Cannot change the settings after the take snapshot in VM

Hello forum, I need to increase a disc size and the number of virtual processors on couple of virtual machines, the last week I have instant tool of these virtual machines. Today, when I try to change the settings, I see that the options are grayed out. Why is it so? This is a limitation of vmware. Do I have to delete the snapshots before making changes? Which will remove the ability to roll back changes if necessary. I'm under Windows 2008 R2 virtual machines.

Virtual disks can only increase if they have no active snapshots. The snapshot files contains modified data blocks that correspond to their parent records, and this mapping I lost if you have increased a virtual disk with snapshots.

  • Microsoft Movie Maker - cannot change the length of each clip.

    Cannot change the length of each clip on Microsoft Movie Maker.

    I clicked on 'tools', then 'options' in Microsoft Movie Maker after importing my media and organize my clips as the way I would like it. When I then click on the "Advanced" tab, image duration shows only 5 seconds with the transition period only 1.25 seconds, which is the default setting and that is also what I want. However, when I play my project in Movie Maker, it accelerates through each clip. I also noticed that when I press the title of 'Clip' in my headings at the top left and then click on 'Properties', the duration of each clip shows that only 00:02 seconds. Which is why my speed clips too quickly.

    I would have thought that setting my time of duration in the Tools section would then set in the Clips section, but this is obniously does not. I don't understand why everyone would show differently and wonder if you can help me to slow down the speed that my movie is playing.

    ================================
    The change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    If you switch to view "Storyboard" and select
    all of the clips as a batch (select one and the type...
    CTRL + A)... you can add the 'Speed Up, Double.
    or "Slow down, half" effect of changing the
    duration. Simply select all clips / right click
    the effect on the menu... Choose...
    Add to storyboard table.

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    If you need finer adjustment...
    the info may be useful:

    You can change the duration for each clip
    manually. Move your pointer autour the
    edge of an element until you see a double red
    arrow. Now, drag the double red arrow...
    you will see if show a ToolTip displays the duration
    train to change.

    Or... just to redo the project after changing
    the long-term: Tools / Options / Advanced

    Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.

    I don't think that the problem is related to a beginner linux user, it's a problem triggered by a specific hardware configuration.

    If you look at your log file again, there is an error just before the vmware process attempts to core dump. The dump is a reaction to the problem.

    vmx| E105: PANIC: VERIFY bora/vmcore/vmx/main/timeTracker_user.c:238 bugNr=148722
    

    If you then put the bug number into google, you get:

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1227

    Which indicates in return you can set a configuration file to specify the actual frequency of your processor.

    Your processor is an Intel (r) Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40 GHz

    The linux variant of the config.ini file they speak on windows hosts is/etc/vmware/config

  • Moved from VM with Snap Shots, doesn't start: cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

    I received the following message...

    "Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error.

    It seems you are using a version of vSphere Client 5.5 pro update 2. Download the latest vSphere Client 5.5 VMware KB: download for VMware vSphere Client URL. It will always display a caveat about HW Version the virtual machine, but will allow you to modify most of the settings of virtual machines.

    Note: update the vSphere Client may raise an error, so please uninstall the current vSphere Client 5.5 and then install a new one.

  • Cannot change the power state of VM: cannot...   (VMWare Workstation 7 on Debian Lenny)

    Hi all, I am new to this community. I recently installed VMWare Workstation 7 on a Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.26.2 - amd64). I had no problem with it, but when I tried to start a Virtual Machine Windows Vista, which I created it, does not start. Error says windows "cannot change the power state of VM: could not find a peer valid to connect to". "" Any idea, please?

    Josber.

    It seems that the virtual machine has been suspended when your host is using a different screen resolution

    either change back to the resolution that you used when you suspenmded the machine virtual or delete the VMS.

    This will force the VM to do a cold boot

  • The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

    OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

    I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

    After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

    Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

    Nothing else was changed.

    I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

    Error again.

    I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

    Error again.

    Responsible vmmon module

    FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

    What now?

    I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

    I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

    Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

  • Cannot change the password using the question of security in l/min.

    We have an identity server. We have a lost password management application. There is a webpass and a webgate configured for the application of the LPM. The mode of communication is simple. The forgotten password feature does not work for the application of the LPM.

    Steps to re-create the issue
    --------------------------------------
    -In the form of connection, the user clicks on "I forgot my password"link
    -User enter 'User ID' and then click on submit
    -It redirects the user to a page of challenge question, the answer to the question the user and click on submit
    -The next page confirms the user had correctly answered the secret question. And invite the user to enter the new password, retype the password, and then click Save
    -When, click Save shows "cannot change the password. The screen is refreshed. The new password is not saved.

    Identity & Webpass - 10.1.4.2 BP08 Server version

    Thank you.

    Hello

    For the LPM error "cannot change the password" check if you set a "minimum age" in the definition of the strategy of password.
