Hello,
i would like to ask if anyone has successfuly tested any solutions that would improve printing/scanning in a virtual desktop environment.
We are testing View 5.1 at one of our customers and we are experiencing a big delay in printing/scanning (>20sec per job even in a LAN environment).
In the final configuration this should work properly over WAN....
Did anyone face similar issues?
Thank you in advance!

Hello!
I'm a VCP5 certified instructor currently assigned to a working IT Accademy. For the courses we make our own teaching pods. For these pods I downloaded the necessary software components - like ESXi, vCenter - from vmware.com. Now I tried to donwload the newer Update1 versions from these sotware, but vmware.com says that ma evaluation period is over.
My question would be that from where can I donwload VMware software as a VCP5?
Hi all
Apologies if something similar has been posted elsewhere, but I'm getting pretty desperate.
We're trying to get some datastore readings back from a VCenter (VSphere?) instance, able to get everything back except for anything datastore related. I'm not sure if it could be due to permissions, but seeing as I'm able to get any other reading back, I kind of doubt it. If it is permissions that would actually make my life considerably simpler, but on to the info:
Using PowerCLI, I'm able to connect to a VCenter isntance. If I do, say, get-inventory, that works fine. if I do get-datastore however, I get this:
Get-Datastore : 11/06/2012 10:04:24 Get-Datastore Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At line:1 char:14
+ get-datastore <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-Datastore], VimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_BaseCmdlet_UnknownError,VMware.VimAutomatio n.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.GetDatastore
I've tried different combos of this as well, like:
get-vmhost -name <NAME_OF_ESX_SERVER> | get-datastore
I've also tried using Python, error being more or less similar to the above.
At this point, I'm inclined to say that the datastore stats just aren't available for whatever reason, but as to why I have no idea. I'm not the admin on the VMWare side of things, I'm just trying to implement some monitoring for it.
Can anyone perhaps suggest anything we might need to try? Should the user I use to connect with perhaps be granted admin or admin-like rights? Should I try a different command? Different version of PowerCLI (using PowerCLI Component 5.0 build 544967)?
The ESX version I believe is VMware ESXi 4.1.0 build-381591.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Hello to everybody.
I have a problem with a 5 server ESXi.
I installed version 5.0.0, 469512, and when I try to do the upgrade to version 5.0.0, 623860 trough cd I get an error message like this:
/ vmfs/volumes/471b7e73-19c1a481.101c.f6316bc88971/state.280628 LOCAL.TGZ and stops the update.
The installation of ESXi is on a 49gb disk ssd intel.
How can I fix? Thank you.

Hi,
I need your help in understanding the network environment in vSphere. Please look the below diagram and text:
NIC#1 – Management Port (Access it from vsphere client, vCenter server)
NIC#2 – VMkernal Port (For iSCSI, vMotion etc)
NIC#3 - ?
NIC#4 – ?
Q1 How do I allow the external users to access the services over ESX hosts? (e.g., IIS, FTP, Exchange, NFS)
Q2 What will be the role of remaining two NICs? Will it be connected to the physical switch?
* Request you all to please help me by sharing your knowledge / experience on the networking part you’ve done in your environments like how many NICs, what to do with that. *
I really need to undertand the networking concepts in vSphere, hope to receive your help!
Regards: Yash
Hi,
we have vSphere 4.1.0 build 345043 and vCenter Server 4.1.0 build 258902. When I switch to the Datastores view / Performance tab, I don't see any option to change the time range and so we can view only last 60 minutes in real-time view. However the screenshots here show this option. Does anynone know what needs to be done to get the option?
Thanks a lot!
Do anyone know if it is common in big companies to separate systems by building separate vmware
clusters for separate sensitive systems/information? Like financing bussines?
There is a risk with systems with sensitive information to share environment with other systems. You can access system A to get
sensitive information in system B. How can you separate sensitive systems/information in a virtual environment? Shuld you Build separate vmware clusters?
Hi Team,
We have configured VCenter Syslog collector in VCenter server which is running fine. All the syslogs are collecting from Esxi . Now due to one application requirement we want this vCenter to forward all the logs to other appliance .
Can we configure such kind of forwarder in VCenter server
Hi
I want create user or role for monitoring team that use SNMP traps to monitor esx hosts and VMs ; please help
how should I creat this roles ; which permission must assign to this new account or role ???
I have a doubt about behavior of HA.
I thought that on the cluster esx5 (for example 2 nodes) when one node is down (for example failure node) the virtual machine hosted on the node that is down are moved in the survivor node without reboot.
Instead I look that if I power off a node esx, vmware move the machine but reboot also the machine, so is not as vmotion , where the machine is always alive (excluding one ping)...
It's true?
Thank's
Hi Community,
my VCM content wizard fails after downloading XML files to c:\PrgramData\CM\Content\ with the error: Invalid URI (see screeny).
Ive set the two reg keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHNE/SOFTWARE/Configuresoft/ECM/4.0/Common/DataAccess:
DatabaseName = Hostname
DatabaseUser = VCM
Is that configuration right or is that the reason for my trouble, maybe?
thanks in advance,

I have created a ks.cfg file to install and configure our 200+hosts to ESXi 5.
All is good.
But we have a rule that LUNs must not be visible during installation, so we don't overwrite/wipe data ..
I have tested the example from "VirtuallyGetto.com" (http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/04/disable-lun-during-esxi-installation.html?showComment=1339399089304), but it doesn't work for me, the LUN's are still visible during installation.
esxcli storage core claimrule add -r 2012 -P MASK_PATH -t transport -R fc
I need a solution to unmask all FC storage during installation, can anyone help me.
LUNs are placed on HP CX4 and EMC VPLEX/VMAX.....

Hi,
A customer is requiring us to rename all ESX 5.0U1 servers and guest VMs to comply with a new naming standard. I am generally unconcerned about the majority of guest VMs but this would involve us having to rename the ESXi hosts and the Vcenter server/SQL VM.
We have 1 x 3-node cluster and 2 x 2-node clusters snd Vcenter and SQL in 1 VM on the 3-node cluster.
As far as the host go would I need to "de-cluster" and remove from inventory before renaming at the console and restarting the mgt network?
As far as the Vcenter/SQL I haven't a clue other than re-creating th VM.
Hi, I have a VM 2003 server running on a ESXi 5.0 server. This VM was created using Vcenter Converter, all is right but the fax service was not able to send faxes. The modem was a usb agere modem-fax and I could configure vm adding the usb device. The modem diagnostics were succesfull but the fax service was not able to send.
To discard problems of compatibility I purchased a USRobotics external serial modem and I attached it to the ESXi host COM1.
The problem sending faxes is similar, I have sent only one and that was after configure the buffers of port COM1 setting to low.
After send this one fax the service are not able to send faxes again, I'm exasperated.
¿There is something special to configure on vmware (parameters) to provide a serial port equal as the original physical machine?
Thanks
Hi,
i want to install a Windows 7 64Bit Guest with EFI on my new esxi5 (newest Build 70xxx) Server.
I have created the new VM, assigned cpu, ram, hdd, changed the firmware from BIOS to EFI and set the CD/DVD Rom to use installation image (.iso file) from my Datastore.
When i now start the vm, EFI is loading but doesnt starts from the dvd image. On the console windows i can read something like
"EFI try boot from cd/dvd drive.... unsuccessful"...
then the efi shell starts.
When i go to the efi boot manager ans select as next boot value the cd/dvd drive, i can read for ~500ms the same text "EFI .... cd/dvd drive.... unsuccessful" and the efi shell is back.
when i use "Bios" as firmware, everything works fine and the windows setup starts, but i want to install it with efi firmware.
any suggestions?
