Thank you all. Sorry about just posting, without searching. Never had any problems with VMWare after wireless network adapter not bein supported in Workstation 2.0.
Planned to try skip installing the problem update file, but was not fast enough.
Now I have installed the other ones, too, and player is working fine.
Added
vmmon.disableHostParameters = "TRUE"
to config.ini and will try the KB2995388 sometime later.
Well it looks as though this issue is still alive and well. I worked with VMWare Support to identify the root cause of the failures and after checking VMKwarning.log it was confirmed that it was yet another issue with the hp ams service. In our case we run a scratch off a different partition and this took 82 days, almost exactly to surface. Here's the details on the build. I'm still awaiting feedback from HP on the "correct" way to remediate the issue. Frankly, this is my 2nd go around with similar issues that have hazarded my environment in 3 months and I'm seriously considering just removing it altogether.
Here's details on our affected build
HP DL560 G8
ESXi 5.5.0 189274
FW 02-2014 B
HP Offline Management Bundle v 1.7-13
AMS V 550.9.6.0-12.1198610
Build Original HP Custom CD 5.5x
Reported Errors on Affected Hosts
"Console" Can't Fork
VMotion Timed Out
VCenter Host Configuration Security Profile Access "Call "HostImageConfigManager.QueryHostAcceptanceLevel" for object "imageConfigManager-252705" on vCenter Server "your vcenters fqdn" failed.
vmwarning.log "2014-10-14T20:20:53.668Z cpu39:46241)WARNING: Heap: 4128: Heap_Align(globalCartel-1, 136/136 bytes, 8 align) failed. caller: 0x41801ffe5429"
Avamar 7.01 Backup and Restore Failure, Restore Error 10011 Failed to write to disk, Backup failure Snapshot failure,
Recommended Remediation
1) Lower memory overhead on effected hosts by shutting off 25 % or more of VMs
2) Login to Tech support mode
3) Run the following commands
•Stop the service via SSH or the ESXi Shell: /etc/init.d/hp-ams.sh stop
•Disable the service at boot via SSH or the ESXi Shell: chkconfig hp-ams.sh off
< At this point host operations should return to normal, backups, vmotion>
No immediate host reboot has been required thus far
Long Term:
I'm trying to work with HP to identify a Solid Remediation process.
It has been stipulated by HP's support team that you must remove the vib and reboot prior to updating the AMS. What may be happening is that not all effectid components are removed and simply applying the subsequent patch or full bundle may not refresh all components
Here's a list of resources on the subject matter thus far.

Hi Barry,
You can take down the vCenter Server no problem with that, the virtual machines will be running in the hosts.... To confirm that you can connect to the host directly using C# based vSphere Client....

Yes I currently have an EDGE Gateway connected straight to my providers uplink (It's a secondary connection not the primary) On the Edge Gateway I run a L2 IPSec VPN to a remote location as well as an SSL VPN for remote access to my lab.
Being the author of the Learning PowerCLI book, I recommend this book to learn PowerCLI. It has good reviews on Amazon and is available by all major bookstores on the internet.
Hi everyone! We're aware of this problem, and are working on it. It may also be possible to avoid the problem by uninstalling the KB2995388 update.

thanks in advance
Good news,
I've applied this patch to linux 3.17 and this has enabled TPR shadow emulation.
I can now run 64-bit guests using ESX 6.0.0 beta
Hi Kazumba, and welcome to the VMware Communities!
We've become aware of an issue related to the latest Windows 8.1 update from Microsoft. More information, discussion and workarounds are in this thread: Windows 8.1 October rollup KB2995388 and issue with Workstation 10
Thanks!

Do you have a VM sprawl problem?
If so, you need to learn more about Enhanced Reclamation Capabilities available in the new vRealize Suite
While becoming more agile by delivering IT services to their customers faster may be your customers number one concern, utilizing their infrastructure more efficiently is always a challenge for most companies. IT providers not only need to be quick, they also need to be cost competitive. Automated resource reclamation is a real customer need and capabilities available in our recently announce vRealize Suite demonstrate the power of our cloud management platforms and how components of the suite work together to solve this real-world customer problem. Take a few minutes to better understand how our automated resource reclamation solution works and please forward the following to your customers.
The Power of the vRealize Suite
vRealize™ Suite helps simplify and accelerate the identification and reclamation of inactive VMs. With vRealize Operations 6.0 and vRealize Automation 6.2, administrators can reduce the effort required to identify and reclaim inactive and abandon resources.

Thanks for your reply. Capacity Planner can gather only technical data from the systems, but not requirements from the people themselves.
Hi...had you tried Extpart.exe, from Dell? It's a good tool...You have another partition on that drive...i don't know if this tools will work ok...you can give a try, but It's more safe (if you have available space) to do a converter, and change the disks layout.
Before any change, backup your data, or clone the VM, or take snapshot.

Leandro.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to destroy a virtual machine using ASD. I have created a custom resource action, however it's not getting the job done.
I am using vCAC 6.1 environment and the latest vCO plugin for vCAC (6.1).
Created the custom resource action using this workflow - "Request a resource action" found in vCO - Library/vCloud Automation Center/Requests
It expects two inputs - vCACCAFE:CatalogResource and vCACCAFE:ConsumerResourceOperation which I am not able to find when I trigger this action from ASD.
Can someone tell me what am I missing over here? Am I doing it right? Is there a better way?

Thanks,

Not sure about Resource Actions, but you could just pull the "Delete Virtual Machine" workflow into ASD
Just booting up my vCAC Lab so I can show some more screenshots
Edit: There you go ..
Unfortunately you cannot increase the C: drive in Server 2003 if it is a System or Boot partition using diskpart. You can try using a third party tool like "Extpart"

the more I investigate, the more it gets weirder...
I tried to navigate the AD of the trusted domain, from a connection server using get-user view powercli cmdlet, below the outputs (xxxxx = trusted domain, yyyyy = connection server domain)
case 1: retrieve info about the domain. get-user -domain "xxxxx.local". huge output, but looks like it returns no errors
case 2: retrieve info about a builtin user in the trusted domain. yeah, it works!
PS C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\bin> get-user -name "administrator" -domain "xxxxxxx.lan"
user : 0
displayName : yyyyyyy.local\Administrators

case 3: retrieve info about a normal user in the trusted domain. error!
PS C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Server\bin> get-user -name "zzzzz" -domain "xxxxx.lan"

Have you ever seen something like that?
I've unassigned user from vdi but that didn't helped wight away. I was getting message: The pending session on machine xxx for user xxx has expired.
But now after more than 12 hours It's working. Maybe there is something with pending sessions. Do you know how I can check this?

We have upgraded 2 of our environments now and haven't had any issues. All updates to the components went smooth and as planned.
Here is a great article that explains the differences
