VMware Site Recovery Manager
Hello, I have question. I ran a recovery test and received an error on one of the servers. Has anyone seen this error before?

Joing NSX to vCenter
Every time I attempt to join NSX manager to vCenter I get the following error:
The vCenter has a CA certificate applied and working. I can ping between the NSX manager and vCenter without issue. NTP is working and times are synced. I can't find a lot on this error.

Re: VMWare Workstation 14.1.3 Install on Freshly Updated Ubuntu 18.04 Fails and Rolls Back
I was having a similar issue and uninstalling vmware-vmrc seemed to work. I'm not sure if you can have both installed at the same time, but Workstation kind of makes the remote unnecessary, so wasn't a big deal for me
as root:
vmware-installer -l
vmware-installer -u vmware-vmrc
Then run the bundle as usual (I prefer --console)

Re: not sending ctrl+alt+del since ESXi-6.7.0-20190401001s-standard
Credit to /u/vertifly for posting this on Reddit - but you can do <ctrl><Windows-key><alt><delete> and it'll send the ctrl+alt+del command and unlock the VM in Chrome - good workaround until they fix it, but it's must faster than using the GUI anyway so i'll stick with this!

Re: How to set hotadd memory or cpu using Powercli in Vsphere 6.7
Hi,
You can try this.
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$spec.CpuHotAddEnabled = $true
$spec.DeviceChange = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec[] (0)
$spec.MemoryHotAddEnabled = $true
$spec.CpuFeatureMask = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineCpuIdInfoSpec[] (0)
$_this = Get-View -Id 'VirtualMachine-vm-189'
$_this.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)

Re: VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vthread-9) - VERIFY bora\lib\disklib\sparseUtil.c:1245
Good - I wanted to suggest the same.
You were using all vmdks except one - so cloning with the Workstation function would have probably failed.
In such cases I boot the VM with a Linux LiveCD and then clone existing vmdk to a new one with ddrescue - that gives the best results.

Re: Drag an ESXi host to a new cluster?
We have vCenter with ELM as well and unique vDS which are used from serveral (stretched) Clusters. I cant remember if we have move hosts between those clusters after the was initialize add, but i cant see a no go or short stopper.
So try and report!

Re: One PSC for two vCenter Servers
One of the first announcements that caught my attention was the fact that VMware is phasing out external Platform Services Controller (PSC) deployments. And as such, 6.7 U2 is the last version where you'll be able to choose and deploy an external PSC when you deploy vCenter Server. However, you'll see a warning message that will inform you there will be no support for this architecture in the next major release of VMware vSphere.
You can use an embedded PSC and still benefit from Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM), which lets you link up to 15 vCenter Server instances in the embedded PSC topology.

NSX-T 2.4 - Edge VM Nodes configuration issues
I am breaking my head of figuring out on how to configure my Edge VM Nodes.
Currently i have a cluster made of three (3) ESXi with two pnics. As this is a POC i want to use only one pnic for Overlay and Edge Uplink connecivity.
I already configured the next:
- Two transport zones (VLAN and Overlay)
- One uplink profile with an MTU of 1600 with a Transport VLAN configured for Overlay.
- The ESXi hosts are only part of the Overlay Transport Zone and my Edge VM Nodes are on both Transport Zones.
- I have created two Edge VM Nodes, using the default "edge-one-nic-profile" and with two N-VDS. One is part of the Overlay Transport Zone, connected to a VSS Portgroup with a VLAN Tagged and also is receiving IPs using the same IP Pool of the ESXi hosts and the other N-VDS is part of the VLAN Transport Zone and is connected to a VSS Portgroups with a VLAN Tagged.
I am pretty sure i am doing a bad configuration between the VSS Portgroups and the N-VDS.
I only want to use one pnic for all the settings.
I have many questions:
- Is it possible to only use one Uplink N-VDS
- Is it possible to connect the N-VDS to a VSS Portgroup?
- Is it possible to connect the Edge VM Nodes and ESXi Nodes to a single pnic and have the logical switches provisiones on another pnic?

How do I unlock the BIOS for editing?
Как разблокировать BIOS для редактирования?
Имеется утилита PhoenixTool 2.73 с помощью которой я вытаскиваю все файлы из BIOS затем редактирую. Но вот обратно изменённые файлы не знаю как закинуть.

CPU frequency setting in VM
Как или где изменять вот эти параметры ?
How or where to change these parameters ?
Если вписать вот эти параметры в vmx то ничего не меняется, частота процессора всегда примерно 2195 mhz.
If you enter these settings in the vmx, then nothing changes, the processor frequency is always approximately 2195 mhz.
sched.cpu.units = "mhz"
sched.cpu.min = "2200"
sched.cpu.max = "3100"
sched.cpu.shares = "3100"
sched.cpu.affinity = "all"
sched.cpu.latencySensitivity = "normal"

Re: Performance issue with writable
Thank you Ray, since you mentioned the UEM , are you able to capture bookmarks only with UEM so that if I need to delete user writable then all bookmarks will be restored on next logon with new writable? This same kind of stuff with Mozilla.
I apologize for spamming that thread but I've figured that I ask. I can delete it if you want but I have posted the question on UEM forum and no one seem to be responding Chrome and Mozilla Bookmarks Only

Upgrade from Esxi 6.5 U1 to 6.7
I am running the free version of Esxi - no v-center,.. and would like to upgrade from 6.5 U1 to 6.7.
I was going to follow these instructions.. if anyone can tell me it is right, i would appreciate it - the cli upgrade method...
https://miketabor.com/how-to-upgrade-esxi-6-5-to-esxi-6-7/
if there are better instructions to follow- i would appreciate knowing where to get them. Also for doing backups (which is suggested in many articles) - should i consider purchasing v-sphere essentials at some point?..

Re: NSX-T 2.4 - Edge VM Nodes configuration issues
Is this a nested environment or do you have one pNIC for the VSS and the other for the NVDS?
If you send us some screenshots it is easier to understand and tell you where you might have it wrong.
You can accomplish anything with a single pNIC.

Re: Unable to obtain hardware information for the selected machine
Hello There,
Sol-1:
Have you tried powering off VM and then v2v ? Please power off the VM and then try the same task. Also you can analyze logs under below path on machine where you have installed VM Converter for clarity of errors.
C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs\
Sol-2:
If its a Windows VM try disabling Firewall from inside windows OS.
Sol-3:
The account which you are using for v2v must have administrative privileges on the VM which you are trying to convert.
Although Lowering down H/W Version is not recommended, but you can do it by v2v as you are doing it. For first you can try v2v after powering off your VM.

Re: Tab 'Permissions' missing in vRO 7.6 client
So I too am in the same boat here, I did find this in the release notes
Role management and group-based permission assignment:
- Assign roles to the users accordingly to the functionalities they want to use.
- [IMPORTANT] Role management is only available for vRealize Orchestrator instances authenticated with vRealize Automation.
- Create groups, assign and delete users accordingly to the permissions they need to have in the group.
- [IMPORTANT] Users from vRealize Orchestrator instances authenticated with vSphere can now be assigned to groups and given Run permissions. To enable group-based permissions for vRealize Orchestrator instances authenticated with vSphere, contact VMware Global Support Services and follow the instructions to download the relevant vRealize Orchestrator patch. For more information on VMware Global Support Services, please visit https://www.vmware.com/support/services.html.
- Assign content items to a group.
- For more information on vRealize Orchestrator roles and groups, see Orchestrator Client Permissions.
VMware vRealize Orchestrator 7.6 Release Notes
I have yet to test this but it looks promissing, I just need to find the release they are talking about. I will update once I have the correct release.
It is a little frustrating that VMware bundles such a major change into a point release.
