Re: NSX rule to represent internet traffic

If your policy has a default deny rule, you can do it in a single rule.

Create a Security Group or IP Set that contains all your "internal" networks and use this in the destination of your allow rule, but make sure you negate the rule.

Hi Nickbrandwood

 

Welcome to Fusion Community. Really appreciate for your post.

I will try to reproduce your issue.

 

Could you help me to check the steps:

A. Create A Linux VM and keep is running(not suspended, not power off)

B. Waiting until battery running out

C. Charge the host and invoke the Linux VM

D. Check the boot screen whether need to do the NVRAM retest.

I am having this same issue, but it seems like Fusion locks up and kills the VM then when I try to boot the VM I get this error message. Yes rebooting the host Mac will allow me to boot the VM, but I want to figure out why it is crashing to begin with. Are you having this issue too? Any ideas? I am running Fusion 8.5 and Windows 10 Pro.

HI LucD,

Your script is good when I run it one by one from PowerShell cmd, but sometimes it's OK and sometimes it returns ERROR when I insert them into a loop script, some of them like following:

 

 

     $Cus_Resource = "xxx","cccc","vvvvv"

     $null = Connect-VIServer -server VC_ip -Credential $Credential -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  -WarningAction SilentlyContinue

        if ( $? ) {

            $si = Get-View ServiceInstance -Server $global:DefaultVIServer

            $viewMgr = Get-View -Id $si.Content.ViewManager -Server $global:DefaultVIServer

            for ($i=0; $i -lt $Cus_Resource.Count; $i++) {

            $rpName = $Cus_Resource[$i]

            $Memory = 0

            $CPU = 0

            $Storage = 0

 

            if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($rpName) -eq $false) {

                ## Get VM Info

                    $rp = Get-View -ViewType resourcepool -Property Name -Filter @{'Name'="^$($rpName)$"} -Server $global:DefaultVIServer

                    $contView = $viewMgr.CreateContainerView($rp.MoRef,@('VirtualMachine'),$true)

                    $contViewObj = Get-View -Id $contView

                    $vminfo = Get-View -Id $contViewObj.View -Property Summary.Config.MemorySizeMB, Summary.Config.NumCpu, Summary.Runtime.PowerState

 

                    for ($k=0; $k -lt $vminfo.Count; $k++) {

                        if ( $vminfo.Summary.Runtime.PowerState[$k] -eq "PoweredOn" ) {

                            $Memory = $Memory + $vminfo.Summary.Config.MemorySizeMB[$k]

                            $CPU = $CPU + $vminfo.Summary.Config.NumCpu[$k]

                        }### End if

                    }### End for

         } ### End If

 

  

 

$dt = [pscustomobject]@{

                                ResourcePool = $rpName;

                                CPU = $CPU ;

                                Memory = $Memory / 1024;

                                } |out-Datatable


         } ### End for

   } End if

Disconnect-VIServer -server VC_ip -Confirm:$false



the ERROR is following, looks sometimes $contViewObj.View is invalid , in this loop, if there isn't VM in this ResourcePool, $vminfo will still use last value.

Get-View : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Id'. The argument is null, empty, or an element of the argument

collection contains a null value. Supply a collection that does not contain any null values and then try the command

again.

Could you help?

Automatic Workspace switching in OSX

$
0
0

I am migrating from Parallels to Fusion to better fit in with our deployment stack, and am working out my development machine in the process.

 

One of the nice things I liked with Parallels was the ability for each "Screen" in a vm to correspond to a workspace on each of my physical monitors. For example, I have 3 monitors (2 ext, 1 rMBP) to which I span my work across. I have been able to expand across these monitors no problem, but comes with a small annoyance that interrupts my previous workflow. I used to be able to mix-and-match the screens between VM, and native OSX (or macOS, idk(c) what they are calling now) but now when I focus to my dev vm, all workspaces move to it. I used to have my 2 external monitors for dev work, and my MBP off to one side for things like web pages, and source control, but now have to swipe over every time I want to refer to it.

 

Is there an option/configuration item somewhere to disable this "auto-focus"?

 

I have just filmed a short clip on what I mean. Notice clicking on the middle screen will change the others.

I think there should be some way, may be a third party software that can stop users from running script against the environment, even though they have admin access to the environment.

VCP Portal Error - VCP 6 Foundation + VCP6-DCV Completed

$

0

Hi Admins,

 

 

I completed VCP 6 Foundation exam and also VCP6-DCV exam successfully. Its been almost 15 days.

 

Now to get VCP portal access - Do I still need to attend a VCP course to get the login access ?

 

Upon contacting certification@vmware,com I received the below response:

 

===================================================

As I understand, you are looking for the information on your VCP Portal.

 

I would like to inform you that you are unable to login to your VCP Portal is because your VCP6 certification has not been generated.

 

Please note, you have completed the course for the VCP6-CMA certification and attended the exam for VCP6-DCV certification. Hence, the course and exams does not match. However, if you take VCP6-CMA exam, automatically you will get VCP6-CMA and VCP6-DCV certification.

===================================================

 

 

 

Please advise.

 

 

Regards

I have a setup according to your settings, however can not reproduce the issue. Would you please help me confirm more things?

1) If the guest use NAT mode, is the communication between host and guest fine?

2) Would you please  exchange the bindings of two bridged network. The detail -- bind VMnet0 to the wired adapter and bind VMnet2 to the wireless adatper, then chang the VM's VM Setting to connect the VM's Network adapter to "custom -- VMnet2"

Re: Can I upgrade ESX 5.5 to 6 from the host? From vCenter?

$
0
0

Hi Cliff,

 

I'm assuming you want to update from 5.5 to 6?

 

The host can be upgraded from ESXi 5.5 to ESXi6 using either:

 

  • vSphere Update Manager (vSphere Update Manager Documentation). This would require you to install VUM in your environment (unless you already have it) which is a plugin to vCenter. You can then create a host baseline with the ESXi6 installer and attach it to the host that you would like to upgrade, followed by re mediating the host which will perform the upgrade
  • Upgrade the host using esxcli via SSH (vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center). This just involved uploading the ESXi6 media to a datastore that your 5.5 host has access to, and then you can initiate the upgrade from SSH. The first link is to the official documentation, there are lots of good blog posts out there if you search for 'esxcli esxi upgrade', such as Vladan's (http://www.vladan.fr/easily-upgrade-esxi-5-x-to-the-latest-esxi-5-5-update-1-via-cli/)

 

Hopefully this helps.

 

Cheers, Matt.

Anybody share your support bundle to us will be greatly helpful for us to triage the issue. Even you switch back to the 12.1.1, it will be helpful to know your environment/config info so that we can manage to reproduce it in the same environment.

 

To collect support bundle, there are couple of ways:

1. From Workstation UI: Go to Help -> Support -> Collect Support Data... and upload the support bundle zip file. (If you have any issue to run the UI, you can use method 2)

2. For Workstation Player/Workstation Pro: Go to Player/Workstation Pro installation path: C:\Program Files(x86)\VMware\VMware Player (VMware Workstation), find the vm-support.vbs and double click it.

 

Upload the vmsupport-2016-*-*.zip to the forum, or if you do not want to upload to here. You can send it to me directly. My email is: twang at vmware.com

Thank you for your understanding and appreciate it.
