Re: Unable to complete manual installation
Can't get shared folders working in any linux guest
I've tried different linux guests all seem to have the same issue with sharing folders and drag/drop feature. I've reinstalled numerous times. Sharing is enabled. Issue is with Workstation 15 Pro and Ubuntu based guests. Can anyone point me in a direction to get this working? Thanks in advance.
Re: Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe.
I had the the same problem, and tried the steps recommended by other users such as uninstalling and re-installing, going to System Preferences, ensuring Full Disk Access and Accessibility is allowed. None of that worked.
I am running the latest update Mojave on a late 2013 27" iMac and VMWare Version 11.0.3 (12992109)
What worked for me:
- First, uninstall VMWare completely.
- Check this directory in Terminal: /Library/StagedExtensions/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts
- If you see all the VMWare kexts there, then follow the steps below. You will not be able to delete these even with sudo
- Reboot to Recovery (CMD+R)
- Make sure your Macintosh HD (or main HD) is mounted (check in Disk Utiltiy). This will not be automatically mounted if you are using APFS with encryption.
- In the Utilities menu, open Terminal
- Enter this command:
cd /Library
- Folowed by:
rm -rf ./StagedExtensions/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app
Now restart and re-install VMWare. The broken pipe error should now be fixed. The reason this is happening is that in the later versions of Mojave, the kexts are blocked and moved to StagedExtensions instead of being installed.
How to find the VMware Update Manager source from the VCSA appliance
I have 2 VMware 5.5 environments.
PROD:
VCSA V5.5.0 U3d 3721164
Name: SM_VC
VMware update server-
Name: SM_VUP
OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
DR:
VCSA V5.5.0 U3d 3721164
VMware update server-
<I cannot find this server>
How can I find the details of the VMware Update Manager server for the DR site? Is it running on the local VCSA or as a separate server?
Thanks.

Re: How to find the VMware Update Manager source from the VCSA appliance
VCSA 6.5 and later comes with inbuild VUM. All prior versions needs a external VUM running on a Windows system.

Re: How to find the VMware Update Manager source from the VCSA appliance
That's my problem, from the 5.5 system in DR I do not know which server is the Update Manager. I can't find any info in Google on how to find this info?
Re: After fedora 29 upgrades kernel 5.0.3-200.fc29.x86_64 vmmon and vmnet are not building
5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64
Fix above still works for this version.
Just had to recompile and install the same package again.
Sorry if this is obvious. It seems helpful to keep the discussion going, as Fedora keeps us prancing upon our fingertips with its ¨cutting-edge¨ releases.
Thanks again for the release.

Re: nsx-hyperbus in NSX-T where to activate or find it?
Thank you for your answer. Are you saying that the vib isn't part of the local control plane vibs that are packaged with nsx kernel files?
What I find strange is that if I compare my install with nsx-t hands on labs install I see:
- the esxi hosts in HoL do have nsx-hyperbus vib installed
- the manifest file in the nsx manager repository (in http://<nsx-manager-ip-address>:8080/repository/<target-nsx-t-version>/metadata/manifest) does show nsx-hyperbus vib in Hands on labs
- my install has none of these
Is there any specific know I should've turned on to say that my install should be "container-ready"? Licensing editions do not appear to indicate that.
Thanks

Re: How to find the VMware Update Manager source from the VCSA appliance
By query the API Browser at https://your_dr_vcsa/mob and than Retrieve Service Content(Invoke) -> ExtensionManager -> Click on more -> com.vmware.vcIntegrity -> Server. There i can see my registered VUM and which URL(so IP/FQDN is used).If you dont find com.vmware.vcIntegrity that your VUM isnt installed yet.
Ah.. if you use the old vSphere Client check if the Plugin is there and maybe you need to installed/enabled it. If your Client loose Connection to VUM the Plugin disapeers from the GUI.
BTW: vSphere 5.5 runs out of supportet in 9/2018.

Re: vCD 9.7 / The requested operation on VM "CentOS-7.6.1810" is not supported since the VM is in an inconsistent state.
OK i will try check logs.
Strange because this is related only to some specific VM template.

REST override or delete library item
Hi,
currently I'am testing around with the vSphere REST API in my evaluation trial.
I try to automatically create a template of an existing VM and then deploy a clone of this template on a weekly basis.
Creating this template and deploying is straight forward with the REST API. However, deleting an existing template, or at least overriding it, didn't work so far.
So the question is:
Is there a way of either override an existing template OR delete an exisitng template via the REST API?
I used the following REST calls:
For creating (POST): /vcenter/vm-template/library-items
For deploy (POST): /vcenter/vm-template/library-items/{item}?action=deploy
I would appreciate any support.
