Re: Esxi 6.5.0 Update 3 guest console not working
Thanks for the suggestion. That solves the issue on the workstation I had VMRC installed when opening the console using VMRC.
It did not help with web console though.

Errore allo spegnimento della Macchina Virtuale
Salve a tutti,
per lavoro ho dovuto scaricare VMHorizon Client su una macchina che monta ubuntu 20,04.
Ho installato la versione 5.3 senza troppi problemi e tutto sembra funzionare correttamente. Dico sembra poiché ogni volta che mi scollego dal server il processo vmware-remoteks rimane attivo e non si riesce a killare in nessun modo e questo mi crea problemi con lo spegnimento del pc come potete vedere dall'immagine in allegato.
se do il comando:
ps aux
la riga riguardante il processo è la seguente:
5307 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? ZNl giu02 0:02 [vmware-remotemk] <defunct>
Qualcuno saprebbe aiutarmi?

Oops, my bad.
I still had the old green to red in there.

Re: Workstation 15.5.5 performance hit
Hi ，
Thanks for doing many investigation for this issue.
I setup a BIOS firmware Win10 2004 VM in HyperV env, and no obvious performance decrease. So I need your help to reproduce this issue for more investigation.
Could you tell me what kinds of operations you did after booting up the VM to evaluate the performance ?

Re: Graphic issues with VMware Player 15.5.5-16285975

I tried copying your guest configuration from the vmware.log, but still was unable to see the issue. Can you try these these three steps (separately) and see if one fixes the issue?
(1) Your VM is running on a really old hardware version (Fusion 6.x era). Can you upgrade the VM to the latest hardware version (16) and see if anything changes? There should be an option in the UI to "Upgrade this virtual machine".
(2) Switch to the software renderer on the host. You will need to add these two lines to the VM config file (.vmx).
mks.enableDX11Renderer = "FALSE"
mks.enableSoftwareRenderer = "TRUE"
(3) Disable 3D in the VM (VM Settings -> Display, uncheck accelerate 3d Graphics)

Re: Workstation 15.5.5 performance hit
Susie201110141, for me, I have a WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 distro running. I also have Docker Desktop, which uses that Ubuntu distro for me to run containers. I have 3 VMs I use all the time. One runs Server 2019 with SQL Server 2012 Std, And then a couple of Windows 10 2004 machines. One runs legacy applications written in MS Access, and the other one is a VisualStudio 2019 development environment.
The thing is, the poor performance is noticeable even before opening the apps, simple things like opening a Windows Explorer window, double-clicking on a folder to open it. Sometimes the actions are delayed, menus take a few seconds to come up.
Prior to running the 15.5.5 update, I ran my VMWare setup with the "Allow some memory to be swapped". After the update, that became impossible, to the point of machines pretty much freezing. So I turned to "use all available memory up to X". And it ran a "bit" better, but not with WSL2 distro running. My poor old Alienware 15 R3 is on full fan on all the time now, and that was not the case prior.
I have already done much work moving from using a vm for my linux development to use WSL2 because of the versatility, but if I can't figure out a way to get the performance going things are going to look like a painful downgrade (pre-15.5.5, back to WSL1) will be in order.
I hope this is helpful.

Nested Isolated vSphere Lab In WorkStation - Internet Access Only
Hi,
I want to setup a nested vSphere ESXi lab inside Workstation, which I already know how to do. The trouble I'm having is this: I want to isolate all the traffic to this lab to the rest of my network, however, I only want to give my lab Internet access. I'm currently using the latest Workstation 15.5.5 Pro.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this or even better if there is a tutorial somewhere that can explain how to do this? I was thinking something like pfsense, which I have no idea how to use. But it there is a super simple way I'd love to hear it. I know whenever VMware has labs in their classes, they have a router virtual machine, any idea what they're using? As I believe all their machines are nested in classes as well, but I'm not certain.
I'd be grateful if someone could help me figure out how to do this?
Thank you!

Re: Caps Lock Issues With Upgrade
Hi,
I also have this issue:
Upgraded to 15.5.5 build-16285975 a couple of days ago and then noticed the caps lock issue in the following hosts:
Kali 2020.2
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Host: Dell Inpsiron 15-5577
Win 10 home 1903
8GB
Intel CoreI i7
As well as caps lock refusing to turn off (or on), and the intermittent case flipping whilst holding a key down, I also noticed:
In the Ubuntu password entry logon screen, pressing caps lock once results in the "caps lock is on" message, but no caps lock light. Pressing caps lock a second time causes the 'caps lock is on' message to flicker for several seconds before finally stopping on 'on'. pressing it a third time causes it to flicker.... well, i get bored before I see it stop, if it stops.
The vmx edit workaround works for both guest OS's.

Re: Windows Local Users for vCenter Server - Disable RDP
I can‘t see an issue, unless you rely on RDP in order to manage your vSphere environment.
However, if you’re still running vCenter Server on Windows, you should plan a migration to the vCenter Server Appliance as part of an upgrade.

vmnet appears to disappear for VMFusion 11.5.5 on Catalina 10.15.5
I've had a setup working for some time with Catalina guests running under VMWare Fusion. Upgraded the machines (6 Mac Minis) to the latest 10.15.5 Supplemental Update and two of the machine will not run the guest any more.
Steps
- Guest is started via vagrant (using macinbox configuration) and a provisioning script
- Guest starts up and eventually gets an IP address and vagrant moves to waiting on SSH to start provisioning
- At some point in the above sequence the route to the vmnet8 network is dropped from the routing table and the local NAT IP is no longer reachable, resulting in a failed SSH.
- Ping and SSH also fail via local tools and traceroute shows a sequence off box (i.e. following original routing to Internet)
Other observations:
- DHCP is issued to guest via vmnet DHCP but takes time (appears unsurprisingly related to OS boot time)
- The four machines that continue to work appear to correctly show vmnet1 and vmnet8 in local routing table of host
Not clear if this is a timeout or crash of the NAT network manager. Node is still active and can be accessed through UI. Nothing shown in vnetlib log file.
How can one enable debugging for networking in VMWare Fusion for Mac?

Re: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.
Thanks for the idea LucD. The environment is not isolated. Our 4 esxi servers are in a cluster with DRS enabled. I took one of the servers out of the cluster and deployment speed was cut in about half. Still twice time than expected, but more tolerable.
Thanks again for the input.

Re: Nested Isolated vSphere Lab In WorkStation - Internet Access Only
Someone I asked suggested I try Monowall, and then set that as my Gateway. Then I set my ESXi hosts and VMs to use that firewall as the Gateway. Then to get Internet access, I'd only need to allow 80 and 443 in via the Firewall.
Does that sound right?
If there's a better way, let me know.
Thanks!
