Customization of Windows on ESXi 5.1 with a failure of vCenter 5.5

Hello!

We have a problem with o/s (2008 R2 SP1) of Windows customization on our 5.1 ESXi update 3 (build 1743533) hosts

given that we have updated the server vCenter Server since 5.1.0 in the last 5.5 Update 1 version.

The sysprep command works normally and personalization seems to be good at the end of the day,

but we do not get "successful personalization" more in the events of the virtual computer.

This is the end of the file "C:\Windows\TEMP\vmware-imc\guestcust.log":

[2014 06-09 T 12: 43:50 INFO] Called GuestCustUtil .

[2014 06-09 T 12: 43:50 INFO] Params: flagComplete

[2014 06-09 T 12: 43:50 DEBUG] Current customization, the value 0 to 2014-Jun-09 12:43:50

[2014 06-09 T 12: 43:50 DEBUG] RPCI: Send request = 'deployPkg.update.state 5 C:\Windows\TEMP\vmware-imc\guestcust.log 0'

[2014 06-09 T 12: 43:50 ERROR] Cannot create the personalization in vmx State.

[2014 06-09 T 12: 43:50 DEBUG] SysprepDecrypter has the password successfully unobfuscated

[2014 06-09 T

This is the only mistake we have in all the newspapers (C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\Panther\setupact.log is 100% success)

and it seems that it is just the end "GuestCustUtil flagComplete" which does not work.

Wouldn't be a compatibility problem with the GuestCustUtil of vCenter command 5.5 (as dated 16/04/2014) with our 3 ESXi 5.1 update hosts?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

We have an open for this issue support ticket.

There is a work around in this article: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2078352

  • Implementation of storage fibre channel (ESXi 4.1) with jumbo frames

    I'm looking for 'official' instructions for the activation of the jumbo on a host ESXi 4.1 with storage fibre channel frames. I don't know if the instructions are different, or if anything else needs to be adjusted according to your storage space.

    I looked at the instructions from this page here and it seems simple enough. It also seems that you can keep your groups of existing ports rather than having to delete and then recreate. If these good enough instructions apply it for the side host?

    What is the reason for having to recreate them?

    If you are in 4.1 that you don't need to recreate anything, just activate via the CLI.

    And you can enable frames on a standard port group or is it just for VMkernel port groups?

    You can turn on the VM and vmkernel exchanges. Together you must also make the "virtual cards", i.e.: on the Vmkernel virtual network cards and cards of virtual network in the guest operating systems. On the Windows 2003 server, I think you have to use VMXNET3, but on Windows 2008 the e1000 should support frames too.

    As has been noted before just make sure that any layer two devices in the path is configured to allow the large frames. You can use this to confirm both Vmkernel and invited: http://rickardnobel.se/archives/992

    Hi Konyga,

    If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?
    If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.
