Re: workstation pro licensing question

0
0

Wila:

 

I did buy a version 12 license and had to downgrade it to version 10 in order to make that work. I did ask the guy (I was talking to tech support, not sales support) if I had to pay again for version 12 and he said no. But I do tend to agree with you, it would not make business sense to give away the newest product. Hopefully they will not make me pay full retail when upgrading to 12.

 

Thanks for your help

ESXi 5.5 : should PCI ID match with /device/ID/vmkname in esx.conf?

0
0

Hi,

 

We're having some weird intermittent connectivity issues after the firmware update (including NIC firmware) on ESXi 5.5 U1. VMs from different VLANs on the same ESXi host occasionally can't communicate with each other.

 

What I noticed is that there seems to be a mismatch in PCI IDs reported by esxcfg-nics -l:

 

vmnic2  0000:18:00.00 tg3     Up   1000Mbps  Full9000   Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet
vmnic3  0000:18:00.01 tg3     Up   1000Mbps  Full9000   Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet
vmnic4  0000:18:00.02 tg3     Up   1000Mbps  Full9000   Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet
vmnic5  0000:18:00.03 tg3     Up   1000Mbps  Full9000   Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet

 

If I look at /etc/vmware/esx.conf for vmnic2 (for example):

 

/vmkdevmgr/pci/s00000005.00/alias = "vmnic2"

/device/000:024:00.0/vmkname = "vmnic2"

/net/vswitch/child[0000]/uplinks/child[0001]/pnic = "vmnic2"

/net/vswitch/child[0000]/teamPolicy/uplinks[0001]/pnic = "vmnic2"

/net/vswitch/child[0000]/portgroup/child[0000]/teamPolicy/uplinks[0001]/pnic = "vmnic2"

/net/vswitch/child[0000]/portgroup/child[0002]/teamPolicy/uplinks[0001]/pnic = "vmnic2"

/net/vswitch/child[0000]/portgroup/child[0001]/teamPolicy/uplinks[0001]/pnic = "vmnic2"

/net/vswitch/child[0000]/portgroup/child[0003]/teamPolicy/uplinks[0000]/pnic = "vmnic2"

/net/pnic/child[0002]/name = "vmnic2"

 

esxcfg-nics -l reports that it's 18 (so does vSphere Client), while in esx.conf it's 24.  Could this be an issue?

 

There are couple of ESXi hosts that haven't been updated, and the IDs match both in esxcfg-nics -l and /etc/vmware/esx.conf.

 

Thank you.

I have to agree on that part. Switching network on and off should not be affected by the disk type.

After Windows Creator Update, no remote access a web server running within a Linux VM under VMPlayer 7

0

Two days ago I had a PC updated to Windows 10 Creator.   Since that time I can start VMPlayer 7.1.4 (build-3848939) and the Fedora 20 VM just fine.  If I examine the listening ports, all the ones I expect to be there are fine.   I can even access the web server via FireFox running locally on the Linux VM.   What I can't do is access the web server from the host or even a remote machine.

 

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing VMPlayer, but that does not help although I saw it make some new entries in the Firewall Inbound rules.  I suspect something is wrong with the adapters, but I can't figure what it might be.

 

I have been using the Bridged Network Connection without a problem up to this point.

Hi,

 

Not surprised to hear that. There's been a bunch of problems with Windows 10 hosts where networking stopped working.

You can search the forum and see some of the solutions presented helps, but quite frankly VMware Player version 7.x has been out of support for a long time and for security reasons you should use a more recent version.

As the cost is the same - free - you'd best update to the latest VMware Player 12.5.x

I know it is an year by now, but I wrote a small command to get the result. Hope this helps if anyone is looking for it.

 

This would list pool names with the available unassigned desktops in the pool.

 

Add-PsSnapin Vmware.View.Broker

Get-Pool | Select Pool_id, @{Name="Unassigned VMs";Expression={($_ | Get-DesktopVM | ? {$_.user_displayname -eq "$null"}).Count}}

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

First it said it couldn't find the disk image.  Then, when it did it rejected my product key.   I am now in a loop of rebooting all the time after the product key fails.  This is a new install of Windows 10.  I have a mid 2015 Retina version running Sierra 10.12.5

VMware Product Interoperability Matrices

 

You couldnt add and higher Host Version to an lower Vcenter Version. If you want to add 6.5 host - then you need to upgrade youre vcenter
