When I try to download 6.5.0 I get a message saying:
You either are not entitled or do not have permissions to download this product.
Check with your My VMware Super User, Procurement Contact or Administrator.
Fairly new to this, not sure what I am missing.
If I can get to 32Gb ram on each device, may I be able to do it? Or do i have a bottle neck with my processor?
Nobody talks about that this Host is managed by a vCenter. The OP ask if VCSA can run on vSphere Hypervisor.... yes for sure.

I wasn't talking about that, but RajeevVCP4 was implying that. I'm simply clarifying that ESXi free edition isn't the same thing as leaving the host in evaluation mode.
If you can get to 32 GB I'd say you have a fighting chance.
I have no idea what I'm doing. I've had versions VMWare Fusion for about 8 years but I really don't have the knowledge about how to troubleshoot these things.
I upgraded to 10.1.6 today and the screen is now black. I don't know if I have to reload Windows 10 and all the applications I use on it or if it is a matter of searching for a Virtual Machine or something else.
Please help
Thank you
How many cores are in each cpu, if its not at least 4 you'll have alot of issues. If its only 2 you can only have 2 virtual vpus scheduled at the same time, and thats not thinking about the OS. I have a lab I run on a quad core laptop with 32gb of memory and without a lot of tweaking, I peg all 4 cores pretty easiliy. The other issue could be disk io, one ssd thats shared with the os may cause issues, I have two samsung 860 evos in mine and they can't keep up.
The only suggestion I can make is try to use the very mimimum resources for every vm, on thing thats not supported but I know that works is after you install the vcenter appliance is to dial it back to 1 cpu and 5gb of memory, the minimum to deploy it is 2 cpu and 10gb of memory. It takes for ever to start and may be too much if you add integrations like veam and other things, but I know at least for me it works at that amount.
You could use on aline solution like Ravello Service | Oracle Cloud as well, you can run nested esxi hosts and you pay by the hour. You can just shut everything down when your done. Sorta ruins the fun of a home lab a bit though because you can't use the resources in it from home.
I did the same but it does not seem to survive VCSA updates...which is almost the only time I reboot it.
What is vmci.sys useful for? Is it possible to install the correct vmci.sys by running the inf-file located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\vmci\device\Win8 ?
Hi arazvalizada,
The VM requires consolidation so check this link for how to identify and action: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2003638
I’d normally say ensure you have a good and tested backup before doing this but as your backup system has got you in this state that might not be possible. Maybe consider taking a Windows Server Backup copy if you have time and space?
Kind regards.
I think the issue is fixed in Workstation 15.1. You can update it.
Hello,
I have a Windows 7 Pro VM that I use all the time and am experiencing a lot of choppiness.
When the VM boots up, it usually takes a few minutes for the choppiness to stabilize. I've noticed recently however, that its been a lot more choppy during normal use and its becoming harder and harder to do regular work.
I also run several Linux VMs and haven't experienced these issues with those.
What could be going on? Please help!
Hi,
I have been working with the VMtocloud vRO DNS (http://www.vmtocloud.com/how-to-integrate-windows-dns-with-vra-7-x-part-ii-delete-dns-record/) removal workflow using EBS and had this working for single machines being destroyed. It is not working effectively when multiple machines are destroyed at the same time, say out of a batch of 3 only one DNS record will delete.
After looking into it I have found this error; Error in (Workflow:Create temporary directory in guest / Scriptable task (item1)#8) The operation is not allowed in the current state. I have noticed on the one where it actually works, the workflow pauses for sometime at the improved sleep step and then moves on, however in the others they error a couple of seconds after being triggered. It seems as though the temp directory isn't being passed into the workflow. I'm actually quite new to all of this and would really like to know how to make this better, has anyone here used this workflow before and had this issue?
I am sure I am missing some critical information in this post, I have attached the worflow run logs as well as the run script in guest logs.
Dear Continuum,
I did as you suggestion (backup -> copy Virtual Disk-s014.vmdk to Virtual Disk-s003.vmdk), but still in problem.
When I run VMWare after copy file, Window says, "Preparing for automatic recovery", and then I got a blue screen with words: "Auto Recovery was unable to recover your PC".
There were two options in the screen: 'shutdown system' and 'advanced option'.
In advanced option, I can choose one of the four options including 'continue', 'device usage', 'problem solving', and 'shutdown'.
Unfortunately, any option can run Window in a normal way.
I can't anything with it and this make me frustrated.
Do I have to reinstall Window in VMWare?

Hey, I have a new idea. I have see some of people can passthrough their gtx gpu at esxi 6.7. But their cpu is xeon or the motherboard is using x99 chipset. Are you using consumer verson cpu or motherboard? Maybe the problem is the motherboard and cpu support. The pci reset method also need cpu or chipset support?? I am using i5-6500 and ASUS B150M-A/M.2 and try to passthrough GTX 1660 with no luck to keep it works after vm reboot. I want to try the x299 with i9-9900x. If it is works, I will report to you. If not, I will move on kvm.
Dear a.p.
The reason I use VMWare is that there's some programs not run properly in MAC OS.
So I used VMware when I need to run the programs in Window occasionally, not frequently.
It means that usual usage of MAC have no problem.
But as your suggestion, I also have run 'dist utility' app to check my hardware, no problems were observed.

The guestOS that I am running is 18.04.2.
I am sure that the ip is assigned from the outside-DHCP-server.
It looks like something happened in VMNet and the 2 VMs are considered as the same outside the VMWare ESXi.
I just tested on 16.04 as well.
It looks the ip-allocation on 16.04 is perfectly great～
but not on 18.04
You only need a my VMware account to create an SR which you would have needed for the trial. Either call (877) 486-9273 or submit one online and they should be able to help you out. Alternatively you can determine who your local rep is and contact them.
