Hi, I got it working! I used the drive letter "A" and ran the commands and rebooted and disabled the two Guards during boot. Now it's working fine. Thanks for the help!

vCenter Plug-in Registration Issue
I am trying to get my plug-in to appear in the vSphere client, but I can't see to figure it out.
I am able to successfully register it using either the MOB or extension-registration.sh script. With both methods I see my extension listed in the MOB.
However, when I log into the vSphere client I do not see it anywhere.
When I SSH onto the box I don't see anything in:
/etc/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity
Any suggestions?
What log file should I be looking at?
Thanks in advance.

debugStub not catching kernel panics or manual int3s
Hello all,
I am trying to debug a kext I am building that is causing panics. I am running the same version of 10.12.4 (Sierra) on both my host and VM guest. Using debugStub.listen.guest64 = "TRUE" in my config file, I am able to connect lldb from my host to my guest with the gdb-remote command. I can manually break with ^C and I can set breakpoints with no problem, everything works as expected. However, when there is a panic, the VM reboots without the debugger ever getting a chance to catch it. I tried to work around this by setting manual breakpoints in my code with __asm__("int $3"), but this just causes the VM to reboot like a panic and the debugger still does not catch it. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

</extension>
I have replaced a few values with dummy values. For example, that is not the correct url as I have replaced the real domain name with "myserver" here. However the actual URL is working fine.

Applying Security Patch to Master and Collectors
After applying a patch the Master node, per the Master node admin UI, the collectors likewise show updated version level.
Also checking the appliances via SSH and "find" command, we can see the correct version of files on the collector node.
Question is, do we need to perform the same "software update" to each collector node individually, or did the update to the master update the collectors as well?

Re: debugStub not catching kernel panics or manual int3s
"manual" int3s inside the guest are not caught by debugStub because they are purely a guest operation. The guest OS can use int3 for whatever purpose it desires beyond interactive debugging, and it would not be appropriate for the debugStub to consider each one a breakpoint. Similarly for a guest panic, which is really just a sequence of guest operations containing nothing to grab the attention of the debugStub.
I think your best option is to load the guest kernel symbols into lldb, and set a breakpoint on panic(). That will force your debugger to break for any call to panic(), direct or indirect, including int 3.
Cheers,

Re: Trunk port on VM
Have you read and confirmed the settings outlined in the following VMware KB article:
Sample configuration of virtual machine VLAN Tagging (VGT Mode) in ESX (1004252) | VMware KB
You do not mention what type of virtual switching technology you are using? Standard or Distributed or 3rd party? Also what OS is the guest VM?

Re: Unable to login to VCenter 4.1 after installing security updates
Can you confirm if your vCenter Server certificate has a key of at least 1024 bits? If it still have a 512 bits key, you can try the workaround from that another thread: Re: KB3161608 (KB3161639) breaks vSphere Client inventory search

Re: Is it nesessary to use sysprep when creating a VM from a template
There are many ways to run Sysprep when creating a VM from a template, here are some:
1) Run Sysprep on the "master" virtual machine, choose the Sysprep option to shutdown, and then convert the VM to a template, than when you create a virtual machine from that template, Sysprep will run automatically on the first boot;
2) Create a virtual machine from the template, log on Windows and run the Sysprep manually;
3) During the deploy from template Wizard, use the option Guest Customization, that will run Sysprep on virtual machine during the deployment.

move-vm svMotion error
I'm getting the following error on multiple VMs when I try to storage vMotion a batch them with move-vm:
A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '+'.
when I look in my input file, there is no plus sign in any of the fields for this VM. It was exported from an Excel spreadsheet.
This happens intermittently on a number of VMs - but most of them work fine.
Any ideas what is causing this?
Thanks!

Re: move-vm doesn't convert the diskstorageformat of all virtual disks
not sure - i'm wondering if these are swap files stored on a special swap file datastore and therefore don't get migrated so they stay thick - I checked none of the things that you mentioned are the cause - thanks for the input

How to stop ESXi from saying on WAN scans that it is running VMWare? (a stealth mode?)
I am always a little miffed when I use various tools and I see that ESXi straight up tells everyone in WAN land (or even LAN) what it is running on my host. How can I go about putting it in a stealth mode so it doesn't inform everyone on how to attack it?
I'm sure that if someone was motivated enough they could monitor activity and figure it out but I'd like to make that more difficult.
Thanks in advance!

Problems with VMRC 10 from PowerCLI and WebConsole after re-install
Hi
I've had functional environment:
Win 10 1607
VMware-PowerCLI-6.5.0-4624819
VMRC 8.x
Client Integration Plug-in 6.0
I could open VM console from PowerCLI or from Web Console (ESX Virtual Center 6.0) or using web plug-in.
After updating to Win 10 1703 PowerCLI stopped to work. Ok, I saw, there is new version, 6.5.1 so I've uninstalled previous version and install new modules. After trying to open VM console and getting error first I've uninstalled VMRC 8.x and installed VMRC 10.
Now when I run open-vmconsolewindow vm_name from PowerCLI I've get following error:
VMWare Remote Console unrecoverable error (vmrc)
Exception 0xc06d007e
When I try to open VMRC from Web Console clicking on link Launch Remote Console VMRC window is opened and after some time I've get error:
Unable to connect the MKS: Could not connect to pipe \\.\pipe\vmware-authdpipe within retry period
The only way I can connect to VM console now is using web plug-in from Web Console: Find VM, choose Actions, choose Open Console.
What is going on with PowerCLI and VMRC and Web Console and VMRC ? How can I get back functional environment ?
Thank you
Kind regards
