Ubuntu/Debian comments missing in VSphere 5 customization

Hello

It seems that comments customization support for Debian/Ubuntu and other Linux OSes has been removed in VSphere 5. He worked at 3.5, 4.0 and 4.1, and there is no mention of his withdrawal in the VSphere 5 release notes.

Our automated deployment scripts are based on personalization of comments, so now we have a rollback to 4.1.

Does anyone know if support customization comments for Ubuntu/Debian will be restored in the future VSphere releases/patches?

Kind regards

Francesco Cambiaso

Is no longer supported. I feel that VMware and Ubuntu are on the outs.

Symptoms

  • You cannot customize a guest in vSphere 5.0 operating system
  • Before the upgrade to vSphere 5.0, you were able to customize the guest operating system

Resolution

From vSphere 5.0, support for the following operating systems is discouraged:

  • Debian (all versions)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Update 1-7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update 1-9
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.0 Service Pack 3
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 Service Pack 1-4
  • Ubuntu (all versions)
  • Windows 2000 (all versions)

Comments customization instead of tier-1 and the older comments in vSphere 5.0 operating systems are no longer supported. For more information about the operating systems supported in vSphere 5.0, refer to the VMware Compatibility Guide.

  • "missing or not valid customization information resources library missing" on CS2

    Problem:

    I just installed CS2 on my Gateway desktop computer the other day. I was unable to use CS2 because I maxed out my code series on another laptop for work. I went a head and deactviated the serial number for CS2 and uninstalled on the laptop. I could use the CS2 on my Gateway desktop computer and transfer code series.

    I go to my office and the CS2 still doesn't load right.  Okay, so I try to uninstall the CS2.  But there is no uninstall file and it does not appear in the uninstall Manager in Windows 7. So go a head and remove the majority of the CS2 in my program files and then try to reinstall a new copy of CS2.  I get an error "missing or not valid customization information missing resource library.

    How can I work around this new error? If I can reinstall a working copy of CS2 on my desk. It's a little frustrating.  Anyone experienced the same problem?   Any ideas would be great.  Thank you

  • All the addon icons are missing in the window customize

    I use FF 3.6.18 on XP, Vista and Win7. Given that FF itself upgrade 3.6.18, Miss all kinds of icons of the addon. Needless to say most of the addons cannot work unless that icon there to click. When I went to the [toolbar Customize] window to drag the icons réécrirait tool/menu/status bars, I find that ALL my icons missing addon. The FF default icons are there, but all the addon icons are missing. I've seen a lot of messages from people with the same problem as FF4 running, but it is not only a problem with version 4. Most of the answers provided were advised going to the window to customize and dragging that icons back out - obviously written by people who have not been read the question very carefully. Others recommend clicking the [restore default icons] button. They did not read the question with much attention either. I have this problem on my PC, those running XP, Vista and 7. Yes, I already ran ladies of virus and spyware, and that has not helped one of my PCs. reinstall the addons is no help either. Since the problem is on all of my PCs in various operating systems and upgraded to FF4 seems to make things worse, it looks like a bug in FF. Most of my friends who use Firefox have the same problem. It is a bug, or is it repairable? Does anyone know how to solve this?

    After, with great difficulty, eliminating the motor leads from my system, I tried half a dozen other things, but ultimately never gave up is fixed without wiping my hard drive clean. However, the latest update of Firefox (3.6.24) solved the problem! on all my computers! Don't know what you people at Mozilla has done, but thank you, thank you, thank you. No idea what caused the problem, or what fixed it, but it's a happy camper now.

  • VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments

    At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed.  If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.

    1. Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
    2. Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
    3. Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
    4. Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.

    I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected.  Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem.  This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.

    1. Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
    3. sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
    4. Restart comments

    A few quick thoughts:

    1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS.  This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest.  Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS.  Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest.  It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.

    2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.).  Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help.  Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.

  • Beginner to vSphere - missing in vSphere?

    Greetings,

    I have a VMware vSphere 5 Enterprise License Key installed on my vSphere Client.

    The features are the following:

    Up to 32-way virtual SMP
    host VMware vCenter agent
    vShield Endpoint
    vSphere replication
    vSphere API
    Storage API
    VMsafe
    vSphere HA
    HW hot pluggable virtual
    vSphere vMotion
    vSphere FT
    vSphere Data Protection
    vShield Zones
    vSphere DRS
    vSphere Storage vMotion
    MPIO / third-party Multi-Pathing
    Remote virtual serial Port concentrator
    vSphere Storage API for integration of the table
    Shared smart card reader

    Simple Question: How can now use these features? A buddy of mine tell me now, I also have to buy vCenter on the top of this license to use these features. Is this true? I have watched some videos on Youtube of VMware channel and noticed that they can switch between the different icons in the 'Home' of the vSphere Client using the copy of the evaluation. The only options in my 'Home' on the Client vSphere is the inventory, roles, and the log files.

    Thanks for any help provided.

    Robert

    Welcome to the community,

    your boyfriend is correct. Without a vCenter Server in place to manage your hosts, a large number of these features are not usable, because they require a cluster containing multiple hosts.

  • Cannot use the Upce with Centos64 comments or template customization

    Hello

    I'm trying to deploy a new Centos 6.X 64 comments using a technique of customization. I built the reference VM with a single ext3 partition and the swap partition. I installed the version of VM Tools that is listed as current. When I try to use the specification of customization, I prepared the selection is grayed out with the message:

    "The personalization of the guest operating system"centos64guest"is not supported in this configuration. Customers Microsoft Vista and Linux with a logical volume Manager are only for the recent host ESX and VMware Tools versions support"

    I am running:

    The customer does not use an LVM. Here is the output of "-l parted."

    I review the comments of Linux requirements and have not been able to find out what I'm doing wrong here. Can someone tell me please in the right direction?

    Only the operating systems listed in this guide are officially supported for customizing the vCenter guest operating system:

    http://PartnerWeb.VMware.com/programs/guestOS/guest-OS-customization-matrix.PDF

    Unfortunately, CentOS is not among them and vCenter will refuse to apply the customization of virtual machines that are configured for CentOS. However, you can easily get around this by setting the configuration option of the machine virtual guest to the corresponding version of RHEL operating system. This should cause problems for normal operations of VM, but you can replace it on CentOS after customization if you want to be sure.

    LVM or normal partition scheme should without importance for the success of the customization process itself.

  • lspci to detect i350t2 but not the vsphere

    I followed to adapters Intel®, VMware ESXi Server * driver and NVM Image compatibility information and chose only the version of the driver. It is installed successfully. Esxi is now while I'm cli and type:

    It is also missing in vsphere client = > network cards. This is also only Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet BCM5715. How to initialize completely I350t2? What is the problem?

    Strange, the so-called vmkernel detected and claimed the devices, by assigning them to vmnic2 and vmnic3 (see the "VMkernel name" in the detailed output of material), which means that the driver should be ok.

    You can run these commands? :

    # ethtool-i vmnic2

    # esxcli network nic get - nic - name vmnic2

    # grep-i /etc/vmware/esx.conf vmnic

    module system esxcli # get - module igb

    # esxcfg - module - retrieves the igb options

    # enum_instances VMware_EthernetPort root/cimv2

    You don't have a pass through vmdirectpath active on a virtual machine with these cards, right?

    Someone in a similar thread said that he was working for them after an update of the firmware of the NETWORK adapter, have you tried? : Re: Intel I350-T4 only recognized by Esx 5.5, not by 5.5 U2

    Download Intel® Ethernet Boot Utility connections, images PXE and EFI drivers

    If all else fails, so at this time I can only imagine that maybe there is some BIOS or NIC configuration server BIOS interfering here. In general, this could be a parameter associated with interrupt handling. Update the server BIOS can help too.

    Have you tried another host or move the NETWORK card to a different physical PCI slot? Also, you might consider upgrading to 5.5 U3 independently to know if this will fix the problem.

  • Customization of the guest operating system

    Dear people,

    I have a configured Windows 2008 VM and trying to put the password (through comments of vCD properties VM customization). A virtual machine VMware Tools installed and sysprep files are all configured correct in vCloud Director cell.

    I had chosen to activate the customization with Auto generate the password option is selected. The first time, it has generated an automatic password (but I forgot to note - my bad!). After that I thought specify a new and from there, it went wrong. Now I can't log in even after specifying a password. I seems that personalization does not at all. When I put back "Reset Password" AutoGenerate, it shows as "not available".

    Is there a way to recover my old password? What log file have this info? And no idea what causes the problem here?

    / Jas

    Hello

    After you change the password settings in customizing of comments, you must reapply the customization of comments. This can be done by selecting "power and force recustomization ' in the VM menu. Have you tried that? The password is displayed as "Out of stock" until the virtual machine is powered off - it will show the newly generated password, once it is running.

    Kind regards

  • Virtual machines using 90% or more of memory comments

    I have improved recently (4 guests) two clusters of 3.5u2 ESX ESX 4.

    Almost all virtual machines report now that they use a very large amount of comments.

    The clusters are identical and have the available 268, whose 135GB is used in one, and 70 GB in another

    An example is a Windows 2003 Server (SP2, R2, x 32) VM is no longer used. I have 4 GB assigned and has no service running or anything of your RAM to the virtual machine (it reports 362 MB used in the Task Manager), but in vSphere is recorded as using 4185 MB memory of the host (i.e. more than him), and 98% of the comments in the vSphere client memory. The machine works normally and the consumption of memory continues even after a reboot.

    I've updated the VMTools and the VMHardware at 7, and this has not solved.

    Why almost all virtual machines (in two groups) are this high memory use, when they were not under ESX 3.5? I have also some identical virtual machines (taken from the same model, similar running tasks) that reports correctly their memory usage. About one-third of the VMS correctly report its use, the rest are incorrectly indicating they use 90% + of memory comments

    How can I dagnose and solve this problem?

    Just visited this Ko this morning and it is perhaps related to your problem.

    • If the menu bar is hidden, press in and hold the ALT key, this should make the convocation of Menu bar. Make sure you have the Navigation tools and other visible toolbars toolbar: view > toolbars.
    • If items are missing then see if you can find them in the view > toolbars > customize window.
    • If you see the item in the window customize then bring her back in the window, customize the Navigation toolbar.

    Well, this seems odd. If you open "My computer" and right-click on Local C: drive (or whatever you named it), then select properties from the drop-down.
    Click on the Tools tab. There should be a section called 'error checking '. Is that not available on your system? This system is offered by your business or is your private laundry?
