I attached the Moka5 logs. Do these help?
Also, here are screenshots of the main VM directory and the 'original directory' where I think it's reading from a master image (seems like it's a linked-clone?)

Thank pengwang, and sorry for my delay in responding.
I'm not sure of the version of View the third party is using. FYI the issue occurs with both pcoip and blast protocols.
I didn't change any of the ssl settings.
I'll follow your advice and get our third party to raise a ticket for this.
Hello,
If one has experience in Vmware administration (over 5 Years) starting from ESX 3.5 and now the goal is certification, which course is better:
VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage plus Optimize and Scale Fast Track or VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage ?
Any suggestion on training from Vmware vs. external vendors?
Thanks,
Hello,
I would appreciate any help from anyone who has successfully built a baremetal VM on a Storage DRS Cluster in the vSphere SDK. I am using c#.
I can clone vm's fine on the Storage DRS cluster, but when I am creating a baremetal VM, I am having issues with the ConfigSpec and the PodSelectionSpec. Specifically, what do I put for the Datastore and fileName properties of the VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo properties. I get an error that I have an incorrect parameter in the ConfigSpec and PodSelectionSpec. Here is some code to create the PodSelectionSpec:
StorageDrsPodSelectionSpec podSelectionSpec = newStorageDrsPodSelectionSpec();
podSelectionSpec.StoragePod = vmOBJ.DataStore.Item2;
StoragePlacementSpec podPlacement = newStoragePlacementSpec();
podPlacement.DisallowPrerequisiteMoves = true;
podPlacement.Folder = vmOBJ.Folder.Item2;
podPlacement.Type = "create";
podPlacement.ConfigSpec = (VirtualMachineConfigSpec)Session["ConfigSpec"];
podPlacement.ResourcePool = vmOBJ.ResourcePool.Item2;
podPlacement.Host = hostMoref;
VmPodConfigForPlacement vmPodConfig = newVmPodConfigForPlacement();
vmPodConfig.StoragePod = vmOBJ.DataStore.Item2;
List<PodDiskLocator> podDiskConfig = newList<PodDiskLocator>();
VirtualMachineConfigSpec tempcfgspec = (VirtualMachineConfigSpec)Session["ConfigSpec"];
VirtualDeviceConfigSpec[] tempVDCfg = tempcfgspec.DeviceChange;
foreach (VirtualDeviceConfigSpec vd in tempVDCfg)
{
VirtualDevice VD = vd.Device;
if (VD.DeviceInfo.Label.Equals("Disk"))
{
PodDiskLocator temppodloc = newPodDiskLocator();
temppodloc.DiskId = vd.Device.Key;
VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo flatBack = newVirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo();
flatBack.ThinProvisioned = true;
flatBack.DiskMode = "persistent";
flatBack.Datastore = null;
flatBack.FileName = "";
temppodloc.DiskBackingInfo = flatBack;
podDiskConfig.Add(temppodloc);
}
}
vmPodConfig.Disk = podDiskConfig.ToArray();
podSelectionSpec.InitialVmConfig = newVmPodConfigForPlacement[]{ vmPodConfig };
podPlacement.PodSelectionSpec = podSelectionSpec;
And here is the code to create the backinginfo:
VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo backInfo = newVirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo();
backInfo.ThinProvisioned = thinProvisioned;
backInfo.DiskMode = "persistent";
backInfo.Datastore = null;
backInfo.FileName = "";
VirtualDisk tempDisk = newVirtualDisk();
tempDisk.Backing = backInfo;
tempDisk.CapacityInKB = size;
tempDisk.ControllerKey = controllerKey;
tempDisk.Key = (1 + i);
tempDisk.UnitNumber = unitNumber;
tempDisk.DeviceInfo = newDescription();
tempDisk.DeviceInfo.Label = "Disk";
tempDisk.DeviceInfo.Summary = "Disk";
VirtualDeviceConfigSpec tempConfigSpec = newVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
tempConfigSpec.Device = tempDisk;
tempConfigSpec.FileOperation = VirtualDeviceConfigSpecFileOperation.create;
tempConfigSpec.Operation = VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.add;
I realize that there is a lot going on but what I can't find the answer to, is how do I let vSphere choose the datastore and what do I need to have in there to create a VM on a Storage DRS Cluster?
EUC8404 - What's New with Horizon 7
@33.00 min in. What do I lose if I switch from pcoip to blast? One thing ability to use zero client.
It seems hosts have been VIBs deployed, and controllers are prepared. VTEP interfaces are binded to the selected VDS.
The error VXLAN Gateway cannot be set on host may be related to the IP address Pool or DHCP settings of the VTEP Interfaces. Do they get IP address from DHCP or IP Pool?
If DHCP is chosen, the scope on the DHCP server (as well as the helper-addres on the default gateway) should be configured on the DHCP server, and the VLAN number and physical switch 802.1q Vlan allowed may also be important.
Easier (and more prefarrable) way is to configure an IP Pool as in the following, where all the IP related parameters are set for VTEP Vxlan interfaces:
Is it possible to check the vmkernel interfaces for VXLAN get IP addresses:
Also is it possible to check the Gateway setting of the DHCP or IP Pool:

Hello,
I used a Generic Linux 64bit for settings and was able to boot the latest Gentoo with its 4.x kernel. I see no issues with this. While 'unsupported' it should still work on any version of the hypervisor. Just be sure to use E1000 and the proper SCSI device is all.

Since you're already experienced my recommendation is take the Optimize and Scale or the Troubleshooting class. And about the VMware vs. external vendors, for the last two years I only take virtual classroom directly from VMware, it saves a lot of expenses, that may include travel and hotel expenses.
Here are the list of required training:
I've used Fusion in the past to run Windows on my Macs. Uninstalled it when I decided I could perform all the Windows tasks I needed on my old XP machine. But now I have some old OS X software (Nuance MacSpeech Scribe) that will not run under OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan). I'd like to install Mountain Lion in my Fusion VM. But I can't get it to work. I have Mountain Lion as a .dmg file.
I kind of feel like an idiot asking this, but thought I'd ask for help before I do any serious damage. Thanks in advance.
Best,
Tony Lima
Hi guys, I've run into an issue with my VDP backups. They keep failing with a "MSG_ERR_OFFLINE" message. I was able to successfully perform a full manual integrity check without issue using the instructions here: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2... just wondering if anyone has come across this issue before? I'm running VDP 5.5
Here's a screenshot of what I've got for space:
And this is what I get in the log if I try and run a manual backup
I've tried everything I could find on VDP and Avamar but nothing seems to work. Tried clearing the f and p_cache log files, restarted numerous times. Of interesting note as well I can't get to the :8543/vdp-configure page either. I can SSH to it just fine but getting to the GUI config is not possible.
Any help/suggestions anyone has would be great. I've temporarily downloaded a 60 day trial of 6.1(?) but 5.5 is essentially free for my use and I won't be able to get my new backup solution up and running until next year budget.
Hi Tony,
When you say you "can't get it to work", what exactly do you mean? Are you stuck with how to proceed with installing it, or are you encountering a specific problem or error message?
The instructions for getting started are here: VMware Documentation for OS X 10.8, under "Installation Instructions for Fusion 5.x and later".
Cheers,

i am using fusion and soemhow google land me this page.
A shorter method is below:
extract the vmdk file from ova . Create a custom vmware image. Select the correct operating system (or as close as possible).
Then when it ask for creating new disk or existing vmdk, select the previously extracted vmdk file . Then just follow default selection.
reboot and everything work.
@11 min Blast Extreme must support everything pcoip supports like smart cards and printers
VMware is aware of the issue and its scheduled to be fixed in next patch which will be released in first week of October 2016 . The workaround as of now is to restart the PSC node
Thanks
Hi all,
Recently I had to migrate some VMs from an old cluster (VSphere 5) to a new cluster (VSphere 6), with the new cluster having much newer hardware. Whilst trying to migrate the warnings about incompatible hardware appeared and I put the new cluster into EVC mode for Westmere. All the VMs were successfully migrated and work fine. All the hosts on the new cluster are exactly the same hardware.
I'd like to either remove EVC or set it to a 'higher' level to enable the newer CPU features. If I try and change it to anything above Westmere I get the warning 'The host cannot be admitted to the cluster's current Enhanced vMotion Compatibility mode', which is expected but I'm wondering what the best move is. I think understand the purpose of EVC (it's primarily designed to enable hosts with different hardware to be in a cluster together) but unsure of a few specifics.
I think what I need to do is shutdown all VMs and then I should be able to change EVC mode (to a 'higher' mode or disable) without casunig any problems on the VMs. does that sound right? I just want to make sure changing the EVC mode won't adversely impact the VMs. Does the VM hardware version make any difference or is EVC essentially transparent to the VMs?
Cheers,
Tim
folks,
I have a case where I want fetch settings from third party tool(REST host) and based on these settings I want to enable/disable/set default values of vRO workflow inputs, I have script(action) which will fetch the settings of third party tool but I am wondering where to call this action as I need these values in Presentation and how/where I can save these settings values(Kind of Map, key -> value pairs), appreciate your help on this.
Thanks
Sanjay
Thank you. I emailed you a link to download the .zip crash report.
It seems to be the same problem as you suggested. Setting
mks.noBeep = "TRUE"
solved the problem for me.
Some more testing without the above setting:
I've also tried running vmware from the separate home directory without the pulseaudio configuration (i.e. without ~/.config/pulse or ~/.pulse directories) like this:
HOME=/home/vmware vmware
which helped too (until the pulse configuration was somehow created there too).
Sometimes I got this error message instead of signal 11:
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
Unexpected signal: 6.
This was the case of booting directly into the firmware (VM BIOS setup) and pressing Backspace like you suggested in the other topic.
The console error message was more specific:
vmware-vmx: pcm_params.c:170: snd1_pcm_hw_param_get_min: Assertion `!snd_interval_empty(i)' failed.
Unexpected signal: 6.
BTW: I'm running VMware on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit, pulseaudio is installed but disabled.
Can you describe your host network configuration, e.g. do you have local vswitches on each host or do you use a vDS?
