'Create a snapshot of the Virtual Machine' suspended the process - how to kill?

I tried to rename a virtual machine when I received a message from VCenter that "another task is already underway."

I did some research and found that the virtual machine, I am trying to rename is currently creating a snapshot of the Virtual Machine.  Or - at least the host thinks Yes.

The snap was initiated by vpxuser about 20:00 in the night a few days - and is still ongoing.  I can't kill him since the VIC when it is directly attached to the host.

Looking to my data warehouses - I don't see that he actually created the snap, because I see no 0000001 or something like that.   At this point, I don't like, I don't know why he even launched the snap in the first place.

Is there a way I can kill that process with the help of the console?   It's hosted on vSphere 4.

You have restarted these services on the host computer?

service mgmt-vmware restart

restarting the service vmware-vxpa

  • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

    I see that this error was mailed here, but can't seem to find a position with a resolution.

    We use Lab Manager 4.0.4 and just upgraded the hosts in our laboratory.  Before updating to ESXi 4.1 ESX 4.0 u1, we cancelled all VMs in all configurations.  There is none who were suspended, they were all turned off.  We have improved vcenter 4.0 to 4.1 as well.  We moved from a dell poweredge 1950 with two quad core intel L5410 to a r610 with two quad core intel processor E5506.

    When I try to turn on some of the lab configurations (our VM models all work fine), I get this error:

    • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

    I threw the State for the lab configuration (even if it was turned off and cancelled) and still get this message.  I guess the processor architecture of these chips is quite similar, and both are Intel.

    If I go into this directory of Manager of laboratory inside the data store for one of these virtual machines that does not light and add to the inventory, he turned and starts fine on my server esxi 4.1.  So how do Lab Manager to get account it's well deploy and start it?

    Hey billk.

    Although not supported completely, you can solve it by going to the SQL of Lab Manager database.  Make sure that you back up your database before you do anything like that.

    Open the table "fsdir" and corresponds to the dir_id with the id Lab Manager VM.  Once you find the relevant line, change suspend_proctype_id to null (Zero-Ctrl).  You can do this while Lab Manager is still running.

    The results can be unstable (i.e. Windows can crash if it was a drastic change of CPU), but at least you look at a hard reset.  The bat reset certainly not being able to return to the previous state.

    Also note that while Lab Manager does not include CVS, if you activated, your virtual machines still work in CVS mode.  If you have a mixture of heterogenious of hosts in a cluster for Lab Manager, you can see this question pop up a lot.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with take back the virtual machine because of the VCA, but Lab Manager thinks otherwise and prevents it.

  • Virtual MACHINE suspended on Haswell, may not resume the Sandybridge, despite the CPUID Westmere-level masking in place

    Hey jmattson (or similar to VMware guru gloss):

    We have a virtual machine that fails to resume, despite my current understanding that should be. ESXi is 2068190 on both hosts.

    VM has been started on a Haswell:

    Based on my understanding (Westmere is a subset of the Sandybridge and Haswell), it must have worked.

    Has taken the question, let: VM has when fails to resume because of the CPU compat, is there a way to know exactly what are the characteristics of the .vmss requires that the host cannot satisfy?

    I am committed to experimenting with the approach you suggested, just masking off post-Westmere and assistance of '-' for everything else. But for now, just need to understand what is happening with our current masking.

    I think you need to hide worksheet 7, as I said at the end of my last posting.

  • Restore the snapshots on several virtual machines on multiple hosts?

    I seem to have a mental block.  I need to write a script that will allow me to return to the current snapshot for all VMs on a given host.  I really like he must be all hosts in a specific folder, find all the virtual machines on the hosts, then roll them all would support for previous snapshots.

    I took this to the Administrator's guide:

    $vms = get-vm-location (get-file pods)

    foreach ($vm in $vms) {set-VM - vm $vm - snapshot (get-snapshot - vm $vm - name class_start)}

    For some reason I can't wrap my head around it today.  I know that I have all the elements in my head, can't seem to put it together.  Help?

    That's how I'd do.  It seems that the easiest way to understand.

    $vms = get-vm-location (get-file pods)

    foreach ($vm to $vms)

    {

    # Get last snapshot.

    $snapshot = get-Snapshot - $vm VM | Select - 1 last

    # To return to the last snapshot.

    Set-VM - VM $vm - Snapshot $snapshot

    }

    Tell me if you have any questions.

  • Change the default location of the snapshot for a virtual machine

    Hello. I found this tutorial

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002929

    on hos to move the default location for the snapshots of a virtual computer. How ever what I don't understand is where can I covering the line in the file *.mvx, "workingDir = "new_path_location" ? I just start typing at the end of the file? The file can be edited in Notepad of windows or I should connect to the host using putty and correct it in nano, for example?

    For example, in the same document, they used

    workingDir = "/vmfs/volumes/46f1225f-552b0069-e03b-00145e808070/vm-snapshots"

    I think that " 46f1225f-552b0069-e03b-00145e808070 " is an identifier for the volume. True or not? If yes how can I list all the volumes that are mapped to the host or vCenter Server identifiers?

    Thank you!

    For example, in the same document, they used

    workingDir = "/vmfs/volumes/46f1225f-552b0069-e03b-00145e808070/vm-snapshots"

    I think that " 46f1225f-552b0069-e03b-00145e808070 " is an identifier for the volume. True or not? Yes its unique identifier for your vmfs volumes, but its better if you provide your name of store data instead, as if your data store name is XYZ, provide/vmfs/volumes/xyz/vm-snapshot, you can do it using UUID as well but you need to type for long and its not easy to remember.

    If yes how can I list all the volumes that are mapped to the host or vCenter Server identifiers?

    using the cli

    list of esxcli storage vmfs

    using ssh console, this should provide you with all the information for the disks

    Fdisk-lu

    Another thing,

    CD vmfs/volumes /.

    LS - lah

    You can see your vmfs volumes

  • Help: Cannot clone a snapshot for a virtual machine that is turned off

    Hi guys

    I am currently using VMWare Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310

    (The latest available at the time of writing)

    I want to create a clone of a snapshot.

    The snapshot is on the two snapshots behind 'You are here' - the current state.

    The computer virtual running windows server 2012.

    The virtual machine is completely turned off.

    (the virtual machine was turned off within the BONE, and no 'Power Off' option is available in the menu 'Power' after the OS is turned off, indicating (as far as I can tell) that the virtual machine is turned off completely)

    However, when you try to create a clone of the snapshot, the dialog box indicates that the virtual machine must be fed first (which I think it is) before making a clone.

    The only option available in the dialog box is "Cancel". (ie - the cloning process cannot continue)

    The attached picture shows the dialog of Clone, indicating the issue - and behind it, the engine power VM off

    (I'm trying to clone the snapshot "Installation")

    In other words, I have a completely powered off power VM (as far as I know), but it is impossible to create a clone of a snapshot, as VMWare seems to think that it is always active, for some unknown reason...

    Am I something wrong / missing something?

    Please advise...

    Thanks in advance

    James

    Welcome to the community,

    the reason is that the virtual machine has been turned on at the time you created the snapshot. What you can do is to clone the virtual disk manually using the command line of vmware-vdiskmanager (using the snapshot required as the source hard) and then create a new virtual machine by using the virtual disk cloned rather than creating a new.

    Hi all

    I'm trying to convert a physical Windows 2008 R2 (SP1) virtual, using Vmware vCenter Converter Standalone version 5.5 build 1362012, it fails at 1% (after around 40mins) with the following message

    Windows systems has some LUN (4 x each various size GB) San, being the GUID (GPT) Partition Table.  I went through the wizard as a general rule, by selecting "edited on the machine", a player selected vmware "vmware workstation" or another vmware virtual machine destination 6.0.x and the location of the target being a LUN with 500 GB of space.

    Now for the data to be copied I selected 3 LUN (on a database resides) and put the 'Size' option (but I tried to keep the size of the various passes) to save space.

    I wonder if the converter is not able to work on the GPT partitions?  (I think I saw some discussion of the community on this problem using v.5.1, but using 5.5 should be resolved?)

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you

    Your problem is with VSS, it is probably the lack of space, to seek solutions and similar problems.

    Errors that you see are expected, we need a full newspaper bundle for investigation and don't warry on GPT disks, they are supported with converter 5 +.

  • RestrictedVersionFault then he tried to create a snapshot of the CLI

    I try to create a snapshot of a computer virtual hosted by a server ESXi 4.1 using the CLI from a Windows PC.

    The command I issue sounds like

    VSphere C:\Programmi\VMware\VMware CLI\bin > vmware - cmd.pl - H "192.168.1.1" - U root "/ vmfs/volumes/datastore1/New Machine.vmx Virtual Machine virtual/New" create snapshot "snapshot1" "Snapshot created by Marius da" 0 0

    The error I get is:

    Fault:
    SOAP fault:
    -----------
    Error string: error. RestrictedVersion.summary
    Lack of details: RestrictedVersionFault

    Read the other posts in this forum, I suspect that the problem is related to the free license that I use: is this correct?

    Is there any other possible reason, perhaps related to the syntax I used?

    If so, is there another way to create a snapshot from a command line?

    Concerning

    Marius

    Hi Marius1,

    ESXi free edition is limited to read only RCLI. That sounds like the problem.

    If you have access to the console, you can run the command directly on the console.

    Give it a whirl on the free edition to see if it works.

    1. you must first find the id of the virtual machine virtual computer by running "vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms".
    (Use the id of the virtual machine, you want instant and enter it in the command in step 2)

    2. create the snapshot by running "vim - cmd /vmsvc/snapshot.create
    for example, vim - cmd /vmsvc/snapshot.create 16 VMSnapshot SnapShotBeforeUpgrading true.

    Thank you

    Nick.

  • Create vdisk 30 on a virtual machine

    Hi all

    I'm putting a virtual machine with 30 vdisk requirement for MS exchange on vmware vsphere 5

    my hardware information are:

    Reference Dell R710 with 2 processors and 64 GB of memory

    Storage EQL

    per virtual machine, I need to assign vdisk 600 GB x 30 for the box to the letters.

    but when I create up to 21 vdisk error occur - cannot allocate memory

    Currently, the virtual machine have 2 SAS - 1 map - 16 discs, 2nd card - 4 discs

    I check the config max for vm is 60 vdisks.

    is there a config in advance must be made?

    hope can get help here

    Thank you

    Hi Chris,

    Problem solved for me, please follow the link below. Increase VMFS3. MaxHeapSizeMB to 256 and restart your esxi host 5.

    Note:-in article it is mentioned that the resolution does not work in ESXi 5 host, but if you look at vmkernel.log you will see something like below

    WARNING: Bunch: 2525: bunch vmfs3 already reached its maximum size. Cannot extend.
    WARNING: Bunch: 2900: Heap_Align (vmfs3, 2099200/2099200 bytes, line 8) has failed.  calling: 0x41801636fb90

  • Unable to VM snapshot during the process of backup VDR

    Hi all

    I have a feeling, it is perhaps a kind of oddity in vSphere, but hope that it is a problem with VDR. Basically I have a virtual machine with two drives on two separate data stores. Two data warehouses are formatted differently, one with files limited to 256 GB and the second to 512 GB. This weekend, I created a 300 GB vmdk on the second store, and this morning I noticed that the VDR was not able to take the shot to make a backup. Is it because the ability to snapshot is dependent on the first store of data that cannot cope with the new 300 GB drive? If so, is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you

    Dan

    Hello

    your problem is that a snapshot will be saved in the standard working directory. Who is the directory of your first hard drive, which is located on a data store with the limit of 1 MB Blocksize and 256 GB of file. A snapshot of a 300 GB drive could be bigger than your filelimit and cannot be saved on your first data store. That's why the snapshot fails.

    You have 2 options to deal with.

    1 exclude the second form of disk snapshot process (in the settings of your virtual hardware - VM must be disabled for this)

    2. change the workingDir of your virtual machine, then the snapshot will be created on the second data store. Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002929 how to do it.

  • Create a great metric for virtual machines that shows how many virtual machines on the host parent

    One of the properties of a virtual computer's Parent host.  I would like to pass this info on to a metric Super VM and use to gather the number of VMS are on the associated VM host Parent.   This SM would be so associated with my VMs.

    Is this possible?

    -MattG

    I found this:

    AVG (${adaptertype = VMWARE, objecttype = HostSystem, attribute is summary | total_number_vms, depth =-1})

    Because I had to use a host object type I don't think he would show as a metric of Super in the scope of the VM... it does!
