CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system error

Running VMPlayer 3.1.3 version 324285 build on Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit with 8G of memory.

When I try to install some VMs based on Linux of ISOs, in a few seconds, I get the error:

"The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You must turn off or reset the virtual machine at this point. »

(See also the screenshot attached)

This happens on other ISOs based on Linux/Windows. I googled the web & VMTN, but have not found relevant

answer my question.

Thanks in advance

Hello

What operating system is tryining install you?

Take a minute to watch in VMware Compatibility Guide: search guest conductor /and try to upgrade to a version 3.1.4 If your system does not support the direct execution of 64-bit.

  • CPU pegged at 100% in the guest operating system

    Hi all

    New to this forum, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. Note that I'm not our VMware admin, but rather, I have a server I have to admin that has been converted to VM via the P V. apparently process, our group has converted nearly 50 PMs successfully and of course one of mine is the only one who has a problem now. We have a custom application that has been developed to synchronize data between ESRI GIS and databases SAP. The code is about 7 years old and runs on a version of Oracle (9.2) and is Java based, both on the same vintage. It is not possible to upgrade by the creator going out of business and not having is not the source code. I ask this to understand that the problem is probably with the programming, but thought it was worth it.

    Anyway, one of our guard batch process fail with a Java out of memory error on the virtual machine. It works well on the PM. A consultant ran the diagnosis with a Profiler memory on the virtual machine and concluded that the program never went beyond 256 MB and we have 1 GB allocated to the guest. We now consider the CPU issues. The only other thing we know is different is a matter of hyperthreading (HT). The PM is certainly HT'd (1 physical CPU showing that 2) and it does not appear that this setting met on the virtual machine. When you run the package on the PM, we see 2 CPUs in the Task Manager, and neither hits 100% for more than a few seconds for the whole process. On the virtual machine, we see a flatlined CPU and it is 100% most of the time until it fails about 15 min in.

    The sysinfo on the virtual machine shows a 2400 MHz CPU, while the PM shows (2) 3400 MHz CPU (due to HT). I checked all my other virtual machines, and they are all 'show' 2400 MHz, so this must be a virtual standard machine type? I think that the virtual computer guest has access to the CPU ramp according to the needs, but then I'm not clear why the task manager would show that he attached the entire lot? It is likely that task manager prompt indicates whether flatlined to 100% of a 2400 Mhz CPU, even if she isn't really the most? If this is really the most, our admin should not be able to increase the dedicated CPU (I looked at the console with him and did not see an obvious option for this)? Is it possible to enable hyperthreading on the * comments * OS to mimic what has had on the PM? We cannot add another CPU to the guest due to licensing issues. Oh yes, the guest operating system is windows server 2003 and VMware ESXI 4.1 server. Thank you very much!

    G

    The speed of the CPU that you see is the speed of the physical processor in ESXi hosts. You cannot increase this speed, however - licensing - usually, you can assign two vCPUs, virtual machine as a dual CPU core instead of 2 processors. This option has been added to ESXi 4.1. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010184 for more details.

    What you need to do is to set the number of processors to 2 and add the advanced parameter cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2.

  • The task manager has been disabled by the administrator. Is there a quick fix?

    Using Widows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3

    Fast enough

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, since it has no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and only
    really does not tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

  • Avoid checking "the guest operating system has locked the door of CD-ROM. disconnect anyway and replace the lock?

    Using PowerCLI, I'm trying to create a script that logs off the CD player and affects the client machine and Passthrough IDE using the command:

  • Performance problem with the guest operating system

    Hello gurus - I have one of the most unusual questions, I ran into a few time.   Here it is:

    I have a guest w2008R2 OS - installed in a 5.1 version of VM 7 vSpherer - which has an Emulex LPe 12002-E 8 GB dual HBA port is assigned to the as 2 PCI (1 device per port) via DirectPath devices

    The guest operating system has an application that performs backup tests.   WWPN of the HBA is zoned in the fabric and declared in the interface of Compellent Storage Center and everything is good here. the application creates a replay of a volume, mount it as a drive, read all the blocks, then dismantles and moves then repeat the process with what ever additional volumes should be safeguarded.   It is so cool I have do this with a VM right and not a physical host?  (would be cool if I had work NPIV but that's another story, not with technology HBA vendor support...)

    So, what's the problem?   Well, the bed the mounted disk backup will work extremely slow as slow as 5MB\sec flow, then during any other activity takes place on the system the flow jumps up to 150MB\sec all of a sudden and will continue to run fast for a long time and finish jobs on time with each work taking a little more than an hour.  But when the slow going the same work (all jobs are the same, they are simply by reading all the blocks of a bunch of 200 GB volumes and wrote a set of NULL value, do not forget this is just test) takes up to 10 hours to complete.

    I think that what is the culprit?   POWER MANAGEMENT.

    I have just about each performance counter and the journal of events known to man and I don't see anything abnormal on the table, ESXi virtual machine, nothing.  But what I see in the newspapers is any kind of activity that could happen in a transparent manner to save energy.

    FACTS on this case:

    -Reservation of memory is defined (it must be for directpath otherwise, you can't power on the virtual machine)

    -Booking CPU - has not been defined before an hour ago, I gave her just a small reserve for this rule, so I do not know if this will help alleviate the slow flow, or have an effect on what I think is a question of power (unit linked) management

    -windows power management is set to high performance never-ever - but not until an hour there doesn't I changed advanced settings for USB Disabled------turned off.  PCI peripheral energy saving setting was already off.  Which is in contradiction with my theory.  But maybe, just maybe, something is broken somewhere, or could be a bug... blah blah blah

    -the HBA, Emulex, as it appears in Device Manager in the guest OS doesn't have a power management tab to disable the feature, I don't see that the adapter VMXNET3 had this tab, and I turn off the power save setting to be conservative, do not think that it was the culprit, but as there is no real data running through the NIC.  The data is simply to be read from the disk mounted, not copied on any wire Ethernet.  never the less, in the Emulex properties is a Details tab and a selection of power data, and performance data indicate you what power mode, the device is, as well as feeding supported systems.  D0: full power, but D3, which shows as supported by the device, is an energy saving mode.   I could not yet attend the setting at the time of slow activity, my good intention as soon as possible. He is currently shooting in D0, full power.

    This is so what I have to offer on this, I hope that its just...   If I'm missing something, or if others have experienced this massive loss of unknown flow without reason and have resolutions, please share.

    If there is a way for me to disable power on the Emulex HBA management inform you please, I don't mind if I stop to enter the firmware, if that was even possible.  But if possible I would disable it immediately before any new tests are executed.

    The root cause of this issue has never been identified by VMware support which for me is a question of ugly.  Reservation of CPU for the VM using directpath IO with HBA installed in it corrected the problem.  I'd be leary with direct path IO.

  • 10 mb on the guest operating system network connection

    I just installed ESXi 4.0 on a server that has 6 physical Gigabit NIC I only got one of them enabled for now. I created a new virtual machine with a clean install of Windows XP Pro and I was quite surprised to find that when finally completed XP installation, she did know that the speed of 10mbit NETWORK card. Although the physical NETWORK adapter on the server is a Gigabit NIC, its connected to a 10/100 switch and the lisghts on the connection stating that the ESXi NIC host operating at 100 Mbps. Is there a reason why the guest operating system should see a 10mbit connection?

    I agree with the previous post, but it should also check your network connection on your host computer speed (host, configuration tab, click on networking) to see how fast has been negotiated.

  • Connection to the guest operating system

    Hello! I've been test connectivity of a guest OS on a machine of ESXi. The problem is that I cannot ping successfully invited an operating system from another computer on the same network. The guest operating system is able to reach the other IP address on the network (via ping), but not the reverse. The guest operating system is Windows XP, and the local IP addresses are defined in static.

  • Inter Process Communication in the guest operating system

    Hello

    I had a question regarding such communication processes in the guest operating system. The hypervisor is involved in the IPC somehow or what OS guest is authorized to provide uninterrupted CPI by the hypervisor?

    In particular, the IPC system calls do not cause a trap to the hypervisor?

    As far as I understand it, the guest operating system is allowed to manage the IPC mechanisms without any involvement of the hypervisor. I would be grateful if someone could confirm and possibly explain this better

    Hello

    I had a question regarding such communication processes in the guest operating system. The hypervisor is involved in the IPC somehow or what OS guest is authorized to provide uninterrupted CPI by the hypervisor?

    Well unbroken is a general question, the hypervisor provides a virtual machine a slice of time on one vCPU so this slice expires, the virtual machine has no treatment until he gets another slice. This is the case when the CPU is more engaged.

    In particular, the IPC system calls do not cause a trap to the hypervisor?

    Laughing out loud

    As far as I understand it, the guest operating system is allowed to manage the IPC mechanisms without any involvement of the hypervisor. I would be grateful if someone could confirm and possibly explain this better

    What leads you to believe that the hypervisor is involved? The hypervisor handles memory allocation all access startup and the VM disk, but other that the allocation for the virtual machine, there is nothing special happens. If the vmemctl driver is in use, then the balloon pilot is also involved, which could lead to some interesting things to happen when the balloon inflates and deflates.
