Re: Editor with Syntax Highlighting


Display goes to sleep rapidly

0
0

I recently upgraded to Fusion 8.5.3 and use a Windows 10 platform in full screen on an external monitor. No matter what I do to set the display sleep time in the Power settings, it seems to go to sleep after 5min, whether on battery or plugged in. Any thoughts on how I can extend this? Not critical, but it's rather irritating. Thanks.

Re: OVF deplyment - cancled by user

Before creating an OVA file, in vSphere right click on the VM, open Settings, click on CD/DVD drive, check if Device Type is selected as Datastore ISO. If so, select Client Device. Save settings by clicking OK. Export OVA file, and then deploy.

 

i change the CD-DVD ISO path to local device and export again in OVA format. After the Import was OK in vSphere 5.1.

 

Thanks, HwyHobo! Thanks, VIMSupport!

 

That fixed the problem PERFECTLY! 

Error While opening: internal error in only one VM

Hello,

I was using a virtual machine then I suspended it. Now I'm trying to use it again and it keeps showing this error.

The others virtual machines I have doesn't returns this error.

Some things I've tried already and didn't work:

- Rename the vmplayer.exe file;

- Restart vmware services;

- Restart windows management instrumentation service;

- Tried to delete .lck file (couldn't find it inside the folder);

 

Someone has any other suggestion for me to try?

 

Thanks

Or your other option is to deploy 2 vRO's, using llian's models (one for vCenter and one for vRA) and then synchronize them using the Multi-node plugin.

Hi,

 

From ESXi Shell, you can still modify firewall ruleset on ESXi host with esxcli command. Please check following VMware KB article for the details.

Attached screen shot for the same.

 

And I did fresh deployment of VRO 7.1.0.

Dear Gents!

 

I have annoying problem.

 

Once I want to start VM with CentOS I am getting error OS not found.

 

Also I have checked hints at pages bellow (like CD-ROOM connected ON etc).

 

There is one advice which I can not find about some delay during boot.

 

Any advice is welcomed!

 

 

Regards

Re: Deploying a Template from CSV File With Other Settings

After the instructions from  New-VM cmdlet is passed to the vSphere server, this server will take some time to clone the new VM from the template.

You should be able to determine the duration of this actions from the Task and Events page.

 

Waiting for 4 minutes is indeed 'sleep 240'.

Can you add some debugging (Write-Host) before and after the sleep line, just to verify that the completion of the cloning process is completed within those 4 minutes?

 

You can also add a Get-VM to check the status of the newly created VM, before you do the Set-VM

 

But is the error appearing for the New-VM or the Set-VM cmdlet?

If it is the New-VM cmdlet, one fo the ESXi nodes might not be in the correct state.

Are all ESXi nodes shoing as Connected when you do a Get-VMHost?

Re: Where was VM hosted before it was moved to current VMHost ???

You would first need to "get" the VM ebfore chekcing the powerstate, and then power on the ones that aren't.

Something like this

 

Get-VM*DC0*|Where-Object {$_.powerstate -eq‘PoweredOff’} |Start-VM|Wait-Tools
