• Create the cluster with existing Virtual Machines

  This will seem like an easy question, but I have 3 5.0 ESXi hosts managed by vCenter. We recently purchased a SAN and I would like to set up a cluster, can I do it with running on the existing VMS host computers and then to migrate in the SAN that I have create the cluster?

  If the hosts and the BIOS settings are the same there should not be a problem with placing them in a cluster. Displacement of that virtual machine to the San can be made as soon as the hosts are connected to him, it is not the members of classes.

• Unable to start the workstation on a virtual machine

  Hi all

  My requirement:

  =============

  Windows 2008 is running as a virtual machine and install VMware Workstation 7.0 on

  Install ESX 4.1 installed desktop

  Problem:

  ========

  When I try to turn on the virtual machine in workstation, he throws below error:

  "Running on a virtual machine VMware Workstation requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system." You may not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured. »

  Work to date

  =============

  Yesterday have searched communities and the net for about 10 hours to find a solution and got the answer by almost all sites below:

  1. Add this line monitor.virtual_exec = 'material' on an external virtual computer (average in the Windows 2008 VM's vmx file)

  2. Add this line monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE" on an internal virtual computer (refers to the vmx ESX VM file that I created on my computer)

  But it does not work. I get the same error as above.

  I'm fighting. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Pravin Goyal

  Add

  vmx.allowNested = "true" for the two files

  you do NOT have

  Monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware".

  in the external vmx

  stop this vm - last time you suspended - who will crush vmx - changes you make.

  You remember you unregister and register again the vmx file?

  BTW - this is the most delicate combination - why would you have a 64-bit external VM?

  Anyway - he is a hopeless case - it does not work

• vSphere 4.0u2 activate VCA with running virtual machines?

  Hello

  We are in the process of upgrading/migration of 4.0u2 ESX to ESXi 4.1.

  vCenter has been upgraded to 4.1 and we have received a couple of new hosts, which we are in the process of ESXi 4.1 installation on.

  We would like to put the new 4.1 hosts in a HA/DRS cluster's existing capabilities while we improve the hosts in a cluster.

  However, a difference between processors in the old and new guests two-way vMotion (Opteron 2435 vs. Opteron 6174).

  -I'm guessing that the new AMD - V 2.0 feature is to "blame"?

  It seems that the option activate CVS for Opteron Gen 3 is available on the cluster's existing ESX4.0u2 - even if the virtual machines are running.

  But will it work? And it is supported? (Seems at least that it was not possible in v3.5)

  I tried direct CVS on a test cluster containing two new hosts ESXi4.1 and a test of running VMs - this has worked.

  - And afterwards, I was able to vMotion on the 'old' cluster ESX4.0u2.

  But I'm a little reluctant to do a direct to CVS on our existing production cluster.

  Any input/experiences?

  Best regards

  Martin

  VCA goes through the same process of validation that vMotion don't - so it will not let you do if he won't have to work. I did not work with AMD chips in this configuration, but I did it with intel (and recently) and it worked very well and in production.

• Failover storage and a new analysis while running virtual machines?

  The guys from storage must update the firmware on our HP EVA 8000 without. Currently, all my LUN is replicated to another EVA. The guys from storage you want to switch on the other EVA LUN so that they can make updates of the firmware without changing anything. I planned a complete failure of all my virtual machines and hosts so that they can make the switch. Basically stop all virtual machines, stop the hosts, making failover LUNs and then turn everything back.

  My question is there anything that can be done online? We tried it a couple of weeks, and we were hoping to have just the storage team launch the failover and a new analysis on the ESX hosts. All ESX hosts that had run VMs on those LUNS could would not fail on Mon after a new analysis. I have another cluster which can also display these LUNs. They were able to rescan and see the failure on Lun without problem. The only difference is that these other hosts have not the virtual machines running on these LUNs.

  If this working or is this the behavior that we should expect to see? This change in all with vSphere?

  Management has come back and asked why we must take a complete failure and whether it can be avoided in the future.

  > do failover LUNs and then turn everything back. My question is there anything that can be done online?

  Depends on your storage space.  If the LUNS are replicated really, they are up to date and your paths are correct on the ESX AND you use alternating (unfixed) it should work fine.

  This really isn't a function of VM Ware, because technically, storage is really transparent to ESX.  If you can find a valid path to the data, it will use it.  Just to make sure that is not the FIXED path.

• Add hosts with existing virtual machines for 'Greenfield' active DRS Cluster

  I'm currently involved in a project for the hypervisor 5.5 and vCenter. Existing are 2 physical servers with redundant everything and 8 SAS hot swap hard drive bays. Initially, 8 bays only 4 have been populated with hard drives. Hard disks have been removed, ESXi 5.0 has been loaded, 4 virtual machines created on each server and all lived happily ever after.

  Now, I would like to upgrade these servers to 5.5... as follows:

  I filled the remaining 4 bays on each server with some hard disks and created a second strip of sufficient capacity (twice the capacity of the 4 original disks). I'm stop servers, past the stripe for starting a new band of readers and installed ESXi 5.5 on the new band. The old Strip also remains in tact, so that I can start to ESXi 5.0, if I set to boot from the original soundtrack or boot to ESXi 5.5 if I boot to the new band (two operating systems starts very well, are properly networked, configured vCenter, etc.).

  When booting in 5.5, he sees his own, new band and is also the soundtrack which is listed as a second data store attached (I think actually I want to make possible migration of the simple VM from the old to the new data store), both are disk space of LSI, Non - SSD, Type VFMS5.

  Panic sets in when I start both computers in 5.5 and the time comes to add 5.5 hosts in a cluster (I also want to test the vStorage DRS and HA) and I've reached the setting of the, "choose Resource Pool." I'm scared to death that choose the first option, "all of the virtual machines in this updated host in the cluster resource pool root. Pools of resources currently present on the host computer will be deleted. "will mean not only a reformatting of the new band which I would like to add to the cluster, but also the still attached old band that includes the data that I want to keep. I don't want to lose data or virtual machines on the soundtrack, but to migrate them in a cluster of 2 servers ESXi 5.5. I was really hoping to migrate data to new tapes on new hosts and then re - purpose boards 2 original (on both computers) as a third table vStorage.

  Issues related to the:

  1. If I choose the option "put all the virtual machines from the host in the pool of resources of the root cluster. Pools of resources currently present on the host computer will be deleted. "with all the drives connected, all my data will be lost?

  2. If I pull the 4 original disks (5.0) and use the option 'put all virtual machines from the host in the pool of resources of the root cluster. Pools of resources currently present on the host computer will be deleted. "that with the new arrays connected (5.5) and then reconnect the old paintings after that the hosts are added to the cluster, will be only the re added still get sucked into the tables and data deleted?

  3. choose the second option, "create a new resource pool for virtual machines from the host and resource pools. This preserves hierarchy to pool resources in. the host' a safe option? If this option works, no matter if I have my original array attached when you add hosts to the cluster?

  Last point: by reading all the documents I found it seems strongly suggested to set up guests who have not a deployed virtual machines, that's why I'm going to great efforts to try to keep the new hosts as empty as possible and with 1 port base networking while waiting to complete the configuration. Does it matter if I migrate virtual machines or add them as guests to the ESXi 5.5 before or after I have add hosts to the cluster?

  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

  I'd go with option C.

  VSAN I would agree has some stupid requirements, but that they were aiming for is almost class company SAN at a decent price by using the SSD as caching tables, but as you said if you don't need not good I would continue to go with a NAS NFS solution.

• Change the host for a virtual machine on a cluster and the host is not in accordance with the attached profile

  Hi all

  I have 02 questions.

  1. we have a cluster which has 02 physical hosts (Host1 and Host2). We have 02 virtual machines on the Cluster. Active DRS on the cluster.

  But the problem is that my 02 VMS are always stays on a Host2. A few weeks ago, each virtual machine carried out on each host. How can I place each virtual machine on each host to perform better.

  How to do this?

  2. I connect to the cluster using vSphere client 5.1, under summer host, I get the following message

  "Configuration problems: host is not in accordance with the attached profile.

  I suspect that this is the case for my question 1?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  I think I found the answer for the problem of home profile. I changed the following values to 1 for each host to > settings > under software > advanced settings >

  Under Data Mover

• If I use XP as a server and I'm an admin, I can see what programs the workstations are running?

  I want to know if employees use a computer for games & online communication.

  I don't know exactly what you're asking.  If the workstations are running programs that are located on your server, then Yes, you can see which files are open on your server:

  Right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> System Tools->-> open files, shared folders

  If you want to see the processes that are currently active on other computers, you can use a tool such as "PsList.exe" that can produce a list of active processes on a computer connected to the network, given that you have administrator credentials on the other computer.  PsList is a program in the suite programs PsTools:

• Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

  Hello

  We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

  We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

  The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

  Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

  The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

  Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

  You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

  If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

  If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

  You could:

  -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

  -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

  -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

• How to maintain the same State of the application after closure and reopen the app?

  Hello

  My problem is while accessing the request, if I close and reopen the application then the previous state of the application is at a loss.  Please help me to maintian the same State of the application after close and reopen the app means reopen after application, enforcement should be focused on the last viewed item and I used the browser component if I reopen the app, then content browser also be there under the previous state.

  Advanced thanks for any help.

  One proposed by Simon is 'Close' and that you save enough information to rebuild your Application in the State was restoring it when it is reopened.

  Alternately, instead of really close your application, you could just put it on the bottom using

  UiApplication.getUiApplication () .requestbackground ();

  Once in the background, when the user selects again your application it will start immediately and will be exactly as it was left.

  This does not, of course, runs through judgment or commissioning of treatment you could want, so, for example, will not store all resources you want to put away when you know that the user is going to use your app for a while.  To help with this, look at the Application.activate () and Application.deactivate () methods.

  I hope this helps.

• 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. "

• The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

  OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

  I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

  After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

  Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

  Nothing else was changed.

  I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

  Error again.

  I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

  Error again.

  1. status of /etc/init.d/VMware

  Loaded module Vmnet

  FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

  What now?

  I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

  Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

  You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

  Try reinstalling VMware Server.

  POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.

  Failed to initialize the virtual machine.

  End of the error message.

  I found several posts other people have this problem but

  they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem.  I found appeared

  to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for

  2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead.  Here is the link to the discussion

  Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.
