Cannot delete the linked clone pool

Hello

Please bear with me, as I'm still not a lot of experience with this product. I can't remove a linked clone automated pool manager. Virtual machines and records (including records perisitant) associated with this pool have all been previously removed (deleted from the drive) of vCenter. The pool remains Gray and in the State of "suppression", in the display manager.

around every 45 seconds, this event is logged in the display manager:

module = connection to the server. message = error commissioning took place the Pool win-xp-related-clones due to a configuration problem.

I don't know yet where to start troubleshooting. Pool seems to think again its status of "supply", meanwhile, the menu pool bed and the pool is actually disappeared for a long time that the "deletion" status.  It seems that my SQL db view can be somewhat altered and that maybe I need to delete some data manually.

What newspapers I consider to facilitate troubleshooting? I searched the journal of composer for the name of my pool (win-xp-related-clones), but there is no match.

I run see 4.5 and vCenter 4.1.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello

Take a look at this KB (1008658):

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?

language = en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1008658

The same thing happened to me once, and that KB has been very helpful.

  • VMware View Linked Clone pool - SID change of virtual machines

    Dear community

    This morning I had the good idea to use instead of quickprep sysprep to change the SID for all virtual machines in the linked clone pools. Why? Because the customer didn't only VMs and use KMS to activate Office and Windows, therefore at least 50 different sid. Well, I created a file of OS customization invited for Windows (OS is Windows 7) in vCenter (which is connected to view admin) and I did:

    Target Machine Virutal OS: Windows

    Use custom Sysprep answer file: No.

    Name: The name of the file

    Owners name: xy

    Owner organization: xy

    Diabate

    VM name: Use the virtual computer name

    ProductKey: Leave blank

    Admin password: play twice

    ZimeZone: GMT + 1

    Run once: no

    Network: Typical with DHCP

    Domain: Credentials client area incl.

    Operating system options: create new SID

    Finishing, went to view Admin has created a new and Cust comments. to Syprep (Filename). Blended at the pool and it worked very well until the generalization starts... it stucks at regional settings, when I restart the same. When I klick net he asks me for a computer name and a password.

    Well:

    (1) why is this block here? Yes there are still stuck because I was not able to specify a locale, or if it is not needed? Why he can pop up?

    (2) why he asks me for a computername? I told her to use an existing one.

    (3) why he asks me a password? I told her what to use.

    Well I toigh ok Let's use an answwer sysprep file that I've included a second cost of comments. file (withi the guest also reset SID). Well it works greate except the designation: I said in the answer file to use the variable % computername %, which is certainly the name of the master, so VDI does not change this name...

    (1) the sysprep answer file the rightway anyway?

    (2) how do I get the new name out of sight for the VM for example VM001 instead of Master001

    If I check the comments cust. file without sysprep answer file I see there function which can crreate names for VMS as vim.virtualmachinenamegenerator (or something like that) is it possible to use sysprep as well? Well at the end, I just want to change the SID of the virtual machines each time they recompose is to have enough unique SID in the network! How do I need to do?

    Best regards

    Duke is your main reason for the use of sysprep to work around the problem of SIDS?

    We only use VDI on site for 700 + users and clients windows 7 and Office 2010 is activated through KMS.and we use quickprep because his headache free and easy.

    I use the following to help with the problem of SIDS:

    Manually to increase the number of KMS. Think Digital the application is clean.

    Its very well explained in the link above.

  • SYSPREP for windows 7 64 bit linked clone pool

    Hello

    I'm trying to set up a cloning pool of VMWare View related with desktop windows 7 64 bit, but I'm having a problem with the sysprep command.

    Maybe I did something wrong in the process.

    Here's what I did:

    * installed Captain VM

    -> install a new windows 7 VM 64 bit VM (Ultimate Edition)

    -> tools VM installed in the virtual machine

    -> installed the agent of the view in the virtual machine

    -> the master VM has added to the domain active directory

    -> power off of the master computer virtual

    -> taken a snapshot of the master computer virtual

    * Make the necessary prepearations ActiveDirectory

    (creation of the organizational unit, etc.).

    * enabled View Composer in view administrator

    * created the linked clone pool:

    --> in vCenter settings, I chose the parent VM

    + its snapshot

    -> I also published the snapshot to the forwarding server

    -> in comments customization settings.

    I chose the sysprep method

    -> 2 windows 7 syspreps were awailable to choice:

    'WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '.

    -> I tried the procedure at a time

    Added some rights for some users to

    the linked clone pool

    All the steps of the pool of linked clone in view administrator configuration worked without errors, the linked clone pool has been created successfully.

    THE PROBLEM:

    When I try to connect to the clone related with the Client view, pool

    It gives me the following error:

    "This Office has currently no sources of funds available, please try to connect to this desktop computer later or contact your system administrator."

    When I watch the console of all (10) desktop virtual machines in the vCenter.

    I see the following error message as a popup on each of them:

    "Windows could not parse or process the answer without assistance for pass file [specialize]."

    "The settings specified in the answer file not applicable."

    "The error was found during the processing of the component parameters [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]"

    No idea what I'm doing wrong here?

    The 2 syspreps that I could choose when creating pool related, "WIN7SP01" and "WIN7SP1."

    were there to choose just like that, I've never done anything to create, is this normal?

    If Yes, what is the difference between WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '?

    any ideas?

    "I've seen this before and I will say it was because of some kind of defective license referred to in the specifications of customization, which in your case would be WIN7SP01 ' and 'WIN7SP1.   These are not created by the sight and were probably created by the person who manages the vCenter instance because that is where they are stored.   I would check that the license specified with these customizations key are the correct keys to use with WIndows 7 X 64 machines.

  • Cannot start the master VM once linked clone pool is created

    With the help of ESXi 5.1, I created 3 floating linked clone distinct categories of 10 clones each. Everything works fine until I try to turn on the master after the linked clones are available. I get an error:

    Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/volume/vm/vm-000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    He made this 100% of the time. No exception. I manually loaded a basic system of Windows 7 x 64 flat and converted a x 64 and x 32 using the P to the converter V. All systems do exactly the same thing. All files are where they say the man should be.

    I can attach some files are required. Just need help. Destroy my master and create whenever I dial the linked just clone pool seems exaggerated.

    It is not the virtual disk controller that is causing the problem (I just mentioned in order to make you aware of it). What is most likely the origin of the problem is the format of virtual drive not supported (twoGbMaxExtentSparse) which is used for the virtual disk. I suggest that you follow http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2036572 to convert the virtual disk shaped ESXi supported, which should solve the problem. Please keep in mind that this will require free space on the data store (the size of the configured virtual disk size - ~ 233GB).

  • I can locate all the linked Clones Parents

    Hello!  I am an instructor and have tons of old VMS using all my disk space.  I want to do a cleanup, but I don't want to accidentally delete a parent of a linked clone until I have a chance to remove anything important with the linked clone.  Is it possible to determine if a virtual machine is used as the parent of a linked clone?

    Thank you!

    Post edited by: alwweb - I forgot a Word.

    If you look at the Snapshot Manager for the parent of the linked clone VM, you will find that a snapshot is created automatically when you bind the clone. The snapshot icon has a "lock". Please see my attachment 'linkclonesnapshot.png '.

  • Is it possible deploy Windows 7 floating - Linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and licensing through KMS?

    Hi all

    I would like to build a floating - linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and lincense them using KMS.

    I read that the KMS solution is valid when you deploy more than 25 VDIs but if my VDIs are rebuild a few times during the day, why KMS does not work for me?

    I have an installed KMS and I think the job properly, but when I build my Windws 7 pool for each computer I always get this message:

    "Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license (waited 1275 seconds).

    If anyone can tell me what I should do to fix.

    Thank you

    What I do for this is to simply begin your pool with 26 machines and all have power upward.  Then just make sure all active and then reduce it down to the size you want.  Your environment might suffer a little performance while you do this, but it does the job for you.  A tip - don't forget to make offices and BONES.

  • View office patches and linked Clone pool

    I'm mobile torwards a deployment of Thin Clients using the Wyse P20 and View 4 and I was wondering if anyone has had experience using the linked clone and Altiris Agent Office pool?  If this is not the case, what practices of patching are used?

    What practices of patching are used?

    If you use linked clone you way the main image, not the desktop images.

    Power on the mask, path, clipping, create a new snapshot.

    Then (with View Manager Administration) redial your pool with the new snapshot.

  • Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

    I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

    Found a solution to this problem.

    Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
    1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
    2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
    3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
    4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
    5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
    6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

    Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.
