Re: Reclaim the space of datastore
If I deleted 100-GB files of a VM (thin-provision), I must type the command to reclaim VMFS deleted blocks on thin-provisioned LUNs on ESXi version 5.5, right?

Re: Purple Screen on Cisco UCS server with ESXi 6.5 Build 5146846 (March 9, 2017)
Hello,
We have the same issue with HP DL360 G9 and the latest ESXi Custom ISO Build VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-OS-Release-5146846-HPE-650.9.6.5.27-May2017.
It occurs when a VM hardly stresses the vCPUs.
I have operated the Shift+R solution to revert to a previous build and it seams to work for me.
For us it's not a definitive solution because we can't keep our ESXi up to date in this way.
Have you got some answers from VMware about this issue?
Best Regards,
Alfredo

Re: raw mapped disks disconnecting randomly
FYI I did find the issue, it was a dodgy power cable :-(
I though I tested them all but this is a rare event in my experience where sometimes it works other times doesn't. Probably a loose connection.
Replaced and now everything works fine.
So nothing to do with ESXi :-)

Hi,
If you are not comfortable with command line, use svmotion if the vmdk sizes are not huge.

Thick Provision Eager Zeroed
Ciao a tutti sono un nuovo utente e sto studiando vmware. Quali sono i vantaggi nell'usare Thick Provision Eager Zeroed Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed e Thin Provision?
Perchè usare una modalità piuttosto di un'altra?
Quando è consigliabile usarle?
Dove posso trovare queste risposte in rete?
Trovo solo scritto cosa sono ma non dicono quando e perchè usare una piuttosto dell'altra
Spero in una risposta
Ciao!

Re: Suppress error message on Decision activity
Right, item1 is located in the workflow List path in guest, which is used by the workflow Check for directory in guest, which is used by your workflow.
The problem is that List path in guest (and other guest operations workflows) do not have their output exception binding set, so when some guest operation throws an error, you cannot just catch and not print the error message
The easiest way to fix it would be to modify these workflows and bind the output exception to some attribute. However, these workflows are sealed (as all out-of-the-box workflows) so you cannot edit them easily. One option would be to duplicate them and use the duplicated copies. Another option would be to write your custom workflows/scripting code to deal with the guest operations, using the existing workflows as a template (the code is not complex).

Moving VM from Windows host to Apple
Hello,
i want to ask the community what steps to do in order to move a windows host vm to MacOs.
The prerequisites are:
Windows 10VM on Windows 10 host. The VM is splitted into multiple files.
On MacOS i guess i need to install Fusion (?).
What should i do in order to move the VM to MacOS ? Just copy the folder over network ?
Should i clone it in 1 file or not ?
Are there any stumble blocks, except to say "I moved it" when migrating on MacOS ?
Thank you for your thoughts.

Re: Authentication Provider configuration using "vsphere"
Yes, vRO 7.3 should work with vSphere 6.0 as authentication provider. I just checked it in my lab, and was able to configure vSphere 6.0 GA as authentication provider without issues.
You can ignore API mismatch warnings.
Please attach the logs as files (screenshot is not complete). Also, please provide more info, like the vSphere build number, what was the authentication set to before you tried to change it to vsphere, screenshots with the steps you did to configure it, etc.

Re: Moving VM from Windows host to Apple
Yes, you need to install Fusion on the macOS host.
You have to add a .vmwarevm extension to the Windows folder of your Windows 10 VM on Windows 10. And just simply copy over to the Mac that entire folder. I used external disk instead of network copy but the difference is probably just the speed.
As for answering "I moved it" or "I copied it", from my experience, the difference between the two was one re-prompted for the Windows 7 key (my Windows 10 VM was an upgrade from a Windows 7 laptop converted to VM) and I just had to re-enter the original Windows 7 key to reactivate the Windows 10 licence. I think it was the "I copied it" that prompted for the key.

Re: Workstation 12.5.6 requires UAC when starting VM
I used to face this similar problem, albeit inconsistently, when I was using a Windows 8.1 host. Back then, I just didn't bother to find out what was wrong as it was not consistent.
You could try to look at the vmware logs at
%TEMP%\VMware\vmware-%USERNAME%
Maybe start with the vmware-ui-nnnn.log where nnnn is a process ID number.

Re: Workstation 12.5.6 on W10 (1703) and W7 Clients
I couldn't find anything in the vmx that would indicate a problem.
From the log files, when it tries to open the virtual hard disk of the VM

I don't know why VMware Workstation would use two different methods for the same VM.
In my VMs, DiskUtilW32IsATASSDDevice is used and if the VM is on SSD it reports the rotation rate as 1 and identify the virtual disk of the VM as Virtual SSD. If the VM is on hard disk, it reports the correct rotational speed (in my case a slow 5400 rpm disk).
Are your other virtual machines on the same U hard drive? Maybe it is the physical hard drive where the VM resides that is a problem.

No storage vmotion with ESXi 6.5 Host Client?
Hi,
I am using ESXi 6.5 as a standalone server on a HPE Microserver Gen8 (without vcenter) - just with the host client.
I am still in the evaluation mode, so all licenses should be there.
I am trying now to move a VM from one data store to another one. It is not possible to use storage vmotion without a vcenter? I am not able to find any option like this. Is there any other hint to do that storage vmotion ( do not have to be an online storage vmotion) - I will need it often.
I also power down the machine and try to move the folder manually from one data store to the other, but this takes a HUGE amount of time (hours for 15 GB).
Thanks for your helpl
regards
Chris

Re: What Is The Difference Between Eager Zero And Lazy Zero Thick Provision Disks?
you would provision eager zero'd when you need fast write performance. perhaps for a DB or an Exchange DAG. personally I have not used them all that much as the time laying them out is quite long and it is very intensive on your Shared storage.
