• Can not power up the virtual computer after failure of storage

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM myvm. Cannot create the file ' / vmfs/volumes/53309937-d077e300-a76c-0025b51a12ae/myvm/vmx-CDCSA1-805443817-1.vswp ': host no is not a newspaper could not start VMX: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NO_JOURNAL

  Restart the ESX host solved the problems.  Restart all services did not help.  Air data warehouses / ReadOnly.  VMotion would hang up on VM associated with these stores of data so that means a failure, forcing the host to restart.

• vSphere API - how to determine if a virtual computer is storage vMotioned?

  Hello

  Is there a level of the API test to determine if a virtual computer is storage vMotioned?

  We have an automation script that performs operations on a virtual machine and we would like to expect storage vMotion (triggerred by a human or automated DTS) to complete before continuing.

  Thank you

  I think the best way would be to check the list of disabledMethod for the virtual machine.

  Each managed object VirtualMachine (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.VirtualMachine.html) has a property disabledMethods (http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.ManagedEntity.html#disabledMethod).  You can check this property to ensure that the MigrateVM_Task method is not disabled (you may need to check a few methods be sure - you should see what it disabled when its being svmotioned).  If the relevant methods are not disabled, you can be confident this isn't in vmotioned.

  The other option would be to get the current list of events in VC, filtered by the name of the Virtual Machine and ensure that none of them have migration tasks in the process.

• need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment of the vm

  Hi all

  I have a script to deploy a computer virtual to a CSV file. I need to change the configuration of virtual machine (CPU and memory) after the deployment of the vm. where the name of the virtual machine should be taken to csv. So any help is appreciated.

  Attach the script used. (downloaded and works fine)

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  New-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - VMHost - $VMHost model $Template - $Datastore - Datastore RunAsync

  }

  # This cmd need to run after the vm deployment completed. The virtual computer name must come from the 1 column of the CSV file

  Set-VM $vmname - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "All VMs deployed" - ForegroundColor Green

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  CSV file looks like this

  Name, host datastore, Template, customizing

  Test-VM,vm-dep-test,ESX02,P5-vm-stage,vm-deploy

  Thanks in advance...

  A simpler, but not optimal, solution is to use the Wait-job cmdlet.

  Something like that

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  $tasks = @)

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  $tasks += new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - model $Template - VMHost $VMHost '

  Data - $Datastore - RunAsync store

  }

  Waiting-task-task $tasks

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $vm.name set-VM - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  }

• Reload the Configuration of the virtual computer after changing the VMX file

  Hello

  If I make changes to a file on a virtual machine's .vmx in vCenter 5.5 is automatically valid configuration for the engine power vm off? I made some changes earlier and it seemed to be the case, but one of the steps that I see in some of the documents is to reload the configuration of the vm, so it can be used appropriately. So this happens automatically or not?

  Hello

  If she turned off the virtual computer, then during power on, changes to take effect.

• burn mp3 to CD audio files, can not put all the files in the 1 disc,

  I am trying to burn mp3 to CD audio, if I choose audio CD, some how when I drag the file in the burn list, it's auto show 1 file in a single disc, how can I put all files on 1 disc? If I choose the data disk, so I put all the files in the 1 disc

  In fact, when you copy MP3 files as such, it is written as such, in digital format. In other words, the size of the file is important here. Depending on the size of CD, 650 MB to 800 MB, you can add files only up to the storage capacity of the CD.

  In the case of the audio CD, the data is written in analog format (as a cassette tape or gramophone record). In other words, in the present case, the duration of the file audio issues. The capacity varies between approximately 74 minutes to 90 minutes, respectively.
  Because each file is 50 + minutes, as stated in your post, it is normal to restrict a file per CD, such as the capacity is 74 minutes to 90 minutes. If you use the MP3/WMA format instead, you can put all the files in a single CD.
  Answer if your problem is not solved.

• No network connection to the virtual computer after migration manually to the new host

  We have added six new hosts to our environment, and I was tasked to test connections of VIRTUAL LAN on each of them before we move VM production of their.  This is probably a simple problem, but I am new to VMWare and need help.  I already talked to our network guys, and he assures me that the physical switches are setup and working properly.  We work a vDS.

  I'm testing 14 VLANs on six new hosts.  All but one are constantly working.  (They all work on the hosts of origin which were in force before.)  I have a static IP configuration on my test VM and MAC is set to automatic.  I checked the MAC does not change when you migrate to other hosts and the VLAN correct is listed in the settings the VM network (it is not empty).  Him VLAN will work on three of the six hosts, but not all at the same time.  The strange thing is that guests at work are constantly changing.  For example, this morning hosts11, 12 and 14 may work, but this afternoon, that could change at hosts12, 14 and 16.  I don't understand why they would change on their own.

  My test consists of VM testing, migration manually, powering back, then he ping from my computer off.  Of course everything works when I get ping responses.  When I get no answers, the test of the virtual machine has a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon in the system tray.

  What should I do to fix this?

  How is the network configured?  You have a different NIC port/cable for each VLAN or Trunking used on the side of the switch?

  If you use circuits on the side of the switch, then your GRPE ports virtual switch a VLAN ID needs to match the vlan is underway to shared resources.  No matter if it's a standard switch or switch distributed... you still need this ID of vlan.

  I've seen the random question that you encounter if missing one or more of of the uplinks on the side of the switch the VLAN.

• Re-create the virtual computer after the failure of the host

  Hi all

  Yesterday I encounter a questions that I struggle to deal with approprietly:

  Some old 3.5 host crashed and after reboot, one of the virtual machine (ubuntu) has been corrupted or issued in the inventory. Normally remove inventory

  and re - register always help again--this time, after removing the inventory - there is no vm file - only content on screen attached.

  I have searched for solutions, but since I did not compatible vmdk - I do not know what first?

  Prospects for some advice...

  Thanks in advance!

  

  I would start by searching other stores of data for the VMX file or in a directory with the same name that the VM - if you don't think I'd attempt to rebuild the virtual machine, but instead of creating a new virtual I slelect use an existing disk and point to the - delta file that is a snapshot.

• Unable to start the virtual computer after restoring the backup

  Hello

  I have a very big problem! I have a Machine virtual Windows Server 2003 on a Mac Mini with Mac OS 10.6.8 2009 Sever Server and VMWare Fusion 4.1.1 and I had a record of crash! A backup is performed daily and I take snapshots of security risk.

  I changed the faulty HARD drive and restore "Mac Data. Now I want to restore my data from VM, but after that, I can't throw my VM. I have this error message: "Unable to get information on snapshots, lock down." (French translation, it can differ from original English message).

  I get on the internet and found that you must delete the snapshots and try again, but when I do this, I have this error message: "the VM seems to be used. The same thing when I want to create a new capture instant.

  I'm stuck and I have to solve that before Monday...

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  With the merger closed, open the package of vmwarevm of the VM (CTRL-click) and delete all the files and folders with a .lck extension. These files are used to lock the files logically and very probably contain stale data.

  BTW. do you really need > 20 shots? Too many clichés can slow down the virtual machine significantly.

• Unable to connect to the console of the virtual computer after dns change

  I finished just change of my VM and VC servers esx hosts to use the new dns servers. In addition the area changed as follows

  from vm1.subdom1.xxx.com to vm1.subdom2.xxx.com the esx hosts and vCenter server all underwent this change at the same time although ip addresses have remained the same.

  In vCenter but I do not see "cannot connect to MKS: address for server vm1subdom1.xxx.com host lookup failed: no host is unknown.»

  If I log into the esx vSphere Client with server can't connect to the console where I can say vCenter to use the new name of the virtual machine instead of the old host? I can ping and resolve the vm from the vCenter server and RDP to DNS so it works but vCenter is still going to the old address.

  Any help?

  To access the Console of the virtual machines... the vCenter does not really rely on the DNS config. It communicates only through ports 902/903

  This problem could have arisen due to some misconfig while changing the DNS... .pls try below

  Remove and re-add the vCenter ESX Server

  Restart the ESX management services... #Service mgmt-vmware restart

• Can not turn off the password request after inactivity

  Whenever I get out my phone, it displays a login window when I get back.  I went to the power options, checked "Don't require a password on wakeup" and rebooted, but it keeps asking for the password.  Where else this function is controlled?

  Tried your suggestion - created the new account of a user with administrator privileges & disconnected.  When I did, he triggered a BSOD & restarted.  When I logged on as the new user, the problem does not occur.

  Now, the question is to know how repair my existing profile - I wouldn't do it again.  Is there somewhere in the registry where this function?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
  See if you can follow the above article.
  First part is the creation of an account of neww you have already done so.
  The 2nd part is to copy files to the new account.
  Remember that you must have 3 accounts to carry out instructions. For example, create a 3rd account if you do not. Just to get this done with copy.
  PS You should always have 2 admin accounts. The 2nd admin account acts as your account of emergency backup if the 1st admin is corrupted and you can not connect it. In this way, you will never get locked out of the machine.

• Storage test 55 certification vmotion, storage vmotion fails with "Could not lock file" on the virtual machine during storage vmotion

  In my view, that it is a known problem in ESXi 5.5 Update 2 release notes, someone knows a solution yet? This is an excerpt from the release notes:

  • Attempts to perform live storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail
    Storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail and virtual machines can be considered in turned off of the State. Attempts to turn on the virtual machine fails with the following error:
    
    Cannot lock the file
    
    Workaround: No.

  VMware support for the record said that the patch will update 3, it is known as an intermittent problem. Finally, it happened to me on the 9th attempt.

• flying over the vmdk files after storage vmotion

  People,

  I finished a few vmotions storage and I see that there are some vmdk files left belonging to a virtual machine by flying over in the source data store.

  Storage vmotion however was very good. Time last modified files are several months old.

  If the vmdk files are old players was dismantled some time back?

  There are also a few - zdump.000 left side files in source data warehouses. should you be worried about those?

  Rahul-

  Although I suppose the files are orphans, I always double-check for use before deleting. Virtual disk file (hard) can be changed only in case Active snapshots exist for them. What you can do is run RVTools, to see if these files appear as 'Zombies' and if so, I would say you first create a subdirectory and move the "orphans" files above and - if everything continues to work as expected - delete at a later date. Alternatively you can check the vmware.log of the virtual machine file to see if the files appear here.

  Zdump files are created if something unexpected occurs. However, it is difficult to say what the brought to be created and if they are old and have any problems, you can delete just them.

• Can not put on the Satellite M65 - S809 extended desktop

  On my previous Satellites I have always extended my office to a different view without problem, but my M65-S809 refuses. After I put in place the display properties and click "Apply", the second monitor greys out and becomes 'say-joint.

  I tried to remove the PnP displays in Device Manager, I tried an another M65-S809 laptop.
  Operating system is Windows XP 2002 SP2. The display's default monitor on Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family.Express

  Hello

  Perhaps you set the bad for external monitor screen resolution. Generally in this way there is no error message just to picture. In this case my TFT screen displays? out of range? Message.

  Experiment with different screen resolutions. Try it also with the FN + F5 key combination.
