• Cannot create a virtual machine with more than 256 GB

  I thought that the max capacity 2 TB vm. but I can't create a virtual machine more than 256 GB. what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  You probably use a block size of 1 MB, which limits a single HDD 256 GB.  You will need a larger block size

  1 MB = 256 GB

  2 512 GB

  4 MB = 1024 GB

  8 MB = 2048 GB

• Cannot create a virtual machine with a vmdk file copied from another location, please find the attached error

  Hi all

  I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below

  Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.

  Time: 31/03/2015-14:40:05

  Target: DBServer

  vCenter Server: vcsa

  Error stack

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on DBServer VM.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/543d140b-feb33d52-7640-90b11c9796c3/vmdk/kapuatdb.vmdk'

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

• Script to create multiple virtual machines model works is not for the network adapter variable

  We are working on a script to create multiple virtual machines from a template. The script works fine, but when we try to include commands to set the NIC to a group of specific ports on a dvswitch script errors on. Here's what we have so far. This script (less network variables) works, but we would like to include the network configs in the script as well.

  -------------------

  This is the part of the script that configures the network/dvswitch adapter... but does not work properly.

  $myResourcePool = get-ResourcePool-name DQOL

  $dsName = get-Datastore-name "DQOL-DS01.

  $myTemplate = get-Template-name "DQVTemplate".

  $distributedSwitchPortGroup = get-VirtualSwitch-distributed - name "CVE-dvS04-Nexus - k 5 | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name '979-DQ-SHARED '.

  New-VM-name MyVM1-model $myTemplate - Networkname ResourcePool - $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification $distributedSwitchPortGroup - Datastore

  (Get-$dsName data store)

  New-VM-name MyVM2-model $myTemplate - ResourcePool $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  _____________________

  !!!!!!!  This part works, but without specifying a network/dvswitch... card!

  $myResourcePool = get-ResourcePool-name DQOL

  $dsName = get-Datastore-name "CVE-SAN-ISG-DS02-02ef.

  $myTemplate = get-Template-name "DQVTemplate".

  New-VM-name MyVM3-model $myTemplate - ResourcePool $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  New-VM-name MyVM4-model $myTemplate - ResourcePool $myResourcePool - OSCustomizationSpec $mySpecification - Datastore (Get-$dsName data store)

  Here is the error we get:

  New-VM: all parameters can be resolved by using the specified named parameters.

  You cannot use the - model and Networkname - parameters of the cmdlet New - VM in a single order, because both are in different parameter sets. You must first create the virtual machine and then use the cmdlet Set-NetworkAdapter to change the portgroup of the virtual machine. As in example 4, assistance from cmdlet Set-NIC:

  --------------  Example 4 --------------

  C:\PS>$myNetworkAdapters = Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter-name "NIC 1.
  $myVDPortGroup = get-VDPortgroup-name MyVDPortGroup
  Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkAdapter - $myNetworkAdapters - $myVDPortGroup Portgroup

  Retrieves all network named "NIC 1" cards of all virtual machines and connects to the specified distributed port group.

  Hello

  This message appears usually when the JVM cannot allocate sufficient memory. It may be the consequence of the stage Builder set - Xmx1024m command line: this is currently followed by default TLD-4515 and will be fixed in the next few weeks.
  For the time being you can give a try on a system with more memory. Moreover, what is your current hardware configuration?

  I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6.  Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key.  Any ideas would be appreciated

  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• Virtual PC - create new virtual machine snap into button appears not

  I installed virtual PC and having the image in XP mode works on Win 7 64 bit on a Dell Optiplex 990 i5 processor.  However when I choose the Manager of Windows Virtual PC and the Windows Explorer window opens, I see not the option create a virtual machine, just 'burn' where it should be.

  I tried to activate windows 7 aero UI think the classic look of windows blocked somehow but that has no effect.

  I tried to reinstall the configuration of virtual machine directly on the site but it gives me the message that there is not suitable for use.  I tried uninstalled and re - install, but get the same when the Explorer window is missing the snap.

  How can I get the snap in option seem to create a virtual drive?  The window appears with the title of Virtual Machines.

  Once again, the image in XP mode work properly and starts and stops without any problem.

• create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

  I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

  I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

  is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

  I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

• Create a virtual machine with Maximum carrots ESXi has?

  I someone told me that VMware does not support to create a virtual machine with more than 50% of the available cores has your host. For example, I have an ESXi host with 2 CPU each with 8 cores. I have therefore 16 cores on my host. I wouldn't be able to create a virtual machine with 8 cores to be supported. Even if I am able to create a virtual machine with 16 cores? Is this person crazy me

  This is completely untrue, there is no such limitation. If your license allows, you can use vCPUs as much as your physical host has available threads and as the VM virtual hardware version allows.

• API to create a Virtual Machine without using a model

  I see the GUI documentation how to create a virtual machine without a model, but I can't find the actions of the API how to build the virtual machine based on custom settings (CPU, memory, OS, etc.), there are a only of the shares how instantiate OVF or vAppTemplate. Could you please tell is possible to generate/create the VM without model or OVF by API?

  I see. Thanks for the background.

  Based on my notes there is no such API. Other applications were similar to this one and the solution suggested in this case is to programmatically create an OVF (describing the configuration of the VM to instantiate) and import it into the vDC. The end result is the same (i.e. an empty VM configured by entries) the difference is how it gets instantiate (created from zero Vs described in the OVF and imported).

• 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

• Create the virtual machine with the ISO mounted CDROM

  Community of hell!

  Working on the vmcreate.pl script to add the creation of CD-ROM with iso data store, I got stuck on the error

  ' Invalid device configuration: ' VirtualSCSIControllerOption.numSCSICdroms '.

  I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, or this option but may not understand how to deliver this.

  deviceName = > ' '.

  exclusive = > 0,

  );

  my $description = description->new(label = > 'CDROM', summary = > 'cdddrom');
