Hello everyone!
I am deploying VSphere Replication to 2 VCenter servers with 1 host each in a lab environment. I have successfully deployed and registered VRM Appliances to both VCenter servers. I have also installed the SRM agent on the same VCenters servers as well. Both plugins are showing up in both VCenter servers. When I attempt to connect to the target site from either VCenter, I get the following error below after I click "OK." What log file should I be looking at to determine my issue?
Hello-
When consuming a REST api with the vRO plugin, is the response only dealt with as a string. I am consuming a REST api that returns a binary file that I want to place on the target VM eventually, but I don't see the file on the vRO appliance. Is vRO actually downloading the binary or just spitting back the response as a string?
Hi guys,
I'm trying to execute the workflow that list all tags (vapi/examples/vsphere folder), but I have a lot of questions...
How should I configure de vAPI? What is the vAPI endpoint? I run the add vAPI endpoint workflow with the url https://[vcenterServer]/rest but when I try to run the List all tags workflow I receive the error: 'ReferenceError: "com_vmware_cis_tagging_tag" is not defined'.
Is there another configuration that I should do? Is the vAPI url https://[vcenterServer]/rest? Do you have some example/tutorial about using the vAPI in orchestrator?
Thank you..
Hi All,
I recently extended a .vmdk with vmkfstools -x -d eagerzero.... as it was an eager zero disk I was extending, all is good with the vm etc but when I return to vsphere it shows the old disk size not the new extended size. How do I get it to reconcile with the real vm disk size?
Thanks
Hi ...
Please I need some help in this case. (vSphere 6.0 - VCSA).
I was moving (storage vmotion) a VM and when the vmotion was in 99% (aprox) other admin made a "service restart" in ESXi host because the "VMFS deprecated ..." message in the vCenter screen.
After that the VM was in unspecific state, we could not power on, power off, unregister ... etc.
I worked and copy the VMDKs file and I could recover the VM with other definition, but in this proces we delete the directory and other files of the original VM.
Now I have in my inventory the VM with an alert and I can't delete it or unregister.
How May I delete this register ?
Do I need to edit the vCenter DB ? if this is the way ... How do I do this ?
Thanks for this help ...

Hi All,
Have 3 no of IBM x3850 X5 Server with Emulex oneconect 10gb (be3). All are running with ESXi 5.1 version.
In first two Hosts, I can see the Emulex oneconect 10 GB ports under network adapter section but for third and last, I am unable to any Emulex 10 GB ports in vsphere network adapter. However, I can see it under PCI Hardware sensors.
Any guess, why Emulex is not visible for third host under network adapter.
Thanks in Advance.
I am using Workstation 12 Pro to develop WinPE 10 code for OS deployment/provisioning. I have built multiple iterations over the past 2 years w/o any issues.
Some new hardware platforms must be built as VMware images using virtual SCSI disks, instead of IDE, as was always used previously.
The VM images with SCSI disks works fine, on both XP Pro and POSReady 2009; however, when I boot to WinPE the PowerShell Storage Cmdlets do not see the virtual SCSI disk, partitions, volumes, etc. I was originally using WinPE 5.x with PowerShell 4. I recently updated to WinPE 10 and PowerShell 5, but still no joy. On both WinPE 5.x and WinPE 10, the only Storage Cmdlet that works is Get-PhysicalDisk.
In WinPE, dos commands and diskpart work fine with SCSI disks. In PowerShell, the "Get-WmiObject Win32_DiskDrive" and "Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk" commands also work, but not the Storage Cmdlets Get-Disk, Get-Partition, Get-Volume, which all return a null output report.
Any ideas or debug suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

I have Windows 10 10162 build install in VMWare Workstation and for some reason the display adapter doesn't seem to be working.
The display adapter thats detected in device manager is just Microsoft Standard VGA adapter. My screen resolution only goes to 1024x768. I cannot change it nor can I stretch the VMWare window.
I've seen several threads on this issue and the accepted fix seems to be disabling 3D acceleration under VMWare options. However I tried this and it doesn't work for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I get errors when trying to deploy a ovf template using powercli. I don't want to drag the file across the network every time I need to deploy a vm so I copied the ova file to a datastore.
Copy-DatastoreItem-Itemz:\Win2012_R2_Std.ova-DestinationvDATA:\temp\-Force
This works from my desktop using my local storage or a UNC path
Import-vApp-Source"C:\ovas\Win2012_R2_Std.ova"
Import-vApp-Source"\\myfileserver\ovas\Win2012_R2_Std.ova"
This does not work when trying to reach the datastore
Get-Datastoredatastore2|New-DatastoreDrive-NamevDATA:\temp
Import-vApp-Source"vDATA:/temp/Win2012_R2_Std.ova"
Nor does this
Import-vApp-Source"vDATA:\temp\Win2012_R2_Std.ova"
dear my friends
my esxi 5.1 server is shut down suddenly becuase of power problem
after it start again two of my virtual machine seems invalid
i remove it from inventory and and then after i open data store to add vmx file to inventory
this option is grayout and i cqn not add it
i try to create my vmx file from log file but the new vnx file is empty and just 2 default line
i need my snap snapshots
what shoudl i do now ?!?
thank alot
I'm trying to tighten a little bit security of my solo ESXi 6.0 server by disabling unnecessary services/rules, so I want to disable firewall rule for vsanvp. But when I try it (using native client), all I get is the message:
Call "HostFirewallSystem.DisableRuleset" for object "firewallSystem" on ESXi "<my_esxi_IP>" failed.
And Security Profile still shows I have allowed incomming/outgoing connections for vsanvp.
vSphere 6.0 docu says:
VSAN VASA Vendor Provider. Used by the Storage Management Service (SMS) that is part of vCenter to access information about Virtual SAN storage profiles, capabilities, and compliance. If disabled, Virtual SAN Storage Profile Based Management (SPBM) does not work.
But I'm using neither vCenter nor virtual san-storage. So why I still can not disable firewall rule for vsanvp?
This is the second time it happens to me, Last time I lost hours of work because I couldn't recover the data, Does VMWare has some serious bug and you keep quiet about it? if so please tell me so I won't loose more work... There are great open source alternatives.
This VM has important data please help me recover it.
Thanks.

Hi, I am a student working on a server for an instructor, and I am trying to follow the hardening excel sheet that vmware has on their website, but I have gotten this for a few of the entries so far. The server has esxi v 6 installed on it as firmware, and the server itself was made by dell. I am logging into it by directly connecting to it with a laptop and ethernet cable, and am using vsphere client to connect to it. A few of the ones I have been getting this error on are: the host image profile acceptance level (it is set to partner and won't let me change it to anything else); in the firewall I can't disable ssh server; and a few others that I'll have to go back through the list to see. Is it just because I'm using vsphere client and not the web client the excel sheet talks about? If not, why would they have suggestions in the excel sheet to harden the server if you can't actually do it? I'm logged in as root, so I have enough clearance to do any changes, so that isn't the reason.
I am new to VMware and vROPs.
I have been tasked with generating a vROPs report that tells my management all of the Objects in vROPs. Not only does the report need to tell all Objects in vROPs, it needs to report the machine name/FQDN of the Object and the IP address of the Object. And, if there is an IP assigned to the Object, the report needs to report the IP.
Is there a standard vROP report for this? Or, can I create a custom report for this information?
Thank you,
T.J.
So I thought I would take a look at OpenStack in my lab prior to any kind of POC at work. I have however failed at the first hurdle miserably . After having deployed the OVM I decided to go through the configuration wizard however at the "Configure management networking" it fails during the network verification with "Failed to validate the IP address" and I have no clue why because I don't actually know specifics of what its trying to verify exactly?
Is it expecting to find a DHCP server on that network range? I have tried all sorts of ranges and combinations without success
If its expecting a DHCP server on a segregated network I suppose I can spin up a PFsense box or similar, or have a I completely miss-understood how it works and does it do all the networking for me?
Hello everyone. I am an EXSi/VMware noob so I'm a bit out of my comfort zone. I have a Supermicro motherboard with an onboard SAS controller that is supported in EXSi 6. I have eight 4TB drives attached to the SAS HBA and 2 SSD drives connected to the onboard SATA. I was able to add all the drives as datastores and that works fine. But I need to dedicate several complete drives to one VM and I have not been able to get this to work as the RDM option is greyed out no matter which VM I try. I tried removing one of the Hard Drives from the datastores (it's gone) but I still don't see it as an option (and now I can't see it when I try to add it back as a datastore but that's another issue).
I've been researching this issue and I've tried disabling the RDMFILTER option in Advanced Settings and no go. I tried flowing the process in KB article 1017530 (Raw Device Mapping for Local Storage I get the following error:
vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____TS32GSSD25S2DM___________________________201009163653400631A4:9 /vmfs/volumes/APPSSD/RDM/rdm9.vmdk
Failed to create virtual disk: The system cannot find the file specified (25).
I thought maybe I needed to create the RDM folder in the store so I did it and then I got a new message:
Failed to create virtual disk: Operation not permitted (65545).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Hello for all.
My VSphere environment stopped to move servers when they are online, is only working when they are turned off.
I have cluster enabled, HA enabled with DRS, all storages is showing in all VMWare servers, but the disks is showing
Multipathing Status = Partial/No redundancy
The disk size at storage is 80GB and the disk from virtual servers is Thin with 80GB also.
The error when I try to migrate one turned machine is:
Migration to host <<unknown>> failed with error Connection closed by remote host, possibly due to timeout (195887167).
Timed out waiting for migration data.
If this same machine is turned off, the migration occurs without problem.
How can I resolve this?
Thank you for all.

Hello,
My Vcenter server is stuck on a 5.5 host and I cannot get it to vMotion while powered on. I only have ESXi 6 hosts left at this datacenter. If I power the VMs off, they move. Obviously I cannot power off Vcenter.
The error I get is
A general system error occurred: Failed to copy one or more of the virtual machine's disks. See the virtual machine's log for more details.
Failed to set up disks on the destination host.
vMotion migration [168430346:1445297623259034] failed to read stream keepalive: Connection closed by remote host, possibly due to timeout
Failed waiting for data. Error 195887167. Connection closed by remote host, possibly due to timeout.
Any ideas?
I created my PEM file following the many documents I've found and I don't get any errors when applying it however the cert never changes from the self signed cert.
