VCAP Exam Vouchers

$

0

Hello,

 

I have 2 x VCAP Exam voucher codes that are surplus to requirements (Im not ready to persure another VCAP in a different track yet)

 

Im posting on here to see if they would be of interest to anyone, they can only be redemed against VCAP exams, so no VCP and have an expiry date of April 30th 2020.

 

Feel free to message me if you are interested.

 

Thanks


Download of vSphere Hypervisor 6.5 (ESXi ISO) image and license keys

$
0

Hello

 

I am contacting you because I need to clarify a point regarding the download of the VMware vSphere Hypervisor 6.5 (ESXi ISO) image (Includes VMware Tools).

 

I am looking for the free version (free trial for 60 days) and I do not know if I have to download the "6.5.0 0a" or the "6.5.0 U1" version.

 

I mean I am currently using a "ESXi 6.0 U2" ISO image on my serveur and now I would like to uninstall this version in order to install the 6.5 one.

 

My questions are:

 

1. Can I download the "6.5.0 U1" for free ? If yes, where can I get the License key ? (a License Key is provided at the "6.5.0 0a" download page and not provided at "6.5.0 U1" download page). If it possible can someone give me the link to download the "6.5.0 U1" with the License Key mentionned ?

 

2. I read that the 6.5.0 version will not completely expire in 60 days but there are new limitations to the usage of it (as long as we do not have a requirement of VM's greater the 8vCPU (Socket or Core) then it will work as previously). Is that correct ? and will I have to enter another key after the 60 days (both for the 6.5.0 0a and 6.5.0 U1 versions) ?

 

In advance, I thank you very much for your help.

Questions that have plagued me for months DX11Shimops:4962

First of all, forgive me for using translation software to ask questions because I can't speak English. I'm sorry.

 

Go straight to the theme:

Problem Description: After hanging up, all windows are jammed, or the screen, including random black and fast UI disappearance in the game, is like a memory crash (sometimes half a day, one day, two days, four days, more than a week is rare, sometimes a few hours, half an hour, or a few minutes after hanging up). The hangup window only opens to about 78 viewers. GPUZ display memory and other data are normal task managers to see that CPU memory, display memory and graphics card load are more than half of the remaining space, so it is impossible to have the problem of insufficient hardware configuration. In my other older machine, the number of multiple windows is as low as that of the problem machine, and the same number of hang-up games is as fast as the full load and hang-out for several months. Now this kind of problem!! The difference is that the old machine is the VM10 version of Intel CPU Win7 Physical Machine, the new machine is the latest VM15-15.5 version of AMD CPU Win10 Physical Machine.

 

Virtual Machine Usage: Open more games and hang up games for old 2-D games (2-D class should not eat any video card memory)

 

======================================= Problematic new machine information

CPU: AMD3700X 8 Core 16 Threads

Memory: Chi Fantasy Halo 3200 16G*3 = 48G

Hard Disk: Solid 500G

Video Card: Video Chip RTX2060 will be 6G

Physical Machine System: Win10x64 1903

Virtual Machine System: Win7x64 Professional Edition (Original Pure Edition)

VM version: I tried it from VM10-VM15-VM15.5 (VM10 is the direct way to uninstall the display memory when the game runs, increasing the V15-15.5 display memory constantly, normal non-overlapping will uninstall the display memory according to how much the environment around the game loads)

 

======================================= Problem-free Old Machine Information

CPU: Intel I7-2600K 4 Core 8 Threads

Memory: Kingston 8G*3 = 24G

Hard Disk: Solid 500G

Video Card: Yinchi 660TI 2G

Physical Machine System: Win7x64 Flagship Edition

Virtual Machine System: Win7x64 Professional Edition (Original Pure Edition)

VM version: VM10

 

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

The virtual machine system of the two machines - configuration - Game - software is all the same in the same number of multiple windows. This problem will occur in the new machine. I have tried to change the software compatibility and hardware compatibility of the virtual machine. The graphics driver that AMD-V has been on has also been upgraded to the latest and reinstalled. Anyway, I can think of it. I have tried or can't find the reason now. I wonder if it's the reason why AMD's new CPU doesn't support VM well, and I can't find the same level U of Intel's to test it now. The most distressing part of this problem is that the time of the problem is completely random and the number of games must be open to hang up. So I have to reload the system/game/software/various configurations every time I test it, and it's been on the verge of collapse for several months. Thank you for your official advice.

Hi Guys,

 

I am using below xpath query to find a Virtual Machine using IpAddress, However it takes about 4-7 minutes to find a single VM ( Inventory has 5000 VMs )

Can you guys suggest me a way to fasten the response of the query If possible to a minute or an alternate way.

 

var ipAddress

var vms = Server.query("VC:VirtualMachine","xpath:ipAddress[contains(.,'" + ipAddress +"')]")

 

( vRO 7.6 ; vCEnter 6.5 )

 

Thanks in advance.

Fusion Pro 10: Disconnects Host Internet and Can't see display of VM

$

I've been having problems with VM Fusion Pro 10 on my MacBook. The two problems I'm having are:

 

1) When I launch VMWare (just the application not even a VM) it cuts out the Internet connection on the host machine (my MacBook), I can't connect to the internet either through my terminal or a browser.

2) When I launch a VM, it simply shows a black screen but in the library windows it shows the screen demonstrating that the VMs are working.

 

Device Info:

 

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), Processor: 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 running 10.15 (macOS Catalina)

VMware Fusion Professional Version 10.1.6 (12989998)

 

Steps I have taken:

 

-Full reinstall of VMware Fusion (deleted the app and all associated application data) and did a full reinstall

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi,

is it possible to get the information of a VM on which VCenter the VM´s belongs?

I´m asking, because we have more vcenters....

 

connection to more vcenters example

$vmlist =  get-vm  | sort name

 

 

$myCol = @()

 

 

foreach ($vm1 in $vmlist)

 

 

{

 

   $vminfo =  $vm1 | Select name, Powerstate, NumCPU, MemoryGB,

 

 

    @{N="OS";E={$_.extensiondata.config.GuestFullName}},

 

 

    @{N="Cluster";E={$_.vmhost.parent}},

 

 

    @{N='vCenter';E={$_.get-viserverorsomethinglikethisName}}    # how can i get the vcenter back from the vm object?

 

 

    $myCol += $VMInfo

 

}

Problem with VMware ahci driver - ESXi 6.7

$

I had the problem that under LINUX the Virtual Machine didn´t get more than 80mb/sec read/write, so I read somewhere that with the command:

 

esxcli system module set --enabled=false --module=vmw_ahci

 

This issue should be solved.. far away from that, it gave me more troubles than solutions.. ESXi boots up and is responsive but for less than a minute then ESXi server becomes unresponsive.

I can SSH but every command that I execute gets stuck, so when I try to read the log (cat /var/log/vmkernel.log) the Putty session becomes unresponsive and I can´t do anything.

 

I also tried to re-enable the module with:

 

esxcli system module set --enabled=true --module=vmw_ahci

 

After that I execute reboot command but does nothing, the only way is to use reboot -n -f, but even with the force flag, esxi hangs up and doesn't reboot.

 

Any help please? I have the server 40 miles from home and I don't want to travel, maybe I am missing something

Thanks people

Переустановил ESXI поверх хранилища. Возможно ли восстановление ВМ?

$

Здравствуйте, коллеги! Ситуация простая и в тоже время сложная. HP Proliant dl360e Gen8. ESXI 5.5 был установлен на SD карту и работал несколько лет. После некорректного выключения, при следующей загрузке начал ругаться на /sb.v00 и перестал загружаться. Местные ребята взяли новую флешку и установили ESXI заново через Intelligent Provisioning в режиме "Рекомендуется". Итог: ESXI установился на RAID, который являлся хранилищем ВМ в рабочей системе.

Вопрос: возможно ли восстановление хранилища/раздела/файлов после такого пируэта или это конец.

Разумеется, на любые вопросы/комментарии готов ответить, т.к. приехал из другого города и нахожусь в одной комнате с сервером.

Спасибо.

Please fix the installer!

$

I'm a long time user and customer of VMware. And there is one thing that is bugging me since all the years: The installer is a complete mess! I don't know if I'm the only one running into this issues on and on again or if the QA of VMware is just that sloppy.

 

Everytime I want to install an update of VMware, it takes me multiple hours. Because everytime the setup gets stuck at either "Uninstalling Virtual Network Drivers", "Cleaning up Legacy Network Drivers" or "Installing Virtual Network Drivers". When this happens, it kills my network connection, Systray shows a "disabled globe" icon and I have to restart my PC after waiting a good grace period, while still hoping it recovers eventually.

 

Yesterday I received a notification that the update to Workstation 15.5 is available and tried installing it.

 

  • Uninstall stuck at "Uninstalling Virtual Network Drivers", internet gone, "disabled globe" icon in Systray.
  • Waited for at least 20+ minutes.
  • Decided to restart Windows.
  • Had to manually download VMware 15.5, because the previously installed VMware was already gone.
  • Ran the installer.
  • Stuck at "Cleaning up Legacy Network Drivers", internet gone, "disabled globe" icon in Systray.
  • Waited again 15+ minutes.
  • Decided to restart Windows.
  • Ran the installer again.
  • Stuck at "Installing Virtual Network Drivers", internet gone, "disabled globe" icon in Systray.
  • Waited a good time.
  • Restarted Windows again.
  • Ran the installer once again.
  • Finally finished successfully.
  • Shut down PC and went home, since it was already getting late.

 

Next day (today) I came back to the office, turned on PC, got my coffee, started VMware and my guest machine.

 

  • Was wondering, why the USBdevices I need to work are not there.
  • Checked VM -> Removable devices
  • Everything empty, except a few default devices (CD, Network, Printer, Sound)
  • Searched the internet.
  • Found that a "VMware USB Arbitration Service" should be running.
  • Checked in services.msc and tried starting the mentioned services.
  • Can't start. Error 2: File not found.
  • Searched the internet again.
  • Found suggestion to completely un- and reinstall VMware again and try to run the installer with /clean parameter afterwards.
  • Uninstaller stuck at "Uninstalling Virtual Network Drivers", internet gone, "disabled globe" icon in Systray.
  • Searched the internet.
  • Found a thread mentioning that there is a "VMware network install library executable" process which is "Not responding" which you can kill.
  • Did that.
  • Uninstaller continued and wanted to restart PC.
  • Restarted PC.
  • Suddenly Keyboard was not working anymore on the logon screen!
  • Could logon using Accessibility tools with On-screen keyboard.
  • Device manager showed exclamation mark for the keyboard and details said something about registry errors and "Code 19".
  • Spent 1+ hours trying to solve that.
    • Solution was to remove everything from "UpperFilters" except "kbdclass" in the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
  • Started the VMware setup again with /clean option.
  • Stuck at "Cleaning Up Legacy Network Drivers", internet gone, "disabled globe" icon in Systray.
  • Killed "Not responding" "VMware network install library executable" process again.
  • Setup still did not continue though.
  • Restarted Windows.
  • Started the VMware setup again with /clean option.
  • Finally it went through and finished successfully!
  • Started VMware and my VM.
  • USB devices were there.
  • Suddenly internet was gone again. Systray just showed the same "disabled globe" icon.
  • Restarted PC.
  • Finally, after 2+ hours everything works now!

 

And seriously, I'm not kidding or exaggerating. Only the keyboard and USB issues were new though. Otherwise this is the exact same process I'm going through everytime I'm trying to update VMware Workstation. No matter what Windows version I'm using. This has already happened with Windows 7, 8, Vista and now Windows 10.

 

And everytime when it works again, I'm just glad that I can finally continue to work and forget about it. But this time was really a bummer. Don't know what this is or if I'm the only one. But I really wish VMware would do something about it. If they need help debugging I'd be glad to help them!

Hello

 

I just want to post this because I had this problem before, but I finally found the solution. If you still have this problem and haven't found a fix for it this might help you.

 

1. Make sure your firewall or anti-virus is off

2. Uninstall your anti-virus if the first doesn't help

3. Reinstall Windows if nothing else helps

 

For me VMware workstation was getting blocked by my Anti-virus software called "Avira".

 

More specifically this feature in Avira:

 

Hope this helps for any of you that still have this problem.

Clone vApp with private vSwitch

$

Hello,

 

We are looking to setup labs that are clones of each other within a single esxi instance. These virtual labs should be isolated from each other and will have the same IPs internally. We were looking to use vApps (rather than nested esxi) where each vApp (with all the VMs) has its own vSwitch. This would allow us to simply clone the whole vApp and redeploy it. Is it possible to make the vSwitch a part of that vApp? Or is there another way to make this work?

 

Thanks!

I am trying to enable my windows 7 VM 64bit to be able to have virtualisation in the BIOS,

 

The scenario I have is that I have installed Oracle Virtual Box on the VM but it will not recognise any 64 bit operating options to install a vm

 

I have checked under the Windows 7 VM settings and it has options to change the CPU/ MMU Virtualization but what option I choose you can still not see it in the BIOS and Virtual Box still will see any 64 bit options

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated
