Hello,
I'm struggling with running UNMAP from vRO against VMFS LUNs, while in case of bigger LUNs, which task takes longer that 30 minutes, which is somehow default timeout value.
Once after 30 minutes vCenter task triggered by but action time out, I do not have any information if and when UNMAP process ended.
Is there a way how to modify timeout of triggered VC:Task ?
I've already tried following:
TASK = unmapHost.configManager.storageSystem.unmapVmfsVolumeEx_Task(dsUuid);
TASK.createEndOfTaskTrigger(3600);
But it seems VC:Task modification does not returning any error, but also having no effect in terms of when task in vCenter will timeout.
For example, if I will try: TASK.createEndOfTaskTrigger(15);
I would expect, that vCenter task will timeout in 15 seconds, but it is not the case.
Regards

Hello all,
I am getting ready to install a new Lenovo server that I purchased with vSphere Essentials Kit. I am aware it is limited to three physical servers. I have four physical boxes in total. Can the vCenter Server Essentials manage more than three ESXi servers if two vSphere Essentials kits are purchased? Thank you.
Hi All, i need your help, We were facing the problem with host to controller communication to resolve the issue VMware engineer had increase the message.maxsize=8192. before change it was to default value 4K. When we had problem that time we were on 6.4.4 and now we are on 6.4.5 so want to know if we can increase further.
We have L2 Bridges on host due to that host face communication channel down issue.

When I try to switch between windows in my remote Windows session (MacOS host) using the alt-tab shortcut key, it just switches between the two most recently used windows. I noticed this behavior in version 5.2.0 and when I switched back to 5.1.0 it was working as expected again. It seems to be broken in 5.2.1 still.
I hope this can be fixed soon!
VMWare Workstation version 14.1.8 quit working after new windows 10 update was installed. windows 10 64bit with Intel core 7 processor. Windows does not recognize software. Says that it is not a windows program.
Scenario
We have a VMware ESXi Server with 512GB RAM and we have 25 VMs with 64GB RAM with "0GB" reservation memory for VMs. They don't use all of their resources but we need to do this because they use all of their memory(64GB) once a day. When they do this ESXi gives VM 64GB and tries to reserve it for VM. I know ESXi is managing memory by ballooning and other ways but it shows used memory in the "Host Mem" section of VM 64GB.
ProblemWe want to say ESXi if a VM didn't use memory for 10Min reclaim all reserved memory(Host Mem parameter). with powercli, VMtools, Linux script, a config and etc.
I know
I know about ballooning but we need to reclaim memory manually if possible. Or force ESXi to reclaim unused memory very fast.
Hi guys,
Flash redirection always is fail. i wonder if win7 and IE11 have limit? which everyone can tell me ?
My invironment is virtrual desktop and client deploy win7 and IE11,AD group policy has been set., Horizon is version 7.10 ,flash activeX has been installed.
i can see MMR server and redirection plug in IE extention of virtual desgktop.
Thanks a lot.

TX1310 M1に富士通カスタムのESXi6.7をインストールしたところ、
設定したパスワードでvSphereWebClientに入れなくなった。
https://i-think-it.net/esxi65-easy-password-configuration/
SSHもインストール直後は入れたので
(何度か試すと入れなくなった)
ここを参考にパスワード要件を最弱にし、英語小文字のみのパスワードにしたところ入れた。
改めてパスワード要件戻すと入れるのかも?
まだ試してはいない。。。
I'm trying to figure out why neither Flash or HTML5 redirection isn't working. I'm running 7.10 using Blast protocol, and the agents have the redirection feature installed. The Chrome extension is deployed and enabled, and the GPO is enabled. Yet whenever I load any Flash or HTML5 content, the Chrome icon does not light up.
Every part of the virtual infrastructure environment needs a channel to communication and a safe and secure channel always requires a certificate. ESXi Hosts, vCenter Server, NSX Manager, Horizon Connection Server and so on, each one of them has at least a machine certificate or a web-access management portal with a self-signed SSL certificate. After introducing of vSphere6.0 Platform Service Controller (PSC) will handle the vSphere generated certificates with a web access panel that has been called VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA). But in this post I want to introduce some CLI to manage VMware certificates:
There are many types of stores inside the VECS:
Now let me ask what are the roles of solution users? There are five solution users:
The default paths of certificate management utilities are down below:
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vecs-cli
/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/dir-cli
/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certool
And for windows type of vCenter server you can go to the:
"%programfiles%\vmware\vcenter server\vmafdd
Surely I will talk about what is the vmafd itself and other useful CLI vdcpromo in this path on another post. Also, I will provide a video about how to work with certificate-manager." is the default path of windows-based vCenter server.
For the last note, always remember that deleting Trusted Roots is not permitted, because if you do it, it can cause some sophistic problems in your VMware certificate infrastructure.

Hello!
I have passed through my LSI 9300 16i to a vm, on my onboard sata controller i have a datastore which contains the VM (just the vmx, no OS installed).
I have a fully working system running, i want to convert it to esxi and have the previous system running on esxi with the passedthrough disk, 16 disks.
Thanks
The issue is that I have created a server machine on a particular VM Machine and suddenly the network adaptor is not working for that VM Machine, while the network adaptor is working for the other VM Machine. When I checked the network adaptor setting in the control panel no network adaptor is showing and I tried to uninstall the drivers from for the network but it didn't work.
Please help to resolve this issue as of now no internet is working on that VM Machine and I have to do this urgent, please help.

今年も、日本の vExpert 有志による Advent Calendar をやります。
この投稿は、vExperts Advent Calendar 2019 - Adventarの 1日目です。
1日目なので、多くの人が利用しているであろう vCenter Server にかかわる Tips を紹介します。
これまで、vCenter Server(以降は vCenter)で仮想化基盤を管理するツールは何度か刷新されています。
簡単にまとめると、つぎのようになります。
もう廃止される予定の vSphere Web Client については、
vCenter 6.7 U3 では vSphere Web Client のリンクに赤字で「廃止」と明記されました。
(とはいっても、vCenter 6.7 U3 でも、まだ使用できます)
vCenter 6.7 U3 の vSphere Web Client / vSphere Client のログイン画面です。
この画面は vSphere Web Client / vSphere Client で共通です。
vSphere Web Client にログインすると、
vSphere Client へ誘導するメッセージが表示されています。
一方、HTML5 版の vSphere Client のデプロイ直後の vCenter の画面です。
最近の VMware 製品の Web UI は、Clarityというフレームワークを利用しており、
だいたい統一感のあるデザインになっています。
前掲のスクリーンショット「ビルド 14792544」と表示されているので、
2019年12月01日の時点で最新バージョンである「vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3a (6.7.0.41000)」です。
vCenter のバージョンとビルド番号は、下記 KB の「Client/MOB/vpxd.log」で確認できます。
Build numbers and versions of VMware vCenter Server (2143838)
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2143838
ちなみに今回の vCenter は、昨年のアドベントカレンダー投稿とおなじく CLI でデプロイしています。
昨年の Advent Calendar の投稿:
vCenter 6.7 u1 の HTML5 vSphere Client をクリスマス風にしてみる。
今年の JSON: 最近、便利なので "__comments" にデプロイのコマンドラインをメモしています。
それでは、今日時点で最新の vSphere Client での Tips です。
vSphere による仮想化基盤では、システム管理者は頻繁に vSphere Client にログインするはずです。
そこで、システム管理者に対してメッセージを贈ってみます。
製品ドキュメント:
vCenter のインベントリにて、
vCenter → 「設定」 → 「今日のメッセージ」を開いて、「編集」ボタンをクリックします。
そして、「今日のメッセージの編集」にメッセージを記入して「OK」をクリックします。
vSphere Client から、一度ログアウトします。
vSphere Client にログインしなおすと、画面上部の青帯に、メッセージが表示されています。
(しかし、そんなに目立たない気もします。)
このメッセージは vCenter の「詳細設定」にある vpxd.motd に設定されます。
motd は、message of the day の略です。
ちなみに、このパラメータは PowerCLI / API だと Read Only で設定できなそうです。
あと、etc.motd のほうは vSphere Client ではなくコンソール / SSH のログイン メッセージ設定です。
ただこれでは、メッセージに気づかないユーザもいるかもしれません。
そこで、もうすこしインパクトの強いメッセージ発信をしてみます。
先ほどのメッセージは、「vCenter Server」のもつメッセージ機能でした。
ここからは、vCenter の別コンポーネントである「Platform Services Controller」(PSC)のもつ
vCenter Single Sign-on のメッセージ機能を利用してみます。
製品ドキュメント:
PSC の設定は、vSphere Client の「管理」メニューから実施します。
Single Sign-On 配下の「設定」→「ログイン メッセージ」タブで、
「編集」をクリックします。
「ログイン メッセージの表示」を On にして、
「ログイン メッセージ」と「ログインメッセージの詳細」を記入してから「保存」します。
そして vSphere Client をログアウトすると・・・
vSphere Client の(PSC による)ログイン画面に、メッセージが表示されます。
メッセージのリンクをクリックすると、メッセージの詳細が表示されます。
・・・ただ、これだけだと、先ほどのメッセージより主張が弱いと感じるかたも多いと思います。
さらに、PSC のメッセージ機能では「承諾チェックボックス」を設置できます。
なお、Advent Calendar 紹介メッセージでこの設定を有効にするのはアレなので、ここからはメッセージを変更しています。
検証環境などでありがちな「このラボは2019/12/25に廃止予定です。」といったメッセージを設定しました。
これでログイン画面には、メッセージだけでく、
チェックを On にしないとログインできなくなる「次に同意します」チェック ボックスが表示されます。
チェック ボックスを Off にしたままだと、下記のように追加でメッセージが表示され、ログインできません。
「次に同意します」チェックボックスの隣のメッセージをクリックすると、
さきほどと同様に、メッセージの詳細が表示されます。
チェックを On にすることで、ログインできるようになります。
メッセージを工夫すれば、さまざまな使い道がありそうです。
以上、vCenter の Tips でした・・・
明日の vExperts Advent Calendar 2019 - Adventarは、Kaneda Naoyuki さんです。よろしくお願いします。
Fresh install on an HPE DL380 gen10 using HPE 6.7 U3 Custom ISO with VCSA 6.7 U3a.
In the Critical Host Patches predefined baseline, VCSA shows three missing items:
The Non-Critical Host Patches predefined baseline also shows a number of patches missing which are included in 6.7 U2 and U3. When viewing the Updates tab for the host, the "Installed on Host" section shows 6.7.0 build 14320388 which corresponds with 6.7 U3.
Is there some way to correct VUM so it properly see the host is running 6.7 U3 and stops reporting that it needs patches which are already installed?
Hello,
Since a few days ago, suddenly OVF templates through programs started to no longer deploy.
Deploying through the vCenter interface works, but from the vRLCM installer, it no longer works.
I end up with these errors: "2019-11-30T17:21:49.105Z - error: Could not get response in 30000 ms, from host: vcenter.internal.masterwayz.nl"
"ovf deployment failed after 1800000 ms passed in which no response from the server was received"
A NSX-T Edge deployment also fails with an error saying that it cannot write the request to the server with the vmdk file. (don't remember it exactly)
This suddenly happened, I feel like something is very broken here and I have no clue what I can do to fix it.
