That doesn't really answer my previous question.
Like I said earlier, I understand what you want to display, but how do you see the relation between LUN and path?
Btw, what do you already have and what is missing from your script?

Re: Login to VM without password
The issue here is that nothing in the vSphere environment (vCenter or ESXi node) really cares about the Guest OS running in a VM.
There are no vSphere features to recover a lost Windows password.
If there are such methods, you will have to look at solutions in or with the Guest OS.
In 6 Ways to Reset Forgotten Windows 10 Password there are a number of these solutions for Windows 10 mentioned.

Re: Script to Find Unused LUNs (Free LUNs) from the Cluster
Thanks LuCD for the reply.
With reference to the below script, I have tried to pull the information of un-used LUNs from the cluster ESX hosts (LUNs shared to all the ESX hosts). Really helpful to get the data for the small cluster with 2 or 4 ESX hosts but the same tried to get for Cluster which have 30 hosts/190 LUNs taking long time.

Re: how-to creat an alarm "CD-ROM connected"?
That is my point, there is no alarm for that but you can execute a script to check (and take corrective action)

Connection to Shared Folder Breaks Every Time VM Suspended - Requires Reinstallation of VMWare Tools
I installed a virtual machine of MacOS Mojave (Version 10.14.6) in VMWare Fusion 11.5.1 (15018442). I granted access to a folder on my main (i.e., native) MacOS installation (also Mojave, although it should not matter) through the "Enable Shared Folders" screen in the VMWare "settings" menu. Every time I suspend the MacOS Mojave VM and reopen it, I lose access to the folder shared with the main / native MacOS installation.
Let me be more specific by what I mean with "I lose access to the folder shared...." I am using scanner software on the VM to scan to a folder on my main / native installation. The scanner software gives me this error message: "Unable to write the file to 'Destination Folder.' Please make sure that you have correct permissions to write to the 'Destination Folder' or change the 'Destination Folder' to a folder that has write permission." One more thing: when I try to access the shared folder through a "VMWare Shared Folders" shortcut on the VM's desktop, I am able to get to the shared folder from within the VM. But the scanner software cannot write to the shared folder.
The "Enable Shared Folders" screen in the VMWare "settings" menu continues to show the shared folder as shared, but there is no actual access to that folder through the scanner software within the VM installation. Deselecting and reselecting the shared folder, or deselecting and reselecting "Enable Shared Folders," does not fix the problem. However, when I reinstall VMWare Tools, the scanner software regains access to the shared folder. But when I suspend the VM and reopen it, the scanner software's access to the shared folder is lost again.
The shared folder on my main / native installation is on a connected hard drive, not on a network drive or in the cloud. Also, the VM is running from a connected drive, not on a network drive or from the cloud. In short, there is nothing fancy in terms of how the folder that I want to share is connected to the main / native or to the virtual machine.
I hope there is a solution / fix for this issue that does not require reinstalling VMWare Tools every time I open the VM and want the scanner software to access a shared folder on my main / native installation through the VM. If this is an issue of permissions, then I do not see why VMWare Tools cannot remember the permissions each time I open the VM without requiring a reinstallation of VMWare Tools. Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Problems writing from Win 7 guest to nas/samba shares
Hi
I'm using actually VMware Workstation 15Pro (Version 15.0.4) on CentOS 7.
Guest is Win 7.
Win 7 is able to communicate with my LAN via NAT.
My files are stored at some synology disc stations attached to the LAN.
The shares are mounted at Win 7 as network drives
All went well many years.
Since some time (I think maybe since 2020)
I have problems with saving from my main apps.
SR1 (Software for calculation of screws), ANSYS 2019, and PTC Creo 3.0
When I try to save, I get different error messages.
(failed to safe, check permissions, not valid file name (but its not true), check space)
I'm able to write to D (its a vmware drive) and copy later to my samba share,
but thats not a good solution...
VMware Tools are also up to date.
I have no problems to write to the NAS from my host system (centos 7) or to write to the NAS from another PC, on which runs Win7.
What may be the reason?
What can I do?
Greetings, Holger

Unclear on how to Increase Capacity of Datastore
Hoping to get a bit of reassurance here not exactly new to vSphere but I'd rather not be losing data.
I have vSphere 6.7U3 with a Synology NAS providing storage over iSCSI on which I have a singe Datastore called NAS.
The LUN was 4TB and the datastore reached this limited and have now extended the LUN to 8TB.
I know want to increase the capacity of the datastore.
When I use the menu command in vSphere "Increase Capacity" I have 2 options:
1) Add an extent to an existing VMFS Datastore
2) Expand an existing VMFS Datastore Extent
Since I have a single extent I choose option 2) where I then see:
What I want to check is why does it say "Select a device on which to create a new VMFS partition" ??
Click Next and see:
and I can take the Free Space:
Now if I click Finish on the screen below will I get Increase Capacity or a new VMFS partition ?

Re: VMware Horizon Client Install Error on Windows 10 x64
Hi HieloLight,
Can you check on this link Horizon Client 'Install Failed' | PeteNetLive whether it can be resolved?

Re: Vmware Horizon Agent will not install
This is Window Common issue that correct registry cannot be updated.
As approached this earlier, make sure of the following steps;
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32 vbscript.dll
or simply regsvr32 vbscript.dll if you are already in the syswow64 directory.
After following these steps you should be able to install your program without issue.
If things are not right, it is better to run with window registry cleaner tool.

Re: Fusion 11.5 won't launch new VM on clean install
> my problems started after my main account access was downgraded.
That's a difference.
The account I was / am using was always a non-admin account.
If you can: Try creating a fresh non-admin account.
Otherwise: Yes, I would expect that quite for sure you need to delete more.
Because even uninstalling the software for me left plenty of settings and license stuff and what not behind.
So I would try here as well, but /carefully/ if in doubt, backup .. to delete more.
That's my 5 cents,
Tormen

Re: Create Custom Alarm for VM CD/DVD ROM Connected State in vCenter
I checked if the latest vSPhere version had any changes, but I'm afraid with the available API methods this not really possible.
One can create an alarm that will fire when 'any' configuration change is made to a VM, but none specific for having an ISO mounted.
There is currently, afaik, no way to define such an alarm.
↧
↧
Re: Unclear on how to Increase Capacity of Datastore
The wording in the wizard is indeed incorrect for this task, as you will not create a new partition.
Anyway, with selecting to expand an existing datastore, it will increase the existing partition as expected.

Re: Is there any kind of impact to the data plane if all 3 NSX-T manager nodes goes down?
Hi,
No there is no impact to current data plane operations, but you won't be able to make any chances. This includes connecting new VMs to segments, reconfiguring of the VM's network, vMotion of VMs, etc. You basically end up with a static NSX environment. It's a pretty bad situation, but perhaps not catastrophic.

Re: why show different items in my partition details
That is because of one disk has a MBR partition table and the one that is more specific and lists VMFS uses GPT tables.
GPT was designed to be precise - while MBRs were deveoped over years and never had a strict syntax on their agenda.
