• With instant full VM LUN and now the virtual machine will not start or register

  Hello

  I have a case here, where we have a virtual machine that quickly filled the logic unit number and the snapshot is currently 110 GB. It is now available on the new LUN space, but the VM does not start and he was also addressed as 'unknown' in the viclient. I tried to cancel the registration and check-in again, but he refuses to register. It seems that the snapshot is damaged.

  When you try to save it, I get the following in hostd.log:

  Any help is appreciated.

  The problem (according to the newspaper) is AXAPTA_1-000001 - delta.vmdk no AXAPTA_1-000002 - delta.vmdk (the error on the second snapshot is probably because of the broken parent snapshot).

  The descriptors are ok, which means that the VMDK itself is broken.

  If you do not have a backup, you can try the following:

  -Copy the files in another data store

  -change the second snapshot descriptor to point to the basedisk as the parent

  -Try and mount the drive

  -If you're lucky, you should be able to recover at least some data of

  -If the disklib is complaining again then the two snapshots are broken - which is unlikely

  Depending on how old the second snapshot (the older one is better it is) the method above will not help.

• The latest XP update has been installed. Machine will not start now. How should I do?

  Original title: Windows XP update killed my PC
  April 13, 2011, the latest XP update has been installed.  Machine will not start now.  How should I do?

  Thank you

  From the F8 Advanced Boot Options menu, were you unable to choose:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Your system sounds like it restarts to determine what he complains and then someone can help you to repair.

  This is why there is a disable automatic restart on system failure option...

  There is another option in the menu F8 Advance Startup Options:

  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)

  I do not think that this will help you, but you can at least say you tried it if someone suggests.

  MS products generally work as expected, but may not perform as desired or expected.  You can push that dog and make good the bark.

• Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

  It shows:

  This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  VMware Workstation 12.1

  Hello

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

  Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

  See also:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

  You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

• Convert physical PC-> virtual machine will not cancel the mouse capture

  Currently using VMWare workstation 8.05 on Win7 x 64.

  I am using since VMware workstation on version 6 with a few problems. All my machines have been created in workstation (installation of the OS, etc.).

  A few months ago, I had an another XP x 32 box which had a POWER failure, and I always wanted to virtualize this area anyway, so I hooked up a spare PSU and stand-alone client to vCenter Converter to convert. Unlike all my other VMs, that seamless capture and cancel the capture of the mouse, this virtual machine will come out only the mouse using Ctrl-Alt, otherwise the mouse stops at the border of the screen.

  I messed with the settings of the virtual machine (although nothing has really made a difference). I have set the floppy drive to automatically detect, I installed VMWare keyboard extended (or whatever it's called) and uninstalled the mouse drivers that were on the machine (did not find records containing these drivers, just them uninstalled from properies of mouse window).

  I would really, really like to get this virtual machine works like the others, as I use it often and my productivity would go up if I didn't have to do deal with this mouse cancel the capture of question.

  Thanks for any help!

  Keith

  Since the Department of totally random ideas: your converted VM by chance he mouse "pointer trails" enabled?  If so, try disabling this option.  We had some users report that the activation of this option somehow the cause of the problem you are experiencing.  Thanks to rob_oli to describe this solution (and providing a screenshot too) in this post.

  See you soon,.

• Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

  Hello

  I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

  When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

  The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

  It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

  I use folder2iso

  To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

• Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

  I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

  According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

  Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

• Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

  I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

  Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

  I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  TIA!

  Katie

  To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

  Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

• Virtual machines will not open

  So far I'm not having a good time with the merger. I created two virtual machines. In one, I imported my Parallels VM XP. In the other, I installed Windows 7 Pro, and then installed my genealogy software and copied into the database. Yesterday, I had both open, comparing the two databases to make sure that I had copied later. I had to stop, so I suspended the two virtual machines and leave the merger.

  Today, when I came back, I took the W7 machine. He refused to come and basically crashed. I started again. He came, seemingly OK initially. I went to a different record in the data, and that seemed to work. But I had a problem with my wireless keyboard, so I plugged in a USB keyboard.

  At this point, the W7 machine responds more completely, the keyboard or mouse. Shortly, it crashed. And when I try to restart it, it comes up saying "internal error." Initially, there was some message not to seek a process to connect to, but now I get the message "Internal error" (after several attempts). The evidence of what can happen? What toast VM and I have to start?

  Either way, the XP VM will be no more back from suspension. It causes the Fusion go out of order, and I have to force it to quit.

  So, for the moment, nothing works. I am impressed! Can anyone offer help? I'm about to abandon my trial and return to Parallels.

  It might be useful to take a step back and cringe before sprint with Fusion.  You might be an expert, but we do not know what kind of Mac you have (speed, carrots, RAM), the amounts assigned to the virtual machines.  All this can affect the interaction with the machine runs especially 2 or several virtual machines at the same time.

  First of all, good Center seems, I suggest a reboot for the update of Mac OS X in the level of play.  Set a virtual computer at a time.  From XP, if the virtual machine is suspended you can remove suspended RAM State (or the saved state) then restart the virtual machine, it will go through the normal boot process and not repeated from the suspended state.  For this, I recommend to locate the beam of the XP VM as on the collection of information for VMware Fusion and remove the .vmss file.  To do this, before launching VMware Fusion.  If so do it separately for the VM and Win 7 as well.  Then start VMware Fusion and exercise your XP VM.  Once you think it doesn't, stop the XP VM.  Then, start the VM 7 Win and see if it still gives you an error.  If so, see details here indicated such in the Backgrounder Gathering.  If this isn't the case, exercise the VM Win7 run alone to see if it is stable.

  Once the two virtual machines are independently stable, read choose the right virtual computer settings to make sure that each virtual machine settings are tuned to your needs.  If you intend to run 2 or more virtual machines, special attention to the sum total of the use of the RAM compared to what is the surplus for OS X and its applications.

  Hope this helps,

• Virtual machine does not start and...

  Dear vmware forums community,

  I have a problem, I use VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

  However, I have some problems using it.

  First of all, VMware does not allow me to start one of my Virtual Machines, when I click on 'Open' Options tab still does not open.

  Secondly, I can't install Virtual Machines since yesterday. These two problems came today when I turned on my host PC.

  I tried to do the two things by using VMplayer, it does the same thing as VMware Workstation.

  I also tried to uninstall VMware and install again and also I tried to delete the .lck files and it does not work.

  Yesterday, when it was all working well, I turned off the virtual machines by the following method, ' turn off this machine "or something like that (I clicked on the cross in the name of the machine)

  I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

  In this case - even if you have already uninstalled/installed VMware Workstation - I would recommend that do you it again. This time, clean install and reboot the system before you re-install. How to clean and a script, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1308

• Virtual machines will not work after missing 6.5 upgrade, / dev/vmmon

  I recently updated my build-126130 VMware Desktop 6.0.5 to 6.5.1 and now none of my virtual machines are running.  When I try to start them, I get the following error:

  "Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory."

  Please make sure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded. »

  When I looked in the directory/dev, there is no listed vmmon device.

  From everything I've read, upgrade worked very well.  The application starts without any apparent problems.  I suspect since all my virtual machines worked really well until I restarted the laptop, there is a problem loading the kernel module.

  I'm under openSUSE 11.0.

  I liked all the ideas that everyone has.

  Kind regards

  Jim

  Hello

  It is sometimes a problem with the new GUI to create modules from the kernel, which is most likely what you're hitting right now.

  Have a look here:

  http://www.VI-Toolkit.com/wiki/index.php/Build_host_vmware_kernel_modules

  This might help a little, the notes are not yet specific SUSE. If the script Christmas help and you had to do something different on SUSE then I would appreciate it if you add a note to this topic.

  Thank you

• Virtual machine does not start after completing a physical machine coversion

  I used VMWare Converter 5.5.3 to create a virtual machine from an existing, Windows Pro 8.1 laptop from work.  The conversion process has indicated no error.  When I try to start the virtual machine on a different host, however, he died almost immediately.  I'm using VMWare Workstation 9.0.4, my host OS is Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and the guest operating system is Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit).

  When it comes on, I see 'VMware' logo instead of loading and after a few seconds, the computer virtual turns off with no visible error message.  I tried to run the virtual machine on multiple machines, and both have the same results.  Host machines running all other virtual machines I tried without problem.

  I tried to change some of the parameters of the virtual machine via the GUI, but nothing seems to affect behavior.  I ran the other VMs Pro 8.1 of Windows on this computer before host, it's just this particular virtual machine.

  I attached the zip file management tool of data collection to support, as well as the vmware.log file.

  Can someone point me in the right direction of a cause or a resolution to this problem?  Thank you in advance.

  I was able to do some additional research after I posted and found the relevant error in the log:

  PCIXHCI: Cannot save the PCIe xHCI hardware

  I found this vmware KB article that describes the problem:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2041591

  Once I set the VM to use USB 2.0 (instead of 3.0), it starts as expected.
