Hello, I am very new to the community.
I am working on new installing and configure the VCSA , to get Vsphere running receiving an error in the process. I am building the VCSA VM on HP Blade Gen 10 6.7EXSI host
“An error occurred while starting service ‘sps’ VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage failed to start”
I will appreciate any help…Thank you
Hi All,
I’m taking the VMware vSphere Deploy, Manage course and was confused about this:
With the second bullet point in mind, where does the vSphere API/SDK fit in? Is hostd the item that houses the vSphere API? Does vCenter communicate with vpxa, which then communicates with hostd using the vSphere API/SDK?
Clarification would be much appreciated.

So this seems to only happen on certain ESXi versions;
I know the root password I have set during install, and I have tested it to be sure by using keyboard on host directly. But when trying to add to Vcenter or login from web client it says password incorrect.
I have tried changing my windows keyboard and even sopping out special characters with the ones they could be; eg ‘ instead of @ but no joy.
Please, I need to add this host to the vcenter. The ESXi version on there is 6.5U2. The other host with 6.7 and exact same root password and even same physical keyboard used to set password works…
Host affected: HP DL380 Gen8 ESXi 6.5U2
Working host: HP DL380 Gen10 ESXi 6.7
I’m having a strange issue that I hope someone else has come across it, hostd.log doesn’t show any information except to confirm the boot time is slower (16 seconds!).
Using this script.
for ($i=1; $i -le 25; $i++)
{
Start-VM -VM $(Get-VM 'vHost01 Test') -Confirm:$false
Start-VM -VM $(Get-VM 'vHost02 Test') -Confirm:$false
Start-VM -VM $(Get-VM 'vHost03 Test') -Confirm:$false
sleep -seconds 2
Stop-VM -VM $(Get-VM 'vHost01 Test') -Confirm:$false
Stop-VM -VM $(Get-VM 'vHost02 Test') -Confirm:$false
Stop-VM -VM $(Get-VM 'vHost03 Test') -Confirm:$false
sleep -seconds 2
}
Screenshots to show consistency.
All systems have local nvme disks, 2.1Ghz gold procs, and are booting a new & empty vm, same hardware versions, same os patch, same everything.
Systems all running `VMware ESXi, 6.7.0, 10302608`
Each Server is configured exactly the same:
(1) SD w/ESXi installed
(1) NVMe SSD for Datastore, all datastores are local.
(2) Intel Gold 2.1Ghz 6130 Processors
768 GB of DDR4 RAM

I noticed that I cannot upgrade VMware Tools from 6.0 and 6.5 to 6.7 on Windows Server 2016 VMs that do not have WOW64-SUPPORT installed.
The Tools installer says it cannot access the Windows installer service.
When I add WoW64 to the VM’s OS the installer works.
I couldn’t find any KBs about that (although about the error message). Any ideas? This is on vSphere 6.7.
I am trying to setup Radius with our OTP that supports push notifications. The problem is currently I get a useless nextcode screen after requesting and approving my push notification. I am seeing the same issue setting it up on the UAG or the connection server and we don’t have a preference currently if we can find a way to work with this next screen.
We can currently logon just wanted to see if someone found a way to disable this confusing screen. I have a ticket in with support but they are saying this is a feature request although I see third party radius OTP on my research that is showing a customized next screen or that it doesn’t prompt at all.
Procedure is
1 enter username and pin
2 receive and approve push notification on my phone
3 type anything into this useless next code screen then you are passed to AD auth.
company.com/portal/webclient/index.html#/securidnexttoken
Looking at this site they don’t even mention the push page which I found odd if there is no way to get rid of the page
looking at this documentation it looks like they modified the text on this page If we have to have a next day we could instruct the user to type anything and click OK
I downloaded the Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 ISOs the day they became available so I can start working on my templates.
I built the templates with EFI, paravirtual for the C drive and vmxnet3 adapter. I’ve been using this combo for other versions of windows 10/8/7and windows server 2008r2/2012r2/1016 without issue.
So far Windows 2019 (with desktop experience) seems to be ok at least for a basic vm and guest customization. Haven’t tried anything else yet.
Windows 10 1809 on the other hand is very, very slow to reboot after the initial install or even just rebooting after making some changes post install. After installing the OS it took 10-15 minutes for the initial windows setup stuff (user, security settings, etc) to appear . I tried a VM set to BIOS and it seemed faster but was still quite slow. Server 2019 and other versions of windows 10 have no issue.
The hosts are esxi 6.5 and 6.7.
I haven’t had a chance to try every combo of BIOS/EFI/vmxnet3/e1000e/paravirtual/lsi sas to see if one is the cause of the issue but was wondering if anyone else had noticed any issues or if it was just me?
Thanks
The VMware Horizon Client for Linux version 4.9.0 fails to start with the following error on my machine:
$ vmware-view
/usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view-crtbora: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/vmware/libcrtbora.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib7ustring5beginEv
The missing symbol is:
$ echo "_ZN4Glib7ustring5beginEv" | c++filt
Glib::ustring::begin()
My machine is running Fedora 28 and the glibmm library does provide the Glib::ustring::begin() symbol, but only through C++11 ABI:
$ objdump -T /usr/lib64/libglibmm-2.4.so.1|grep _ZN4Glib7ustring.begin | awk '{ print $NF; }' | c++filt
Glib::ustring::begin[abi:cxx11]()
Is there any chance of getting this fixed in a newer version of the Horizon Client by providing a build for a recent Fedora release?
