Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

Environment:

Dell Poweredge T620

E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

5.5 of VMware ESXi

ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

Thanks for all the help!

  • Cannot create a virtual machine with more than 256 GB

    I thought that the max capacity 2 TB vm. but I can't create a virtual machine more than 256 GB. what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    You probably use a block size of 1 MB, which limits a single HDD 256 GB.  You will need a larger block size

    1 MB = 256 GB

    2 512 GB

    4 MB = 1024 GB

    8 MB = 2048 GB

  • The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

    Hello.

    I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

    1 get the view of data center

    2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

    3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

    4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

    Above information is a table.

    I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

    Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

    Thank you.

    You can try one of the following values-

    1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

    2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

    The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

    $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

    my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

    ...

    }

  • ESXi 5.1 cannot start a virtual machine with Admission check has no memory error

    I see that there were a number of people who have this error and adjusting the reserve memory for the VIM under resources system has solved this problem, but not for me. My booking in the VIM process setting is '0'. Vital signs:

    4 cores of the processor

    I changed the memory to the VM all the way up to 1 GB, no change.

    I played a bit with the allocation of memory VIM, no change.

    A fact interesting is that the Allocation of resources for the tab host watch memory @ 1747MB capacity, capacity reserved @ 0MB and available @ 1747MB capacity, but I have 4 GB of RAM and the vSphere Client shows it under the Configuration tab.

    This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Stop/start multiple virtual machines with names created automatically

    Now I would like to just stop every VM 'vm-140-QA' to 'vm-160-qa.

  • 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

    Impossible to deploy virtual machines in the pool of resources 'resgroup-131.

  • 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 start a virtual machine from an ISO stored on the NFS share

    We have an NFS share on our Windows 2003 server to serve the ISOs for virtual machines

    However if we have attached an ISO to a virtual machine and configured to boot from it, it does not find the ISO, just attempts to boot from the network, but if copy us the ISO in a data store local it will start and install correctly.

    We set the NFS share for anonymous access on Windows Server, we tried with both read and write permissions, but still no luck

    Anyone can get an idea about this

    Thank you

    ESXi must connect to the NFS share with the root account.  You will have to map the root login to an account on the Windows Server.   You can see a sample of the instructions here - http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/vmware-esxi/connect-esxi-to-windows-nfs.

  • ESX 4.0 - cannot start a virtual machine?

    I have recently install ESX 4.0 evalution in mode. We stopped for the licenses of our distributor who will take 3 to 4 days.

    ESX 4 installs successfully on DL 360 G5 and I use 30 MSA with 7 discs (1.6 to total) as a storage device. It detects the local drives and 1.6 to datastore perfectly. But when I create a simple virtual machine and start reading the BONES of CD ROM it does not start. Is it because I use eval mode. I think ESX 4 is fully functional and active for 60 days. When I start the virtual computer it concludes with the message "Operating System not found" and not even boot from the CD ROM After two or three configurations of chaning of VM, I'm still not able to understand. Can someone tell me where I am doing wrong. In ESX 3.5, I ran the virtual machine correctly but in ESX 4, I'm not sure. This is a new server and ESX 4.0 is also new facility. I also appreciate if someone tells me a guide that shows step by step how to create a virtual ESX simple machine. I have not yet install VC 4 as I have not yet received the licenses.

    Thanks in advance

    Please check the following things

    1, "to connect to the power on ' should be checked for the CDROM in editing parameters

    2, Goto VM BIOS and check if the CDROM is the first boot device.

    3, check the CD-ROM drive to start a physical machine

    4, check if you connect the CD-ROM drive to a remote location.
