I am using ESXi 6.5 (ESXi build number: 5310538). 3 Months back I enabled Autostart and put 5 VMs in Autostart mode with default 120 sec start delay. Everything was working perfectly.
Last week, I disabled Autostart on 4 VMs and kept 1 VM as it is. Now in Autostart order column, 4 out of 5 VMs are showing Unset.
But even after disabling Autostart, when I reboot the ESXi host, all 5 VMs are getting Autostarted, which is not expected. It shows Autostart feature is not working well.
Could some please help me to understand where the exact problem is?

The Issue: I have disabled SELinux entirely. We have Apache running on a CentOS 8 VM. We have a simple information page running on the server. It displays great when we are on that VM in Gnome using either 127.0.0.1, locahost, or it's actual IP address. However, we cannot view this page from the same subnet or any subnet. The message we get in our browsers when off that server is "server took too long to respond". I am thinking there is some small little thing we must be missing in the Apache config. We even have Webmin on there to make the administration easier. I have never had this problem with CentOS 5/6/7 previously. I know that CentOS 8 is the last release as RHEL has bought it, and they want to see CentOS killed off.
Actions Taken:
Disabled SE Linux entirely to eliminate it being a firewall issue.
Installed Webmin to have access to the Apache administration module making looking for any issue easier.
Tested from the server itself in Gnome which the page comes up.
Tested from other computers on the same subnet, off the same switch.
Tested from other subnet computers.
The broadcast stops working 5 seconds after the start. All ports are open. Why can this error still occur?
If you run Ant Media Server on Ubuntu virtual machine on Windows host and run browser (as WebRTC peer) on host (Windows) side, then you can encounter with such a problem.
As a solution, you can start browser on virtual machine side. Or better run AMS on a real machine or VPS.
Hi good day cut a long story short I am trying to run two vms on two different pcs as my main pc can t handle them both running at the same time do my current setup is
Dell(main pc) running parrot os in vm
Crappy laptop running durp n stink in vm
Both on same Wi-Fi both share internet connection via shared connection under Wi-Fi options shared but the problem I am facing is when I do any scan on network e.g. Netdiscover nmap etc i can pick up everything else on the network
Phones xbox the laptop running Windows 7 but I can't actually pick up the Ubuntu os that's running in vm
I forgot to mention they are running virtual box latest version and both are setup to allow vm under network settings plus both set to bridged
I am running FreeNAS 11.1-U5 at home. I have everything configured and have created VM's for Windows Server, Ubuntu, pfSense, FreePBX. I was able to install Windows and Ubuntu, but shortly after (a few hours after installing them), and after turning them off through the FreeNAS GUI, they have stopped turning on. FreeNAS reports at the top of the GUI that the start was successful, but the VM details still read "stopped".
I have run the VM's before and have the required settings in my CMOS configured for the Host (FreeNAS machine). Restarting the host will fix the problem for a while and it will let me work with the VM's, but I cannot keep restarting FreeNAS. Can anyone tell me why this happens and how to fix it please?
I am trying to deploy a cent-os 7 VM on a vcenetr from pyvmomi python library and then before powering on the VM I am trying to setup static IP and DNS for the VM.
VM creation goes fine , but guest customization fails, givimg following error:
**Customization of the guest operating system 'rhel6_64Guest' is not sup
ported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista (TM) and Linux guests with Logical
Volume Manager are supported only for recent ESX host and VMware Tools versions
. Refer to vCenter documentation for supported configurations."
faultCause =
faultMessage = (vmodl.LocalizableMessage) []
uncustomizableGuestOS = 'rhel6_64Guest'
Now this customization problem goes away if the VM is just rebooted once. After that we can do the guest customization.
But this reboot takes around 30 seconds of time and for our case , we need to get VMs up and running faster than this time.
Any body who faces similar problem and has some context on it will be very helpful.
Also I don't understand how rebooting the VM solves this problem.
Please share your thoughts even if you don't have exact solutions .
On further Investigation I found that open-vm-tools does not work until the VM is powered on atleast once.
When Machine is powered on , the HOST system detects the open-vm-tools running on guest OS , and from there on open-vm-tools works.
So open-vm-tools can not be used for initial provisioning as it will just not work at the start up.
Cloud-init is the alternative solution which should be used for initial provisioning.
