Is there a way to order the resources in a Generic Scoreboard - preferably alphabetically?
I'm displaying several different cluster resource metrics in several scoreboard widgets in one dashboard.
From widget to widget, the resources are in the same order, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the order of resources within the widget.
It's not alpha, it's not creation date, it's not the metric value, it's not host or vm count.
Thanks
Hello PhilBishop,
Welcome at the VMware communities forum.
Today VMware released a new version of VMware Workstation.
VMware Workstation 10.0.2 Release Notes
Download here:
Download VMware Workstation 10.0
I would first suggest to update to that version.
If that doesn't help let us know.

It's actually less complex so you should try it. I don't know when I'll have time to provide a new sample.
Thanks LeoWang18. These are the steps that I have done. I'm using the Mac settings to automatically change time zone and date. I have reinstalled the VMware tools once already and have unchecked and re-checked the sync box. Hmm. Not sure what the issue is then. Besides VMware Tools, any settings inside the Windows portion of VM that would need to change?
Not sure if the host is part of vCenter but you can use host profiles to reset if it is connected. Great bolg post with pics, Lost Your ESXi Root Password? Reset It with Host Profiles!
The big thing with the "shared" disks in MSCS clusters on vSphere is that you need to use a second SCSI controller. So if your OS disk is on SCSI 0:0 then you need to create a SCSI 1:0 on each VM for the shared disks to communicate on. This is on page 13 of the document. You can use VMDK's as long as they are from a FC connected datastore or you can use RDMs in virtual or physical mode. Also, when I create a MSCS clusters in vSphere I like to put the shared disks in a separate folder named something descriptive to make it obvious that those disks are shared and that folder isn't a VM.
Observation: It definitely take considerable longer in VMware Fusion 6.0.3 then previously for the ability to change screen resolution. In other words, when OS X 10.9.0.2 Guest loads to the Desktop it can take ~30 or longer before auto-change resolution to be available upon resizing the Virtual Machine Display.
That said, also make sure that you have two vmware-tools-daemon processes running in Activity Monitor, one for the User and the other for root. If the one for root is not loaded then auto-change resolution upon resizing the Virtual Machine Display will not work.

Version 0.0.0 is a sign that the MANIFEST is missing in the deployed jar for that bundle (the default version is set to 1.0.0 in MANIFEST.MF)
Usually this means that the Eclipse or STS build wasn't clean. The work-around is to do "Project > Clean" and force a redeploy for that bundle. The Java console must show that version 1.0.0 was deployed. You can also see that in the full Virgo log.
Sorry for the belated reply and thank you for your info. Yes it looks like I'll have to try the demo. I was hoping someone could give me the definitive "yea" or "nay" before I took the time to download, install and configure everything. No big deal, all I have to lose is a little time and perhaps I'll find another use for Fusion if it doesn't work for this particular application. Perhaps you can answer just the general question of whether two-way communication via Bluetooth is possible at all using Fusion? Thanks again.
Hi Geoff,
Seems email notifications is broken, so my reply is a bit late.
Umm.. well it depends.
If your host is a laptop kind of device and has gyro and other sensors in it, then in Workstation 9.x those will not be passed on to the VM. So in that respect the guest VM will not rotate by itself as it is unaware of how the host is positioned.
OTOH if you want to rotate permanently because the screen is in the wrong position then I would expect that to be possible, either by a functionality in Android itself or by instructing VMware Workstation to rotate the screen.
The functionality in Android depends on the screen driver it is using, unfortunately I haven't played with a virtualised Android VM in 2 years so can't help there atm. I'm not sure that the driver used in your VM is advanced enough for rotation functionality. The VM will not see your nvidia card (and can't see it as graphics is offered via a virtualised device)
AFAIK there is not a screen rotate function for that in Workstation user interface and after a bit of a search at possible options it seems there is no such option in the configuration files either.
From the looks of it, the only option you would have for rotation is to rotate the screen at host level (in windows 8.1) Usually you can setup a shortcut key for that in the host OS.
Not sure if that helps for your issue.

Hi Mauro,
it's a fresh install or agent upgrade?
Did you check installation path if it's correct/exist "C:\Windows\CMAgent\Installer\Packages\EcmInstallSimpleInstaller6_0.exe" ?
- any folder redirection policy on the server?
- verify if system variables are correct
You can also try manual installation of agent via .msi package.
Try install agent via msiexec with verbose logging "msiexec /i CMAgent[version].msi /L*v install.log", from this log we can get more detailed info...
Log can be analyzed with Windows Installer Log Analyzer:
Or enable MSI verbose logging on the system: (DONT forget to turn it off after troubleshooting:)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmupx
and check Msi*.log in %temp% folder ...
Regards,
Petr
You can still use portlets in Web Client 5.5 and in the upcoming 6.0 version, so there is no urgency to change that if you already built your page.
We marked it deprecated as an early warning because portlets will be redesigned in a future version post 6.0.
You own in the entire summary page of your custom objects, it doesn't need to include portlets like the current vSphere summary pages.
First off you have to understand I just inherited a Oracle OVM environment. I am more of a VMware ESXi guy so I know how ESXi operates. I was recently told (yesterday) that we do not have a backup and restore solution in place for the Oracle environment, so this includes the Oracle OVM manager environment, several production and non-production VMs as well as our Oracle OEM environment which is currently configured as an Oracle VM. I have already opened a ticket with Oracle for a real "Certified" Oracle backup software solution, but so far this request has fallen on deaf ears.
From what I can see, Oracle Virtual Manager (OVM) is based on the older RHEL-like Xen format (with some unique naming nomenclatures) for virtual machine (VM) and disk allocation. As seen below, this is an example of what a current Oracle VM configuration looks like and how convoluted it is for figuring out where everything resides. If you notice the disk images are NOT named in any way back to the actual VM image (i.e. myserver.xvda), but more of a UUID format. Oracle's version of Xen is just plain out nasty.
So my question: Is there a way under VMware Converter to change a Oracle VM format into an OVF/OVA without having to do the old intermediary Virtual Box conversion steps (i.e. How do I convert VirtualBox files to work with VMWare Workstation? - TechRepublic)?

Hello guys. I am trying to create an automation script to clone and export my VMs as OVA format, using New-VM and Export-Vapp cmdlets. It works fine, except that I am using on both cmdlets the -RunAsync switch, that way I run more than one task at time.
On the script logic, I keep track of the TASK ID in a hashtable for each of the New-VM and Export-Vapp commands, that way I can figure out when one task, for example, cloning a VM finishes, and starting an Export-Vapp as soon as the clone completes.
When running New-VM -RunAsync switch, it does return the TASK ID like "Task-task-337834", but when running Export-Vapp with the -RunAsync switch, it returns the TASK ID like "a2a25670-314f-4b40-8eeb-25a0898e0099", so I can't figure out when one Export task has finished. I need that information, because I am limiting the Jobs to a certain concurrent job limit.
To clarify, try the following command:
PS C:\> $task = (Export-Vapp -Name "vm1" -VM "vm1-clone" -Destination "F:\" -Format Ova -ErrorAction Stop -RunAsync)
PS C:\> $task

How do I get the TASK ID like "Task-task-337834" when running the Export-Vapp cmdlet?
When running the New-VM it does return the TASK ID successfully:

I tried both PowerCLI version 5.1 and now 5.5 R2, same result.
Upgrading solved my beeping issue. Thanks!!!!!

This is the correct way to get all of the VMs from a particular resource pool.
Thanks for your help! I confirmed that there is a vmware-tools-daemon running as root.
Unfortunately, even after manually un- and reinstalling VMWare Fusion and manually uninstalling VMWare tools in the Mac OS X guest, the problem still persists...
I have been having the same problem.
I have two environments in one this configuration works and in the other the configuration doesn't work.
I took a tcpdump and all the kerberos request including the KBR5 and KPASS protocol, which is the protocol in kerberos that change the password are getting from the client to the AD server. So this problem is not an issue of Firewall blocking ports, I am very close but I think the error is coming from the Vmware horizon view client.
Is there a configuration in vmware view that allow/block users from changing passwords?

Попробовал установить клиента на 7-ке -- полёт нормальный конектится и работает. Хотя клиент поставился только на 1 машине из 3-х 7-рок что я пробовал... причём без явных сообщений об ошибке... не всё так гладко как хотелось бы...
Но вопрос точно решён.
Get the Flex stack trace next time it happens. Either in the error dialog itself or in the Flex log.
