Are you on High Sierra? If so, you need Fusion 10.

Re: Guess it is time to scrap VMWare Fusion 8.5.10 as there is no support and the software is now useless for me - No Boot Camp Volumes Found but there is one and Windows 7 runs fine on it, just no virtual machine thanks to VMWare lack of support

VRASNImportCMDB - bug in code??? ; marking CI records RETIRED
**thanks to my ServiceNow developers...
var numberOfPages = parsed.metadata["totalPages"];

Re: VMware workstation 14 Pro loses Mouse Focus
The problem is caused by third party MOUSE related software.
So far identified are WIZMOUSE and TOUCHPADBLOCKER
If you want to solve the problem before some fix is forthcoming from VMWARE try uninstalling such software.
For those using WIZMOUSE try STROKESPLUS instead this has the WIZMOUSE feature and also much more and for me works with VMWARE WS 14.x

Re: Command key on Mac not working after upgrade to 8.5.10
Hi charliektm400exc ,
Could you check the Keyboard & Mouse settings of Windows 7 VM if you're using 'Profile - Default'? This could be accessed via Virtual Machine-> settings -> Keyboard & Mouse.
Also, could you please attache the vmx file of your Windows 7 VM? You could find it by right-click Window 7 VM in VM Library-> Show In Finder-> Show package contents.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Space still used after converting to Thin provisioning
Hey continuum,
So I tried running the command you mentioned on my RHEL 5 VM
dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy-file bs=1M; rm -f dummy-file
it filled the / filesystem then deleted the dummy-file just fine
I then did a storage vmotion to a new Datastore and checked but the size still showed being used.
Does the VM need to be powered off before the storage vmotion?
Am I missing something?
should I be doing something different ??
do I need to set anything on my ESXi 6.5 server?
thanks again for all your help I really do appreciate it.
Paul.

"Config Error" for sensor "Front Panel LCD Cable" on Lenovo x86 Servers
Got an alarm on my ESXi that said: "front panel board 1 FP LCD Cable 0:config error". Been research the issue on google and found this link: https://support.lenovo.com/id/en/solutions/ht117811
=Here's some summary on their official webiste:=
- "the status "Config Error" for sensor "FP LCD Cable" may appear on the affected machines if they do not have LCD system information display panel (FRU: 00D0464) installed. "
- This issue affected on certain Lenovo servers and ESXi model.
- Solution:
The symptom is corrected in IMM2 firmware 3.00 (Build ID: TCOO18M) and later versions.
-Workaround:
Ignore this false alarm. (Yes.. ignore)
But i have weird issue, after this false alarm occured, i unabled to login to Host via vSphere Client but able via Web Client.
There're 'not responding' remark on the Host and 'Disconnected' remark on VM. Though, all my VMs were able to remote via Remote Desktop.
Anyone has same this kind of issue with Lenovo servers?
Here's my detail:
VMWare: ESXi 6.0
ESXi Host: Lenovo System x3650 M5

Re: vRealize Orchestrator Rest API issue
I am trying to run a rest operation on vRealize operations through vrealize orchestrator, after adding the vrops host with default certificate, if i am trying to invoke a rest operation,
Error specified as mentioned above : Name mismatch in cetificate and host,
Solution: Creating a self signed certificate of vrops with common name customization, and adding to vRO as host and invoking rest operation will be successfull
Since there is no CA, i was trying to create self signed certificate by using openssl, after creating the Pem file, trying to upload on vROPS, it states invalid.
Might be the order of the certificate does not match.

Re: Horizon 7 kiosk mode? Or another way?
You can create kiosk mode to connect to the MAC address in your Library computers; this will be the host name and have VMWare generate a password
An unattended kiosk login is your best way.
We do this now with bat files to have it Auto Start. We are using AD and security groups to do this now.
You can make a .bat file in the Windows Startup folder to auto start and also put one on the desktop
Click here to lunch Windows 10 or 7 whatever u want to call it
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
vmware-view -unattended -serverURL put your server url here
sleep 15
start "Kiosk" "%~dpnx0"
exit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also put in 15 second sleep so I don't d dos my connect server each section when the machines are trying to connect

Problem with support file update.
I'm using ESXi 6.5, access through the web to manage, but I installed a client, the vSphere client, I know that after the 5.5 all the administration will be through the vSphere Web Client, but is there a pluggin?

Re: Install Error VMware vSphere 6.5 (ESXi) in HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10
So im guessing you're using direct attached storage? how big is the LUN that you're booting from? have you created a 5GB minimum LUN for ESXi and the scratch partition?

Re: Problem with support file update.
The old thick/fat/C#/desktop client does not work with ESXi 6.5 after Update 1. You will have to use the embedded host client through a web browser at https://<fqdn>/ui.

Re: Google Chrome on Horizon View Windows 10 desktops is very fuzzy
Have you tired to manually give you master image more video ram. I'm sure you are not using a grid or 3d fx soultion
Try to upgrade the video ram to set to 2 monitors and over 80mb of video ram on the master image. Then recompose to the pool so all VM's get the change. See if that fixes the issue
I have noticed the machines like over 50mb of Video Ram per Vm to run the best the auto doesn't look well on some machines.

Upgrading an application
Hi. If I've captured an application (i.e. Filezilla version 1.0), and now the app has a major update (i..e 2.0). Should I delete the existing Fileziilla UEM config file before adding in the new Filezilla 2.0? The question is around application upgrades that UEM has profiled in general. What's the best practice to ensure the upgraded app is properly profiled and contained within UEM - when the older version still exists?

Script to get infomration of datastore per cluster
Hi All,
Good Morning!
I am trying to write a script to get all datastore in the cluster and it should give me the data in table format like datastorename, clustername,capacityGB, freespaceGB,usedspace=freespaceGB/capacityGB *100
#$VCName = Read-Host "Enter the VC name "
Connect-VIServer VCname -WarningAction Continue
clear
$cls = get-cluster
Get-Datastore|where {$_.name -notlike "*local*" -and $_.name -notlike "*template*"}| Format-Table name ,capacityGB, freespaceGB -AutoSize
the above get-datastore cmd is giving me the list of all the datastore and capacityGB, freespaceGB but not the cluster name. I tried for loop as well but not getting the desired result.
Can someone correct my script above.

Re: vCenter upgrade ISO not working
The upgrade procedure requires the old vCenter to be available to pull the configuration for the new one. The system from where you run the installer however, can be your local PC (i.e. not a VM).
To save disk space on the datastore (since this is a lab this should be ok) you may consider to set a memory reservation for existing VMs to reduce the required disk space for the VMs' swap files.
