Error accessing vsphere from web client
Good morning friends,
I have a problem that I do not know what to do. This week, I am no longer able to access vsphere through the web client, it returns an error. By vsphere client, access normally. Only the web that will not. I checked the time in all VMS, only one with the wrong time. Is that the reason? Below is the error screen. Thanks, if anyone can help me.
A server error occurred.
No error message is available. :-(
Check the vSphere Web Client server logs for details.

Unable to upgrade VMtools after ESXi 6.5 upgrade
I have upgraded my lab environment to 6.5 and am now unable to mount the vmtools installer through the web client. I was successful mounting the iso directly to the VM and upgrading interactively but this will not be scalable to several hundred VMs. The error I received was: "The required VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is inaccessible. vix error code = 21001"
Is there a setting that needs to be changed post 6.5 upgrade to fix this?

Blast protocol log viewer equivalent to Teradici PCoIP log viewer
I was wondering if anyone knows of a log viewer available for the blast protocol that is similar to the one that Teradici provides. Many of my clients would like to move towards Blast but it removes my ability to review a user's session details.
Thanks.

Update host when it contains the vCenter server appliance
I have a set-up where I have three hosts, one of the hosts has vCenter server deployed to it to manage and update all the hosts.
Given that its not possible to move the vCenter server without vrealize how can I apply patch updates to the that host given that it cant go into maintenance mode while the vCenter server is started ?

6.7 - where is the Analysis page on each VM?
Whoever moved this or removed this doesn't understand *at all* how your customers use vROPS and should be fired. Let me explain something to you, in fact I'll show you a picture.
Do you see the beauty of this Analysis page? I can see CPU and Memory at the same time, I can see the usable capacity and the peak demand for both in GHz / GB, I can see recommended CPU and memory. I can screenshot this all at once. It was one click to get there from the VM that I was already looking at.
Workflow: 1. App manager calls to either complain about performance of a VM -or- app manager says the application vendor told them we need to increase CPU. 2. I open vROPS and go to that VM. 3. I click Analysis. 4. I look at how much usable capacity vs. peak demand over the past 30 days. I look at the graph. I look at the recommendation. I make my own determination based on all the data that's there. 5. I screenshot CPU and memory and show the app manager how this VM is doing and my recommendation.
Some genius at VMware / vROPS please explain how to get the same info now in 6.7? Also, please feel free to try to explain why we should renew our vRealize licensing since you're going out of your way to make it useless to me. Seriously, I challenge you to show me where this is exactly now in 6.7-- I don't think you can... but if you can show many anything as elegant as this, then I'll eat my words and apologize.

ESXi MAC Address Change Policy causes vCenter to Stop Functioning
Hello All,
In my network I am required to implement certain security controls, most of which cause no issues, but I am running into one that breaks vCenter.
Under the networking options under each port group there is an option to reject or accept 'MAC Address Changes' which we are required to set to reject.
This does not affect any of the VMs under that network except for vCenter running on that vswitch. Once the setting is set to reject we lose all connection to the vCenter server.
Is this a common issue and what is the resolution to set the setting to reject but still have vCenter work.
Some background on the network:
The ESXi host is running v 6.0.0 Patch 3
The vCenter vm running on this host is 6.5
This vCenter on this host does not manage this host, it controls a separate development cluster where we are testing ESXi 6.7.
Thanks.

Unable to add Network Adapter to Systems
Brand new ESXI 6.7 build finally got everything built up and configured for the new rack but when I went to create a new VM everything goes perfectly until I get to the hardware part of the wizard where it shows the Network Adapter 1 field as blank. If I try to delete the network adapter and readd it I get the error listed below. This is happening on both ESXI servers I built.
Troubleshooting.
Tried 3 different browsers
Deleted the VM and recreated it.
Restarted the server.
Created new test-switch, assigned it a test portgroup. Still no dice.
Other Notes:
I know that the NIC cards are working fine because I have ISCSI setup and working fine on the first port and second port is working with trunked management and general network communication.

Script error when trying to move vms to their dedicated folders
Hello,
I am having issues when using a script to move VMs from the Discovered VMs folder to their dedicated VM folders as they were on the old vCenter. I already recreated the folder structure on the new vCenter.
The csv from where i am importing is on the form:
Name Path
vm1 DatacenterFolderName\folder1\folder2\vm1
vm2 DatacenterFolderName\folder2\folder3\vm2 etc
The script is the following:
Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable | Import-Module
If ($globale:DefaultVIServers ) {
Disconnect-VIServer -Server $global:DefaultVIServers -Force
}
$destVI = Read-Host "Please enter name or IP address of the destination Server"
$datacenter = Read-Host "DataCenter name in VC"
$creds = get-credential
connect-viserver -server $destVI -Credential $creds
# move the vm's to correct location
$VMfolder = @()
$VMfolder = import-csv "c:\csv-files\test\04-$($datacenter)-vms-with-FolderPath.csv" | Sort-Object -Property Path
foreach($guest in $VMfolder){
$key = @()
$key = Split-Path $guest.Path | split-path -leaf
if ($key -eq $datacenter) {
Write-Host "Root folder $guest.path"
#
Move-VM (Get-VM $guest.Name) -Destination "vm"
}
else
{
Move-VM (Get-VM $guest.Name) -Destination (Get-folder $key)
}
}
Disconnect-VIServer "*" -Confirm:$False
and the error i am getting is the following:
Move-VM : 10/19/2018 7:50:24 AM Move-VM Server task failed: The request refers to an unexpected or unknown type.
At C:\Users\username\Desktop\CheapDisasterRecovery\import-05-move-vms-folders.ps1:27 char:3

Can someone let me know what i am doing wrong or if there is something that needs to be modified to make it work?
The original vCenter is 5.5 and the destination vCenter is 6.5.
Thank you.

Cannot install/update plugin (GenericJDBCException) via ControlCenter
So I had an issue where all of a sudden, the plugin I was developing could no longer be installed/updated. The below error appearing in the vRO Control Center
I even tried restarting the vRO application server, which initially seemed to make things worse:
The validate app page of the control center was showing many red warnings
- specifically to do with the database - no connection and something with the Postegre database?
- and being unlicenced
But this led me to the cause of the problems:
The vRO Appliance had ran out of disk space for the /storage/db/ directory (as seen when viewing diskspace {# df -h}}) -> was using /dev/sdb2 with size 2GB!
incidentally, this post proved useful to figure out what file was being huge vco auth provider registration fails with db error -> for me drilling down with {# du -sh /storage/db/*}
and so the solution was to make more space obviously. The VM vRO runs on actually has a large enough disk, but for some reason, it just wasn't using all the available space. So by following this helpful guide: VMware Knowledge Base; but instead to create a new partition on the available space on the existing drive, and copy across the database as described in that guide.
So instead of 2GB, my /storage/db/ directory is now 15GB
I hope the above helps anyone who encounters a similar issue

Do I have to pay to upgrade from Workstation Pro 14 to 15?
I've purchase Workstation Pro 14 a while back and recently when I open it, it encourages me to upgrade to version 15. I found the download page while signed in under my account and there is no mention of a trial period or anything, so I'm not sure. If I download and install version 15, will I be replacing a paid-for product (ver. 14) with a trial version product (ver. 15) and need to pay once again to make it permanent? Or will ver. 15 automatically be an owned non-trial product since I've already purchased ver. 14?

Checking if a vm already has a snapshot
Let me apologize in advance if this has been answered but a quick search didn't help me. Also understand I am very new to this with almost zero training so this is probably a newbie question but the community seems very helpful and friendly so I'm reaching out for guidance and advise.
We will be implementing snapshot as a service to our customers. We want to allow only one snapshot per VM. Therefore I need to check if a snapshot exists before allowing the customer to take a new one. I have a simple workflow now to take a single virtual machine and snap it. I am using the built in remove old snapshots to check if a snapshot exists. We use service now as our portal. The hostname comes across as a string and I convert it to a vc:virtualmachine. What I need some help on is in the remove old snapshots I'm reusing the getPropertiesForAllSnapshotTask action element. I want to pass the single vm name and have it get the properties of the snapshot if it exists. As it is an auto generated script I am not able to modify the scripting of the action. Does anyone have a better way or idea on how I can pass a single vm object and know if it has a snap or not? I hope I've explained this well enough to get a discussion started and thanks.

vSphere Essentials mixed with Eval version?
Hi,
One customer asked for an infrastructure audit. They are running standard vSphere Essentials Plus kit on Dell VRTX system (SME version of a blade chassis, up to 4 physical hosts, DAS shared storage).
There are many misconfigurations in the environment (no shared storage configured resulting in no vMotion or HA). As a result, the whole infrastructure needs to be architecture.
There is no problem with that, did that many times in different environments. The question is, how to move the data from local storage (actually configured) to newly created shared storage. It is possible to do a full backup & restore using Veeam, but I was thinking about something less invasive.
Storage vMotion should do the trick, but Storage vMotion is not available in Essential Plus kit.
Is it possible to temporarily switch ESXi hypervisor in Evaluation mode (and still be managed by vCenter Server for Essentials)? The Storage vMotion is a licensed feature of the ESXi thus Eval version will cover that, but I am not sure if it will be supported by vCenter Server for Essentials (but should be OK, there is no such license feature regarding storage vMotion on the VC server itself).
I am a bit lazy to simulate such environment in my LAB, and it would be great if somebody tried that before (if not, I will do that in my LAB and post results).
Thanks!
