CreateScreenshot_Task info tasks result differ in ESX4.x and ESX5.x
Hi,
In our product, we are calling CreateScreenshot_Task for taking the screenshot of the running VM and on the basis of its result we are transferring the png file to local machine so user can see the screenshot. It works fine with ESX4.x version of the hosts as the info returns the fully qualified path as result (e.g. /vmfs/volumes/4f43ef2a-a9ea500c-bd98-001517e84cdb/Vm.36/10.9.31.12-Vm-1-screenshot-3.png). But while executing the same task on ESX5.x, it taske the screeshot properly but the info does not returns the proper path (e.g. [datastore1] Vm.42/10.9.31.10-Vm-1-9.png) so transferring of the file fails as it does not have the correct path.
Is there any way to correct it on ESX 5.x?

Re: Use sendNavigationRequest to navigate to native vsphere views using htmlbridge?
I can't speak for nklein1, but that is what we are doing, which works in 5.5. In 6.0, however, the navigation works sporadically.

CLI shutdown?
It seems that you can't use the command line tools to remote shutdown an ESXi server (Dell R730 in my case) unless you have a paid license? Did I read the error messages correctly? I have a separate box monitoring the power in the room to avoid getting our crappy Tripplite UPS units to work with the ESXi box. I believe for that I need the paid license too. Or at least you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get it to work. At the moment all of my VM's power off when the UPS goes on battery, but I can't seem to get the R730 to be powered off cleanly.

Re: How to configure one client to launch multiple desktops ( at least 5 View RDP sessions) ?
You can use the passive mode in View Planner to connect to multiple desktops from one client. You will need the flexible mode of VP appliance. Also make sure that total VMs division with number of VMs is an integer division.

Re: update vmware tools check powerstate vm first
how can i refine this or maybe if the sleep timer is too short to all the vms to start up?
Simplest solution would be to put a while loop, checking the powerState.
e.g.
While (@(Get-VM -Name (Get-Content -Path "C:\vms2.txt") | Where {$_.PowerState -ne "PoweredOn" }).Count -gt 0)
{
start-sleep 30
}
also I need to check for suspended state VMs and wake them up as well
Either use not equal PoweredOn, or just add another clause for PowerState = Suspended.

Re: Scanner redirection with 6.0.2 FP
Peter,
The release notes for 6.11 advise caution when enabling scanner redirection due to a significant effect on consolidation ratios, to the point where the recommendation is to create a separate pool for users with scanner redirection enabled. Can you explain more about this please?
Thanks,
Geoff

Unable to Create Edge Gateway for Virtual Datacenter
Hello,
I am new to the vCD, when I tried to create an "Edge Gateway" for the virtual datacenter, it failed, saying:
Deployment of edge gateway PALEdgeGateway failed.
com.vmware.vcloud.fabric.nsm.error.VsmException: VSM response error (10105): Failed to publish configuration on vShield Edge. Failed to power on VM vse-PALEdgeGateway (66b92dc1-c973-4744-8c0e-88e2d2211eae)-0. (No host is compatible with the virtual machine.)
then I found this KB, suspecting that vShield Manager is not synced with vCD:
I followed the steps in this KB resolution, but still didn't work.
Does anyone have an idea ? Thanks a lot!

Unable to install VMWare Player nor Workstation nor anything
All seem to fail the same way with a message like:
Yet I have verified that the file exists and I can access it. What's the deal?
I had VMWare Player 6.0.5 and could not install/update VMWare tools. So I suspending my guest OS and restarted VMPlayer. It told me that there's a new VMWare Workstation 10.x something and did I want to update to it. OK, sure. It downloaded the update and tried to install. Said it needed to uninstall VMWare Player 6.0.5. Being suspicious I went and downloaded VMWPlayer 6.0.5 in case it messed up the install of Workstation 10.0. Of course, it did. So I tried to install Player 6.0.5 so I could get back to my suspended VM. I believe it said I couldn't install because I haven't rebooted. So I rebooted. Now I can't install Player 6.0.5 nor Workstation 10.0.0 or anything. They all fail about the same way saying the can't find an .msi file that I can find and access.
HELP!
BTW, you guys have way too many product and names making all of this confusing. What do I use? Player? Workstation? Spear? vCenter, Fusion. The list goes on and on. Don't try to give me list of "Well this is for that and that for this other thing". The point is there are too many products and it's too confusing. If you wish to tell me at all what the product structure is just limit it to the product I should be using. I have a Windows 7 box and would like to run Ubuntu desktop in a VM - that's all...
THanks.

p2v server 2012 r2 to vcenter 6
Is this currently supported? We run a 5.1 environment at the moment, but need to convert a customer in the future. I'd expect our new environment to be on 6.0.
If not, do you know if there will be issues converting to 5.1?

Re: Latest Yosemite Public Beta, 10.10.4 killed VMWare Fusion 7.1.1
Yup. On 10.10.4, I'm getting spinning beach balls even just configuring the settings, having installed a brand new BootCamp VM, before even loading the machine. It seems to be causing problems in Yosemite itself as well; other apps are stalling and stuttering (albeit nothing's crashed).
I run BootCamp directly from the partition. In the past (even pre-Yosemite itself) I've had the issue where the VM just grinds to a snail's pace (takes 20 minutes just to log out with no apps running); I've found that deleting the bootcamp VM from the machine library and recreating it solves that issue. This time it re-occurs much sooner; seems to happen if I let the Mac sleep for a long period with the VM running.
I know it's beta so caveat emptor but it's public beta so VMWare should be all over it.
I should add - I'm running on a mid-2011 iMac and using a second iMac (2009) as a second display via mini-displayport.

Output VM directory, filenames and sizes
Hi,
I am trying to get a listing of all Virtual Machine directories and the file names and the file sizes.
I have found scripts that would list the machine names and disks (i.e. C, D) of the guest but not the raw files, delta files and their sizes.
The reason I am trying to get this information is that the disk space on our 8.8 TB volume is constantly lower than I would have thought.
Any idea's or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Henry
