• Creating a model not supported on ESXi?

  Hello.

  I am trying to create a model of a new Ubuntu installation. I use VMware VI Toolkit for Windows 1.0 build 113525. My server is VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 123629.

  First of all, I have tried different variations of new-model, but failed. EU from the mistakes of

  PS \VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows C:\Program Files (x 86) & gt;  new model - VM (vm-get-name Ubuntu64-model) - name Ubuntu64template

  New-model: Value is found for the required Location parameter

  Online: 1 character: 14

  ++ new model & lt; & lt; & lt; & lt; -VM (get-vm-name Ubuntu64-model) - name Ubuntu64template +.

  and

  PS \VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows C:\Program Files (x 86) & gt;  new model - VM (vm-get-name Ubuntu64-model) - name Ubuntu64template - locati

  on (get-file-name "vm")

  New-model: 2009-01-24 21:16:28 5268e87a-951c-f95a-166b-c5cde7c72260 New-model, the operation is not supported on the object.

  http://communities.vmware.com/message/879931#879931 mentions that there is a bug in the beta version, but has it been fixed in 113525?

  I found the discussion at http://communities.VMware.com/message/1114905#1114905 and tried the following:

  PS C:\ & gt; $vm = get - vm "Ubuntu64-template | Get-opinion

  PS C:\ & gt; $vm. MarkAsTemplate()

  Exception by calling 'MarkAsTemplate' with '0' or the arguments: "the operation is not supported on the object."

  On line: 1 char: 19

  + $vm. MarkAsTemplate (& lt; & lt; & lt; & lt ;)

  By reading http://pubs.VMware.com/VI-SDK/visdk250/ReferenceGuide/vmodl.Fault.NotSupported.html looks that this exception is thrown because ESXi does not support templates. Is that correct?

  Creating a model is a function of Virtual Center.

• Screen flickers on Satellite L300 and I am unable to create a recovery disk

  Hi all

  I just bought a model L300 PSLB0C 08R08C number.
  I was unable to create a recovery disk, I was getting an error message saying it cannot create disk because it is scratched or has dirt on it, I lost 5 nine DVD.

  I am went to the store and replaced by another unit, but had the same problem (I have not tried a different brand of DVD well)

  Second issue with this device, the screen flashes once whenever it is in a shutdown state.
  Number 3, the wireless card disappears from the Device Manager, until I restart.
  Laptop made in China ;-)

  Any suggestions are much apprecaited

  Hello

  It is indeed strange that you were unable to create a recovery disk, and that the problem has resurfaced, even after permutation of the laptop with another unit of the store. However, if you have not tried a different brand of DVD so I suggest that if the laptop asks the disc is scratched or has dirt on it. I'm not sure if toshiba factory in fact blank DVDs, but if they do, it would be a starting point, as one would expect hardware toshiba would happily work with their own brand DVD media. However, if you can't find toshiba dvd then use another trust mark, for example, Imation and TDK. with my experience, I have tried many brands of DVD and have found very reliable TDK.

  regarding the second question, this may be related to the graphics card in the system, or could be due to the performance of the computer laptop itself. Check that you have the latest driver for your graphics card and all the settings on the computer are optimized / hard drives are defragmented and deleted unnecessary files. with your third question, this question could also be related to driver problems, check your regional drivers toshiba site for the latest drivers again. failing this, I would back up your data and then restore to a factory condition, then install the drivers immediately. I hope this info can help you somehow.

  Welcome to the forums and please leave helpful points or correct answer for any useful advice that has been given in response to your problems (e.g. to read the forum rules)

• Unable to create the virtual disk: fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

  Hello

  Im trying to create a virtual disk using the CLI on ESX4i.  The script is:

  vmkfstools.pl - Server 10.190.2.51 - c 20 g d eagerzeroedthick - a free /vmfs/volumes/Internal/test.vmdk

  When the script runs I get error: unable to create the virtual disk: fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

  Can someone tell me why please.  Im trying to create a disk of 20 GB with adapter free with eagerzeroedthick on my internal called storage, (no subdirectory).

  The file system is THAT VMFS 3.33 maximum file size is 256 GB.  The block size is 1 MB.  If it is the block size that is the problem how can I easily change?

  It's in a laboratory, not a production environment.  I need the flag eagerzeroedthick like Im trying to create a passive active cluster node MSCS 2 on a single physical node with 2 machines VMS.

  Thank you.

  Mike.

  If you use the free version of ESXi (U4 and later versions), access to tools like the VIMA API are read-only.

• How big can be a virtual HARD disk in ESXi 3.5?

  I just tried to create a virtual disk of 300 GB and had an error on the file being too large for the disk. I have 500 GB free in my data store, so that's not all.

  Is there a way to define ESXi to split the drive into 2GB pieces, or to not award the entire disk at once, as in VMWare Workstation?

  Thank you.

  Corey Crawford

  Not in this version of ESX.  What you need to do, is to clear all of the LUN, so you can blow the LUN and recreate with the block size you need, which should in this case be not 2 MB.

• Re: Satellite L355D - how to create a recovery disk?

  I searched all over the forums, but does not know how to create a recovery disk works for my laptop. I know it is run from a partition on the HARD drive, but I can't figure out how to access this partition. Should there be some sort of built-in utility?

  Thank you

  You can create the recovery only DVD disc if your laptop computer has preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and factory settings.

  Please check if you can find this tool under start > all programs > Toshiba. There you should find shortcuts to launch this utility.

• Satellite L - how to create a recovery disk?

  Hey,.

  I accidentally uninstalled the program "Recovery Disc Creator". But the folder with Win Vista Recovery disc information are still in my computer. Now, I want you help me in creating a recovery disk. My system is very unstable. So I want to re install. I hope you can help me.

  Sorry, but why did you uninstall the recovery disk creator?

  However, now you can not create the recovery disk because you have uninstalled the program to create the disc.

  The only way I know is you use HARD drive recovery option to reinstall your laptop. You can use it if you go to the advanced boot menu (F8 before Windows starts), choose repair my computer, and then select the Toshiba HDD Recovery feature.

  Normally you get this message if you start your laptop on first use:

  + Important INFORMATION +.
  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.

  Hello

  What kind of DVD that you use to create a Toshiba Recovery disk? I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. A friend tried DVD + R and he couldn t create a recovery disk. After he tried DVD-R and everything was fine but I do not know why this happened.
  So please try other discs.

  Also, check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

• Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

  Hello
  I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
  I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
  The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

  I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
  There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

  Any help appreciated,
  Thank you

  Hello

  You have preinstalled software Toshiba TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator?

  Please check this box.
  Using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator you can create the recovery disk.

  But if your laptop was already pre-installed with Windows XP and then a Recovery CD or DVD must be included.

  Have you checked all of the items in the box?

• Satellite A300D - create a recovery disk

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba A300D. Recently, I installed the version BETA of Windows 7, wiping my installation of Windows Vista on my laptop, now I don't want Windows 7 more and wants to return to Vista. I still have the recovery partition in drive D, but I don't know how to be: create a recovery from this disk or restore using this straight from the trunk. I tried pressing F11 at the Toshiba flash at startup screen, and who just go to a screen that says "Windows could not start...". "etc, I also tried to go to the Multiboot menu and selecting HDD2, and who does not work either.

  So can someone tell me how I can restore back to Windows Vista, I'm not taken worth losing data as I alll backed up on an external hard drive.
  Where can I get the Toshiva Recovery Disc Creator software anywhere?

  Hello

  He's a bad friend... usually it is not possible to restore the laptop on the factory (in the image of Toshiba) settings if you have removed the Vista HARD drive and not create the recovery disk...

  The recovery disk is THIS essential disk and must be created at the beginning!

  But maybe you're a lucky guy...
  I found this thread with a nice tutorial posted by forum user.
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=164927&

  I didn't test it and I don't know if it will work, but I think you're last option... otherwise, you will need to order the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Hello

  If you create the Windows XP startup disk, 700 MB CD is enough.

  According to the second question:

  If you replace the hard drive and format it him, you have to reinstall Windows, but if you have all of your backup data then you can transfer the after that the Windows installation is complete.

  Hope the above information is helpful.
