Can not power on a suspended Virtual Machine

When I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get a screen that says:

"Recommendations for [VMname] home".

Right of priority recommendation
* Place [VMname] host [ESX host name] power on Virtual Machine
* Place [VMname] host [ESX host name] power on Virtual Machine


I select the host on which there are currently on and hit 'Turned on' in the lower right

Once the virtual machine attempted to power on it gives an error in the pane "" recent tasks "" "a file is not found.

Then I look in the events for the virtual machine and I see that this warning was generated after power on the operation and before the error "file not found":

Migration [VMname] of [ESXhostname] to [same ESXhostname] [DatacenterName]: back to the snapshot may generate errors (warnings) on the destination host.


The State of the virtual machine is "suspended".  I can try to hit again "Power On", but exactly the same thing happens.

I tried to remove the virtual machine from the inventory and time, and it's the same thing.

It is an environment 3.5 3.5 ESX and a Virtual Center Server 3.5 hosts.  The material of the virtual machine is version 7.

Thank you for your ideas

Doesn't sound very promising.

To find out what we can do I need more info. Please attach:

  • a list of files in the folder of the virtual machine (on the console, run ls-lisa in the virtual machine folder)
  • all the header files vmdk (small dish or delta in their names)
  • the vmsd file
  • the vmx file

Have you ever taken a peek at all the other files on the data store, where the files were accidentally moved?

André

PS: How much free disk space you have on the data store?

  • can not clone or create a virtual machine for vsandatastore

    Hi all

    I try to clone a virtual machine to vsandatastore. But I get the follow error:

    -> policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records.

    -> failed to create the object:

    The hardware configuration is:

    I/o Controller: LSI SAS9271-8i

    HARD DRIVE: ST91000640SS

    SSD:Intel SSSDSC2BA400G3

    10GE: Intel 82599

    When I create a virtual machine or create a file vsandatestore on the web client. I also see the same error.

    Could someone give me some suggestions? I do not know how to solve this problem.


    Thank you!

    > Policy requires 2 replicas with discs 1 each with 0 bytes free each. Only found 0 these records

    This means that all three nodes in the cluster is not participating in the storage. Check if all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup and contributing to the storage

    default vsan strategy is 1 failure to tolerate what creates two replicas. so that you can either ensure that all 3 nodes have at least 1 diskgroup or create a vm storage policy replacing the default values

    Thank you

  • Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

    Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

    Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
    error

    1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

      lsof | grep

      COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
      71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

      Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

      Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

      kill the 3631

      After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

    2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

      CD/tmp
      VM-support - x

      Available to debug worlds:
      WID =

      On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

      VM-support - X

      Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

      Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

      After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

    Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

    The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
    Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

    Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

    You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
    I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

    Hello

    I found the solution.

    I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

    and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

    I did and now there works.

    I think that the problem can come from this.

  • Performance metric power group do not show anything on the virtual machine

    Hello

    I have a small question about the metrics of power Group found on the side of the virtual machine in the charts of perf ahead. It shows only 0 for usage.

    If I'm in the same group of metric on the host, it shows the values.

    do you know why it does not show anything on the virtual machine. is a group of metric that is not usable for virtual machines?

  • 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.

    Host operating system: Victoire 2012 R2

    The VM OS: win 10 x 64

    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".

  • Cannot start a suspended virtual machine - impossible to find. VDMK

    Here's the situation.  I supported the package with the virtual machine using time capsule.  I got a serious problem and has decided to remove the virtual machine and return to the time capsule backup.

    Between making the backup and now VMWARE fusion doing an update.

    I can't start the restored VM.  He says he can't find the VDMK if referenced is there, is not corrupt and seems to be in good shape.

    So I thought I would just create a new virtual machine from the VDMK - or even add another virtual computer disk so I could pull some files needed from her.

    It does not work.  When choosing the VDMK - it is gray - and unselectable.

    Issues related to the:

    1. What can I do to get the virtual machine to start

    2. What can I do to ensure that I can select the VDMK and create a new VM from it if I'm not number 1?

    Thanks for any help - I'm quite sunk at this stage.

    Unfortunately, it seems that the 7 VM window is one of the hard data files ("Windows 7 - s010.vmdk") which I assume has a size between 1 and 2 GB missing! Please see if it's available in your backup.

    If this is not the case and you need to access the files on the virtual disk, create a new virtual machine, copy one of the newly created - s00x.vmdk files to the package Windows 7 VM and rename it to "Windows 7 - s010.vmdk. With this fact, or create a snapshot, and then try to turn on the computer virtual or not power on at all, but attach the virtual disk of the virtual machine to another / helper VM as a second drive to be able to access the files you need.

  • 2 VDR "impossible to create the snapshot for &lt; system &gt;, error-3960 (cannot suspend virtual machine).

    We test VDR on our ESXi 4.1.0 cluster 381591 and we have a few backups to a test Windows 2003 server and a Linux server and they backed up fine. We have a backup of a Windows 7 computer virtual test and we had a bunch of these errors...

    Failed to create the snapshot for systemname, error-3960 (can not suspend virtual machine)

    Which is strange because I can go in vSphere client and manually create a snapshot and remove without problem. Any ideas on why this is happening?

  • Can not power on vm after the deletion of snapshots

    Hello, I'm afraid that I watered a virtual machine. It's on ESXi 4.1. I deleted all snapshots and now I can not power on a virtual machine. Power on the selection is grayed out.

    Is there a way to get back on this virtual machine? I still see the 10G vmdk file in the data store if it matters.

    TIA

    How big are the snapshots? Maybe the process is still ongoing! Generally remove snapshots works without problems if you run lack of disk space, so I think you need to just be patient.

  • You can edit vmx file while the virtual machine is running? And is it safe?

    You can edit vmx file while the virtual machine is running? And is it safe?

    Hello

    Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

    If you edit the VMX while the virtual machine is powered on change is not levied until the power off then power on (not reboot) and there is a good chance that the change will be deleted when turn you off the system. So it is not safe to do so.
