Hello
thanks for your quick response.
For thre first hop we are using Horizon Client, the second hop is done by normal MS RDP.
Unfortunately the mentioned REG-Key does not exist below Policies-Key.
I may try creating them ....
Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,
we have same issue since updating our vcenters from 6.7U2 up to 6.7U3f.
Does anybody opened an issue ticket for vmware to investigate this?
best regards
HI All,
When i'm trying to run the vCheck as batch file, but it still promoting for credential though i have stored the credential using the command.
New-VICredentialStoreItem -Host USvc1 -User domain\myvmk -Password Password@123
Thanks

i need to know the way to delete data store from Vc data center. i try to right click and delete data store but the option became invisible.. any suggestion how to remove it.??
it tried to add host which using same data store giving error msg..
How did you configure the vCenter in 00 Connection Plugin for vCenter.ps1 ?
Is there a line with $Server?
Did you assign the same value as you used on the Host parameter in the New-VICredentialStoreItem?
Thank you! It turned out that one of the VMKernel NICs had under Services enabled vMotion. Each host has two and on all it should be only Management, but on this one all the checkboxes were checked when created.
P.S. I just never though/expected that by allowing certain action to be performed over a vmkernel nic will actually "enable". That was a mistake on our side during configuration. Nice to know!
LucD,
Just to brief more on this. As i mentioned in earlier thread, i'm trying to pull the VM list deleted and created from last 5 days. I have disabled all other plugin using select plugin.
I can run the vcheck manually and it send me mail for VM deleted andcreated.
Now coming to your questions:-
How did you configure the vCenter in 00 Connection Plugin for vCenter.ps1 ?
Is there a line with $Server? Yes, please see screen shot above.
Did you assign the same value as you used on the Host parameter in the New-VICredentialStoreItem? yes, Hope you mean same value as vcenter name as host.
Thanks

We have registered a BASE API in NSX Manager and looking to get a notification via callback REST API calls from NSX Manager to our server. Can someone share with us the documentation about these callback API?
One of the callback API is this "/vmware/2.0/si/serviceinstance/". we are trying to find the documentation which contains these API details.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure you create the snapshot of the VCSA VM while it is powered down. Don't snapshot it while it's running! There are several databases running in there who will likely have "application inconsistency" problems when restored from Snapshot.
This applies to all systems running a database of some sort, unless that database is supported with Microsoft VSS (like AD, Exchange, SQL and some non-microsoft DB's)
From what you shared it looks as if you used the 'short' hostname of the vCenter on the New-VICredentialStoreItem and the FQDN in the plugin.
You have to either use the short name or the FQDN on both.
Please use below script to get depoy the VM from content library after adding the vapi end point in vmware orachestrator.
input & out put parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
| datastore | VC:Datastore | The datastore to deploy to |
| endpoint | VAPI:VAPIEndpoint | The VAPI endpoint to use |
| folder | VC:VmFolder | The folder to deploy to |
| host | VC:HostSystem | The target host for deployment |
| hostname | string | Name of the new VM |
| ovfLibraryItemId | string | id of the content library item |
| respool | VC:ResourcePool | Resource pool to deploy to |
vmObject VC:VirtualMachine VM created details

Very sad news, I am sticking with Windows 7 as my daily driver for the foreseeable future (5-8 more years), as are millions of other users. Good to know however, to preserve my precious last 15.x version...
Hi LucD,
You might be right but i used FQDN both the places and now i tried to remove the credential so that i can use new host as FQDN
Thanks

Hi
VMware has not released this paper's new version since 2012 - https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/techpaper/storage_protocol_comparison-white-paper.pdf
I went though some old post & got sense from all that NFS is better for below reasons
1. Easy Setup
2. Easy to expand
3. UNMAP is advantage on iSCSI
4. VMFS is quite fragile if you use Thin provisioned VMDKs. A single powerfailure can render a VMFS-volume unrecoverable.
5. NFS datastores immediately show the benefits of storage efficiency (deduplication, compresson, thin provisioning) from both the NetApp and vSphere perspectives
6. Netapp specific : The NetApp NFS Plug-In for VMware is a plug-in for ESXi hosts that allows them to use VAAI features with NFS datastores on ONTAP
7. Netapp specific : NFS has autogrow
8. When using NFS datastores, space is reclaimed immediately when a VM is deleted
9. Performance is almost identical
Please list out if i miss anything & share comments
Thanks
It's necessary to hide the 'outside' (non-virtual) IP address, i.e. the one that your ISP assigns to your host and of course your physical network card's MAC address.
I set hwsrc to indication in the snmp settings on ESXi 6.7 and 7.0. However, snmp traps weren't send to a snmp manager. I was able to send a test trap by running the following the command.
# esxcli system snmp test
Therefore, I think that the indication has not been notified. Is there any setting that enables Indication?
Yes Its Sorted, We have to make Host File Entry in Appliance then it proceeds.
Short info:
The missing infos in the Summary tab was a rights issue, when logged in with the administrator@vsphere.local user this infos are shown:
I'm running Fusion 11.5.3 on MacOS Catalina. When I switch focus from the host os to a guest os, the USB keyboard I'm using is not recognized by the guest until I unplug it and plug it back in. Switching focus back to the host does not restore the keyboard. I have to unplug it and plug it back in. I've ready a bunch of the threads here that one finds when searching on this problem and tried many of the fixes, none have helped.
Anyone have new ideas?
I've tried creating new keyboard profiles in VMWare. No joy.
I've checked that the VMs are not set to share USB devices with Windows. No joy.
VMWare is allowed to control my computer under Security & Privacy's Accessibility settings. No joy.
What else can I try?
For background, this was a Catalina upgrade. Followed by an upgrade of Fusion.
I have set up an NFS storage cluster across two Linux machines with DRBD syncing data and Heartbeat controlling a shared VIP and NFS server. This setup has been tested in multiple environments, including as KVM storage, but this configuration fails to work as a datastore for an ESXi host. The ESXi host will mount the starting node on which the NFS server is running (both nodes A and B work). When I simulate a failover and the VIP and NFS server get reattached to the secondary node however, the mount becomes greyed out and won't remount onto the second NFS server. The only way of removing the datastore is to do a full reboot of the host. Logs are below showing what the host sees as happening when there is a disconnection from Node A:
2020-05-21T14:00:07.031Z: [vmfsCorrelator] 68314582298us: [vob.vmfs.nfs.server.disconnect] Lost connection to the server 192.168.X.X mount point nfs7,
mounted as d11f0a83-92231881-0000-000000000000 ("/nfssrv7")
2020-05-21T14:00:07.031Z: [APDCorrelator] 68318122525us: [esx.problem.storage.apd.start] Device or filesystem with identifier [d11f0a83-92231881-0000-
000000000000] has entered the All Paths Down state.
When the host is initially connected to the Node B and disconnects, the error messages are the exact same except the "filesystem identifier" is different (5f29bda0-173a3be1-0000-000000000000). I have checked and these identifiers remain the same when reconnecting the nodes, which proves that it is able to distinguish between the two servers and remember which is which. The NFS servers are designed to be impossible to differentiate for an NFS client, yet ESXi obviously does so. It is my impression that if those IDs are the same, the failover would be successful, but I haven't been able a way to do this. Is anyone aware of how ESXi generates the filesystem identifier for an NFS server, how to change the identifier for an NFS mount, or allow ESXi to ignore the identifier when remounting?
