• 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 start the virtual machine guest after receiving "License expired message" host ESXi 5.5

  I can't start computer virtual invited after receiving "License expired message" 5.5 ESXi host. I am able to copy the vm folder prompted with all its files using WinSCP I had already installed on a desktop computer in the network.

  However, it takes an extremely long time to download the VM [2.5 mb/s], which is of course a different question.

  It seems that I was still on the trial with my vsphere client license, until it expired. I am able to view the virtual machine within the workstation 10, but I can't turn it on. It says "Please install a license to power on this computer" there is no way to install a license anywhere.

  My question is... .will I be able to access this virtual machine if I download on an external hard drive, then add it to 10 VMWorkstation that I possess a current valid license?

  Even if the evaluation license has expired, you should be able to connect to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client and follow the steps mentioned in the article that I posted before you enter the free license key.

• Cannot move the virtual machine to another host

  Here's the situation... I am running 3 ESX 4.0 host in a cluster and I upgrade the memory on these hosts.  I put one day and now I want to use vmotion to move a virtual machine to host more memory, so I can then turn off host 2 to add more memory.

  When I try to migrate the computer to another virtual host he said "the virtual machine must be powered down for that purpose."

  I did it before with success when I first created this group with the HA and DRS settings are enabled.

  Now, I can't do this and I don't know what setting or what changed to cause it to not allow me to manually migrate a virtual computer on one host to another.

  If I wanted to put an ESX host in "Maintenance Mode" thinking that it will automatically move all VM for 2 other hosts in the cluster is not it either... I get a message saying that ' a host into maintenance mode does not any virtual machine functions... blah... blah... and continues to complete the entry into maintenance mode, all virtual machines must be closed or moved to another host. "  Manual intervention may be required.

  Again, I think that if a host is down these VMs would be move... that of the whole point of a cluster but doesn't seem to put in maintenance mode to allow them to go unless I turn off the virtual machine

  Any ideas?

  Go is one of the requirements of vMotion. The message after you had corrected the condition, I'm sure would be erased after awhile.

• Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

  I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

  Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

  Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

• Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

  When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

  After searching a bit I found this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

  The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

  vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
  Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

  So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

  BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

• IP address of the virtual machine by host

  Hi team,

  I use VMware-player - 3.1.1 - 282343 on my host machine - Microsoft windows XP.

  My guest OS is FreeBSD 7.1 that iam works with VMware Player.

  I know my IP address of the virtual machine by typing ifconfig in terminal virtual machine.

  Is there a way I can get this IP of my host computer? or in another way, may I know the IP address of my virtual machine since my windows OS (host)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Sandeep,

  You can take a look to the following file:

  -%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\vmnetdhcp.leases

  It will be useful.

• Cannot start the virtual machine in a HA cluster

  I installed a HA cluster with 2 hosts configured in it.

  I disabled the admission on the cluster control.

  Each host is a Dell Dimension 9150 with 2.8 GHz CPU and 2 GB of memory.

  I created a virtual machine on a host with 1 vCPU and 512 MB memory.

  However when I try to start the virtual machine, I see the task of 'Power on a virtual machine' fail with the status "the host has sufficient memory resources to satisfy the reserve."

  Why this is happening and how do after that?

  You have the minimum RAM required by ESX ESX 4.0.

  Add more RAM to play also some virtual machines.

• See Virtual Machine role cannot accommodate the virtual machine is on. Help please.

  Hi all. I'm trying a re-branded minimum permissions to a group for some virtual machines. The role of Virtal Machine user seems to be a perfect fit. The only problem I have is that the user can't see what host the virtual computer is on. If they are in the VMware Infrastructure Client and click on the Summary tab, it is empty. The reason why I want to see them is if they need to use a CD-ROM to install an application in that they need to know what a host to the CD. Can someone tell me which box to check if I go and change the role? Is there a better way to do it?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Welcome to the Forums!

  If they have access to the virtual Center and the access flag to the virtual machine itself, why not just mount the .iso/CD on the computer virtual in question then disconnect when you are finished.  Having to put a CD in an ESX host, every time something must be installed not the ideal way

• Cannot ping a virtual machine, except on the host computer.

  I have a host of SuSE, built on a chassis of IBM. It has a link for the failover interface. It has an IP of 10.10.138.196. SM 255.255.255.128. DG 10.10.138.129. I can ping this machine without problem. On that note, I have a virtual machine of SuSE. It has the same mask and gateway with an IP address of 10.10.138.197. It can ping the host (196) and the host can it ping. However, he cannot ping to the gateway by defaut.129. He receives a message Impossible to its own virtual interface. I have installation bridged networking early with no luck.

  I tried to change the DG on the guest a.196. I have installation routes by default, and specific directions to 10.10.138.129 on the host and the guest without success. I talked to a few colleagues and they are not of course either. I need this available, so it can be used for a variety of applications.

  You will not see a virtual NETWORK adapter for bridged interface, only for NAT and the host-only networking. There will be a device/dev/vmnet0, but that is not actually used to fill itself.

  Your problem is that your bridged interface is bound to the wrong card on the host: it must be related to "bond0" not "eth0". You will need to re - run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl to address which forces all running VMs to be stopped.

• Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

  Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

  Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

  In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

  I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

• Cannot ping my virtual machines!

  Hello

  I have install a machine running Windows 2008 R2 server that has 4 network cards. The server is also my domain controller and dns server.

  NIC 1:

  IP = 192.168.0.27

  Subnet = 255.255.255.0

  Gateway = 192.168.0.10 (IP address of my router)

  DNS = 127.0.0.1

  2 NETWORK CARD:

  People with disabilities

  3 NETWORK ADAPTER:

  IP = 192.168.0.28

  Subnet = 255.255.255.0

  Gateway = 192.168.0.10

  DNS = 127.0.0.1

  NETWORK 4 CARD:

  IP = 192.168.0.25

  Subnet = 255.255.255.0

  Gateway = 192.168.0.10

  DNS = 127.0.0.1

  I installed WM player on the server and created 2 VM, also the two Windows 2008 R2 running.

  I want each of my 3 servers (host + 2 vm) to use a separate NETWORK card, so I used vmnetcfg to create 2 virtual networks.

  VMnet3 is filled to NIC 3

  VMnet4 is filled to NIC 4

  Edit vmx file VM1 saying to use VMnet3

  Have edited the VM2 vmx file to say things to use VMnet4 (see below)

  ethernet0. Present = 'TRUE '.
  ethernet0. ConnectionType = "custom".
  ethernet0.VNET = "VMnet4.
  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".
  ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".
  ethernet0. AddressType = 'generated '.
  ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00: 0C: 29:5 C: 85:EA."
  ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = '0 '.

  When I connect to VM1, I see that it has an IP of 192.168.0.29.

  It can connect to the internet and it can ping the host 192.168.0.27, BUT any other computer (including the host) can ping VM1

  Even when I have connection to VM2, I see that it has an IP of 192.168.0.31.

  It can connect to the internet and it can ping the host 192.168.0.27, BUT any other computer (including the host) can ping VM2

  Any ideas where I'm wrong?

  Welcome to the community,

  Did you only allow ICMP in the firewall of the customer. By default, the ping responses are disabled in Windows 2008 R2.

  With regard to your configuration. I suggest you disable TCP/IP on NIC3 and NIC4 and don't leave the active "VMware Bridge Protocol".

• VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  Thank you.

  -Phil Anzel

  FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

  The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

  Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

  The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

  Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

  Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

• VMWarer Image cannot start the Virtual Machine in Windows 7

  Receive a machine with disc encryption HARD full of checkpoint on it. I had successfully converted to a virtual machine Image, unfortunately every time tried to start gives me BSOD.

  Tried to fix it, tried to return to the image, but the same results.

  There were no errors during the conversion. complete cleaning.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  How did you convert the image in a virtual machine?
  have you changed the type of Adapter LSI - SAS during conversion?

• Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0

  The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.

  Log file is attached below.

  An update of the firmware could certainly help.  After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need.  Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host.  And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.

  Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.

  See you soon,.
