Re: Can we install view horizon 6.0 environment on xen server
Not a full featured Horizon View, many things will not work like Linked clones, provisioning etc.
Whats the reason for wanting to do this?

Re: vCenter upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 and consolidation
i believe the way to accomplish this is:
0) back everything up
1) upgrade the current distributed vCenter Single Sign-On 5.1 instance to version 5.5.
2) install a new instance of vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 to your existing vCenter Server 5.1 (virtual) machine, specifying that it is an additional instance, placing it in the already created vsphere.local security domain.
3) On the vCenter Server 5.1 machine, install the vCenter Web Client 5.5 pointed at the newly-installed local vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 instance.
3) On the vCenter Server 5.1 machine, install the vCenter Inventory Service pointed at the newly-installed local vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 instance.
4) On the vCenter Server 5.1 machine, upgrade vCenter Server to 5.5 using the local vCenter Server Single Sign-On 5.5 instance.
5) Power down the original separate SSO and Inventory Service instances and verify functionality.

Re: I can't download VMware vCenter Server 5.5 Update 2e Appliance
It will be the evaluation version, does this mean I can only download a vmware 5,5 product with a valid license?

Question about what happens after I take the Exam
Hi all,
Say I passed the exam (VCA-Cloud for example), Do I receive an email that says I passed the VCA-Cloud exam with score x/300 and so on. And if so, is this email enough to prove that I am a certified candidate in this course. The thing is, I am almost sure that the hard copy of the certification will not reach me by post (I know that in this case I will not have a serial number for VM workstation program). So that's why I am asking if the email that contains the certification is enough or not.

Re: Vmware player totally freezing Ubuntu
Well done, dbasabe. Your post just solved several months of aggravation for me.
Fedora 21 (now 22 beta) host, Windows 7 x64 guest, VMplayer 7.0 and 7.1, 3D acceleration enabled -- the system GUI would freeze up entirely within seconds or minutes of starting up the guest. Mouse pointer still moved, and some host system window updates continued to happen, but all else appeared frozen in both the guest AND host. I had to ssh in and kill vmware-vmx to get control of the system back. Without 3D acceleration, everything worked fine.
This vblank_mode fix seems to solve it for me. Acceleration works again.
Kudos. What a weird regression though.

Re: Adding new disk to VM from vRA ASD using vRO workflow
resolved by additonal coding
var validNumbers = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6];
var devices = vm.config.hardware.device;
if ( devices != null ) {
for ( device in devices ) {
if ( devices[device] instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {
var u = devices[device].unitNumber;
for (i in validNumbers) {
if (validNumbers[i] == u) {
validNumbers.splice(i,1); // Remove number in use

Re: Requirements for MSCS
JLackman, thanks for the sharing and uptdate to my thread mate. I appreciate it.
So yes, as for building SQL Server 2012 / 2014 AlwaysON Availability Group, on the almost similar infrastructure using HP BL 465c G7 and 465c G8
Storage: Do you still need to have RDM with Physical compatibility mode on the pvSCSI controller ?
In my previous case with Windows 2008 R2 Ent & SQL Server 2008 R2 Clustering, I was building it using the above two setting.
Networking: Do you still need to have non routable VLAN for the Cluster Heartbeat Network on the vSwitch and also on the HP Virtual Connect layer?

Re: Need to remove CD-ROM from Virtual machine permanently
Do I assume right when I guess that your actual goal is not to remove the CD from the VM but protecting your smart scripts inside the VM ?
If yes let me suggest a different approach because nothing can really prevent that a user looks into the vmdk after the OVF is deployed.
Inside the Redhat system create another partition and encrypt it with Truecrypt or what ever.
Move everything you want to keep out of the reach of spying eyes into the encrypted partition.
Compile a tool that does the following actions at startup and once every few minutes:
- check wether the system detects a CDrom,DVD, USB-device or additional harddisk
- if anything is detected do not mount the encrypted partition
- if anything is detected stop whatever services your stuff needs to run and unmount the encryped partition
- if anything is detected display a message like "An attempt to modify the configuration has been detected. System will reboot now" and shutdown the system
- if nothing is detected mount the encrypted container and start services and launch your application
Yes - much more work ... and probably not enough to keep out the really smart guys - but probably good enough for your needs.

Unable to get DHCP on Windows 8.1 VM
This is the situation:
Host: Microsoft Surface Pro 3, running Windows 8.1, all patched.
Virtual Machine: Windows 8.1, from volume licensed ISO
VMWare Workstation 11.1.0
The virtual machine can get out to the Internet when it's in NAT mode. But when I put it in Bridged mode, it will not pick up an IP address, just times out and picks up the 169.x.x.x address. I've monkeyed with the LAN settings, but never can get it to work. The host firewall is off.
Not sure what else to check. Any ideas?

Re: Recover deleted vmdk files?
Firts be sure that you make a copy of files, what you want to delete, it is nclear, but sometimes it is be deleted in reccycle bin, and sometimes just go who knows where and cannot be recoverd !!!
So make a copy of each file you want to delete and better use option move it in (recycle bin, or where you want, you have this option in most windows boost software as auslogics boot speed (not free, but you habe it in torrents) or just add that keys to enable this in right click menu cotext:see attachnents !!!

Can a vCenter cluster share a single datastore on a NAS?
I have a vCenter cluster of 3 ESX hosts. I want those 3 hosts to share a single datastore on a NAS (Dell Powervault md36xxi).
The goal is if any one of the hosts go down, the other two still have access to the single shared datastore on the NAS.
So far, I've only been able to create a separate datastore for each host on my NAS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cisco Layer 3, Voice, & VLAN
I have a vSphere 5.5 install and I'm in the process of a network upgrade in preparation for a VOIP implementation. The Switch hardware I'm using is a stack of Cisco 3850 Layer 3 switches and I've been going in circles on getting vlan traffic to work correctly. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I have one NIC connected to the switch (10GB fiber) that will handle all traffic for the esxi host (except for management). VLAN ID is set to None (0) and load balancing is set to Route based on originating virtual port.
I have 2 subnets, 10.1.0.0/16 (data & management, VLAN 1) and 10.10.1.0/24 (Voice, VLAN 10)
On the host I have a Win 2012 R2 server that will be a VOIP PBX host. It must be able to communicate with the IP phones (VLAN 10) and other servers (VLAN 1).
The switches will do the intervlan routing.
Finally my question - Can anyone give me some hints on how to set up the interface on the Cisco for the 10GB fiber connection from my host? Actual port settings would be extremely helpful. Anything I'm doing at the vmware end that I should be doing differently?

Intermittent error when using Get-View (There is an error in XML document)
Hi,
The get-view command I am using is intermittently throwing an exception. I suspect it happens when vm's are being vmotioned around but am not certain. Below is the command which I am running;
$vms_view = get-view -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot $clu_view.moref -Filter @{"Config.Template"="false"} -property name,config,summary
Unfortunately I cannot find anything relating to the error message it is outputting, below;
Get-View : 2/05/2015 3:51:18 AM Get-View There is an error in XML document (7, 223194). At C:\VMwareClusterReportv5.ps1:55 char:25
+ $vms_view = get-view <<<
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-View], VimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_BaseCmdlet_UnknownError,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.DotNetInterop.GetVIView
I am going to see if I can use get-vm instead, which isn't preffered.
PS: Powershell v2 and PowerCLI 5.5 Release 1

Re: Windows 7 VM VERY slow after OSX 10.10.3 update
I thought I'd chime in. First of all, thanks everyone for these posts. I had updated SolidWorks a few days ago and noticed it was really slow (when compared to the previous version I had). The upgrade was co-incidentally at the same time I upgraded to 10.10.3, so I was looking at a SolidWorks issue until I noticed the CPU was firewalled regardless of whether SolidWorks was running or not.
I tried the suggestion here (adding isolation.tools.hgfs.notify.enable = FALSE) and it solved my issue.
Thanks again!

Re: Workstation 11 Restricted Management Server can not be connected.
The "managed" type is used for flex nor for workstation.
Q1: What can I use the software or service with this "managed" function?
That function is like old vmware product VMware ACE Server to control VM security?
Q2: What VMware Product can replace the VMware ACE Server ?

Re: Can a vCenter cluster share a single datastore on a NAS?
I'm not familiar with Dell storage, cause I'm a IBM guy, but this Dell storage looks like the old IBM DS3/4/5 family. But the you can share a single LUN between the three hosts, just define each host on storage, create a Host Group and place all three hosts in this Host Group, and then create a new LUN and map this LUN to the Host Group.
Take a look at this document: http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/PowerVault_MD_iSCSI_Deployment_Guide_for_VMwa…
