Anyone interested that is in the long island ny area-that is certified in VMware-want to teach
That's basically it i am interested in knowing if there are any individuals certified in any VMware product that wants to earn while teaching me how to know the product and pass the cert.
This is a real offer just let me know if you have a few hours each Saturday to give me an accelerated learning course and prep me for the cert. I have already taken the VCP training camp so i know the basics but want more hands on.

Launch Instance stuck on "Loading ..."
Hello,
I successfuly deployed Openstack instance with vds.
As a next step would like to Launch Instance, but after "+Launch Instance" it stucks on "Loading ..." and after some time shows "Error: An error accured. Please try again later"
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Re: Inconsistent datastore performance
Don't want to get my hopes up, but so far it appears to be the write cache that's disabled causing me the majority of my grey hairs.
Enabled write caching in the system BIOS and so far, it appears that the speeds have more than doubled. Problem is it's not battery-backed, so if the server loses power I'm probably going to have data-loss on my hands.
The entire VM instance in this case though is to serve only as a destination for Veeam replicates, so don't think I need to be too bothered in that regard. I'm yet to test this again in the wild, so to speak, but from the limited testing I've done so far (upload a large file to a datastore via the datastore browser with and without write caching) seems promising.
Interestingly, running esxtop and checking the disk stats reported more than 20MB/s, but timing the upload manually and calculating the speeds revealed the real-world rate to be closer to 10MB/s...
Still, it's far quicker than it was without write caching.
Not sure if the kit is really up to the task either. The drives are WD Caviar Greens, doesn't look like the world at large has historically been too impressed with its performance.
Anyways, I reckon it's about time to test this in the field and see how it goes. Will update once I've had more concrete proof.

Re: cant copy/paste from guest to host
Thank you Alex, the stop and start commands work for me on Workstation 11 with Windows 7 32 guest and Windows 8.1 host.
Strange enough vmware tools were working perfectly when logged with an account with local admin rights and were not working with an admin domain account...
Thanks again.

Re: [500]SSO error:null
By local DNS server i meant that , we will map the DNS name to IP address locally in file %drivers%/etc/host where we can specify dns to ip address mapping. (which fulfills the necessity of DNS server).
my question is if we are able to resolve the DNS name , do we still need a dns server for any other reason.

Find out virtual machines on storage
Hi,
I am asking this question all over the place but still cant find answer after almost a year. Hopefully someone that knows that answer would be able to answer.
I have some virtual machines that are removed from inventory but they are still on some datastores but I dont know where. Of course I can use days and browse each datastore and eventually find where they are but this would take long time to complete.
Is there any script that I would be able to find virtual machines that are still on the datastores but not registered with vCenter. Not to delete them not to do anything just identify and see which machines are residing on the datastores but not registered with vCenter./ Some people say that this is impossible and it is manual process maybe it is I am not sure but just want to find out whether someone did this in the past

Re: Cannot start HA VM: Insufficient resources to satisfy configured failover level for vSphere
Hi All,
i made some additional research based on your suggestions.
I have disabled the automatic assignment of slots and made some test.
With 256 Mb and 512 Mb for slot, the result is the same.
One VM refuse to start with same error.
Now i tried to disable Strict Admission control as suggested by Anjani_Kumar.
All VMs now correctly start. All VMs are allocated for testing on the same host.
Later i'll try to switch the host in mantainance mode to see the result and if all the VMs will be correctly transferred to the secondary host.
Now, i'd like to know why the Strict Admission control won't let me start VMs assuming a single host is enough to power on all the VMs,
There is something i'm not understanding about resource allocation.
Can somebody give me some advice ?
I'll post a new comment after test.
Thanks all!

Re: Snapshot Question.
The VM will usually continue to work in the state as it was when you created the snapshot, i.e. if the snapshot was created with the VM powered on, it should continue in this state. However, there may be reasons (e.g. firmware or host upgrades, changed EVC settings, ...) which may make it impossible for the VM to resume. Check whether the VM's vmware.log file contains information.

Can you post what are the reservations allocated to the VM which is not starting.

Re: Find out virtual machines on storage
A great tool to find such "zombies" is RVTools. It will report such findings in its vHealth tab.

iscsi connection
Hi,
I have the following setup in a server running ESXi 5.5:
vswitch0 management network with 2 nics active/standby
vswitch1, multiple port groups containing 3 nics
vswitch2, vmotion network 1 nic
We are switching off the fibre channel array and moving to ISCSI. In order do this in the past I have always as best practice used two ISCSI vmk ports.
to be able to do this with 6 nics and the above config would mean that I have to change some of the nics around. My initial thinking was take two from the data (vswitch1) and use these but if one of the nic fails that leaves all the vms up the creek.
The esxi hosts are on a separate vlan to the rest of the corp network so I was thinking it could just move the vmotion to the management network. i know this is not best practice but i cant add any more nics to the server, the hosts are on a separate vlan and its not a big office. The esxi host are well over spec so unless a host fails i cant really see an issue with having vmotion on the management network. does anyone know of any reason why i should not do this?
Thanks

Re: Find out virtual machines on storage
As Andre suggested, RV tools is the best and Simple tool to identify the Zombie disk ,
Run the RVtools , Export the results and under the Health column you can see the list of Zombie disk that are present in your environment ,
If you want to try command line , Use this
Log into the VMware ESX/ESXi host as the root user
vmware-cmd -l
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms
find / -name "*.vmx"
This will list the Result as below
scsi0:1.present = "true"
scsi0:1.fileName = "/vmfs/volumes/23b2f3ea-980a1c90-3333-00112233cc66/diskStore/secondHardDisk.vmdk"
Let me know if you require any other help

Re: VMotion Across VCenter Multiple Datastores
No it will not allow you to complete compute and storage without choosing a storage destination. I agree I saw nothing in requirements on datastore number as well. I narrowed it down by looking at what I could and could not vMotion. It is reproducible as soon as I add an additional datastore.
