Usually if there is a quiesce failure the restore point would be crash consistent. Else they appear as app consistent.
Should not be an issue if this is a non DB hosted VM.

Re: Após atualização do VDP para 6.1, appliance não aparece para gerenciá-lo
Hi There,
what version of vdp when you say 6.1? There are many releases of 6.1 and VC 6.5 supports VDP 6.1.4 only.
Translating with google translate:
Qual versão do vdp quando você diz 6.1? Existem vários lançamentos de 6.1 e VC 6.5 só suporta o VDP 6.1.4

SATA and USB 3.0 support for win xp guest
Hi,
The VirtualBox creators and user community has been successful on enabling SATA and USB 3.0
support for Windows XP guests.
Are these two supports in any way also possible (vmware natively or not) in case of Fusion hypervisor ?

VMWare Player 7.1 (or Workstation 11) for Unity under newer Linux Kernels (i.e. 4.9)
Hi,
I'm running VMWare Player 7.1.4 because this is the last version to support Unity with Linux guests. (https://communities.vmware.com/thread/518568)
My host is currently Debian 8 (Jessie) with Kernel 3.16.0.4 and everything works very nicely!
Debian 9 was recently released and defaults to Kernel 4.9. I know that the modules for network support, etc. must have their code patched to properly build with the newer Kernel and newer GCC.
I'm sure that others must be using Player 7/Workstation 10 to keep Unity Support. Any info on getting this working with newer kernels would be much appreciated!
P.S. I found a patch put out by Arch Linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-patch/) designed for VMWare Workstation and I suspect part of the answer is there.
Thanks much!

Re: Extract the data from xml file
I guess you refer to PowerShellRemotePSObject.getXml() function. If that is the case there are few utility classes comming with the plugin wich can help you to work wit result from powershell plugin.
There is sample workflow demonstrating how to extract values from .ps script output distributed with the plugin itself "Library/PowerShell/Samples/List directory content"
I usually use getXml()/getJson methods to get general knowledge of the structure of the returned result (what kind of objects are returned arrays,maps,simple types, complex objects and available properties ) . This info can also be found by looking at power-shell help .
Once I know what kind of objects are returned by the script you can use PowerShellRemotePSObject.getRootObject() and
a) if it is an array than the call to PowerShellRemotePSObject.getRootObject() will return javascript Array object and you can process it as normal js array
b) if it is simple type (string/int ..) it is mapped to js simple type
c) if it is a complex object then use .getProperty() to access particular object properties
...
vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center
If you post some example xml returned I can provide some examples for extracting values from it.
Hope it helps!

Re: Set guest client area to 1600 x 900 (exact resolution) - guest high dpi work-around?
Answer to the bonus question:
You can also set scaling for the CentOS 7 KDE using xrandr.
Example:
xrandr --output Virtual1 --scale 0.75x0.75
To put it back to default scaling
xrandr --output Virtual1 --scale 1x1
One thing I found if I use
xrandr --size 1600x900
to set the screen resolution (after the xrandr --newmode and --addmode) is that sometimes (not all the time), the fonts became bigger (for example the Konsole fonts, the Display Config app buttons became bigger).

CPU Spikes
I have a 16 VCPU server running 6.5. For ease of explanation, I have 16 VMs with 1 VCPU assigned to each. When monitoring the system as a whole, I see random spikes where just 1 or 2 VCPUs will spike to 100%. All of the rest are stable at the time when this happens. Should this be a concern. And while we are on the subject... Is 1 VCPU assigned specifically to 1 VM, or do all VCPUs share the load for the system as a whole. I.E., if VM A is idle and it's VCPU is at 0% usage, and VM B's VCPU is maxed out, will VM A's VCPU pitch in and help?

Re: SATA and USB 3.0 support for win xp guest
Hi,
No, not possible to have USB 3.0 support for Windows XP.
The lowest possible WIndows guest OS that has USB 3.0 support is Windows 7.
As for SATA support, I don't know. But I am wondering why it would matter?
The guest OS does not see the host OS hardware, so unlike with a USB external device that you can directly connect to the guest OS, why would you want to have SATA support within Windows XP?

Re: Crash Consistent and application consistent backup for the same job
I'd like to set the kind of backup (quiescence or not quiescence) for my vm backup.
For default behaviour, VDP makes application consistent backup and if It fails, it can fall back to non quiescence backup.
How can I understand because quiescence fails?!

Re: READ THE vRO output
For simple type you can extract them from the output and provide them as input on following actions.
Attaching sample workflow demonstrating how to extract output of type :
- string
- array of numbers
- array of complex objects
Take a look also at sample workflow distributed with the plugin "Library/PowerShell/Samples/List directory content"
Also there is chapter in official doc with some example here vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center and here Examples of Scripts for Common PowerShell Tasks
For providing complex type object between vRO actions all scrpts must be executed in in same PowerShell session and PowerShellRemotePSObject" must be used as input type in receiving action.
There is more complex example for providing result from one ps script to following using PowerShellRemotePSObject distributed with the plugin (see "Library/Powershell/Samples/Pipeline execution example")
Let me know if you need further details/examples
