Those values are passed from $VM.Name and $VM.Mac from the CSV import
I'll try adding some debug logging in the combined script - because it does indeed work when run standalone.
thanks!

Most likely there exists a lck-file with the same name inside the directory of the VM.Remove those lock files or directories - sometimes you must do this as administrator.

did you provide the full path to vmware-vdiskmanager.exe ?

Adding more than one virtual machine to an existing Vapp
Hi
I have created a Vapp ovf and deployed it to create 4 VMs.
I want to add 2 more VMs to this Vapp using a new ovf (single ovf should deploy 2 machines).
If I create a new Vapp ovf (containing new VMs),it creates a new Vapp and doesn't create VMs in existing Vapp.
If I do not include Vapp in my ovf, it deploys one machine only to the existing Vapp.
I do not want to create machines and drag drop them to intended Vapp.
Could somebody please suggest a way to do this?
I am using Venter VCSA 6,ESXI 6.0

Re: Auto suspend when host reboots?
As far as I know this feature is just a bluff.
I lost a lot of work because all open VMs were switched off when Windows did reboot after automatic updates.

vRA forms - Composite Types & Dynamic types
Hello,
Hoping someone else is doing crazy things with vRA that might be able to help with this.
I've been trying to find a way to pass a data structure like the below from vRA through to vRO:
An array of:
Name (string or DynamicType)
Size (number)
... where Name is based on a prepopulated selection. For example, Sandwiches - I need 3 Cheese & Tomato Sandwiches, and 15 Ham Sandwiches.
I can do this within vRO by setting the Name as a Dynamic Type - and this works well. However, when this is pulled into vRA the Array is cast into a Map control - but only shows the Size property. Any dynamic types here seem to disappear (presumably because there's isn't a suitable control within the Map - as far as I can tell, there is only a control for String, Number and Date).
When using an array of the Dynamic Type, the control only shows the Name of the dynamic type object.
Ideally what I'm after is something like the control within Storage when requesting a standard Blueprint.
I've had various ideas - e.g. using Name as a combination of Name-Size, but this means creating an item for every possible combination (lots!) and so having a large number of rows for selection. Also using multiple single-dimension arrays populating another - but this relies a on order. Using the sandwich example - adding 3 in the first control, then adding Cheese & Tomato in the second - the combination of which populates the 3rd control.
Hope that makes sense. Any ideas welcome!
Cheers,
Jon

Re: Backup Solution: From Vcenter - NAS -Other Server (Disaster Recovery).
Re: Backup Solution: From Vcenter - NAS -Other Server (Disaster Recovery).
Thank you,
.
Ok, here is what I did:
I created a ISCSI in the NAS (It is a QNAP), I mean target and LUN. Then in the Vcenter, I made the settings in order to see the the LUN. Everything seems to be fine but when I try to add Storage, no LUN appears, so I can't add it..
I created the VMKernels, the Software adapter, and in static discovery set up the Target and iSCSI Server Location correctly.
I appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Re: Checking NTP/DNS Report
Oops, forgot that one.
Try like this

Re: Serial ports
In theory you should just need to set this parameters in the vmx-file:
serial0.present = "TRUE"
serial0.fileType = "device"
serial0.fileName = "COM1"
serial0.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"
serial0.autodetect = "FALSE"
serial1.present = "TRUE"
serial1.fileType = "device"
serial1.fileName = "COM2"
serial1.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"
serial1.autodetect = "FALSE"
serial2.present = "TRUE"
serial2.fileType = "device"
serial2.fileName = "COM3"
serial2.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"
serial2.autodetect = "FALSE"
serial3.present = "TRUE"
serial3.fileType = "device"
serial3.fileName = "COM4"
serial3.tryNoRxLoss = "FALSE"
serial3.autodetect = "FALSE"
Thinprint uses different parameters for serial0 - so Thinprint MUST be disabled.
Now comes the part you will not like:
last version of Workstation with which I could really use 4 serial ports in a XP-VM is Workstation 6.5.4
I never managed to do the same with later versions so I assume the feature is broken and never has been fixed.

Re: Backup Solution: From Vcenter - NAS -Other Server (Disaster Recovery).
Sorry I didn't explain well why i wanted to create a LUN in the SAn and add storage in the Vcenter. I am trying to add some storage from the SAN and then create a datastore in the Vcenter, once I do this, I will implement the VDP and backup the data to the new DATASTORE create from the SAN.
Thanks!

Re: Operating system not found on my virtual machine (exchange server) HELP!!!
The attached files are empty and your screen shot does not show the full name for some files. Please fix that.
One of the things I usually check when I see this error is to boot the VM without changing anything in the config into a LiveCD.
From the LiveCD I then check the partitiontables (maybe the disk is no longer bootable because a flag is missing) and presence of boot-files like BOOTMGR or NTLDR.
Please avoid doing the same checks with a second VM !!!

Re: Redirect laptop keyboard and mouse to VM?
I don't currently have ESXi installed and running on my system, so I can't check, but do you know if it is possible to pass through the ISA bridge/LPC controller? After doing a bit of reading, it seems like that's the bus that handles built-in keyboards and touchpads. If I can enable passthrough for this device to a VM, it should work . . .

Re: New-SCSIController, issue adding new SCSI when connected to ESX or Vcenter
Hi,
Apologize for the delay. I tried checked the output of defaultviservers and it does in fact show both the vcenter and the esx server I have connected to. After doing that, I still get the following message:
"New-ScsiController The operation for the entiry "my_vm" failed with the following message: "Access to resource settings on the host is restricted to the server that is managing it: 'x.x.x.x'.""
Where x.x.x.x is the ip of the vcenter I am connected to.
Pretty stuck at this point, any suggestions on how to move forward with this?
Thanks,
Andy

Re: TempDB full... but it's not full
The question here is not about how much space you've inside that VM, but how much data is modified after you take the snapshot... if data is changed frequently, the snapshot will grow.

performance data skipped or missing
I got a VM that is missing performance data from vcenter
