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.

  • ESXi embedded, cannot start the new virtual machine

    We have installed just a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with ESXi embedded.  That part went well.  I am able to connect through the client.  I can create a new virtual machine.  That's where I met problems.  No matter what I tried the machine does not start.  I ' v tried the host device as CDROM, the device as CDROM, and even customer created ISO W2003 CD and downloaded.  I can't understand why he won't start.   Whenever he tried to boot from the network or when he fails he just says "operating system not found" and stays like that.  I started in the bios of the virtual machine and made sure the startup options are correct, etc.  I'm lost.

    I read this forum for like a day and while I see some who have had similar problems, I have not seen this precise question or a question with an answer that applies to my question.  It could be the pre holiday drink

  • Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

    Hi guys,.

    I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

    We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

    My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

    My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

    Q please?

    Best regards

    Stéphane

    82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

    Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

  • 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.

    I can't do anything else until I get comments. Can anyone recommend a way to solve this problem?

    I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not...

    I agree

    Two a problem with the new drive.

    1. You get the error message comes from the basic disk with a different size than the disks of the snapshot.
    2. With a size of 256 GB, you will not be able to create snapshots of the disk (on ESXi prior to 5.0 with a block size of 1 MB)

    What you can try to do is to edit the file PJAEast - DL01_1.vmdk :

    • 536870912 VMFS 'PJAEast-DL01_1 - flat hard' RW--> RW 70943040 VMFS 'PJAEast-DL01_1 - flat hard. "
    • DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = "33418'-> ddb.geometry.cylinders = '4416.

    After that, I would recommend to clone the virtual disk to a new one, replace the virtual disk in the virtual machine settings and resize it to a maximum of 254GB (see "calculates the time system required by the snapshot files" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384)

  • Cannot start the new hard drive after clone on T61p

    I have a T61p which had a Hitachi HD of 100G.  I bought through Lenovo a Toshiba 500 G HD placed in the location of the laptop HD, put the old HD 100 G in an ultrabay adapter when we normally DVD drive and booted from a Clonezilla Live USB 4 G drive.  I made one device to device taking the detault options.  Seems to have worked without any problems.  I change all parameters of the pre box office IBM.

    BIOS is set to boot the HD in the laptop HD slot, then the HD in the ultrabay slot.  However, after start-up, it seems I'm now start from the old drive in the ultrabay adapter.  Windows Vista disk management shows the two discs, and it shows both drives, even with a score of 700M, then roughly a score of 93G.  The new HD has the rest of the unallocated space, which is ok since I use Vista or GPARTED to decompress.  The old HD has a flag "boot" game, and both car are "active".

    If I take the HD in the ultrabay outside housing, I get a black screen with a title of Manager of Windows startup with three options, then the error below:

    file: \windows\system32\winload.exe

    status: 0xc000000e

    DESC: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

    I have googled and looked through this forum and found several hits, but I don't know what I see.  I saw where someone had used Norton Ghost with the - ib switch, but I have used Clonezilla.  Any ideas?

    ALSO, how can I know if I have successfully copied the pre box office IBM?  and if I have to put hormaux or people with reduced mobility, where could I do?

    Problem solved.  Since then I cloned the drive and which included the partition predesktop area/hidden from IBM, so with the old drive in the ultrabay being removed housing, I was able to start using the blue thinkvantage key when starting of the machine.  From there, I could run a repair that solved the problem.  Now, the new disc has the 'boot' flag and cannot be used for a startup in Windows Vista.

  • Cannot start a suspended virtual machine - impossible to find. VDMK

    Here's the situation.  I supported the package with the virtual machine using time capsule.  I got a serious problem and has decided to remove the virtual machine and return to the time capsule backup.

    Between making the backup and now VMWARE fusion doing an update.

    I can't start the restored VM.  He says he can't find the VDMK if referenced is there, is not corrupt and seems to be in good shape.

    So I thought I would just create a new virtual machine from the VDMK - or even add another virtual computer disk so I could pull some files needed from her.

    It does not work.  When choosing the VDMK - it is gray - and unselectable.

    Issues related to the:

    1. What can I do to get the virtual machine to start

    2. What can I do to ensure that I can select the VDMK and create a new VM from it if I'm not number 1?

    Thanks for any help - I'm quite sunk at this stage.

    Unfortunately, it seems that the 7 VM window is one of the hard data files ("Windows 7 - s010.vmdk") which I assume has a size between 1 and 2 GB missing! Please see if it's available in your backup.

    If this is not the case and you need to access the files on the virtual disk, create a new virtual machine, copy one of the newly created - s00x.vmdk files to the package Windows 7 VM and rename it to "Windows 7 - s010.vmdk. With this fact, or create a snapshot, and then try to turn on the computer virtual or not power on at all, but attach the virtual disk of the virtual machine to another / helper VM as a second drive to be able to access the files you need.

  • Windows 8 cannot connect to the external hard drive after you have added the drive case.

    Original title: I have my hard drive from my previous PC attached to my new PC with windows 8. My old PC had XP. How to access the external hard drive?

    I had problems with my XP operating system and could not transfer all the files to my new PC. I spoke with Dell who I believe created the problem with software support. I was told to get out the hard drive, buy a hard drive enclosure and get my files from there. I can't find the hard drive.

    Hello

    Thank you for the update.

    Given that the problem occurs when the hard drive is connected to a different USB port or another computer, it is probably related to the connection of the hard disk.

    Method 1: check if the problem occurs in another computer after removing the hard disk enclosure.

    Method 2:

     

    Step 1: Check if the hard drive is detected in Windows Explorer.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. connect the hard disk of the computer.

    b. press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.

    c. check if the hard drive is present here.

    Step 2: Check if the hard drive is detected in disk management.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. on the desktop, press the Windows key + X , and then select disk management.

    b. check if the hard drive is listed there.

    Contact the manufacturer of the hard drive and hard drive enclosure for assistance.
