FAILED: Unable to obtain the lock on virtual disks
Hello,
Several years back I successfully converted a physical machine to a virtual with VMware's converter standalone tool. That was several versions back obviously. Now, I am trying to do the same thing and failing. I have been looking to see why it is happening.
FAILED: Unable to obtain the lock on virtual disks.
This is the error I am getting above.
Any advice is welcome. Verion of converter is 6.2.0 build-7348398
Thanks,
Nick

Clone vApp to Content Library times out and general system error occurs
Hi All,
I have vCenter 6.5.0.1 installed in a lab and have created a vApp that I'd like to clone a Content Library.
When I try to clone my vApp to the content library it ultimately times out and shows that there was "a general system error occurred".
1) Is this currently supported?
2) If so, how do I go about troubleshooting this?
Note: I was able to easily clone single VMs to templates in the content library then redeploy them into a vApp that I'm creating. It just seems I'm not able to clone the entire vApp to the Content Library.
Update: Now I can't deploy OVF templates after getting this timeout and general system error. I had to reboot VCSA to reset things and be able to deploy templates.

vcenter 6.0u3 and ballooned graphic
hello
For test i have esxi 6.0u3 with 32gb ram and two virtual machine vm1 and vm2 with with 20gb of configured ram
vm1 : 20gb ram
vm2 : 20gb ram
esxi can not support the full ram consumption load of both vm1+vm2
For the test I turned off shared memory and compressed memory on virtual machine, working only balloned+swap
Now I'm going to use 15gb of ram on vm1 and 15gb of ram on vm2, so esxi must find free ram.
Vmware start ballooned on vm to try to free ram from vm.
On graphics = vcenter - virtual.machine.1 - monitor - utilization - guest memory : appear yellow graphis for ballooned to 5gb
now the question!!
this metric on VM1: guest memory - balloned - 5gb ram --->>> is memory that vm1 did release to the esxi after vm1 has received a "command of balloon" from ESXI? to give the ram to vm2
OR
this metric on VM1: guest memory - balloned - 5gb ram --->>> is memory that vm1 have received to esxi who released through a Balloned run "command balloon" over vm2?
thanks

Debian Wheezy (Xen) - Cannot P2V LVM
I have a Debian Wheezy (Xen) box that I am trying to P2V. It converts fine, but it is not converting the LVM (using vCenter-Converter Standalone 6.2)
In 'Source Details' it states no usable volumes found on disk under logical volumes, however the output of vmware-sysinfo.sh does contain the volume Group information with the name, device path..etc.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Cannot load the contact details, because the server returned an error. Try again later.
Hi Everyone,
I'm having a problem with VMware support assistant 6.5 which is bringing up the above error message when I go to the Contact details tab of the 6.5 server. The precise current appliance version is
.5.0.0 Build 4969273.
I've tried reinstalling the support assistant and this comes up immediately after it's been installed for the first time.
Other than this, everything sees to work fine!
I don't have a proxy configured - I've read about a version 5.5. issue where this error is shown because of an unknown certificate on the proxy. The support assistant has a direct connection to vmware.com - which is the site it appears to be trying to get to when I do a packet trace on our firewall. And it actually has unrestricted access to anywhere on the internet.
Cheers,
Daniel Storey

How do I check where my Single Sign On is installed?
Hi all,
I inherited this vSphere environment recently and I need to use a different AD server for the vCenter. I wasn't given much info on this environment nor there is proper documentation. How do I find out where the SSO is installed?
Thanks

vSphere where is the DVSwitch and iSCSI SAN configs stored?
Hi all,
I have 3 ESXi hosts with one SAN, managed by a vCenter server. I have a DVSwitch configured with 3 uplinks.
This vCenter server has SSO and is integrated with a Windows Active Directory server which no longer exists. So right now, I am using this vCenter with local admin account to manage the hosts.
I am planning to build a new vCenter server appliance but I have a few questions:
- Where are these DVSwitch, iSCSI SAN, management pools configurations saved? In the hosts or in the vCenter?
- When I disjoin the hosts from the current vCenter and join them to the new vCenter server, will I lose all the config?
Thanks

Cluster Error: vMotion not supported by host
Hi!
I have a strange error:
When I try to vmotion a running VM from one cluster to another (Compute and Storage vMotion) the following errors are displayed:
The "Destination" host 'hostname' does not support vMotion.
com.vmware.vim.vpxd.vmcheck.vmotionNotSupportedByHost
The "Source" host 'hostname' does not support vMotion.
com.vmware.vim.vpxd.vmcheck.vmotionNotSupportedByHost
If the VM is powered off, it can be migrated.
Between the hosts of a cluster, a live migration is working well.
I'm sure that I have migrated VMs in the past sucessfully. The only thing I have done in the past was the update from VCSA 5.5 U3b to VCSA 6.0 U3.
I have tried all the suggestions from KB1003734 but nothing seems to be wrong. VMotion and DRS work perfectly, only to another cluster fails.

vCenter REST API 6.5 - VM Managment
I've been working on using the REST API but I found what seems to be a significant limitation. The /vcenter/vm/{vm} GET call requires the MoRef of the VM. However, there does not seem to be a way to get the MoRef based on VM name via any other REST call. Is this true? If so, this seems like the REST API is closer to a proof of concept than a production ready product. Hopefully I'm just overlooking something.

manually link windows vcenter 5.1 sql to vcsa 6.5
Hi All,
I had a few issues upgrading our existing Windows vCenter 5.1 to Windows vCenter 6.5 via 6.0 as a staged upgrade / migration.
After numerous hours of troubleshooting and no avail of resolution, i was forced to uninstall as much as possible off the physical vcenter 5.1 server (althouth vcenter 6 upgrade removed vcenter 5 in it's upgrade process)
I logged onto one of our ESXI hosts and manually unlinked it from the old vcenter and then deployed VCSA 6.5 as a clean / new install with a new FQDN/IP.
There were 4 hosts in a cluster on the old windows vcenter with distributed switches.
My question is:
1. Is there anyway to link / migrate the old windows vcenter 5.1 sql database to the new vcsa 6.5?
2. How do i migrate the distributed switches accross into the new VCSA when adding the hosts into the new vcenter?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You

vcenter6.5 创建虚拟机失败
我学习作业在物理主机上安装了一块SSD，并且在虚拟闪存→虚拟闪存资源管理中将他设置为虚拟闪存，在esxi6.5中也能识别到虚拟闪存。然后回到Vcenter6.5创建虚拟机，在虚拟机配置，硬盘配置时只要设置了虚拟flash read cache就会出现“找不到引用的对象或项目。”报错，只要不设置虚拟flash read cache就完全正常。请问我还要设置什么地方？或者有没有相关的学习教程。
然后我发现了一个问题，可能是我先前在esxi6.5的web管理页面的，高级设置 中设置了vflash相关键值导致在vcenter中的 虚拟闪存 → 虚拟闪存主机交换缓存配置 中无法设置，每次点击编辑输入任意容量保存之后都会跳出如下提示：

How to make a P2V conversion about a physical server connected to SAN
Hi, I would like to know if there is anyone who are asked to make a P2V conversion about a physical server connected to SAN. It is RHEL 5.7, boots from local disks, it also connects to the SAN for storing the Oracle database. I tried to search the official guide or other threads. But I did not find it yet. It is highly appreciated if you could list the specific instructions or attach a guidance. Many thanks.
Regards,
Alan
