I know there were some changes to the cmdlets in PowerCLI 4.0u1, you might want to pose your question in the PowerCLI forums, there are some gurus there that can definitely give you the answer and the reason why, I'm sure it's a small syntax that you're missing. ========================================================================= William Lam VMware vExpert 2009 VMware ESX/ESXi scripts and resources at: Twitter: @lamw VMware Code Central - Scripts/Sample code for Developers and Administrators VMware Developer Comuunity If you find this information useful, please award points for "correct" or "helpful".

$vmHost = Get-VMHost -Name $server Get-ScsiLun -vmHost $vmHost -LunType "disk" Returns the error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. This is rather frustrating as $vmhost is an object and the exact same command works for a colleague at another institution. I'm using powerCLI version 4.0 U1 build 208462 and windows 7. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe this is referring to this: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003319 which is true when using Linked Clones w/VMFS volumes. This is a VMFS-3 limitation and not a Linked Clones limitation, the WP probably has this mis-quoted. You are correct that you can create more than 8 Linked Clones from a single base. Hopefully this clears it up ========================================================================= William Lam VMware vExpert 2009 VMware ESX/ESXi scripts and resources at: Twitter: @lamw VMware Code Central - Scripts/Sample code for Developers and Administrators VMware Developer Comuunity If you find this information useful, please award points for "correct" or "helpful".

Hi one of my pixel shaders uses a complement in the operation for example, mov r0, 1-c0 or mul r0, t0, 1-c0 for some reason workstation is completely ignoring the complement aspect of the operation (eg, the 1-) this seems like a pretty straight forward bug - I'm running shader version 1.2 (even checked 1.3) any feedback from VMWare staff? Tried this on multiple video cards

Hi, I am planning to use VMCI Sockets API to communicate from Guest machine to Host machine. My requirement is to get data from the Host machine. This can include, getting the IP of the host machine, getting the host machine's physical hard drive's serial number or reading the .vmx file of the virtual machine in which my application is running. Is it possible to achieve this functionality by communicating through the VMCI sockets?

The env is on vCenter 4.0 and ESX 4.0. Here is part of customization code, cSysPrep.setUserData(new CustomizationUserData()); cSysPrep.getUserData().setComputerName(new CustomizationFixedName()); ((CustomizationFixedName) cSysPrep.getUserData().getComputerName()).setName(clonedVMName); cSysPrep.getUserData().setFullName(winUserName); cSysPrep.getUserData().setOrgName(winOrgName); cSysPrep.getUserData().setProductId(winProductKey); cSysPrep.setLicenseFilePrintData(new CustomizationLicenseFilePrintData()); cSysPrep.getLicenseFilePrintData().setAutoMode(CustomizationLicenseDataMode.perSeat); cs.setIdentity(cSysPrep); From trace log, I can tell the computer name was set properly. Any idea what could be wrong? Also, I noticed when I try to clone VM from template through vCenter console, I got "Error reading customization specification". But the customization specification dialog does pop up after click ok on the error window. Not sure if it is related or not.

I know that if ESX(i) host is being managed by vCenter, as of vSphere 4.0, there's been a new parameter introduced called instanceUUID which is supposedly unique identifier by vCenter for each VM across a vCenter instance You can find this property here: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.Summary.ConfigSummary.html If you're just referring to an individual ESX(i) host ... not 100% sure what you could use to uniquely identify the VM. You might want to see if you can obtain some info from the host, each host should have a unique UUID as well but that may/probably will violate any type of access from a VM to host which is generally disallowed by ACLs/etc. ========================================================================= William Lam VMware vExpert 2009 VMware ESX/ESXi scripts and resources at: Twitter: @lamw VMware Code Central - Scripts/Sample code for Developers and Administrators VMware Developer Comuunity If you find this information useful, please award points for "correct" or "helpful".

Hi I am working on making our product compatible with virtual environments. At the moment we are working on VmWare Server 2.0 but in future we have plans to support VmWare ESXi as well. Our product runs on Windows OS within the virtual machine. An important requirement is to ensure that people cannot breach our product licesning by installing a licensed copy of our product on one virtual machine and then make copies of that virtual machine. At the moment, our licensing engine uses the machine name and the volume serial number of the primary drive to generate a unique "machine identification code" for licensing purposes. Unfortunately, the machine name and the volume serial number values remain the same on copied virtual machine, whether the copies are run on same host OS (same host machine) or they are run on a different host OS (different host machine). It is possible for us to use other parameters in addition to the machine name and the volume serial number to gurantee uniqueness of the "machine identification code". We need to find something which meets following criteria. 1. Some property of the guest OS that is always unqiue. This means that it is different for two copies of same virtual machine. 2. It can be retrieved by our licensing engine code from inside the Guest OS environment. Some options we have explored are reading properties of virtual machine BIOS through C++/Assembly and using VmWare Infrastructure to read the UUID.LocationID from Host OS. However, so far this is not conclusive. Can anyone provide some input about this? Thanks Regards Nauman
