Pink Screen on 6.7 Updates - Why?

$

0

The last stable update I've been able to use for 6.7 on my machine was build 10176879 -- attempting to update to any of the newer patches / releases has been a failed attempt each time, getting so far as to start booting until appearing with the pink screen as seen in the image below. As far as I can tell the system BIOS is the latest version -- so at this point I'm a little bit lost as to what's causing the issue.

 

Motherboard: Intel S1200SP

BIOS Version: S1200SP.86B.03.01.0038.062620180344

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270 v6

Enable / Disable AES-NI instruction set in VMWare Workstation Client

$

This is a longshot, but here goes.

 

I am using VMWare Workstation 14.1.3 on Windows 10 x64 with a Windows 10 x64 Client VM.  The host machine (Dell Precision 7510) has a newer processor that supports the AES-NI instruction set. That seems to propagate to the Client machines which also support the AES-NI instruction set.  Is there any way to disable the AES-NI instruction set on the Client VM (for testing purposes)?  This is usually found in the Bios, but when I went into the Setup for the Client VM, the setting for AES-NI support was nowhere to be found.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

configuring night vision on windows 10 1703 virtual desktops

$

Hi VMware Community!

 

We have multiple windows10 1703 desktop-pools and cant configure night vision in the display settings on the machines.

 

 

I've already googled this issue and found out that the night vision feature is greyed  out in Windows 10 1703 Creators Update if the graphics driver is installed via Windows Update:

Windows 10 Help Forums

So I've uninstalled the VMware SVGA 3D driver in the device manager on my test machine and rebooted. The driver is reinstalled automatically but i still cant configure night vision.

 

This issue can also be caused by registry settings:

How To Enable or Disable Night Light in Windows 10 | Password Recovery

I've also deleted the registry keys as written in the tutorial but still greyed out.

 

I'm wondering if there is maybe an issue with the SVGA 3D driver... Does anyone else have this problem on a windows 10 1703 farm? Any ideas in general?

 

 

Thanks in advance!


Vcenter 6.5 Certificate Field Blank/will not issue to ESXI host.

$

Hi all,

 

Having an issue with the VCS certificate Manager w/ESXi hosts.


VCS is 6.5 latest build, ESXi hosts are 6.5 latest build. VCS is on Windows, not VMCA.

 

edit* the VCS does have a valid trusted cert from our CA. No issues there.

 

I'm having two issues that are more than likely related:


First in the VCS under the certificate tab of a selected host - the certificate data field is just blank. No data. Cannot figure out why I'm not seeing ESXi host certificates.And when i say blank - just a blank field.

 

Second, when I try to renew the host certificates, the job says it completed, but it actually never did. After restart of the host/agent - the ESXi still shows the old certificate. Obviously nothing is reflected in the VCS because the cert tab is blank.

 

I have 12 hosts and they all do the same thing.

 

Google has been useless as well VMWare docs.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Strange Host Responsiveness Issues

$
0
0

- Recently upgraded hosts to 6.7 and vCenter to 6.7a

- Hosts are 'not responding' in vCenter Server

- Can ping

- Cannot acess web interface or login via SSH

- Can access it via console, but after you enter login information and press enter it freezes (cursor is still blinking)

- If you remove the host from the inventory and shut down a virtual machine on the host it brings everything back online and the host can be re-added to vCenter

- Four identical hosts, has happened on three of the four (twice on one)

- The host that had this issue twice now will not come back after trying the above method and is completely unresponsive at the console

Reset all certificates - getting errors?

$
0
0

Our certificate for our VCSA appliance showed as revoked (expired) and would not allow access to manage the vSPhere environment via web browser (at least in Firefox).  Using Chrome, I was able to use the HTML5 version to get in, and was also able to get into the GUI manager for the PSC where you can manage the certificates.  The language was a bit confusing for the cert files I was provided, but there were 3 tabs from what I recall:  Machine Certs, Solution User Certs and Root Certs, which I thought I had uploaded properly.  There's some technique to be employed where combining certs to create a chain is necessary so that might have been why that part didn't work.  The problem now is, I can't get back to that manager GUI, and when I try to use the Certificate Manager via CLI, I'm getting errors trying to both upload what I did in the GUI and trying to reset to get back to square 1 and start over with, perhaps, a self-signed cert or something...

 

When I choose any of the options in the cert manager, including resetting all or generate certificates, no matter what I changed or what defaults I use for the config, it always seems to give errors "updating services", then it rolls back the changes it was trying to make.  Each time it takes roughly 15-20 minutes before I see that nothing has changed and I still can't get back into the GUI to manage the VMs, etc., and the browser just shows there's an invalid certificate (Chrome) or won't allow me to even proceed with caution (Firefox).  It says check the /var/[directory]/log for details, but the log only shows the errors that I get (maybe I'm not seeing the right thing?).  ANy assistance on this would be great as I need to get back into the system to manage and update the certificates ASAP.  Thanks.

windows 10 1809 slow

$

I downloaded the Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 ISOs the day they became available so I can start working on my templates.

 

I built the templates with EFI, paravirtual for the C drive and vmxnet3 adapter. I've been using this combo for other versions of windows 10/8/7and windows server 2008r2/2012r2/1016 without issue.

 

So far Windows 2019 (with desktop experience) seems to be ok at least for a basic vm and guest customization. Haven't tried anything else yet.

 

Windows 10 1809 on the other hand is very, very slow to reboot after the initial install or even just rebooting after making some changes post install. After installing the OS it took 10-15 minutes for the initial windows setup stuff (user, security settings, etc) to appear . I tried a VM set to BIOS and it seemed faster but was still quite slow. Server 2019 and other versions of windows 10 have no issue.

 

The hosts are esxi 6.5 and 6.7.

 

I haven't had a chance to try every combo of BIOS/EFI/vmxnet3/e1000e/paravirtual/lsi sas to see if one is the cause of the issue but was wondering if anyone else had noticed any issues or if it was just me?

 

Thanks

Paravirtual SCSI controller oddities

$
0
0

Our View environment consists of 200 linked clones made from a master Win7, 32bit machine. The master has a single 24GB disk that was using the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller. To improve performance and cut down on CPU load we decided to change over to the Paravirtualized SCSI controller. After making this change on the master, we recomposed the pool. Once the recompose was finished I expected to look at the settings of any of my linked clone machines and see them also using the Paravirualized SCSI controller. Much to my surprise I got mix and match as shown below. When linked clones are made it also creates a small 20MB disk along with the 24GB disk. I got two Paravirtual controllers, on Paravirtual and one LSI, and two LSI controllers. Any idea why?

How to get list of VM Templates

$

The following code is a good example of how to get a list of running VM’s:

this.vmService = VapiAuthHelper.StubFactory.CreateStub<VM>(SessionStubConfiguration);

List<VMTypes.Summary> vmList = this.vmService.List(new VMTypes.FilterSpec());

 

Is there an analogous set of API’s to get a list of VM templates?

RAM Erhöhung einer VM über Web Client kommt aber nicht am OS an

$

Hallo,

 

ich möchte gerne den RAM meiner VM erhöhen, fahre dafür die Kiste runter und ändere den Wert auf z.B. 16GB.

Fahre ich die VM danach hoch, zeigt er mir auf Windows Ebene immer noch 8GB an und nicht 16GB. Ein Blick in der VMX Datei bestätigt die 8GB.

In der Web Oberfläche sehe ich aber die 16GB. In den VM Einstellungen sind auch keine Grenzwerte beim Arbeitsspeicher gesetzt.

Das installierte OS ist ein Windows 2008R2 64bit also

 

Wir nutzen VSphere 6.5 und die VM ist eine Version 8

 

Anbei ein kleiner Auszug aus der VMX

 

.encoding = "UTF-8"

config.version = "8"

virtualHW.version = "10"

vmci0.present = "TRUE"

svga.vramSize = "8388608"

numvcpus = "6"

sched.cpu.units = "mhz"

tools.upgrade.policy = "upgradeAtPowerCycle"

 

Hat noch jemand eine Idee woran das liegen könnte ?

 

Danke

Add RAM grayed out

We made out vSphere server a virtual server in our environment and we need to now add more RAM to the server. When we go to add RAM the "Memory Hot Plug" is grayed out and we can not up the RAM for this server. We can also not shutdown the server to add the RAM because then vSphere would not be available to add more RAM.
