Hi Equelin,
You may try to reboot your vCenter Server or its services and try again to open a browser with cleared cache.
Cheers.

Re: moving vm to a different datacenter
It looks as if you have multiple ResourcePool objects returned, hence the "System.Object[]" in the error message.
If you have multiple vSphere server connections open (check $global:defaultviservers), add a Server parameter on the Get-ResourcePool cmdlet.

Re: Fusion 8.5 , sierra as host, win 10 Anniversary as VM
nothing specific it's a windows 10 enterprise build with basic office tools ...
If I need to re-install it it'll be a big pain ... but I can see the VM now using 200G where there is 80G of disks...

VMRC 9 Installation error on windows 10 machine with a VHDX native boot
Hi, everyone.
I have some problem when installing VMRC 9. I looked up other threads and did everything with no luck. Mine seems to have different issue.
Whenever I tried to install VMRC 9 on my Windows 10 machines with native VHD boot setting, I faced the same error msg as follows;
It is quite weird. I have never encountered this kind of problem when installing any applications. I have been a big fan of Windows VHD native boot feature for several years..
As I experienced a success with one with Windows 10 1 Year Update Home VHDX installed by chance, I decided to pay the price of a clean installation, but ended up with a failure again.
Here is what I have tried on 4 different devices.
OS Ver | Install Type | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 Pro | VHDX | Failed |
| Windows 10 1 Year Update Pro | VHDX | Failed |
| Windows 10 1 Year Update Home | VHDX | Succeeded |
| Windows 10 1 Year Update Home | Native | Succeeded |
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Problems in creating virtual disk from the command line
Hi there,
I have problems in creating a vmdk using the command line method, I'm quite sure my command format syntax is correct but I keep getting the irritating message "Extra arguments at the end of the command line."
Target vmdk file name without bracket:
vmkfstools -c 73g –d zeroedthick sample.1.vmdk
Extra arguments at the end of the command line.
Target vmdk file name with 'sample.1.vmdk' bracket:
vmkfstools -c 73g –d zeroedthick 'sample.1.vmdk'
Extra arguments at the end of the command line.
Target vmdk file name with "sample.1.vmdk" bracket:
vmkfstools -c 73g –d zeroedthick "sample.1.vmdk"
Extra arguments at the end of the command line.
So basically I really have no idea what went wrong, target storage is a shared storage managed by vcenter
Thanks

Re: Network shared folders does not work using NAT
Yes nancyz, I cannot access shared folders (SMB or NAS), by using the hostname or the IP address, if I used the NAT mode.
But using the bridged mode, I can.

VM Name Field Problem in Run Script in Guest vRO Workflow
I am attempting to use the Run Script in Guest vRO workflow as an XaaS Blueprint that is added to an IaaS Blueprint that provisions a VM to build a composite blueprint. So - what I want to do with the composite blueprint is: (1) provision a VM and then (2) run a script on it after provisioning. The problem that I am having is with the VM Name field in the Run Script in Guest workflow, in that the VM has not yet been created when I create the composite blueprint.
I don't have any problem using the Run Script in Guest vRO workflow on a VM that already exists - the workflow runs without issue.
I am trying to find a way to tell vRA to use the name of the VM that it creates in the previous step (i.e., the IaaS Blueprint).
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Thanks.
Bob

Upgrade to Fusion 8.5 or stay with Fusion 8.1.1 for now?
I run Fusion 8.1.1 on my desktop mid-2011 (non-retina) iMac for many operating systems - various Windows, Mac, and Linux. I also run Fusion 8.1.1 on a Mac mini server, which runs the home firewall (software appliance) in a virtual machine. The iMac host runs El Capitan, and the Mac mini still runs Mavericks.
Should I upgrade to Fusion 8.5, or wait until a later version is released (hopefully with more bug fixes)?
I get the feeling that my important bugs are not fixed in version 8.5:
* The mini windows don't update
* Unity view keeps popping up as the active window unexpected.
Does Fusion 8.5 offer compelling new features or bug fixes for my specific situation? What would you do?

Re: Network shared folders does not work using NAT
I just re-installed Fusion, now only default shared are visible (Downloads, Desktop, Documents...) but you can't browse in their subfolders, you can only write/read in the principal folders, is useless right now for me.
Additional mapped shared resource like external disks doesn't are visible at all.
I'm having the exact same problem that started after the Windows 10 Anniversary update. I did find a temporary work around.
Go to System Settings >> Sharing >> Open in Guest >> navigate to the folder you want to access >> drag the folder to Quick access in the left pane
Once you open any folder from its Quick Access pin, you can open any subfolders contained within it.

Re: vRA 7.1 - Join Provisioned VM to Domain without vCenter Custom Specs
I did use a VCO workflow to create the CNO during VM provisioning (at building machine time)
then I used netdom to join the domain. I actually did leave the username and password for the domain join (doesn't have to be dom admin anymore if the CNO is created). Used a service account
I also added two more lines to the script to delete itself (delete the script) and then reboot
this actually does work. but maybe you can come up with a better hide to somehow hide/encrypt/use that password
that problem is also discussed here:How to Pass Encrypted Custom Properties to vRealize Automation Guest Agent
that was the good thing about vCenter customization, you didn't have to worry about that.

Re: Need documentation for VRA/VRO 7.0 Custom Resource/Dynamic Types features
there's a couple of documents to use it together if you have a Resthost target, but couldn't find anything without that
the following link also has link to tutorial
Dynamic Types plug-in generator package
I'm currently checking on using orchestrator plugin SDK. the 5.5 version comes with a sample plugin in form of a solar system. Playing with that. just to let you know that option is there as well if you are java developer and familiar with eclipse IDE, tools and SKDs

Re: Attempt to destroy a VM fails
Heya,
essentially at that time I tried with the cloud client, but even then it did not work.
I then had to go into the SQL DB and change the state of the machine to somethign differrent. for example 'off'. then I was able to delete it.
Since I upgraded to 7.1 I don't see that problem anymore. my workflows are more stable and so is vRA. Also I found in 7.1 I have a lot less problems with destroying machines or inconsistencies. Seems VMware cleaned up a bit.
I did escalate it to VMware in the past, but they could only help me to remove the VM (as stated modified the state, then deleted)
