Cold Clone CD - need to test networks
Support can be added for the purpose of testing to make sure that you can test something on the network, or something to test the configuration of the network? It's hard to tell which network ports are connected and if the network and if there are multiple network cards on the server which one is connected. It would be OK to add a command prompt from ipconfig/all and do pings or any other method via the GUI tool company to do the same.
You can get a guest via Mozilla cmd - click Open and select X:\i386\cmd.exe.
Or - just use a best handmade cold-clone - this has been discussed several times.

Cold Clone 4.03 converter - is no longer a connectivity - used to work
I have a Dell Server physical - 1950. I used 4.03 Converter Enterprise (after adding the Perc driver) cold Clone is several times, even just two weeks ago. It works without any problem. Sometimes I clone this box for backup reasons because I'm not yet ready to move to VMware still.
In any case. Today using the same exact CD start at 4.03 Converter Enterprise I no longer get my DHCP address. The Converter CD says "no network connection available. It seems that although I do not know how to test it on that physical server using the clone boot CD there is no connectivity. I also tried to manually set the IP address, but it will not yet communicate. At least I can not ping the address of another computer. The converter program displays my Broadcom adapter to network with the exact model number.
If I boot Windows Server (which uses the same IP address), the server works fine. If no outside don't switch issues etc.
NOTHING physical changed in my environment. The only thing I did was use the Dell Open manage DVD to update server firmware. I was a little bit outdated good, but complete Dell update program fine. I checked it and the firmware is up-to-date. Also when I'm trying to clone, I use the boot CD get cold, then any software side server should not be a problem (well, I guess?).
Thanks for the help.

Strange question.
But maybe the driver on the boot CD is too old (related to the barrette microcode).
Have you tried to use an updated driver?

Clone from a free template network
Hello
I want to create a new workflow that perform the following tasks:
1 clone from a model (no network card is connected to the model)
2, add a new network adapter to the virtual machine
3. run sysprep (config network card, add to the domain etc.)
I find the workflow dealing with cloning, but each of them begins with information on the network adapter for the model.
For this purpose, when I try to use these workflow, I get the message: Fault.NicSettingMismatch.Summary
Y at - it of the other workflow that I use to accomplish my task?
Thank you!
Hello
Indeed, the library workflow expect the model to have at least a network card configured.
You can change the template? (which might be the easiest way to go :-))
You can also:
Create a new workflow that clones just the virtual machine, but do not customization (there could be some in the library), I hope, it works without network card on the template.
To add the network use onyx to understand what logic of javascript is needed (not sure if there is a "workflow" that in the library)
Check the workflow (s) 'Custom VM' in the library for parts of sysprep (at this time, that the created virtual machine must have a network)
Kind regards

Where can I find the cold Clone CD?
It was my understanding that if you have an Enterprise Plus for ESX license, the cold clone CD is available with converter, but I'm not in converter downloads.
Let's do some P2Vs soon and I would like to have the CD handy, just in case we need.
Can someone indicate its secret location?
Thank you!

Choice between warm and cold Clone?
Is there any particular scenario we need a cold Clone instead of a Clone of hot?
A hot Clone will not be corrupt / modify all the data on the physical machine?
Thank you
A hot clone can update the changes made during the conversion - at least if cloning hot I would like to disable services that cause a writing heal the conversion such as SQL or Exchange.

Hello guys,.
We have a vSphere 4 with four v4u2 of ESX servers. The network is composed of 3 vSwitches that are configured on each ESX Server. Two of them are configured with the VLAN ID and the other without VLAN ID. The uplinks are connected to a Cisco switch that is configured to allow the ports (trunk) the VLAN on the uplink of the skeleton.
Now, to the question:
We need to set up a test network environment without changing any of the above, next to add software configurations. The main idea is to use VMs restored from backups who "think" they are in a real environment and communicate with each other using their original IPs, but in any case, they are not allowed to talk to the real outside world VM.
At first, I tried to create a "private" network, but now I realize that it only works if the virtual machines are on the same ESX Server. I can force the vCenter to start on the same ESX with manual DRS, but I wish that this configuration to work between all the ESXes.
I thought that setting up a new network with a new VLAN ID on the switch, but I don't know if it will be isolated...
Is it possible, and if the answer is Yes, how can I set up on the ESXes and on the Cisco switch?
All of the responces are appreciated.
Kind regards
Leonid
You only have to add the new portgroup (with the right VLAN ID) on the vSwitch with existing VLANs and to create the new VLAN ID.

Problem with: Clone, windows with a single NETWORK adapter
Hello
I have some bad problems while trying to use the following workflow: 'Clone, windows with a single NETWORK card. I always get the following error message: "task"CloneVM_Task"error: a specified parameter was not correct. "
"Spec.Identity.Password.Value (name of the dynamic Script Module: vim3WaitTaskEnd #20).
So I guess I have a problem with a password but I don't know what password, I give for the input parameter "channel passwork. It is encrypted if the indicator planText partner is false"I do not understand what password I would give here because I do not give any account of domain user.
Is there anyone who has already used this workflow and can give me some advice on how to use it properly?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
If I remember correctly, that's your administrator password local if it has been defined or the new password set if the model is no password defined. But then I did years ago doublecheck Yes.

I think the problem is that the converter (WinPE) cannot resolve the ESX host name:
2010-11-24 20:24:02.515 "P2V" error 772] task failed: P2VError FILE_OPEN_FAILED(vpxa-nfc://[MD3200i] TEC/TEC.vmdk@esx01:902!52 1d 20 5d 1a 85 3f 7b-83 0d 1f 12 db 7d e9 8a)
So, how do I cold can clone a physical Machine without DNS?
Any ideas?
Big names HB
Hello
You can try some of the following ways:
(1) add the entrance to host your DNS server or a DNS temp and then go for setting manual ip set dns temp
(2) use the IP address to be converted as suggested above
(3) perform a hot migration where the host can be added to the host file where the converter is running.

Conversion from cold clone process in VMware Workstation
Hello
We would like to convert a Unix physical in our branch abroad using process cold clone with VMware Converter.
In this industry, there is no ESX, so we will try to convert it to VMware Workstation.
Can transfer us files from computer virtual via ssh we and configure a virtual machine on our ESX.
The coldclone VMware is just a Windows Server bootable CD with VMware converter installed so it will convert into a virtual Workstation 3 machine. The major issues will be if she recognizes the installed physical devices (disk controller, NIC) If you are on a SUN server. If you like I want to practice so that you know what questions you have material. You can also use things like Ghost or Acronis or, possibly, Vizioncore vConverter.
