Hi All, Thank you very much for this script, it works as it should. I have customized it a little bit  adding value for memory and CPU/Core values. There is one thing that we use very often during deploying VM from templates, which is adding additional hard drive disks that are located on same DS as deployed VM. Disks are always added in Thick - Lazy Zeroed format. Would it be possible to add value in CSV like DiskNum and DiskSize that would automatically add vdisks to VM after deploying from template? Let's say DiskNum - value 3, DiskSize 5-10-15 (add three disks with size 5GB, 10GB and 15GB)? If that's possible, could you just give me the idea how to even start it? Should I use -DiskGB during New VM creation? Regards,

Hi All, I have exact same problem. Two vCenter servers in linked mode with external PSCs. One day suddenly one of Vcenter servers stopped to respond. The issue that we have is not related to doubled DB entry as other suggested that.In logs I see exact same entries as misan. Additionally I have checked time on both VCs and PSCs and replication between PSCs, all looks good. I have tried to re-generate certificate on PSC where affected VCs is connecting to, but this has failed. I have also performed upgrade to VCSA 6.5c build number 5400, no luck, still cannot start vpxd service. Hopefully this is a test lab, but I would like to avoid reinstallilng it as it runs dvswitch with bunch of VMs connected to it and Primary NSX controller for Cross-vCenter implementation. Hope that someone from VMware will take a look on this. At this point I do not recommend to go into production with VCSA 6.5.

Hmechgtmechgt, I have exact same problem, using VCSA 6.5 with linked mode and external PSC. I have used migration tool to migrate one of my VC servers from Windows based VC to VCSA 6.5. Once updated I cannot type in Web Client, hope that someone from VMware will look for that as you are not the only one who has this problem. Thank you for a tip with pointing to other object which allow to skip this obvious bug.
Thanks, According release notes this doesn't work with vCD 5.5. as my datastores are larger than 2TB. Also there is no info about 1.2 which would support vCD 5.5

Hi, I have a number of linked clones created by users in vCD. I have particular VM which I believe is a linked clone and I need to check their parent VM (master image). Does vCD allow me to check that in easy way or some third party script needs to be used? Also I would like to check if this particular VM is linked clone of full, stand alone VM. How can I check that? Any feedback will be appreciated. Regards,

Hi, thanks for quick answer. This is exactly what I did, I have added new storage profile under PVDC using green plus button, and this shows blank under "Used" and "Provisioned" for new storage profile. After going to organization that use my PVDC I want to add storage profile to organization level, new storage profile is not visible. The thing that interest me is that under Datastores & Datastores Clusters view, newly added storage profile is not assigned to any PVDC (shows 0 under PVDC). That's why I started to suspect it can be some storage profile limit per PVDC. Regards,

Hi, I have a problem adding storage profile to existing Provider VDC in vCloud Director 5.1.2. Storage profile is recognized but after it's added to PVDC it's not visible in the organizations. Also Datastorea & Datastores Clusters view states that newly added storage profile is not attached to PVDC. I have recreated entire storage profile in vSphere but every time I have exactly same behavior. I have noticed that currently I have 10 storage profiles attached into PVDC and all of them works fine. New one  (the one that I'm trying to add) is number 11. Maybe there is some limit of storage profiles per PVDC which I'm not aware of? Any feedback will be appreciated. Regards,

Ok, if it's a bug is it VMware bug, or MS bug (my DHCP is running on MS OS)? If it's VMware - will this be fixed somehow? I have rebooted vApp, and re-provisoin vApp again, but still I get IPv6. I cannot tell end users - use this IP to connect with your VM through RDP because our external network do not recognize it. Any working workaround for my problem?

Hi All, After deploying vApp from template I go to hardware properties of my newly created machine and see only IPv6. This is slightly different than version 5.1 which showed IPv4 by default. Since IPv6 is very confusing for end users I would like to get state where IPv4 is showed by default. I have tried to disable IPv6 on the guest VM before I have migrated machine as vApp template, but after deploying new vApp I still see IPv6 in hardware properties (see attached screenshoot). Is there a possibility to do this in vCD 5.1? Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to customize login page in vCloud Director 5.1 to remove vmware logo and background. The idea is to have company branded service and that's the idea of having private/public cloud. I was trying to use css from kb.vmware.com/kb/1026050 but it doesn't work, I think that vmware has dramatically changed logon screen and hasn't updated required css. I have also tried to manually replace logo simply copying vmware-login-logo.png to proper directory on vcloud director linux machnie. After doing that new logo displays correctly but after server reboor I cannot get login window, anly grey screen show in my browser. Is there any simple way to customize logon window in vcd 5.1? Citrix allows to fully customized login window in XenApp, why vmware cannot do it? Regards,
Thanks for a tip, any free tool tat I could use for that purpose?

Hi All, We use customized Windows OS templates to build vApps in vCD. vCD use sysprep to customize Windows VMs that will be a part of vApp. Unfortunately after customization we lose autologon functionality, so users needs to enable it again after login into each system manually. Is there an option that would allow us to enable autologon after system will be customized by sysprep? Thanks.

Hi All, Recently I have copied my vApp to the catalog to have option quickly provision full VM configuration in vCloud Director 1.5. Unfortunately lease time for vApp in the catalog was only 30 days. Is there a possibility to change that lease time to "never"? I know that this option is not available by default, maybe some workaround or some unsupported solution would be possible? Thanks.

Thanks both of you for quick reply. Unfortunately the workaroud provided above won't work for me. Users should be able to provision VMs upfront so new MACs will be generated. If there is no possibility to disable both static IP options, maybe there is a possibility to change the order, so DHCP option would appear by default? At the moment Static IP is default value. Thanks.

Hi All, We plan to use vCD as the replacement for Lab Manager. When I create new Organization vCD I need to specify network that will be used by this vCD. So far so good. Then administrator assign group or users to particular Organization vDC. Users have the ability to create new vApp and choose IP settings for VMs that will be a part of the vApp. Is there any chance to disable that option? For example I would like to use DHCP by default instead Static-IP Pool, or Static-Manual. Static-IP Pool and Static-Manual should be disabled. Can I do that in vCD 1.5? Thanks.
Copy/paste on Windows through VMRC plugin do not work either.

We had experienced exactly same issue with access rights. Our vCenter server is not a part of domain, because we can't easilly join existing vCenter server to our domain - knowing issue with disconnecting ESX hosts. Anyway I think that this functionality should be added. Paying a lot of money for vCenter Server Heartbeat I can expect full protection and replication between Primary and Secondary hosts. For end users there shouldn't be any problems with accessing vCenter resources, so rather than adding minor functionality to Heratbeat 6.3.1 please do some extra work and try to solve issue with replicating users and groups somehow - this is for VMware dev team. Thanks.
