• Cannot convert a virtual machine while it is powere on or suspended. Shut down and power off the virtual machine before the conversion.

  Hi all

  I am currently using preinstalled VMware 7.1 and I try to import a virtual machine, I used to work on my windows XP. Recently, I am using windows VISTA and I am trying to import my VM (.vmx) and I get this error "cannot convert a virtual machine, although it is powere on or suspended. "Shut down and power off the virtual machine before the conversion.

  This virtual machine worked very well under windows XP and VMware 6.5, but now I am not able to import it. Please suggest how I can make this virtual machine running in my VISTA and vmware 7.1.

  I am also attaching the converter file logs and .vmx vmware.

  Thank you...

  Is there a problem with this backup?

  It is possible. How big is she?

• I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

  Transfer of license with a twist

  So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

  Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.

  If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone.  Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315

  If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows.  Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.

• Converter allows to convert a physical computer to Vista 64-bit?

  I tried to convert a virtual machine Vista64 but it requires the installation of vista disc, when trying to runt of the VM in VMPlayer.  This raised the question if the converter can create a Vista 32 or 64-bit VM.  Does anyone have information on this?

  If when you say "Create a virtual machine in Vista 64" you mean using the converter to make the machine virtual, then running as VM on the machine that you have used the converter on, Yes, you will still need.  Whatever you have the virtual machine running on the same box it has been virtualized, he sees more than the physical hardware.  You have actually taken this machine through a box of physics with brand x and chipset motherboard and have now run on VMware virtual hardware with a different chipset.  He will not have to load drivers for his first start.

• Windows Vista on HP recovery, my current vista said that it isn't legal (it's that came with the computer)

  I intend to recover windows vista on my HP Pavilion DV4 - 1400. For some reason any my current vista said that it isn't legal (it's that came with the computer) I have not changed the operating system. My key of vista down my computer is damaged. If I perform my vista recovery provided with the recovery drive, this will solve the problem? The recovery process will be asking for a cd key, because as I said above that on my laptop is damaged.

  Hello

  with HP, you press F11 on startup to start the recovery process

  and it shouldn't have an entry of your share product key

• I tried to convert a virtual disk in Extensible with vmware-vdiskmanager, but an error...

  Hello

  I tried to convert a virtual disk in Extensible with vmware-vdiskmanager, but an error...

  

  ' Could not convert the drive: the system cannot find the specified file < 0 x 1900000004 >. '

  No idea what lack us.

  I read a few threads on this subject and they say to delete all snapshots. Don't have any as soon as I used the vmrun program to list all snapshots for this virtual machine and it returned 0.

  can someone help me with this?

  Thanks in advance,

  Rui

  It seems that there is typo in the file extensions of the virtual disk, i.e. '.vdmk' instead of 'hard '!

• I want to just convert a virtual computer model... and I owe the clone to the model?

  can you just convert a VM directly to a model? I'm used to using the windows client, I carefully use the webclient service because VMware forces my hand. I hate it.

  I want just to convert a virtual machine in a model. I don't see this option. I see an option to CLONE to a template, but I don't want a clone. I don't want 2 copies. IT seems that it is perhaps the only option with the web client? Am I missing something? And then to turn back, I copy the model to model or something? At VMware really derailed this much?

  Client Windows worked fine. Customer Web is painful.

  Yes, you can convert a virtual machine to a model using the Web Client. See the attached screen photographed... where is the option for her.

  

• Convert a virtual machine to a model

  Dear team,

  Need to know the conversion from a virtual computer to a model substantially fater than to create a clone of the VM.what will be the reason.

  Concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Convert a virtual machine to a model basically only renames the .vmx in .vmtx configuration file. A clone of the other side copy the VM that requires certainly a lot more time to complete.

• PowerShell - how to convert a virtual machine model

  Now that the copy of a model works, I would like to convert this model in VM.

  with the powershell command, I use.

  Thank you for help

  As RyanMcL , using the Get-View methods and API will go faster, especially if you have more models to convert to virtual machines.

  But since denjoh44 is eager to convert an existing in VM model, you don't want to use the MarkAsVirtualMachine() of an object VirtualMachine (not the MarkAsTemplate() method).  It's a little more complicated, because the method requires a ResourcePool MoRef in which place the machine virtual result.

  And if you have really been focused on speed, you probably want to use the - Property parameter on the Get-View call, to only return the minimum number of properties.  This maximizes the speed and minimizes the use of memory (avoiding an OutOfMemoryException).

  Another thing to keep in mind is how you use the - Filter parameter on the call in the opinion of the GET.  The value you specify it is used as a regular expression pattern.  So, by using something like @{"Name" = 'vmname1'} must return the view object for the machine named "vmname1", but also returns "vmname10", "vmname1314", "vmname1other", etc.

  So, it would be preferable to specify anchor characters only happen exactly the machine you want, like @{"Name" = "^ vmname1$"}.

  Collect these things would result in something like:

  ## get the View obj of the Resource Pool into which to place the VirtualMachine#    (put your own cluster name in this line)$viewMyResPool = Get-View -ViewType ResourcePool -Property Name -SearchRoot (Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -Property Name -Filter @{"Name" = "^myCluster$"}).MoRef
  
  ## get the View obj of the given template (put your own template name in this line)$viewTemplate = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name -Filter @{"Name" = "^myTemplate$"}## convert the template to a VM, in the given ResourcePool$viewTemplate.MarkAsVirtualMachine($viewMyResPool.MoRef, $null)
  

  So, a little more upfront work to write it, but if you have a large number of models to convert VM, it is probably worth the time.

• You can convert a virtual server on a single machine in VMware Server on another computer using ESXi?

  Here is my scenario:

  Machine 1

  Server5 - host VMware Server 1.0.6 version

  Is within Server5 Server6 running on VMware Server & Server7

  Machine 2

  Created an ESXi Server

  I want to one Server11 newly created on the ESXi machine be Server7.

  All machines are running MS Server 2003 R2 SP2

  I tried using the conversion tool and get an error message "actively denied connection to the target computer.  I tried all the possible scenarios regarding the installation of conversion on each machine tool.  I made sure that telnet runs on both machines.  I found little or no information on this error message on the VMware site.  Is there a better way to convert this virtual machine that use the conversion tool?  It sounds simple enough, but I'm obviously missing something.  Thanks in advance.

  Stand-alone installation of converter on the host that is running Server 1.0.6.  http://www.VMware.com/download/converter/

  Turning off 6 Server and Server 7.

  In the first step of the Converter Wizard, select the option for an engine off the coast of the virtual machine.  This should allow you to select the VMX file using a button 'Browse '.

  Kind regards

• Qosmio F30-112: cannot install Virtual Sound for Vista

  Installed Windows Vista, downloaded sigma drivers audio version 6.10.5462.0 and installed them, then I tried to install Virtual Sound and got the message "Toshiba Virtual Sound can't stand your computer." Where is the problem?

  Hello

  Are you sure that the usefulness of virtual sound is supported on this laptop?
  Form where you downloaded the utility?

  The Qosmio G30-112 belongs to the series of PQF30E. You must install the drivers for this series of the European driver Toshiba page!

  I checked the Toshiba page and the virtual sound for this camera has a 10317version.

• Virtual Box: Windows Vista SPK 2 do not install Visual Studio 2010 SPK1

  Using Virtual Box in my Mac OS X Lion Mountain.

  I have pretty much Windows Vista to date for SPK2 in Virtual Box.

  Try to install Visual Studio 2010 SDK, but I get an error (I forgot what it was because I am at school right now typing this) saying that a component is first necessary or something Visual Studio 2010 is first needed.

  But as I understand it, it's that should not install Visual Studio 2010 perfectly in Windows Vista SPK2?

  All the system requirements are met. What else do I need first before installing VS 2010?

• Convert computer virtual Hyper-V on ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  I'll be using vCenter Converter Enterprise 4.2.1 to convert a few Hyper-V virtual machines to ESXi 4.1. Converter

  has an option for Hyper-V and see the virtual machine. These convert motor on or off? Any gotcha in this process?

  You convert Hyper v (2008) or Hyper-V 2.0 (2008 R2).  If you use Hyper-V (2008) then you want to remove your integration components before the conversion.  Depending on your operating system, you may need to change your network driver.  The only other requirements is to go into your virtual machine once converted and remove all ghost devices in DevMgr.  You can do that by typing the following in a command prompt form:

  Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
  Start devmgmt.msc

  Go to the file menu, expand the view and select Show hidden devices.

  Good luck.  Ive done much P2Vs of Hyper-V with great success.
