Re: Diagnosing slow Windows guest performance

0
0

The first thing that comes to mind (with your other post Diagnosing slow Windows 10 guest performance about Win10 not able to run a WinSAT due to encoding problem) is whether you installed VMware Tools. Same question as well for your other VMs.

 

If you don't mind posting the dxdiag of your host machine and each individual VM; and a recent VMware.log of the VMs that you want to diagnose. This way we don't have to go back and forth about every detailed configuration parameter.


Re: "Unsupported hardware family" when transferring from esxi

Agree with your points about the way the error (or maybe even non-error) is handled.

 

But anyway, to the point of getting the VM running in Fusion 8.x Pro; since it is already HW version 12, it should be compatible.

 

You should be able to download the VM straight from the ESXi 6.5 datastore where the VM is stored using ESXi 6.5 UI HTML client (assuming that you have the appropriate access rights and know how to do it). After you download it, rename the folder with a .vmwarevm extension and it should become a VMware Fusion bundle that you can open in Fusion.

 

Should you decide to attempt the download and it doesn't work after downloading over 100GB, I disavow all responsibility. But -- this message will NOT self destruct in 5 seconds

A quick search of VMTN and I found this link:  VHD file to VMDK   It sounds like there are some free software options to convert the drive.

 

Let us know if that is helpful or not.

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?

Hey bluefirestorm -

 

Thanks. Oddly, I tried downloading it from the web interface, and couldn't figure out how to do that.

 

When I go into the shell, the disks look like this:

diskname.vmdk  (a small text file)
diskname-flat.vmdk (the actual binary data store)

 

So, I navigate to that same spot in the Datastore Browser (GUI), and it only shows the single disk, i.e.

 

diskname.vmdk

 

While it shows this as being the full size - 37.46GB for this disk - when I hit "download" all it does is download the 525 byte text file (header).

 

It is quite likely I am missing something, but whatever I am missing renders the download process quite useless.

 

So, my latest attempt is using a 3rd party backup software (verticalbackup) to make a copy to my main system.

 

I am scratching my head at why this is such a difficult process? One of the reasons I bought VMWare Fusion Pro was to manage VMs on an esxi box, but so far the benefit is quite limited....

 

Thanks for any further insights.

About restoration of NSX Edge

0
0

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".

Re: USB Drive Disconnecting

Thanks, Wil.

 

I don't think the USB External drive is being put to sleep, as it is accessible from the Mac, meaning I see it and can access it and the data on it.  Having done that, the VM Settings still DO NOT show any USB External disks.  Having said that, I did check out the link you referenced and I will try the utility, "Keep Drive Spinning", to see if that helps.  I'll post any results in a few days, as sometimes it takes a couple of days before it goes missing!  (Points awarded IF it stays for several days!)

 

The VM is NOT stored on this external drive.  Yes, unplugging the drive that contains the VM would be bad!!!  And yes, that's experience talking!  We all have to learn from experience.

 

Actually, I did call VMware support and they remoted in, looked at the settings and saw no USB disks available, said, "Hmmmm!", shut down the VM, restarted it and checked the Settings again, and of course the external disk was there, connected it and said, "There, all fixed.".  So I thanked them, and now I thought I would ask the "world" if anyone has any ideas.

 

Again, thanks for your time and advice.  I do appreciate it.

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?


Re: "Unsupported hardware family" when transferring from esxi

Sorry I should have checked first before replying about the download VM from UI client. I haven't tried the upload/download of an entire VM to/from datastore before thus the disavow statement. I have so far only downloaded/uploaded the vmx files but haven't paid attention to the actual files present in the datastore browser.

 

With your reply I did go in and check. It looks like the data store browser only exposes the descriptor (i.e. <disk name>.vmdk) in the UI client and not the entire set of VMDK. So that explains why you only got a 525 byte file. I also had the same experience as you did.

 

I would think because there are different virtual disk types and some disk types in ESXi will not work with Fusion/Workstation. Plus there could be complicated setups where a VM under ESXi refers to different virtual disks that resides in different datastores.

 

So on the surface, it does look unnecessarily complicated especially for relatively simple setups that are made intentionally to be compatible with Fusion/Workstation. I don't know if it will be so complicated if it is a paid ESXi version that comes with vCenter.

 

I don't know Vertical Backup but the point about renaming with the folder .vmwarevm extension should still be valid if Vertical Backup does not do it for you.

Re: 4k Screen on host (Windows 10) has small resolution on guest (lubuntu) for VMWare Workstation Player 12

Hi,

 

Which OS? Guest or Host?

 

Host - Not really an option.

Guest - For the work, I am doing right now, can't change the guest either.

 

 

And nothing has worked till now, which is very weird. And I am not the only one continuing to have this problem. So perhaps not an issue from our end and more of a problem somewhere with VMWare Worksation Player?

 

If you have a specific set of steps that should fix such a problem, could that be released somewhere in an official capacity? That's probably the only way this could confirm if users aren't making a mistake anywhere while changing settings.

 

If you'd like more information on this or my VM settings, please let me know.

Re: Vmware client integration plugin 6.0 and MAC OS X (El Capitan)

Sorry, I'm not trying to help, I'm saying "me too!".

 

Not only that, but vCenter keeps prompting me to actually install the package over and over.

 

I tried saving a retired VM as an OVA ... needless to say it works fine when I use the native windows client on

one of the VMs on our cluster - but downloading it there, then copying it to my desktop over the network to

then finally push it to its desired resting place is a real pain.

 

Oh, it's Sierra in my case, not El Capitan, but the problem was around then, too ... it worked w/ version 5.5 something

under SnowLeopard, but not anymore ...

How to stop the service of vmware web client 6.5

I could not find the web client 6.5 service in the services list any more, where could I stop it?

Here is the story, I install the vcenter 6.5 windows version on the same system with STS IDE, I need to stop the web client 6.5 service and start the virgo server to debug. Else the port 9090 is used.

Is there anything I should know?
