• Conversion of the virtual machines in VMWare Server 1.0.5 to vSphere Enterprise

  I have a couple of windows XP virtual machines running on VMWare Server 1.0.5.  Can someone point me to instructions for turning them into vSphere (ESXi 4)? The conversion occurs in the vCenter Server or with a separate program?  Thank you!

  VMware Converter, which is integrated with vCenter Server and the Client must be able to do this by directing it to the virtual VMware Server 1.0.5 computer files.  You just need to save the pluggin converter in the Client to use vCenter converter function.

• the conversion of the virtual machine version 7 to version 4?

  screenshot attached

  I use ESXi 4.0 on a 64-bit server.  Some of my virtual machines, there are 32-bit operating systems, so I would like to move to a 32-bit server I have laying around, make an ESXi 3.5 host and free resources on 64-bit hardware.

  When I created the virtual machines on 4.0, I (accidentally) got them as version 7 vms.  Because 3.5 does not support version 7, I can't migrate/clone them to 3.5 host.

  A way to solve this problem?

  It does not sense.  Using VMware Converter to V2V the customer will take care of decommissioning of the virtual hardware.

• Convert the physical Linux machine with VMware Converter Standalone 4.0.1 on VMware Workstation

  Hello

  I work in a virtualization project, now I test and I want to test the new version of the converter, because I need to convert some Linux machines and I know that with this version is not difficult.

  I do not have the ready virtual infrastructure so I test on a workstation environment. I would like to know if someone has converted a physical Linux machine to virtual and if the destination has VMware workstation 6.5. I know that this is not supported, but this does not mean that you couldn't do.

  When I have to specify the type of destination, I got the error that you could see on the photo.

  Please let me know if you have tested this before and you know how to solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon

  Malulas,

  Welcome to the Community Forums.

  To do a physical to virtual conversion, you MUST GO to ESX.  It is a requirement under the guidance of the user manual.

  If the virtual machine was already in ESX, you might be able to export to a workstation image while the ESX VM is powered off.

  Sorry for the bad news.

  Kind regards

• I have an error message of "can not question the source linux machine" when you do a P2V of a linux machine

  Hello

  I'm doing a P2V of a linux machine, but I get this error message.

  The system where you are running the Converter vCenter has active UAC? Have you tried to use the option "Run As Administrator" at the launch of the vCenter Converter? Have a look here for additional troubleshooting steps: VMware KB: when you do a conversion of Linux you receive the error: could not query the live source Linux computer

• corrupted virtual linux machine flight

  not sure if it's a matter of linux or vmware... but I'll post here first.

  at home I have free ESXi 5.1 running and a synology NAS with linux virtual machine. recently, power got accidentally turned off on the synology and the linux VM have some problems of corruption.

  they can start but not completely trying to unmount a volume to run fsck results in this particular target busy, so cannot run fsck on this target.

  is there a tool vmware as fsck that run on the virtual machine, while the virtual machine is powered down to solve the problems of corruption since I can't umount the volume I need trouble?

  Never mind. has been able to get networks part-time running on the virtual machine in maintenance mode and copied "testdisk" to the virtual machine. they are corrupt, but I was able to get a disk image of the two copied on my synology. config files and documents that I need are there and intact. had a recent backup but no worries now.

  then the devil to obtaining these VM to run I will install the new virtual machine.

• Virtual Linux machine shrinkage

  Morning guys, Happy New year!

  I have one machine virtual linux with vmware tools installed but I can't reduce the disk.  I tried to make the list of disk/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox-cmd and the cottage without mount points.  Then I also try to make a shrink disc / and I get unsupported mount point.

  Any ideas?

  In Linux VM I usually cut my virtual hard drives manually.  First of all, I'm about to shrink by zeroing on the free space on the guest operating systems files system and then the host use vmware-vdiskmanager to preform the shrink.  We consider that the VM has no snapshots.

  In the Linux guest operating system in a Terminal:

  cat /dev/zero > wipefile.tmp; sync; rm -f wipefile.tmp
  

  I used to do the command above as root or as applicable to precede with sudo.

  In addition, if the disk has several partitions, I for each partition.

  On the host in a Terminal, I then use vmware-vdiskmanager with the following syntax:

  vmware-vdiskmanager -k myDisk.vmdk
  

  Note that the free space on the disk was first handed to zero one can then use the VMware Fusion GUI Clean Up vs basic disk using vmware-vdiskmanager however I prefer to use the command line.

• Only use the Thunderbolt port in the virtual Windows machine

  Hello world!

  I'm running a Macbook pro with a Win OSX 7 VM to work - we are currently on a split network when you access WWW on Wifi and undertaken by Ethernet through the thunderbolt connection.

  When you plug the cable Thunderbolt in, it disables our Wifi (so that we can fill the Wifi and the access of the company)

  Is it not possible to set up the computer so that the Thunderbolt port is only seen in the virtual machine (Windows) and OSX using the wifi only?

  That would mean I could have two separate work stations, an OSX with WWW access and Windows with business access, which would be extremely useful?

  I lived the preferences, but as soon as I disable the Thunderbolt OSX port it disables it on Windows as well!

  Any help gratefully received!

  You can do all this, I do it all day long.

  On the Mac, the "top" of your list interface is considered to be the main route of access and the host will forward the traffic it is there until he can't, and he then tries other interfaces.

  So, just to pay for the order of Service so that your WiFi is at the top.

  Then you can use the merger to specify the Thunderbolt interface to fill in.

  This allows Windows to use the bolt of lightning, and the Mac continues to use the WiFi.

  You an also save the config in a 'location', which are accessible from the Apple menu to quickly switch between configs. (i.e. specific vs)

• Best practices running like a virtual Linux machine

  We are a boutique Wintel and decided to start looking to support Linux guests.  I have no real knowledge of linux and how it works as a guest operating system.  Are there recommended for installation, configuration and performance around Linux?

  I found a few documents (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/linux_install_config.pdf and http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi_performance_tuning.pdf), but wanted to get some opinions of real life.  I also know that's a broad question, but what is the typical Linux deployed VM in regarding resources.  Would be a 2vCPU be 4 GB of RAM by default good installation? I know most of the answers will be 'it depends', but I'm a real novice with linux all suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

  Our environment:

  vCenter4.0.0U1

  ESX4.0.0U1

  2 8 nodes on IBM x 3650 M2 Intel x 5570 (16 processors, logical and 128 GB of RAM by)

  Emulex HBA connection to a Hitachi USPV

  More information can be provided, if necessary

  Thanks again!

  I also propose to use distribution supported (just to get support is that something goes wrong) and always install the VMware Tools.

  Do not use VMI on 32 bit, cause in the future is removed.

  You will also find a lot of tuning, like this:

  http://www.fewt.com/2008/06/performance-tuning-VMware-Server-on.html

  But I saw no difference, so I suggest to keep things simple and just install the VMware Tools, use supported distro, do good design VM (minimum number of vCPU, good Mem,...)

  Also note that Linux usually use vRAM in an aggressive manner (compared to Windows 2003).

  So, if you use @ora32, this means that the connection between tcp/ip.

  If directory type sqlplus command, it will use IPC (interprocess communication). I understand?

• Virtual Linux machine alignment

  As we know, EMC Clariion SAN recommended alignment offset is 128 blocks (64K). We were lining up VMs Windows for a long time, but I just now who goes back and fixing of our older RHEL models must be perfectly aligned. I added a new disk and used gparted to copy the boot in sdb sbd1 = sda1 partition, by assigning DO NOT round in the nearest cylinder and leave 1 MB of previous free space (= 2048 offset, a multiple of 128/64). I then copied the other partitions, reinstalled grub, etc.. All boots & seems good. Common things. However, I notice that fdisk warns now "Partition 1 does not stop the cylinder limit." Is - it just the planned warning because it is not rounded on what he thinks are the cylinders and can therefore be ignored? Or am I missing a step necessary/logic in my approach? Thank you!

  Fdisk of default reasons by the cylinder in its output.

  If you align to 128, you are probably put an end to your partition in the middle of a cylinder. And the following will begin in the same cylinder, which gives the warning message (false).

  If you run fdisk with switch-u (eg. fidsk-lu / dev/sda) you will get instead of the output based on sectors, and you will see that the first partition ends at xxx sector while the other starts to sector xxx + 1.

  It is the most important.

  I asked about the scores coming in another thread without some answers, but I'm sure it's the right approach to align also those.

  My lines of kickstart, just to be perfect, as alignment guidelines are kind of these, inserted inside the % pre section:

  (/ start of the 100 M, then a PV of disk space remaining; empty lines are actually return commands fdisk...)

  1. Clear the mbr

• Multiple NICs on a virtual single linux machine

  It seems like it should be simple, but when I assign two adapters for a virtual machine linux simple, the virtual linux machine stops as soon as it finishes the set-up and the fact over and over again endlessly.   He made a clean shutdown, I look at the console, I see it start to stop all the services at the time wherever he gets all a started.

  It started as soon as I added a second network adapter, and the problem disappeared as soon as I removed the network card.

  What I'm trying to do, is to have a second network adapter on a separate network that I use to communicate with one another physical machine on my network using a static internal ip address.

  I have set up a separate virtual switch, which possesses the second network card are entrusted to him.   There is only a single guest that uses this adapter.    Does anyone have any ideas why this would cause CentOS5 keep close and restart constantly?

  Sorry, in my previous message, actually one-liner I wasn't very clear.

  I mean, what happens when you configure the virtual computer with a second NETWORK adapter, and then restart the virtual machine in Single-user Mode od recovery mode?

  Is the virtual machine responds the same way or not?

  The idea is to start the VM with less service so that it continues to run and you will be able to do research on the second NETWORK card

• ZPrint accident of process before starting the virtual machine

  I see the following messages in system.log everytime my Windows VM starts. These accidents zprint apparently never happened before today. There is no previous accident for zprint report. The messages below always repeat 3 times before other messages on VM, commissioning.

  09/02/15 21:20:33... Report of incidents ReportCrash [7538] advice for zprint processes [7537]

  09/02/15 21:20:33... ReportCrash [7538] error saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/zprint_2015-02-09-212033_...crash using uid: gid 0: 0, euid: egid 0: 0

  Extract from the report of crash:

  Exception type: EXC_ARITHMETIC (SIGFPE)

  Exception codes: EXC_I386_DIV (division by zero)

  Why the merger issues the command zprint? If she has always done so before, why is zprint now blocking?

  (If I run the terminal zprint command without specifying the name of the area it blocks the same way.)

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Some things that I did today that might be important:

  My Mac Pro locked up while I was running Firefox (open Youtube and Yahoo pages).  I pushed the power button / stop. The virtual Windows machine was running at the time.

  After restarting the Mac Pro, when I tried to start the virtual machine, I got the message: "... vmdk has one or more internal errors that cannot be repaired. The only option is to restore from a backup copy of this disk... »

  So I renamed the corrupt VM bundle, then drag-and - drop copied all of the virtual machine to a backup volume.

  When I started the virtual machine restored, I noticed the crash zprint above messages.

  Thank you!

  OS X 10.5.8, Fusion 3.1.4

  Fusion uses zprint to internal information of the kernel which are very difficult to obtain by other means.

  Given how long it has been since OS X 10.5.8 or Fusion 3.1.4 were changed, either something has been corrupted or something has changed in the system environment for that to happen early.  I can't find any other references to zprint triggering a SIGFPE anywhere else on the Internet...

  If you do not already done, I highly recommend running disk utility and check (and possibly repair) the disks of your host before doing anything else.

  See you soon,.
