i think below worked for me
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec |
$spec.memoryReservationLockedToMax = $false
$spec.memoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo
$spec.memoryAllocation.Reservation = 0

Do you have any label on the hardware which tells the exact model ? Error says failed to initialize acpi subsystem, clearly indicates that this is due to hardware fault/incompatibility.
Hello Dreckly,
Glad you sorted this yourself, I intended to earlier but then RL called.
This all can be done from the command-line simply with 'esxcli vsan cluster leave' on two hosts then 'esxcli vsan cluster new' on one of them, and then just 'esxcli vsan cluster get' on the other standalone host to get the new vSAN Sub-cluster UUID so it can use 'esxcli vsan cluster join' to join it.
You *should* also reconfigure the cluster at the vCenter-level but the above would accomplish the vSAN-level clustering part.

Hi LucD,
I am getting a different error now:
Reclaiming can be done only on supported devices. There are some work around to do if you have windows machine , worth to try
Check if there is any genuine task running on that virtual machine by taking direct esxi session from vsphere client, check the tasks in progress. If there are any task running on it or stuck in progress you may try to cancel it. If there are no pending task, then its an issue with vcenter server that did not sync properly with the host to update the task status. Restarting the vcenter service would help in that situation.
Getting error "Failed to create resource" in VROPS 6.3 when creating an object for monitoring a process using multiprocess. It worked before without any issues .
(Please have mercy, I am but a spectator)
My understanding is that virtualization software is designed to create many virtual hardware instances, so that a four core Xeon CPU can spawn 25 or more virtual CPUs.
I have three questions:
This would actually be a ‘unifying’ virtualization, combining multiple physical cores to virtualize a single-core CPU. If such an abstraction layer were developed, could it also possibly virtualize a CPU that does not yet exist physically? So, Intel could virtualize a future CPU that relies on manufacturing processes that haven’t yet been developed. Or could it virtualize a CPU that is too expensive to build, with, for example, 2 GB of L1 cache? Could a light-based photonic CPU be virtualized?
It seems like something that Intel would have to initiate and allow, like hyperthreading, but I am not sure about that.
I just wonder if someone has developed such a program – there are many single-threaded apps still in use, and it is frustrating to see all this Xeon horsepower unused.
A ‘reverse virtualization’ abstraction layer could be invoked just for a selected single-threaded program – once the program is closed, the cores on the CPU would be again available individually.
A relatively low-end Xeon could become much more powerful, depending on the CPU that is virtually created.
Such ‘reverse virtualization’, or ‘unifying virtualization’, would be a win for Intel, it would be a win for users, and it would reduce the pressure on software vendors to re-write their programs for multi-threading.
Thank you for your patience
1. The host does not have it's graphic configuration set to "Shared Direct." You can confirm this by going to the host configuration in vsphere web client and click on graphics.
THIS! Thank you very much. Saved me another days worth of headaches!

ESXi にテープ装置を接続するのは、ESXi 6.0 でも VMware からは直接サポートされないようです。
※下記のKBの対象にESXi 6.0 が含まれるため。
Understanding support for tape devices with VMware ESXi and VMware ESX (2007904) | VMware KB
実際にストレージ側が完全にVTL(仮想テープライブラリ)の機能を持っているのであれば、ESXi からはテープ装置に見えると思います。
つまり、そのストレージ(VTL)ハードウェアのベンダ側が検証/サポートしているか、という確認が必要になると考えられます。
ただ、VTL製品にもいろいろあるようで、
バックアップサーバにする仮想マシン(のゲストOS)にソフトウェアをインストールしてVTLを構成するような
(ESXiからはFCストレージがただのデータストアとして見えて、そこに配置する仮想ディスク上にVTLを構成するような)製品かもしれないとも考えられます。
この場合は、物理的な「ESXi とテープ装置」のサポート状況ではなく
ESXiとVTLソフトウェアのサポート状況について確認することになると思います。
どちらにしても、VTLのベンダ側でESXi 6.0 (あるいは 6.5)をサポートするかについて
確認が必要になります。
具体的なバックアップソフト / VTL / ストレージ のベンダや、製品がわかると、
さらにヒントが得られるかもしれません。
Try something like this
$vmName='MyVM'
$time =Get-Date"23/06/17 18:00"
$si=Get-ViewServiceInstance
$scheduledTaskManager=Get-View$si.Content.ScheduledTaskManager
$vm=Get-View-ViewTypeVirtualMachine-Filter @{"Name"=$vmName}
$spec=New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec
$spec.Name ="Shutdown $($vmName)"
$spec.Description ="Shutdown $($vmName)"
$spec.Enabled =$true
$spec.Scheduler =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler
$spec.Scheduler.runat =$time
$spec.Action =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.MethodAction
$spec.Action.Name ="ShutdownGuest"
$scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask($vm.MoRef,$spec)
$spec=New-ObjectVMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec
$spec.Name ="Power on $($vmName)"
$spec.Description ="Power on $($vmName)"
$spec.Enabled =$true
$spec.Scheduler =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler
$spec.Scheduler.runat =$time.AddMinutes(20)
$spec.Action =New-ObjectVMware.Vim.MethodAction
$spec.Action.Name ="PowerOnVM_Task"
$scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask($vm.MoRef,$spec)
Thanks, Graham, that worked like a charm :-)
That seems to indicate that one of the datastores can not be found?!?
The script tries to obtain the datastore from the path to the VMX file.
For example, for "[DS1] TestVM/TestVM.vmx", the datastorename would be DS1.
Are there any VMX files in the resulting CSV, that have a datastore in the path that can not be retrieved with Get-Datastore?
Thanks for the link. These are the steps that I tried to follow as best as I could and wound up with the issue that I mentioned.
Fiddling around with things a bit more, I found another piece of info that led me to the source of the issue. So once I had my VM powered on with the Serial Port configured as mentioned in my original post, I looked at the VM settings. When I select the Serial Port, it's set to connect at power on, but the Connected box wasn't checked. If I check the Connected box and click OK, it gives an error.
Serial port (serial0) connection control operation failed.
Searching for that error lead me to a forum than then revealed that I need a full Enterprise license to support remote serial ports. I only have essentials.
Bummer! At least I know now and maybe others might stumble upon this. I sort of wish it would have given me an error at the time of adding the serial port to inform me of this.
Password to host found, exported files sent to support.
Thanks everyone for Ideas posted, and when I find the solution I will post it.
We now return to "How the Data Center get Glitches" where we hear Maria say, it was that way when I found it.
In the life of a Virtual Machine, upgrades often change what the VM's OS really is. I know that it's possible to change the VM's name in the Virtual Machine Library by using the "Rename" option so that a new name appears in the Library listing. But the VM file itself still has the original name of the file and it is repeated in the VM package contents so changing the name in Finder likely wouldn't work since presumably everything should match.
In order to keep track of Virtual Machine files as they appear in the Virtual Machine Folder's Finder window, is there anyway to change the VM file's actual identity without breaking it?
Welcome to the Community,
provisioned space what you configured for the VM, and the used space is what's physically in use.
Consider a Thin provisioned virtual disk with 80GB. Provisioned size is 80GB, and used size depends on what's installed in the guest OS, i.e. the provisioned size is the maximum size that a thin provisioned virtual disk can grow to.
The GUI also takes a few other things into account for value that's the displayed, e.g. the VM's configured memory, memory overhead, ..., but I think this is not what you are actually asking for.

Hi all,
I am running into a peculiar issue with Horizon 7.0.3. Have a single desktop pool with dedicated assignment. The pool will provision the desktops but will not power it up. The status stays in "Provisioning" until you start seeing entries in vCenter that the desktops are getting deleted after which the provisioning with error out with "View Composer DiskFault: disk customization failed due to an internal error"
I have double checked all permissions for the service accounts used by Composer as well as connection servers.
Any ideas?
Using:
I rename the files all the time without issue. Have to do both though - change it in the library as well as on disk.
