Hi,
Unity hybrid 300 and esxi and vcenter 6
VASA cert was expired but now fixed and is registered
but the vvol on emc shows inaccessible / inactive
restarted management of emc, vcenter and ...
hosts have PE's but the vvol still inaccessible
any help would be appreciated
Greetings André
Thank you for your time and knowledge in resolving this issue.
After additional research for windows I see I did not really need that recovery sector created by windows on installation / upgrade from windows 7. So for others who may read this further research gave me a video showing using the command prompt in windows 10 as admin I was able to delete this partition.
This then placed the additional space adjacent to my existing windows partition. Then all the options that were previously greyed out were available for me to use. Using the extend volume option I just followed the prompts and I now have windows running with a HDD size of 100GIGS as per the image.
Once again really appreciate your assistance
I have several OVAs that I built and they all are exporting as larger OVAs than the total storage the take up (details below). I initially exported them with multiple snapshots, and when I deleted those I thought that would definitely clear things up. Nope. Same export size. Some of them are running in ESXi 6.7 while others are running in 6.5 U2, if that matters. I'm using the OVF Tool to export them as the GUI absolutely never works properly.
For example:
VM1: 5.61GB vmdk file, 8.52GB exported OVA
VM2: 4GB vmdk file, 7.96GB exported OVA
VM3: 4.01GB vmdk file, 8.12GB exported OVA
In each case, I'm getting the vmdk file size from the datastore browser, and there is only one file in any of them over 1MB and it is the vmdk I listed above. I don't expect the final file to have a little bloat, but not several gigabytes worth.
I'm in the same situation. I'm a registered user with a license for ESXi 6.0, but the buttons
on the download page don't work. (I used two different browsers, cleared all, no cache issues, etc.)
And there's no possible reason to block addresses, from the block of IP addresses
my new ISP uses. 74.123.77.X (There's no hacks out here.)

I can see some sort of secondary verification, beyond username and password,
but to simply state " it's not possible to download without a VPN ", and even that can be "iffy"....
If I was on your Sales Team, I'd be seriously concerned. Potential customers are not
going to doggedly pursue "why" they can't download. They'll take the path of least resistance
and go to the competition.
(And the competition is probably thanking Akamai for their policy.)
I'm surprised by VMWARE's lack of communication on this issue. VMWARE TEAM, Where is the Solution?
We use Shadow Protect for our backup services. The servers will be receiving hourly backups to a QNAP NAS, which then backup to the cloud at night.
Hello and welcome. Please take a moment to read the article in my signature. Then, post more details and tell us which product and what exactly you have tried.
Your screenshot is broken.
If this is a "production down" situation and your PE is inaccessible, you need to be phoning support.
Please provide more details here. You might have not realized what you thought was a search query was actually a forum post.

hello
I have old datastore which I wanted to mount in new hypervisor installation. Unfortunately I can see disk and partition but cant mount it. Any idea?
it's also strange that now I can't use datastore under old hypervisor too ;(

I've been scratching my head over this one for a bit trying to get vRealize Orchestrator to properly get/set/update vCD metadata against a vApp/VM. How do I determine the type of metadata value? All of the examples I can see rely on the 'old' vCD API where the only valid metadata type was 'String'.
With 'testVm' set to a VM object correctly I can use the following to see all the 'String' metadata keys and values:
var metadata = testVm.getMetadata();
var metadataEntries = metadata.getTypedEntries().enumerate();
for each (var metadataEntry in metadataEntries) {
var value = metadataEntry.typedValue.getValue(new VclMetadataStringValue).value;
System.log("Metadata key: " + metadataEntry.key + " value: " + value);
}
This code works fine for metadata where the data type is 'String' (since using VclMetadataStringValue), but doesn't retrieve any keys/values from metadata fields using the other 3 data types (boolean, date/time or number). What expression can I use to determine the type of the metadataEntry so I can handle it appropriately?
Thanks in advance, Jon.
Is there a way in VMWare fusion to keep the window sticky o the same area it was when you closed it?
When window popups to boot OS, the window shifts down. and i always find myself needing to re-adjust the position.
Similarly, when exiting full-screen the window does not always resize back to single window (smallish) or last windows size position... When returning from full screen, it often is just windowed but filling the entire screen Only leaving menu bar and dock visible on OS X.
Anyway to fix.
Running Fusion 11.0.2
Found the solution
Deleted Vasa x509 certificate on storage side
P2V is failed with the following error.
"unable to detect disks or volumes on the source machine.Make sure that the source is supported linux distribuition".
Physical Server - Linux 5.6 OS- SAN boot and multipath is enabled.
Vcenter converter used is 6.2 version.
Any help here is really appreciated.
Hi
Vm's are ok
No problem between hosts and storage data
But vvol cannot be used for creating new machines, cannot be browsed and ..
I see pe's but hosts are not connected to vvol and the size of vvol in the pe section is reported as 0 or 522 bytes !
But in vcenter it's displaying the right size though inactive and greyed out
About esxtop can i say if it show %CSTP more than normal means i have cpu overcommitment and had to delight vcpu ?

I am trying to convert an expandable disk to a pre-allocated one. Not split into many files, but one big file.
I rebooted, but I still get the error message in the title. This is the command I am running in cmd.exe
vmware-vdiskmanager.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation>vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r "C:\Users\ME\Virtual Machines\Win10\Win10-disk1.vmdk" -t 2 C:\Users\ME\Virtual Machines\Win10\Win10-pre-allocated-disk1.vmdk"
I tried copying the existing vmdk file to a different partition, and running the command with the new path, but I got the same error.
When I tried running the command in terminal of Ubuntu, I got the error message that the file is not found. But that might be because Windows locked the file as read-only. I have the problem sometimes, because of dual-boot. In Windows, I chose "restart", which is supposed to not use fast boot, but sometimes I still get the read-only error on my NTFS partitions...
