Patches are cummulative, so you would need to select something from before the Update 01 patch release.

Get VM Name in vCenter
So I'm working my way through the SDK and I've come across something strange. When using powerCLI I can connect to vCenter and do:
"get-vm"
this will give me a list of all the VM's on my vCenter server. Now when I'm working in the very poorly documented SDK the only thing I have been able to find is the:
VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine vm = (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)
vm.Guest.HostName
This will give me the "DNS Name" that's listed in the summary tab of vCenter, however this isn't what I want. I want a good old list of VM names like in powerCLI so I can take action on them.
Does any one have a link or resource to get this piece of info, and then what actions can be preformed on them?
Thank you much!

Re: ESXi 5 guests can't connect to internet
Yes, when configured with DHCP, the VMs still do not have access. I confirmed that DHCP is correctly configured on the router by using it on a physical machine, which was successful.

Re: Backups en cluster de Microsoft sobre un Servidor de Archivos
Hola que tal,
Como ya te comentaron, depende de como tengas configurado el cluster, basicamente el tipo de discos que estes utilizando para los discos compartidos del cluster. Si utilizas RDM en modo fisico (no compatible con snapshots), no puedes respaldarlo con soluciones de respaldo para VMware como Data Recovery, Veeam u otras, ya que éstas utilizan los snapshots para generar los respaldos.
Saludos,

Re: Converter problem - Win 2k3 fails at 95% reconfiguration failed
Just thought i would share that i just had the same problem. boot.ini looked fine (identical to what all the vmware guru's say it should look like)
I used Vcenter converter 5 on a server 2k3 server.
Solution for me was to use version 3 of the converter and not 5 and i was able to re-configure my p2v that version 5 migrated across.
everything is good now

Can't download vmware server 1.0.10 (fail)
I tried today to download vmware server 1.0.10, but the download link location on the download page (https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=SERVER1010&productId=25) points to https://www.vmware.com/go/getserver. This unfortunately does not have links for VMware server 1.0 (any release). Can someone please fix this? I know VMware server 1.0 is outdated, but the fabulous tool liveview depends on it.
Does anyone know of a working download link?

RAID support on AMD SB700/SP5100 Southbridge
It's listed in HCL that ESXi supports SB700 AHCI/IDE/RAID mode. I am surprised that ESXi supports software RAID, but a little search tells me this might not be the case. Can anyone confirm if ESXi 5 supports SB700 RAID 0?
Thanks

The solution is simple... Stop using VMware Shared Folders since it obviously doesn't work properly in this particular use case and use Industry Standard SMB/CIFS Shares instead.

Sata Marvel 88SE9123 ok to passthrough by DirectPath, but no disks
I have a Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 PCIe card, plugged into my vmware ESXi 4.1 host. I can succesfully passthrough the device using VMDirectPath and the controller shows up fine in a Linux, and Win2008Server guest.
However, the disks attached to the controller don't show up. Nothing. Plugging and unplugging disks makes no difference, no events in the guest, etc.
Any ideas?

Re: RAID support on AMD SB700/SP5100 Southbridge
I'd call it a bit of an oversite in the HCL - see here for a thread in which the RAID config doesn't work - http://communities.vmware.com/message/2052493.
ESXi supports a number of controllers for installation and I'd put this controller in that group.

Maximum number of view connection servers? Is there one?
From the configuration maximums for View 5.x, I can't determine if there is a maximum number of connection servers per VCenter/Composer server. Does anyone know the answer to this? I see a mention of 5+2 for 10,000 connections, but I can't tell if that is saying that it is the maximum number of connection servers supported, or giving an example of the maximum number of connections supported in that configuration.
Here is my dilema: We are planning to use a separate pair of connection servers for each pool, and we could potentionally have 10-15 pools, meaning 20-30 connection servers - each in a load-balanced pair.
The reason for this is to limit connection to pools. We have one large AD with all student accounts. If a student walks into one lab, we ONLY want them to be presented with the VM for that lab, and if they go into another, we want the same. The solution we came up with was to use the tags that control access to a pool per connection server.
Anyone have an insight into whether or not this will scale that that number of connection servers? I'm going to send a request to VMware for an official answer, but was wondering if anyone here knows the answer..
Thanks.
