Alan Manosalvas,
Good suggestion. We will have a try and verify that part of optimization.

Hi Brandon!
I’m glad it worked for you!
Yep–that is a result of the fling. We have a (minor?) bug where we create some sequences that exist in MS-SQL, but do not exist in Postgres.

Don’t know if this is reported or not.

In Storage > Local Disk > Actions > Edit Partitions,

All partitions are of the same size, not to scale with the partition size. Not sure if this is the intended behaviour, but it seems this is not user friendly.

ESXi 6.0.0 (3380124)

release
Branch:

Not working on my VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.0.0.10000-3433163. and the error is as follows.
503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: [N7Vmacore4Http16LocalServiceSpecE:0x7f130d775540] _serverNamespace = /vsphere-client _isRedirect = false _port = 9090)

Mitchell,

Ah got it. Yes, this is actually an expected behavior and something we’ve documented. SSO User/Groups are not currently migrated as part of the Fling. The reason that the roles weren’t impacted is that you had setup a new VCSA which included configuring SSO and hence the default set of users (e.g. administrator@vsphere.local) were already configured and valid. Most customers stick to the default SSO Admin and don’t really use SSO for managing users but rather their own directory service like Active Directory.

In the future, we hope to also handle SSO User/Groups but for now that is a limitation with the Fling

I got the reverse proxy to work from the internet using nginx

# VMWare ui
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name vmware.guxxxxxxx.org;
location / {
proxy_pass https://192.168.xxx.xxx/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection “upgrade”;
}

Thanks for the note Martin – does the in-browser console work for you through the reverse proxy?

Thanks for the suggestion Grant – I have added a feature request tracker to see if we can get this done in the near future.

so far everythingworks for me what works inside my lan as well

Just tested the in browser and new browser console window. in chrome.

Thank William Lam, already can setup the VCSA and assigned the statics IP for the migration.

But the migration I still in POC testing, now I got another problem from after migration completed, the VCSA after migration and restart missing the Inventory list, I check the case seem is Host name issues.

Since my Windows platform VCS the host name is WINVC01 -> VCSA assigned the host name use IP format so missing the Host Name & FQDN.

LOVE this idea and execution. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait the next release.

Please ensure that all elements are HDPi compatible – It really is standard now to render icons using SVG, or at least @2x. While it’s a small change, it really makes all the difference to the experience on modern displays.

On Windows Xp with the VMware View Client 3.2.1 it doesn’t detect the client.
I reinstalled the client several times but it never works.

Hi David,

Well that confirms the error message, your tmp ramdisk is pretty much full. At 196MB, I’m interested to know what’s taking up all the space… would you be able to do some investigation?

I was able to add a new private\public key to the tomcat server so that my chrome browser would work correctly. I used bits of info from here: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssl-howto.html#Edit_the_Tomcat_Configuration_File

Export your existing VDM connection server certificate as .pfx including private key, protect with password instead of group security. Place it here: C:\Program Files\VMware\HorizonToolbox\HorizonToolbox2.0.1\conf

Edit server.xml and change the following:

Maybe the installer could do something like this for us in future versions?

server.xml (this got commented out during initial post):

Connector port=”18443″ protocol=”org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol”
maxThreads=”150″ SSLEnabled=”true” scheme=”https” secure=”true”
clientAuth=”false” sslProtocol=”TLS” keystoreFile=”conf/vdm.pfx” keystoreType=”PKCS12″ keystorePass=”123456″

Check out the blog where I show you how to change the login banner.

+1 – In fact, can we edit the STIG rules? Are they in SCAP format?
Would be great if we could write new rules or load ones from other sources like CIS.
