Update,
This can also be reproduced with 7Zip. Here are the settings:
Hi Phil,
I managed to reproduce the issue just now, based on your note (I think? I don't see it anymore, so maybe I dreamed it? :-) that the fonts might appear correctly initially, but then no longer show up a few minutes later.
I'll keep you posted on our progress -- thank you for your help so far!
vSphere Syslog Collector and vSphere ESXi Dump Collector are two services included in vecnetr server 6.5 to collect syslog and dumps sent from ESXi servers.
My 2 questions are:
1) Are the syslog and dumps replicated by vCenter High Availability to the passive vcenter?
2) Are the syslog and dumps backed up by the Native vCenter Server Backup function ?
Thanks in advance and regards

This morning I installed the MacOs update to 10.12.6 and Fusion 8.5.8 no longer loads my VM's.
Eventually I get an "Internal Error"
I redid it based on your suggestion and the site:
function addDays(date, days) {
var result = new Date(date);
result.setDate(result.getDate() + days);
return result;
}
var future_date = new Date();
var date_start = 1;
var date_range = 30;
var date_range_array = new Array();
while (date_start <= date_range){
var new_date = addDays(future_date,date_start);
System.log(date_start);
System.log(new_date);
date_start++;
}
This seems to fix my issue and give me what i need.
Odd but ill take it
Thanks again for the help!
Unfortunately, the cron jobs are still not running.
My latest attempt looks like this:
root@VCENTER [ /tmp ]# crontab -l
0 * * * * /bin/bash /usr/bin/touch /tmp/a_command_has_run999
I noticed in the VCSA GUI that Bash was disabled. I enabled it (count down timer ensued), but didn't make a difference.
I have no evidence it tries to run.
This seems like a common task, but if it's documented anywhere I can't find it.
I'm new to VMWare. We've got a VMWare server that's hosted by a 3rd party. I need to install Windows Server 2012 on a virtual machine on that server.
All the documentation I've been able to find talks about booting the virtual machine from the CD-ROM. The physical machine is 400 miles away, so I've got no access to the CD-ROM.
I've seen hints in articles that this can be done from a Windows ISO, but...where do I put the ISO? Since Windows isn't installed yet. it's not as if I can park it in C:\Temp. And how do I make the ISO accessible during the bootup of the virtual machine?
Hello
Sorry for late answer because I was on vacation
I have checked and there is only one vmrc.exe on default path installed from MSI: C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console
I have create new account / profile, logged on into same computer and try only from Web Console after choosing VM and click onto launch remote console from summary tab.
Same error: Unable to connect to the MKS: Could not connect to pipe \\.\pipe\vmware-authdpipe within retry period.
I have checked console version and it was 10.0.0 build-5606693 so I was checked for updated version and installed last one: 10.0.1 build-5898794 and tried once again.
Same error: Unable to connect to the MKS: Could not connect to pipe \\.\pipe\vmware-authdpipe within retry period.
I have also trying to run vmrc.exe from command line passing vmrc url:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Remote Console>vmrc vmrc://esxvc6.domain.tld:443/?moid=vm-490
Same error: Unable to connect to the MKS: Could not connect to pipe \\.\pipe\vmware-authdpipe within retry period.
Just installed on new Windows 7 computer VMRC 10.0.1 and same error with few different users.
It is possible some kind of problem with certificate because on first vmrc run I've got message about invalid security certificate and turn on check box: always trust this host with this certificate (it is virtual centre 6) and click onto connect anyway button.
Freezed, confused
Kind regards

So, indeed, this is related to DirectFlex. Specifically, the fontdrvhost.exe process does not seem to like the fact that we inject our FlexHook*.dll (which we do as soon as DirectFlex is enabled -- it does not matter for which Flex config file.)
So, DirectFlex blacklist to the rescue: adding fontdrvhost.exe to the blacklist seems to keep the webfonts working perfectly fine in my test setup. To configure this, create a Blacklist.xml file in ...\General\FlexRepository\DirectFlex folder (which does not exist by default), with the following content:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<userEnvironmentSettings>
<setting type='blacklist' list='fontdrvhost.exe'/>
</userEnvironmentSettings>
The attachment contains this XML file with the correct folder structure. If you already have this Blacklist.xml file, just update its list attribute by adding |fontdrvhost.exe at the end of the current value (note the '|' (pipe character), which acts as a separator).
As it took me a while to reproduce the issue, I'd highly appreciate it is someone can test this fix. Thanks!
I have a similar problem, however the error message is this:
A general system error occurred: Disk is not mounted on this host
Because I took away the disks before make the scale down from vCenter, therefore I can't remove the disk group.
Someone can tell me how can I fix this issue?
Thanks!
ESXi 6 with a Windows 7 (64-bit) with VMXNET 3 adapter guest running on it. The guest keeps dropping the default gateway. I can boot into safe mode with network, set the networking up, confirm that it is working (can get out to internet from the guest). Reboot/ restart the system and upon restart the guest wipes the default gateway information out and switches the IPv4 connection (not currently using IPv6) to DHCP and/or wipes the default gateway information out.
I'm open to any tips on how to get this VM to take the static IP configuration that it should be using (and keeping).
This workaround is still useful with vCSA 6.5.0e. Entering the
"::1 localhost.localdom localhost" >> /etc/hosts
command when the installer showed 5% meant that the installation succeeded.
Thanks UEMdev that did the trick!
Best thing you can do is write a vRO workflow that recreates those property groups but with visibility as All Tenants.
And I found the fix in this article:
Does it persist after a reboot?
If so, does re-installing Fusion help?
You shouldn't have to uninstall the drivers. Have you filed a support ticket? There might be a bug here we need to investigate.
thank you, the PowerCLI one liner without a filter helped list all host UUIDs
Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,hardware.systeminfo | Select-Object Name,@{N="UUID";E={$_.hardware.systeminfo.uuid}}
LucD,
That works! Thanks!!!!!

Hello,
Your issue sounds different from original post here.
Anyway, what are you trying to do here, remove disks/disk-groups?
When you SSH to the host, what is the output from:
# vdq -q
# localcli vsan storage list
"Because I took away the disks before make the scale down from vCenter"
Not sure what you mean by this.
