We are running VCAC 6.x and I have setup a blueprint for a RHEL 5 linux build. Network profiles have been setup, along with ip ranges. When I provision the blueprint the machine doesn't get the HOSTNAME that is set. Also the network interface comes up, has a MAC address but has no IP address assigned. When I login to vcac and check the IP reservations, I see that an IP HAS been assigned. What am I missing here?
Issue with Linux Blueprint not receiving HOSTNAME or IP address after provisioning

Re: Fusion 7 is running VERY SLOW on the GM of Yosemite
confirmed that putting the mac to sleep fixes the problem until the next reboot of the mac, no matter how many times you launch/quit fusion or the vm.
The last time I tried this I didn't even bother shutting down the vm, just put the mac to sleep, waited for the disk to stop spinning, woke the mac and the vm resumed, and high utilization was gone, interrupts at normal.

Re: Signing Someone Up w/out an Approved Email Domain
Hello Samantha,
Thanks for your reply, but it seems that I didn't express my question clearly enough because your answer covers the opposite of what I want to do.
I want to invite a supplier as an External Contributor and have him stay an External Contributor -- and to make sure that he has a limited vision of the community -- access only to a private group and no way to see the company stream or any content at all outside of this private group. I have not worked out how to get this done.
I know how to convert a Member to an External Contributor, but this feature does not help me because in the registration flow of a normal member, you are exposed to the entire community. I do not wish to have this supplier EVER have that kind of access.
I hope I have been clearer in stating my problem. Does Socialcast provide a secure way to invite a supplier into the community without exposing the community?
Best regards,
Howard

HA or FT for server maintenance?
I'm spinning up a new print server in our VMWare / ESXi 5.5 environment.
I'd sure like to be able to take it offline for maintenance (service pack updates, microsoft updates, etc.) without keeping the entire company from being able to print.
I have HA enabled on the cluster and setup fault tolerance logging on our vmotion network. I can enable FT on a test VM.
So how to I "failover" to the secondary VM and log into the primary to do updates? I would then need to return to using the primary. And push the changes to the secondary.
Also, as an aside, I had to do all this work in the fat client. My primary and secondary vm's show up in the fat client, but not in the web client.
Thanks!

VMWare player issues
I'm running VMware player..
Use the following link paragraph #1 to set up VMware environment: http://www.oratraining.com/blog/2013/03/installing-11g-release-2-real-application-clusters-11gr2-rac-on-linux-x86-64-virtual-machine-vm-step-by-step-installation-guide/
1. Added second network adapter host-only to the VM.
2. Started Linux VM and changed IPs in eth0 and eth1 to static IPS
3. My windows host is not on the network.
4. Whe I ping dhost1 I get IP different from the one I set up in eth0.
Will I be able to set up VM environment like in the link above using my WMware player and having host not on the network?
Thank you in advance.

Re: ESXi5.5U2-Patch03 on MacPro6,1 - Stuck on "Initializaing ACPI"
Tangentially to this thread: ESXi cannot function without ACPI. It's been years since ESX could run on a non-ACPI system. If you found a "disable ACPI" option on an HP server and ESXi was able to boot with that selected, it wasn't really disabling ACPI. Who knows what it was really doing.

Re: ESXi5.5U2-Patch03 on MacPro6,1 - Stuck on "Initializaing ACPI"
Great info, thanks. I was helping with ESXi bringup on Mac Pro here, and the Mac I was using had firmware MP61.0116.B05. Probably all the Macs we were working with had that firmware, so we didn't know there was an issue with .B04. (There were some issues with .B05, but we put in workarounds for those.)

Re: Signing Someone Up w/out an Approved Email Domain
Hi Howard,
Thanks for the clarification! Your use case outlines the exact purpose of our External Contributors feature! In order to invite a user an External Contributor you need to:
1. Create an External-Facing Group (only admins and EC admins have the ability to do this)
2. As an admin or EC admin, invite the email to that specific group as role: External Contributor
You can read more about External Contributors here: http://developers.socialcast.com/admin/external-contributors/

Re: Cannot Start vCenter Server Appliance - "Waiting for vpxd to initialize: ....failed"
Hi there,
I have exact same problem on the linux- based vCenter server appliance 5.5 installed with OVA on the ESXi host 5.5.
I used:
Name: VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-5.5.0.20200-2183109_OVF10.ova
Release Date: 2014-10-09
Build Number: 2183109
All services can start except the vCenter. It always says :
Starting vmware-vpxd: success
"Waiting for vpxd to initialized: .failed'.
I have checked the time on ESXi host and the vCenter and they matched since both the ESXi host and vCenter sync to same ntp server.
My DataBase is embedded and SSO is also embedded. "Test Settings" is successful.

Re: Workstation 10 can't launch VM after upgrade RHEL from 6.5 to 6.6
Hi mntnbighker,
I've checked your concern on my environment and no serious problem was found.
Trivial one was that all VM inventory existed was erased after reboot
although I've not still known the real reason for it until now...

Re: Problem printing from virtual machine
I solved the problem, and will share what I did to help others who might have a similar problem. I was led to the solution by reading VMware Knowledge Base article no. 1014535, and involved changing the way I configured the vm to connect with my network Epson printer. When I reconfigured so the virtual machine connected directly to the Epson printer over my wireless network in stead of printing using a pass through connection through the Mac (ThinPrint), it printed correctly. I still don't know why this problem did not exist previously when I was using the same pass through setup, but the important thing is it prints correctly again now.

Re: Please help me about Vcenter Server Appliance
You can delete the core dumps... just stop the vCenter services, delete the files and start the services again.
The following KB explain some situation where the core dumps fill up the /storage/core dump partition on vCSA 5.0: VMware KB: VMware vCenter Server Appliance 5.0 vpxd crashes few seconds after starting
And on KB article you can found the note:
To resolve this issue due to core dumps filling the partition:
- Connect to vCenter Server Appliance console as the root user. The default password is vmware.
- Change directory to /storage/core and run the ls command to check for core files
Note: If there are core dumps, delete these dumps and try to start the service again. The problem should now be solved.

Re: ESXi 5.5 ASUS H97M Plus, Intel I218-V "No Network Adapters" Error
Hello,
Currently I have an issue with the Intel 82579LM that is on a Dell T5600 Workstation. I built an updated ISO 5.5U2_201410004 with the ESXi Customizer script and it downloaded and install your 3.1.0.2-glr vib with no issues. But If I try to boot that disc on the T5600 it gives me no NICS detected. Now my previous custom ISO I made that I manually went and found drivers to test and slip into the 5.5U1 still works just fine but I checked and it net-e1000e 2.32. In your 3.1.0.2 did the id for the 82579LM get dropped? I am more than willing to test new vib. Thanks for the help
This is where I got my original driver.
