If I create a new virtual machine it doesn't show up automatically in either the "Library" or "My Computer". I have to "Scan for Virtual Machines" to make it visible. Even after adding the virtual machine I see that the "Status" for the virtual machine is "Unable to open".
This is really strange. Anyone have an idea why this is happening or how to fix this?
Can you please help which is the best mode with the least memory or resource usage on the host?
I have 2 HCL listed - VMWare servers that I recently upgraded to ESXi 7.0 from 6.5.
I'm attempting to get DDPIO working with some dedicated legacy SSL Accelerator cards (I know, I know, it's legacy support)
With ESXi 6.5, I was able to get around this problem by using the following syntax inside of the .vmx files and importing them.
vhv.enable = TRUE
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = FALSE
However 7.0 doesn't seem to be respecting these flags and I continue to get the following:
PCI passthrough devices cannot be added when Nested Hardware-Assisted Virtualization is enabled.
I'm not seeing anything in the release notes that would indicate that these customization would stop working..
I'm not expecting them to support the Guest or any of the passthrough configuration/functionality, but c'mon, I can't even power on the VM.
Before I jump in and open a ticket, does anyone have any direction on doing this on ESXi 7.0?
Thanks,
Garrett

EDIT: 2020-06-09:
Added the
vhv.allowPassthru = TRUE
flag, and that didn't help either.
When installing cloud connector i get "failed to give the LocalSystem account permission to use the private key" anyone run into this before?
To get out of this situation do the following:
Machine is a Ryzen 7 2nd Gen with 16GB RAM, 8 cores x 2 threads (16 cores detected)
500GB SSD, NVidia GeForce 750ti 2GB
Installation of vmware workstation 15.5.6 build-16341506 is on debian 10
inside the vm is windows 10 licensed
the sound has been tried in the vmx file as hdaudio, sb16 and configured to uise either alsa or /dev/dsp
the linux station is working with oss, alsa, pulse and jackd (not all at the same time evidently ...)
the linux station is working 5.1 with no issue, plays dvd, bluray and all manners of 5.1 encoding in kodi, xine, vlc ...
what does not work correctly however I try is 5.1 in guest windows 10, the best I can do is 5.1 resulting in sounds from windows being played on the wrong speakers (front right on surround left, center in rear right rear right on front left etc ...)
I have so far been unsuccessful in correcting that behaviour
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Hi gurus
I had a hung task Migrate virtual machine, that got stuck on 13%, that was the only machine to get stuck all other VM migrated correctly, I ssh to the esxi and found the vmx process not to hard as it was the only VM, Kill the parent process, but vcenter after logoff and back on and refresh and kick , it still shows the vm stuck as 13% and cant do anything to it
am I missing something after the kill so vcenter get the info and let me do new stuff on the VM
Thanks all
Hi Team,
I'm facing and error during start VM in ESXi 5.5.
Attached a screenshot.
Hi ALl,
Having some really frustrating issues with VMconveter 6.2, when trying to V2V a 2008 server of about 5TB from an old scale environment to ESXi 6.7. The initial attempt failed at 96% with the error "unable to create VSS snapshot of the source volume(s) error code 259.
All subsequent tried have finished around the 30 % mark with the error "An error occurred during the conversion: 'BlockLevelVolumeCloneMgr::CloneVolume: detected a write error during the cloning of volume \windowsbitmapdrivervolumeID
Some of the logs are below happy to provide more, the destination is a VVOL datastore and the link is acceptable

I upgraded from 15.5.1-15018445 to 15.5.6-16341506 on Windows 7 and since then I'm seeing weird graphics corruption in my Ubuntu 16 guest VM. I have a snapshot that I resume and if I leave it on in the background eventually I will switch back to it and graphics nonsense will show. The bad graphics data seem to be from the guest. In the screenshot below you can see distorted text but I've also seen icons. If I switch windows in the guest and then go back to the problem window then the graphics will go back to normal. The snapshot is from July 26.

The following code does not find key in hashtable:
# Wait while there are less than $maxTask running
while($taskTab.Count -ge $maxTasks){

Any suggestions?
We have four esx v4.0 hosts and a vcenter server on 2003. Been running 7 years so it's time to retire.
The vm's are already on a new Equalogic iSCSI array.
I know I can't vmotion between the different hardware platforms, and vcenter server 6.0 won't manage ESXi 4.0 anyway.
If I bring up four new 6.0 hosts and a new vcenter server, I'm thinking I can shut down a vm, remove it from the 4.0 inventory, and add it to the 6.0 cluster. Then boot it up.
Would this work?
Darron...

In my VMware guests, mouse wheel scrolling does not work correctly.
How it should work: 1 "click" of the mouse scroll wheel should produce 1 line of scrolling.
How it works: It takes fully 8 "clicks" of the mouse scroll wheel to produce 1 "click" worth of scrolling.
The result is that scrolling is extremely slow. I can sit there turning and turning the scroll wheel and getting nowhere. It's really quite frustrating.
This problem affects only the virtual machine guests. The mouse wheel works correctly in the Mac host (namely every "click" of the mouse wheel registers).
What I have already tried:
1. On the Windows 10 guest, I tried Settings -> Devices -> Mouse, every possible combination of settings. Setting it to scroll multiple lines at a time does NOT help. It makes scrolling jumpy and still takes fully 8 "clicks" of the scroll wheel to register 1 "click" worth of scrolling. NOT HELPFUL.
2. Virtual Machine Settings -> Keyboard and Mouse. I do not see any helpful settings there. All the settings pertain to shortcut keys, not to mouse wheel.
What else should I try?

Hallo,
ich bin irgendwie zu blöd dafür...ok, ich bin kein Netzwerk-Profi, schaffe es aber, meine VMs zu konfigurieren, sodass sie fast alles machen, was ich will...
Folgende Situation:
Ich habe eine VM, die soll ins Internet, das läuft über DHCP vom Host und bridged - sagen wir die erhält die dynamische IP 192.168.2.12.
2 weitere VMs kriegt jeweils eine statische IP, damit sie untereinander kommunizieren können - eine erhält 192.168.1.10, die andere 192.168.1.11 - die sind auch bridged, aber ohne Gateway
Ich möchte diese Netz-Trennung, denn diese beiden VMs sollen nicht ins Internet.
Nun möchte ich, dass die 192.168.1.10 auch mit der 192.168.2.12 'sprechen' kann, also z.B. dass ich Dateien hin und her kopieren kann. Das soll irgendwie gehen, wenn man eine 2. Netzwerkkarte hinzufügt und neu konfiguriert und brückt...und da hört es bei mir auf, da verstehe ich nur Bahnhof...
Wie muss ich die Netzwerkkarten der einen VM konfigurieren, sodass sie mit beiden Netzen 'sprechen' kann, aber nicht ins Internet kann?
Jeder Tipp ist willkommen!
Grüße

In vsan cluster in that process of stop and start, I think that the version after 6.7U3 will need the following command before and after
stopping and restarting vsan cluster.
python /usr/lib/vmware/vsan/bin/reboot_helper.py prepare
python /usr/lib/vmware/vsan/bin/reboot_helper.py recover
Are these scripts just doing a health check? Or is it a command that also internally restarts the VSAN?
