• Error adding the USB controller to the virtual computer

  Recently, I tried to add a USB controller to a virtual computer and received the following error:

  "There are not enough licenses to complete this operation. "Feature hotplug not approved, requires the need have have.

  Not very good grammar, but I guess I need to buy a license of some sort.  Does anyone know what license it takes and/or about how much it costs?  Otherwise, anyone know who I should ask?

  -Thank you,

  You use the free license - it allows not hot add hardware to a virtual computer, so you must re-enable it off before adding hardware to it.

  Also, you can not attach a USB device to a virtual machine somehow. Check this: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015

• Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

  I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  Thank you

  -MattG

  Hello, MattG-

  I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

  To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

  Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
  

  Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

  Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

  Anyway, how does do for you?

• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

• error message: "Windows cannot add a printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spoiler or reboot the machine.

  Hello
  After upgrading to windows 7 Home premium 64 bit vista family premium 64-bit, I expected to be able to connect my EPSON Stylus D68 printer on my laptop and leave immediately.

• Through host SCSI tape drive to the virtual computer with the backup software installed in the comments

  Can I attach an external SCSI tape drive to one of my hosts, and then add it as a device in a virtual machine.

  I want to use backup exec on a virtual machine, rather than having to have a separate physical server to attach the tape drive. I realize that I wouln't be able to vmotion the guest but as its only going to be a backup machine I am happy with that.

  Thanks in advance,

  Yes is possible.

  I have a Dell TL2000 with a dedicated SAS card and it works (not faster than in a real environment, but works).

  You add the SCSI ID of the tape (and the library, if any) to the virtual machine.

  Or, if your hardware can he take charge, using VMDirectPath and give the card on the virtual computer.

• Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

  Hi all

  For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

  1. reboot the virtual computer

  2. restart VMware Workstation

  3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

  The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

  Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance.

  Try installing a newer driver.  According to the site, you should be able to find a driver dated 2008 or 2007 (depending on which exact model of NetLink card you have):

  Sometimes out of some firewall programs is not enough (they keep still themselves installed in the network of the host stack, even if they are 'closed').  You may need to uninstall to make sure that it is not interfere.  (Search the forums for support for your firewall software see if anyone else is having problems with vmware and 360 safe guard).

  Drag and drop your audio clips on the main screen...

  Select "while"WMA"/ OK...

  That should do it...

  Good luck.

• 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

  }
