Automatically shut down the guest operating system, on closure of the host

Hello

I am considering VMWare Server 2 transition to Esxi 4.1. In VMWare Server, it is very easy to configure the OS to automatically stop when host stops, but I can't find the setting for it in VSphere Client asked.

Thank you

John

  • Most recent version of the guest operating system as the host of the basic version?

    H there, just a quick question.

    Would this work if guest operating system is 10.7 but host operating system is 10.6.8? I use 4 Fusion

    Very much appreciated.

    Technically by the OS X ALS detail you can only virtualize a legally virtalizable version of Mac OS X (Client) under him.  In other words under OS X 10.6 Client ALS detail allows to be virtualized so so technically the only legally virtalizable version of Mac OS X is Mac OS X Server 10.5.x/10.6.x that which is technically required by the SLA in detail and what is technically possible are two different things.  In other words we can virtualize OS X 10.7 (Client or server) but ALS retail for OS X 10.7 requires it be done on OS X 10.7.  Now VMware and VMware Fusion or not apply this requirement and it is up to the user to work in the product EULA and or SLA.

    BTW I don't remember if VMware Fusion 4 supported OS x 10.7, but if it's a selectable BONE in the wizard, then you can try though in violation of ALS retail for OS X 10.7 If you use a retail OS X 10.7.

  • The VM startup slow down, delay long before the guest operating system begins startup

    Evaluation of VMWare to set up the VM for the maintenance of the software. Set up a virtual machine, install Windows 7 SP1 32-bit, everything works well. Once started, the performance is excellent.

    The symptom is that when you start the virtual machine, either starting from cold boot or suspend, there is a significant delay before the power of VMware on / start screen is displayed. Once it appears, the operating system starts starting (or the recovery of wakefulness) quickly and performance is normal after that. During the start-up period, the whole system is insensitive, host and guest operating system.

    See the extract of newspaper below to 09:54:28.619 moment where the delay occurs followed by the entry concerning 09:55:11.625 time when start continues, a delay of 43 seconds during which nothing seems to happen and the system does not respond. After that, everything is fast.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hello

    I know what you want to say as I've seen sometimes as well. But especially on older hardware or if there are problems with regard to particular resources. For example I saw this on an ESX host (yes I know product different) where there was a problem with the storage not enough providing IOPS / s.

    I saw also this on older versions of Linux (IIRC 7) workstation where the host had an Atom based CPU, there I updated to more RAM and a more recent version of the workstation and the problem disappeared.

    Then I also saw it on the 4/5 merger when my host operating system was out of memory and I tried to start another operating system to prompt anyway.

    I do not consider a normal behavior for the slow start and does not respond, it is an indication that the hypervisor is seeking some resources, but does not receive them fast enough.

    The reasons can be many. Indeed things like antivirus could be biting you if she tries to analyze all files (including virtual disks) at their opening.

    FWIW, I also understand the support response as would be expected if your host is a bit thin on the resources (for example, trying to start a VM 1 GB on a host Win7 with only 3.5 GB of RAM) and if the virtual machine runs OK after the initial startup delay, it's mostly just an annoyance.

  • VM does not start after the crash of the guest operating system

    VM Workstation 10.03

    Host OS Ubuntu 12.04

    Guest OS Windows XP SP3

    VM normally works well under VM for over a year.

    While I was updating a mp3 Player XP is crushed, and even power off the virtual machine does not work.

    After a Resart of the host operating system, the guest could not start.

    I deleted the directory .lck file.

    When I start the VM OS prompt written

    Loading... - VMware Workstatiion

    and nothing else happens.

    Another guest operating system will work very well.

    How can I restart my XP?

    After a day down from the host (a very cold reboot) and deleting all .lck files.

    VM aloowed me to dispose of the session.

    After that cold booted XP as it was before.

    Thanks to a.p. to put me on the right forum.

  • Adding SCSI - HOST OS card works fine, GUEST operating system does not see the new hardware

    I have a HOST Windows XP Pro SP3 with VMWare v6.5.2 running Windows Server 2003 R2 STD, SP2 as OS GUEST running on any new Dell Precision T3500 Workstation.

    I've closed the COMMENTS and then HOST. Installed an Adeptec SCSI 39160 card in the PC. The card is a 64-bit and is installed in a PCI 32-bit slot. (It is backwards compatible with 32 - bit)

    Powered on PC. Install the drivers of Adeptec on the HOST. Works fine and I can see the card under Windows XP. Rebooted and everything is always OKm POST shows the installed card and search devices. I have no device attached at this point.

    GUEST operating system has started and it does not automatically detect the card. Tried to run the Add Hardware Wizard and same result. Tried to use VMWare to install the new Hard ware with no result.

    Can tell you how I can get the OS TO see / use the new SCSI card?

    golden rule:

    old guest will love the buslogic controller

    new comments will love the lsi-logic controller

    It depends on your guest

  • Binds a guest operating system to one of the two network adapters on the host computer?

    Sorry if the topic is confusing.  I have a host operating system to Server 2008 running on a server that has two network jacks.  Allows to call an (192.168.10.24) and B (192.168.10.25).

    My guest operating system is set to bridged with the IP 192.168.10.26 mode

    I want to say VMWare to always use A NIC when it comes with this guest operating system.  Is this possible?

    In my (Control Panel Windows) network connections, I see my two NICs A and B as well as VMWare Network Adapter WMnet1 and VMnet8.

    Thank you!

    Run the utility for configuring the network (vmnetcfg.exe) as an administrator on the host computer, disable the automatic bypass, set vmnet0 to one of your physical network cards and a virtual NETWORK adapter not used, such as VMnet2, and then assign the other physical NIC. Then to your comments, change its settings and select vmnet0 or vmnet2.

  • T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

    Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

    We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

    • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
    • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
    • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

    New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

    I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

    See you soon,.

  • Performance problem with the guest operating system

    Hello gurus - I have one of the most unusual questions, I ran into a few time.   Here it is:

    I have a guest w2008R2 OS - installed in a 5.1 version of VM 7 vSpherer - which has an Emulex LPe 12002-E 8 GB dual HBA port is assigned to the as 2 PCI (1 device per port) via DirectPath devices

    The guest operating system has an application that performs backup tests.   WWPN of the HBA is zoned in the fabric and declared in the interface of Compellent Storage Center and everything is good here. the application creates a replay of a volume, mount it as a drive, read all the blocks, then dismantles and moves then repeat the process with what ever additional volumes should be safeguarded.   It is so cool I have do this with a VM right and not a physical host?  (would be cool if I had work NPIV but that's another story, not with technology HBA vendor support...)

    So, what's the problem?   Well, the bed the mounted disk backup will work extremely slow as slow as 5MB\sec flow, then during any other activity takes place on the system the flow jumps up to 150MB\sec all of a sudden and will continue to run fast for a long time and finish jobs on time with each work taking a little more than an hour.  But when the slow going the same work (all jobs are the same, they are simply by reading all the blocks of a bunch of 200 GB volumes and wrote a set of NULL value, do not forget this is just test) takes up to 10 hours to complete.

    I think that what is the culprit?   POWER MANAGEMENT.

    I have just about each performance counter and the journal of events known to man and I don't see anything abnormal on the table, ESXi virtual machine, nothing.  But what I see in the newspapers is any kind of activity that could happen in a transparent manner to save energy.

    FACTS on this case:

    -Reservation of memory is defined (it must be for directpath otherwise, you can't power on the virtual machine)

    -Booking CPU - has not been defined before an hour ago, I gave her just a small reserve for this rule, so I do not know if this will help alleviate the slow flow, or have an effect on what I think is a question of power (unit linked) management

    -windows power management is set to high performance never-ever - but not until an hour there doesn't I changed advanced settings for USB Disabled------turned off.  PCI peripheral energy saving setting was already off.  Which is in contradiction with my theory.  But maybe, just maybe, something is broken somewhere, or could be a bug... blah blah blah

    -the HBA, Emulex, as it appears in Device Manager in the guest OS doesn't have a power management tab to disable the feature, I don't see that the adapter VMXNET3 had this tab, and I turn off the power save setting to be conservative, do not think that it was the culprit, but as there is no real data running through the NIC.  The data is simply to be read from the disk mounted, not copied on any wire Ethernet.  never the less, in the Emulex properties is a Details tab and a selection of power data, and performance data indicate you what power mode, the device is, as well as feeding supported systems.  D0: full power, but D3, which shows as supported by the device, is an energy saving mode.   I could not yet attend the setting at the time of slow activity, my good intention as soon as possible. He is currently shooting in D0, full power.

    This is so what I have to offer on this, I hope that its just...   If I'm missing something, or if others have experienced this massive loss of unknown flow without reason and have resolutions, please share.

    If there is a way for me to disable power on the Emulex HBA management inform you please, I don't mind if I stop to enter the firmware, if that was even possible.  But if possible I would disable it immediately before any new tests are executed.

    The root cause of this issue has never been identified by VMware support which for me is a question of ugly.  Reservation of CPU for the VM using directpath IO with HBA installed in it corrected the problem.  I'd be leary with direct path IO.
