• List not updated virtual machines after the migration of the virtual machine to a different data store

  My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.

  Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.

  I migrate VM to a data to another store.

  The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.

  If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.

  I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.

  I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.

  How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?

  Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?

  Concerning

  Marius

  This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

• No network on the virtual machine after the use of converter

  I was running a basic vm (WinXP) on an esxi4.1 host running short of disk space.

  So I ran the vCenter Converter Standalone client to copy the original VM on a new - the only thing that I changed the size of the disc thin provisioned avaiable.   The copy/convert seemed to work your.

  I started in the new virtual machine, and it came exactly as the old one (with the largest disk).

  ... but the network on the works of more than vm.

  I can still use vSphere to connect to the esxi server and bring up the VM console (which tells me that the network the server works very well).  When I look at the configuration of the virtual machine, it looks exactly like the old (complete with a network powered).   But on the virtual machine, I can't even ping the router, much less get to the dhcp server.

  I even went so far as to stop the virtual machine, remove the network card, restart the virtual machine (if the network has been removed from the virtual machine), stop the virtual machine again, add a NEW network adapter.

  Still the problem remains.  The virtual machine has a network card - but has no network.

  A few thoughts:

  You use a managed physical switch? If so, check if the MAC address of the VM is seen on one of the uplink ports.

  The network management and the virtual machine using the same IP subnet? You could probably try (if possible) is to create an another vSwitch and attach the XP VM to it to see if there is a problem with the virtual machine and the management on the same vSwitch network.

• Network down frequently on a virtual machine after the upgrade of computers host and vmware to win 10

  Dear all,

  A week ago, I upgraded both my two machines VMWare Win 7 to win 10, as well as the host operating system. also from 7 to 10.

  Now once every 1 or 2 days, one or both the two vmwares aura an esclamation mark on the network status icon in the lower right corner and West no connection.

  The host operating system is NOT having any problems with the network.

  The solution is to disable and reactive the adapter to virtual machines, or repair of running Network Diagnostics where she'll tell me that it s has reinstated the connection to the bridge. But obviously I´d prefer the VM´s to be on the internet 24/7 without my intervention.

  I have another computer on the same router on which I did the same thing, but with this I m not having these problems. A different and not connected equipment via the VPN running on the host OS, which is the case with the machine that s had questions.

  But even once, the host operating system is not having issues, the two VM´s aren´t always the two to have this problem, and this never happened when he was all Win 7.

  I ve disabled some nights windows defender analysis and TCP/IP V6, but neither helped.

  Want to see some of the information from the last network diagnostics / repair or some log file, or you already know what would be the solution to my problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards

  Well, I thought that a vm was having this problem a lot more often than the other, so I looked for error messages in windows journal, showing that the network problem - have to with DHCP btw - always spent 2 minutes after an event regarding slui.exe, not found on the other machine.

  What I also noticed was that the problematic vm had lost its activation of windows with the upgrade to win 10 (win 10 has limits to how much the same license can be run as virtual machines), is is not the case for the more successful one.

  Then I copied the good machine, which contains the same as the other, changed mac and uuid and now it s showing that enabled, no problem so far.

• State of the virtual machine after the host failure

  Hello

  If a virtual machine is running on a host and that host suddenly powers off dirty, like a power failure or a remote access card power the server due to a fault, overtemp etc., what happens to the virtual machine?

  My guess is the virtual machine is actually difficult, dirty off too and if HA is configured, etc it is going to do a full power on sequence. Or is it restart on a new server and be automatically in the same power state with the same States of memory and cpu until the host has dropped dead? So if I got a connection of the DRC in a vm of windows server and the host dies suddenly and it restarts, reconnect to the session even State immediately before the breaking of the host?

  Thank you

  When ESX\ESXi fails due to power failure:

  No configured HA:

  1. all virtual machines is also faces off against the sudden stop. SMV will lose data runtime and all communications (including the RDP connection) will be interrupted.

  Configured HA:

  1 VMs will be powered - on on a different host. However, its the same as a reset of the virtual machine, we will lose any unsaved data.

  VMware FT:

  We ensure 100% uptime for a virtual machine using VMware Fault Tolerance. In case of failure of the host, next time school resumes VM in FT. More details on IP are available at the following link.

• Cannot open 2 Virtual Machines at the same time to access the same database

  People,
  
  Hello.
  I'm installing RAC Oracle Database 11 g 2 system with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on top 3 VMPlayer.
  
  The VM rac1 and rac2 when one of them is stopped.
  Their locations are F:\VM_RAC\rac1 and F:\VM_RAC\rac2.
  
  
  I opened rac1 rac2 is running. But this error message appears:
  
  Error: "cannot open F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk drive or one instant records, that depends. Reason: cannot lock the file. »
  
  
  While rac1 running, I opened rac2. But this error message appears:
  
  Error: "cannot open F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk drive or one instant records, that depends. Reason: cannot lock the file. »
  
  
  2 error messages are the same. This means that I can not open 2and rac1 rac2 VMs at the same time. When we run RAC system, must open 2 "machines" or machines to more than 2 at the same time, so that all machines can access the same database server.
  
  My question is:
  
  Can all folk tell me how have rac1 and rac2 run at the same time?
  
  Thank you.

  Unfortunately no, Oracle RAC requires that all nodes can visit the same set of shared disks. If your database resides within the DSO, each instance ASM (one per node) must also see the same set of disks to ASM diskgroup containing the data of the database files.

• You can dial space provisioned end back to a virtual machine after the fact in vCenter

  I know you the converter stand-alone to get there, but I can't seem to do this in vCenter himself. Basically I have a model of Windows operating system that has a vDisk containing the boot partition thin value 100 GB provisioned. It is in fact only using a little less 15GB and I want to do this cut in half and make it thin 50 GB provisioned. What is the best way to do that is clean?

  Alternatively, you can use vmware to the fret converter

• Cannot depend on the virtual machine after reboot

  Hello world

  Thanks for reading this post.

  My version VM ESXI4.1.0, 348481.

  Here's my problem:

  One day my VM was hanged, and I tried to restart.

  After the reboot, it can be turn on. And I tried to remove the inventory and to recreate the virtual machine.

  However, I can't find the. VMX file in the data store.

  So I tried to create a new virtual machine and put the files in this folder, but it can also work.

  Please see the capture screen, (http://clip2net.com/s/2aNUG)

  Could someone give me guidance and advice how to solve?

  Thank you very much.

  According to the latest vmware.log file, you have tried to access one of the files base/flat with a wrong header file (40 GB)! This hopefully not bad data on the virtual disk. In any case, I've recreated the missing files (see attachment), so you should be able to redo the work of the virtual machine. Because the vmware.log file did not help, I've recreated the instant chain according to the timestamps of the delta file.

  Please follow it below mentioned steps exactly to avoid problems in case something does not work as expacted:

  • Make sure the flat files as well as files 2 6 delta are still in place (not renamed,...)
  • remove the virtual machine from the inventory of the host (right-click-> "Remove from inventory") ESXi
  • delete the temporary/second .vmx unless there is a special need for it
  • Download the files from the .zip file in the folder of the virtual machine on the data store
  • Click right newly downloaded virtual machine's .vmx file and choose "add to the inventory.
  • create a new snapshot (this is important!)
  • Turn on the virtual machine

  If something is not or you have questions, please send back before moving on to the other steps.

  If everything works as expected you should consider the 'Delete All' snapshots in snapshot Manager. This will release not only almost 200 GB of disk space, but can also improve the performance of the virtual machine. Because the size of the snapshot, remove snapshots may take some time, probably in hours!)

• Cannot start the unique virtual machine after you have patched ESXi to 4.1.0 800830

  I patched a standalone ESXi host yesterday, leading a successful ESXi 4.1.0 800830 upgrade.

  The majority of my virtual machines started very well but it fails to start with the following error (as the specified file does not exist (?)). As I've not met it before, and I'm running out of time, anyone would offer nuggets of wisdom while I continue to trawl the web / these forums for a response?

  

  Thank you

  Can you browse the data store where is stored the than VM and check what files you see in the directory for this virtual machine? The error claimed that it cannot find a file of virtual disk for this virtual machine.

• Unable to start the virtual machine after failing to remove the snapshot

  Recently, I tried to delete a snapshot on a Windows XP virtual machine in VMware server 2.0. After a few minutes, the operation has failed, then the GUI crashed. I was not able to manage one of my virtual machines until I rebooted the server. My other virtual machines still work fine. I can't just run the virtual machine on which I tried to remove the snapshot. This virtual machine is very important to me and I would try to get it back. Does anyone have advice? Also, I upgraded this version of VMware server 1.x to 2.x, so please let me know if this may have something to do with this problem. Thanks in advance.

  An additional note. If the virtual machine starts, I suggest that you run chkdsk, just to make sure that there are no problems with the file system of the client.

• Cannot start multiple virtual machines.  Maybe I corrupted the model

  We had problems with disk space, and I was looking around to see if he had left garbage data store.  I am very new to VM, but even though I'm new I'm responsible for helping maintain.  So I learn a lesson the hard way.

  I found a number of virtual machines in organized which did not seem to relate to existing models.  For example, we have a model name 000729-Server2008 Server 2008, that they are in lm401\729.  But it appers to be a clone of 729 to lm401\16.  I'm going to guess that 16 was the original version and changes or clones have been made for him and we are now sitting to 729.

  Then I moved 16 in another data store, but it failed because there is a lock on the hard master.  So I moved everything back.  Now, when we try to start up of VMs driven from this model we get "file & lt; filename not specified & gt; not found"I went back and tried to deploy and supply on the model but I get

• 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.

  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.

• Unable to start the virtual machine after Migration - ESXi hosts

  Last night I wanted to move a virtual machine to a host of test to a production cluster.  All hosts (test and production) have shared access to the same LUN, so I usually am able to simply remove the virtual machines of the inventory in the test environment and add them to the production environment by accessing the .vmx on the data store file.  Two of the 3 hosts migrate perfectly and are running in the production environment.  However, the third server, while the migration starts.

  First he gave me errors that it was missing some files.  The only thing I did was different to rename the folder for the virtual machine on the data store.  It was called 'New Virtual Machine' for a reason, so I renamed it to "Antivirus."  However, something strange happened.  Instead of renaming the folder, it seems was created a new folder named "Antivirus" and the old folder 'New Virtual Machine' was still there.  In addition, the renamed folder 'Antivirus' had only SOME of the files needed.  So I just copied from the old folder in the folder "Antivirus" and he hung up the virtual disk of 20 GB file.  So I closed the VI client and checked the vdmk 20 GB folder and back this morning is in the folder with other files.  However, when I try to start the virtual machine, I get the "cannot access a file because it is locked" error message.

  I've done some detective and I noticed that in my second datastore where was the other folder vdmk, the file was now .40kB in size.  Looks like I've lost my other vdmk folder.  What happens here?

  It looks that the virtual machine was still running when you tried to change the name, so the old folder could not be renamed because of the lock. That's why a new folder has been created instead, and why your vm hung on the vmdk file until the lock has been released. Don't know what happened to the 2nd vmdk file, but the file vmware.log in virtual machine directory must have some info as to why does not start the virtual machine. If the 2nd vmdk is gone, this might be a reason.

• Unable to connect to the virtual machine after they are created

  I installed VMware view and connected to my server Vcenter. Composer, I installed the server vcenter and View manager recognizes it.

  I created a virtual Windows Vista machine, is joined to the domain and instant, it.

  I then created a persistent office pool and allowed users to access.  I can see the virtual machine created the VCenter

  However, the view Client cannot access the virtual machine (he can see the office pool) bit tells me that the customer is not available.

  Any ideas on what I missed?

  Go to the desktop the pool in view Administrator resources and check the status, it should say "Ready".  If this is not the one usually means that there is something blocking the port 4001 of the agent on the view connection server.  I got this when deploying a pool on a different subnet and there is a network between the areas of the network firewall.  The Vista firewall can sometimes be reset on the deployed virtual check computer so who has not been reactivated and adjust the GPO if necessary.
