82583V driver for ESXI 6.5
I'm playing around with a fanless i3/7100U 16GB mini pc with 6 82583V gigabit lan ports
and wanted to install ESXI 6.5 but get the message "No network adapters"
If I login and double check the controller via: lspci -v | grep "Class 0200" -B 1,
it shows 6 82583V vmnics with Class 0200: 8086:150c.
If I check in the VMware compatibility Guide, I see that it is supported via device
drivers ne1000 version 0.8.0-9vmw. What am I missing ?

Wmware ESXI - Mac
Hi,
Hope someone can clarify some things for me. I am looking for a simple virtual enviroment in my company, and want to setup some virtual MAC OS clients that people across the company can connect to for making test
I have a mac mini hardware available to run the server
I have found the ESXI server installer, but the thing I am wondering about is, if I need to wipe everything on the server to install the EXSI server ? - it can not be installed on top of the Mac OS like other software ?

VM vmdk file size is showing different in thin provisioned
We are using linux centos vm in vmware esxi with thin provisioned, we allocated and partitioned 500 GB (for example) for that VM, In inside VM if we check the used space its showing only 100 GB (for example), but if we check the vmdk storage size is 250 GB (for example)
Due to this more space is occupying in each LUN, please let us know how we can shrink/remove unused blocks in vmdk file or that particular VM
Note: We have checked there is no snapshot

vsphere5.1からvsphere6.5のアップグレード方法について
皆様
お世話になっております。
vsphere6.5のアップグレードガイド「http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-65/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-65-upgrade-guide.pdf」
には,vshere5.5からvsphere6.5へのアップグレードプロセスの記載がありますが、
vshere5.1からvsphere6.5への記載はありませんでした。
vshere5.1からvsphere6.5へは、直接アップグレードすることはできず、
例えば、vshere5.1→vsphere5.5→vsphere6.5のように、段階的にアップグレードする必要があるのでしょうか。

vmplayer position on Windows 10 desktop
I have dual displays on a Windows 10 PC. I would like vmplayer.exe to open on my second display when started. Is there an option for an .ini file or maybe command line arguments to specify position of the VMWare Player window on my desktop?
Thanks,

Please help me to pass VCA-DBT(1V0-701)
Hi
I have a favor to ask you. I failed the exam VCA-DBT(1V0-701) unfortunately.
I am very sad.
I bought the exercise text book for this exam on internet.
I thought I pass the exam because I prepare so much by using text book.
but it seemed the text book's answer were incorrect. Oh! my god.
After applying answer knowledge from the text book, I failed this exam...
I am very shocked because It was my first exam of VMware certification.
I really respect VMware products and really like VMware very much.
I always work with VMware products.
My dream was passing VCA-DBT because this is most easy test among VMware certifications,
and next step is to get to VCP, and to participate in the training course for taking the VCP.
but I failed VCA unexpectedly ! How should I prepare for this exam from now?
I hope your advice.

Issues with PowerCLI 10.0 and C#
We started observing some issues with PowerCLI 10.0 on couple of flavors of
Windows (Windows 7, Windows 2012r2, Windows 10). We have a small C#
application, we are running into couple of issues:
1/ Connect-VIServer : The 'Connect-VIServer' command was found in the module 'VMware.VimAutomation.Core', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module
VMware.VimAutomation.Core'.
Eventhough PowerCLI 10.0 has auto import feature. From PowerShell everything is working fine. And the Get-Module also
clearly shows that PowerCLI 10.0 is installed successfully.
Has anyone seen these issues?.
Regards,
Vijay

Edge debug file size limits and roll-over
When you use the debug packet [ display | capture ] interface <interface name> - what controls the
size and number of files which will be created from that command? And how can you view
how much space is available for creation of such debugs and can that be grown?
Thank you.

i7 8700 on ESXi 6.5
Hello fellow IT admins,
I am currently building server for my personal needs (Storing Files, Monthly backups of PC's, Nested Virtualization through Hyper-V, Streaming Media with Plex Media Server, Domain, Print Server etc.)
I will be using Win Server 2012 R2 VM for Storage, Streaming Media & Backups, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016 for Nested Virtualization & Win Server 2008 R2 for Print Server & Domain.
This is my current planned configuration (Note ; I have very restricted budget right now and I need server, I will be upgrading RAM in future, I'll use 16 GB kit out of my PC) :
CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor (€314.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z370P D3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (€85.99)
Memory: Kingston - FURY 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (Purchased For €0.00)
Storage: ADATA - Ultimate SU800 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For €0.00)
Storage: Western Digital - WD Purple 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For €0.00)
Storage: Western Digital - WD Purple 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For €0.00)

Storage: Western Digital - Red 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For €0.00)
Power Supply: FSP Group - 550W 80+ Silver Certified ATX Power Supply (Purchased For €0.00)
Total: €400.98
My question is will ESXi work with this config or do I have to go for AMD Ryzen ?

macOS guest and host in HiDPI - web browser problems
I'm running VMware Fusion 10 and run "macOS on macOS". My current setup
is macOS 10.13.3 host and guest on a MacBook Pro 13" Retina 2016.
I also have an old setup using VMware Fusion 8 on a MacBook Pro 15"
Retina 2012 with OS X 10.8.5 host and guest.
Running "macOS on macOS" works well except that all web browsers I
tried have problems. To get a crisp screen I use a "HiDPI" setting in
the macOS display control panel.
Google Chrome has lots of flickering. Tried some other browsers like
Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox. Either they has the flickering too or
other rendering problems. Not really usable.
SeaMonkey seems to work ok and Firefox up to version 54.0.1 seems to
work if doing a work-around, see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1305656
With Safari in VMware Fusion 8 the only problem I have is that now
and then when opening a page OS X will do a mini-crash throwing me
back to the login screen. More annoying than it sounds but I have
learned to live with it.
Problem is that in my new setup with the latest VMware Fusion and a
newer Safari all works well except searhing for text on a web page.
Then the whole page gets black except the text I search for that gets
a yellow background. See image
Note that VMware Fusion share the above problems with another major
virtualization product for macOS. I.e. this might be a general problem
with how virtualization is done on macOS. Or possibly a webkit
problem.
Is there any work-around for this? Or something you plean to address
in some future release?
