Hi<br />
<br />
I've upgraded my vsphere client to to 5.5 update 2. &nbsp;That is what allows me to actually edit the vm settings. &nbsp;Even after installing the update, I still get the pop up message. &nbsp;Once I click &nbsp;ok, then the edit screen opens and I can add a disk or whatever.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to suppress the error message so I don't keep having to click it away?

I've upgraded my vsphere client to to 5.5 update 2.  That is what allows me to actually edit the vm settings.  Even after installing the update, I still get the pop up message.  Once I click  ok, then the edit screen opens and I can add a disk or whatever.

Is there a way to suppress the error message so I don't keep having to click it away?

Hi<br />
<br />
I cannot stand the VC web client. &nbsp;It is slow, clunky, and refreshing. &nbsp;I strongly prefer using the VC fat client on my laptop but I've upgraded the virtual hardware on a bunch of VM's and now get the Restricted Edit Options error. &nbsp;Is there a way to suppress this error message to keep it from popping up? &nbsp;See attached. &nbsp;Thank you.<br />

Hi

I cannot stand the VC web client.  It is slow, clunky, and refreshing.  I strongly prefer using the VC fat client on my laptop but I've upgraded the virtual hardware on a bunch of VM's and now get the Restricted Edit Options error.  Is there a way to suppress this error message to keep it from popping up?  See attached.  Thank you.

VC fat client suppress error message editing VM version 10

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
