vSphere 6 Web Client - VM console mouse issues

Fresh VSphere 6 install:

vCenter device 6.0 2559267 (tiny config, the integrated Setup)

ESXi 6.0 2494585 and 2615704 (patch applied 201504001)

Client computer (admin): Win2008R2 server with or without SP1, Chrome 41, 37 of Firefox, IE 11, Adobe Flash Player and 15.0 17.0.

Tried all possible combinations with the latter (see above), each time the same symptoms.

Affected by issues with mouse on consoles Web Client VM, vSphere unaffected client (c#):

(1) when you open a console to a computer virtual where VMTools are not installed, _movements_ of mouse are not transferred to VM, clicks are however, entered at the keyboard is forwarded / work.

(2) in the case of installed VMTools, it gets a little better, but still problematic

-Whenever a virtual machine console opens upward, if the vSphere Client Web browser window has been enlarged, the new window / tab with the console gets maximized as well and "tends" VMs Office - looks makes each pixel bigger. When the browser with the console window is restored down, the Office of VMs in it gets "resized" to fit the window.

-Movements of the mouse seem to work (with installed VMTools), however only in the region which is the system VMs "native, not resized, non-tendu-pixel" resolution - f.x. so my WinVM has a screen resolution of 800 x 600, I launch a console in the Web Client and it is open in a window size 1600 x 1200, visually each pixel gets "stretched" and 4 times higher in the console , however the mice only moves in superior left quarter of desktop VMs, which seems to be linked to "native VMs not resized resolution." Once I have restore to the bottom of the browser window with size equal to or less than VMs console "native resolution", mouse movements operate in all areas of office in the console.

Does not sound like a trivial thing to solve at first glance, but maybe someone has encountered a parameter that would disable the stretching of VMs Desktop in the Web Client Console? This would fit perfectly as a workaround.

Any other ideas / suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

VMware have an article now for the same problem: the mouse pointer does not work in the console of virtual machine VMware vSphere Client HTML5 Web (2116851)

Three solutions of workarounds currently exist:

* Use VMware Remote Console.

* Access the console of the virtual machine of VMware vSphere Client.

* Install VMware Tools in the virtual machine and to increase the resolution of the screen until the mouse pointer has a full range of motion.

  • Invoking actions of vSphere on web client

    Hello

    I started development on a client vSphere Web for vSphere 6.0 plugin (VVols), and I had a few questions:

    1. is there a way to call vSphere actions (such as creating a Datastore VVol) from the web client itself?

    2. only VMware certified plugins of web client?

    Thank you

    HTML samples are the same as Flex samples. You will find actions in the sample frame.

    The business logic of your action will be part of the user interface (confirmation dialog box, etc) and especially on the coast of java where the user interface calls a java function.

    Inside this service from Java, you can use the API of your choice to perform actions on vCenter or other servers (for example the vSphere Web Services API).  This API is not related to the Internet Client SDK.

  • vSphere Web Client, any who do anything like that?

    I create some specific workflows to be presented for use in the vSphere 6 Web Client. In this workflow, I try to understand how to get the user currently logged in vCenter to fill a requested_by input variable.  the reason for this is all this workflow opens either Incident, the amendment or demand in the CMDB and use this value in the query of the CMDB.  Anyone pulling this info in this way?  FYI, I use an account shared for the vSphere vRO plugin

    Thank you

    Steve

    Steve, by 'user currently connected in vCenter' actually means you the user logged in vSphere Web Client, right?

    When you start a workflow from vRO in vSphere Web Client, he'll call vRO REST API who authenticate with a SAML token that is taken in the name of the current user in vSphere Web Client. VRO side, inside the script code of your workflow, you can use Server.getCurrentLdapUser () script method to retrieve the user associated with the workflow runtime. It returns an object of type LdapUser; for which properties are provided by this object, see vRO API Explorer.

  • Hard drives does not after created vm web client

    I'm under esxi 5.5 with the web client vsphere. When creating a virtual machine through the customer web of hard drives are not appear. I go through the process and click Finish and everything will check fine no errors, but when I go to edit the virtual machine without hard drives are showing. Now, if I create the virtual machine via the vsphere client it all works. I tried in the client web creation v10 and below the virtual machine and still the same result.

    Just solved the problem. I went ahead and reset services and it works now. The weird part is that the hard drives or specific devices have not been created and there where no errors at all. I guess that the constant permutation between vsphere and web client cause something in the background

    I just talked to Dell support on my problem and this is apparently a known issue with local Europe\UK.  The similarity of our problems might be useful - workaround for me was to settle the Locale\Regional from my PC, where I'm doing it in the United States.  Not the time zone or other settings, to control panel, then "Region and language", then on the first tab, 'Format' box should be set to "English (United States).  Close browsers, start again and it worked for me.

    Might be worth a try if you're not already in US format. (mine was in the United Kingdom).

    Hi Andreas -.

    I was able to find a solution to this problem.  I'm sorry that I had not had the time to post again.

    The problem for me was to cached objects that are stored in the folder SerenityDB.  One time the cached object have been removed, the problem disappeared.

    You must first login to your vCenter Server Appliance using SSH or the console

    1. judgment of vsphere client service
    2. rm - rf/storage/vsphere-client/SerenityDB/serenity / *.
    3. starting the service client vsphere

    You should then get a status message indicating the vSphere client Web PID is running under.  Wait as the web client initialization complete and then try to sing.

    I hope this helps!

  • vcops presents in vSphere client but not in vSphere Web Client

    Question for you.  I just installed vCOPs for demo in our environment, and I'm having a problem seen in the web client.  I am able to see it in real vSphere Client with all registered vcenters, but this isn't the best way to use the tool.  I use Chrome verstion 34.0.1847.116.  I also tried in IE.

    By using the web client of vSphere vCOPS isn't built the way but he is in the thick client.  In the client heavy, you have a plug-in, that you click and it basically gives you the web console window in a tab.  There is nothing like this for the Web Client.  If you click on an object, you can see the health of this object and so forth.  If you want to watch as you see in the thick client but you will need to connect to the user interface for vCOPS self https://vcops-ip/vcops-vspheremeaning.  Or if you look on the homepage of the web client, you can see under surveillance, you see the vCOPS icon and which will bring you to the login page.

  • Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

    Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

    SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

    This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

    y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

    Thank you, Joe

    It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

    Edit:

    Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

  • Very slow performance with the Web Client vSphere

    I'm testing the vSphere Web Client, but I find it excruciatingly slow - it takes almost 5 minutes just to open a session, and each click after that I take a good load of 30 seconds before the new page is completed. I think I spent a good 10 minutes to total just go to the screen where I could power on a virtual machine, which is something that can been done in less than a minute using the traditional desktop client.

  • Overview in vSphere Web Client?

    Hi community

    In vSphere Client c# , I had the chance to see an overview of all virtual machines and their snapshot spaces: home - inventory - warehouses and store data from cluster - storage tab views.

    By selecting my data center on the left, I had a glimpse of all the VMs on a data center and size of snapshot (on all data warehouses). See my attached screenshot.

    I just upgraded my vCenter to 6.0U2, so I did not tab views storage more.

    Does anyone know how to proceed with the Web Client vSphere? I don't want to check every vm or each data store but would like to have a similar overview of instant spaces of all the virtual machines on all data warehouses.

    Best regards

    Roland

    Version 6 does not offer this view more, see this KB article: VMware KB: The Storage Monitoring Service plug-in installs in VMware vCenter Server 6.0

    In VMware vCenter Server 6.0:

    • The selection of storage reports tab monitor an object is no longer available in the Web Client vSphere 6.0.
    • Tab views storage is no longer available in the vSphere Client 6.0.

    As I said before, you have the possibility to use RVTools or something like PowerCLI and vRealize Operations Manager, see this thread another talking about the same thing: the storage vsphere6 reports

    We were using display of storage reports to audit for forgotten shots. So far, there are some alternatives to see the snapshot size

    Use of Ops 1 Manager) and a heatmap personalized, note the Foundation (for some free version) does not have the feature. As we use Foundation, it is not an option.

    (2) RVTools - GUI based (easier for some) but pretty basic

    (3) PowerCLI - yup, get used to it. (get - vm | get-snapshot |) FT VM, SizeGB, created, name, Description)
