Hi Expert Team,
I would to know is safe to clear/empty this log file called jumpstart-native-stdout.log from /var/log folder?
Currently the affected VM host having "ramdisk could be written". Below is the event capture.
The event error:-
Further investigate this file is taking space of the /var/log folder
Kind feedback / suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks

So we upgraded from 2.15 Manager to 2.18. Appears the Writable Template gets upgraded as well .
We have had some serious issues w/ writables.. so we try very hard to not use them .
Anyone see a 'gain' in regards to deleting a users ( non used ) 2.15 writable and recreating 2.18 ones ?
Or just improvements in general overall with 2.15 Writables compared to 2.18 ?
I.e. Does upgrading the template / app vol manager appear to improve things in regards to writables ?
Is it worth the trouble of recreating them in a 2.18 environment ?
thanks ,

Hi all,
For those of you running vSAN 6.7, I am interested to hear about your upgrading and patching experience, i.e. installing monthly patch releases or upgrading from U1 to U3 for example.
We use HPE servers (ReadyNodes). We make use of the HPE Custom ESXi ISO.
I noticed that when I patch the hosts, for example from 6.7 U3 to EP13 (November 2019 patches), the network card driver is replaced by a newer version (newer VIB).
This means its not officially supported as it doesn't match the HCL in terms of the correct firmware and driver combination.
So how are you all working around this or handling this situation when installing the latest round of VMware bug / security fixes in a vSAN environment?
I have noticed that in recent App Volumes versions a "writable_type" variable has been added to the snapvol.cfg config with a possble value of "profile" or "uia".
Is this a mandatory variable, and what does this variable do? What are the possible implications when this variable is missing or falsely configured?
I am using an snapvol.cfg file from an older version in several writable volumes, but this variable is not present in the snapvol.cfg files on those volumes.
Hello,
I have a triple monitors and was wanting to run the following in the preferences.ini;
pref.vmplayer.fullscreen.nobar = "TRUE"Unfortunately when I do this I lose the ability to use then select the bar to choose the layout which allows to span across all three monitors. Is there a way to still access the toolbar (which I'm assuming not since it quite literally says "nobar"), or is there a way to set the default layout for fullscreen? As of right now when it goes fullscreen on boot it's only my single main monitor and I have to use the toolbar to specifically select the correct layout (Layout 4).
Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi everyone,
we try to create a vCenter scheduled task (capture below) on a Virtual Machine from vRO :
So that, we will use this object :
VcScheduledTaskManager.createObjectScheduledTask(VcManagedObject,VcScheduledTaskSpec);
to find "VcManagedObject" we do that like this :
// INPUT
// vcVirtual Machine
// Find the managed entity on which the action is performed.
managedObjectReference = vcVirtualMachine.moref;
System.debug("managedObjectReference found : " + managedObjectReference + " for the Virtual Machine : " + vcVirtualMachine.name);
now to create "VcScheduledTaskSpec" we need this :
so, in vRO :
// INPUT
// emailRequester
// Define the scheduled task specification.
scheduledTaskSpec = new VcScheduledTaskSpec();
scheduledTaskSpec.name = "Restart Virtual Machine";
scheduledTaskSpec.description = "Restart Virtual Machine Scheduled - Created from OneCloud Portal";
scheduledTaskSpec.enabled = true;
scheduledTaskSpec.scheduler= TaskScheduler;
scheduledTaskSpec.action = vcAction;
scheduledTaskSpec.notification = emailRequester;
System.debug("scheduledTaskSpec found : " + scheduledTaskSpec);
To create the "TaskScheduler" :
// INPUT
// taskRunAt - date
// taskExpireTime - date
// Create a OnceTaskScheduler and set the time to
// run the Task Action at in the Scheduler.
TaskScheduler = new VcOnceTaskScheduler();
TaskScheduler.activeTime = taskRunAt;
TaskScheduler.expireTime = taskExpireTime;
TaskScheduler.runAt = taskRunAt;
System.debug("TaskScheduler found : " + TaskScheduler);
now we need to have a VcAction and we don't undesrtand how to build this object.............
If you have an idea or if you know how to build a vcAction, we take
Thx for your help.
Hi there,
I am looking for the best solution to have "End-Users" hit the tenant login page be default when going to the vRA portal.
First some context:
We have a single vRA appliance, we have a single tenant, with multiple Business Groups.
Currently users have to go to https://longservername.longfqdn/vcac/org/tenant/ to hit the login page.
I have a cname being created to use as a short URL, but this by itself will still only hit the server, default vRealize Automation Appliance page, so users will have to add /vcac/org/tenant on the end...
I have googled a lot and read a lot of documentation, this is why now I'm asking...
While we could use a Load Balancer or F5 or proxy in front to do the redirect this is extra overhead which seems un-needed for a single appliance.
I have found the blogs and various other pages saying you can edit the file on the appliance itself. like this one : Will on IT: vRA Redirect To Login while this works I also understand its not best practice to edit files on the appliance.
Is this what im after? Set the vRealize Automation Login URL to a Custom Name it doesnt quite seem like it will do the redirect part.
Is there any official vmware support way of doing this?
Thanks Jonathan.
Hello everybody,
Could i install 6.7 VCSA on ESXI 6.5 or it will be better to install 6.5 VCSA?
Regards,
How do i automate the process of downloading latest ESXi image from the data source. is there any documentation provided. Please help me in this.
I have multiple IP addresses on my host so I have two different firewalls running virtually to play with and as a backup, i'd like the other firewall/subnet to also be able to access the ESXI interface directly and not through a tunnel back to the primary firewall.
I created a new TCP/IP stack, added a vmkernel with a different VLAN and got that VLAN's ip address through the second firewall. I assigned management to this vmkernel but I am still unable to access its web interface. I can ping the ESXi interface on this secondary subnet of course.
Needless to say I have already played with the firewall but its default set to accept for any ip address and i've even disabled it for giggles but no go.
What am I missing?
Hello comunity,
I am trying to use multiple Monitors on my guest Systems but, in Workstation Pro 15, this function refuses to work.

Hi Everybody,
this is not a technical question, instead i'd like to know you opinion about the requirement if a "CloudInit" compatible METADATA Service in vCloud Director.
For all who don't know what i am talking about:
All large public cloud provider (AWS, Azure) and Openstack providing a METADATA service which can access (mainly) via IP. All implementation i know uses "169.254.169.254" to enable access to the VM/instance specific METADATA.
Inside all linux "cloud ready" images you will find "CloudInit" which querys this metadata service to configure itself during boot (Hostname, IP, SSH keys, UserScripts etc). It is also possible to query information about the instance itself (which region, VM flavor, network, image name etc).
Whithin vCloud Director there is no such service avaiable. You can access the Metadata of a VM via vCloud API, but this requires access from the VM to the vCloud API and it also requires authentication to the vCloud API. The second way is to use OVF properties of VMs. But these properites must be set manual for each VM/properites and requires the VM to be powered off. Also there is no CloudInit provider for both ways.
I already spoke to many VMware representives (VMworld 2019 EU) regarding the topic but nobody is aware of this.
So my question is:
Is there really nobody who likes to have this features?
Kind Regards,
Marcel
I found this post which let's me change the virtual device node of the vm: Re: How to Change a CDDrive to use a SATA Controller but I can't figure out how to create a sata controller. when I run the code it tells me, that the device requires a controller. How can I create a sata controller?

Hi All,
We have pulled the RV tools report for Zombie files and there were around 7000 Zombie vmdk files as per rv tools report. Can we determine the size of Zombie vmdk to see the potential space gain ?
Also, is it possible to find from power cli script that Zombie files are attached to running VM's or not ?
Thanks

Hi!
I found the bug in HTML5 vSphere client:
Users with standrad role named "virtual machine user" on folder or VM cantconnect or disconnect VM network adapter - got error no permissons.
If i give devices modify rights - users cant disconnect network, but cant connect it again - got error like *unable to connect device ethernet-0
Only if i give readonly rigths to all distributed switch port groups VM network connect-disconnect works.
In Flash client ALL OK with standard "virtual machine user" rights on folder/vm!!!
Tested in vSphere 6.5 U3 and latest 6.7 - all bugged!
