Re: Windows 10 Enterprise Unity Issue

Hi daylward,

 

Thanks for using Fusion TP build and give us feedback.


a. sometimes it would display the taskbar sometimes not => It's a known issue, and will be fixed in the release build.

b. sometimes nothing in Windows (even running Windows programs) would be visible=> known issue, caused by show/hide taskbar problem.

c. sometimes it would show the Windows desktop overlapping my Mac icons => I am wondering what do you mean by "Windows desktop overlapping Mac icons" as there is no guest desktop background in Unity. Would you please take a screenshot and upload it to this thread?

 

I really appreciate your suggestion and thanks for raising issue to make Unity better.

I tried to install WS 11.1.2 on Windows-10-pro-x64(10240) vm, I can install successfully.

But during the installation, the prograss bar didn't change at all.

I will try on a Win10-pro host when I have time.

 

Can you upgrade your win10-pro to 10240 and try again.

Re: vCenter Upgrade from 5.1 to 6.0 with external SQL 2008 fails during schema validation

Hi,

 

we have:

 

vCenter 5.1U3 (upgraded from clean install of 5.1.0b)

External MS SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1

Windows 2008 R2 SP1

 

our upgrade is failing the same:

 

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

install.vpxd.action.failed

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

VMware VirtualCenter failed firstboot.

 

Database in-place upgrade failed. Please see vcdb_inplace.err and vcdb_inplace.out for details.

 

Please refer to vSphere documentation to troubleshoot or Please contact VMware Support.

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

OK  

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

 

 

and in the vcdb_req.err file we also see:

 

 

WARNING: Cannot execute statement(rc=100).

DELETE FROM VPX_TABLE

^^^^^^^^^^

 

WARNING: Cannot execute statement(rc=100).

DELETE FROM VPX_INDEX_COLUMN

^^^^^^^^^^

 

WARNING: Cannot execute statement(rc=100).

DELETE FROM VPX_SCHEMA_HASH

^^^^^^^^^^

 

We are running the upgrade as a user with 'sa' rights to MSSQL and 'admin' rights to vCenter, SSO and Windows.  vCenter is installed to run as an AD service account.  This AD account has db_owner role assigned for the vCenter DB. 

 

Our original vCenter 5.1.0b DB was manually created, and then populated by the vCenter installer.  It does not use the VMX schema mentioned in the vSphere6 documentation.  Instead, the vSphere 5 installer mapped the AD service account to the vCenter DB user 'dbo', with a schema of 'dbo'.

 

Our upgrade would not progress until we added the AD Service account the ability to VIEW SERVER STATE to the instance.  Without this the installer failed accessing the system tables when trying to get the SQL instance port.  Apparently this is 'optional' in the vSphere 6 notes!

 

I have checked the SQL permissions, and remembered to add the temporary permissions to MSDB for the upgrade.

 

However - I CAN UPGRADE SUCCESSFULLY if I add the vCenter AD service account to the SQL role 'sysadmin' - so this has to be a SQL rights issue.  I could just do this temporarily for the install, then remove afterwards, but who knows what could break in the future if you do this.

 

I'll raise a support ticket with VMware and update if I get anything useful.

 

Regards,

Rob.

I'm trying do a quick and dirty integration with another system.

 

In my application, I can create a url  in that system to direct link   https://<ip>/uiserver/vmware/datastore/{datastoreName}    

 

I can put a hyperlink in a recommendation in vROPS

 

How do I make that hyperlink build dynamically based on what datastore kicked off the alert?

Restricting Vmware View Copy/Paste functionality

July 31, 2015, 4:16 am

Does anybody know if it's possible to restrict VMware View copy/paste functionality depending on the source of the client?

 

We have some users accessing VDIs from internal systems where we'd like to enable copy/paste in and out of VDIs but we've also got some users accessing VDIs remotely where we'd like to disable copy/paste to mitigate malware and data loss risks.

 

It seems VDIs can have GPOs set to restrict copy/paste functionality but that means it's set per VDI, not where that VDI is being accessed from. I was wondering whether for example there was an alternative where VDIs accessed via a VMware View Security server can have it disabled but VDIs accessed via the normal view server can have it enabled? Surely I'm not the only person to have this type of requirement?

 

Any help would be most appreciated!

Unable to do vCenter upgradation with Command line using our own repository in offline.

Hi,

 

I want to update the vCenter server  through Command Line Interface. Here i don't want to use VMware vCenter server appliance web interface. So for this update i want to change repository from default repository to my own specified repository. For this change, in command line i have specified my repository url in provider-runtime.xml. Where provider-runtime.xml is located in "/opt/vmware/var/lib/vami/update/provider/" location of my vcenter. So after editing this provider-runtime.xml file, am going for checking updates for vcenter which are available in my repository. For that am giving "/opt/vmware/vmware/vamicli update --check" as command in vcenter CLI, but it's giving an Error saying "Failure. Error downloading manifest.please contact your vendor". Before this, for confirming the change in repository i opened Web interface, there the change is reflected to my own repository. After that if i press "save settings" button and run the update command in CLI , then its showing about the avaialable updates. So in that XML file, the save settings is not doing. So for enabling save settings what i need to do in the XML file? please provide me the solution.

 

Thanks in advance...

 

The edited provider-runtime.xml looks like,

update-va-using-vamicli-0.png

And my error after changing the repository in xml is below, same in CLI...

Re: Is there a solution to the COPY PASTE problem in Workstation???

Hi Mario,

 

Welcome to the VMware communities.

Instead of linking to a ton of old problems that describe quite a few different issues can you tell us exactly what YOUR copy and paste problem is? As this is your first post here, it is difficult to guess.

 

What is your host OS?

What is your guest OS?

Did you install VMware Tools?

What VMware Workstation version are you running?

 

For the record, normally copy & paste from the clipboard works, but it might not work if your VMware Tools setup has been corrupted.

 

Also I noticed in at least one of the articles you linked towards that it talked about the "stale copy issue" where the paste ends up pasting the content of the previous copy clipboard action, personally that's the one I very much like to see resolved.

 

PS: Not seeing an answer in the forum doesn't mean that the problem did not get resolved. For the record this is a peer user forum where VMware users help each other, this is not the official support channel (although some VMware employees do monitor the forums and try to help out)

ESXi 5.5 vmware-ready certification / Workbench 3.0.2: Multi-GOS-Network Stress test waits forever on Win2003 reconfiguration

July 31, 2015, 4:33 am

Dear All,

 

I am trying to obtain the VMware-ready certification for a server platform and have the 3.0.2 workbench, which is needed for the ESXi 5.5 certification.

I am starting the Multi-GOS-Network stress test and it is doing fine until it starts reconfiguring the Win2003 (EE, R2 SP2 64-bit) Guest-OS. It is this point after 20 min or so when it shifts the network port on the VM to the second port (switch). All other virtual machines (RHEL, Suse, Win2008) finish, but the Workbench is waiting endlessly for Win2003. So it is always saying:

 

VM clone0_win2k3up64: waiting for customization to complete.

 

And it does so for hours until I stopp the test. If everything goes well it should start the test workload at about 35 min.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

 

Best Regards,

 

Ruediger (on behalf of Cathy Huang)

Hello Stoimen!

 

  • Version is 1.1 GA (Version 1.1.0.2773276  Build: 2773276)
  • No proxy
  • wshaffer linked the documentation referencing contacting VMware support for this issue, so I won't repeat that.

 

I've generated the support bundle and will send it to you.  I should mention there were multiple error messages when running the command.  The errors referenced "failed to run cmd: wevtutil",  citing "The parameter is incorrect."

I'll send what was generated into the .tgz file if I can get a proper email address.  Yours shows "(Private)" in your profile.

 

Looking into logs within AppData\Roaming\VMware\Software Manager\Download Service\Logs, I found the service attempts to connect to https://depot.vmware.com/PROD/

 

Attempting to connect to https://depot.vmware.com/PROD manually via web browser, I am prompted for credentials, and once I enter them, I receive the following:

"HTTP Status 403 - ::AUTH-BIZ-014::Thank you for your evaluation request. We are currently reviewing your eligibility, and request that you try again after 3 business days. Please contact us if you have any questions and quote Message ID: 621."

 

I've had my VMware account for YEARS, so the error doesn't seem proper.  That lead me to this KB: VMware KB: Message ID 621: Download request is under review for eligibility

 

I've checked my profile, and all fields referenced in the KB are completed (Name, Address, Country, etc.)    I am able to download files (.ISO, .ZIP, .OVF, .OVA, etc.) from my.vmware.com via normal web interface without issue, so I'm definitely "authorized" for products downloads.

 

More to come as I continue with this.

 

Thx!

Hi,

 

We are working on VMware View 5.1 and the desktops pools are both floating and Dedicated. User are configured with Outlook client for IMAP Gmail account, and once

the configuration is done the size is around 5 times the normal PST size which is configured on the local desktop. Ex= If Local Desktop PST file size is showing =200 MB

the same is showing 5 GB in VMware View VDI floating pool desktop. It is gmail IMAP account.

Let us know why this is happening and any suggestions to the same and it is highly critical as user space is getting more in network share.

Again if any information is required let us know.

 

Thanks

Interesting this was posted because I experience this as well... Horizon 6.1.1 here. But I only experience this with my Dell Venue with the windows client. If I'm using my P25 zero client it doesn't do it. But I see the same issues sometimes where the VM freezes up but I can move the mouse and even minimize the VM session and look at the local Dell Venue and everything seems fine...I always just chalked it up to the thin client causing it or a network lag somewhere. We are also using an all flash storage.
