Can someone explain how this is done? I can't seem to figure out how to downgrade the hardware version to allow for compatibility with ESXi. Anything other than version 11 says the guest OS is unsupported. And version 11 is unsupported for ESXi.

ESXi 5.5 choppy/stuttering sound, Windows guest, external USB audio (DAC)
Hello all,
I have ESXi 5.5 running on a HP ProLiant Gen8 Micro Server, ESXi 5.5 HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8, which doesn't have internal audio, so I purchased a Xonar U7 - ASUS DAC.
I want to be able to play from my music library, which is on a Windows 7 VM guest, through the DAC, and on to a receiver.
However, the audio coming out is extremely choppy/stuttering/laggy/distorted...practically unusable. Also, the entire VM starts lagging, together with the sound. When no sound is played, everything works fine.
I have eliminated drivers being the problem, as when connected to a physical computer, the setup works very well...so it has something to do with the host / virtual guest configuration.
What I have tried so far:
Changing the Advanced settings of the sound device to try different bitrates - nothing changes;
Assigning 1 or 2 cores to the VM - read somewhere this may be a problem - doesn't work in either setting;
I cannot configure passthrough, since it's not supported by the HP Microserver platform.
Any help or advice will be highly appreciated...I've been searching for a way out of this for a week now, and really don't want to give up on my virtual setup. Thank you!
Re: Player Pro Win-License (commercial use) integrated in Fusion Pro V7 ?
Hello Mathias,
VMware is not very clear in their communication on this part and I wondered about the same thing last September, so I asked via twitter @vmwarefusion
I'm sorry to say that it is no longer part of the Pro product.
Details here:
Twitter: ".@VMwareFusion what happened with VMware Fusion Pro license and VMware Player license?"
hope this helps,

Re: issue with AD plug-in 1.0.4
On line 10 of this workflow / scripting block, there is a call to function which validates provided configuration parameters.
Could you check vCO server log files for the exact Java exception and its stack trace logged when the workflow fails?

Re: Create vCO scheduled workflow automatically - blog post
Thanks for sharing. Just a minor remark: there is a bug in the code where you handle Fridays - instead of 'day = 5' the code should be 'day == 5'.

Thanks Andre!
I did see this earlier but since it was a little different I did not know if it was safe. I will give it a try and let you know.
Thank again

ESXI 5.5.0 build 2403361 (01/27/2015) - CIM SSL connections stopped working
Hi all
I've upgraded two hosts that were running ESXI 5.5.0 build 2302651 to build 2403361 and since then, the CIM server (sfcbd) has stopped accepting HTTPS connections. Querying with wbemcli doesn't work anymore:
[root@galaxy ~]# wbemcli -noverify -cte -nl ei https://user:password@192.168.240.5:5989/root/cimv2:CIM_NumericSensor
*
* wbemcli: Http Exception: SSL connect error
*
[root@galaxy ~]#
I see the following in /var/log/syslog.log, it's being logged every time a connection is attempted:
2015-01-31T20:25:43Z sfcb-CIMXML-Processor[644715]: *** 1920 Error accepting SSL connection -- exiting

Anyone know what's going on?

Can't Install ESXi 5.5u3 on MacPro 6,1 Firmware MP61.0116.B11
Hey Everyone,
I have a Mac Pro 6,1 that was recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 to have the latest firmware version MP61.0116.B11. I know that VMware marks MP61.88Z.0116.B05 as their latest. Upon downloading and creating a bootable ESXi Installer to prep the Mac Pro everything loads and then presents me with the ESXi 5.5.0 Installer but the system doesn't recognize any keyboard input so I cannot hit enter to continue the installation. I've tried a Dell USB keyboard as well as 2 Apple Keyboards but no dice for either. We are running another 2013 Mac Pro in the exact same configuration but that was shipped with 10.10.0 and likely has an older ROM version. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Unable to delete Approval policies from vRealize automation 6.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it is intentional that you cannot delete them. It was explained to me as a way of "version control". It is annoying but I put a version number in the names of the policies then copy one policy to create a new one with the next highest version number.
