I downloaded VMWare workstation player 9 as it is a free product. When I am trying to create a new VM, after workstation player installation, it is asking for license. Where can I get the license.

Re: ovf size
That's the whole point, we can't give you an answer because you haven't provided enough details for one. You need to include things like:
What product?
What version?
How are you exporting an OVF?
What browser?
What OS?
Etc.
When you don't provide basic information, we can't help you.

Re: Powercli Script to Capture Cluster utilization
Ok, the error message caused by the Cluster Migration one is explained.
There is nothing in there.
The datastore error is that from the Cluster Mgration one, or from the other cluster I asked for?
And what was the other output?

Re: The system cannot find the file specified.
André,
Thanks for your quick response!
following you advice, I tried to clone the disk and while cloning of "mdServer-000006.vmdk" came back with an error, "mdServer-000007.vmdk" worked.
Moreover, I was even able to start the clone with its own OS.
Unfortunately, the clone (most likely) represents the machine state as of 7/30, and of course, I would need something closer to the last known state (9/12).
Based on the file listing, do you think any recent information is recoverable?
Thanks,
Vitaly

Re: ovf size
With exporting a virtual machine to an OVF file, only the virtual disk's used blocks (likely the 8GB) are exported.
The virtual disk's provisioned size will only be kept in the OVF file's metadata, so that the OFV import/deployment process is aware of that size, and can configure the VM's virtual disk as required.

Re: NSX Edge deploy fails because of no free space left but ..
Oh my mistake
/var folder is full in one of hosts
but log is only taking up about 30% of space there
remaining is taken by lib folder
Can I find some unused files and delete them?
Or It's better to increase /var size if possible
This is the first time I see /var folder full in a host !

Re: The system cannot find the file specified.
... cloning of "mdServer-000006.vmdk" came back with an error, ...
Did you replace the missing file prior to starting the cloning process?
If you did, please provide details about the error.
Unless the missing file can be restored from a backup, the data that was stored in this file is fone (~4GB).
However, it should at least be possible to create the mentioned clone, so that most of the data can be restored.
From what I saw in the file that you've provided, the important snapshot chain is:
base.vmdk -> 000002.vmdk -> 000007.vmdk -> 000001.vmdk -> 000003.vmdk -> 000006.vmdk
It looks like you reverted to snapshot 000003.vmdk (mybe while troubleshooting the issue), and that's why you also have a snapshot 000005.vmdk, which also has 000003.vmdk as it's parent.
A clone of 000006.vmdk will contain all of it's own, as well as it's parent's data (except for the data in the missing file).

Re: Workstation Player 9 License Key
Welcome to the Community,
doesn't it offer the option to use it for free - non commercail - by entering a valid email address?
Please provide a screenshot of where it asks you the enter the license.

Is there a solution to macOS Mojave keyboard/mouse issue?
After upgrading to macOS Mojave, I am not able to use keyboard/mouse on any VM. Updating VMware fusion to the beta version did not have any positive effect on the issue.
macOS: 10.14 (Mojave)
VMware Fusion: Professional Version e.x.p (8888912)

No puedo recuperar los datos
Hola a tod@s.
Es la primera vez que participo en el foro pero os he leído mucho. Les cuento lo que me ocurre por si me pueden dar alguna idea.
Tenía una MV en un SSD de poca capacidad y la máquina se estaba parando por falta de espacio. La apagué y cree una nueva máquina en otro datastore utilizando el disco virtual existente, y aquí vino el problema, no enciende ninguna de las dos. Detallo el error al encender la máquina.
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/59b0155e-b9d7310e-0ced-10feed03d6cf/VM_SRV_COMUNICA/VM_SRV_COMUNICA_1-000004.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Failed to lock the file
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/59b0155e-b9d7310e-0ced-10feed03d6cf/VM_SRV_COMUNICA/VM_SRV_COMUNICA-000004.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
The system cannot find the file specified
VMware ESX cannot find the virtual disk "/vmfs/volumes/59b0155e-b9d7310e-0ced-10feed03d6cf/VM_SRV_COMUNICA/VM_SRV_COMUNICA.vmdk". Verify the path is valid and try again.
La máquina me da igual, ya he restaurado un backup de hace unos días y está operativa, pero necesitaría recuperar algunas carpetas de documentos y de outlook para dejar el sistema exactamente igual a como estaba.
He intentado volver a crear una nueva máquina y no inicia, he intentado mapear el disco con el workstation y me dice "error reading volume information. please select another disk file", he intentado montar una unidad con el vmware-mount.exe y da error "unable to mount the virtual disk. the disk may be in use by a virtual machine or mounted under another drive letter. if not, verify that the disk is a virtual disk file, and that the disk file has not been corrupted."
Los ficheros vmdk los puedo copiar, no me da ningún error. Doy por hecho con ello que no hay un error físico del SSD.
Si se les ocurre algo. Gracias.

Uninstall VMWare Workstation 14 Player and all VMs
I can't get VMWare Workstation 14 Player to run on my Windows 10 PC - it crashes with [msg.log.error.unrecoverable] VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vthread-8)
I've decided that VMWare doesn't suit my purposes and want to completely remove it. However, that means I need to remove all virtual machines too (there's only one: Ubuntu). How do I remove the virtual machines without starting Player? (Don't worry about my losing data - it's never been stable enough for me to generate anything worth keeping).
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Re: The system cannot find the file specified.
I created 'mdServer-000006-s022.vmdk' by copying 'mdServer-000007-s022.vmdk' and attempted to clone 'mdServer-000006.vmdk'.
The process almost immediately returns: "Failed to convert disk: The specified virtual disk needs repair (0x3e86)."
If 000003.vmdk is more recent than 000007.vmdk, should I copy-paste 000003-s022.vmdk to000006-s022.vmdkinstead of000007?
Thanks!

vSphere 5 Essentials license
I have 2 esxi host in a cluster. if one esxi host down or power off then vms will move to another esx host . ? i have VMware vSphere 5 Essentials Licensed for 2 physical CPUs (unlimited cores per CPU). I'm not sure if the license supports.
↧
Re: vSphere 5 Essentials license
As per the link VMware vSphere 6 Editions Overview - Thomas-Krenn-Wiki, vSphere Essentials license does not support vSphere HA and vMotion. Therefore when a host is down or powered off, the VMs will stay on the same host in powered off state.
Cheers,
Supreet

Re: The system cannot find the file specified.
It's most likely not an issue with the replaced file, but with another .vmdk file.
To find out which of the files has/have issues, please extract the metadata from these files.
To do this, download dsfok.zip from http://faq.sanbarrow.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=47&id=111&artlang=en, extract the executables, run the below mentioned command in the VM's folder, then compress/zip all the "xxx-....bin" files and attach them to a reply post
for %i in (*-s???.vmdk) do @dsfo.exe "%i" 0 1536 "xxx-%~ni.bin"
To make live easier, and reduce the search time for me, please start the following cloning commands, and let me know which of them throws the mentioned error.
vmware-vdiskmanager -r mdServer-000006.vmdk -t 1 mdServer-Clone6.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -r mdServer-000003.vmdk -t 1 mdServer-Clone3.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -r mdServer-000001.vmdk -t 1 mdServer-Clone1.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -r mdServer-000007.vmdk -t 1 mdServer-Clone7.vmdk
vmware-vdiskmanager -r mdServer-000002.vmdk -t 1 mdServer-Clone2.vmdk

Re: Uninstall VMWare Workstation 14 Player and all VMs
Welcome to the Community,
Virtual machines are comparable to documents, i.e. if you don't need them anymore, simply delete them from the disk.
Note that by default all of a VM's files (e.g. .vmx, .vmdk, ...) are stored in a folder, so you may want to delete the VM's folder to get rid of a VM.

What is the meaning of "PSE" for the exam 2V0-621 PSE
I have found some answers like:
1. PSE stands for Partner, Students & Employees. this exam (VCP510PSE) can be taken by Partner, Students & Employees.
2. PSE stands for 'Professional Services Engineering' which is part of 'VMware Global Technology Solutions'.
But in none case I could fine a valid answer from VMWare. Also I would like to know if taking 2V0-621 PSE may be needed to take vSphere Foundations to get the VCP-DC?
