Re: VSAN 6.0+ and external storage DAS / JBOD
Hello,
Sorry but I couldn't find anything less vague:
"Another question that comes up is using external storage expansion. This is supported in limited cases of specific ready nodes."
blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2016/05/17/vmware-virtual-san-sas-expanders/
It does then list a few examples so maybe check out what components those are using to achieve this for example.

Re: How to transfer a file to vm
Thanks sbeaver for the reply,..
what I meant, is from the end user point of view, in other words,
the end user who opened the catalog & chose the blueprint, will end up with a VM,
the question is, how the end user can transfer a file whether a doc or an .exe file to that vm from his own desktop ?
when the end user connect to the vm using VMRC the option (Removable media) is grayed out for the vms created by VRA 7 as shown in the attached picture..
is that normal or it's just happening to me ?! because when I try to connect to the same vm using VMRC but from vCenter, I have" Removable media" option available & can be used
to connect iso files to the VM. why it's not working when vmrc is activated from vRA 7 user portal ?!
I appreciate to have an answer for this question & to provide the end users with a simple way to transfer their files & apps to the vms they created in the cloud.
Thanks & Best Regards

Error: Unsupported plugin dependency type css on vCenter version 6.0.0.2559267
We started to build some parts of our plugin in HTML and noticed that in vcenter version 6.0.0.2559267, the flex part of our plugin deploys fine, but the HTML views show this error. It works fine on versions 6.0 U1 and above, but not on this particular build. Was HTML supported on this version of vcenter?

Having problems with bridged connections using ANY USB 3.0 Adapter with Realtek chipset in Workstation 12.5.2
I am finding that I cannot get ret reliable connections using USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter utilizing the Realtek Chipset; I've tried two so far. I cannot not get the Windows 10 Guest to recognize these adapters when I plugged them into the guest directly. And when I configured them as bridged connections from the HOST the connection is not reliable and I lose a lot of packets. I've also had the same exact problem with a Windows 7 Guest. I will note that this problem did NOT exist in some earlier versions of Workstation 12.x
I do not have problems of packet loss in the Windows 10 Host with these adapters
The Adapters with the Realtek Chipset that I've tried are:
Anker USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Aluminum AdapterModel: A7611 - A7611 01 -
SIIG Gigabit LAN Adapter JU-NE0611-S2
I purchased a USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter based on the ASIX chipset - intentional purchase -, and I've had NO problems so far, either as bridged OR installing into the Guest Operating System. As an FYI the adapter I used:
Plugable USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter Model: USB3-E1000
I realize this is user to user but... VMware please fix this problem!

Problem w\vCloud catalog template move to vRA 6.2.4 to use as template to create clone VMs
Hi,
We're migrating from vCloud director to vRA 6.2.4 and testing and prepping stuff and one of them is using the vCloud catalog "templates" to continue to create clones in vRA.
I'm having an issue with a couple vCloud director templates that I added to catalog and I removed the NIC and also unjoined from the domain before adding to vCloud catalog.templates.
The problem is when the team takes a copy in the VC and adds a NIC and converts it to an actual template to use in vRA the creation fails to complete because the new VM is still grabbing the original VM IP from the VM in vCloud that it was created from and not getting a completely new IP from the list in vRA.
Right now it only looks like its happening with Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 10. With Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 7 64b its been creating them fine and getting IPs and I have not had any issues with these from the same vCoud catalog.
Does anyone know why this keeps happening and if you have a solution? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance...
I think I'm explaining it correctly but if it's not clear please ask for more info.
Thank you

Are the Arguments used when running the Run Program in Guest workflow encrypted?
I was wondering how secure the parameters used when running the Run Program in Guest were. Are they encrypted or are they sent in plain text. Also when you copy a file from VCO to Guest or the reverse is that file encrypted? Thanks

Assistance with Wait and Win VM
So two questions here:
1.) This is less related to PowerCLI but still an issue Im having and maybe you fine people can assist. I am able to run scripts through PS and Powercli on a Win Server 2k8 Im using. When trying to do the same on a newer Win 7 laptop I get the following:
Add-PsSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 5.
And now that I believe I resolved this particular issue (by uninstalling and messing with some folder paths etc) Im receiving the following:
Cannot find file specified.
Ive never experienced issues with using PS/CLI before and this is just a pain.
2.) This is scripting related so no more common Windows issues here:
I have a deployed Windows VM that is templated at the stage prior to accepting EULA and setting a password. I want to include in a script the following: (also, is there a way t automate EULA acceptance etc?)
1.) Power ON VM
2.) Wait (presumably until I manually go through EULA acceptance and set password, which will then put me at the desktop)
- I tried the following (roughly): $waitfor = ($ping = do(test-connection "vmname") until ($ping))
Wait-Task $waitfor
3.) I believe the VM will grab a DHCP address on a private 192.x address.
4.) Break the Wait condition upon ping or any other reliable means (maybe check VM tools availability?)
5.) Continue with the script to assign IP addresses, drives etc.
Im having a hard time figuring out how I should tackle this.

Re: VSAN 6.0+ and external storage DAS / JBOD
Thanks for posting, I see that the example there uses a SAS Expander for internal disks on that Dell server. That article is also about a year old many things chance.
The other example is for SAS passthrough on blades, no documentation at all on any other setup, in particular on rack mount servers. Either it's not supported, or VMware is lacking on releasing clear documentation on the type of support.
Several releases later and no support for something a lot of customers are asking about. Too bad.
Thanks for posting, unfortunately it doesn't help me much

Re: VRA 7 with essential plus kit
Technically you should be able to. But would you have enough infra to run a vRA setup while following the best practices?
Also, if you can invest in vRA you can definitely invest in vSphere Ent+ too.

Re: NSX Edge ECMP + NAT
This is more of a Routing over VPC query support on Nexus 5K platform , as opposed to NSX Edge etc.
From your explanation it seems N5K is without L3 Daughter card ( or at least not used for L3 Peering with R1/R2 and NSX edge ) and
the topology is similar to Figure 51 in https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/design/vpc_design/vpc_best_practices_design_guide.pdf which is supported on N7K Platform and I believe it is on N5K as well . You may also want to look into Supported Topologies for Routing over Virtual Port Channel on Nexus Platforms - Cisco and Using Layer 3 and vPC on the Cisco Nexus 5500 Series Device [Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches] - Cisco Systems
On NSX side: You may want to align the deployment with Figure 50 and Figure 110 of NSX design Guide https://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadBody/27683-102-10-41631/NSX%20Reference%20Design%20Version%20…
Specifically ..
1. You may want to enable Totally Stubby NSSA area on R1/R2 and configure them as ABRs with both R1/R2 performing Type 7 to Type 5 Translation, This will minimize the OSPF Database entries/SPF calculations on NSX Edges / DLR
2. Enable ECMP on NSX Edge to install R1/R2 as possible NH's for the default route in RIB/FIB and send traffic to both R1/R2
3. Enable GR on R1/R2 to assist Edge Failover ( Active--> Standby )

Just to add instead of specifying the controller one can use "master" keyword to facilitate automation i.e. in e.g. below
