I had a very similar issue and required extensive support from VMware in which we had to manually delete the VM from vcenter, then delete the references to that vm within both the SQL and vCAC Postgress DBs. I recommend creating an SR and have vCAC engineers assist with resolution. Although note that i said *similiar* so please do not take this as a suggestion to start digging into those DBs, but only to reach out to VMware support

workstation 7.0 - trying to recover memory image from a suspended vm
i have a vm(Vista64) running on Workstation 7.0
i was working on the VM, and put it in a suspended state. shortly after i had a host system(Dell/Windows 7) freeze requiring a reboot of the host machine.
after the host system restart, the VM would not power up and i got the message: Your virtual machine did not resume because of an error. If you believe the error is correctable and you want to preserve the suspended state so you can correct the error after the virtual machine is powered off, select Preserve. To discard the suspended state, select Discard
I hit Preserve, saved all of the vmdk/vmss/vmx/vmem/nvrm/log files.
I can restart the VM and recover the vmdk/ data files. I am trying now (somewhat ambitiously I know) to recover the lost memory state.
i tried copying the saved vmss and vmem files over another suspended state with no success.
i found out about the vmss2core utility but it failed (both with vmss and vmem file) with the below error:
vmss2core Unrecognized .vmss file (magic f000ff53)
Anybody know what my next options might be from here?
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Re: CPU Configuration and load issues on Mac Mini
How much RAM do you have allocated to the two VMs, and what OS do you have running inside them? If there is a period of reasonable performance and a decline after some running time, my guess is that something is starting to swap to disk. It might be the guest OS that's swapping (if there is too little RAM available inside the VM) or it might be ESXi itself swapping if you've overcommitted the host by allocating too much RAM to the VMs (keeping in mind that ESXi itself will want ~2 GBytes of your 8 GByte host RAM). The latter situation can also be somewhat mitigated by ensuring that your VMs have VMware Tools (and particularly the balloon driver) loaded.
I agree that the overcommitment of processor cores should not cause any further degradation after a period of time that would not already be evident if the same workload were run as soon as the VM was powered on. That said, efficiently running 2 VMs with two cores apiece on a host with two cores (even four hyperthreaded cores) is going to require great care.
Good luck...

Re: Script to update all your hosts
$Baseline = Get-Baseline -TargetType host Get-VMhost | ForEach-Object { Set-VMhost -vmhost $_ -state maintenance Remediate-Inventory -Entity $_ -Baseline $Baseline -Confirm:$False Set-VMhost -vmhost $_ -state connected }
QQ I have below requirement :
1. On each cluster the all the hosts should be patched, one after the other.
2. Will the above run simultaneously for all host ,( in that case it will result in outage)?
3. I want to apply only "critical & non-critical" patches only ?
4. I would like to skip host which is already patched to latest , will it do that ?
Thanks

Re: A component of the virtual machine is not accessible on the host !
My environment is: two data centers, one data center A with a cluster of A1, another data center B has three clusters: B1, B2, B3,.
using vSphere client 5.1, the virtual machine can create success in any cluster, but call the Java API, can only be created successfully virtual machine on A1.
Of course, the B data center under the complex environment, with virtual machine of version 5.1、5.0, and virtual desktop.

how make a 4th USB port visible to the Virtual Machine using VMware workstation 10 or change the configuration on which ports are made visible amongst all the available ports.
Hi All,
I am using the VMware workstation 10 and running Windows 8 Enterprise edition. When I connect my Western digital 3.0 USB to one the four USB ports, the device is not accessible from guest VM but is visible to the Host OS.
I tried the other 3 USB ports and it is working fine. Looks like there is a limit on the number of USB ports that are accessible from the VM. Please clarify.
Also, Out of the 4 USB ports 2 of them USB 2.0 and 2 of them are USB 3.0 (SS). Currently both the USB 2.0s and one of the USB 3.0 port is visible to the VM.
If we cannot configure all the 4 ports, at least, I would like to pick and choose which port are made visible. How do I control that configuration? In this case, I would like to make both the USB 3.0(SS) ports visible and one of the USB 2.0 port. Please share your thoughts on how we could do that. Thank you!
Thank you for your time,
Ravikanth Chavali

Re: CPU Configuration and load issues on Mac Mini
I have 8GB of ram in the system running 2 OSX 10.9 VMs both allocated 4GB of ram.
Are you saying that if I have 8GB of ram that I should only give the VMs 6GB?
Also, do you have link for how to install the VM tools? I have never done that on my VMs.
Thanks for for your help!

Re: VIM insert mode problem with Ubuntu 14.04.1
Thanks for the link. I tried, but it still doesn't work.
Problem might be due to VM cause I don't have problems with using VIM in iTerm2 on my local machine, or VPN via SSH.
Its only when I SSH to the VM that causes VIM to break.

Re: CPU Configuration and load issues on Mac Mini
I'm running a Mac Mini 6,2 with the Core i7 processor and 16GB RAM, and I see behaviour similar to what you're describing here, especially if the VM is being run from the internal HDD (i.e. the POS that Apple shipped in the box). I routinely see OSX guest VMs slow down to a crawl or jam up entirely, and often require a reset of the VM in order to recover. As soon as the VM is rebooted, it runs relatively quickly again for a period before slowing down all over again. I put a lot of this behaviour down to disk latency. OSX appears to be a terrible guest, always thrashing around on disk and doing something akin to a defrag, which causes thin provisioned volumes to expand to 100% of their allocated size within a week or so. I installed a dual-disk kit and a Samsung Pro 256GB SSD to run two of my important VMs, and now these two VMs are seemingly never affected by the "slow down".
Other VMs running on the Apple-supplied 2.5" 5400RPM HDD routinely stall, jam up and otherwise exhibit infuriating delays, but I find that this can be reconciled with the I/O latency being displayed in the vSphere Client's performance graphs. When disk latency jumps over 100ms, I experience these "slow downs". It's probably well worth checking to see if this is happening on your Mac Mini. If not, then at least you've excluded it as a cause.

Yes. I missed it. Thank-you for pointing that out.
Now we're just waiting on an update from krd.

Host Integration to Active Directory
Hi, I am trying to locate any information on whether or not there is a vSphere licensing level requirement for AD integration for ESXi hosts. I found one of the online VCP5 books had answers for one of their practice questions stating that Enterprise Plus was a requirement along with vCenter Standard edition. Does anyone know for sure if that is true?
If so, would you happen to have any VMware license documentation that states that?
Thanks!

Re: No upgrade option from 5.5.0 to 5.5 U2
Could you follow the below steps and get the output of SSO version number:
To determine the version of SSO installed:
- Log in to the server where SSO is installed.
- Click Start> Run, type regedit, and click OK.
- Navigate to HKLM> SOFTWARE> VMware, Inc.> VMware Infrastructure> SSOServer.
- The InstalledVersion Key Name provides the version number of SSO installed. For more information, see the vCenter Inventory Service Revision Number table in the Additional Information section.
