Re: 'Error caused by file [File path].vmdk' When trying to clone, migrate, backup, copy

Hello

 

This is the problem on your ESXI host where your VM is running on. To isolate issue, do vMotion to other host and retry one of those task on this machine.

 

I got this issue few days back when I was enabling HA on VCSA, cloning of VCSA VM was failing with same error as you mentioned, logged a case with VMware results no help. This host also gave other smaller errors for normal operations such increasing/decreasing resources which made me doubt on ESXI host itself. I vmotioned 2 VMs to another host then was able to clone successfully.

 

Try this if it works.

Re: Linux Host/Windows 10 Pro 64 Guest - Bad Audio?

I can't get the sound to work properly because windows 10 will not allow me to use the supplied vmware driver.   It either says it's incompatible or smugly states the microsoft driver is better.  Neither updating the driver or deleting it and adding a new sound device seems to work.  Windows refuses the vmware driver.

 

I also commented out the line,

sound.virtualDev = "hdaudio",

 

I wonder if this has anything to do with the spring 2018 windows 10 update.

Upgraded to Workstation Pro 14 - Virtual Machine will not restart

Hello,

 

I have an old processor and was using Workstation Pro 12 and everything was working fine.

 

My virtual machine was in a suspended state.

 

I upgraded it to Workstation Pro 14.

 

Now Workstation Pro 14 will not resume my suspended state and gives an error:

 

I get something similar to this error (I just have Windows 8):

 

2017-10-02_16-04-59.jpg

I tried to reinstall Workstation Pro 12 but the software told me:

 

"This product installer does not support downgrades."

 

So my question is:

 

My virtual machine is in a suspended state.

 

Can I uninstall Workstation Pro 14 completely, re-install Workstation Pro 12, and will the suspended state of the Virtual Machine be lost and can it be retrieved at all ?

 

Will the uninstall of 14 be clean, so that I dont get the: "This product installer does not support downgrades." error again when I try to install 12 ?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ESXi 6.5 u1 vlan assignment issues when virt has more than 3 NICs

May 8, 2018, 10:46 pm

I'm running a student version of ESXi 6.5 u1 that is essentially the enterprise plus version, but limited to only 1 vhost and no license for vCenter.

 

I'm having issues with a virtual appliance that has 4 virtual NIC's installed. The vHost is connected to my physical switch with a trunk port that allows all configured VLAN's to traverse the trunk. In the virtual appliance, two NIC's are connected to the same VLAN and the last 2 are connected to different VLAN's for a total of 3 VLANS. When I look a the vswitch view and each VLAN, I see 2 connections in each of the 3 VLAN's and they are the same MAC address of the first two NIC's in the appliance, the last two do not show up at all.  If I delete 2 NIC's, the two remaining show in each assigned VLAN as expected. If I add 1 NIC for a total of 3, I get the same behavior. This is not just showing incorrectly, the virtual appliance is also not working as expected in each VLAN.  Thought this might just be the appliance having issues so tried an Ubuntu server VM that I created that already had 2 NIC's. When I added the third NIC, it exhibited the same issues.

 

Troubleshooting:

I have rebooted the appliance and the vhost several times, deleted and re-added the NIC's in various stages to isolate when the issue shows up, tried to upgrade to ESXi 6.7, but my vhost is not compatible with 6.7, reinstalled 6.5 with no difference in behavior and attempted to downgrade. Since a downgrade requires a complete reinstall, I've decided to ask here for options. Any suggestions that require a vCenter server is not an option since my license does not include that. That also means that I am not able to use the software update services unless there's a way to install an update manually (or it doesn't require vCenter Server), but then I'd also have to be able to download the update package(s).


This appears to be a bug in 6.5, but am hoping it's not and there's a fix for it. Any suggestions?

Rohitsa,

 

You're over complicating the issue. I have a vHost with 2 NIC's that are connected to the same vSwitch. The vSwitch is the basic one since I'm using the free version of ESXi. Both NIC's are configured as vlan trunk ports on my physical switch. I have several port groups set up on the vSwitch that I can assign to the virtual NIC within each virtual machine. Each port group is assigned to only one vlan.

 

The visual issue is that when I assigned the VM to more than one port group, the first two NIC's would show up in all assigned port groups when looking at the vSwitch view. Any additional NIC's would not show up at all, on any port group regardless of assignment. According to a.p. this is only a visual issue and the assignments are made correctly and just don't appear correctly.

Mouse Not Behaving Normal After disabling high dpi scaling in Host

Hello everyone,

 

I am using VMware workstation 14 on a windows 10 4k resolution PC. Text sizes in programs that I use in the client are really small even though I increased the DPI in the client. So I read some of the topics in the forum and selected disabling high dpi scaling and selected system (advanced) in the settings. It worked with the resolution and everything but mouse started to misbehave. Mouse is really small and left click is working like click and drag also location is not right. So I read some topics again and someone with the same problem said I should reinstall the mouse drivers. But the location that they mentioned didn’t had the mouse driver in my client and reinstalling the vmtools not working. Waiting for the solution.

 

Best regards.

 

Host PC: Windows 10 x64

Client PC: Windows 7 x64

Resolution: 4K

Hi, this is something I lost my respect to VMWare and Microsoft to.

But I found the resolution.

It works when you have installed Workstation, not Player, but I undrestand you have Workstation.

So: if you need bridged connection, simply: remove all others: VMnet1 and VMnet8. Leave VMnet0 and... voila!

Now I am looking for resolution in Player, not Workstation, but I am enormously less stressed

Good Luck!

I wonder: why everybody responds with vmnet config from Workstation while we have problem with Player?

Is it so hard to understand what is written?

 

So: how to install VMnic0 that is not being installed by Player, but is being installed by Workstation?

certAccept.html and wss://domain.com:22443/vauth=**) Errors connecting w/ View Agent Direct-Connection HTML Access

Issue 1:

I get these 404 errors in the browser after logging in through HTML Access View Agent Direct-Connection (VADC) and attempting to launch the machine

 

Request URL:

 

wss://mydomain.mydomain.com:22443/d/2E365398-5CBF-4FBB-2424-4242424242/?vauth=klsjdflsjadflakjsdflslkdfjlskjdf

 

Presumably this has to do with passing websockets, can anyone please point me in the right direction for configuring reverse proxies/load balancers to work properly with VADC for HTML Access? I tried implementing some solutions on stackoverflow, but I don't know enough about NGINX, websockets and vmware to know how to implement what I suspect has to do with upstreams. Anyone have anything I can try regarding NGINX reverse proxies and websockets for reverse proxying directly to the vms for View Agent Direct-Connection with HTML Access?

 

Issue 2:

 

Just after this vauth GET request that results in a 404 error, it attempts to bring me to the following page: https://mydomain.com:22443/d/34534-E3453453453548/certAccept.html?numPages=1

I download the vcsa's isofile and unzip it in a dir.Then I ran the installer.exe in a dir(vcsa-ui-installer\win32\).Following is some photoes of the several install processes.I dont know if they are the ones you want.

I have been thinking the reason of the error of the installation.Is the hardware too old that vcsa dont support?Is the memory too small(8G)?Must the dns be setup priority before vcsa installation?

The Workstation Player freezes periodically on Linux host with the kernel 4.15.* and later.

Hi,

I have problem with the Player since I installed the kernel 4.15 on my host.

Host: Notebook Samsung RV511, Fedora 28 x64 (earlier 27), kernel 4.15, 4.16, 4.17

Player: VMware-Player-14.1.1-7528167.x86_64.bundle

Guest: Fedora 27 , Windows 7

Problem:

When I start the guest, I can work well only few minutes.

Then the guest hangs for about 10-20 seconds, then the guest become responsive only for 1-5 seconds and again freezes

An again, and again….

It is well visible when I try to move a window with a mouse – window is moving only inch or two and then the guest freezes.

This started after I installed kernel 4.15 in January 2018 on my host.

Now, on kernel 4.17 the error still exists.

I have to use old kernel 4.14.18 no my host – the guest works perfectly for that kernel.

The problem also exists on a Debian host with kernel 4.15, and Linux and Windows guests.

Anybody can help?

In a previous reply I posted the five files that I need along with their sizes (left to the month column).

I understand that you don't want to disclose data, and that's absolutely ok. However, these 5 files do not contain user data, but are required to find out whether your issue can be solved.

Hello wonderingmind,

 

Yes, the solution is to uninstall workstation 14 prior to installing Workstation 12.

I suggest to reboot after that, just to make sure that any lingering binaries from workstation 14 are removed.

 

Then re-install workstation 12 and your VMs should work again.

What do you mean with "it won't install correct".

 

Is there an error message, does something not work?

Is this the same guest as the one you cannot "clean"?

Re: Why thin provisioned VM has full size on physical disk?

/vmfs/volumes/fce81637-c1fff466 # du -h lv-win2016test/*.vmdk

16.0K   lv-win2016test/lv-win2016test-flat.vmdk

4.0K    lv-win2016test/lv-win2016test.vmdk

17.6G   lv-win2016test/lv-win2016test_1-flat.vmdk

4.0K    lv-win2016test/lv-win2016test_1.vmdk

That's the space that's consumed on the datastore.

Thin provisioning on a VMFS datastore is file system feature, i.e. not like sparse files as they are used in e.g. VMware Player, or Workstation. Tool which do not support this feature will "see" a full provisioned file. Any previously unused data block is internally referred to by a NULL pointer, and an application, or tool - which isn't aware of this - reading such a data block will receive zeroes as the response.

On native Linux file systems the tar command has an option to handle sparse files, but that's unfortunately not available for VMFS file systems (at least I'm not aware of it). In order to transfer virtual disks from one host to another with maintaining thin provisioning you'll need to use tools which support thin provisioning. This can be achieved by e.g. using export/import as OFV, using the ovftool to copy virtual machines directly from one host to another (see e.g. https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/06/how-to-copy-vms-directly-between-esxi.html), or by using a backup application which supports this

I don't understand lv-win2016test_1-flat.vmdk which has "_1" and "-flat", how was it created?

By default, virtual disks are named <vmname>.vmdk for the first one, <vmname>_1.vmdk for the second one, ...

In this case it looks like someone created a virtual machine, then removed the first virtual disk from the configuration without deleting it from the disk, and then created another virtual disk. I'm pretty sure that lv-win2016test.vmdk isn't used, because its flat.vmdk file still has the initial size of 16kB. To find out about this, check the VM's configuration (.vmx) file, and/or the VM's latest vmware.log file to see whether this file is referenced. Alernatively you may run RVTools (https://www.robware.net/rvtools/) which reports unused files as Zombies in its vHealth tab.
