I fixed it by myself.
I had an adapter which was able to connect the ssd to the host via USB.
Then I installed it there, shut the host down, connect the SSD with SATA again and booted it again.
It works perfectly right now.

Re: TPMVersion=id:00020065, TPMModel=VMware TPM2, TPMManufacturer=id:564D5700
With the Workstation 2017 Preview/Fusion 2017 Preview (aka, Workstation 14 public beta, Fusion 10 public beta), the vmware.log contained two entries
vtpm.ekCSR
vtpm.ekCRT
I have no idea whether these log entries were carried forward in the final release. Presumably ekCSR stands for endorsement key certificate storage root and ekCRT stands for endorsement key certificate root trust.
The virtual TPM 2.0 was software emulation in the beta (a process named tpm2emu would be running if the VM has TPM enabled) regardless if the host hardware has a TPM 2.0 chip, or TPM 1.2 chip or no TPM chip at all. So it would always appear as TPM 2.0 with VMware as the manufacturer ID in tpm.msc in Windows OS.

Re: backupConfiguration A general system error occurred: Internal error
Hello Nettech1,
Please check hostd.log and also look if scratch partition is configured. If downloads folder inside scratch is missing, create that folder and retry the command.

Best way to access and manage shared VM's in Workstation 14
The way I am currently accessing and managing the VM's on my main computer (Windows 10 host, Workstation 14.0) from my notebook, is to put the VM's under "Shared VM's", have Workstation installed on my notebook and connect using the IP of my main computer.
However, I think this means that I need to buy two licenses, of which one is just for remote access. I tried accessing the VM's using VMWare Player, but this gives an error saying it can't connect to the vSphere server.
Is the way I am currently doing it the only way, or are there other/better ways to access and manage VM's on a remote computer? I also have Remote Desktop access to the computer, but just using the application in stead of switching to the RD session is much easier.

OVF deployment error
Hi
Thanks for your help
We have couple environment of esx's clusters
on one of our environment we get error message when deploying OVF using api
"The provided network mapping between OVF networks and the system network is not supported by any host."
we use Vcenter 6U3 with standard switch
do you have any idea where to start?
Thanks shai

Re: backupConfiguration A general system error occurred: Internal error
It must have gotten changed from /tmp which is non-persistent.

Provide some more information about your OVF and the properties it contains. It's a manual deployment via the Flex client successful or not?

Re: PSOD on HP DL380 G7
From the screenshot, the catch point is Recursive panic on same cpu message on PCPU5 and I suspect hardware issues with the Physical CPU 5. check the hardware diagnostics on the ESXi host. Please see the below Kb explains about the recursive panic for same cpu.

ESX 6.0 virtual machine creation may fail because agent is unable to retrieve VM creation options from the host
Hello Everyone, i am getting the error "virtual machine creation may fail because agent is unable to retrieve VM creation options from the host" while trying to perform the following actions on vSphere client connected to 3 Hosts ESX 6.0 Cluster, 1) Enable FT for a VM 2) Migrate the VM using vMotion. Ran the site survey and it points to storage and disk errors. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Re: ESX 6.0 virtual machine creation may fail because agent is unable to retrieve VM creation options from the host
Can you connect to the ESXi host directly?
If you are seeing storage issues, I suggest checking the vmkernel or vmkwarning log to check if there is any hostd unresponsive messages on that specific host
Is FT enabled on the VM?
Thanks,
MS

No i am not able to connect to Host directly, getting an message saying Administrator has disabled direct access.

Sure
Is FT enabled on the VM? FT is not enabled on the VM, when i try to enable the same it gets stucks in 28% and the Host disconnects from vCenter.

Re: audio not working, win 10 host, win 10 guest
I am using the default Windows sound driver, but the one I prefer, the Realtek audio driver, does not show in the list of drivers in the guest. Even in the hidden devices.
I tried downloading the Realtek driver and installing it in guest, but it still doesn't show up.
Is there a line I can add to the config file, so the guest will recognize the host's "Realtek High Definition Audio"?
Or some other idea?

Re: ESX 6.0 virtual machine creation may fail because agent is unable to retrieve VM creation options from the host
If you cannot connect to the connect with "Administrator has disabled direct access" I suspect lockdown mode is enabled on the ESXi host.

Re: Need Feedback on my blog Post : "How to Upgrade vSAN with best practice"
Hello Hareesh,
Looks good. There is one thing that I miss though, but there is not much you can do about it personally i guess.
In Part 6, where you talk about checking the controller hardware etc, a lot of customers will have run into, and will run into it in the future: the problem of "currently supported controllers, not being supported in newer vSAN versions".
Customers with LSI cards for example, will run into the problem that the hardware vendor (or VMware, not sure who's responsibility it is) does not test previously supported cards with newer vSAN versions. LSI is especially notorious as all but their latest 12G SAS HBA are no longer supported, if one would take the HCL literally. But those cards work fine. The LSI SAS 9207-8i is identical to the HP220 (which is just an OEM'ed 9207-8i) but HP did verify their card with vSAN 6.6 and other vendors, who also OEM that same card, do not always go through the trouble of re-certification.
So what you end up with is a perfectly working vSAN system, just like before the upgrade, but with an alert about unsupported hardware that will not go away (obviously).
So even though you cannot do anything about this, maybe it's an idea to at least make people aware that this could happen to them after an upgrade. It happened several times in the past and it will happen again, because that's the way the vSAN vendor eco-system works. Technically, it's all good and (large) customers will not start ripping out controllers out of all of their nodes, and replace them with a newer model, just to satisfy a meaningless alert.

Re: PSOD ESXi 6 - PCPU 1 locked up. Failed to ack TLB invalidate
I did read the article beforehand, but could not extract any useful information other than:
TheFailed to ack TLB Invalidate is caused by either a hardware or a software issue.
I just would like to know if someone can extract relevant information from the log to conclude if it's hardware or software at fault.
I understand the consequence of a whitebox ESXi, but i have been running them for years in my homelab.
Thanks
