Re: ESXi 5.5 Another Datastore missing
Hi
> 1720 - S.M.A.R.T. Hard Drive(s) Detect Imminent Failure Port 2I: Box 1: Bay 4 - suggesting a SAS disk issue is imminent.
That does not sound good.
You should create a complete disk-image ASAP..
I hope you have another datastore with enough free space to create a full disk clone.
Run
dd if="/dev//disks/mpx.vmhba1:C0:T0:L0" bs=1M conv=notrunc of=/vmfs/volumes/<OTHER-DATASTORE>/almost-dead.bin
Once that is done stop using the disk and store it away.
We can extract the VMs from almost-dead.bin later.
At the moment priority number ONE is to create a diskimage befor the disk dies.
If possible improve air flow to that disk - maybe even put a gel-pad fresh out of the fridge on top of it to keep the disk as cool as possible.
Do NOT try to mount the datastore again - do not rescan - do not edit the partitiontable - do not try any GUI-operation against that disk !!!

By the way - you post in a strange section of the forum - I only found your post through accident because I saw a message that you followed me.
Next time rather post in the regular ESXi section or here : VMware vSphere™ Storage

Re: Black Screen on Win 10 1703 "Creators Update" When VMware Tools Installed
Well, that's weird. The package I downloaded certainly says 10.1.6 on it, but within it I see that the version of the setup64.exe inside the ISO is 10.1.5.5055683. I have been known to make mistakes in the past, but I think the typo was not mine this time.
In any case, I'm now on: VMware-tools-10.1.7-5541682-x86_64.exe

Re: Permission destruction?
Fusion 8.5.8 includes a fix for the defective error-handling in Fusion. If a similar problem is encountered in the future, Fusion might be unable to run, but it should no longer fail in this destructive manner.
We haven't yet been able to reproduce the problem, nor do we understand what the underlying root-cause is. So far, every user who's encountered this problem and reported back to us has reported that they were running macOS 10.12.5, and the sudden onset of this problem matches very closely with the release of the macOS 10.12.5 update, so I can't help but think that some change within macOS 10.12.5 (or possibly some antivirus/antimalware package which released an update at roughly the same time) may be the underlying root-cause, but at this stage it's impossible to say for sure.
For repairing permissions, possibly "pkgutil --repair" could be used as a starting point.
Thanks,

Re: Using Fusion 8.5.3 can not download any updates for windows 7
Hi and thanks for the suggestions.
- Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (if not already present); yes it was installed originally
- April 2015 Servicing Stack Update; when downloaded and trying to install the update window goes for ages nothing happens, as in the attached screen shot
- Windows 7 SP1 Convenience Rollup; same here: when downloaded and trying to install the update window goes for ages nothing happens, as in the attached screen shot
- Internet Explorer 11 (the full package, for IT administrators). yes I had this too, the older MBP13" uses Mozilla as the default browser and the updates work fine.
One difference I have noticed between new MBP15 and MBP13 is when the new one goes to sleep the Win7 just closes and I have to restart it manually where on the old MBP when the computer goes to sleep (requires password to login back) win7 is running and say downloading.
Any other suggestions? I wished I had those two programs for Mac so no ned for windows which is such a vile OS.

Re: Installing VMWare Workstation 12.5 I get 2 errors Failed USB Inf and failed to install vmci driver ?
I was having a similar problem during an upgrade of VMware Workstation, but in my case the upgrade failed consistently and each time VMware complained about failure to install USB.inf consequently an auto Rollback was performed. I solved this by uninstalling all VMware software, verifying all Vmware was removed by double checking the directories, rebooting the computer, and finally installing VMware Workstation. After both a reboot and a fresh install I had no further problems with VMware. Good luck.

vmware SVGA 3D does not support directX 10.0
Trying to get BATTLE FIELD 4 to run and getting 'Your compute does not meet the minimum requirements for playing this game. VMWare SVGA 3D GPU does not support DIrectX 10.0 which is required.'
This is on a WinPro8.1 VM, Sierra Host iMac 11,2, Fusion Pro 8.5.8
Display Card: ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
DXDiag Reports: DirectX 11 and under display, all three DirectX Features are enabled.
Any ideas what (if anything) I can do?

Re: Using Fusion 8.5.3 can not download any updates for windows 7
Sorry I don't have such a vile Windows 7 OS anymore . I converted a couple of Windows 7 laptops into VMs February last year (which up till then were receiving security updates way past the Jan 2015 cut-off of maintstream support); and upgraded them to Windows 10; maybe even more vile to you so you may not even agree to the word upgrade.
Your post jogged my memory on the last time I had to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on one of the said laptops sometime in mid 2014. After Service Pack 1 got installed, I think it had close to 200 updates from Windows update and it must have taken around 4 hours or so when it eventually did get through (after a few failed/aborted attempts including one I tried leaving running overnight).
I suggest turn off the power save/sleep modes in both the Windows 7 VM and macOS so that the networking/download doesn't get disconnected/interrupted. Depending on the macOS/OS X and mac hardware version you have; its WiFi is notorious in unable to recover the connection once macOS/OS X goes to sleep/power save mode. If possible/available for your MBP, use an Ethernet cable connection as an avoidance measure to possible radio frequency interruptions that can affect WiFi. Only other suggestion left is a little patience.

Re: Android/3D="Locked master refused legacy surface reference"
good tips about the source. it seems both kernel-4.4 & kernel-4.9 branch have the patch applied already
i'm curious how you find the patch, i didn't have any idea before
i just tried "git revert b116797b81e55c6ac9ddcbf92bcd662648273045" on both 4.4 & 4.9 kernel and it revert without conflict, which mean it was patched already

Re: vmware SVGA 3D does not support directX 10.0
A few things to check:
- Make sure the VM settings for Compatibility is set to hardware version 12.
- Accelerated 3D Graphics is checked in the Display settings of the VM.
- The latest SVGA3D driver from VMware Tools is installed (the driver version is 8.15.1.x, I have 8.15.1.50). You can update the driver manually by triggerring setup64 /a in command line when re-installing VMware Tools. It will prompt for folder location to extract the files to. You then update the driver from Device Manager and specify the folder as the location to search the driver for.
You might find that DXdiag will report DX10 with lower feature levels instead of DX11 after doing this; checking the Accelerated 3D Graphics seems to trigger that.
Driver Name: vm3dum64.dll,vm3dum64_10.dll
Driver File Version: 8.15.0001.0050 (English)
Driver Version: 8.15.1.50
DDI Version: 10
Feature Levels: 10_0,9_3,9_2,9_1
There are different feature levels of DX 10 as well; so if the game requires Feature Level 10_1 or anything higher, the same message might still come out.
But hope this works for you.

Re: Android/3D="Locked master refused legacy surface reference"
i'm curious how you find the patch, i didn't have any idea before
That's the mystery of Google search results/rankings. You and I could be entering the same search terms and might have different results/results order just because we have different IP address, OS, browser, browsing history (or lack thereof) and the time of day and if somebody else somewhere had searched for it before or not.
I think the patch may not be in yet for this Android x86 build as the version/date is 2.9 and 2015 for the vmwgfx while the check in date of that patch is just 3 months ago. There is also a version 2.10 with timestamp year of 2016.

Fusion 8.5 isn't booting from EFI Win 10 Boot Camp
I'm trying to boot my physical Windows 10 drive on my Mac Pro from Fusion. The Windows install is an EFI install, and it has the entire disk to itself.
Fusion correctly set up the VM as an EFI VM. But when I boot it, it complains it can't find a startup disk, and then drops me to the EFI shell. Disk boots fine if I boot the machine to it. Just VMWare has trouble.
I tried running this:
GitHub - mikew/vmware-fusion-bootcamp: Of VMWare Fusion and Boot Camp partitions
And it comes back with:
"Could not find EFI partition"

Re: Fusion 8.5 isn't booting from EFI Win 10 Boot Camp
I figured it out. The Windows installer didn't create an EFI partition for my Windows install. I created a new one following the directions here:
And it worked!

VMWare Workstation 12 - Host Blue Sreen
Hi,
I have VMWare Workstation 12 version 12.5.7 build 5813279 installed on my computer running Windows 10 PRO x64. When I run VMWare Workstaion my other apps running start crashing and after some time the host generates a BSOD with message MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. I have already tried to disable USB arbitration and video acceleration as suggested on another threads here in the community. Appreciate any help on this.
Thanks!

Re validate Windows 7 after updating Fusion
Today when I ran fusion a free software update was offered. I downloaded and installed this without issue however when I ran my Windows 7 OS I got the "this copy of windows is not genuine" I've no idea why? i guess because the Fusion update installs new virtual drivers. Anyway I restored the earlier version of Fusion and all has come good again. I'm worried if I attempt to re validate windows it will lock out all versions.
Can anyone suggest what the best course of action is?
Thanks
Stephen
