• Turn on a Linux 64 - Bit VMS on ESX guest VM

  Hi all

  So I had a Linux based OS (CentOS) of Vmware workstation. I want to put this in my ESX environment. If I try to "Import" of Vmware Converter, I get "Cannot determine the operating system". If I try to P2V, it won't work not (finds it difficult to install the Agent). I then tried to install Vmware Server (later) on one of my virtual machine (guest operating system) to my ESX host and try to turn this Linux 64 - Bit VM and tells me that VT is not enabled so 64 bit is not supported.  Obviuously is not recognize the chip of VT of the guest OS.

  Any ideas on what I can do to get this Linux based virtual computer in my ESX environment?

  Thank you

  Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1000936

  And http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022152 is interesting to read this way. All that this article applies to a Windows 7 comments, a lot of the concepts are the same.

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1028042 talk about VMDK disk type conversion using the vmkfstools ESX command.

  One solution, you can try is as follows:

  1 copy the files VMDK Workstation on your ESX datastore use WinSCP or something similar.

  2. once all the VMDK files have been copied to all, try converting to a VMDK ESX type by following the instructions in 1028042 KB.

  3. once new ESX-type disks have been created in your vSphere Client, select 'New Virtual Machine'

  4. proceed through the wizard to ensure that you select the option "custom Setup".

  5. when it comes to the section on creating a disc, choose the option 'use the existing drive' and find the VMDK file that you created.

  6. If all goes to plan, you'll have a machine virtual bootable.

  Hope that helps.

• 64 bit VMs in ESX/ESXi 4.0 that is running as a Virtual Machine in VMware Workstation 7.0.1

  I created an ESX4 host in VMware Workstation 7.0.1 as a Machine with 4 GB of RAM, 2 vCPUs and 1 (25 GB for installation) VMDK virtual and more later added 75 GB VMDK as an iSCSI LUN using openfiler.

  My vCenter Server runs as a Virtual Machine with SQL Express Edition 2005 DB.

  I want to install a Windows Server 2008 R2, which is a 64-bit as a virtual machine within the VM ESX4 embedded operating system. Is this possible?

  Hello

  as this comment by DOC from VMWare, in the 'internal' invited you will just be able to run 32-bit clients, never a 64 bit one.

• VMS 64-bit on HP Proliant DL380 with ESXi 4.1 G4

  Hello world

  Impossible to install 64-bit VMs on HP Proliant DL380 G4's with ESXi 4.1? I received an error message:

  msg.cpuid.noLongmodeQuestionFmt: this virtual computer is setup for 64-bit client

  operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Can someone explain to me and indicate a solution for this problem?

  The link also does not work...

  Where and how can I activate the Longmode?

  Thanks for your attention

  You must enable VT in the BIOS of the system and probably not execute (or disable it, always, I forget which).

  Doing so once the power to change the system, remove the cards power and then turn back on and you should be able to create x 64 vm

• problem of machine virtual 64-bit

  Hello

  In my company, we have 3 HP Elitebook 8560w with Windows 7 Enterprise installed.

  We installed Vmware workstation and you have installed Ubuntu 32-bit and 64-bit virtual machines.

  The 64-bit virtual machine however gives a problem.

  Sometimes it will start, sometimes not. I downloaded the havdetectiontool.exe from the microsoft site. After a system restart the diagnosis of the tool is the first image below.

  Now you will probably tell me that I need to enable something in the bios, but what happens if I force the HP to sleep and then wake up again. After you run the tool now, look at what he says (2nd image). The virtual machine will now start very well.

  The version of the BIOS on this computer is HP 68SVD worm F.22, 05.01.2012.

  Question is: is this a bios issue or what?

  

  

  I solved it. Somehow the sleep of the PC feature sometimes allows virtualization, wrong leads us to believe that nothing was to be done in the BIOS.

  The "Virtualization Technology" checkbox is turned off in the BIOS on HP computers apparently by default. Somehow the 32-bit Virtual Machines are not affected by this piece, but 64-bit VMS are :-)

• Fusion 8 host plant (yosemite) on 32-bit Win10 initialization screen

  VMWare Fusion 8 Pro will crash OS X window manager, if the offending vmware-vmx process is not kill ssh (mouse and keyboard do not respond, but the system works perfectly).

  It's 10 to 32-bit windows. There is no way to 'test' if microsucks likes not the adapter or what you have because the virtual machine actually never past the initialization of graphics.

  It is true that the two newly created virtual machines and pre-existing windows 10 32-bit VMS meanings. I have not tested the 64 bit version and yet, I don't see the point to understand. I'll just reinstall 7 vmware fusion.

  So, in conclusion:

  -Fusion 8 blocks the host and the virtual machine runs 10 32-bit windows, in the following cases:

  1. new vm created by fusion 8, install the current vmware tools
  2. pre-existing VM created by fusion 7, using vmware tools earlier on two materials, 11 and 12.

  Good luck VMWare

  What Mac model that you use when you encounter these problems?  It goes without saying that these problems are unexpected, and as far as I know you're the first person to report.

  We had various problems with Fusion 8 and graphic driver Nvidia Web reports, so if you use this driver, it might be interesting to uninstall and see if that helps.

  See you soon,.

• Windows 64-bit error

  Hello

  I'm trying to run a 64-bit version of windows in the drive, but it says:

  

  I ran this tool that says that if I can run a 64-bit version and he says he can run very well without any problems.

  How can I sort this problem so I can run a virtual machine?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  did you follow the steps mentioned on the screenshot? You must enable VT - x in the BIOS of the host PC in order to run 64-bit VMs make you that you also enable the 'Execute Disable Bit', once you are in the BIOS.

• Upgrading a 32-bit to 64-bit VM

  I'm trying to upgrade to Windows Server 2008R2 (64-bit) Windows Server 2008 (32-bit)

  The drive is connected the ISO 2008R2 server.

  When prompted I selected the upgrade Option. I get the message

  
  "The computer started using the Windows installation disc.
  Remove the Setup disk and restart your computer, so when Windows starts
  normally. Then, insert the installation disc and restart the upgrade.

  When you plug the ISO I am prompted to run sperr32.exe, which does not exist. Running Setup.exe will display this message.

  Installation is not compatible with your version of Windows...

  This upgrade process works very well on a physical server (64-bit capable). Our guests are supported 64-bit VMs. What Miss me?

  Thank you.

  You can't switch from one Windows Server 2008 32-bit to 64-bit, you must reinstall.

• 64-bit nested comments ESXi 5 not supported

  I get an error on "Longmode is not supported" when trying to install windows 2012 server on a virtual machine to a nested instance of ESXi 5 reviews.

  I tried all the proposed resolutions, that I could find on the forums.  Someone knows how to fix this?

  On physical and nested instances of ESXi, I confirmed vhv.allow TRUE config,

  ~ # cat/etc/vmware/config

  LIBDIR = ' / usr/lib/vmware. "

  Authd.proxy.vim = ' vmware - hostd:hostd - vmdb.

  authd.proxy.NFC = ' vmware - pass: ha - nfc ".

  Authd.proxy.nfcssl = ' vmware - pass: ha-nfcssl. "

  Authd.proxy.vpxa - nfcssl = ' vmware - vpxa:vpxa - nfcssl.

  Authd.proxy.vpxa - nfc = "vmware - vpxa:vpxa - nfc.

  Authd. FullPath = ' / sbin/authd '.

  authd.soapServer = 'TRUE '.

  vmauthd.server.alwaysProxy = 'TRUE '.

  VHV.allow = 'TRUE '.

  but HV still shows no VT capable?

  ~ # esxcfg-info | grep "HV".

  |----HV Support............................................ 0

  | - HV Replay Capable... fake

  \==+HV replay off the reasons:

  | - World Command Line... grep HV

  I started in the nested ESXi bios which is a PhoenixBios, but there is no option for setting VT

  In the graphical interface of vCenter, I checked "on" box below,

  CPU/MMU virtualization

  Use Intel VT-x/AMD-v for virtualization and IVR EPT/AMD INtel MMU virtualization nec training

  CPUID mask

  Expose the NX/XD flag for comments

  I also improved virtual hardware and the vm said vmx-09

  Saved and reloaded everything

  How can I get the 64-bit on the ESXi customer nested to work?

  The physical server is a Dell PE310 with Intel Xeon processors and I turn on VT in the bios that seemed to work correctly because I installed ESXi on it, more nested ESXi.

• Comments from 64-bit running with binary translation - VT not?

  I was under the impression that with Intel processors, it was not possible to run the operating system client 64-bit without VT hardware support.

  First of all, is that correct?

  If so, when watching an ESX 4.1 run a virtual machine with Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit) from what I can tell of the log files it does work without VT and instead to use binary translation?

  Is it possible, or read the wrong vmware.log file do?

  10:58:29.136 20 August: vmx | MONITOR MODE: enabled modes: BT32 HV

  10:58:29.136 20 August: vmx | MONITORING MODE: user requested modes: BT32 HV HWMMU

  10:58:29.136 20 August: vmx | MONITORING MODE: guestOS favorite modes: HWMMU BT32 HV

  10:58:29.137 20 August: vmx | MONITORING MODE: filtered the list: BT32 HV

  I think the first post on the line with 'filtered' mode to indicate the mode used. Can anyone confirm this?

  The processor is Intel XEON 5110 and in accordance with article (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9882) it is not possible to execute 64-guests without VT and all favorite modes use VT and memory virtualization software (TPS, since the absence of EFA in the older CPU).

  I have not changed the options CPU/MMU virtualization on the virtual machine, is by default.

  So is this normal or just me be confused?

  In the document "software and hardware Techniques for x 86 Virtualization" (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/software_hardware_tech_x86_virt.pdf), page 8, I found that the term BT32 is used on Intel hosts to show the difference of BT64, which won't be possible on Intel. I have no AMD to test, but the vmware.log will show just "BT" or "BT32/64"?

  AMD systems will be just "BT".

  If it's a 64-bit operating system then the passage to the long mode would probably be early enough in the boot reasonably? As with 32-bit processors started in real mode 16-bit and then move to 32-bit mode very protected early perhaps. Why the hypervisor running in mode binary translation for a few seconds? (When we know that it is a 64-bit operating system in the virtual machine)?

  I remember well, this decision was made so that customers 32 bits would be run in the preferred mode, even if the guest OS type was incorrectly specified as a 64-bit guest OS type.

  I found this online now and the "dynamic" means that it could change between software and hardware virtualization CPU if necessary?

  "Dynamic" may seem more powerful as it is.  The passage of the BT to the HV mode mode is done only once (when entering long mode), and we never switch back.  (Well, go back us to BT for some things, like the real-address mode, but it's still true mode HV.)

  1 does 64 bit VMs always start in dynamic mode is my XEON being older with slower VT?

  This is because your Xeon has long entrance-VM/VM / output latency.  HV is the beginning of default with Penryn (CPU 23 model).

  2. can I tell in the log file that the change of BT32 to VT has actually made? In other words, I thought earlier I could identify the virtualization mode through the lines of MONITOR in vmware.log, but now I know not at all!

• The upgrade to 64-bit virtual machines

  We have four ESX 3.5 with processors Intel Xeon E5335 servers. The virtual machines on all of our guests have Windows 2003 R2 32 bit. What should be done to make those 64-bit VMS? I am sure that the processors on my ESX servers are 64-bit capable.

  Thank you

  Well, it's almost the same thing...

  There is no way I know to move from 32 to 64 bits without a destructive installation.

• 64-bit applications do not convert to VMware Server Console of ESX3i

  Hello

  Because of performance problems, we try to convert a machine Console VMware Server 1.0.4 for VMware ESX Server 3i, using VMware converter standalone client 4.0.1 vcentre but it is a failure with the answer "the destination can't stand not 64-bit clients.

  We believe that ESX3i supports 64-bit machines - there is an option to create one, if we were to start from scratch.

  We also tried to import directly via the "Import a virtual appliance" option on the 3i server itself, but he expects a file ovf rather than an egg file, and so we get an exception "system out of memory.

  Can anyone recommend the best method of conversion of a 64-bit computer?

  Thank you

• Customization of comments 2003 64 bit?

  Running VC 2.5 U2 and I try to use the Customization Wizard to comments for 2003 64 bit VMs.  Doesn't seem to work.  I have installed sysprep tools:

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep

  And uncompressed compared to 2003 R2 Ent in deploy.cab:

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep\svr2003-64

  I'm able to customize 2003 32-bit VMs with no problems.

  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanks in advance,

  Geob

  have you copied the sysprep command ON the CD of Windows 2003 R2 64 bit to these files?  I found that Sysprep in Windows 2003 and 2003 R2 do not seem to be compatible.

  For your model, I also would remove all restore points and convert to a new model.   Then try again.

• selecting return snapshot shows a box of useless information

  Hello

  I have an exp WS10 running on PCLinuxOS and I was just back a snapshot.

  While I get a warning that the long mode has been disabled. While perhaps technically therefore, it is really a relevant info at a start of a new virtual machine that is 64-bit. In this case, my guest is 32-bit windows XP , and I didn't start the virtual machine, but restoration of a snapshot.
