Anyone have any ideas why SQL Server Management Studio won't install on a VUM running on Windows 2008 Server?
I get an error indicating that SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 or greater need to be applied first.
When I attempt to install any SP (SP3, SP4), I get the error: The Instance ID is required or missing.
The database version is: 10.51.2500.0
Searched a lot but no luck so far.
Or any other suggestions how to backup the database.
Thx,
I am using Java SDK to import OVA from local file system. I followed the sample code in vapp/OVFManagerImportLocalVApp.java
That works fine for VMDK images. Unfortunately my OVA also contains an ISO image (mapped to DVD drive). Upload of that file fails. It uploads 42k and then gets a server error. Neither PUT nor POST nor different content-types seem to make a difference.
Are there any examples or tricks to upload ISO files?
Thanks, Patrick
Ran into something goofy/unexpected on vCloud Director 5.5.2 with PowerCLI 5.8.0.
The logic (in this particular scenario anyway), just checks if the vApp exists; if it doesn't it returns null, then it creates the vApp then does another request for the object. If the vApp does exist, it just skips the creation and moves on to use the object somewhere else.
When I run a command to get an object (typically a vApp Template), it'll return null, even though the object exists. The same thing happens when we request a vDC. Is this something broken with our vCloud Director install?
So for example, the following code...
#check if the vApp exists, if not, create it
$vApp=Get-CIVApp-Name$vAppName-OrgVdc$vDC -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue
if($vApp-eq$null){
#create the new vApp
New-CIVApp-Name$vAppName-OrgVdc$vDC-VAppTemplate$vAppTemplate# -ErrorAction:Stop
#get the newly created vApp and store it. If it doesn't exist, fail the script
$vApp=Get-CIVApp-Name$vAppName-OrgVdc$vDC -ErrorAction:Stop
}
...results in the following errors:
New-CIVApp : 1/9/2015 7:09:59 PM New-CIVApp DUPLICATE_NAME: The VCD entity new_vApp already exists.

I run Kubuntu 14.04, including VMware Player, and I have a Windows 7 VM. I recently purchased a Seagate USB hard drive. The Linux machine can see it just fine, but the Windows 7 VM cannot see it at all. (A Windows 7 non-VM machine also can see the drive.) I have tried the on-line solution for VMware Workstation, but on the VM menu in Player the "Removable device" link is greyed out. I have other USB drives that both the Kubuntu and the Windows 7 VM can see (not at the same time, obviously).
I have no idea what to try next. Anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks.
The following code is blowing up for me since upgrading to 5.5.2 . It seems like setting a variable or iterating through the values from workflow.getInputParameters().keys is not working. Create a scriptable task with this code and see if it blows up in your face. It does in my environment and is crippling us. May have to roll back to a previous version. If someone else can verify this I'd appreciate it. Also attaching a workflow. I have two passes through since it seemed to work once through a couple of times but always failed on the second iteration. I think if I completely bounce the vCO server (not just the service) it will actually set the variable once but after that it will always blow up on me. Run the workflow a couple of times in a row.
System.log("workflow.getInputParameters() first run: " + workflow.getInputParameters());
System.log("workflow.getInputParameters().keys first run: " + workflow.getInputParameters().keys);
for (var i in workflow.getInputParameters().keys) {
var curKey = keys[i];
//print out properties in format key :::: value
var curValue = workflow.getInputParameters().get(curKey)
System.debug(curKey + " :::: " + curValue );
}
System.log("workflow.getInputParameters() second run: " + workflow.getInputParameters());
System.log("workflow.getInputParameters().keys second run: " + workflow.getInputParameters().keys);
for (var i in workflow.getInputParameters().keys) {
var curKey = keys[i];
//print out properties in format key :::: value
var curValue = workflow.getInputParameters().get(curKey)
System.debug(curKey + " :::: " + curValue );
}
I have ran into what appears to be a serious bug with VMWare Workstation 10.
I am running on a 64-bit version of Linux Mint 17 with VMWare Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310.
The guest OS is Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit). I have shared a host folder with the name of "Domains". On the Windows 7 guest, I am trying to create a symbolic link to the source code for our application, which resides on the host hard drive, in the domains folder. I am using the mklink command as follows:
mklink /D sourcecode "\\vmware-host\Shared Folders\Domains"
The link is created properly and I am able to view it, etc., using command line or Windows Explorer, except I can only see one directory deep!!!
If I go into a subdirectory (which is successful), and do a dir, it shows no files. Files do exist on the host. If I create a file (eg: copy con: test.txt), the creation succeeds and the file is visible on the host. However, it is still invisible on the guest in the sub-directory.
This is something that I have done successfully with Oracle VirtualBox and Parallels. In fact, I imported the VM into my MacBook and it runs great under Parallels.
Please advise. I have tried adding the followSymbolicLinks option to the *.vmx file, without any change in behavior.
Cheers!

For the purposes of preparing my defence, how important is it how the integration between products on the vCloud Suite is accomplished? For example, if Orchestrator connects to a third party system using RPC or SOAP instead of REST, when it could have used REST? Is this more of a "software architecture outside the scope of the design" issue or is it a critical design issue?
What are all the possible network types that I might need for a vsphere deployment?
-Network for vmotion traffic
-network for management traffic
-networks for virtual machine traffic
-network for nfs traffic
-network for iscsi traffic
-others?
If I import a certificate from a vCenter into Orchestrator, and then afterward I implement PKI to give my vCenter a trusted certificate, will my workflows against that vCenter fail until I import the new certificate?
Thanks!
Hi All
I am facing strange issue, i installed ESXI 5.5 on home lab and the installation done successfully without any problem and i configured the network on ESXI 5.5 But from my laptop i am unable to connect to the host when trying to ping the below message appeared :-

Thank you Guys
I am developing an application, which I want to deploy on my VMWare VDI. I want the application to start as soon as the user logs on to his/her desktop.
I have a golden image of Operating System (Windows 7) which is pushed to all machines at startup, and a user specific network share which is permanently mounted & available. I can either place the files on the golden image and edit the startup registry, or place the files on the network share and point the startup registry to this.
Which method will be best suited? or any other suggestions?
Hello,
i have tested the upgrade of ESXI 5.5 in VMWare workstation with succes.
On HP i have a problem the upgrade stops at "initializing ACPI" (see screenshot).
Bios is update
What to do?
Thx
Hi Forks,
I want build a 100% Virtualized SMB infrastructure using three ESXi 5.5 hosts (Vsphere 5.5 Enterprise +).
My prime intention is not to mess around with separate machines for each Vcenter Server. Domain Controller, VSAN etcetera.... etcetera.
Following block diagram depicts what I intend to do, please provide me feedback of your thoughts weather this is feasible, if not your proposals and suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
I have an esxi cluster setup with multiple datastore is there anyway to restrict users to use only particular datastore when they create vm?
I have an NFS storage system based on Windows Server 2012 R2.
I create a volume (520GB) with appropriate permissions and settings.
Then I attach it as datastore to my ESXi host (ESXi 5.5.0, 2068190).
I attach it without any problem but when I try to attach a disk to any VM on this ESXi from this datastore I get error "Unable to access file [datastore_name] VM_name"
what can be the issue?
already applied these but with no luck

Hi,
I have two separate installations of vROPs 6, both pointing to different vCenters. On both I have the error "One or more ports are experiencing network contention". I cannot see anything at all wrong with the network ports and this was not reported in the previous version (vCOPs 5.8.4).
Has anyone else seen this? It's on the Recommendations tab. under Health.
I'm trying to figure out whether its a bug in the new version or not.
Thanks.
こんにちは。
ESXiの時刻設定についてご教授ください。
(当たり前の事を聞いているかもしれませんが、ご了承ください)
ESXiでは、サーバのハードウェア(BIOS)クロックのタイムゾーンをUTCにする必要があると思います。
gowatana 様の書かれた、
https://communities.vmware.com/people/gowatana/blog/2012/12/03/%E5%9B%B3%E8%A7%A3-esxi-%E3%81%AEsyslog%E3%82%92%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E6%A8%99%E6%BA%96%E6%99%82-jst-%E5%8F%97%E4%BF%A1%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95
に記載されているように、ESXiでの時刻の記録(syslog等に記録される時間)はUTCで行われると思います。
例えば、
・BIOSのタイムゾーン : UTC
・ESXi : NTPサーバを参照するように設定
・VM : NTPサーバを参照するように設定
・vCenter Server(Win) : NTPサーバを参照するように設定
となっている場合、
ESXiの時刻はBIOSで設定されているゾーン(UTC)の時刻で(ファイル等を)記録。
VMはNTPサーバを参照して、JSTの時刻で記録
vCenter Server(Win) : 日本語Win環境のため、vSphereWebClient経由で見た場合、ESXiのログをJST(+09:00)して表示くれる。
となる認識で合っているでしょうか。
(確認できる環境が手元に無いので確認させてください。。)
また、サポートにログを送る場合、vSphereWebClient経由でシステムログのExportを行いますが、
その場合はJSTに変換されずにUTCのままだけど、サポートはUTC時刻ということを知っているから、
ちゃんとJSTに(脳内？)変換して見てくれる、となるのでしょうか？
よろしくお願いします。
Hi All,
I am attempting to power up a number of VM's but am getting the infamous "Not enough physical memory" error running Workstation 11. I have come across a number of articles that provide a workaround by adding a line to config.ini and/or updating to the latest version of Workstation as per the blog below
Problem is that even after Workstation updates (there are none) and adding in the config.ini I am still unable to power up VM's even though I have plenty of RAM available.
Any further assistance in getting Workstation 11 actually going?
Thanks
Hi all,
i would like to compare the Folder-ID of an VM-Parent-Folder and another Folder
If the VM-Folder-ID is equal to FolderID = do nothing
If the VM-folder is not equal to FolderID = do something
I have the following lines:
PS C:\> $VMFolderID
FolderId
--------
Folder-group-v54375
PS C:\> $FolderID
Id
--
Folder-group-v54375
PS C:\> $VMFolderID -eq $FolderID
False
What´s going wrong here?
Thanks in advance
Chakoe
This is assuming one uses the HP custom ESXi build.
Thank you...
