vSAN default Storage Policy Raid Configuration
Hi All,
I am new to vSAN. In default vSAN storage policy, there is no raid configuration information. My requirement is to have Raid-1 as default.
Unfortunately, I cant find any documentation on this. Hope some experts can advise on this.
Thanks,

Re: Workstation 12 Failing w Known Good Windows 10 Guest - ERROR: "A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state"
Hi bluefirestorm,
Resolved. Thanks. Your reply was spot on.
As soon as I corrected the guest OS setting as you instructed, on next start of the VM the following new error was displayed:
NX/XD is required by windows9 guests. The processor must support NX/XD and it must be enabled in the BIOS.
Seeing that, we entered BIOS on the failing host, enabled "Use XD Capability" and now all Win10 VMs are running fine on that previously failing host.
btw ... The VM I had provided vmware.log for had been upgraded to Win10 from Win7. After the upgrade we had failed to reset the VMware guest OS setting accordingly.
Again, thank you for your prompt and effective support.
Best regards,
g

Horizon 7.2 - Change vGPU Profile on instant clone pool?
I have a lab environment with a GRID card in it. I changed the vGPU profile on the parent image, and wish to push a new snapshot to the pool. In Horizon 7.1, I was able to change the vGPU profile in View under the vCenter Settings tab, but now that it's automatically detected from the original parent image snapshot in 7.2, it seems my only option is to delete and re-create the entire pool. The new snapshot doesn't show up when I try to push image, and if I click the show all images checkbox, I can see it with the error "Snapshot NVIDIA GRID GPU is different from the one configured on the pool." I would hope there is a way around this that didn't require rebuilding the pool, but will deal with it for now.

Re: Jumbo frame questions
It is best practice to have jumbo frames enabled for vMotion network. Also, similar to what everyone else has said, you should enable jumbo frames end to end. Also, what version of VMware tools are you running? Do you have RSS enabled on the NICs of the VMs that experience the packet drops? Long shot but have a look at these articles, may be helpful.

Re: App Profile HTTPS Passthrough and SSL Session ID Sticky
Hi,
Sticky configuration using SSL Session ID can be set only in using SSL paththrough mode.
If SSL paththrough is disabled, sticky using SSL Seesion ID cannot be used because SSL session is terminated by NSX Edge.
The detail of NSX LB Application profile is described in the below.
| Traffic Type | Persistence Method Supported |
|---|---|
| HTTPS | Cookie, ssl_session_id (SSL Passthrough enabled) , SOURCEIP |

NetBIOS Name Already Exists
Hello Guys, I use VMware workstation as a virtual lab so I create lots of domains on my Windows server 2012 for different purposes. The issue I am having is while promoting server to the domain controller. I have created a domain xyz.combefore on one of the server which do not exist now. The Net-BIOS name I used was XYZ . I have deleted all the files related to that machine. Now I am trying to create same domain with same Net-BIOS name but I get an error that the Net-BIOS name is already in use and suggests me to create new name. I doubt that the Net-BIOS name is stored somewhere in VMware or network adapter (I have no idea). Is there any way to clear these stuffs so that I can use same Net-BIOS name ?

Re: USB Devices not mounting - Fusion 8.5.7 + High Sierra
I reported same issue over a week ago, was told it is a known issue caused by changes Apple made to USB processes and that VMware has reported it to Apple and is tracking it. No workaround exists, no resolution likely until 10.12.6 is out of beta status.

Unmount datastores from all hosts
Is there a way to import a list of datastores that need to be unmounted from all hosts that have them mounted, then find each host that has that datstore mounted and unmount the datastore from all hosts?

Remove datastores from host profiles
Is there a way to import a list of datastores and then for each datastore, find all host profiles that specify that this datastore should be mounted, and automatically update the host profile to NOT require that datastore to be mounted to the hosts it is applied to?

Re: NetBIOS Name Already Exists
You may have to flush the DNS and NetBIOS cache.
ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R
If you're curious to see if any NetBIOS names is in the cache, you can check it using
nbtstat -c
Hope that helps

vRO presentation vs vSphere Web Client presentation
Have a very odd issue here.
A workflow i created runs perfectly on the vRO client.
The first step has an input that displays as a list and that works very well.
the second step is supposed to display a list based on the selection of the first step but it just shows up as a test box. 
on vRO, this is the presentation. Am i doing something wrong here?
Thanks!

remove memory reservation
Hi
PowerCLI C:\> Get-VM xxx | Get-VMResourceConfiguration | Select-Object Name, CpuReservationMhz, MemReservationMB
Name CpuReservationMhz MemReservationMB
---- ----------------- ----------------
0 8192
i was able to remove cpu reservation with below
| foreach ($line in $csv) | ||||
| { | ||||
Get-VM $($line.name) |% {Get-View $_.ID} | % {
$spec = new-object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec;
$spec.CPUAllocation = $_.ResourceConfig.CpuAllocation
$spec.CpuAllocation.Reservation = 0;
$_.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
}
}
but it does not work for memory
for me even below did not work
1
|
Get-VM|Get-VMResourceConfiguration|where{$_.MemLimitMB-ne'-1'}|Set-VMResourceConfiguration-MemLimitMB$null
|
below did not work too
$VMs = Get-Cluster | Get-VM
Foreach ($VM in $VMs)
{
$configspec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$configspec.MemoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo
# This will uncheck the box.
$configspec.MemoryReservationLockedToMax = $false
# This will put the reservation back to 0
$configspec.MemoryAllocation[0].Reservation = 0
$VM.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($ConfigSpec)
}
i tried below too
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$spec.memoryReservationLockedToMax = $true
(Get-VM xxx).ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
no luck
Please help

Do you have any label on the hardware which tells the exact model ? Error says failed to initialize acpi subsystem, clearly indicates that this is due to hardware fault/incompatibility.

Re: Splitting a VSAN
Hello Dreckly,
Glad you sorted this yourself, I intended to earlier but then RL called.
This all can be done from the command-line simply with 'esxcli vsan cluster leave' on two hosts then 'esxcli vsan cluster new' on one of them, and then just 'esxcli vsan cluster get' on the other standalone host to get the new vSAN Sub-cluster UUID so it can use 'esxcli vsan cluster join' to join it.
You *should* also reconfigure the cluster at the vCenter-level but the above would accomplish the vSAN-level clustering part.
