• Is it possible to power - off a virtual machine?

  Hello, I wonder if it is possible to power - off (no downtime) is a Virtual Machine with PowerCLI. I know cmdlet Shutdown-VMGuest but not a similar "Poweroff-VMGuest '...

  During the weekly virtual computer restarts, we see some test virtual machines by hanging the mode on the left (some Windows VM with gray screen without the mouse, etc...). Then I need strength and power - on those virtual machines because the case comments is not operational. Is it possible to make these Power-off with PowerCLtI?

  
  

  Thank you in advance.

  Best regards.

  You can use the Stop-VM cmdlet to turn off a virtual computer. If necessary you can even add the - Kill parameter to stop the virtual machines specified by ending their processes running on the ESX.

• HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi

  I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?

  I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

  If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

• Cannot convert a virtual machine while it is powere on or suspended. Shut down and power off the virtual machine before the conversion.

  Hi all

  I am currently using preinstalled VMware 7.1 and I try to import a virtual machine, I used to work on my windows XP. Recently, I am using windows VISTA and I am trying to import my VM (.vmx) and I get this error "cannot convert a virtual machine, although it is powere on or suspended. "Shut down and power off the virtual machine before the conversion.

  This virtual machine worked very well under windows XP and VMware 6.5, but now I am not able to import it. Please suggest how I can make this virtual machine running in my VISTA and vmware 7.1.

  I am also attaching the converter file logs and .vmx vmware.

  Thank you...

• 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.

  1. status of /etc/init.d/VMware

  Networking networking on/dev/vmnet0 is running

  Invited only on/dev/vmnet1 network is running

  Network invited only on/dev/vmnet8 is running

  NAT networking on/dev/vmnet8 is running

  Responsible vmmon module

  Loaded module Vmnet

  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:

  vmxvmdb: name of the Index generated by the configuration file

  POST (no connection): Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 138.0, obtained 168.0.

  You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

  Try reinstalling VMware Server.

  POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.

  Failed to initialize the virtual machine.

  End of the error message.

  I found several posts other people have this problem but

  they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem.  I found appeared

  to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for

  2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead.  Here is the link to the discussion

  http://Fedoraforum.org/Forum/showthread.php?t=199026&page=2

  Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.

  Note: It's like pulling the plug of the wall on a physical computer. Whatever this is not saved will be lost and there is always the possibility of corrupting the file system where preforming a hard stop! (Even if you have no choice but to do.)

  VMware Fusion menu bar > VM > press the option key and select Power Off

  By pressing the keys alt/option "Shutdown called" changes to "Power Off".

  Note: It also changes orders of "Suspend comments" and "Restart Guest' too.

  Or if this does not work then...

  On the library Virtual Machine ctrl - click on the target of the Virtual Machine and select Show in Finder and delete the .vmss file, the ctrl + click the target package of Virtual Machine, and then after the merger closed. Note: All that was not justified for the suspended state will be lost by deleting the .vmss file. Note: However: you have no other choice if the Virtual Machine does not suspend/resume/stop/start correctly.

• Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

  2014-02-28 14:20:57 avvcbimage < 14681 > Info: change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

  We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

  Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

  ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

  After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

• VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

  My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.
  
  Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.
  
  I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:
  
  VMware ESX 4-2 GB
  Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

  Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB
  
  However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

  Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

  To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

  If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

  Can you get it someone please let me know where are the rest of the memory is busy? Size of total memory of 3 virtual machines are only 4 GB and I have to be able to run all the VMs set 3, but in this case I can't even run two virtual machines simultaneously.

  Please help what should I do?

  With 8 GB of RAM on the host allowing why only 1 GB to be reserved for all you run virtual machines?

• You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

  Hello

  Only, I converted a physical blade to a virtual machine running on ESX4 using VMware converter 4. The converted virtual computer is running VMware server 1.0.5 and machines virtual option 2. After the P2V process, I am unable to power on virtual machines in VMware server. I get the following message:

  You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

  I see there are some entries that I can put in the vmx file

  monitor_control.vt32 = 'TRUE '.

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'TRUE '.

  However, this does not solve my problem. Is it possible to edit a VMX VMware Server so the virtual prompt runs in a virtual machine of ESX4

  Thanks in advance

  VMware Server 1.x does not support nested virtual machines.  Workstation 7 is the first product with the official support of virtualization nested, although other recent VMware products should work, with some constraints.  See nested running VMs.

• How to keep or ignore the UUID when you power on a virtual machine

  We have a scenario where we are mirror of VMs from one site to another site for BCP which has a separate instance of the VC.

  We pre-record the virtual computers hosted NFS in virtual center.

  When we need to recover break us the mirror and power on the machine.

  VC then promp with the question, you want to keep or throw the UUID.

  How can be script as its easy to answer a few virtual machines but a pain for possibly up to a hundred?

  There are a few things to keep in mind when you want to start the guests and answer the question in this way.

  (1) the Start-VM cmdlet will wait for the prompt to start, but there is a question waiting it will never happen.

  ==> the solution is to use the Start-VM cmdlet with the parameter -RunAsync , this way the cmdlet will not wait.

  (2) when a client starts, it will take some time before the issue appears.

  ==> the solution is to wait until the question is displayed with a loop

  (3) to get the current status of the prompt, the script needs to get the VirtualMachine object with each pass through the loop.

  The properties of the $vm variable are not automatically updated unless the script retrieves the object with the cmdlet Get-View.

  (4) the purpose of the Question is present when the question is displayed. Prior to this point, this object is $null.

  ==> to avoid execution of the StartsWith method on a $null object if statement first checks to see if the object in Question is present.

  The script relies on the fact that the two conditions that are combined with - and the operator are executed from left to right.

  This is probably not a good programming practice and should be solved by using two nested If statements.

  The following script implements all the points made above.

  Note that it can only be used for the issue of msg.uuid.moved.

  The script responses with choice 2 which is the choice of 'keep '.

  $qMsgUuidMoved = "msg.uuid.moved:"
  $choiceKeep = 2
  
  $vmImpl = Get-VM "TestPC"
  $vmImpl | Start-VM -RunAsync
  
  do{
    $vm = $vmImpl | Get-View
    if($vm.Runtime.Question -ne $null -and $vm.Runtime.Question.Text.StartsWith($qMsgUuidMoved)){
      $vm.AnswerVM($vm.Runtime.Question.Id, $choiceKeep)
    }
  } until ($vm.Runtime.PowerState -ne "poweredoff")
  
  Write-Host $vm.Name "started"
