• RT: Remote desktop says "cannot find a device suitable for C drive.

  Hello

  There is a french position on exactly the same topic, but I can't apply the solution given here.

  My problem is this: I have a remote, ready to work as a target RT Office. It has been verified for compatibility, the hard drive has been formatted to FAT32, it was found by my host and received a static ip address. I installed the software, I need (LabView RT 9.0) using MAX. Now, when I try to boot with the option 'start using software installed on your hard drive', all I get is the message

  "Cannot find a device suitable for C drive.

  I have reset the BIOS, tried to format the drive hard in the other format, uninstalled and reinstalled the software, tried to start the pc target without the USB, but nothing seems to work.

  You have ideas on what goes wrong?

  Thank you

  Samuel

  Have you tried changing the settings of the BIOS for the hard disk controller?

  There could be different modes available.

• Where are drivers of devices installed for the drives listed?

  If I install a graphics card, sound card, card network or other maps add-on, I need usually to also install a device driver. These device drivers are listed in the Panel-> uninstall a program. But when I use an external USB docking station to look at the contents of a SSD or HARD disk, the first time that the drive is mounted Windows automatically installs a driver for the reader. Where are the device drivers listed? There be a master list of installed device drivers. And are device drivers is read from the drive, Windows include a bucket of typical device drivers, or Windows will quickly find them via the Internet?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  All installed device drivers are stored in the system32/drivers folder and here are the generic driver. Windows Installer drivers automatically when you connect a new device, some devices require that you install drivers manually. In these cases, the manufacturer of the device contains a disk of software and instructions on installing the driver before plugging. You can also visit the link for more information below:

• PowerVault TL2000 library - tape drive that appears twice in Device Manager

  Just installed a new TL2000 on a Dell R630 server. HBA SAS 6 GB/s using. Windows 2008 R2. In Device Manager I see two "unknown medium changer" and two tape drives (IBM ULT3580-HH4). But in reality there is a library and a player.

  Windows has allocated an id different SCSI for each 'drive' and 'change '. Does anyone know why Windows detects two devices when there is only one?

  (see the screenshot of the attachment)

  Hello Martin,

  Cable how do you have coming from the back of the tape drive?  If you connected a SAS cable to the two ports at the rear of the car, then it's your problem because you need only the disk IDE oucederomsurlesecondport be wired at the time.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• What is the best way to move the node for virtual device to an IDE SCSI hard drive?

  I used PowerCLI on vSphere 5.0 5.5.

  I'm deploying VMDK that were created with a switch in Ghost from Symantec, which by default is the HDD to IDE interface.  How can I change the HD of IDE, SCSI using PowerCLI?

  We also seek to regenerate the VMDK with the correct setting in Ghost, but maybe it's not feasible.

  I looked at the post below, which seems close, but don't tell me how to change the Type as the disk ID number.

  Sort of put the virtual device node / drive SCSI ID?

  When I look at the vmdk on the host for the virtual machine, I can see that the ddb.adapterType field is set to "ide" and KB 1016192 - conversion of an IDE virtual disk to a virtual SCSI disk

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016192

  I need to have the value of "free", but I can't manually change the vmdk file.

  In addition, the hard drive has the VM operating system already installed on it, so I don't want to just remove it.

  Another related problem is that I can not put the type of SCSi LSI Logic SAS controller LSI Logic parallel (Windows VMs does not start if it has the value LSI Logic SAS). I just get an error "inconsistent backup specified for device 0.

  Appreciate any ideas.

  I thought that I would come back and update this post.  I got it works by changing a setting when I create the VMDK.

  I changed the way I created the VMDK via the Symantec ghost32.exe (version 11.5?) application by adding the following switch:

  -vmdkAdapter = free

  Ghost32-clone, mode = restoration, src = 'SRC %', dst = "% DEST" - vmdkAdapter free course =

  It worked for my Windows 2008 VMDK, don't know what he'll do for any other type.

  At the end of the day, I have never able to edit the VMX of PowerCLI file, although I got close enough.

  Regarding PowerCLI, I think I have corrupted files on the ESXi server and could never get around it. The steps were roughly as follows

  1. the Copy-DatastoreItem cmdlet to copy the file vm.vmx on the desktop of the local computer

  "2 use Get-Content to read file and change ddb.adapterType ="ide"with ddb.adapterType. =" free ".

  3. copy a ConvertTo-LinuxLineEnding cmdlet from the internet and remove CR/LF characters to the BYTE level; because nothing else has worked.  I still don't think it worked 100%.

  4 copy-DatastoreItem to copy the vmx file to the directory of the virtual machine.

  The vmx file has the correct setting and looks ok, but I think something is broken here, because when I use the VI Client to look at the data store, there are only 2 files in the directory. I don't know which more.

  5 remove-hard drive

  6 New-hard drive - vm $vmObj - diskpath "[datastoreName] vm/vm.vmdk", at this point, I get "the path of the specified disc is inaccessible or does not exist.  It is probably because I have damaged the structure of files on the data store.

  When I delete the virtual computer in the VI Client, I can remove it with success, but I have to manually delete the directory on the data store using skip
  Control data store.

• Sort of put the virtual device node / drive SCSI ID?

  Is it possible to define, through PowerCLI, the virtual device node / SCSI disk ID of a VM hard drive to the specific address?  We need to pin a high specific controllers virtual machine disks and disk IDs to ensure the consistency of multiple deployments.  Bring on the specific controller was easy, but I was not able to find a way to set the ID of the disk.

  Thank you!

  Hello, stromcooper-

  You can use the method ReconfigVM() to a VirtualMachine object to change this.  It is the property UnitNumber to the VirtualDisk and you create some context objects to make the change, such as:

  ## the VM on which to change a disk's SCSI ID$strVMToUpdate = "someVM"## get the VM$vmToUpdate = Get-VM $strVMToUpdate## get the hard disk to change; assumes it is called "Hard disk 2" here$hdskToChange = Get-HardDisk -VM $vmToUpdate -Name "Hard disk 2"
  
  ## create a new VirtualMachineConfigSpec, with which to make the change to the VM's disk$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec## create a new VirtualDeviceConfigSpec$spec.deviceChange = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec$spec.deviceChange[0].operation = "edit"## populate the "device" property with the existing info from the hard disk to change$spec.deviceChange[0].device = $hdskToChange.ExtensionData## then, change the second part of the SCSI ID (the UnitNumber)$spec.deviceChange[0].device.unitNumber = 8## reconfig the VM with the updated ConfigSpec (VM must be powered off)$vmToUpdate.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
  

  The line where it is implemented. .unitNumber to '8' is where you would put your ID desired.  This piece of code maintains the VirtualDisk on the same SCSI controller on which it is already located.  Note: the virtual computer must be turned off for the task to reconfigure.

  How does do for you?

• Through host SCSI tape drive to the virtual computer with the backup software installed in the comments

  Can I attach an external SCSI tape drive to one of my hosts, and then add it as a device in a virtual machine.

  I want to use backup exec on a virtual machine, rather than having to have a separate physical server to attach the tape drive. I realize that I wouln't be able to vmotion the guest but as its only going to be a backup machine I am happy with that.

  Thanks in advance,

  Yes is possible.

  I have a Dell TL2000 with a dedicated SAS card and it works (not faster than in a real environment, but works).

  You add the SCSI ID of the tape (and the library, if any) to the virtual machine.

  Or, if your hardware can he take charge, using VMDirectPath and give the card on the virtual computer.

• Support ESXi 5.0 host FC connected tape drives in the virtual machine running symantec backup exec 2012

  Dear Experts,

  We recently purchased C0H19A: StoreEver HP 1/8 G2 6 - LTO Ultrium 6250 CF TapeAutoloader. The purpose is to backup of VMS data, I mean selected data in virtual machines, as for the exchange of data bases email for server accounts database SQL server etc.. We have a full VM backup plan, so using symantec backup exec software.

  We have this configuration:

  -TWO DL 380 Gen8 servers (running UPDATE2 Esxi 5.0), both servers have not all SCSI ports

  -One SINGLE HP P2000 G2 MSA FC Dual Cntrl storage

  -TWO HP SN6000 12 - pt Windows Pwr FC switch

  -HP ADF

  All them above are related to the CF. Symantec backup exec 2012 is also installed on Windows 2008 R2, which is a virtual machine.

  But now, we are unable to see the tape library autoloader through the virtualization layer in the device of machine Manager virtual backup exec. Reading on internet, I also found some details that connected FC tape drives are not supported by the Esxi hosts. We are really stuck in this situation, all the solutions to this. I also read the article from vmware saying configuration for Esxi 4.0 FC tape drives and later versions

  Installation of a physical server windows with Backup Exec 2012 and HBA and connected to above switches FC is the only way to see the ADF? Even after reading articles on the internet, I'm not clear, please guide what solution I have now to get this thing going, I really need to find solution to this.

  Waiting for answers.

  Kind regards

  Hello, I'm a Backup Exec support engineer and yes the method supported is only by connecting the tape drive to a server of physical media.

• How to connect the SCSI tape drive to comments

  New user of VMWare here - I like it so far.  In any case, I have a LTO3 SCSI drive, I would like to use with one of our virtual machines running on our host ESXi 4.1.  I installed a LSI 53 c 1030 SCSI HBA, appearing on the HW compatibility list.  The drive is an HP Ultrium 920 LTO3.  I use BackupExec 12.5 x 64 on the VM (Win2K8 R2 x 64).

  I can't find clear instructions for setting this up in ESXi.  Nothing in the implementation or the Config Guide.  I'm not if I use passthrough or without passthrough, etc..  Can someone tell me the good documentation on how to get this set up and work or by post simple steps to get the virtual machine, see the HBA/drive?

  TIA

  Hello

  If you had plugged the band to the HBA and then restarted the server, you can go to your virtual machine, and then change the settings and in the Hardware tab, add hardware.

  Go to SCSI devices and add the tape to the virtual machine.

  In other words, if your hardware supports, enable passthrough for the host HBA, in configuration, settings in advance.

  Then reboot and go to the settings of the virtual machine, adding hardware and click on PCI device, add the HBA to this virtual machine.

• Virtual device SystemControlSet Format of the driver in the registry is invalid

  I am running Windows XP sp3, not interested in Windows 7 on this computer, I am trying to install a scanner Agfa Arcus II venerable (still today considered as one of the best for publication).  PC drivers are available from Agfa and downloaded as FotoLook for PC, however...

  When I try to run the driver Agfa Arcus II, she prays for a disc I don't have (I have mac verson drive) I think it may contain some "Agfa FotoLook", I found the download of Agfa Fotolook but before installing I was marked "SystemControlSet Virtual device driver in Registry Format is close the invalid program.

  Now I wonder? If someone has an idea, I would be very grateful for the thought.

  Thank you, Robert.

  The problem is new and may have a lot to do with my SCSI card and the communication between my computer and my Agfa Arcus II.  One problem was the drivers, but I was recommended to install ViewScan for Agfa Arcus II as he aged drivers superceeds of own Agfa and digitization program and everything works.

  I'm now having a go at installing one of the recommended SCSI cards, can I ask ISA and EISA? My motherboard is a GA of Gygabyte old-SINXP1394(GA-8SQ800 Ultra2),
  http://EE.gigabyte.com/products/page/MB/GA-sinxp1394ga-8sq800_ultra2/specs/

  Bios specifications are:

  1. 2 x 2 M bit memory ROM flash, improved the ACPI functionality to compliance PC98/Win98/Win2000/me/CE/XP, Green, PnP, DMI, INT13 (> 8.4 GB) and functions of Kaspersky Anti-virus
  2. IDE 1 # ~ #2 SCSI, LS120, ZIP and bootable CD-ROM
  3. 2 x 2 Mbit flash ROM

  The recommended SCSI card is an Adaptec AHA AHA AHA 1540 1520 1522 or 1542 for PCs ISA and 1742 or 2742 for PC EISA

  You are able to tell from the photograph and the plug on this link if it's an ISA or EISA card please?

• is scsi is also used inside computers for hard drives or just external connector?

  Hello

  I would like to know if the scsi as SATA connection was also used inside computers or he external connection only.

  If used inside computers, this means that there is a special relationship such as a SATA or EIDE! If Yes, what is the name of this connector is coonector scsi?

  Johan

  Hello Johan,.

  Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

  Small computer system interface (SCSI) is a set of standards to connect and transfer data between computers and devices physically.

  The SCSI standards define commands, protocols, and electrical and optical interfaces. SCSI is most often used for hard disks and tape drives.

  A SCSI connector is used to connect computer parts that use a system called SCSI to communicate between them. Generally, the two connectors, designated male and female, plug together to form a connection that allows two components, such as a computer and a disk drive, communicate with each other

• Virtual device driver

  I work in a nonprofit, and recently a laptop was passed down to me.  It was better than what I had so I moved all my info and programs above and installed my printer.  I had no problem for a few days.  My laptop has some financial information about it so I do not use it on the internet - to keep the news of peoples against theft.  One day, I tried to print and I received an error message on the memory.  I did a scan and now it complains of a virtual device driver.  I have uninstall avg2013.  In one of the other forums, he said that this may.  I have windows 7 32 bit and my printer (I love and you use every day) is an Okidata C5500.  Someone please help or I have to go back to my old computer which is XP.

  Hi all

  Can we backup RMAN database using 2 drives at the same time by setting OB_DEVICE?

  In case of increase the performance of backup on 2 tape drives?

  I know that the possibility to use OB_DEVICE_1 and OB_DEVICE_2 to specify the number of copy of backups in duplex.
  

  But what I want is to run backup on disk 2 of databases for a single copy!

  Your response is much more appreciate.
