For this, you need to recompose from a new snapshot, which will have required nic settings. Because once deployed, replica VM gets locked for any further modification, due tot he fact that all the clones are dependent on it.
But if you are looking for changing the network label of clones, then Replica-Vm's nic settings can be ignored.
Hi,
This is not a running job but an active job waiting for manual synchro
Thanks
I use vCloud Air service.
For working with VMs I use vmware/pyvcloud library.
VM template from 'Public catalog' has one disk, connected to 'Paravirtual SCSI controller'.
I create VM from this catalog.
When I attach independent disk, it always connected to new 'LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller'. This controller has high priority and boot order was changed.
Therefore VM can't boot after reset or power off.
I can change boot order manually from VM bios, but I must do it in script.
I haven't api for accessing to VM bios settings. Usually boot order can be changed in vmx file, but in vCloud I haven't access to this file.
I have only two solutions.
1) In my automation script setup boot loader to new independent disk
2) Use only custom VM templates with default disk, connected to 'LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller'.
IT WORKS !!
Thanks Larsonm for your help !
Hi,
I´ve some trouble to satisfy a user request. In fact this user will decide, if we turn our test envrionment to production ...
a key-requirement for our View-Windows-Desktops is, to support softphone; no problem, I thought because RTAV should work. And in fact: RTAV works!
But using RTAV allows to use only one audio out device - and the user wants to select via Cisco Jabber Client two different audio out devices:
Cisco Jabber Client offers the possibility to select three options for audio:
- speaker (1)
- microphone (2)
- and warnings (3)
for (1) and (3) with RTAV I can only choose the VMware Virtual Audio (DevTap) device, (and for (2) of course VMware Virtual Microphone).
My question: can I select to different devices for audio out, so that the user can hear the softphone ringing (the warning sounds) via the pc-speaker and then, after he has picked up the phone the sound comes only from the headset?
I´ve also tried the Teradici Audio drivers - no success.
And even if I use USB-redirection for the headset, I can´t get it to work: either the sound comes ONLY from the headset or from the speakers. although in Cisco Jabber Client audio settings I can then select different devices for (1) and (3) by using USB-redirecton. ....
My recent idea is, to use a separate USB-Soundcard for the warning sounds. Has sombody tried this before ...?
we are using Horizon View 6.1.1 and View Clients 3.3 and 3.4 for Windows; Cisco Jabber Client 10.6.2; View Deskopts are WIN7 64 bit
Thanks for telling your ideas / advice

Solved!!!!
After uninstalling Kaspersky Internet Security, I can install Host Virtual Adapter.
I realize if I install KIS first, after that install Vmware, it is unable to install Vmware virtual network driver which causes break host virtual adapter. I think it is a KIS's bug maybe. I'm using KIS version 15.0.2.361
So you'd better install Vmware before KIS.
Hi there,
First of all sorry for my broken English, as this is not my mother tongue.
Since I had a lot of issues with my Administrator Account I decided to create a new one, from which I would work on my Mini. This has worked fine so far, and the apps under which I had errors are nos working fine.
Indeed, this move has created other issues. Using VM Ware Fusion 7 is one of them. When I tested it under the new Administrator Account, it has started to work from scrap, and wanted to create new virtual machines. I have tried to set my Windows XP Family license under it, but failed completely.
The question is then to know if, instead of creating it from scrap, I could use the setup already installed on my previous Administrator Account? If yes, how to proceed? If no, how to deal with this issue?
The bottom line is quite obvious - there is no way to replace a Windows XP licence any longer!
Thanks in advance for any suggestion and help you could provide me with!
Cheers,
Pat
It seems that ESXi host installation disk doesn't have HBA drivers inbuilt. Either Install HBA drivers manually or inject drivers in media through image builder.
- Identify correct driver for ESXi host.
- Download drivers for HBA.
VMware Compatibility Guide: I/O Device Search
- Install Driver through bundle.
VMware KB: Installing async drivers on VMware ESXi 5.x and ESXi 6.0.x
Verify ntp, and if happens network bottleneck between host and guest. Eventually try to extend vcenter timeout period
This is what I use. We have a pretty large environment so sometimes we're deploying a new QA enviroment of 20 or 40 VMs, or we're migrating 138tb from one array to another.
I do call another function Get-mDataStoreList.ps1 to retrieve the list of eligible datastores. It'll return datastores the hosts can see that aren't in maintenance mode, and minus some special purpose datastores that won't hold VMs, like an NFS share for templates.

============================================================
#Parameter- Name of the VMware cluster the VM will be assigned to
function Get-DatastoreMostFree ($Cluster, [switch] $Second)
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Return the datastore in the cluster with the most unprovisioned disk space. This takes thin provisioning into account.
.DESCRIPTION
Queries all the datastores in the cluster and returns the datastore with the most free disk space. Used in conjunction with a mass cloning of virtual machines script. (Clone_Template_fromCSV.ps1)
.NOTES
1- You will need to modify the 2nd to last line's with criteria for your own environment. I'm filtering out anything that's designed to hold guest VMs, like any datastores hosting ISO files and template VMs.
2- Error and constraint checking need to be added. If you try to put a VM a full LUN it will fail.

$DSTs = Get-mDataStoreList $Cluster
if (!$Second) {
$DST = $DSTs | Where-Object { $_.FreeSpaceMB -gt $LUNSizeFreeMB } | Select Name,@{n="Provisioned";e={($_.extensiondata.summary.capacity - $_.extensiondata.summary.freespace + $_.extensiondata.summary.Uncommitted)}} | Sort Provisioned -Descending | Select-Object -Last 1 -Property Name }

My hosts are always ntped to public NTP servers (yes, I do verify that they are actually online), so timing is not an issue, also they are all added to Active Directory!
I will make these time-out changes, I think these issues are caused by resource contention, causing longer response time by esxi host to the vcenter.
Many thanks!
The certification director, Paul Sorenson, just said it won't be until 9/28/15. Wow... just wow.
Hi. I’m sorry about the problem. Will you please open a support case with GSS and mention the importum script.
I appologize if this got posted elsewhere. I think I am in the right place now.
I have seen an old answer to this with previous software versions.
Want the latest info with current versions.
Thanks for your consideration.
I am trying to perform Storage vMotion of a VM. It's failing with below error.
This method is disabled by 'moref=17705'
My guess is someone managed a SQL 2012 server but never installed the SQL server component. I've run into similar issues when multiple SQL instances are installed on the same server. You probably need to talk to a DBA to truly understand what its being used for and why its on the server.
Regardless of why I believe you can resolve the VDP issue by renaming the 2012 SMO dll. I believe VDP chooses newest SMO SQL version available. If that version isn't being used renaming it is the easiest solution. VDP will not see it available and should use the version of SMO that matchas the SQL instance your trying to backup. Do it at your own risk. Although you should be able to rename it back if something breaks.
Hello!
Did you try to create a new vmkernel port for the management of ESXi?
The PING to host is OK?
Sorry for my English
Resolved the Issue. DvS port groups were not properly mapped to the hosts within cluster. One mapped and ran Data Collection, all the vLAN successfully appeared in Network tab of reservation.
Method#1 - Manually remove entry from the VCDB.
select * from VPX_DISABLED_METHODS WHERE ENTITY_MO_ID_VAL = 'vm-ID'
delete from VPX_DISABLED_METHODS WHERE ENTITY_MO_ID_VAL = 'vm-ID'
Method#2 - If this doesn't work, register *.vmx file again which will fix the issue.
Note: To perform this, you will required downtime of server.
