Wifi. I cannot run the VM's with Bridge networking anymore. Please let me know if you run into the same problem & may get a fix. Thank you! 

Is is it possible to protect my VMs' that have interfaces connected to a regular port group on a VDS?  We have a second interface on a number of VMs that are able to talk to our physical backup appliance on the same VLAN.  We want to prevent the VMs from communicating with each other through the backup interface by using the DFW.  We feel better about not having our heaviest traffic flow through the Edge VMs so we do not want to use the N-VDS for those interfaces.  Is our understanding of the N-VDS flawed?  How can we protect interfaces that are not part of an N-VDS?

When I enumerate all VMs from VCenter server via https://{server}/rest/vcenter/vm

How to determine on which specific ESX host  each VM is residing?

We are seeing several issues with win 10 LTSC1809, especially on boot time?

Is the VMware OS optimization tool up to date for this new product?

Please advise.. Thanks...
