Got error message: "Invalid target disk adapter type: pvscsi"

$

Hi everyone!

 

I have an OVA file that I deployed successfully on existing versions of VMWare Workstation Pro. When I try deploying it on the 2017 Tech Preview, I get the error "Invalid target disk adapter type: pvscsi" and the import fails.

 

Any idea why this is happening? Is this a known limitation of the Tech Preview or a change in design?

 

 

Thanks,

Ram.


VPN only connection from the port group

$

Hello,

 

I would like all of the VMs in a port group to connect to the net only through a vpn. Be it hideme VPN or any other provider.

 

So is it possible to configure a vSwitch with ports to use a specific connection for the VPN? I.e. to define VPN server, login and password?

 

Also, in case of the VPN disconnection, to siply disconnect all the network traffic, as if i would pull out the eth cable?

Issues with ovftool an machine import in WS 14.0

Hi all,

i have a serious problem with Workstation 14 and import of OVA´s  uing VirtualSCSI Adapter.

 

In workstation 12 and earlier, OVA´s with VirtualSCSI got installed with warning and get´s translatet to lsilogig.

 ==>C:\Users\KarstenBott\Sources.labbuildr\OVA found
 ==>found Nested_ESXi6.5d_Appliance_Template_v1.0.ova in C:\Users\KarstenBott\Sources.labbuildr\OVA
 ==>Importing from OVA Nested_ESXi6.5d_Appliance_Template_v1.0, may take a while
Warning:
 - The specified operating system identifier 'VMware ESXi 6.5' (id: 104) is not supported on the selected host. It will be mapped to the following OS identifier: 'Other (32-bit)'.
 - Hardware compatibility check is disabled.
 - Line 52: Unsupported virtual hardware device 'VirtualSCSI'

 

In Workstation 14, the same import leads to an error:

 

==>Importing from OVA Nested_ESXi6.5d_Appliance_Template_v1.0, may take a while
Warning:
 - Line -1: Unsupported value 'vmware.tools.internalversion' for attribute 'key' on element 'ExtraConfig'.
 - Line -1: Unsupported value 'vmware.tools.requiredversion' for attribute 'key' on element 'ExtraConfig'.
Error: Invalid target disk adapter type: pvscsi
[success]

 

 

So why does Workstation 12 utilize lsilogig during OVA Import where 14 tries to use (unsupported ? ) pvscsi ?

PVSCSI is still. available in 14, i have machines successfully booting with it.

 

the machines i tried to import are lamw´s NestedESXI OVA´s that worked pretty well prior 14.

Hello,

 

in a standalone esxi 6.5, during the import of a vm via web client I stopped it, so now I have an entry in the web client that point to a vmx file that doesn't exists: in the list of virtual machines in the web client I have, as virtual machine name, the path of the vm that doen't exists and in Status field the "invalid" value.

 

How I can delete the entry? Is it possible?

 

I attach an image with 2 vm, the one invalid and one valid:

UEM to force Chrome browser to open certain URL when IE is the default browser set in Windows

$

0

Hi

 

I am very new to UEM and wondered if it was possible within UEM to force a particular URL to open in Chrome.  I have already created a desktop shortcut to the said URL to open in Chrome which works fine, however when links are sent around via email or opened from our intranet they are opening in IE (configured as the Windows default browser) which is no good for the site in question.

 

Any advice gratefully received, thanks in advance.

Chrome Kisok Mode Application Pool

$

Hi,

 

VMware View Administrator 7.2

 

I have WebApp RDSH servers for using applications that open in browsers.  Three in IE with no issues.  Which I configured through GPO to open in full screen mode and works fine with configurations.

 

Have a WebApp that only opens with Chrome.  I have searched all over and found a way for it to work, but can't seem to get the Application pool configured to open.  Here is how it is set up on the server which opens with no problem.

 

Target Example:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk "http://www.google.com"

Opens in Kiosk mode for the application specified on server.  Ran as change user /install.... change user /execute

 

When I set up application pool in manual.  Receive Application has not been installed with the quotes or without the quotes around C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

Shows as status available without the quotes, unavailable with the quotes.

Image Manual Pool Path: with quotes.

Which when I try to open I get application when shows available:

The application could not be launched, possibly because it is missing or misconfigured (without quotes).  Contact your administrator.

 

With quotes status application not available.  Which I know is not the proper way to set this up but tried to mirror settings on server.

 

Has anyone used this and have a work around?  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How to use vmnic0 and vmnic1 properly for performance?

$

Months ago, when I set up a lab using a handful of old Hpe ProLiant G6's (which run ESXi 6.0U3 Hpe version flawlessly), I had only plugged in one patch cable to the two onboard nics. ESXi installs with only a vmnic0. I've even played with vMotion on that setup.

 

I decided to patch cable the second nic to the switch as well, but wasn't sure what I should do with the vmnic1 that appeared.

 

The simple thing I did was just add vmnic1 to the vSwitch0, but I have no idea about the "Teaming and failover", I left that default.

 

I noticed when I click "vmnic0 1000 Full", it would orange highlight the vmk0 and the vm's.

 

When I click "vmnic1 1000 Full", it would orange only the vm's.

 

Since vm's are orange on both nics, this means when a client does … rdp/ica into a vm, the host will decide which nic the client goes through?

 

I'd like a standard set up where host1 will run vm's off the datastore of host2. Because running vm's off their own host's datastore is a no no. Want to keep it simple with all hosts being an ESXi box before I dive into dedicated iSCSI server or vSAN.

 

I'm mostly interested in performance, and less interested in redundancy, I don't want to do anything production fancy like getting a whole second switch for failovering. If a nic is ever going to die on these 10 year old boxes, they're getting tossed out.

Youtube Performance Poll

$

Hey guys,

 

Simple question here, if I have a basic Horizon setup, say v7.2, should I be expected to be able to view Youtube videos at 480p?

 

No GPUs or anything, nothing fancy, just 1 or 2 vCPU and 2 GB RAM. I'm testing this and where I wouldn't necessarily expect it to play 720p+ videos very well I would have thought 480p is a reasonable expectation.

 

I've tested with PCoIP and Blast, Blast is slightly better and it's kinder watchable but I'd give it a 7/10 as they break up a fair bit. Maybe just a general poll in response as to what should be expected for this sort of setup would be useful.

 

Cheers,

vmware cloud foundation

Hi All ,

 

I have been trying to understand the current trends in migrating workloads to cloud .

one of the solutions which vmware is providing and partnered with cloud provider like IBM is to use vmware cloud foundation (VCF) inside ibm bluemix and other major vendors.

consider a situation where on premise environmet is running on vsphere and if  vms needs to migrated to any cloud provider (for example AWS,Bluemix or azure) .does this king of migration

needs presence of VCF in cloud provider  (to have similar type of virtual machines format)??

Horizon 7.3.1 Blast network port?

$

Hi folks,

 

I am reviewing the external connection network port section of this document.

https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/vmware-horizon-7-end-user-computing-network-…

 

I see that Blast could use TCP 443, UDP 443, TCP 8443, or UDP 8443 depending on network quality.

 

Is that port number and type chosen automatically and dynamically?

I am connecting with Blast protocol externally and looking at the firewall, I do not see any 8443 traffic, only TCP 443.

I would like to limit the ports open if possible and remove 8443 all together if it is not necessary.

 

Thanks

ThinApp doesn't work in combination with VMware UEM 9.3

Hi everyone,

 

Since we've updated our clients to version 9.3 of the VMware User Enviorement Manager some ThinApps stopped working (Windows ErrorID 1000). The problem is likely caused by VMware UEM. If we stop the VMware Flex Engine Service in Windows the application works just fine. Once we activate it again it stops functioning. Also, if we downgrade back to version 8.7 of UEM the application also works fine. Some technical specs:

OS: Windows 8.1

ThinApp: Tested with 5.1 and 5.2.3 (both fail with UEM 9.3)

UEM: 9.3 (Doesn't work) and tested with 8.7 (Does work)

 

If more info is needed, please ask.

Thanks in advance!

Update Lease and Archive Days in vRA Blueprint Properties using vRO

I'd like to update/enable the Lease (days) and Archive (days) Property values of a Blueprint and not having much success using the out-of-the-box "Create / update property to blueprint" Workflow in vRO.... I'm thinking this either can't be done or I'm not using the correct Property Names. At this point, I was only able to locate the following Properties:

 

__Cafe.Request.VM.LeaseDays

__Cafe.Request.VM.ArchiveDays

 

I am trying to avoid having to edit all my Blueprints on individual basis and apply changes globally.

 

Thx. Ron

Recomposing Win10 1709 with Horizon 7.4, stuck at customizing

$

Hello:

 

We recently started looking at Windows 10 1709 since Horizon 7.4 has support for it (and other versions as well).   However, when recomposing any pool, it gets stuck on the "customizing" step for the desktops in the pool.  We are using a customization specification (sysprep) because we prefer this method over quickprep.  This has worked fine with Windows 10 1607.  When I check, the desktops are stuck at the Windows logon screen and will sit there indefinitely.  In the events log, it shows entries like this:

 

Provisioning error occurred for Machine win101709002: Customization operation timed out

 

Automatic error recovery for Pool win101709: attempting to restart Machine win101709002

 

Are there still problems with 1709?  Anybody been able to get it to work?  We are pretty plain here with our setup, nothing really special going on but just can't seem to get this working.

 

Thanks.

View 7.2 Application Pool Problems

Hi,

 

Horizon View Administrator 7.2

Composer Automated RDSH Farms

Servers 2012 R2 & 2016 (fully updated)

 

 

 

I have two problems happening on my application pools.  Some are manual pools, but happens on both.  Logging on in client and html has same result.

  1. launching app receive "Bring Attention Required to Front" before application loads.  Takes a up to a minute to load.
  2. creates a temp profile on server 2016 instead of user profile.

This is happening on Server 2016.

I have applications on a Server 2012 R2.  Still receives #1. error but loads user profile, which in reading temp profiles were a problem at one time with 2012 R2.

 

Has anyone had this problem?  Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a client that isn't able to connect to the Horizon pool on his mac. When on PC, it goes through. VMWare Blast/PCoIP both don't work. It must be a port issue, but I can't seem to find anything specific for mac's. Am I wrong?
