vcpu-0:NOT_IMPLEMENTED vmcore/vmm/hv/vt/hv-vt.c:3281 on 15 Pro

We use VMware Workstation in nested virtualization mode:

hypervisor.cpuid.v0="FALSE"

mce.enable="TRUE"

vhu.enable="TRUE"

With VMWare Workstation Pro 12 and 14 we were able to run any kind of Hypervisor. For instance simple visor:

 

GitHub - ionescu007/SimpleVisor: SimpleVisor is a simple, portable, Intel VT-x hypervisor with two specific goals: using…

 

Unfortunately, SimpleVisor no longer works on version 15. As soon as the driver is launched VMware crashes:

To us it looks like VMWare simple forgot to implement some parts for nested virtualization. We already provided all logs to VMware but so far we did not get any reply.

Workstation Pro can not create new VM

Hi!

 

I recently bought a new laptop and installed Workstation Pro 14. Old virtual machines which I created on my previous laptop with Workstation pro 12 are running, but I cant create new ones. The program is throwing error messages as seen below. The error message is thrown instantly after clicking on the create new virtual machine button, so theres a problem in the creation first way.

 

error_message.png

Since I couldnt solve the problem I installed the demo version for Workstation pro 15. Same problem.

 

I attached the mentioned logfile. Does anybody know what causes this problem?

 

The old laptop was running on Windows 7 with Workstation 12. The new one is running on Windows 10 pro with Workstation 14.

 

Some Hardware infos for understanding:

Fujitsu Lifebook U758

processor:     Intel Core i7-8650U vPro

memory module:     2x 16 GB DDR4, 2.400 MHz, SO DIMM

display:  3.640x2.160 pixel (4k)

 

Is the problem a common one caused by the new hardware? If workstation pro 15 definitely solves my problems I will buy and install this version.

 

There is a problem with the upper toolbar as well. Beside the menu button no tool button like the shortcut for creating a new vm is shown. The menuoptions and tools have to be openend and selected via the menu. The toolbar loooks like shown below:

 

I suppose there is some problem with the screen resolution, so it can not present the tool bar.

Thanks in advance!

Поставил на мак виртуалку Windows 7, и не копирует файлы ни с одной ос на другую, ни с той на парвую. В общем, не переносит файлф и все тут. Галочки стоят в настройках "разрешить Drag & Drop" и "разрешить Copy Paste". В чем может быть дело?

NSX Upgrade Issue

Hi,

 

I've upgraded NSX Manager from 6.3.3 build 6276725 to 6.3.3 build 7087283. After the upgrade of NSX Manager  controllers disappeared from NSX Controller nodes in Networking & Security. When I login to NSX Manager via SSH and issue show controller list all command all three controllers are listed but the state is UNKNOWN. I tried to delete one controller using the API with DELETE /api/2.0/vdn/controller/{controllerId}  method and after that it's in the REMOVING state and I had to manually delete it from vCenter even though I tried to force delete it via API. Nevertheless the NSX deployment seams to be functioning with 2 controllers in UNKNOWN and one in REMOVING states. Any ideas?

Thanks

HI

We use perl scripts to log into vCenter 5.5 with Single Sign On. However if I use the same script to point to our 6.0 or 6.5 vCenter it fails. I updated to the latest SDK and still the same. Powercli and pyvmoni just work

Example 

    vminfo.pl --server myserver.internal --passthroughauth --passthroughauthpackage Kerberos

 

Our 5.5 vCenter was Windows and the newer ones are vcsa, in case that makes a difference.

 

Thanks


NIOC Shares

Hi,

 

I have a dvSwitch connected to 2 uplinks (10Gbps each) and currently used for vSAN ONLY but want to add vMotion traffic with no/minimal impact.

What would be the best way to see how much traffic is being used by vSAN prior to the change?

 

Within the Resource Allocation table, if I set the vSAN traffic Share value to 100 and vMotion with a value of 50, would this mean that in contention times vSAN is "only" allowed up to 66% of the total bandwidth of the physical adapters? (100/(100+50))

 

The other system default traffic types/shares are not applicable/part of the share as long as they are not enabled(or active)?

 

Thanks

I installed Mac OS X Mojave Beta 5, and now when I start a VMWare Fusion guest (Windows 10) my keyboard and mouse are not working in the guest. When I was using OS X Mojave Beta 4, they worked fine. Any thoughts on a solution to get my keyboard and mouse to start working again?

Single VM - Multiple Target Site Possible? Using Site Recovery Manager 8.1

$

Hi everyone,

 

Is it possible to configure multiple replications on a single virtual machine?

 

I want to configure a replication on a virtual machine from source site (Primary Site) to target site (DR Site) and would also like to configure the replication on the same virtual machine within the primary site on a separate datastore.

 

I have created a replication between the source and target site but when I tried configuring the replication within the same vcenter, it tells me that it's already configured and doesn't let me proceed.

 

Is there any way I can achieve the above task?

 

Thank you.

vSphere Host Unable to Boot After Removing Harddisk

I have a vSphere host with 4 harddisk - harddisk 1, harddisk 2, harddisk 3, harddisk 4. I have set up a data store on each harddisk, so there are 4 data stores - Datastore1, Datastore2, Datastore3 and Datastore4.

 

Months ago, the harddisk 3 failed but the host was still able to boot. Last week, I tried to remove harddisk 3 from host but accidentally, I removed hardddisk 4. Then the host is unable to boot, when I boot the host, the host just hangs at cursor without showing the VMWare console.

 

Anyone know what the problem is?

I am trying to run the Microsoft Edge browser in cmd.exe. However, I have the following problem.

Can anyone help me, how to correctly run this command?

New to VMWare on Mac. 'Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe.' ... 'Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.' ERROR

$

Downloaded VMWare this afternoon after reading/hearing about how good it is after experiencing some frustration with VirtualBox.

 

Paid 70 pounds, downloaded and installed ... upon first attempt of setting-up a Windows VM, I get the 'Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe' error, try again with Linux Mint and get the same.

 

Reading these forums, it says lots about granting access through security settings which I have done.  These weren't set so I made the changes and re-started but the error was still there.

 

I then attempted to uninstall the program to reinstall it ... this was also problematic as the program is not easy to fully remove - even with the removal instructions that uses the finder to remove hidden library files.  Upon re-installation, things are still there from the first installation which suggests not everything had been removed.  Two re-installations later and the error still comes up.

 

Could anybody please tell me how I even get support from VMWare?  The 'get support' page asks me to select the program I require, but it is not listed in my account profile, despite me purchasing it from the account.

 

Help needed.  Just paid 70 pounds for something that doesn't work.

ESXi on HP ProDesk 400 G5 MT

Hello to Everybody!

 

It's a relatively new Core i5-8500 box. Is there any way to make it work with ESXi?

 

Tried to install ESXi v5.5 (HP edition) - during the very first boot it loaded all the drivers

started with devices initialization and failed to find the network driver only. While looking for the nic driver

I rebooted the box and all subsequent boots failed with the latest seen "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel..."

message just after loading all the drivers.

 

ESXi v6.5(regular) - All runs failed with latest seen "Relocating modules and starting up the kernel..." message.

 

Tried SHIFT-O -> "ignoreHeadless=TRUE" option on boot.

And there's no option in HP BIOS to disable headless mode.

 

Updated the BIOS to the latest version. No visible improvements.

Tried to boot with external video adapter.

UEFI is disabled in BIOS. Only legacy mode is used. Also tried to disable VT-X.

The same "Relocating modules ..." issue.

 

Any thoughts or maybe VMware already issued a patch for this architecture and I failed to notice it?

 

P.S.

I'd like to emphasize that the problem I have is not related (from my point of view) to network adapter

as I know how to cope with it but with the step that ESXi does after it depicts the message

"Relocating modules and starting up the kernel..."

All ESXi variants I tried just freeze at this point (at least it looks like it).

I already tried Proxmox and it works OK on this hardware.

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

Used space is much bigger than real used space

Hi All,

I have a VM, which is used about 400GB but in the datastore, it shows the VM used 1.98 TB of datastore. Now I want to run consolidation for this VM but there is not enough space to run. I have tried to delete all snapshots but there is no luck because, there's nothing in Snapshot Manager, just only "You are here". Via console of ESXi, it is shown as below:

How can I solve this issue?

Client Workstation Printers not redirected for Published App Access

Horizon 7.1.0-5170113, running on Server 2012R2, AD Forest Level 2012.

I have 6 RDSH servers configured in a farm.

I am using Group Policy, NOT UEM.  I have UEM installed (trial), but not using.

**NOTE:  My policies include Mapped Drives under User Preferences that are working perfectly***

 

Reference:  Application Pools - A couple of LOB Apps and Notepad (Notepad is for testing Printer Availability)

 

Client Workstations access via HTML Browser.  Clients included Windows 7 thru 10, browsers tested include Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Edge.

 

Problem:  When a client connects, their printers are not redirected to the Published App Session.

 

I have the COMPUTER GPO configured as follows:

Admin Templates:

     Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon                   ENABLED

     Do not allow client printer redirection                                                  DISABLED

     Do not set default client printer to be default printer in session          DISABLED

     Redirect only the default printer                                                            DISABLED

     User Remote Desktop Easy Print driver first                                        ENABLED

 

I have the USER GPO configured as follows:

Admin Templates:

     Redirect only the default printer                                                            DISABLED

     User Remote Desktop Easy Print driver first                                        ENABLED

Preferences:

     Mapped Drives (working)

     SHARED Printers (working)

 

Any suggestions appreciated....

trust a vcenter 6.0 certificate

Hi

I'm doing some tests around vcenter certificates.

On my VCSA 6.0 I see that there's a certificate issued by CA.

Downloading the trusted root CA certificate and importing it on the store of my win PC I see that the vcenter certificate is trusted by IE and Chrome.

So my PC is trusting the CA that issued the vcenter certificate and obiouvsly it trusts the certificate.

On another PC I wish to trust the vcenter certificate, not the CA, so I'm importing the certificate downloded form vcenter into the windowsTRUSTED PEOPLE store using certmgr.

Now I.E. is  trusting the certificate but not Chrome.

What I'm what am I doing wrong?
