Hi,
after a few weeks we have a verly large /usr/local/tcserver/vfabric-tc-server-standard/um/logs/catalina.out File.
We can see a lot of DEBUG messages in it.
How can we configure that?

What is the specification of the free included utility server in a horizon air tenant?
The Horizon Air Service Description (As of the time of this writing on 05/09/2016) describes the following allowance on utility servers:
"Horizon Air VMs are intended for use with desktop and terminal services applications. Special exemption is provided for customers who wish to use a VM instance as a utility server (s.a. domain controller, active directory server, DHCP relay or file server). 1 VM in the tenant may be used as a utility server without drawing from the desktop quota purchased. Any additional utility servers will count towards the desktop quota purchased by subtracting the total CPU and Memory resources consumed for utility service as expressed in terms of whole number of desktops from the total VMs purchased. "
By default, this free VM designated for usage as a utility server under the terms of use described is built with the Advanced Desktop specification. As noted in the service description, you can adjust that specification by drawing from from the purchased desktop quota.to increase the size of this free VM, or to create additional utility servers.

Adding custom objects to vCenter Inventory
Hi,
I've tried this in the webClient Forum, but was told to submit the discussion here.
We have custom objects in our plugin (WebClient), similar to the Rack and Chassis samples which are a part of the vSphere WebClient sdk.
We need to allow an Administrator to assign permissions to these objects.
To do this, we think it must be necessary to add our objects to the vCenter Inventory.
Is our assumption correct? Is it possible to do this? Are there any samples to show how this is done?
thanks for any info

I'm running Windows 7 on VMWare Fusion 8 (OSX El Capitan)
When using Language Specific Key Mappings, caps lock + § (or !/) doesn't work, it gives §/! instead of 6/8.
Shift+§ or shift+! is Ok, it gives 6 or 8.

SRM vReplication 6.1 Network Ports
Hello,
I looked around for a new diagram for SRM/vReplication showing all the network ports required (an updated version of http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1009562).
I could not find one so I created one based on the following docs:
I have a few questions and suggestions:
- In the KB articles, there is a reference to "vCenter proxy system". Is this the same as the PSC?
- In not, then exactly what is this?
- In the KB articles, they refer to "replication appliance", "replication server", "replication server in the replication appliance", "replication management server".
- I assume from my reading and understanding
- "replication server" = "replication manager" = "VReplication Management Server (VRMS)" = Brains
- "replication appliance" = "VReplication Server (VRS)" = Work horse
- Can anyone confirm this is correct? It will make a difference to this diagram.
- I assume from my reading and understanding
- Suggestions to VMware technical doc writers
- Please be consistent with names of components. It gets very confusing when there are multiple references to the same component using different terminology
Once I get confirmation the diagram is correct, I will post the final version on the blog along with the Visio complete with layers.
Thanks for the assistance.

duplicate LUN ID when using multiple arrays
I am setting up a new VMware farm in a large corporation, where both EMC and Netapp SANs are being used.
I asked a storage engineer to present a RDM LUN from the Netapp SAN. They gave this a LUN ID of 0. Unfortunately, my boot LUN on the EMC also has a LUN ID of 0. This has resulted in two LUNs on separate arrays with an ID of 0. The targets do differ and the paths are all up.
I have never had duplicate LUN IDs like this before and wondered if this is an issue, and if it is commonly encountered in multiple array situations. Maybe I need to be more specific with the SAN engineers about which LUN ID they present at the time, is this something the SAN engineer chooses from their console?
Do I need to worry about this at all? I have screen dumped the two LUNs.

Jerky scrolling on Retina Macbook with Ubuntu 16.04 Guest
I'm trying VMWare for the first time, and finding scrolling in the latest version of Ubuntu very jerky. I'm running the VM with retina mode on, and the Ubuntu display manager is seeing a native res of 2880x1800. I have 1.5x scaling setup in the Unity env.
Everything looks good, but scrolling is just awful. I've checked that the openvm-tools-desktop is installed, and that the Mesa 3D acceleration is enabled.
I can also see on the host side that the discrete graphics card is enabled.

Local datastore slowly diminishing (ESXi 4.1)
Hello folks! Don't know what is going on with my datastore. In my inventory I created several virtual machines with thin provisioned hard disks. I thought that this was the reason why my storage started to slowly diminish. Then I made an inflate procedure on this thin disks because I was pretty sure that this action may help. Anyway it diminishes every day little be little. It's starts getting rather dangerous.
Can I stop it? How can I find the real reason of this issue?
Many thanks in advance!

help with bulk update script - vcloud Org
Hi All,
I need to update the following script to only modify all affected VMs in a single Org...I don't want this touching all environments...
ForEach ($vm in (Get-VM)){
$vmv = Get-VM $vm | Get-View
$name = $vmv.Name
$guestid = $vmv.Summary.Config.GuestId
$vmx = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$vmx.extraConfig += New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
$vmx.extraConfig[0].key = "monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC"
$vmx.extraConfig[0].value = "TRUE"
if ($guestid -like "windows8*Guest") {
($vmv).ReconfigVM_Task($vmx)
}
}
When I log into the specified Org via connect-ciserver -server xxxx -Org MyOrg and test, it tells me:
Get-VM : 5/9/2016 3:40:00 PM Get-VM You are not currently connected
to any servers. Please connect first using a Connect cmdlet.

Resuming Paused VM results in "The file specified is not a virtual disk"
Resuming Paused VM results in "The file specified is not a virtual disk". I'm running workstation9 and my vm has been stuck this way since October 2015. I tried a few things initially but have put the entire host on ice until now(I really need help salvaging this vm and data!!)
As stated, I believe the vm worked fine until October 2015. Up until then, I had frequently paused and resumed the vm as a matter of practice. One day I got this error and have not been able to get back into the vm since then. I have been careful not to change the files through my vain troubleshooting attempts.
I've attached a complete list of the files in the vm's folder, along with the two log files contained in the folder
Any expertise/help/advice would be greatly appreciated

Virtual Network Editor: Installing under Linux
Hallo Everyone,
I am current trying to set up a Bridged Network from a host PC (Lubuntu 16.10) to a linux (fedora) client and vmnet0 seems to be missing.
During my googling I have found that the VM-Ware tool "Virtual Network Editor" is recommended for fixing this problem.
Vmware say that it is available here: /usr/sbin/vmware-netcfg ... but on my installation it isn't there (although vmware-player installed fine and runs well).
However, the install files for vmware-netcfg seem to have found their way into the directory: /etc/vmware-installer.
So what I need to know is hope to get the Virtual Network Editor installed, open and running? Can I force an install? Or get it via Synaptic (although I couldn't seem to find it there)
Does anyone have any tips for me? Any information would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Alan Searle

PS: And generally any tips or links to good HOWTOs on setting up Bridged Networking to a VMWare client would also be a great help.

VXLAN VLAN across racks?
I was reading the design guide for NSX and in there it was mentioned that the VXLAN VLAN ID on a vDS has to be the same across all racks in a given DC. VLAN ID for Mgmt, Storage and vMotion can differ; however the VXLAN VLAN ID has to be consistent. Can someone explain why that is?
Thanks!

Two Monitors Using CDE Within Workstation
VMware Experts:
My current environment uses a set of workstations that run HP-UX 10.20 to provide our GUI Applications. My boss has asked me to migrate our Applications to a more modern environment. His idea is to run this using VMs and Linux. Sooo, I currently have a Windows 7 PC that runs VMWare Workstation 10. Within VMWare, I
am running CentOS 7.2 and the Common Desktop Environment (CDE). For those of who who do not know, the CDE is an old Windowing system based on X. I have this architecture working, and the “PC” acts just like our current HP-UX workstations. My penultimate task is to get this architecture to work with two monitors.
I cannot seem to get two monitors to work completely with CDE. I have worked this issue for two weeks with no luck, so I am asking for your help. If I use Win7/VMWare10/CentOS7/Gnome, I have no problems. I do have VMWare Tools (not open-vm-tools) installed in the guest (CentOS 7.2) OS. The physical PC has only one graphics card installed, but the card can drive two monitors (like it does using Gnome). Within CentOS, I believe I have only one video device (/dev/fb0) available, so I have not made any changes to the X config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf). I have made a lot of little changes in the last weeks to get this to work and, at one point, I had something close. In full-screen two-monitor mode within VMWare/CentOS 7, my first monitor had the “usual” look – I had a centered CDE FrontPanel with the expected backdrop and dtterm windows. The second monitor was totally black (i.e. no backdrop). From the first monitor, I was able to drag a dtterm window from
the first monitor to the second monitor. The left side of the dtterm window, however, would get “stuck” to the right side of the first monitor. I could reside this window in the second monitor, but I could not get the left side of the dtterm window to “unstick” from the right side of the first monitor. This implied (to me, anyway) a problem with X, but I no longer think this is the case. It seems there is some interaction between VMware and CDE.
Are there any additional changes I need to make to VMware to get two monitors to work with CDE as a GUI? I am able to cycle between the monitors in full screen mode, but that has no effect.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Jeff Kolodziej
