Guest Introspection VM Console default username and password

0
0

Hi,

 

I am using NSX 6.2.4 and when deploying Guest Introspection I chose DHCP as my hosts are in different subnets. After the successful deployment I want now to manually change the IP address of each Guest Introspection VM

 

The issue I have is that when connecting through console to the Guest Introspection VM it shows "localhost.localdom login:" and I have tried all kind of passwords but  they don't work.

 

Do you know what's the default username and password?

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Regards,

Re: 8.5 Keeps crashing

nothing to do with unity. i don't use it (i'm a single window man) and i've had VM's completely trashed and made un-bootable. infact i've just spent three days rebuilding a windows dev machine to find it no longer boots. this is extremely painful. no wonder they stopped billing for upgrades...

No disrespect Wacky but you are 100 percent wrong.

Might be other problems as well and your problem is related to something else but the problem in this thread is 100 percent unity related.

Been running without Unity a few weeks without a single crash.

 

I'm so suprised they are not doing anything about this serious problem

Most welcome. Happy learning..

 

BTW,

It's the most common or just happened to be the same as the tutorial maker?

It is just that the video talks about Realtek driver which is the common network driver for most of the home desktops/workstations and the driver covers most of the device IDs under tat driver.


Cheers mate

Hi,

 

You can count me in as well. I have random crashes on various Windows XP virtual machines.

I collected the problem report, however this file is 108Mb and I'm not sure whether you already have received enough of these or not. Just let me know.

 

I'm looking forward to getting soon from you guys a new release or workaround as this is very annoying on a daily basis.

 

Do not hesitate to contact me should you need any further information.

 

Best Regards,

Shared folders with workstation 12.5.0 build-4352439 on Windows 10 Pro x64 after last update of Microsoft Windows 10

0
0

Hi all,

 

I have Windows 10 Pro x64 as a host OS. I have also VMWare Workstation 12.5 installed on that host.On of my virtual machines uses also Windows 10 Pro x64.

After the last Microsoft update of the guest, Il lose the "shared folder" functionality. But "shearde folders" on another virtual machine using Linux continue to function correctly.

Fortunately, I have enabled "auto protect" on this particular virtual machine so I reverted to a snapshot before the update and I can for the moment continue to use sahred folders. This is really vital for me because I store nothing on the virtual machine and all my work uses sharde folders from the host. For the moment I have blocked this update ...

 

Has someone encountered this problem?

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks in advance

Re: migrating VM to different network without changing its host is not supported

0

I am gonna blatantly post the network checker points:

MAC address compatibility on the destination host

vMotion from a distributed switch to a standard switch

vMotion between distributed switches of different versions

vMotion to an internal network, for example, a network without a physical NIC

vMotion to a distributed switch that is not working properly

vCenter Server does not perform checks for and notify you about the following problems:

If the source and destination distributed switches are not in the same broadcast domain, virtual machines lose network connectivity after migration.

If the source and destination distributed switches do not have the same services configured, virtual machines might lose network connectivity after migration.

However, I do have a tendency to ask you to check on the licensing and the nics in member of the d/vswitch

Not being able to run VMware on FreeBSD forces me to use VirtualBox.

Possible to take back the disk space that was mistakenly allocated?

0
0

I've mistakenly allocated more disk space of 50 GB to the wrong disk.  The VM has 2 disks and I was

intending to add more disk space to disk 1 but ended up adding it to disk 2.

 

I haven't expanded the mistakenly allocated disk space in the OS.  It still shows up as Unallocated in Disk Management.

Is there a way to delete the unallocated 50GB in ESXi so it frees up the space?

 

Thanks

Does this mean the backup has failed?

Hi, I am in a bit of a quandary and was hoping someone would be able to give me a quick answer to something. I have been put in a position, due to staff absence, of looking after the network at our company. Everything seemed to be ticking along nicely until this message started coming up a day ago - unfortunately I have no experience with the related technology :-/

 

Failed to create vCenter snapshot associated with volume collection VMExch schedule DailySnap for virtual machine vsm-ex1 due to an unexpected error.


In a nutshell, does this mean the backup has failed completely and that we are without a snapshot of our exchange server? Any comments gratefully received



Re: Fusion compatible with case sensitive file system?

Both of my Macs' internal SSD's were initially installed with jhfsx (case sensitive), after a wipe/partition using diskutil, using a command like this:

 

sudo diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk** 1 GPT jhfsx LABEL-HERE 100%

 

Obviously, the exact /dev/diskID number needs to be filled in and the desired label inserted in that command.  I was using the external SSD for testing only, after having problems with the initial installs on the two Macs.  I partitioned/formatted the external using the same method.  For some reason, Disk Utility just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

 

I since decided that case sensitive was not for me, so I rewiped/redid both machines to jhfs+ (using the above command modified to jhfs+), and reinstalled Sierra on each from scratch.  Interestingly, if I install Cold Fusion very early in the process of setting up the machine, the VM's (at least the newest ones) work without throwing the "Internal Error".  The VM's for 10.9.5 and 10.10.5 would open, but immediately shut down.  10.11.6 works fine, as well as the Debian one.  When I go to open the saved Windows 10 VM, Fusion won't even open it.  In browsing for it (File, Open), once it is found, there is a big yellow triangle with an exclamation point over the VM file.  Click the Open button, and nothing happens, except the Open dialog browse box goes away.

 

At this point I am content to wait for 10.12.1.  Folks testing the betas report much better luck with Fusion, in another thread.

Re: Probleme mit VMware Fusion (6.x und 8.5.0) nach Update auf macOS Sierra

Hi,

 

While I can read German, I make no attempt to write it (as it will certainly contain too many mistakes)

 

My first suggestion is to reboot your host Mac computer, then try again.


If that doesn't help.

Uninstall VMware Fusion 8.5,

reboot the computer,

install VMware Fusion 8.5 again

 

edit: To be clear, Fusion 8.5 should work fine with macOS Sierra.

The only currently known issue that I am aware about is that the unity feature can crash under certain circumstances, not pretty, but I'm sure that VMware will address it in an update.

 

Good luck

Hi,

 

Yes the same issue has been reported here before, the Windows 10 update has the potential of breaking the shared folder feature.

There's usually more as one way to resolve that, but the most reliable solution so far is to reinstall VMware Tools in a specific way.

 

Here's my notes on the subject:

 

These type of issues are almost always due to a broken VMware Tools install.

 

Do not try a repair install from within the Guest OS as it likely will not fix this, unfortunately the "Reinstall VMware Tools" from the drop down menu also falls in that same category.

You really need the guest OS to reboot inbetween uninstall and install to make sure that all the files from VMware Tools are in the correct locations and of the correct version.

 

In short follow these steps:

  • Uninstall VMware Tools
  • Reboot guest OS
  • Install VMware Tools
  • Reboot guest OS.

 

A bit of a longer description is: 

  • In the guest Windows operating system, go to Control Panel -> Programs & Features -> Select VMware Tools -> Uninstall

Follow the steps from the installer to completely uninstall VMware Tools

  • Reboot the guest OS.
  • Then from the Virtual Machine menu select "Install VMware Tools"

If no installer appears, go to the DVD-rom within windows and click "setup" (for 32 bits windows) or "setup64" (for 64 bits windows)

Once you see an installer, click "Next" until Finish, keep the defaults.

  • Reboot the guest when done installing (it will ask by itself to reboot)

Cannot figure out how to edit my post.  I meant VMWare Fusion, not Cold Fusion (shades of my past lingering in my brain).

Syncing config between clusters

0
0

Hi,

 

To the best of my knowledge, the architecture for multi-site high availability is isolated worker clusters on each site. We have several clusters of forwarders on each site sending forwarding logs to these worker clusters. Global load balancers will check the health of each cluster and only forward to the local site, unless of course that site would fail and then forward to the opposite site.

 

When using the LI agents this becomes complicated, we will have 5 different clusters of forwarders on each site (two sites). In most scenarios the agent config will be the same across all agents and environments. Is there anyway to sync from a "master" agent config across all forwarders, and indeed, the worker clusters.

 

Any help or experience would be appreciated.
