Re: Windows 7 resolution issue

The other thread was regards to Workstation. I don't even bother to look at what that thread says.

 

While in general VMs between Fusion and Workstation settings are compatible/interchangeable (you can copy VMs between the two different platforms); there are some subtle differences and among them is the display settings.

 

Windows/Linux hosts handles high resolution displays and scaling differently from macOS. While Windows 10 has improved in handling display scaling, when compared to macOS it is still behind. One of the symptoms of how display scaling isn't good in Windows and Linux, whether in a physical machine or a VM, is sometimes you would see fonts in an application that is out of proportion in size to other screen elements such such as buttons; either one is too big or too small.


Re: UAG breaks after a few days. They break 100% of the time.

I greatly dislike when I find a forum post with no answer so I will answer what the final solution to this was.

 

I had done some digging into the UAG console and noticed the below messages. From what I had gathered the UAG has a built in mechanism that protects itself from DDOS type attacks. Our Citrix Netscaler Load Balancer health check was triggering this mechanism. So essentially the UAG thought the Load Balancer was attacking it so it shut itself down. The DosPreventionHandler kicked in. Port 4172 (PCOIP) remained open, existing users remained connected, but port 443 stopped accepting new connection. When I spoke to VMWare support they confirmed my suspicion.

 

 

The workaround is to set the below settings to 0 in the UAG.

 

Vmware Horizon Client shortcuts problems (Windows 7) when using with iPad Smart Keyborad

Hello. I’m currently using VMware Horizon Client with my ipad and my macbook, and I find it really useful.

But I have one problem .

I cannot use some of the shortcuts when I log in through my ipad.

(I’m using windows 7 as my operating software and iipad smart keyboard as main input device.)

 

—————————————————————————————

The examples of shortcuts I can’t use are as follows

1. Winodws key (I can use comman key on my macbook)

2. Ctrl and alt keys (Sometimes it recognizes it but doesn’t work in Excel)

 

Is there anyway I can use thes shortcuts when I log on with my iPad?

 

And plus, is there any other way to use right mouse click other than to tap two fingers? I’m suing apple pencil as clicking device.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

I will update with my new config file.  I did try adding the vendor and product id in hex code to the config file but the drivers just will not install unless it is plugged in after starting the VM.  Maybe only PnP drivers are working? 

 

Post my config asap, thanks for the time & help!

Well you guys have done well so far and come very far. And it is nice to be able to run different versions of the UAG at the same time. Thank you for your response

Re: Rhel 6 nic order with 4 network adapter or more

I wrote a small bash script to help solve this problem. You feed the script an index number representing the order in which the devices appear in the vmware console and the script responds with the name of the device that corresponds with that index number.  If I find any problems with it I'll keep a gist updated here: https://gist.github.com/logicalmethods/da1d89f8cfcfd58ad365e6ea98461f16

# Position numbers start at 0

    if [ -f $dir/label ] && [ $(cat ${dir}/label|tr -d '\n') == "Ethernet${NIC_INDEX}" ]

This could be done with PowerCLI. Is that something you'd be willing to use?

Data recovery password in vminst.log

After the installation is complete, either delete this log file or change the data recovery password by using Horizon Administrator."  However after preforming a silent install of Horizon 7.3.2 the password is not present in vminst.log (C:\ProgramData\VMware\logs).  Is this note just outdated from previous builds or is the password stored elsewhere?   MSI (s) (E4:00) [22:06:39:083]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding VDM_SERVER_RECOVERY_PWD property.

I've seen this before and I think the error code was the same. Can you post the error log snippet for confirmation?

If you don't mind, could you please upload a captured window image?

 

And you also can try below operation, to see if it will help.

1. Close the tab page.

2. When the dialog pops up, click the "run in background" button.

3. Open the VM again. (click that VM in the library)

Intel Xeon E3-1225v3 Dell T20 vs AMD FX-9590 custom build - Advice needed!

$

Hi all,

 

I have a Dell T20 Intel Xeon E3-1225v3, 32GB ECC un-registered RAM running ESXi with various VM's (Plex Server, Web Server, Cloud Server etc etc). My Plex server is heavily used and transcodes a lot as well as heavy use on 3 other VM's.

 

I have an AMD FX-9590 @ 5GHz as my personal computer, which I'm looking at replacing. This also has 32GB RAM 1866 (non-ecc) but the board does support ECC un-registered RAM (not that I really need ECC RAM).

 

My question is, is it a better option to replace the Xeon E3-1225v3 4 core T20 Server with my AMD 8 core @ 4.7 - 5 GHz? I'm assuming double the cores and speed difference between the 2 would be noticeable in performance?

 

I have a H700 Raid Controller which I would just move to the AMD build. Power consumption / noise due to water cooler isn't an issue.

 

Thanks!

Re: Question regarding VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-7070488.iso)

Need bit more information. So you are planning on deploying VCSA6.5 and migrate your ESXi hosts to it? Do you use DVS or VSS? If using VSS, you can easily disconnect from 5.5 environment and add to to 6.5. If you have to roll back, just disconnect from 6.5 and add it back to 5.5. Its a bit different is using DVS. But if you add a 6.5 host in VCSA 6.5 then you won't be able to add it to 5.5 vCenter.
