Nothing to do with that. Just that the OVF author assumes that some Values come across (see attached). Workstation isnt able to deal with that. I even tried ovf-tool...
right...after deploying it with vCenter I can see that the ovf dialoge passes a lot more info to the VM...such as network config etc. Is there any way this can be passed to the created VM?
Hi all, looks like the new vCloud Director Appliance isn't working in Workstation 9. Or at least NOT out of the box. (see attached picture) Anyone any idea?
So..after a quick look the first <InstantiationParams> is not needed. You just add the VM to the vApp. As the vApp has allready the config you want you just add the VM and map <NetworkAssignment...

So..after a quick look the first <InstantiationParams> is not needed. You just add the VM to the vApp. As the vApp has allready the config you want you just add the VM and map <NetworkAssignment> the networks of the VMTemplate to the Org or vApp network of the vApp. The inner Network is the Network of the VM (as in the name of the Network you created the VM in) and the ContainerNet is the Org or vApp network of your vApp you want to add it to. <RecomposeVAppParams xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5" xmlns:ovf="http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/envelope/1" xmlns:environment_1="http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/environment/1"> <SourcedItem sourceDelete="false"> <Source href="link-to-vm" name="test2"/> <InstantiationParams> <NetworkConnectionSection ovf:required="false"> <ovf:Info>Specifies the available VM network connections</ovf:Info> <PrimaryNetworkConnectionIndex>0</PrimaryNetworkConnectionIndex> <NetworkConnection network="SupportNet" needsCustomization="false"> <NetworkConnectionIndex>0</NetworkConnectionIndex> <IpAddress>192.168.0.23</IpAddress> <IsConnected>true</IsConnected> <IpAddressAllocationMode>MANUAL</IpAddressAllocationMode> </NetworkConnection> </NetworkConnectionSection> </InstantiationParams> <NetworkAssignment innerNetwork="SupportNet" containerNetwork="SupportNet"/> </SourcedItem> </RecomposeVAppParams>

Thanks for the article. I had the same problem with vSphere 5 and the Call "EventHistoryCollector.SetLatestPageSize" for object "session ... error. As for vSphere5 you wont be able to use WinSQL as it only suports the 32bit OBDC. I had an Oracle DB in the background and one needs to use sqlplus and login as he user that the OBDC is using in order to prune the tables. Also you can check out THIS article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1025914

HI all, I created an CostTemplate and a CostModel. Using the ChargBack Website I can then assign this to any Item in the hierarchy (Folder, VM, etc). I can define the CostTemplate and the CostModel using the API. that’s fine. I can build the hierarchy, no worries. BUT How do I assigne the CostTemplate and the CostModel to the hierarchy item? There is nothing in the API catalogue (or I’m not getting it). Anyone? TA D

I wwould suggest you use SSH-Keys to login..much easier and much saver see http://paul.messinthecorner.com/2008/ssh-access-as-root-to-your-esx-35-server/

Works fine with me.... I downloaded the oem.tgz and added it to the iso root and to the dd file. here is a QUICK summery of the command (used a linux VM to do all that) Go to the oem.tgz site (google ESXi ICH10) Herre a quick summary (using Linux): mount the iso and copy everything into a folder /tmp/esxi_mod Untar-gz install.tgz (mkdir /tmp/esx-temp; tar -xzvf install.tgz -C /tmp/esx-temp) Unbzip2 the disk image (cd /tmp/esx-temp/usr/lib/vmware/installer;bunzip2 VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd.bz2) Determine the sector size (fdisk -ul VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd) Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd5 8224 106495 49136 6 FAT16 Make a temp mout directory (mkdir /tmp/esx-5) Mount the partition 5 through the loopback device (mount -o loop,offset=$((_512*8224_)) VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd /tmp/esx-5/ ) You can now update the oem.tgz file. umount /tmp/esx-5 bzip2 VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-103909.i386.dd", and then rebuild install.tgz (cd /tmp/esx-temp/; tar czvf ../install.tgz sbin/ usr/). Put the oem.tgz into the CD root create an new ISO: (cd /tmp/esxi_mod) mkisofs -o /tmp/ESXi_mod.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /tmp/esxi_mod Burn to disk Please note that this is stuff from several people across the network...so thanks to them. And no...no luck so far with the Marvel LAN. D
