• Cannot add new vmdk to vm from data store space free

  Hello

  what I am doing wrong?

  When trying to add new vmdk of VM (SQL) of free space to store data, I get an error. See attach...

  I tried 19GB, 18 GB, and even 10GB... the same error. As you can see there is 19.46 GB of free space on the data store.

  Thank you.

  chances are you have snapshots or Exchange memory files using this space.

  Best practices of VMware is to leave 25 + % free on your VMFS volumes.

  I weoud suggest you use another if possible VMFS volume

• Cannot add a vmdk file to existing machine

  We have received a customer vmdk file that they want us to add to one of their existing virtual machines. After downloading it in the virtual machine data store, trying to add, it doesn't show. It can only be seen if I create a new virtual machine and choose the drive as a system disk. However, then do not start. The vmdk file did not come with a configuration file. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

  I assume that you have only the "die" vmdk file, not the smaller descriptor vmdk which explains why you can see in the VI Client (the descriptor file is what you actually see when you search a VMDK file, not the flat file / data file) once you've imported it. If the file came from Vmware Server or Workstation, it should still have a file descriptor with it - without it you are stuck. If you don't have two files, I'm not sure you can convert using Vmware convertor - you must try this one by yourself according to the previous tips.

  You can try to recreate the VMDK descriptor for the flat file. There is a VMware KB on how to proceed:

• Cannot add existing VM to VMware Server 2.0.2 on Debian Linux

  It is apparently a fairly general failure, and I don't know where to start to look at to diagnose.  I hope that I just have something wrong set somewhere.

  I try to add an existing virtual machine in Windows 7 (created on VMware Fusion 2.x, then migrated to Fusion 3.0) to my new dedicated VMware Server 2 fancy box.  I copied the entire VM directory structure (in a toplevel .vmware directory) to the same subdirectory where the other virtual machines on VMware Server 2 box.  I click on the link 'Add Virtual Machine inventory' and go to the virtual machine and click the .vmx file.  Then, I get this error:

  The server could not complete a request (HTTP 0 ).
  The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request. If this problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
  

  When I clicked OK, I find that the webservice of VMware seems to be declining.  I get no response from the port 8222 or 8333.  I'm not very familiar with command line tools, so the only way I know to get back on the administration interface is to restart VMware itself.

  I am running VMware Server 2.0.2 - 203138, x86_64 rely on an Intel Xeon chip with four cores.  The host operating system is Debian 5.0.3 ("Lenny"), amd64 build.

  In the subdirectory of/var/log/vmware, I find a lot of posts like the

• Cannot add VM vmdk

  We run ESX 4.0. VReplicator allows us to reproduce our VMS to a remote location. Recently, I noticed that among the 2nd disc of VMs was not recognized correctly at the remote location. I removed the drive and I'm trying to readd it, but when I search for the folder where the vmdk file, vCenter does not recognize that it is there. I used putty and WinSCP and you can see the file, but for some reason vCenter will not see it. Any ideas why this happens?

  Thank you

  Scott

  What are the files that you see?

  You should see two files per virtual disk, the YourDisk.vmdk and the YourDisk - flat hard.

• Cannot add again invited in Fusion 7 hard disk file existing (VMDK)

  Hi all

  Since the upgrade to Fusion 7 (and MAC OS 10.10) I can't select an existing VMDK file to add to a newly created virtual machine: all the VMDK files (any directory they are in) are dimmed in the dialog box.

  No idea what is causing this behavior?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Assuming the DescriptorFile hard disk exists s ("Virtual Disk.vmdk" vs binary scopes for example "Virtual Disk - s001.vmdk") with disc type twoGbMaxExtentSparse that only the hard disk DescriptorFile not will be not grayed out when you try to add an existing drive so that the only other thing that comes to mind is permissions.  Normal authorization on the hard files by default is 0600 or - rw - from a Terminal.  BTW, I have no problem adding an existing drive to a computer virtual with VMware Fusion 7.

• WNDAP360 / WMS5316 - cannot add AP since the firmware

  Hi we have just updated the firmware on our access points (WNDAP360) 2 and cannot add them in the WMS5316 (ProSafe 16ap)

  I tried to perform a reset, it locates the device, but the progress indicator just to 0% with the rotation of graphics. The Web page times out. Ive left it 40 minutes

  I also manually configured on the same subnet, unused IP and tried to add through discovery of intellectual property

  This seems to have happened since the updates of the firmware:

  WMS5316 is on 2.1.5

  WNDAP360 are on 3.0.4.0

  Beforehand, they were always capricious to add like its never been clear what password to use. For reference, Ive tried our internal password that the group is configured for blank password and password password for example.

  I tried adding with new IPs and also the IP existing / default

  Everything I try, I can't do these Aps to add to the group / management system. Here are the recent errors in the system log:

  Now solved

  Had to manually assign an IP address in the same subnet (which had already been done), and then restart the WMS service, then try and add it again. Connection is established and the progress indicator has increased. Several times he has failed when even at 40%-60% and said the authentication has failed. However he did at least change the IP address to the new so something was working.

  I have left alone and returned to him and he said connected. It seems that the synch plant just constantly but ends by develops. Then I changed the password / group, it says failed again and finally himself developed.

• vSphere 5 re-install-cannot add hosts

  Hi guys,.

  The short version:

  I installed 2 Physics Dell R710, with installed ESXi 5. Each has 4 Win2008R2 VM on them. Everything works fine. At the time I ran upward a VM specifically for vSphere vCentre server in order to manage these. I've added both ESXi hosts to a data center that I created in the vCenter. Because of the budgets he decided not to buy Essentials Plus a moment while the evaluation has expired I uninstalled the software.

  Fast forward to today and I bought Essentials. I have re-installed the software vCentre on this same machine virtual I've done before. I created a new data center. However, I can't add two existing ESXi hosts. I run the Wizard "Add host", put in the IP of the host, the same username and password I used on these hosts when connecting via customer vSphere th... and wait and wait the time out - not given error. I see in the event log of the host that the user @(l'ip dele de serveur vCenter) has in... but there is nothing after that... so he can see and hit the host OK... but then it expires and does not just add it.

  Has anyone else seen elsewhere or know a solution? Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated

  Hello

  When you have uninstalled vCenter right there you should remove the vCenter database, but you do not the same, because of which you there are old entries in the database and you cannot add an existing database to the host.

  If possible you uninstall the vCenter server and delete the database and redo the fresh install by creating the new vCenter database.

• Cannot add raw lun if the host is connected to vCenter

  I have MS cluster disks in HP EVA4400. They are presented to my guests. If I self host then I can add raw disks in VM but if I add host to vCenter then the lun of the bullies appear no more.

  Probably, if I anyone these LUNS and present with different lun ID then they would appear but can't bring those LUNS offline.

  Anyone have idea where I should start to investigate?

  I think that what you see is the expected behavior.

  In a cluster environment, you can add a unit logic as a ROW only one number. While adding, a mapping file raw device called (vmdk file) is created. On the other node MSCS, you must connect to this mapping file (via Add existing virtual disk) rather than create another ROW.

  Access to the RAW LUN through multiple files for mapping (if you manage to somehow create them) could cause problems with locking and possible data corruption.
