Might be helpful to say which OS (and version) you are trying to install inside the VM, along with details on how you are attempting to install it.

Hi,

You should not have to set the screen recording permissions for VMware Fusion 11.5.x, that's only required for earlier versions.

If you go to apple menu -> system preferences -> security & privacy

On the general tab page, do you see below "Allow apps downloaded" a request for the VMware application and extensions to be allowed?

If yes, then allow there.

If not, then it is best to re-install.

What I would try in your case is:

- drag the installed VMware Fusion from the applications folder to Trash

- install again.

If that still doesn't work, you can try removing the quarantine flags that invoke gatekeeper.

eg.

   xattr -l ~/Downloads/VMware-Fusion-11.5.0-14634996.dmg 
   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/VMware-Fusion-11.5.0-14634996.dmg 

and do the reinstall dance again.

Hope this helps,

--

Wil

[root@myesx2:~]

so,  which one to disable  ???

You can't disable the driver in use by the pNIC being used by the management vmkernel. That's what the message is saying, in effect, because otherwise when it reboots you'd have no connectivity.

What is this hardware? It probably won't support 7.0. Not all hardware does, and not all hardware has native drivers yet. Nothing you can do in those cases except get compatible hardware.

As requested...

Guest 1: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.18363.720

Guest 2: Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.4

FYI - I've tried with 3D graphics acceleration enabled and disabled for each of the guests to see if that was possibly an issue - that didn't seem to make a difference

Why use the vDS export/import feature for backups and restores if a host profile does the same thing? I'm documenting disaster recovery procedures for our new vDS and wondering what the specific use case is for both methods.

Thanks

Host profiles do not back up the vDS config, only a host's association to it.

We have 2x10GB nics per host connected to two Nexus switches on a vDS with everything on it.

My question is for NFS, I see some examples online using two NFS port groups (2 vmks) much like you would with vMotion with the second 10GB nic as secondary and vice versa for the second NFS port group.

My question is should I set it up like this if I have two target NFS IPs on my NetApp or load balance it some other way. There's no port binding option like you would have for iSCSI but I do have two nics and two target IPs so what are my options?

Thanks in advance

I'm wondering since I just enabled Jumbo frames from end to end, if I should enable Jumbo frames for port groups like my management network, vMotion, storage etc or if there's caveats? I don't want some gotcha to bite me in the butt later.

Thanks again -k

This esx6.7U3 is inside vmware workstation 5.5.2

And the host is intel hardeare. So, this esx is kind of vm box inside workstation. Any suggesyion ?

Purged all Apple products from my life and no longer need my Fusion Pro v11.5 license.  I know this is a long shot, but is there a credit or transfer program where I could switch over to Linux Workstation Pro and pay the difference?

I could run the VMWare Linux Player for free, but typically need 3-6 VMs at any time.  VirtualBox is always an option, but prefer the speed and rock solid reliability of VMWare products.

Any suggestions?

Jim

Thanks, LucD. I will look onto those articles and inputs. Much appreciated.

Not really. It's been out for a whole for days. May need to wait for an updated version of Workstation.

Some quick observations:

We've had problems in the past with Samsung SSDs freezing up for extended periods of time when Workstation is running.  Might be worth checking that you have the latest firmware installed on that drive.

The module list you posted looks like output from a kernel oops/panic... If so, are there any related oops/panic messages in the logs?  I could not find any in the support bundle.

Thanks,
