Re: How can I achieve host failure protection with 2 ESXI servers in one geographical location?
You could possibly use fault tolerance, depending on the number of VMs you need to protect and their vCPU count.
Fault Tolerance Requirements, Limits, and Licensing
Not having shared storage will restrict you in terms of HA. If you can meet your RTO and RPO requirements the you might be able to make vSphere replication work.
All the best

Re: XaaS provisioning request - no item in the "Items" tab
So, I finally found a solution and I'm very mad at VMware...
The key problem was using this code to return my Dynamic object to vRA:
var objects = Server.findAllForType("DynamicTypes:" + namespace + "." + typeName);
for each (var object in objects)
{
if ( object.name == vm_name )
{ My_object = object; System.log(object.name); break;
}
}
Despite the fact that Server.findAllForType() really found my Dynamic objects and I got proper My_object, it wasn't recognized by vRA.
And actually I had to use this:
My_object = DynamicTypesManager.getObject(namespace, typeName, object.id);
So, to proper return Dynamic Type object to vRA you have to use DynamicTypesManager() class instead of well-known findAllForType().
If anybody know what is the difference here and why "findAllForType()" is not good to use - I'll be very thankful for this info!

Re: VMware Workstation 12 Pro Mouse Forward Back Buttons Don't Work
I am experiencing the same issue. VMWare Workstation PRO 12.5.7 Build -5813279, Lenovo MT20, Windows 10 Host, Mint Linux 18.2 Guest, Logitech Marble Mouse. I added the lines to the vmx and restarted the guest to no avail. After message around I noticed that if I right click on the VM in the browser and Go to Removable Devices > Logitech USB Trackball > Connect (Disconnect from host) that the Guest OS notices the Mouse and applies the changes and the Back/Forward buttons start working. The problem is that the USB Device is no longer attached in the Host OS and I am unable to use the mouse outside of the VM, which makes it unworkable.
I am posting in hopes that someone from VMWare is paying attention and this provides some more insight into why VMWare is broken.

Re: Need Powershell script for VM inventory
Hi Robert,
is it possible to add Custom Attributes to the list? I am able to add Notes by adding $Report.Note = $VM.Notes and also added "Notes" to the Select-Object line, but to no avail to get any Custom Attributes to be displayed. Thank you.

Re: vRO + PowerShell plugin --> Get-Tag failure
Just a quick update. We worked around this issue by using a wrapper script and a temp file.
The wrapper script creates a temp powershell file, that calls the main script. The temp script is then executed using winrs. Here is an example.
param(
[String] $a
,[String] $b
)
$cmdLine = "d:\main.ps1 `'$a`' '`$b`'
$cmdLine | Out-File -filepath "d:\temp.ps1"
winrs -r:http://localhost:5985 -ad -u:domain\user -p:password powershell.exe "d:\temp.ps1"
Remote-Item "d:\temp.ps1"

Re: XaaS provisioning request - no item in the "Items" tab
In your loop you filter on the name whereas the finder method works with the ID.
Secondly, the scripting classes returned by Server.findAll or DynamicTypesManager.getObject do not have to be the same.
But it's awesome that you have found the point in the flow where the object is not properly handed over.
What I do not understand: why do you loose control of your newly created dynamic type? Why do you have to do this lookup at all instead of holding the new instance in a variable or output param?

Vcenter Appliance 6.5 : Issues while deploying ova files using " Deploy new OVF template" option
Hello all,
I know it is a known issue where " Deploy new OVF template" in Vcenter appliance has issues and gives the following error : "OVF package with compressed disks is currently not supported for OVF import". hence, I did following workaround:
After this workaround, I see a different error: " Service Unavailable : Error getting https://<vcenterIP>:443/cls/data/xxxxxxx/<ova file>-file18.msg: HTTP/1.1 503 service unavailable. "
Can anyone please help me with this issue?
Using Ovftool from local (as suggested by most of them) to deploy ova is super slow as I need to connect to VPN to complete the deployment.
I need to be in the network for ova that I am deploying.

Re: What is the current technique for importing KVM VMs into Vcenter?
Hello wsanders11,
vCenter Converter works for Linux boxes:
www.vmware.com/pdf/convsa_61_guide.pdf
How were you creating .vmdk descriptors for VMs?
I don't think it is possible to attach a -flat.vmdk to a VM directly and if it was then this could be the source of issues.
It's also possible that any .vmdk descriptor used/generated could have had incorrect sizing and/or attributes of the -flat and caused the corruption.
If cloning after appears to work, great, but do intensive FS checks to ensure this is the case.

I'm having this issue as well and I'm running vCenter 6.5.0.1 Build 5973321. I've been trying to deploy the vRealize Orchestrator 7.3 appliance and am not able to because of this error. I've tried other OVF/OVA images and I get the same error. Additionally it happens with both the Flash and HTML5 web clients and have received the same results.

Re: USB Passthrough of TV Tuner
Were you able to get anywhere on this? I'm having the exact same issue, to the "T".
At first thought it was due to a server OS so I loaded Windows 10, but ran across the same issue. A Physical machine works fine, though.
running VMware ESXi, 6.5.0 Update 1, (5969303) if that helps any.

Authentication Fails when Syncing Content Library from other vCenter
I have some content libraries shared between data centers. This worked a few days ago for me, as user "wsanders". Now, when I try to sync a recently uploaded library item as "wsanders" I get an error:
"The "Sync Library Item" operation failed for the entity with the following error message.
This method requires authentication."
To get the sync to start I have to log in as administrator.
The subscription URL on the destination library matches the one on the origin and I can pull the json down in web browser.
How do I start debugging this? Is there a separate role I need to set to allow all users to post content in libraries and share it?
