Cannot migrate VM between 5.5 ESXi versions: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several CPU features
We receive an error message that I am trying to make sense. I understand very well the notion of compatibility, CPU, CPUID, masking and so on, after working on a competitor hypervisor. However, this error seems wrong (or needs better wording) based on my understanding:
Here is the message:
----
A general error occurred: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several features of the CPU currently use by the virtual machine.
Characteristics of CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register are indicated with a '1' bit: x00x:xxx0:xx0x:x 000: x 0 11xx:00: 00xx:11xx
----
This happened during the migration between two hosts ESXi with the same physical processors - in this case, a Westmere X 5650.
The source host is on ESXi build 2068190 (5.5). The destination host is on ESXi build 1474528.
The bits it seems to complain are:
DTES64
Monitor/MWait
Cx16
PDCM
The punch line seems to be: "the product version of the destination host. However, I have trouble believing that support for these features have been added to ESXi between the two versions. If it were, VMware has been certainly silent about.
For what it's worth, explicitly set us the CPUID masks in our virtual machines (no, CVS is not an option for us at this time.) This is the mask:
CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000100000011001010001".
CPUID.1.ECX = "00000010100110001110001000111111".
CPUID.1.EDX = "10001111111010111111101111111111".
CPUID.80000001.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000001.
CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00101000000100000000100000000000".
cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".
cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".
cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".
Note that the bits of the message complains (2, 3, 14, 15) * are * in fact forced to '1' in our mask of cpuid.1.ecx. That means (if I understand correctly), ESXi does not have the virtual machine unless the host processor supports the feature. And in our case, the virtual machine will start with happiness on nodes, with both versions. It will be not simply migrate between them.
So, long story short, is this a bug of ESXi? The error message is misleading? I understand something?
Thank you
Matt
To use the masks feature VM in this way, you must replace all the 1 to your masks with-'s:
CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000-000000 - 00-0 - 000-
CPUID.1.ECX = "000000-0-00--000---000-000---".
CPUID.1.EDX = '-000 - 0-0 - 0-
CPUID.80000001.ECX = "0000000000000000000000000000000 -"
CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00-0-000000-00000000-00000000000.
cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".
cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".
cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".
Zeros erases the features that are not available on your hosts Westmere, and dashes will leave the other one features. The problem with those masks was forced to you certain features on who would have normally been off.

ESXi 4.1 - Dell Poweredge 2850 - tape backup - host does not support configuring passthrough
I'm trying to get a tape backup to work on my ESXi host, so I can save my win2003 VM. I get this error under VMDirectPath, 'host does not support configuring passthrough ". Under Configuration > storage adapters > I don't see my tape drive listed. Also, I noticed that my SCSI controller card is NOT on the HCL (Adaptec 39160). See. This is probably why passthrough doesn't work.
So, I was thinking of buying this one (Adaptec 39320) because he seems to be on the list. This will solve my problem or is this server too old for passthrough to work?
To use VMDirectpath on an Intel Server chipset used must support Intel VT - d (Directed i/o). I don't think that's the case with the models of 2850, but if it was you would see an option in the BIOS to enable this. It is a separate option of VT - x, which allows the host run the 64-bit clients.

vMotion fails at 9% - Source host cannot connect to the destination host
Hello
I wonder if someone could shine any light on why vmotion fails to occur between an ESXi host who has just been restarted, in order to test HA. I have the following configuration:
3 x ESXi5 DL360 G7s with two 4-way NIC
VSphere Vcenter 5
1 x cluster configured for DRS HA
2 x Procurve 2910 - 24G
The switches are not connected to each other.
Both switches are configured as such:
All ports are not marked. NO PLEASE, no routing
Each host vMotion vSwitch is connected to two switches by 1 x 1 GB nic
I configured a vswitch on each host of vMotion. There are two ports vmkernel with two IPS on the same subnet. There are two vmnic attached to the vSwitch. On each port, a Vmic is configured to be active while the other is unused. I enabled frames on the vSwitch and 2910 switches. A VLAN has been configured on the two predisposees 2910 for vmotion with frames and defined traffic on "no label". I can successfully vmkping all the ip s vmotion on all ESXi hosts. However, when I test HA by stopping an ESXi host, when I restart the ESXi host I am unable to vmotion in that ESXi host. When I test vmkping I find that the host rebooted can only vmkping itself and no other host can vmkping it. Vmotion attempt fails on 9% and errors with the source host cannot connect to the destination host. If I restart the two switches of 2910 I can then perform a vMotion and the vmkping is a success.
Help, please?
Thank you

I have since read up on the various load balancing options and find that your method is preferable during the method of "ip hash.
I'll make the change to "port based" and link the two switches
Hello Simon, I think it's a good option to do, since the hash IP load balancing is a bit special and really requires both interfaces to connect to the same physical switch, which must also have a specific configuration. If you like the results after the new changes.

You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.
Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.
Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
Step 1
VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.
Step 2
When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ go to the folder...
from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.
There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.
Step 3
In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:
com Apple.something.plist
When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.
Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:
com Apple.builins.plist
com Apple.cereng.plist
com Apple.nysgar.plist
There may be one or more items with a name of the form:
com.something.plist
Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.
These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:
com.semifasciaUpd.plist
com.ubuiling.plist
Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:
com.something .net - preferences.plist
This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:
com.jangly .net - preferences.plist
Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.
Restart the computer and empty the trash.
Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:
com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist
com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist
com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist
com Apple.aelwriter.plist
com Apple.SERVERD.plist
com Tether.plist
The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.
Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.
If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.
If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.
Step 4
Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select
▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General
and click on
Set on the current Page
If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.
Step 5
The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.
Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.
Step 6
This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

- now that the full version of k'lite seems to stop what is happening why hasent windows incorporated something similar in the windows media player 11, or they have another type of codec full, we can use to make this.only so many people have the same problem .please can help you.
Hi bbdunford,
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.
You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:
(a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.
(b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.
Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.
Method 1
Check if the video file format is supported by Windows media player using the link below.
Information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992
If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.
Method 2
See the link below for more information on the codec.

I recently started getting this strange message, usually when a Pages document is closed:
«The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.» You can access older versions of this document once you close. »
All my research (apple.com and on the internet) have not enabled all the information on this message.
Hi Larry,
The 'volume' is a hard disk, a partition on a hard drive or a storage as a USB device.
OS X automatically saves your document frequent while you work on it. If the volume of the device / it records on a summer formatted to allow 'versioning', you will be able to use Time Machine to open previous versions of your document. If it has not been formatted like that, you get the message see you, and only the current version of the document will be saved.
Kind regards

Save for precedent: the "Attachment" object does not exist in the previous version
I'm trying to save a very simple VI from LabVIEW 2013 SP1 to LabVIEW 2009 but I get this strange error. The VI contains only basic ex that are available in all versions of LabVIEW (shift logical AND Select,<=, u8). ="" when="" i="" try="" to="" save="" it="" for="" labview="" 2009,="" it="" gives="" me="" the="" following="">=,>
Missing object. The "Attachment" object does not exist in the previous version.
I thought first of all it had to do with being possessed by a lvclass, but even after that I removed the class (and unplugged from the lvclass) it always gives me this warning.
When I try to open it with 2009, it will fail to load the schema-block (error 6).
The next thing I tried was to copy the block diagram for a new VI and re - create the connector pane, but that doesn't change anything.
Any ideas?
Maybe "attachment" made reference to an attached comment (the arrow of a free label for an object on the diagram). I don't expect the presence of attached comments to cause a SFPed VI to not open, but it's the only thing I can think of. Try to remove any comment attached to your diagram and SFPing and see if that solved the problem.

Hello danielbrauer,
The magnetic site says the requirements are for Windows XP or higher. However, it is not on the Windows Vista or the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
You can try the following to see if it will help with compatibility. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-WindowsIf this does not help, you can contact the magnet to see if they have an updated version.
