This is my 15th year to the conference. I thought it was small blast year, the number of vendor booths this year is crazy small. I guess I’ll get fewer cold calls this year.
I picked up my backpack at noon since they started giving them out early but was told for shirts all they had were extra small, small and medium. There is no way 60% of the attendees can fit into those sizes. I know it’s just a cheap shirt, but seems crazy to me.

I have to admit I am a bit disappointed here. I went to the exam registration and asked if I could take the VVF exam since that’s all we are entitled to, Will never use full VCF (don’t even have the cores needed to run the full stack) and was told the exam voucher was only for VCF. Seems like a bit of an oversight to me.

VVF is a subset of your flagship product and quite a few folks I met / who asked questions in sessions were VVF folks like me.

The exam voucher is only good during the conference and there’s no way I can learn all the missing pieces in a few hours of downtime. Never used NSX , etc.

I will say that I’ve met some very cool folks and the first day sessions (while heavily VCF focused) were good and the Broadcom team at the booth were very helpful in answering a lot of questions I had for my migration path to 9.1

TL:DR let us take the VVF exam for free please.

Hi all,

I'm at my withs end... I have a Debian (Proxmox) VM running on my Mac using VMWare.
All worked perfectly in NAT mode, after that I've switch to Bridge, all kept working, until now...

The VM is currently in NAT-Mode, has internet, can ping the host.
- IP of the VM is: 172.16.131.137/24
- IP Proxmox is obtained via DHCP

The Host, cannot ping the VM, cannot SSH into the VM.

arp -a on my Mac gives me the following:

? (172.16.131.255) at ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff on bridge103 ifscope [bridge]

I've tried:

• Creating a new VM
• Creating new Network adapters in VMWare
• Switching between NAT - Bridge
• There are no firewalls running/blocking traffic
• Restarted Mac/VMWare/VM
• Gave Proxmox a static IP
• Tried several options found online, most of them applied to Windows though I don't think would be different to Mac...or at least not much.

Nothing of the above changed the behavior.
Host cannot access VM, VM can access internet and ping Host.

I can only think of something small that isn't right...but no clue what else can I do?
Open to try your suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

I have an email that I use for my personal PC's Microsoft Account for Windows 11.

I got set up with a new VM for work, so I connected to the VPN and used RDP for the VM. When I went to Edge to sign into Outlook, it had saved my email that I use to sign into Windows 11 from my personal PC.

Anyone know why this would happen?

i am trying to create a LAN VoIP system using Asterisk in Ubuntu Server LTS hosted in VMWare. The host ping to the PBX server is 1.53ms average whilst the PBX server ping to a phone connected to the LAN is very high so much i can't register the phone to the server. Anyone who can help to solve this latency problem, i think im missing something.

When trying to initialize Fortnite after installing VMWare on my Windows computer, I noticed that Fortnite appeared as "servers disconnected". I don't want to bother you with all the things I tried to solve this problem so I'm going straight to the solution.

The problem solved when I triggered down the process related to VMWare just when starting the system, so that triggered the cheat alert, or just made some uncompatibility with eachother. Turning off that automation and restarting the system solved my problem. I hope that helped.

If that's bad written it's bc English is not my first language :)
