create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5
I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a. He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940. 2 discs failed who broke the raid set. I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes. I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7. When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.
I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.
is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work? If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration. I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly. whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.
I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.
Hello
I live in Germany, but my internal clock seems to be adapted to the New York Times.
Very useful, because most repairs or recovery to the VMware is done the evening or at night.

Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage
Hello
I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5. These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option. They are in different groups. I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?
Thanks in advance...
If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

Virtual machine from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional
Two years ago the virtual machine from Windows XP was installed on my laptop which has Windows 7 Professional. I use version XP for playing games is not compatible on Windows 7. Everything worked well until a few weeks ago. I was unable to open the games. An error message window is displayed when I click to start the game. "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG. NT. The file system not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. "The top border of the window says error message"16 bit Windows subsystem. Any ideas.
After temporarily off any protection, I tried restore and recovery without success. Error message says that both failed.

Creating new virtual machine from an another vm
I installed VMware ESXi 3.5 and that you have created a virtual machine to Windows Server 2003. I would like to use this virtual machine as a model to create other virtual machines. How to create a new virtual machine from a virtual machine existing? What is the best practice? Thank you.
stop the virtual machine in question, and "the clone to a template. You can then deploy oversized. Make sure you have all of the sysprep files that are located in the right place.
You wan to watch this .pdf, even if a small wedge, it might be useful
http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vc_2_templates_usage_best_practices_wp.PDF
Keep in mind that in order to use the functionality of model or a clone, you must have a vCenter Server

How to create a virtual machine from a template?
Hello
I created a model of virtual machine with a virtual computer on an ESX Server. I want to use this model to create more virtual machines on different ESX servers. How can I do this?
Thank you
Tejas
In your Virtual Center client in the left upper corner click the inventory button and choose 'Models and Virtual Machines' this will display your virtual machines as well as the underneather of models in the window of the host tree. Right-click on the template and select deploy the virtual machine from this template and it will start the wizard.

Stage of JavaFX Builder 1.0 error: could not create the Virtual Machine Java.
Hello
I have installed JavaFX scene Builder under Windows 7 x 32. The installation process is OK, but when I try to launch the app it crashes and displays an error that says:
"Error: could not create the Virtual Machine Java.".
Error: A fatal error has occurred. Program will exit. »
I installed JVM 7u5, JDK 7u5, JavaFX SDK 2.1.1 JavaFX 2.1.1 (Java EE JDK + Glassfish) I would be grateful if someone could tell me if there is something missing. I reinstalled almost all software java several times, but without success.
Kind regards!
Published by: 942925 on June 26, 2012 10:23Hello
This message appears usually when the JVM cannot allocate sufficient memory. It may be the consequence of the stage Builder set - Xmx1024m command line: this is currently followed by default TLD-4515 and will be fixed in the next few weeks.
For the time being you can give a try on a system with more memory. Moreover, what is your current hardware configuration?

How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster
How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster
If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case. If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

Create the virtual machine with the ISO mounted CDROM
Community of hell!
Working on the vmcreate.pl script to add the creation of CD-ROM with iso data store, I got stuck on the error
' Invalid device configuration: ' VirtualSCSIControllerOption.numSCSICdroms '.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, or this option but may not understand how to deliver this.
I created a cdrom as follows (below test I create any CDROM, no iso file to reduce the number of layers):
my $ BPPRR m_backing_info = VirtualCdromRemotePassthroughBackingInfo->new)
deviceName = > ' '.
exclusive = > 0,
);
my $description = description->new(label = > 'CDROM', summary = > 'cdddrom');
my $connectable = VirtualDeviceConnectInfo->new(allowGuestControl = > 1,)
connected = > 0,
startConnected = > 1,
( State = > inmates ' / ' );
my $ BPPRR m = VirtualCdrom->new(backup = > $BPPRRm_backing_info,
connectable = > $connectable,
controllerKey = > 0,
deviceInfo = > $description,
key => 1,
( unitNumber = > 1 );
VirtualDeviceConfigSpec->new(device = > $BPPRRm,
operation = > VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation->new()'add'));
Did anyone have working example to create the virtual machine with CDRom?
Andrey
If someone will find this useful I followed this route Re: vmreconfig.pl add the device CD/DVD fails if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl
and also I found good examples of what I need to in VMUtil.pm in cmd vmsphere libraries.

Hi guys,.
I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:
-Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)
-L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize
Any help?
I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice
Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator
Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:
Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1
Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2
Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3
The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)
Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...
Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

Create several virtual machines from the same base image
Hi all
Is there any vi api sdk by which I can create several virtual machines form same base vmdk file?
All create the VM from the base VMDK file will have their own delta vmdk file that will refer to the same base VMDK file. Only changes that are performed on each virtual machine are saved on their respective delta vmdk files.
Thanks in advance...
Hello
What you are referring is called Clones related, in the current VI API, there is no method that supports this feature. You can take a look at CloneVM_Task() http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html#clone if you want to implement a full clone and this will require you to have access to vCenter.
In the next version of vSphere, vSphere SDK THAT will provide a way to implement the related Clones and it will be a parameter you can specify CloneVM_Task() , more precisely in the VirtualMachineRelocateSpec where you will specify diskMoveType to createNewChildDiskBacking
You can find more information once vSphere of GA and the new QAnywhere VI documents are released, but if you are looking to implement related Clones today, you can take a look at the product of VMware View 3, which provides support for linked Clones or you can take a look at two scripts that I wrote which creates linked Clones similar to that of the view :

Create the virtual machine by using the file PowerCLI and csv
I know there is a lot of info out there on this and I think I have a working script prety good. Much was borrowed from this thread, http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193 many thanks to LucD.
My code is as follows:
# Deploy virtual machines from CSV file
# Much borrowed from http://communities.VMware.com/thread/315193?start=15 & tstart = 0
# CSV import file
Import-Csv "C:\guests.csv" - UseCulture | %{

Get-OSCustomizationSpec $_. Customization | Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | `
Game-OSCustomizationNicMapping - UseStaticIP - IpAddress IpMode $_. ""IP address""

$vm = New-VM-Name $_. "" Server name "-model $_. Model-host $_. ' "The ESX host" '
-Datastore $_. Data store - OSCustomizationSpec $_. Customization"
-Confirm: $false - RunAsync
## .......
}He's going to cross and clone the virtual machine, and looks like he's running of the OSCustomizaitonSpec then it bombards. It cleans bad VM. Recent tasks shows "failed virtual machine clone that a specified parapeter was not correct." hostname ".
The problem is that I don't mean to set a hostname with the OSCustomixationSpec, I try only to IP address info.
I'm runningn PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491
My ESXi host is 5.0.0 build 914586
My vCenter Server is Ver 5.0.0 build 623373
I opened a new thread, because the age of the old thread. Not sure if this is the best way to do things.
A very simple and intuitive brake system :-)
## Deploy VMs from CSV File ## Much borrowed from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193?start=15&tstart=0 $maxJobs = 3 $currentJobs = 0 ## Imports CSV file Import-Csv "C:\temp\TestDeploy1" -UseCulture | %{ ## Gets Customization info to set NIC to Static and assign static IP address Get-OSCustomizationSpec $_.Customization | Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping | ` ## Sets the Static IP info Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress $_."IP Address" ` -SubnetMask $_.Subnet -DefaultGateway $_.Gateway -Dns $_.DNS## Sets the name of the VMs OS $cust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name Test Set-OSCustomizationSpec -OSCustomizationSpec $cust -NamingScheme Fixed -NamingPrefix $_.VMName## Creates the New VM from the template $vm=New-VM -Name $_."Server Name" -Template $_.Template -Host $_."Esx Host" ` -Datastore $_.Datastore -OSCustomizationSpec $_.Customization ` -Confirm:$false -RunAsync $currentJobs = Get-Job -State Running | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count while($currentJobs -ge $maxJobs){ sleep 30 $currentJobs = Get-Job -State Running | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count } ## ....... }
You can be more selective about the current jobs. For example, you can check if the name of the job shows that they are actually cloning jobs.

Virtual machine from Windows 8 not found
Performance of Fusion 5.0.2 with Lion mountain on a MBPro. Created a Windows 8 VM and all seemed well. I got a message today when Windows 8 was running. I don't remember what he said, but he indicated that the VM could not suspend due to the fact that a name had changed. I closed my programs and stop windows 8 wth no descendants. I stopped VM and rebooted. Now, when the Virtual Machine library appears it shows Windows 8, but it is not found, said. Can someone help me solve this problem. I hope I don't have to rebuild the virtual machine. Thank you very much. Dave
According to the support group, the "/ Users/klodigensky/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmInventory ' file all of the Virtual Machine must be located in" / users/klodigensky/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized / Windows 8.vmwarevm» Note that by default, .localized extensions and .vmwarevm are hidden.
I guess it's is gone which means it has been moved or deleted and you looked in the trash for her?
Also if he was moved accidentally, you should be able to find it in a Terminal by using the following command:
mdfind .vmwarevm
Another way to get it is by using a program like disk inventory X that graphically display the contents of the hard drive and because of the Virtual Machine tend to be bigger then most files should be quickly noticeable.
Otherwise there is not much more to offer in this case.

Create several virtual machines from a
Is it possible to create multiple virtual machines a build? I have a 2008 R2 vm. instead of having to rebuild the whole system from scratch is there a way to make a template or something to create several virtual machines a build? I am using vcenter 5 and I have 2 servers esxi 5.
You can create a template by right-clicking the virtual machine and choose Clone to the model and give the datstore where you want to save after that you will have a model using this model to deploy the virtual machine using Customization Wizard.
