Issues under OSX 10.12 Sierra when quitting VMWare Fusion

0
0

When quitting VMWare Fusion (after closing all VMs), my external drives are forcibly ejected most of the time (with an error message about improperly disconnecting the hardware from the OS).

 

A new behavior in OSX 10.12.5 is that my laptop mouse and keyboard become unresponsive when quitting VMWare (again, many times, not always). Plugging in an external keyboard "unkills" the input devices.

 

All of this happens outside of VMWare itself: the app is affecting the rest of my system.

I've seen the external drive ejection problem reported elsewhere, the mouse/keyboard issue is new to me.

 

Anyway, does anyone have similar experiences or solutions to either of these extremely frustrating issues?

 

Thanks, Jeremy


New VM from Library: customization desen't propmt for IP

Hi,

I'm using vSphere 6.5 with a content library populated with s windows 2012 template. In the vceneter customization spec manager I've created a specification that has to prompt me fro an IP.

If I deploy a VM from a template NOT in library, using the customization decribed obove, it correctly prompts me for the IP address

If I deploy a VM from a template in library, using the customization decribed obove, it DO NOT prompts me for the IP address

 

Any idea?

Thanks

I haven't had any issues while operating my VM, however when I shut down the OS, and quit the application I get a crash report stating that VMware has quit unexpectedly. Anyone else having this issue?

Load Balancer 443 to VIP and 8443 to Pool

0

Dev team wants SSL to terminate at the NSX LB and then to initiate another

SSL session from LB to the pool servers at 8443. In the past I've used

passthrough and my first attempt is giving me a

502 Bad Gateway

The server returned an invalid or incomplete response. 

 

Do I need to configure "Pool Side SSL" in the application profile used by the VIP?

Any other tips for 443 to the VIP and 8443 on the back end?

 

Thank you!

Trying to use Workstation Player 12 at a multiuser-environment

0
0

Hi there.

 

I'm trying to use the VMware-Workstation-Player 12 at a Ubuntu-16.04 LTS Client with a multiuser-environment.

Actually I've installed the VMware-Player by using the admin-account and I've configured a WIN-10 as guest.

Now I tried to use this VM with a normal user-profile. The installation of the guest is located at /opt/vmware. It accords necessary rights to every user (read / write).

Now, at the first startup by using a normal user-account, VMware asks for a valid email for registration. At the next step I select the existing installation of the WIN-10-guest at /opt/vmware.

After choosing the *.vmx - file, the virtual machine appears at the library. If I try to start it, nothing happens. There is no problem report, not a flashing of the desktop, nothing.

 

I hope, I could explain the problem. Is there a possibility to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Stefan

ESXI 6.5 Console constantly "pauses"

0
0

Hello,

   Using 6.5 for the first time finally. Built a Server 2012 R2 VM with SQL. If I select "Open Browser Console" from the host management page, it will constantly pause and I have to keep hitting the start button.

However, it does not appear that the machine is actually pausing. It responds to RPC calls, pings, and I can still log in via our remote management tools.

 

How can I be sure that the machine is not stopping some functionalities? It is going to be a critical server next week and I want to be sure it is running properly.

 

Thanks

Diagnosing slow Windows guest performance

0
0

Hi,

 

I'd posted shortly after I built my new computer on this issue. I'm posting again because a) never got a reply there and b) I've new info.

 

My new computer is a Skylake Xeon with 32GB running Windows Server 2016. It has a decent graphics card too. I allocate 5 gig and 4 cores for a Windows 10 guest VM. The VM is super slow. A good example is scrolling the browser window. Scrolling up and down puts the CPU (as measured in Task Manager of VM) at 50%.  On the host, doing so doesn't result in any change in the CPU utilization.  Everything else is unbearably slow as well - like using a ten year old computer.

 

Same issue with my Windows Server 2008 guest VM. Painfully slow and CPU jumps to 50% if I scroll a web page.

 

I've invested a lot of time in setting up my computer and I generally like VMware Workstation. But if I can't figure out this performance bottleneck I am going to have to abandon the product. Please - any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Migration problem

Hello everyone, I am new to the topic of virtual machines and I am appearing a problem that I do not know how to solve it

 

I'm telling you I'm using VMware vSphere 6 Hypervisor and I have the following problems;

 

I am exporting a linux ubuntu 12.06 that is in citrix and when I export it in ovf format and I try to load it in the esxi it asks me to add a .vmdk file and the only one I see is a .vhd and when I export it by. There is a problem with an .xml but when I check inside .ov I do not see any .xml

 

Also try from the converter and when you load it when you turn it on you start blinking the led of Mayus and scrolling block and I played with the 3 types of controller on the disk and no achievement to turn it on without this happening

 

Has someone happened to you and been able to solve it or what other method can I do to get that citrix machine?

 

Thank you very much and I hope to help

SRM w/Array Based Replication VM LUN Placement

0
0

If you're using array based replication with SRM does that mean that all VM's you place on a LUN have to be part of a recovery plan?

Also, when you re-protect is the data still on the original LUN or does that get blown away (assuming nothing major happened to the SAN) and need to be completely replicated or is it still there and you push changes to it?  Does that also mean you change the direction of the replication at the SAN level.  Reprotect and make the original site the primary and change the replication back again?

About restoration of NSX Edge

Hello.

 

To restore the NSX Edge after restoring the settings to the new NSX Manager r Can you deploy by displaying the displayed NSX Edge?

 

Just by restoring the settings to the new NSX Manager, NSX Edge recognizes that the virtual appliance will not be deployed simply by being displayed in "Web and Sphere Client" Netwoking and Security "NSX Edge".

USB Drive Disconnecting

My virtual machine keeps losing connectivity to an external USB Drive that is hosted on my Macbook Pro.  Is there any way I can a) prevent this; b) edit a file so that the connection comes back; c) understand what might be causing this to happen?

There is nothing that is obvious that makes this connection go away.  When it does go away the options under "Settings" > "USB & Bluetooth" also disappear.  I cannot duplicate this at will.

This has been happening for quite some time and I find it a pain to shut down the VM and then restart it.

 

I have Fusion V 8.5.8 (5824040).

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Changing between full screen and window on VMRC generates error in vCenter

0
0

Hi,


I am running the latest version of vCenter 6.5 with the latest version of ESXi 6.5 on the hosts.

 

I have the VMRC installed


When I open a remote console with VMRC and go to full screen and then back to window I get the following logged in Recent Tasks

 

Name: VirtualMachine.setDisplayTopology.label

Status: The operation is not supported on the object

 

Going to full screen doesn't generate this. Only going back to window from full screen.


Any ideas?

"Unsupported hardware family" when transferring from esxi

0
0

When attempting to transfer a vm from esxi 6.5 free to VMware Fusion Pro via the "download from server", the system proceeds to download all 100GB of the VM, and only AFTER it has spent hours doing this, it gives a notice:

Screen Shot 2017-06-28 at 10.02.30 AM.png

(Unsupported hardware family 'vmx-12').

 

Worse, after churning through all that bandwidth and adding read/write cycles to my SSD's, it then deletes the "offending" VM from the destination machine, making me start over the whole tedious process from scratch.

 

While this may not technically be a bug, it is definitely in need of a fix, for two reasons:

 

1) It is very poor practice to not do such checks before undertaking large data transfers; and

2) It is poor practice to delete the file you just transferred while giving the user no opportunity to intervene to try to fix the problem.

 

It is unclear what the solution to the above problem is - so if anyone has an idea - that will be helpful. According to the documentation, hardware version 12 should be compatible with VMware Fusion Pro. But anyway, this silly programming is making things much harder to uncover and fix.
