• Can't access file system host (MAC) shared in VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client when wanting to create a VMware image (Windows 7 in Parallels virtual machine running on a MAC) for the option of machine Powered On.

  File HOST (Mac) system is currently shared in the Parallels virtual machine and is accessible through Windows Explorer and works correctly in the Virtual Machine environment, however, after installing vCenter Converter application on the Windows virtual machine these shared folders are not accessible from the conversion tool in the selection of the target destination of the file VMware (s). I can't select an existing folder on drive "C:" to write the image so that there is not enough space available for the VMware image and it must be written in a different file system, while the image is being created.

  Anyone know a way around it to show the target to write the image on the host (MAC OS) file system or is it a bug?

  Thanks for the reply.  It seems that the maps are not displayed if they were created as actions by the hosts.  When I created a mapping directly from Windows, then this mapping appeared and the conversion worked fine.

• ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine

  For pure and for training automatic tests, I installed VMware ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine inside a VMware ESXi 5.0 host (physical).

  How can I configure the network interface to allow the VM ESXi?

  Is there a best practices document to configure VMware ESXi as a virtual machine?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Basically, all you have to do is to allow mode promiscuity on vSwitch physical hosts, which you connect virtual ESXi hosts. Make sure that virtual ESXi hosts are configured with the virtual "E1000" NETWORK card adapters

  For other settings, please take a look at Execution nested VMs

• Can I remote in virtual machines directly?

  I run vmware player on windows 7 and have a few virtual machines from CentOS 6 for Windows Server 2008.  I know that I can access virtual machines by remote access in the host operating system, but it's kind of messy.  I can remote directly in virtual machines? I know I would probably mess with some network settings to make it work, but before that I just want to know if it CAN be done with virtual machines running on VMware player or if I need another (non-free) version or what.

  Thank you

  Access to a Virtual Machine, everywhere, is not fundamentally different, then access to a physical Machine act accordingly and correctly configure makes directly accessed remotely if you want.  The value of the Bridged network adapter, set up your router correctly to the packages before him and you're in business.  It can also be done with the virtual machine Network Adapter the value NAT however this technique requires additional configuration and another layer of process so the bridged configuration and physical router configuration is easier and more direct.

• Can I register the Virtual Machine of VMware player esxi 4 4.1?

  Hi all

  There are a few virtual machines running in VMware player version 4, now I need to migrate on ESXi 4.1...

  It's Possible he just copy and past the files of virtual machines running in vmware player in the data store then register the same in the esxi server and power on... This will not work?

  because I do not V2V method...

  With respect,

  Pascale Vimal

  You run the virtual machine on HW 8, that you will not be able to simply move the ESXi machine.

• How can I register a virtual machine in the command line?

  I want to automate the registration of virtual machines in my VMWare Fusion.

  I have the vmx file. I can do this by using the command line?

  If not, how can I do it automatically?

  Thanks in advance.

  There are two main methods you can interact with the Virtual Machines outside user of VMware Fusion, the VIX API and vmrun interface and with the registration of these two commands are not supported with VMware Fusion (or VMware Workstation.* (* Non-exclussive VM)}.)  Recording controls are used primarily with vSphere.  VMware Server also supported recording orders.

  BTW, from a Machine virtual Finder by double-clicking on the file of configuration of Machine virtual package or .vmx if it is already running and is not created through the interface user of VMware Fusion, for example created in VMware Workstation VM and copied on a Mac, created manually or via a script solution.  Although she will then have to be manually recorded.  Registered/not registered in this context the Virtual Machine appears in the library of virtual machines VMware Fusion.

• All virtual machines running on ESXi 5.1 statement of Rx packet loss

  Can some of you please do me a favor? Find a virtual machine of yours running on ESXi 5.1, preferably 1117900 and let me know if you see a Rx packet loss in performance stats vCenter provides. Each single VM in my environment records packet loss. Virtual machines running on ESXi 5.0 are not related that at all.

• Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

  Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

  Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
  error

  1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

     lsof | grep

     COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
     71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

     Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

     Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

     kill the 3631

     After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

     CD/tmp
     VM-support - x

     Available to debug worlds:
     WID =

     On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

     VM-support - X

     Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

     Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

     After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

  The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
  Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

  Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

  You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
  I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• How the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines as well as the internet should work on a virtual machine

  Hi team,

  I ask that you forgive for asking a silly question without doing a free search.

  I'm using VMware workstation 6.5. I am able to communicate with both machines by selecting 'only option of home. "

  Is there a way by which the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines.

  At the same time through the VMS, is it possible to access the Internet from the physical amchine.

  Help, please.

  When you use a bridged vNIC the customer acts as any other host, so that you can access is by his IP (or name if a DNS configuration exists as you acceding to any other host.) What tools you can use depends on the guest operating system and the software available.

  I assume you mean access deskopt. Then you can use RDP (Windows Terminal services) or VNC (tight/tiny).

  For Linux, you can use this last or all the flavors of SSH. In the case of Linux, I use VNC through SSH tunnel. You can also tunnel X through SSH, so if you have an X server on another host (such as the Hummingbird for Windows), you can open your own office remotely there.

• You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

  I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

  Hi Letstub,

  There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:

• ESXi on SD card and virtual machines on a NAS raid-6, performance?

  Hello!

  I'm planning an ESXi with HP Proliant DL380 G6 environment, which I already have.

  The server has an internal port SD card and according to this article , it is supported to run ESXi from an internal SD card.

  1ST QUARTER

  Someone hwo as tried this, what of the downside to this, except the redundancy on the SD card. I had a hard time finding comments on this

  Q2

  I intend to run virtual machines on a NAS via iSCSI, (thecus N8800, have another thread on the subject to know if it would work or not here)

  With this config I don't need any HD in the DL380.

  However, I do not know if a good high-performance NAS is good enough for my VMs and if maybe I need to run the OS on internal disks with higher performance.

  First of all, my plan was to run the OS partitions on a raid with internal 10 k SAS drives. And have all the data on the NAS partitions.

  But since I'm the new implementation of ESXi on SD or USB I think about the ability to run the DL380 without HD

  But, as noted above, is it possible that there is performance enough for that.

  Having in mind that my environment is and will be VERY LOW, we speak up seven windows server 2008 and totally 150 users.

  But I still haven't any idea if theres a chance that my 7 virtual machines running windows server 2008 will be capped at a lot by running NAS. The Nas will take place with eight 7.2 k RPM Sata disks, they are high of preforming sata drives, but not yet a SCSI raid. I have the ability to run a raid 10 on it instead of 6 and I will consider and try how much better performance, he gives me. 1 TB sata drives are 70% less expensive than the 300 GB 2.5 '' SAS 10 k disks.

  Yes, there is a good reason THAT SATA is less expensive than SAS.  SATA drives do not have the same command line than to use SAS drives, more the bottom of basket on SATA relies on the CPU, SAS can unload it on DEMAND.  The discs themselves seem to be competitive, but they are a far cry from the performance of SAS/SCSI, you get good performance until you start to make the e/s simultaneous sessions and hit heavily then you'll start to see performance degrades

  If do you some tests and that you are happy with it, still great.  I really hope it works well.  RAID 10 can be a good idea with SATA, which can help to compensate for this loss of performance.

  The PIN number is the best way to get the best performance, the physical drives of player throw you into a RAID of any kind the better you will be.

  Seagate Barracuda ES. 2-1 TB - 3.5 "- SATA-300 - 7200 tours min - lunch: 32 MB"

  vs SAS 15 K (that's 2 x the IOPS/sec)
