All of a sudden I am receiving an unable to authenticate when trying to use the VSphere Web Client when logging into a VCenter server running VCenter server 6. I can however authenticate and log in with the same credentials when I use the normal VSphere Client but I need to access feature that are only available in the web client. The VCSA is a virtual machine on an ESXi host running ESXi 5.5. Im pretty new to VMware and Im not sure where to even start troubleshooting. Any help is greatly appreciated
Hi all, we have a Horizon 7.1 environment consisting of the following:
4 x Unified Access Gateways
6 x Connection Servers
1 x Composer Server
1 x MS SQL Server
We are looking at enabling the Horizon Pod feature as part of a possible expansion. Our question is, can multiple Pods all use the same vCenter?
Thanks in advance
I‘m new to setting up ESXi in a long time, and am setting v6.5u1 up on my Mac Mini.
I installed a 1tb USB drive, and the install seems to have gone fine, without any issues. After booting up, though, I don’t have any datastores created.
Looking at the Web UI, I see three partitions.
1: EFI System - 249 MB
2: Basic Data - 2.5 GB
3: Basic Data - 928.13 GB
However, the partition diagram shows the 928.13 GB partition as free space.
The link to create a new data store is greyed out, and the table is empty under the data stored tab.
I have searched for quite awhile, without any real success finding anything that helps me out.
Hopefully, someone here has gone through this install, and might be able to help guide me on narrowing down a fix.
TIA
VMWare Essentials plus licensing question: We have 3 servers, one of them is old and we bought a replacement. When I try to add the new server to vCenter it won't let me because we have our limit of 3 already. So it's asking me to remove one of my 3 servers before I can add the new one. If I remove the old server from vCenter what will happen to the VMs running on it? They are production VMs. The vm's running on it are using local storage, there is no shared storage.
Hi,
I have created a VM within Workstation 14 Pro and then exported it to an OVF or OVA file. If I then try and import it as a new machine I get the error that it 'did not pass OVF specification conformance or virtual hardware compliance checks', but little else in the way of telling me exactly what failed.
Exporting the VM from VMX to OVF/A via ovftool and then importing results in the same error.
If I tell Workstation to ignore the error, the VM is imported with a Hardware Compatibility of ESXi 6.5. If then export and re-import this VM then I do not get any errors.
The original VM had a hardware compatibility setting of Workstation 14.x and I cannot find any way to downgrade it. Perhaps this is not possible?
Have I run in to a bug, or is there something else I should be doing?
Buenas tardes.
Tengo una máquina virtual con CentOS 7 a la cual le quiero agregar una controladora de audio, lo que pasa, es que, al darle a editar la configuración, no me aparece para elegirla:
¿Como podría hacer para agregar una controladora de audio?
Muchas gracias.
Un saludo.
Is there a way to specify SSHsession timeout in Orchestrator's Run SSH command workflow? We seem to be getting hung up once in awhile, and it tends to happen during the destination VM boot up. Session gets opened but is not completed and get's stuck in established state indefinitely.
I am one of the admins that maintain our Mac lab images across campus. About 90% of these systems are Mac only. The other 10% are going to be running both macOS (Sierra) and Windows 10 (Fall Creators edition). We have JAMF which we are using but not to its full extent.
In the past, these machines were using boot camp for dual boot purposes. However, Fall creators update has made it near impossible to push out Win10 in boot camp without pulling hair out. We have decided to move to Fusion 10 Pro with a Shared VM. I currently have the following set up:
These items are all going out great and the experience is the same from one computer to the next. The issue is that all users have access to everything in Fusion. Any user could alter the vmx or choose to pick a net network connection.
Enter Encrypt and Restrict
It does most of what we want and, at the very least, what we need. The only problem is it requires you to encrypt which requires a password. We can't have our users prompted for a password at each launch. We could train them to store the password in the keychain but... the keychain is re created at each login. Our default profile "wipes away" the current login keychain to avoid the dreaded keychain window that no user can ever figure out how to fix.
Does this group have any suggestions for restricting the VM but balancing that with usability?
Hello,
I read the virtual disk type doc Virtual Disk Types .
It says this "Sparse disks employ the copy-on-write (COW) mechanism, in which virtual disk contains no data in places, until copied there by a write. This optimization saves storage space."
If I write some thing to disk for multiple times, so according to "copied there (to the disk) by a write", the disk will maintain several copies of previous disk data.
The storage will have duplicated old data, so why it says "This optimization saves storage space." ?
anyone can tell me why? thanks in advance.
FYI, the HTML Client that comes with SDK 6.5 or 6.5u1 has problem with the latest Java JDK on Windows 10 and MacOS High Sierra.
The client home page doesn't come up and the browser console shows errors such as:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token )
clarity-angular1.min.js:38 Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list
and
(anonymous) @ init.js:6
folder-ui.min.js:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined
The work-around for Windows 10 is to use Java SDK 1.8.0_144
We haven't found any work-around yet for MacOS High Sierra. Let us know if you have one!
Can someone tell me where VMWare is at in regards to cloning Windows 10 1709? I have not be able to clone a windows 10 build 1709 with OS Customization from vCenter. After vCenter creates a copy of the VM, Sysprep never kicks in. My 1703 build clone just fine. I've seen some discussions on the subject in the Horizon forums, but I'm not using Horizon. The bigger problem is, if I try to patch my windows 10 they will update to 1709 and I can't prevent it. Once updated I can't clone them any longer.
everything is working nicely. i want update the base image with an update to the OS and some of the apps I installed.
whats the best way to do this?
thanks

Have a problem.... We have a pool created from Parent VM with some standard applications like firefox, office, java and app volume agent installed on it.
We see that when a user with writable volume connects to this pool, writable volume is letting the user to uninstall the application that comes along with image. After they uninstall, they can never use those application even they connect to a different VM on the pool, the VM is supposed to have the all standard apps on it. Uninstall apps never show up on Add or remove programs.
Is there way to block users to uninstall the apps that comes along with image?.
I am looking for a few examples of how to do something really basic like a get-vm through the API like I use in Powercli all the time.
Hi all - long time listener, first time caller.
I'm running into this message again, it first popped up in vRA 7.2, and then recently resurfaced in vRA 7.3. The message occurs after importing the XML file and committing the update set, and then attempting to configure the OAUTH settings under basic configurations.

I am running LINUX Mint 18.2 with VMware tools 10.1.15.6211 (build-6627299) installed.
Frequently I cannot click on anything on the LINUX desktop. Hovering the mouse over items causes context messages to pop up but clicking the mouse does nothing. In order to restore clicks I have to click outside of the VM which restores click action in the VM.

Hello,
I am using the vCenter REST API to deploy OVF's which I can successfully do. However, I'm unable to get additional_parameters to work properly. Specifically, custom PropertyParams. The API either a) ignores my request, or b) returns a 500 Internal Server error with the following message: "Could not convert field 'properties' of structure 'com.vmware.vcenter.ovf.property_params'".
I have tried various approaches with no luck.
My understanding from the documentation is the request should look like this:
deployment_spec : {
/* ... */
additional_parameters : [
{
type : 'PropertyParams',
properties : [
{
id : 'custom_prop_name_found_in_ovf',
value : 'true'
}
]
}
]
}
(the above results in the conversion error)
What am I doing wrong here?!
Note that this is using the ovf deploy API:
POST https://{server}/rest/com/vmware/vcenter/ovf/library-item/id:{ovf_library_item_id}?~action=deploy
