Re: WS 12.5 hostd fails to run on RHEL 6.8

Thanks for your detail info, that helps us a lot.

It's a defect, we've opened a bug to track it. Workstation has the module Zlib1.2.8, it should not use the module from host OS.

Re: How can I use SD unused space?

$

It may not be a good idea to use ESXi SD card for some other usages.

As you have created only one Virtual raid disk for ESXi Installation, try to create one more raid disk with remaining space. ( if it allows )

Then PowerOn the esxi, it should show you disk with 29 GB space.

 

As said, such configuration is not recommended. Use SD card or Flash drive dedicatedly for ESXi installation.

Re: NSX Guest Introspection VMs Network Port Requirement

Hi,

 

Based on my understanding:

 

- Like NSX Manager, NSX Controller and NSX Edge, GI SVM is excluded from DFW.

 

- Communication between GI SVM and ESXi host that it is running on is internal communication, I am not sure why you need to know this for your deployment as the traffic is not going out of the ESXi host.

  Nevertheless, there is this 'epsec-mux' driver on the ESXi host that provide the internal communication between the GI SVM and the thin agent running on the VM (part of VMware Tools).


- GI SVM needs to communicate with NSX Manager with RABBITMQ (TCP Port 5671).

 

- There seems to be no direct communication between GI SVM with vCenter, but I may be mistaken and the experts in this community may be able to provide more information on this..

 

 

Thanks,

Hey,

Thanks for your response.  Since my esxi1 was not pinging esxi2, I decided to create another esxi (esxi3) and test. It worked.

 

Not sure why I faced the issue with esxi1, but its resolved now.

 

Thanks for all your help. Justin

It depends a bit what the layout of the text file is (I assume a VM name per line), but you can do something like this

 

$tgtDatastore=Get-Datastore-NameMyDS

 

Get-Contentvmnames.txt|%{

  Move-VM-VM$_-Datastore$tgtDatastore-Confirm:$false

}

Thanks for the detailed bug report.  WEB_PLATFORM.getLocale() is not yet implemented indeed and will be added soon.  The fact that Unicode characters are not displayed correctly is also a known problem being fixed.  Stay tune for a future Fling!

This should give you an overview of the setting per VM

 

foreach($dscinGet-DatastoreCluster){

  $defaultVM=$dsc.ExtensionData.PodStorageDrsEntry.StorageDrsConfig.PodConfig.DefaultVmBehavior

  foreach($vmin$dsc.ExtensionData.PodStorageDrsEntry.StorageDrsConfig.VmConfig){

    Get-View-Id$vm.Vm-PropertyName|

    Select@{N='DSC';E={$dsc.Name}},

      Name,

      @{N='Behavior';E={

        if($vm.Behavior){$vm.Behavior}

        else{"Default ($($defaultVM))"}

      }}

  }

}

It looks as if you didn't initialise $esxcli.

Did you do a Get-EsxCli?

Perhaps you could show us the script you are trying to run

Matt, please tell me one thing...

 

so i have 8 Lan cards .. Lets say L1...L2....to .. L8

so lets say i bond L1 and L2 together and give it iSCSI to switch one

and L7 & L8 bond and give it to iSCSI to switch Two...

 

so in total i am left with 4 Lan cards... again if i bond then in two each ... say L3 & L4 to switch 1 and L5 & L6 to switch 2...  and i chose this for my all other traffic ... like Mgmt + vMotion + VMNet ... is this is good practice .. and can i even do this ..

 

other thing which i am not clear is ... can i have VLAN done for all 4 types of traffic ... like with the above planning i want iSCSI to be on seperate VLAN (10) .. MGMt on 20 .... vMotion on 30 ... VMNet on 40... is this is possible as i am able to do this on HyperV... and at last if this is possible .. i want all my client VMs to have their own VLAN.. like if i have client 1 .. he will have his independent VLAN .. so will client 2 and 3...

 

please advise if above makes any sense

Is the CD available inside the guest OS after the Mount-Tools cmdlet?

From the error it looks it isn't.

Hi

I have the same problem on Fedora 24 host and Win7 guest. Workstation 12.5 says there is a newer version of tools 10.0.10 available, but fails to download it - it exits on 32% every time and throws an error. If I click 'Check for updates' it sasys 'No updates available at this time'.

I have looked for the iso file in /usr/lib/vmware/isoimages, but all that is at that location is a file called tools-key.pub. No folders :-|

Please advise
