      <title>Re: vSphere Web Client SUCKs so bad that my experience managing and supporting VMware has turn to SH**!</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of the cherries on top is when you have to shut down several VMs or something similar where there is a pop up "yes/no" box. No is highlighted, and you can't use your left hand to hit "Y" for yes or even on the arrow keys to move over to the "Yes" option then hit the nearby enter. No, you are forced to do it with the mouse to use up even more moments on a monotonous job to begin with. So many little annoying things like this are amplified due to the very slow interface.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When it comes to browsers, it makes me grate my teeth. Web interface in Firefox is the most stable for me, but over time it gets slower and slower. Chrome is slightly faster, but will suddenly crash for no reason if you use it "heavily" for 10-15 minutes. Really ridiculous. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, completely unusable. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of the things I don't think they realize is that people are making mistakes with their daily duties that could cost them their career at a company. When you have 10 to 30 seconds of lag between clicks, you lose your train of thought. When you do that, you make mistakes. When you make mistakes, some of them could be big enough to cost you your job. I'm spending more money and having more stress trying to get VMware set correctly after any hardware change than I ever have before. Speaking of stress, I came to work 2 hours early this morning because I thought some of my backups were not working... turns out the web client GUI just bugged out and it was fine. Thanks a LOT web client!!! Here's the thing, it takes SO long to go through the GUI to edit these backups, that I avoid it. So one of these days I'm going to set up something wrong, then not get around to checking the fine details in the GUI and it's going to burn me. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Probably ever since EMC's guy took over, there have been major high level problems with their vision. Somebody needs to wake them up. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

The web client has NOT gotten better for me after attempting to adapt over time... it makes me hate VMware. HATE HATE HATE HATE. I dread doing even the most basic tasks as they are so slow and laggy... it's m**her f**king ridiculous.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If 6.0 is providing a way away from the web client, it must be 100%!!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am reposting this here because I am not sure if devs will see it or delete it in the dev area. But somebody for goodness sake must think about the customer who is buying and suffering. I do not like spending money when the outcome of the software is WORSE than what it was for a previous version. Not just worse, but incredibly annoying. The repost: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am sorry, but this web client makes me hate vCenter. It truly truly does. Java is just never fast enough. I am here because I had to wait so many moments between simple actions once again that I lost my place in my work flow. This is unforgivable guys... we need a fast client and Java has never delivered ever for any vendor. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would gladly pay 10% more for a normal client like what we had before the web client. And the opposite is true... I will avoid installing vCenter (or buying it) at any of my smaller locations because it is just too annoying. I do not have the time or patience for this slow nonsense.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

I have the latest updates on vCenter and running ESXi 4.0.0 on my hosts. All hosts show CPU, Disk Usage, and Memory Usage... but zip on that disk latency. We are using a copule of IBM Nseries 6040 boxes I believe (same as Netapp 3040) with NFS (no fiber channel).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it typical and nothing to worry about to get an alarm like so:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;  Target: Datacenters &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Stateless event alarm &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Alarm Definition: (&lt;A href="Event alarm expression: Status change"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;) &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Event details: vCenter.DOMAIN.COM (vCenter) status changed from green to yellow&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;but at the same time, we are not gettinga host alarm or VM alarm for anything. I thought if the datacenter had a problem that was caused by a host or VM, we should get an alarm for that too.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I went ahead and deleted the specific uuid lines like the pdf in my op said. One exception, I didn't have the uuid.action line. I read about it in the link below and decided it wasn't a big deal. Also that kb article seems to explain when to make a new UUID fairly well.Thanks for the help. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1541" target="test_blank"&gt;http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1541&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Moved a VM. Duplicate MAC address question.</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Moved-a-VM-Duplicate-MAC-address-question/m-p/2572201#M239567</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;OK, so I manually moved (really just copied b/c i like having a backup) the VM files from one ESXi box to another (these are standalone /outside of our vCenter system). I put the thing into inventory via the datastore browser. I started it up..., it asks if it was copied or moved, i picked MOVED b/c i didn't want to lose my IP addresses, etc. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; Well right after  I did that, I did some more reading and found this handy doc:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;A href="http://www.systemv.org/vmware_ESXi_survival_guide.pdf" target="test_blank"&gt;http://www.systemv.org/vmware_ESXi_survival_guide.pdf&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; And here is my question. He recommends that you generate a new UUID so that you get a new MAC address. Indeed, my MAC address is the same on the old box and the new, but I will never turn both the old and new copy on at the same time so I wasn't worried. But what are the risks vs. rewards here? I'm just hesitant to go deleting things in the VMX files without understanding them more fully. What do you people recommend? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I forgot to mention that we talked to IBM support. They recommend we restart the management module on the blade before rebooting the whole blade to see if that does it. Since the blade isn't broken (i guess) and the management module must be the means for it to communicate with, eventually, vCenter, that is a logical step to take.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It should be noted that we have updated firmware on this management module and the blades very recently... i think we are completely up to date.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;EDIT/UPDATE: Restarting the VMware Management Agents allows us to VMotion again... maybe coincidentally we changed the vSwitch gateway to a different IP (we aren't 100% sure how that setting works, our consultant directed us there... time to go read). This workaround corrected the problem on the two blades that started having problems. I suppose this means we need to look for a VMware update to fix this or maybe the old gateway IP we had was truly wrong.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Link to restarting mgt agent on ESX or ESXi:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1003490"&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;We restarted the vCenter server but no luck. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We do have HA running, but it hasn't moved anything. Also, we tried to VMotion a test server to the weird blade host, and it failed. So now I'm afraid to try to VMotion something off b/c it's hung in the past and caused problems. We're going to wait till lunch when no users are active and then try VMotion.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;EDIT: sorry i missed the isolation response part. We actually have HA set to "Host Isolation Reponse: Shut down". So from what I'm inferring, we should have expected it to shut all those VMs down then bring them back up somewhere else. But it didn't do it... and it does still see the VMs running. Not sure what to make of it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have the distinct feeling rebooting the ESXi server will fix this, but right now we have seen/are seeing this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. vCenter reported it couldn't talk to blade 1 in our IBM blade center. But VMs never went down. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2.There are no active errors showing in vCenter for the blade.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Under the Virtual machines Tab, it shows Host CPU and Host mem and Guest Mem as zeros... it sees no activity. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. Vmware snapshots (note, these are initiated by the n-series/netapp storage) fail with errors such as: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; 2009-11-20 00:15:25,830 WARN - VMware Task "CreateSnapshot_Task" for&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;entity "server1.domain.COM" failed with the following error: The&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;operation is not allowed in the current state. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2009-11-20 00:15:25,830&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ERROR - VM "server1.domain.COM" will not be backed up since vmware snapshot create operation failed. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; and&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The operation is not allowed in the current state, under the Tasks and Events tab.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm just noting what we are seeing/doing. After we contact IBM support, we are just going to try to Vmotion the VMs off the weird blade and reboot it. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Our system is composed of IBM n-series storage (IBM branded NetApp), an IBM H chassis (BladeCenter-H), several blades HS22 (Type 7870), and Cisco ethernet switches.We use NFS for the storage. We still have a very very light load on this whole system because we keep seeing random bugs like this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; Are these just typical vCenter type bugs not to worry about? Reboot and you are fine type stuff, sort of like things you typically see in the windows world? Or something more sinister is lurking?  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did do the version 7, but buslogic was the only one that worked. Thanks to both for teaching me several things!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did a reconvert using the buslogic option and it seems to be fine, thanks! I also tried editing the vmdk while the VM was off, but it didn't seem to work. When you said remove the vmdk from the VM, what did you mean?  Just curious.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;@ Troy, thanks I didn't know there was an option to force boot to BIOS. Very cool (it works for me, so at least that much is OK with this VM). I'm going to try the non-IDE trick before I do anything else tho.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Virtual Disk is IDE. So is this not supported? I'll try the approach you mention. Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not looking too good. Can't boot from a CD... can't hit F2 (I try, it doesn't register) to get to option to boot from CD. It's like the VMware BIOS is not working. I'm wondering if it isn't some weird HAL problem, like they mention further down in that link you gave me. Will try some more stuff.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
