Cannot start vmware converter

I am at my wits end and I thought that I'll never ask publicly a question as simple as that: I installed Virtual Center 2.5 and want to run vmware converter. services are running, but how do I start the GUI?

This should be the easiest thing in the world, but there are no shortcuts, no start, no exe files work menu entry (they are all CLI tools), and my VI client doesn't give me any options to import...

It seems to be properly installed in C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\Converter Enterprise, services run etc. I just want to see the graphical interface, so I can import a physical machine.

It seems that you have installed the Converter server. Have you downloaded the plugin converter to the VI Client? "If this isn't the case, please go to the Plugins menu-> manage Plugins... and download the plugin converter in the tab" available "within"plugin Manager"?

If the converter server is installed and registered successfully with your VirtualCenter server, you should be able to see a link to download the plug-in in the tab"available" converter plugin Manager '. "

Only after the installation of the converter plug-in, you should be able to see the VI Client options for importing a physical machine. You may have to restart the VI Client after downloading the converter VI client plug-in.

  • Cannot start vmware - black screen

    Dear experts

    I got the following specifications: win 10 Build 10547, VMWare Player 7.1.2 build 2780323.

    On my disk, VMware several resident (OSs Win7 and Win10).

    My problem is that I can't open the VMwares.

    If I start the VMware Player by double clicking (not as administrator) I get the error message: the VMware authorization Service does not work.

    I checked the service and it works, I also rebooted, but there was no improvement.

    If I start the VMware Player as an administrator and try to turn on the VMware process is suspended.

    After turning on a vmware, I get a black screen and nothing happens.

    VMware Player does not react and I need to finish the process.

    Any ideas what could be the problem?

  • Cannot start vm converted from Server 2 to the ESXi4

    Hello

    I have a problem with the converted vm boot from Server 2 straight to ESXi 4. Used the last Converter 4.0.1 - 1.

    previous 4.0 was not able to create the ide controller.

    After the boot, black screen with the cursor is displayed. No travel

    Details:

    ESXi 4 Installation on hp enterpise desktop dc7900 (core 2 duo, sata drive)

    Edit the disc (VM on the server 2):

    Adapter: IDE 0 device: 0 (disc 1)

    Edit the disc (the VM even converted on ESX 4i):

    IDE (0:0) hard drive 1

    Tell the truth, I don't know why the drive on the virtual machine source is IDE... But it's important VM and I would like to make it work on ESXi 4.

    Please help to make it work.

    THX.

    Michael.

    By default the virtual machine in VMware Server have a virtual IDE drive.

    But on ESX (i) is better to use a virtual drive SCSI (the only supported up to vSphere).

    You can try to maintain the same controller, but you can also change and converter will reconfigure your OS (if supported) to match the new controller.

  • Cannot start the physical machine converted to a virtual machine under ESXi 4.0

    Hi all

    I have 2 has with the material below

    Dell optiplex 755 2.4 Qcore 4 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HARD drive

    A performer with ESXi 4.0 other runs with Windows 2003.

    I tried to convert physical machine with "Vmware Vcenter converter Stand alone" 4.0.1 build 161434

    I used the tool on the source machine and by another machine on the network.

    The two process converts the physical machine to a virtual machine successfully without any errors.

    After conversion, the virtual machine cannot start, and shows only a small slider that is not flashing too.

    The physical machine have a single partition of 160 GB

    The space currently used on the physical machine is 26 GB.

    I reduced the size of the HARD drive to virtual computer with fix / light available in 40 GB.

    point to make here is that the ESX have only 160 GB HDD, so he will not be able to copy all 160 GB because of which I am reducing the 40 GB HARD drive

    I converted a few other physical machines with 40 GB HARD drive and they work well after the conversion.

    Any sugessions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Go to System32\Drivers on the source server and determine whether symmpi.sys is in this folder. Otherwise, copy from a known working 2003 VM and copy also in drivers.cab in Windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab

    Run the conversion again and choose the no power over the new VM and not turn off the source, in this way, you can check if the process is running. If so, great! If this isn't the case, observe the worker logs yet, find "could not find" or "reconfiguration failed with" to determine the cause of the failure.

    I have a lot of experience with this exact problem and it is almost always something to do with symmpi.sys

  • VMWare cannot start Windows 7 from Bootcamp Partition

    MacPro with separate internal disk used to run Windows 7 on it without any problem.  At some point, I noticed that the drive that was labeled 'Windows' read, 'Untitled '.  I started VMWare and went to run the virtual machine where Windows and read the splash screen "Starting AMD Am79C970A network" which means that the boot drive has been completely bipassed.  I looked in the bios and the hard drive is selected and initialization of the network would be a relief.

    I guess the thing is that the drive on which Windows is installed has become unbootable plu somehow and I'm not really saavy enough to solve this and I was wondering if someone can offer a suggestion that reinstalling Windows (which would eliminate a very mature plant).

    I tried creating a new virtual machine and adding a new hard drive, pointing both to the library > Application Support > VmWare Fusion > VMS > Bootcamp > dev disk 1 > Boot Camp partiton > Boot Camp partition.vmdk, but this file is not selectable for a reason any.

    Anyone has an idea where to go on this?

    Have you tried simply remove and time of the Boot Camp virtual machine? Essentially, it recreates the Boot Camp metadata that may be incorrect at this stage.

  • Cannot start program with vmware-the unit - helper.exe

    Hello community,

    First of all, I have an Internet Explorer with the vmware-the unit - helper.exe

    I can run mode of the unit and can also start Internet Explorer of the UnityStartMenu.

    My config is:

    HostOS: Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise

    AntiVirus: Sophos 9.0.0

    VMware: WS 7 build-203739

    VM: Windows XP SP2 with IE 6

    Startup of IE command:

    "c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware - unity - helper.exe"-run "h:\VM\VMware_VM\Win XP_SP2_unitymode\vm.vmx" "" C:\Programme\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE. "." EXE ".

    The next test that I did.

    Start the VM - & gt; View - & gt; activate the Mode Unity - & gt; launch IE using the menu start VMware / work

    Start the VM - & gt; View - & gt; activate the Mode Unity - & gt; Startup of IE using the above command / didn't work

    Start the VM - & gt; View - & gt; disable the Mode Unity - & gt; startup of IE using the above command / didn't work

    Shutdown VM - & gt;  startup of IE using the above command / didn't work

    I don't get the error message when I run the command. I found some clues that this "tool" does not work with Windows and can only be used on Linux hosts.

    You also have a similar experience?

    Thanks a lot for the effort you

    I wish you merry Christmas and happy new year.

    On the Linux server you are converting.  When the converter reaches step 3 Options display/change the last option is called Helper VM Network.  You can change this option and add an ip address.  The ip address must be on the same network to your default gateway on your Linux server.

  • Anyway to face disconnected VMWare Converter startup disk?

    I have a computer that is dead, and I want to virtualize the computer.   Is it possible to use any version of VMWare Converter steering on a boot device that belongs to a different computer than the one currently loaded?    The boot device in this case was SATA, and we would just climb as boot device as a disc of data on another computer.

    It seems that VMWare Converter has a coded hypothesis hard it can work as an administrator in the OS environment started it virtualizes, but I hope that there is another way to execute to achieve desired virtualization.

    The following procedure will not work if the startup disk has a Windows operating system.

    1 lauch Workstation right-click of the icon and use "run as Administrator".

    2. create the new virtual machine
    3 assign the physical disk instead of the one given by the wizard.
    4. do not start the virtual machine
    5 lauch converter via "run as Administrator"
    6. Select the option "set up the machine" and select the vmx file - you just created with workstation.

    If you do not want to run the virtual machine from the external drive use vmware-vdiskmanager and convert the vmdk you created in step 3 in a normal vmdk.

    The members of the Forum Pro first - Hello


    Can someone out there describe in simple basic procedure, how a first time user start using Premiere Pro to the layer just a moving figure video of 5 minutes (a friend aerial artist model with white moving belt in silk on a rest mainly black background layer and a change to a night sky stars panorama I photographed previously?)

    I know that this can easily be done, I have worked in thousands of still images with creative cloud for previous years, but not yet in video in Premiere Pro, so thanks for any advice.

    I enclose the actual video that I use and some samples of the fields of the night sky that I photographed recently for ideas

    I intend to make possibly more elaborate, but for now if anyone of you could just show the basic commands and menus/menus to start to do it simply and quickly. Maybe how to most later convert it tone black & white or sepia. The ideas here is to recreate a sequence modern suite of familiar German Film, wings of desire. Perhaps also a progression in the future to create an effect of the night sky very slowly turning into one layer background behind the main façade first video layer in normal movement. Then maybe a little further - how to adjust the speed of the front to a path layer more slow half price while keeping the substantive motion, the original speed. (* although I realize that I didn't do in 64 fps for the slow movement, I am not concerned about that and would actually welcome a light old world "flip effect framework" as if, in appearance of the films more former silent motion.) * In addition, possibly cutting on 'dead time' a few seconds at the beginning of the video and the 2nd or 3rd time for a few seconds of this unexpected error, when the silk scarf fell on the camera lens (without changing the audio timeline?)
