Have you tried this KB? Basically to create a new mount ISO action in vRA/vRO rather than using VMRC.

Re: Vrops environment dashboard based on vsphere tags
Sorry, but didnt work for me. I have created a category named "Environment" and three tags (Prod, Dev and test). When I create the View, in the filter Menu i choose the tag in the following structure:
[<Category-tag>]. For example [<Environment-Dev>]. Doing this i receive garbage results ...like a graph with variables like [..] [,,,] [,,,,,].
Thanks.

Re: Keyboard Not Working after VMWare Conversion
I had this same issue and found SynTP in the keyboard entry, removed that as per the instructions above, rebooted the vm and then it worked fine. My machine was also Win 10 x64.

Lost SSO password
Hi,
is is it possible to recover the password for administrator@vsphere.local account?
ive inherited a vsphere 6.0 system, but no one knows the SSO administrator password, it was set previously by whoever configured it, and said person no longer works here. I believe it is the only SSO admin account created as was the default install one.
ive tried resetting it using the KB article, but obviously that fails as my account is not an SSO admin, so can't do it, or see what users/groups are defined as SSO admins.
Is it possible to recover it or are we just going to have to rebuild it? It's a vcenter 6 with embedded PSC/SSO? Would a support call be any use to recovering it or am I just being hopeful?

Re: Need help with PowerCLI Script to export ESXi Management PortGroup Name, Mgmt IP, VLAN ID of ESXi hosts that are part of Distributed Switch
Thanks LucD. It's partially working as the VlanID is blank.
These are reporting fine: vCenter, VMHost, PortGroupName, IP, but VlanId is blank. Please help.
Not sure if this makes difference: we are using all Distributed vSwithces, no Standard vSwitch.

Re: Horizon Smart Policies not working
Thank you for the log file and screenshots, VDINinja311.
Looking at the FlexEngine log file, there is no difference between the Horizon Smart Policies settings that are applied during logon, and the settings that are applied during the UEM refresh. In both cases we see [INFO ] Applied Horizon Smart Policies settings, without any warnings or errors.
I think the next step in troubleshooting this would be to review the Horizon-related logs for the components that take their config through Horizon Smart Policies. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find these logs, how to enable them, or how to interpret them – I only know about the UEM side of Horizon Smart Policies :-(

Snapshot rendered machine useless
Hello,
ESXi 5.5 build 1892794
Veeam backup
machine - Window 7
A few days ago, a machine was frozen during a snapshot (progress at 50%, stuck over half a day). We called support and they went through to locate the stuck process. Support rebooted the VCenter and then I believe killed the process. The machine became corrupted. We had to restore entire machine.
Same issue occurred to the same machine about 1.5 months ago. The support killed the process and it was fine. No restarting of VCenter.
I was told there wasn't any abnormally but to look at the case in more details, they have to turn on more logging which will be disk space intensive. Over the years, we haven't seen anything like this. The closest thing was a "stun" process for a split second. As of now, we don't back up that machine anymore. Just curious if anybody have similar issue. My worst nightmare would be one day it does that to a more critical machine.
Thanks,
TT

ESXi 6.5 - Can't Increase Datastore Size
I have a server that I recently upgraded from 5.5 to 6.5 and later added an additional hard drive to the internal RAID array. When looking at the "Devices" tab in the storage section, the new increased virtual disk size is displayed. When I go to try to increase the size of the datastore, the popup page displays "Select a device on which to create a new VMFS partition" and hangs on loading indefinitely. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Re: Support for USB 3.0 VW Workstation 12.5.5
You can change your VM->Settings->USB Controller setting to "USB Compatibility: USB 3.0", then it should work.

Re: Need help with PowerCLI Script to export ESXi Management PortGroup Name, Mgmt IP, VLAN ID of ESXi hosts that are part of Distributed Switch
correction, wherever there are Standard Switches, its fetching the vlan id fine. For Distributed Switches, it's blank. I understand Script needs to be updated to include DvSwitch logic?
Please help.

VCSA and PSC DNS Server settings
Hi,
Looking for a PowerCli way:
To run through a list of VCSA servers and generate report on the current DNS Servers configured on VCSA and PSC appliances.
Also, if possible (can be a second script) to update DNS Servers on VCSA and PSC.
Thanks in Advance.

Re: Get list of plugins and versions installed from vCenter?
Thanks. That works. To refine it into one line, I'd think I could do something like
Get-View ExtensionManager | Where-Object Name -like "*ExtensionList*" | select @{N='Name';E={$_.Description.Label}},Version,Company
to make it into one line?

Shared RAW disk
Hi
I am trying to share a RAW disk between to VM's that are part of a 2 node vmware cluster. I add in the disk as a raw volume to the first VM and set the scsi bus sharing to physical. I then add the disk to the second VM using "use an existing disk". However when I try to start the second VM i get the error
"File system specific implementation of lookupAndOpen file failed. Cannot open the disk or one of the snapshot disk it dpemds on, failed to lock the file"
Every guide i have read says ensure you set SCSI Bus Sharing to physical which I have but i still can share the LUN
Please can someone advise what i doing wrong.
Screenshots attached.
Thanks in advance

Re: VCSA and PSC DNS Server settings
Hi Uman,
This can be achieved with the vCSA REST API. If you had a list of vCenter Servers you could do something like the following;
$Credential = Get-Credential # vSphere SSO Credentials
$colvCenterServer = ("labvc1.pigeonnuggets.com","labvc2.pigeonnuggets.com") # Your vCenter server collection
$auth = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($Credential.UserName+':'+$Credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password))
$head = @{
'Authorization' = "Basic $auth"
}
foreach($vCenterServer in $colvCenterServer){
# Setup the API Session
$SessionURI = "https://" + $vCenterServer + "/rest/com/vmware/cis/session"
$request = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $SessionURI -Method Post -Headers $head
$token = (ConvertFrom-Json $request.Content).value
$session = @{'vmware-api-session-id' = $token}
# Get a list of the DNS Configuration
$DNSURI = "https://" + $vCenterServer + "/rest/appliance/networking/dns/servers"
$dnsRequest = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DNSURI -Method Get -Headers $session
$DNSServers = (ConvertFrom-Json $dnsRequest.Content).value
# Do something with the $DNSServers value returned ?
$DNSServers
}
# To Amend the values use a POST Method replacing the IP as required
$strPOSTValue = @'
{
"config": {
"mode": "is_static",
"servers": [
"192.168.88.10"
]
}
}
'@
foreach($vCenterServer in $colvCenterServer){
# Setup the API Session
$SessionURI = "https://" + $vCenterServer + "/rest/com/vmware/cis/session"
$request = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $SessionURI -Method Post -Headers $head
$token = (ConvertFrom-Json $request.Content).value
$session = @{'vmware-api-session-id' = $token}
$DNSURI = "https://" + $vCenterServer + "/rest/appliance/networking/dns/servers"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DNSURI -Method Put -Headers $session -Body $strPOSTValue -ContentType "application/json"
}
Hopefully this helps; I would recommend that you check out the API Explorer for vCenter (https://vCenter.tld/apiexplorer/) for more methods. Let me know if you need any further info and please mark this as helpful if it has been. Cheers,

When I execute the API, it did not work.
ex=0\&pageSize=2
or

I have no issue with some other APIs like traceflow, VXLAN, controller, etc but this one does not work for me.
Am i missing something here?
