• Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

  Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

  Scenario is,

  1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

  2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

  3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

  WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

  Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

  My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

  Kindly help with this problem.

  Thank you!!

  Dear all,

  I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

  VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

• Web client to modify the virtual machine settings

  We have several VMware environments that I help manage. So that we can train the junior members on the use of VMware, we have a few stand-alone hosts running v5.5u1.

  One of my colleagues copied a VM built with 10 Workstation to this host and received an error message on the VMDK becoming invalid. They tried to solve the problem by getting the host to upgrade the virtual machine. The virtual machine appears now as being "Version VM: vmx-10.

  The network for this virtual computer is set on connects don't not to put under tension, so we have no network on this virtual machine. If we right-click the virtual machine in vSphere Client and choose change settings, we receive this message:

  "You cannot use vSphere Client to change the settings of the virtual version 10 or higher machines.

  
  

  Use the vSphere Client Web to change the settings for this virtual machine".

  I know that the Web Client for stand-alone hosts was not available on 5.1 and I guess that's the same thing with 5.5. Is this correct? My attempts to try to load a page like this fails.

  Y at - there a command I can use 'downgrade' the version of virtual machine to any where I can change the settings with vSphere Client?

  It's not much you can do that and then get stuck without being able to change the settings for the virtual machine. Surely, they could detect if the host is connected to a vCenter and only enable this option if it is... or warn before you perform the upgrade!

  Thank you

  You can simply edit the vmx file and edit vmx - 10-vmx - 9.

• cannot not power off the virtual machine, but don't think the host it is running!

  I have two clusters VI3. An older cluster to 3.02 hosts and a new cluster with ESXi hosts. Level of current patch on ESXi hosts. New guests and old presenters sees the same storage, but I have additional storage which can see only the new virtual machine.

  Most of the migration to the new cluster went very well. A few questions. But a VM just GIVES me fits.

  After the failure of attempts to migrate the virtual machine to the new storage, I thought I just migrate the virtual machine to the new host and leave it on the old storage, for now, until we could find something later. VCenter events logs show that the migration has expired. However, the virtual machine appears in the new cluster and is no longer in the old cluster. Also, he turned on itself for some reason any. Turn off in Vcenter gives the error "the operation failed because another task is underway." Having the VM that I could put it off in before Vcenter, and no no unsure of how to use the RCLI for this, I have connected to the host directly mode "not supported" and has run vm-support - x to get the list of running virtual machines and their ID's so that I could kill him. However, the host does not include this virtual machine in the list of virtual machines. So I think a virtual computer that runs Virtual Center, but he thinks the host it runs on is unclear if I can't kill the process.

  Help?

• How to install the virtual machine to ISO image

  Rather than burning a CD from ISO images downloaded from each OS you want to build a virtual machine it would be more convenient to use the ISO image directly. How can I achieve this?

  Create the virtual computer with CD player.

  Double click the CD drive in the virtual machine properties.

  Select USE AN ISO IMAGE

  Navigate to the image.

  and also you can refer to this link

  VMware Workstation 12 Pro Documentation Center

  you're installation uses several CDs pleae follow this procedure

  First duty (if the customer has a button for this) eject the CD in the comments, then ctrl-alt to focus the host, right click on the CD icon in the bar area of low right state of the workstation user interface and select disconnect; repeat, and then click edit. Select the image ISO next necessary; reconnect; then click the mouse back in the window of the customer and to know that the next CD is loaded.

• Path to the file on the virtual machine

  Hi people

  I am aware of VMRUN and would use call programs on the virtual computer and move files between the host and the guest.  I don't know exactly what it does good, nor how these virtual machines are actually structured, so I would like someone to clarify for me if it is even possible to have a host path to a file on the client VM.

  For example, I use scripts from my Mac that do a lot of editing on the side of the virtual Windows machine - is there is a way, I can use to refer to and modify a file on the virtual machine without using VMRUN.

  Thank you very much!

  Mirroing is a little difficult, I don't think that anything that is either duplicated with shared folders.  What happens is the Windows to the Documents, music, path is set to a UNC path (vmware-host\), which is served by the VMware HGFS file system, a mechanism for sharing private with OS X.  In OS X, just the files live in any directory is shared.  But that's what you say, a place with several shared paths.

  For SMB sharing, sharing so once mounted on your Mac, OS X uses a SMB client to Yes go on the network to access files in your guest VM files standard Windows.  All traffic is host only, unless the virtual machine is filled and you use the Wifi connection, in which case the traffic can "bounce" the point of wireless as a jump.  There are ways to optimize the network path, so all traffic is strictly host only.

  I have not benchmarked HGFS v. SMB, but there is a "tax" anyway compared to the opening of the VM file on its file system local.  For your use case, it is probably useful to check the two options.

• After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

  Hello

  In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

  If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

  I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

  How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

  Any help is appreciated!

  Concerning

  Manfred

  Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

  I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

  Here's how:

  $vmName = 
  $tgtHost = 
  $tgtPool = 
  
  $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
  $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
  $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
  
  $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
  
  while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
    $task.UpdateViewData()
  }
  
  $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
  

  I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

  In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

  function Print-VmName{
       param($event)
  
       $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
       $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
       $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
       $vm = Get-View $MoRef
       Write-Host $vm.Name
  }
  
  $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
  $events | % {
       $event = $_
       $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
       switch ($eventType){
            "VmMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType

• A Boot Camp Partition, two Machines virtual VMware Fusion

  After the installation of the Boot Drive Partition *, I see now two versions of the Virtual Machine Boot Camp. Is this normal? Can I delete one with no impact on my Boot Camp? Should I remove VMware Fusion altogether and reinstall so that I can have a clean virtual machine only the partition boot camp?

  *It is on a separate post, but can be linked... Initially, I installed VMware Fusion, without first running training Camp and installed a Microsoft XP operating system on it. It stopped working and I had a lot of problems with Windows that I decided to do a new installation, but this time using Boot Camp. I can see two VMS, (actually 3*), but I want to remove the first virtual machine without Boot Camp. I tried the virtual machine under users/Documents/Virtual Machines, but the directory is empty. I deleted the directory, just in case. When I returned to VMware Fusion, it can still start the virtual machine. I looked through the finder and can't find it. If not, how can I remove this virtual computer and free up space for the Mac?  (No need to answer this question if it is not related to the top)

• Migrated virtual machine appears in the two data stores

  Hi all

  A bit of background on our installation first. servers ESX 3.5 vcenter 4.0 (just improved 2.5) + 2 + 2 data warehouses configured in 1 box of MSA.

  Here is what happened. I've migrated a VM from A to B data store using "Migrate" in vSphere client on vCenter.

  On the vSphere client, virtual machine displays now two data warehouses. In the browser data store, the vme even appears in the two data stores. Datastore shows 20 GB to 20 GB provisioned and 0 GB to 20 GB used. B displays 20 of 20 put into service and used 20 20 GB.

  Migration seems to have succeeded. I migrated about 10 other vm and they reside only on a data store. All virtual machines are working properly. I tried to migrate the computer back to A virtual. He showed only a data store. But the problem appeared again when I migrated the vm to B. I tried to move the virtual machine back and forth between servers ESX, no difference.

  Any ideas? The virtual machine is working well, and it is not necessarily a critical problem. But it's annoying, because I intend to reorganize the data store has and the fear it could cause a problem.

  Thank you so much in advance!

  anything mounted on the CD/DVD drive, as an ISO which can be on A Datastore?

• In the virtual machine boot sequence

  Hello

  I use VMware Workstation 6.5.1 with invited Suse Linux 11.0, and I would like to start the virtual machine to an ISO image (with Suse Linux 11.1). How can I set the boot sequence so that boot would proceed from the CD? This is adjustable in the VM, the guest operating system (GRUB?). Any information would be appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Yes - change the order of boot in BIOS - if you have any problem by pressing F12 (not enouch times, you can add a command in your file vmx;)

  bios.bootDelay = "5000".

• Launching applications from partition Bootcamp without starting the virtual machine

  Hi all, installed Fusion because my colleague was furious about how you can launch applications without even opening the windows. But I was not able to do. I use a Bootcamp partition and is not, and I'm assuming that this is the reason why this feature is not available for me, but if someone could shed some light on this would be great!

  Thank you

  I think that your colleague is a bit confused. By definition, any product of virtualization to run a prompt to perform a request for comments. If you start in Unity mode, you might see Windows not running, but it's there. I suspect that what your colleague is talking about is the suspension in Unity mode. If you then start a Notes application, the virtual machine will resume, and since it is in Unity mode, it will appear to run the comments without Windows display application.

  Run a Boot Camp virtual machine means that you can not suspend (or snapshot, but that is irrelevant to this issue) because this can lead to corruption of the disk.

• The mouse is confused - almost impossible to use the virtual machine more...

  Hello

  I use a number of VMWare (6.0.7 build-2844087) sessions player on my i7 quad core Windows 8.1 system for separate processes.  I don't do anything in my main boot environment is nice and clean.  I have a player for web browsing, one for email and a few others (game, video editing, etc.).  This separation gives me an easy backup/restore option for any computer virtual as well as prevention 1 VMS are attacked/infected/hacked/etc most I can lose, it is what is in this virtual machine.

  Something broke all of a sudden.  I don't know if it was the last update for VMware tools or some change made by windows update or maybe even a setting that I did.

  But now, my mouse is very confused.  If you look at the picture, you can see 2 pointers.  The bottom is my VM. The top appears with the VMWare container think that the mouse should be there. And the relationship between the 2 pointers constantly changes.  So I can select something in the virtual machine, but the tank of the virtual machine can think the mouse is on the VM bar and when I click the virtual computer closes, presentation of the changes of the screen, minimize, etc..

  

  I did some research.  All of my text is set to the smallest size (the most common fix I found.)  I have re-installed VMWare tools.  I tried to change the mouse settings in my VM and the primary host environment.

  It's to the point where I can't click without 1st checking the top of the window on my main screen or risk losing work, etc..

  Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  Thank you

  If anyone is interested in distance, I finally solved the problem.  My guess is that I could have reinstalled the main operating system.  Instead, I've upgraded to 10 Windows and then installed Player 7.1.2.  On the plus side, no more problems with 2 pointers mouse with one randomly showing where and when he wanted.

  On the negative, I always have to press Ctrl-Alt to get to the VMWare bar at the top of the window.  But it is a small price to pay for now to be productive again.

  FWIW, my guess is that upgrading to 7.1.2 is really what makes the difference.

• Problems of time (NTP) on the virtual machines within ESXi 4

  I had synchronization problems of intermittent time with my computers running on ESXi4 for quite a while now.  I thought that there were problems with my VM themselves and made some changes that appear to clear things for awhile.  The problems are back, and I'm starting to wonder if this is something being induced with ESXi itself.  My configuration is:

  ESXi 4.1.0

  -2 x Windows domain controller

  -Exchange Server x 2

  -FreeNAS

  VMWare tools are installed on all windows boxes.  FreeNAS is running without installed VMTools.  Domain controllers are set to use time NTP, servo out of an internet time server.  Client Windows have the default configuration and should be pulling the exact time of one of the two domain controllers.  FreeNAS is taking time to DCs.  Often when problems begin with authentication, it is because of the difference in clock being too great between servers, or between the Server / client.

  Are there recommended solutions for these issues?  I dug through the forum messages and the KBs and found a good bit of info but nothing that does not seem to solve these problems.

  I recommend you to configure a time outside of your virtual environment for you server ESXi hosts.

  Imagine that nothing is under tension, and you begin to start.

  Your domain controller will begin with your host ESXi (UTC) time until it can connect to the Internet to update time.

  At this time most VMs are probably on the wrong time, and it creates a lot of problems.

  After the updating of the DC then only will be hosting ESXi synch at the exact time. Quite a turn messed up

  If your ESXi have an external NTP server, they boot with the exact time and start all the virtual machines with the exact time.

  Hello whitelotus,

  If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

  Use the following steps:

  (1) right click on the program

  2) click Properties

  3) click on the Compatibility tab

  (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

  Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

  If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

  1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

  Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting tool, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

  2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

  If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

  If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

  If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3^rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  Hope that answers your question.

• Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

  Hi all

  (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

  We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

  We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

  I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

  Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

  TIA

  Mark
