Hi,

We are getting 504 errors while launching the VDI desktop and the VM is showing, VMware tools not running. THis is happening random for VM's in a cluster.

Any ideas..

How can I get a list of all the virtual machines in my vSphere cloud from inside a Jenkins pipeline?

I couldn't find such an option in the vSphere Plugin for Jenkins.

Thanks.

I'm attempting to install and configure VMware Cloud Native Storage CSI driver in a Pivotal Enterprise PKS cluster that I have up and running.  I'm hitting an issue with the installation of the vSphere Cloud Controller Manager.  I don't see a way in PKS that I can schedule that pod to run on the master node as required,  My master node does not appear in the output when running commands such as 'kubectl get nodes' only the workers show up.  Under the covers it is running Kubernetes 1.14.5.

Is PKS simple not supported by VMware Cloud Native Storage?  Or is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

Thanks

Hello

I am having troubles with the installation of a VDP in "Replication Tarjet mode" and ask for help about it.

The asistant finish with ok all the tests and restart de VM but after that, in VCenter the task still at 70%. I have waited for a day and nothing changes.

When I try to access to VMIP:8543/vdp-configure/, the assistant starts again. If I try to refill all the steps (it remembers all the configuration), I cant pass the point that ask for "Create Storage".

The av_log file shows this.

And the status.dpn command, this

Has anyone idea about this and how to solve it?

Thaks and sorry for my english.

Dear all,

does someone have a complete description of possible settings for the Cisco AnyConnect (not the legacy settings please) for iOS devices?

There is a document from the VMware Knowledge Base which provides a rudimentary description, but nothing more sprecific.

We would like to better understand the settings for this VPN product and how to use them with WSO and iOS devices.

Thanks!

Hi All ,

Just curious if anyone has had success pushing AutoDESK apps out on AppStacks ? 

We run about 4 different versions along with a 1000 individual addon's each user has for AutoCAD / Revit..etc.

Any idea if putting these in AppStacks works ok ?.. From the searches i find.. it sounds like login times are getting crazy high.  Im also not finding any premade UEM configs so that makes me think not a ton of people are putting this in an Appstack ( well... and also using UEM ).

Any idea if bad idea to put AutoCAD in an app stack and put each AutoCAD ver on gold images ? ( which wouldnt be fun ).

If i remember correctly AutoCAD is over 100gb.. to have that copy down each and every time a user logs into a CAD machine would create an immense amount of traffic imo .

we are 2.15 app vol / 9.5 UEM / 7.6 Horizon .

thanks !

Hi

I have set Execution policy to RemoteSigned for LocalMachine as well as CurrentUser scope. However when my application is running powercli commands using sdk, I am getting following error -

"File C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk\VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk.psm1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170."

1) OS - Windows Server 2012 Standard

2) PowerShell Version -

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major  Minor  Build  Revision

-----  -----  -----  --------

3      0      -1     -1

Also tried by upgrading Powershell version to 5.1. It throws same error.

3) Get-PowerCLIVersion

PowerCLI Version

----------------

   VMware PowerCLI 11.5.0 build 14912921

---------------

Component Versions

---------------

   VMware Common PowerCLI Component 11.5 build 14898112

   VMware Cis Core PowerCLI Component PowerCLI Component 11.5 build 14898113

   VMware VimAutomation VICore Commands PowerCLI Component PowerCLI Component 11.5 build 14899560

Then I tried doing this setting in code for each connection I make, I don't see the error then.

Since the setting is global, want to avoid it setting through code. Any clue to why the natively done setting is not persistent through multiple sessions?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Experts,

We have a situation where in our vCenter server backup jobs get stuck at various %s ( 0%, 70%, 99% and so on )  and when I look at the event log I see the following events ( bottom to top)

Remove snapshot - completed

Rename snapshot - completed

Create VM snapshot - Completed

Remove snapshot - Completed

Rename Snapshot - Completed

Backup VM scheduled - Completed

Create VM snapshot - Completed

Backup VM scheduled - ( showing stuck at 99% ).

However the backup for the VM is happening successfully but the job which is stuck at 99% will remain like this until i manualy cancel it. this is happening for many VMs in the environment. We are using Tivoli for taking VM backup.

Initially, I suspected this could be because of vCenter to backup server dis connectivity and therefore killed all the stuck jobs but now this is happening quite frequently. Could you please advice what is going wrong here.

Many thanks in advance.

I have ESXi 5.5 HPE installed on my ProLiant ML350 G6 server and I want to use the web client to manage it. I have downloaded the vSphere 5.5 package and tried to install the vCenter Single Sign-On as a prerequisite to the vSphere Web Client but it fails. According to the log file it is failing while trying to install TCServer version 5.5. Any help to get the web client working would be great. Thanks.

after all of this installation and remote connectivity , i am facing error when i am opening the app volume manager, there is error like startup failure,
ODBC::ERROR:08004 (916) Microsoft, the server principle ******* is not able to access the database ***** under the current security context: USE*****

I have attached the image of the error

We are currently building a new GM for Windows 10 1909. I have used the official VMware guide to set everything up with OSOT and have used a customized template derived from the 1909 template that OSOT provides. We are using Instant-Clones with floating assignment.

Now with all the optimization done using the newest versions for Horizon, DEM and AppVolumes, I have found that the Login times are double that of our current 1809 branch. Granted we are using mandatory profiles but as this is no longer best practice, I did not set one up this time. I have since gone back and used the default OSOT template to rule out the possibilities of having anything active that might prolong the Login process.

Using Splunk and the Uberagent I have found that the loading of DEM and policies takes the usual amount of time, but the initialization of the profile in Windows itself takes a very long time.

Has anyone encountered this issue? Unfortunately I cannot pinpoint what is taking so long during setup as all the environment logging seems to do nothing and the few things I have found don't explain why it is taking so long. Last tests without DEM and AppVolumes have shown that the shell load time can be anywhere between 30 to 70 seconds.

Appreciate any ideas or info you might have.

Best regards,

Raetke

Hi.

I am using VMware Workstation pro and recently upgraded it to 15.5.2.

I have a virtual machine that I have been using for a long time. The OS is Windows 10 Version 1803. This version has reached its end of life and I need to upgrade it to version 1909.

I have tied several times to update it using windows update. It downloads and installs and then requires me to restart. When I restart and get in windows, I realize that the installation has failed and the windows version is still 1803.

I upgraded my Vmware to the latest version as mentioned above and tried again. Still I am experiencing the same issue.

I don't want to install windows 10 from scratch in Vmware as I will lose the softwares installed.

Any assistance is appreciated.

I'm running Mojave as a guest VM in Fusion under Catalina. The Unity mode menu selection is greyed out.

Can Mojave run in Unity under Catalina? If so, how do i enable it?

Thanks
