Upgrading to Fusion 8.1.1 fixed the same problem for me.

Nested Hyper-V VM can't ping default gateway
Hi,
In the beginning I must say that I don't consider myself a VMware's product expert.
I've been struggling with my test nested environment for quite a while and finally decided to (hopefully) get some help from pros.
Environment looks like this:
- Physical VMware ESXi 5.1.0 (promiscuous mode turned on for the vSwitch)
- Couple of virtual machines, one of them being Hyper-V server (Windows Server 2012 R2) which is configured for nested virtualization - 10.106.5.27
- On Hyper-V server I have one VM being Windows Server 2012 R2 - 10.106.5.28
- Couple of virtual machines, one of them being Hyper-V server (Windows Server 2012 R2) which is configured for nested virtualization - 10.106.5.27
Hyper-V server has one NIC and full network connectivity (internal and external: Internet) and in Hyper-V Manager a Virtual Switch is configured in external mode.
VM is connected to this virtual switch via Virtual Network Adapter. It has static IP assigned with subnet mask, default gateway and DNSs same as Hyper-V host. I can ping the host from VM and vice versa both by IP and DNS name. I can't ping other resources from the VM including default gateway and DNS servers ("request timed out"). On VM network status in Network and Sharing Center is:
- unidentified network
- Public network
- access type: no internet access
When I run Troubleshoot Problems tool on VM it says "The default gateway is not available". As I mentioned I can't ping it.
I think that all my connectivity problems are caused by unavailability of default gateway on the VM, but I have no idea of how to solve this issue. When changing the VM's adapter settings from static to DHCP I can't even ping the Hyper-V host.
All of the servers are joined to same domain (VM was migrated from ESXi so it was joined to domain before, but I can't login using domain accounts, probably because of the network problem).
I hope that I described the problem enough but please let me know if you need more information.
support of SRA in SRM Air
Does SRM Air (part of vcloud Air) supports SRA (Array based replication now) ?
Re: Host did not reconnect on VCenter after reboot.
I would have tried that if its new setup. Either you can use VMware ISO or download ESXi 5.5 from HP site and then install latest updates using VMware update manager.
also Check these KB if it helps -
Re: "The available memory resources in the parent resource pool are insufficient for the operation." ... Really?
The amount of memory vmkernel tries to keep available (not necessarily used, but it tries to make sure it CAN be accessed if needed) depends on lot of factors - config, hardware devices, drivers loaded, agents / plugins / solutions installed / running within vmk to be among major probably.
3 GB may seem a lot for a 16GB system, I agree. However as soon as you have larger hosts, with f.x. 200-500GB RAM and allow for the memory optimization / reclamation techniques, vmk should be able to get it back and even add on top.
Unfortunately in your specific case you have all the factors that favor the dark side - small amount of ram on host, all VM memory reserved (no chance for optimization / reclamation).
Re: Horizon View 6.1 - Two Security Servers pointing to one Connection Server?
Hi,
One short answer: Yes
What you can't do is pointing one security server to multiple connection servers.
vCenter 6 using embedded vPostgress database vCenter Performance stats are not available
How do i go about troubleshooting above vCenter issue that uses an embedded vPostgress ?
. Please check vCenter rollup jobs are running properly on this vCenter server
I have been able to see troubleshooting tips for MS SQL and other database but nothing for the embedded vPostrgress which does not use roll ups ? but then i do see these errors on vCenter
Appreciate pointers
Re: Domainjoin Platform Service Controller / Bad Packet DNS Error
can you check resolv.conf file, it should be like below
#cat /etc/resolv.conf
search yourdomain.com
nameserver dnsserveripaddress
change hostname back to small letters.
if this same psc was already part of AD, remove it from AD and try to add it back.
Re: VCenter and SQL Express 10Gb Full
Thanks for the suggestions
I have tried them but i am only shrinking the database by about 100mb or so.
Does anyone know if its possible to just shrink the VPX_TASK table as this is the problem. Attache dis a screenshot of the table causing an issue.
Re: What is the difference between Standard vSwitch and Distributed vSwitch?
If you look at the syntax of the New-VDSwitch cmdlet, using the Get-Help New-VDSwitch command, you will see that the New-VDSwitch cmdlet has three different parameter sets:
The first parameter set is the default:
New-VDSwitch [-ContactDetails <String>] [-ContactName <String>] [-LinkDiscoveryProtocol <LinkDiscoveryProtocol>] [-LinkDiscoveryProtocolOperation <LinkDiscoveryOperation>] [-MaxPorts <Int32>] [-Mtu <Int32>] [-Notes <String>] [-NumUplinkPorts <Int32>] [-Version <String>] -Name <String> -Location <VIContainer> [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
The second parameter set is for copying a VDswitch from a reference switch:
New-VDSwitch -ReferenceVDSwitch <VDSwitch> -Name <String> -Location <VIContainer> [-WithoutPortGroups] [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
The third parameter set is for creating a VDswitch from a backup:
New-VDSwitch -BackupPath <String> [-KeepIdentifiers] [-Name <String>] -Location <VIContainer> [-WithoutPortGroups] [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
In your case, you need to use the first parameter set to create a new VDswitch from scratch. So the -BackupPath parameter should not be used. The -BackupPath parameter is only required if you use the third parameter set.
The first example of the New-VDSwitch cmdlet help gives you an example of how to create a new VDswitch:
C:\PS>$myDatacenter = Get-Datacenter -Name "MyDatacenter"
New-VDSwitch -Name "MyVDSwitch" -Location $myDatacenter -LinkDiscoveryProtocol "LLDP" -LinkDiscoveryProtocolOperation "Listen" -MaxPorts 256 -Version "5.0.0"

Thanks!
I installed official Chrome (not Chromium) and it works.

Can you load balance two app volumes managers
Hi,
with version 3, how can i load balance two AV managers, just add the new one to the "location" tab?
the load balancing itself from an infrastructure point of view will be done with DNS Round Robin (was working fine with App Volumes 2.10)
when i tried to add the 2nd app manager, i got this error (ssl is open, ssh is open etc')
i then added the 2nd AV using the netbios name and that worked fine, however, i do i allow both of them to access the same DB repository like in AV 2.10, in other words, do i need to manually configure the published apps in each AV separately or can i push the same configuration to all of them..
Re: Nested Hyper-V VM can't ping default gateway
Try enabling Forged Transmits also on the vSphere vSwitch like you do for Promiscuous Mode.

How to add and remove VM from vCM (vRealize Configuration Manager) and vRO (vReailze Orchestrator)
Hello All,
I'm trying to add and remove VM entry from vCM using vRO workflow. Can anyone suggest me how I should go about it. I will be using REST API to communicate between vCM and vRO.

Ok, I forwarded the question to the PowerCLI Team, let's see what they have say about this assumption.
Re: Default printer mapping?
I've noticed something interesting about the my "Set printer as default" problem.
After adding the Windows Common Setting "Printers" to my configuration, it's working much better now:
- Deleting every old settings and profiles -> fresh user profile at the beginning
- Logs-async locks like this:
