こんにちは。
残念ながら、ESXiはデュアルブートには対応していないです。
1台のマシンで複数バージョンのESXiを試す場合は、
USBメモリにインストールして差し替えてブートしたり、
BIOSで何かしらの工夫（起動デバイス順序変更や有効化/無効化など?）が必要になると思います。
以上です。ご参考まで。

Re: How do I mask out VME on AMD Ryzen 7 1700 for Windows 16-bit/32-bit hybrid VMs (Windows 98)?
Sorry for the absence. I have tried a 1 GB virtual drive, removing the sound card and unchecked "Automatically connect new USB devices" in settings, Same issue. I've attached a new vmware.log file with the USB controller removed, how about taking a look at that and see if you can find any other abnormalities compared to your Win98 installation.

Re: VMwareToolsでのVSSライタ無効化設定確認
こんにちは。
手元によい環境がなくて実機で試せてはいないのですが、
下記のKBにあるように、VMware Toolsのデバッグログを有効にして、
無効化前後で見比べてみると、なにか出力されていないでしょうか？

Re: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY error
The best idea would be to restore from the backup, but if not possible fsck and checking services after rebooting the VM may solve the problem.
After running the fsck from the livecd it may be helpful to check if all the NSX Manager services (vPostgres, RabbitMQ andNSX Manager) have started and NSX Manager has connected to vCenter.
NSX Manager boot fail with partition unexpected inconsistency
Also checking the LUN that NSX Manager is located in against errors, and checking if NSx Manager running with snapshot could be helpful.
For the procedure of fsck detailed steps
https://blah.cloud/virtualisation/recovering-nsx-manager-corrupt-filesystem/
https://www.techcrumble.net/2017/10/vmware-nsx-unexpected-inconsistency-run-fack-manually/
NSX Manager CLI has shutdown command that halts the filesystem before powering off, so if poweroff is needed this command could be used in order to poweroff, similarly reboot command reboots halting the filesystem.

shutdown In Privileged mode, the shutdown command powers off the virtual machine.

Re: Cannot export to OVA after Upgrade to 6.5
I hope helpful folks at VMware are out there to resolve this. I tried all tricks like using compatibility mode, using Internet explorer , HTML5 version but no luck with export template option anywhere.
I was hoping to accomplish via powercli but got a thread where LucD have clearly mentioned that it is not supported. So back to square one

Re: PowerCLI+LogInsight API Filtering
Unfortunately no, I had not seen this reply. Thanks for that though as I had missed the commands up until today so this will be handy for future projects. I did learn a few things about leveraging the API via trial and error though so not a total loss.
What I ended up doing is rather the long road it would seem but using a couple functions I directly went to the API and doing a date comparison against a latest event:
Function for getting the API bearer token
function Get-BearerToken{
[OutputType([string])]
param([Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$myURI,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][hashtable]$myHeader,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$myUserName,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][securestring]$myHash,
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$myProvider)
Write-Host "Retrieving bearer token from API..."
$sessionData = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $myURI -Headers $jsonHeader -Body $(ConvertTo-Json(@{"username"=$myUserName;"password"=$([Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto(([Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($myHash))));"provider"=$myProvider}))
$bearerString = "Bearer $($sessionData.sessionId)"
return $bearerString
}
Base steps I used to pull the most recent log event for a given ESXi host for comparison:
$rootAPI = "https://loginsight.your.domain/api/v1/"
$thisURL = $rootAPI+"events/source/CONTAINS%20$($vmHost.Name)/appname/CONTAINS%20hostd?limit=1&order-by-direction=DESC&view=SIMPLE"
$sessionURI = "$($rootAPI)sessions"
$jsonHeader = @{"Content-Type"="application/json"}
$authHeader = @{"Authorization"=$(Get-BearerToken -myURI $sessionURI -myHeader $jsonHeader -myUserName $vRLIuser -myHash $vRLIpass -myProvider $vRLIprovider)}
$thisLogSet = Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -Uri $thisURL -Headers $authHeader -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
$baseDate = get-date -date "1/1/1970 00:00:00"
$newDate = $basedate.AddMinutes((($thisLogSet.results.timestamp)/1000)/60)
$eventSpan = (New-TimeSpan -Start $newDate -End ((Get-Date).ToUniversalTime())).TotalMinutes
Thanks for responding @LucD!

I am trying to figure out how to use svservice.exe atatch appstackname to attach an appstack from an icon on desktop similar to testdrive demo in youtube by Rory Clements.
I created a very simple app stack with no spaces or unusual characters in the name.
I opened a command prompt as local admin and typed SVSERVICE.EXE ATTACH appstackname
It tries to connect but the attach fails. Any idea why?
I really want to use this as a demo by tomorrow so I would appreciate any help the forum can provide

Re: programmatically changing workflow task name & description? __taskName & other __ special parameters?
No luck so far figuring out a way to programmatically change the description of a scheduled workflow. This seems like it should be doable, but so far no luck. If anyone has any idea's, either through java, or maybe via other means like the rest api, please let me know

Re: Limiting Snapshots on vCenter Level
You can use something like SovLabs Snapshot Module to give fine-grained control over snapshot abilities.
↧
Re: Accidently deleted one or to .vmdk files
The huge disk usage was caused by keeping multiple snapshots for a long time. Each of these snapshots can theoretically grow up to the provisioned size of the VM's virtual disk.
Best practice is to keep snapshots only as long as needed. Rather than keeping snapshots, consider to backup the VM's folder/files from time to time.
In this case the VM had "Auto Protect" enabled. This feature automatically creates snapshots, which IMO is only a good idea if the user is well aware of the impact. Btw. I've disabled "Auto Protect" (unless I missed a setting) in the VM's configuration (.vmx) file that I provided earlier.

can I work on server during PV?
I have a Windows 2012 R2 file server with about 2TB plus of data on it. My question is... can users work on the server during the virtualization process?
↧
Re: can I work on server during PV?
They can, but you will need to instruct them to save and close all open files/work on this server before the final synchronization begins and then not to attempt to work again until it's been brought up as a VM. It is no fun task to hunt and peck around a physical file server after it has been P2Vd to identify and manually move changed files.
↧
Re: can I work on server during PV?
Hello markp56038,
Welcome to Communities.
What are you using to perform this P2V?
Most modern applications used to perform this have some form of 'final sync' option that can be performed.
Though even with this, I would agree with daphnissov that save+quit is the sensible thing to do to ensure currency.

Re: Unable to open file "/Users/NT-Technics/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 10 x64.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk.vmdk": What to do?
The command you posted seems to be for another VM (XP rather than WIn10).
Anyway, assuming that the issues is with the Windows 10 VM, open the "Virtual Disk.vmdk" in a text editor to see whether all of the "...-s###.vmdk" files which are listed in this file exist.

Re: Wrong error "vMotion is not enabled on the host"
If this occurs only in one VM, then try to re-register it, i.e. remove from inventory and add again.

Re: 7.1 to 7.4
Actually i did the same for all upgrades.
If something goes wrong and troubleshooting takes too long it is easier just to roll back to snapshot in powered off (clean shutdown) state and bring the systems back online (with SQL DB restore first)
upgraded 7.0.2->7.2->7.3->7.4 "so far no issues "
Probably cannot do that if availability is a concern but if there is window where the systems are not in use then that is when to do it.
