Question about 4k displays and the 'cycle multiple monitors' option

0
0

Hi,

- I recently updated my physical workstation/host to a 4k capable system; it's a dual monitor system.

- I'm also running VMWare workstation 12.5 build 4352439

-The guest OS in question is windows 10 pro (as is the physical workstation)

 

Before I updated the system to 4k I would routinely use the 'cycle multiple monitors' option to extend the display.

I've noticed now when I try that the screen in the guest OS goes blank and the cursor flickers like its having a seizure.

 

Am I supposed to be able to still use this feature with a 4k system? Is anyone else doing this by chance?

I should say that with the guest OS on a single monitor it seems to work/look fine.

 

Any help appreciated


Re: NFS without vmkernel ip

Assuming that you will have a dedicated VLAN (and subnet) for management and NFS traffic, it will always a good idea have a dedicated VMkernel port for the NFS traffic, even if management and NFS share the same physical uplinks.

 

The following blog post explain some reasons why to have a dedicated VMkernel port: The Necessity for NFS VMkernel Ports Explained - Wahl Network

Upgrading VMWare Tools from 10.0.7 to 10.0.10

0
0

Hello there!! I currently run a variation of Ubuntu as a guest and the host is Win10. 

 

I chose

 

Player > Manage > Update VMWare tools

 

and the CD ROM was mounted and I found the latest VMWare Tools in .tar.gz format

 

I decompressed it and ran the ./vmware-install.pl under the root account inside my Linux and I kept click on [yes] and I read "installed successfully"

 

but when I restarted my VMWare and checked the version by giving the command

 

vmware-toolbox-cmd -v

 

It still reads 10.0.7

 

What am I doing wrong? 

 

Thanks a lot! 

4kn или 512e диски в iSCSI и FC сториджах

0
0

Товарищи, подскажите возможно ли использование дисков с размером блока в 4k, или 512е в полках которые представлены VMware через FC или iSCSI.

Согласно http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2091600Vmware не поддерживает такие диски в локальных сториджах.

По сути все зависит конечно от контроллера, который может или не может представить volume/pool с размером блока в 512.

Мы планируем приобрести полку HPE MSA 2040 на дисках K2Q82A (HP MSA 4TB 12G SAS 7.2K LFF (3.5in) 512e Midline 1yr Warranty Hard Drive)

Use of 4kn or 512e drives in iSCSI and FC storage

0
0

Guys, could any one tell if it is possible to use storage with drives which block size is 4k, or 512e  in VMware thrue FC or iSCSI.

According http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2091600Vmware is not supporting such disks in local storage.

Well in most cases it depends on controller which can or can not create volume/pool with block size 512.

I`am planning to use HPE MSA 2040 on K2Q82A drives (HP MSA 4TB 12G SAS 7.2K LFF (3.5in) 512e Midline 1yr Warranty Hard Drive)

Re: Fix / Ideas for Display Corruption under Windows 10 with Fusion 8.5?

Rick,

 

Thanks for your continued interest and input.  I had some great support from VMware when I put in a service request - they spent a few hours with remote access to my Macs to see the issue and explore different options.  This included, clean Windows 10 64 bit install,  turning clear type on and off, scaling fonts, changing a variety of VMware settings etc.  The only two things that resolved the issue on both my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro was turning of 3D graphics acceleration in wither VMware settings or just in specific applications (so far EDGE and Google Chrome) where the problem occurs.

 

Its apparently some compatibility issue that occurs with 3D graphics acceleration and specific applications under Windows 10 on certain Macs with Intel Graphics.  Both my Macs have similar generation Intel i5 - hence both having the issue.  VMware support were very helpful, spent quite a few hours on the phone and with remote access and really explored the issue well.  A senior engineer in the support team advised that this had been seen on a number of Macs in the VMware community's and in support - for example Windows 10 and Excel and 3D graphics had issues for some customers - also requiring hardware graphics acceleration to be turned off.  The support team were not were not aware of any plans to fix the issue at their end with a patch - but hey maybe it will happen some day.  In the mean time I am happy to live with turning off the 3D acceleration in specific apps and will retest the whole issue with upgrades to OS-X, Windows and VMware in the hope that a change eventually happens so that this tailoring of 3D graphics is not required.

 

So, I will close this issue now.  But if anyone else has checkerboard patterns or areas of grey blurring in fonts on applications under Windows 10 - consider turning the hardware graphics acceleration off too.

 

Cheers

Recover Filestore/VM from corrupted ESXi Install?

0
0

My setup:   Windows7, running Workstation 12, hosting ESXi 6 (as a VM), installed on a dedicated SSD drive, including the filestore.

 

The problem:  A partition manager corrupted the partition table on the SSD drive, and now I can't boot the ESXi VM within workstation.    It gives the error "BANK6:  Not a VMware Boot Bank".

 

According to my googling, this kind of partition corruption is not easily resolved, and that's ok.   I'd just like to recover a couple of VMs from the filestore.

 

Is there any way I could mount the offline filestore, and recover my VM files?    The next step would be to rebuild my ESXI VM, or just import them into workstation - Doesn't matter, and I'm happy either way.

 

Any guidance appreciated.

Look into your Thinapp project directory and look if you see folder called "%drive_C%". Check file in this directory called "##Attributes.ini" and let us know what's its content.

I would run Process Monitor (download it from Internet) and look where your virtualized Outlook tries to access without success.

That's correct. Citrix Receiver installs drivers and there for it cannot be thinapped.

Re: I am looking for instruction in setting smtp and email notification in vcenter esx 5.5

You are right, that's unfortunately the case (see https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2063147). SMTP authentication is currently not supported, so you need to workaround this if you don't have your own email server in place. There are some guides on the Internet for such workarounds, see e.g. https://paulgrevink.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/configuring-vcenter-for-email-with-smtp-authentication/

PS: For alarms which offer to trigger a script, it might also be an option to send an email by the script.

question for users with vCloud Networking and Security for vShield Endpoint

0
0

Due to vCloud Networking and Security going EOL in March we're in a bit of a bind in dealing with vShield Endpoint.  We have no desire to implement NSX just for this feature so we're looking for alternatives and I was wondering how others were dealing with vShield Endpoint.  We currently use Trend Micro Deep Security within our VDI environment and were expecting to expand beyond into our server area.  Since vCloud Networking and Security is going away we're looking into utilizing the Deep Security Agent and install on each VM.  Not ideal, but better than having a full AV client.

 

Thanks,

For shared storage it's the HBA (in case of a physical HBA) and the storage system which needs to be supported.

The KB article actually contains the answer to your question.

This article applies to both HDD and SSD Direct attached drives. This does not apply to external storage arrays as long as LUNs presented to ESXi initiators use 512 logical sector size (READ_CAPACITY should report 512 logical block).

Re: Identity Manager 2.7 and Access Point 2.7, cannot login

Well I managed to get around the issue by deploying additional Access Points just for Identity Manager, I don't think it plays well trying to use a single Access Point for both View and Identity Manager.

 

Here is what I ended up using and so far so good and remember the admin functions won't work externally!

Crashing Workstation Pro 12.5.0-4352439

Hi

 

I updated Workstation Pro to the version 12.5.0-4352439 on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit.

 

When I use any VM or when creating a VM, Workstation Pro crashes and slow down the computer enormously.

 

So, I attach the VMX error message and the logs of the VM that I was creating.

 

Thanks

 

Bye
