I don't understand the cause that would do this in the first place but here is the ARTICLE from VMWare.

Sorry, I guess VMware don't like to have links to their own site posted here. Guess you will have to go hunt.
Hint: 2056181 is the Article ID in the Knowledge Base
Copying the files/folders may work (please be careful with thin provisioned virtual disks and snapshots though), however you should actually be able to cold migrate the VM if it is managed by the same vCenter Server!?

I cannot get the SRM 5.1 plugin to download. I get a server unavailable (503). I checked vmware-dr-450.log and it seems a certificate problem. I tried modifying the install and generating a new cert, or browsing and choosing my existing .p12 cert.
I'm not sure but It took me 3 days just to get vcenter components to work after the upgrade 5.0 to 5.1 with all this certificate madness. I am just left with broken Update Manager and SRM. I have a ticket open with VMWare on Update Manager, but I'm curious if anyone here knows how to fix SRM?
None of the certificate automation tools or articles have any mention of generating the certs for SRM.
In the log file it says this:
2014-01-07T16:11:49.236-05:00 [06416 warning 'LocalVC' connID=vc-admin-19e4] Failed to connect: std::exception 'class Vmacore::Ssl::SSLVerifyException' "SSL Exception: Verification parameters:

--> ExpectedThumbprint:
--> ExpectedPeerName: drvcenter.mydomain.com
--> The remote host certificate has these problems:
-->

Inventory, LogBrowser, SSO, Vcenter and WebClient all work. So now just trying to figure out this SRM here and hopefully VMWare support gets back to me on update manager.
I cloned this 2008 R2 vcenter 5.0 prior to upgrading it. However I need to try to keep pushing forward and get 5.1 to work because I need it to manage a 5.1 esxi host I purchased a license for.
Hello,
Long story short - when I have dvuplinks in Active/Active or Active/Passive, I get connection drops from the hosts connected to the switch. When only one dvuplink is used, all is right with the world.
A couple of months ago, I built out a new three-node cluster (ESXi 5.1 U1 b1312873). I built a 5.1 vDS and configured it using default load balancing (as well as attempting with Route based on physical load & explicit failover order). For Network Failover Detection, I've chosen Beacon Probing as per the direction of the network engineers.
Each host has two network ports (for a total of six nic ports used) for:
Management/Server LAN (0 and 1)
NFS (2 and 3)
vMotion (4 and 5)
Each pair of host NICs is plugged into a separate 2K switch...for physical switch FT. NICs 0,2,4 go to one 2K, NICs 1,3,5 go to the other 2K.
Our physical networking setup is two Cisco 5Ks with two fabric extender 2Ks...one off of each 5K. In our current setup we have ESXi hosts dual-homed on the nexus 2k’s. When the dv uplinks are brought up in active/active or active/passive on the applicable vDS port group, we receive periodic ping drops. In order to avoid this problem we have limited the connection to using only one of the dv uplinks.
Here's the SW software version for the Cisco switches:
Software
BIOS: version 3.5.0
loader: version N/A
kickstart: version 5.1(3)N1(1)
system: version 5.1(3)N1(1)
power-seq: Module 1: version v1.0
Module 3: version v2.0
uC: version v1.2.0.1
SFP uC: Module 1: v1.0.0.0
BIOS compile time: 02/03/2011
kickstart image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9-kickstart.5.1.3.N1.1.bin
kickstart compile time: 12/6/2011 22:00:00 [12/07/2011 01:30:01]
system image file is: bootflash:///n5000-uk9.5.1.3.N1.1.bin
system compile time: 12/6/2011 22:00:00 [12/07/2011 03:09:44]
If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, feelings....I'm open to suggestion. Thanks so much in advance!

The assumption in the thread Mavericks Screen Resolution and in this thread is that somehow the new behavior in Mavericks is a VMware bug and that VMware should fix it.
The reason I assume it's a bug or shortcoming of what VMware Fusion offers is because OS X 10.9 Mavericks when run natively on Apple-branded hardware when selecting Scaled from Display under System Preferences displays more then one resolution unlike what VMware Fusion does! So if you're not replicating or cannot replicate the same behavior that is available natively then IMO VMware isn't doing something right!
Please try out the ThinDirect feature to redirect URL from Native browser to virtual browser and vice versa.
The below KB article talks about how to stop redirecting from virtual IE to native IE, you may use it the other way.
I'm not sure how you got the content of the $pathAsString variable, but try the test like this
if ($pathAsString -notmatch "-ctk.vmdk" -and $pathAsString -notmatch ".snapshot") {
There is no need to convert to lowercase, this is case-insentive
What issues / caveats are there if you have a single datastore that is not part of a datastore cluter, when all other datastores are part of the cluster? I have one datastore that needs to be dedicated to a single large VM. I don't want SDRS to move that VM or to have another VM moved to this datastore. Are there issues if a single datastore lives outside of the datastore cluster?
(Assume there is only one compute cluster involved)
Thanks!
Looks like that's the case for me too.
Logged in as Administrator user, elevated command prompt, installed View client using command listed above
Logged in Administrator user has default server listed
Logged in as another user and it does not show a default server, also logged in as a brand new user and it doesn't have the default server either.
Guess the only solution is to replace the default View shortcuts with your own customized ones until VMware fixes the issue.
Andre,
thanks, I can see from the KB that I can purchase Fusion 6.x and then downgrade to 5.x, Downgrading license keys in My VMware (2006975)
i see the registry key created for the default user profile on the registry but it does not work... yeah right now I'm using customized shortcuts...
Hi,
You have posted the query on ThinApp forum. Please repost the same on vSphere community:

So i was using a version Eclipse that came with Flash Builder 4.7, from Step 3 of the SDK Setup. Each time I tried to install the Virgo Tools using that eclipse it failed.
I just tried a new Eclipse download, and the install Virgo Tools worked.
So, the next problem is Flash Builder and Flex SDK. The Setup notes say download Flash Builder and install it as an Eclipse plugin. However, when I went to the Adobe site and installed Flash Builder, the Creative Cloud tool managed everything and did not give me an option to install into an existing Eclipse. Any ideas here?
> OS X 10.9 Mavericks when run natively on Apple-branded hardware when selecting Scaled from Display under System Preferences displays more then one resolution
But don't all these resolutions have the same aspect ratio (like I wrote 5 posts above)? That is what is preventing us from making this work: the custom resolution can have an arbitrary aspect ratio, which is completely different from the aspect ratio of standard resolutions.
Here's the scenario I've run into
It seems like GemFire should automatically create any missing regions when a new cacheserver is added to a cluster. Otherwise, we should never create regions programmatically and always use cache.xml to define a region.
Any insights on this problem?
Thanks!
Are there other VMs on theis host? yes
Are they experiencing the same issue? no
Have you tried removing and readding the virtual NIC to the VM? yes added another, then removed all restarted VM, then added NIC back, same
If other VMs are on the host are you able to ping those VMs from the affected VM? Yes, I can ping between VMs on this Host. Can not get into NIC to set static IP back, nor can I ping from my machine to problem VM, which it used to work, BUT I can ping my machine from problem VM.
Hello,
I am looking for a method of re-entering incorrect workflow inputs without losing the execution instance of the workflow in question. Within my environment there are a few workflows which involve the provisioning of multiple peripherals such as storage networking within nested workflows, and often times a failure due to incorrect user input or otherwise occurs. These midway failures end up requiring a entire rerun of the workflow in question which to add up quickly in terms of lots time. Ultimately breaking apart the workflows was where I ended up but this seems to be unfavorable as it requires more babysitting and manual input. Has anyone produced a creative method for recognizing the error, presenting the incorrect value and retrieving a new input from user input.
Thanks,
Nevermind, i just noticed the instructions say the Flash Builder plugin is under the Utilities folder.
you might be typing the command wrong, as it obviously interpretes the "enable-log-redirection" as an IP adress
see here:
Apparently the issue is that it creates the entry for the profile that installs the application and the default user profile. if your profile did not existed on the computer you will get the configuration but if you already had a windows profile it will not... since i had to elevate the right to an alternate account that account got the settings but not the current logged on user.
Were you an admin when you installed or did you have to elevate rights?
Edit. New profiles do not get the setting either....
it creates the entry at HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\VMware, Inc.\VMware VDM\Client\ConnectionServerName with the correct value but does not use it..
