I too am getting the error message "Sorry a service is unavailable to complete this action" when trying to log in. I have been receiving the error message since Friday, now it's Sunday and I still cant access the mylearn website. This is hurting my study time as I wanted to take the test soon. VMWARE please fix this! Thanks.

Re: add local user
In order to access the SSO settings you need to follow step one and two from the description you posted, i.e. use the mentioned account (which - by default - is the only SSO administrator). Logging in as administrator@vsphere.local will show you the required options in the left navigation pane.

"Network connectivity lost" alert - how to find which NIC is this ?
Hi, We have HA cluster with VCenter 5.5 and 2 X ESXi servers.
Each host has 4 NIC.
One of the host has "Network connectivity lost" alert that was triggered 02:00am in the morning. Is there anyway to check which NIC is this ?
The Events tab dont says which NIC is that.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Re: ESXI - vsphere 5.5 lost datastore after power failure, need help to recover it?
It is already marked as SSD in storage config, its just lost the path.
Below is capture from the client. Ive highlighted the drive,

Below is the datastore list, there should be one called datastore ssd

Re: Is anyone having trouble logging onto mylearn?
I can still login from Germany without any issues.
Running nslookup for mylearn.vmware.com returns:
Name: e751.dscx.akamaiedge.net
Addresses: 2a02:26f0:6a:285::2ef
2a02:26f0:6a:288::2ef
2.16.195.51
Aliases: mylearn.vmware.com
ta751.vmware.com.ds.edgekey.net
I'm not sure how exactly Akamai works, but it might be worth a try to temporarily add
2.16.195.51 mylearn.vmware.com
to the local hosts file!?

Re: "Network connectivity lost" alert - how to find which NIC is this ?
Unless I'm mistaken, the ESXi host's vmkernel log should have entries regarding such issues.

Re: add local user
The password was either manually entered during setup, or - in case of a simple install - may still be on its default value "vmware". If you need to reset the password, take a look at VMware KB: Unlocking and resetting the vCenter Single Sign-On administrator password.

Re: Is anyone having trouble logging onto mylearn?
Still down for me! Now it is v annoying! Probably weekend shut-down, and thus will not be fixed until tomorrow! It recognises my ID becuase when I put in an incorrect p/w it acknowledges this, and when I put my correct p/w it comes back with that error...
Btw, i know people in the UK it is working for, so not everyone is affected! All the fresh study is disappearing from my head!!
p.s. I have a heavy cold too

Re: analog headphone/mic - mic not working. headphone is
I do see VMware virtual microphone installed so rtav is enabled? I went to
microphone and tried to test the mic via the analog input but the volume
did not move so it did detect any sound input

Trouble getting shared folders to work (vmhgfs module)
Hello forum,
I'd like your help with an issue that has me perplexed.
I'm running Elementary OS 0.2.1 "Luna" 32-bit (built on Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise") guest on a Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit host.
I have enabled shared folders in the virtual machine settings and installed vmware tools in the guest OS, however there seems to be errors in compiling the vmhgfs module so shared folders don't work (/mnt/hgfs/ is empty), though everything else does (like auto changing resolution, dragging and dropping files).
Entering "vmware-hgfsclient" in terminal lists the shared folder that I want to use. I tried mounting it manually by editing /etc/fstab but that didn't work (or I'm doing it wrong).
I've pasted below a segment of the output of vmware-config-tools.pl for clarity.
...
The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS
and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish
to enable this feature? [yes]

The filesystem driver (vmhgfs module) is used only for the shared folder
feature. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the shared folders feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

When the VM powers off, is there an event under Tasks and Events ?
The reason for asking, instead of continuously polling the VM, you could define an alarm that fires when the VM is powered off.
