With each release of the VMware Validated Designs, the Solutions Architecture and Information Experience teams create or update the diagrams provided in the Architecture and Design sections of the documentation. These are created as vector files with which we export the PNG files you see in the official documentation.

 

It’s my pleasure to now share the diagrams from VMware Validated Design for SDDC 6.0 in Microsoft Visio format with the community. If you have deployed or plan to deploy the VMware Validated Design, you can use these diagrams to update hostnames, IP addresses, and the like for your environment.

 

The set includes:

  • Standard Architecture, (Single and Multi-AZ).
  • Management Domain Foundation
  • Management Domain Cloud Operations and Automation
  • Backup and Restore

 

NOTE:

All official diagrams for the VMware Validated Design are provided in the product documentation found at vmware.com/go/vvd-docs.

When launching Teams i get the popup to login. After putting in my credentials Teams goes to a blank white screen and stays that way. Closing the app and reopening causes the following error “A JavaScript error occurred in the main process”. An image has been attached for the full error code.

 

Uninstalling App Volumes and recomposing the pool fixes the issue.

As you may recall from previous posts and general best practice in VMware environments, it is a good idea to perform a regular backup of both your vCenter and your ESXi host configuration.  Having these backups in place can certainly reduce the downtime in the event of an issue, and help to ease the recovery. Other blog posts have taken […]

Unable to install remote console, hcmon driver issue

Leave a comment
This post was originally published on this site

Hello,

 

This seems to be my last resort in solving this problem, I hope someone has had this issue before and can provide a new direction into solving this.

 

Scenario: had an upgrade from 6.7 U1 to 6.7 U3, so took the time to install the latest remote console software (worked fine).

I couldn’t establish a session to my VM’s anymore (due to an SSL issue).

In trying to understand and solve that issue, I uninstalled my vmware software (as far as I remember, only the remote console was installed).

Ever since, I’m unable to reinstall the software.

This is the error:

 

VMInstallHcmon

Failed to install the hcmon driver

 

Now I’ve come across several simple things that should help me, but it didn’t:

  • remove vsphere client, install remote console and reinstall vsphere client
  • install with extra admin priviliges
  • Do a register workaround (enable HCmon, install, remove regkey)
  • …

 

I was unfamiliar with the hcmon.sys file before this issue started. From what I learned, this should be provided by the OS under the System32 < drivers folder.

It seems this one is missing on my device, but I’m unsure if it should be there (I also read a hcmon.sys file is being installed through the remote console installation).

To be sure, I’ve cleaned up the registry (ccleaner) and ran a sfc /scannow, which succeeded without errors.

 

If anyone has any other recommendation, I’d be open to it.
