• 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

  I hope someone can advise.

  Thank you

• Cannot turn on the virtual machine in VMware workstation

  Hello

  I have windows 2008 stocked VM of windows 4.1.Inside ESX VM 2008 I installed VMware workstation and created the virtual machine in vmware workstation. When I have tride to power on the VM iam getting error below. Please help me.

  "Running vmware workstation in a virutal machine requires external thr virtual machine is configured to run the vmware esx host operation system.you may not power on a vierutal machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.

  This is the VM vmx nested - you must add this line to the external virtual machine - one who runs in ESXi

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• New virtual machine cannot reach gateway all-in-olders Yes

  Hi, I'm using ESXi for a year with no problems, but now I'm having a very strange situation. New virtual machine cannot reach the front door, while the 'old'. New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa, but new looks as private. I tried different OS and still have the same question.

  That's what I have:

  Reference DELL R610 with RAID - 1 and RAID-5

  ESXi free 348481 4.1.0

  1 card NETWORK connected

  IPs public 16

  4 VM (W 2008 32bits, W 2008R2 64, 32 2008 W, W 2008 64) works perfectly

  All VM are stored on the local Datastore2 (raid-5)

  Last week, I installed:

  1 Openfiler ESA (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 R2 (gateway problem)

  1 W XP 32 (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 32 (gateway problem)

  Older VM never lose connection with gateway and beyond

  New never manage to bridge

  I can't manually add gateway IP/mac address (error 5) in the new.

  Anyone can figure it out and how to solve? I'm really lost.

  Thank you

  New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa...

  This excludes actually questions 'virtual '. The vSwitch has no restrictions.

  What kind of physical switch are you using? If this is a CISCO switch to ensure that the port is configured as a port of access (or trunk port) and spans tree portfast is. Some CISCO switches have a "macro"set desktop on their ports which limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed on the port.

  PS: Please don't ask me. Did you check the address of the gateway AND subnet mask are correct for the new virtual machines?

• New virtual machine cannot see host DVD rom

  I installed VMware ESX 3i 3.5.0 Build 123629 on a new Dell PowerEdge 2900 and began the process of adding new virtual machines. The Issus is that when I start the virtual machine and intsaller attempted the BONE of the guest virtual computer does not see the DVD, even if it is the setup of the virtual machine. When I go in the settings of the virtual machine and try to set up DVD to use the host device, I get the message that no device is available. Help...

  

  SATA has always been a little flakey when it comes to ESX.  You should maybe update your BIOS or make some small changes in the BIOS for him to see the player.  A quick fix would be to create an ISO of the DVD that you want to use and upload it to your data store to use until you get the problem solved.

• OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

  I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

  # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
  $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
  # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
  $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
  $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
  #$Spec | Select *.

  # Get our VM
  # Change network settings
  Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
  -Confirm: $false | out-null
  # Close the comments to make change.
  Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
  # Wait while feedback stops
  While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
  {
  Start-Sleep - seconds 1
  $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
  }
  # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
  Get - VM "BigServername" |
  Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
  Start-VM

  I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

  OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

  Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

  I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

  This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin.

  I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

  In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

• create the new virtual machine, access to a physical disk

  I just created a new virtual machine. Then, I deleted the preconfigured disk and added a physical disk. This drive is connected to my computer with an S - ATA to USB docking station. The wizard displays all of the data, were leaving and so on correctly. But when I try to turn on the virtual machine, it tells me that it cannot access the drive.

  What I am doing wrong?

  I use Windows 7 64-bit with VMware Player 3.

• How to build a new virtual machine based on cluster with powercli?

  When you create a new virtual machine on cluster in the user interface, you cannot select the host, it is decided by the cluster.

  Now, I want to create a new vm on cluster by powerCli. I have not found any parameter to specify the cluster.

  Only the "$vmhost" to specify the host.

  Why are they so different?

  Can someone help me understand it and how to create a new VM on cluster?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello, bob1118-

  While, as you said, it has non - Cluster parameter to the cmdlet New - VM, you _can_ effectively specify the cluster at new time of creation of VM via PowerCLI: you specify the list of resources within the desired cluster.  So a partial New - VM call would look like:

  New-VM -Name myNewVM0 -ResourcePool (Get-Cluster myDestinationCluster | Get-ResourcePool -Name "Resources") -Template ...
  

  Who uses the resource pool default "Resources" that exists in a cluster.  And, you could fill in the rest of the parameters relevant to the new virtual machine of your desires.  How do I?

• Failed to create a new virtual machine

  Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place.  This seems to be the closest subject to my problem.

  I captured a physical process, which went rather smooth.  I moved the files in the data store and have created the virtual machine.  However, when I turn on the virtual machine, I get this message

  "

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/5217833f-885a38b4-990th-001018ce2100/TFSVR. TwinForks/TFSVR. TwinForks.local.vmdk'

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7.  Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  "

  -What this means and how can I solve this problem?

  You cannot convert the virtual machine to ESX without convert it directly to a vCenter/vSphere server.  At this point, you will need to take the external hard drive to connect to a server that is able to access the server from vSphere and rerun the converter with VMware workstation as a source and a server VMware (ESX) as destination.

• VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

  This is a quote from the VMware Fusion Professional 6 product page:

  VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.

  Where can I find these IT administration tools?  I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.

  How can I do this?

  Thank you!

  Glitch004,

  You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

  1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

  2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

  installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

  3 restart merger and you will find:

  . VM library is hide in the VM menu.

  . only one virtual machine can be used, while click second VM Fusion of the reports ' Unable to open document. "

• 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.

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...

• VMware Workstation 9.0 restarts my PC trying to turn on a virtual machine

  Hello everyboddy! On Sunday, I installed VMware Workstation, Version: version 9.0.0 build-812388 and configured a new virtual machine. I installed Windows 8 Enterprise on it and everything was fine. The same day that I had no problem at all - I have turned on and off the power of the virtual machine without any reboot. But today, when I try to power the virtual machine, I created loads for a while and then suddenly my PC restarts. I tried 3 times and the result was the same. Can you tell me where is the problem and help solve it, please?

  My PC:

  ASUS M3N-H/HDMI

  AMD Phenom 9350e Quad-core 2.00 GHz

  NVIDIA GT240 GDDR3 512 MB

  2 x 2 GB DDR II 800 MHz RAM (only 3 GB usable due to the OS)

  SE host: Windows 7 Ultimate x 86 SP1

  Settings of the virtual machine:

  

  PS Minutes ago I reduced the computer virtual memory to about 1.2 GB and made a new attempt to launch the virtual machine, but that this time he gave me the following error message: fatal error (vcpu-0)

  vCPU - 0:SVM is disabled and locked on this CPU (or something like that)

  And here's the last log file:

  One of your four hearts a SVM disabled and locked.  The other three are not.  You should be able to run virtual machines using the binary translation (set the execution mode privileged binary translation under VM-> settings-> processors).  However, you will get into trouble if you try to use (SVM) hardware-assisted virtualization.

  Have you checked for an update of the BIOS?
