DISCOVER THE HOST THROUGH GUEST O.S.

February 21, 2019, 12:00 pm
$

Hello Sirs,

 

I have an issue that I thought was simple at first, but it's proving to be much more complicated.

I have a Windows Server 2008 VM active and accessible through MSTSC. However, I don't know where this VM is hosted.

Then Hyper-Vi, for example, stores a registry key with the name of the Host, but there is no such thing in VMWare. I haven't found any host reference on the Guest O.S.

 

Objective: to discover the name/IP of the Host through VM itself.

 

Details:

 

1 - It's hosted on an isolated Host from vCenter, so there is no way to access it through vCenter Server;

2 - We don't have information about the name or IP of this Host.

3 - The ESXi version of this host is 5.5, so there's no way to use the vmtoolsd.exe tool with the --cmd "info-get" command because it works only with older versions of ESX / ESXi.

4 - The solution seems to be to use some tool inside the vmware tools package to find a "find" on that host, but I couldn't find it in vmware documentation and other related blogs.

 

All help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!

Error: Duplicate name when trying to create OVA/OVF

I cannot figure out the correct syntax to export a VM to an OVA/OVF into a datastore in ESXi. It is a stand alone host and NOT in vCenter.

 

C:\Users\>"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool\ovftool.exe"  -ds=datastore1 vi://root:pass@192.168.1.1:443/MyVmFolder vi://root:pass@192.168.1.1:443

Opening VI target: vi://root@192.168.1.1:443/

Error: Duplicate name 'MyVmFolder' on target. Use --overwrite option to delete it.

Completed with errors

 

 

 

I have also tried the syntax for destination to include the host and Resource, but this is what I see:

 

C:\Users\>"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool\ovftool.exe"  -ds=storage vi://root:pass@192.168.1.1:443/MyVmFolder vi://root:pass@192.168.1.1:443/VMFolder1/ExportedVM.ova

Has anyone used a SnapShell in a View session?

We have an application that needs to scan ID cards of customers. We have been trying to get this to work with view with very little luck at all. The device is a SnapShell R2. We have loaded the drivers onto the host PC as well as the VDI machine. This is not a twain compliant device and it doesn't show up as a webcam ether. I have been in contact with support, but so far they are not having much better luck than I did.

 

I thought I would come here and ask if anyone has tried this and had any luck getting it to work.

VCenter appliance 6.7 backup hanging

About a week or so ago, my VCSA appliance manager backups started failing... I had a few issues with the VCSA over the last week.. slow, hosts disconnecting ...  its a VSAN and I had never bothered to separate my management VM traffic and my VSAN storage traffic.  Finally got that done over the last two days and also had changed DNS servers on my network and hadn't updated the resolv.conf on the VCSA, so that wasn't helping either.  Well, got all  that fixed finally today and its running sweet, so thought backups would work now...  kicked one off earlier today and it got to 37% and sat there.  Left it... 2 hours later still at 37%.  So cancelled it, and kicked off another. Gets to 37% quite quickly and then hangs again.  Plenty of room on the ftp server.  Haven't seen anything in google about this.  Any ideas what might be wrong?

SQL Server Management Studio 2012 - "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required." Error

I'm trying to create an App Volume of MS SQL Server Management Studio 2012. I'm using App Volumes 2.12. I have an Horizon 7 VDI pool made from a Windows 7 64bit parent VM. The build VM is a clone of the parent VM, using the same snapshot that was used to build the VDI pool.

 

The capture of the install works fine. I'm installing from an SQL Server 2012 ISO file that includes a valid license key. When I test the App Volume, I am assigning it to a test user and then logging in to the desktop pool using the same test user. When I run "SQL Server Management Studio" I get the following error:

 

"Invalid license data. Reinstall is required."

 

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.

No matter which install-module technique I choose, I always end up with version 11.0.0.10380590 when I use Get-PowerCLIVersion

 

I am using the commands detailed here,

PowerShell Gallery | VMware.PowerCLI 11.1.0.11289667

 

Why does this installer not honor what I tell it to and I then end up with 11.0.0.10380590?

How much Ram should use for vmware?

Hello. This is my first writing. I'm not English-speaking culture, so please understand if my English is awkward.

I read a book about anti virus. This book guide me to follow it.(use vmware) I just followed it, but I had a problem.

My laptop doesn't run. So I should buy a new laptop.

My task is running two virtual machine one is 4gb(memory), and another is 1gb. Their storage space is 40gb. They will connect each other and continue to communicate.

And I have to kernel compile ,build, and module build.

I think I will run Chrome to search information at the same time.

The introduction seemed a little long... Sorry

so I search laptop. One is Asus ux433fn(i5). This one has 8gb memory. But I can't upgrade to 16gb.(HP envy is same)

And another is Msi ps63(i5). This can upgrade 16gb.

I like ux433 a more than ps63. But I'm afraid of memory lack.

Finally, it's point. Should I buy 16gb ram to use vmware? Is 8gb ram not enough? I can't decide about this. I have no idea.

Please choose for me. Thank you!

Actually, I don't know where to post this. I hope this community is the right place.

Unable to create or start VMs in Workstation 15 Pro Windows 10

Workstation Pro 15 was working fine until I installed a new NVIDIA 2080ti.

 

After installing the new Video card I was unable to start an existing VM nor could I create a new VM.

 

Steps taken:

1. Reinstalled VMWare Workstation 15 Pro without issue

2. Check permission on the directories, even ran it as an administrator with no luck.

2. Tried to create a new VM using Easy Install. It hangs after pressing "Next >" on the "Name the Virtual Machine" step.

How to debug: Fusion 10 + Ubuntu 18.04.1 + hardware accelerated OpenGL = crashed virtual machine?

February 18, 2019, 7:16 pm
$

I am a developer. One of the programs I am developing uses OpenGL 3.2 for output.

 

I primarily develop on the Mac, but I also support Linux. So I have Ubuntu 18.04.1 installed in a virtual machine within Fusion 10.

 

I have two pipelines implemented in my code, relying on the same inputs — the same vertex arrays and the same sequence of calls. Just a different shader. Both work flawlessly on the Mac.

 

Over in Ubuntu-via-VMWare, in the first case everything works as it should. But in the second, VMWare announces that my machine has crashed and offers to restart it. Since the whole machine falls over, there's no core dump, and I'm not even entirely sure that everything I'm throwing at stdout is reaching me. Certainly the filing system sometimes starts up in a corrupt state, so writing there also isn't even necessarily a convincing option.

 

Is there any way to debug what's going on here? Any information I can get from VMWare Fusion, perhaps, that will allow me to introspect its OpenGL driver?

 

Alas, using software rendering doesn't seem to give me all the OpenGL features I need. Actually, that gives very strange behaviour — e.g. glCheckFramebufferStatus returns 0, which means "an error occurred" (other than the ordinary named ones) per the man page, but glGetError then also returns 0, which is the constant for "no error recorded".

 

So I'm at a bit of a loss here. I feel like VMWare Fusion probably shouldn't crash even if I've done something egregious, like trying to reference out-of-bounds elements in a vertex array, but given that it is I'd really like to know whether I've made an error.

 

Any ideas would be welcome.

 

EDIT: updates: somebody has tested this same code on a non-virtualised Linux without issue. So that possibly puts more suspicion on the Fusion 10 implementation of hardware OpenGL acceleration.

Is it possible to copy a vm to a usb drive from a non bootable esxi 5.0 host? I have a host that will not boot, I am getting a pink screen stating no place to dump data on disk. I can not get the exsi host to fully boot. I have the option to go into debug mode, I was hoping I could somehow get into the host and copy to a usb drive a vm that I need data off of.

Connected vs Disconnected Sessions, Concurrent Users

We are looking at moving from a named user license model to a concurrent user license model and I am confused about how concurrent user (CU) seats are taken.

 

Using some made up numbers, lets say we have 250 Named User (NU) licenses. View is showing our Total Named users at 240 and for Concurrent it is showing 30 current connections and 48 as the highest.

 

However, when I look at sessions I am seeing 80, with 35 connected and 45 disconnected.

 

How many CU licenses are used if I have 100? Is it 30, 35, or 80?
