• Getting error: could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information

  When I have a virtual machine to export to the FVO on an ESXi 4.0 and then try again to import the FVO on VMware Player or Workstation 7.1, I get the following message:

  «Could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information.» I can successfully re-import this file OVF in an ESXi server without any problems. Anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to remedy this?

• This virtual machine to become protected vsphere HA and HA can not try to restart after a power failure

  I got a 5.1 cluster with some problems HA.

  a few virtual machines are showing this

  This virtual machine to become protected vsphere HA and HA can not try to restart after a power failure.

  When I try to reconfigure HA on the host. It times out and fails.

  any idea?

  Instead of reconfiguring HA on the concerned host, have you tried to disable HA on the cluster and enable again? See: VMware KB: State of the virtual machine changes from protected to Unprotected

• Conversion of physical Windows 7 machine fails during the reconfiguration with converter.fault.FileCreationFault

  Hello

  first of all, thank you for providing tools such as vCenter Converter for free.

  I tried to convert a physical machine to Windows 7 using the current vCenter Converter Standalone (version = 4.3.0 build = build-292238). The target of the conversion is an external USB disk. I am to convert the entire machine, including a disc of about 280 GB in size.

  The conversion takes more than 24 hours, but seems to work quite well. Right after training is converted (to about 98% of the whole process), the conversion fails during the reconfiguration with the following error message:

• Power MacBook from 2016 for Windows virtual machines?

  Hello

  Can anyone with real experience let me know if Spring 2016 up-to-date as MacBook have the ability to run VMware Fusion and a 2 or 4 GB Windows 7 or 10 VMS?

  My local Apple store have answers that are different with none of them being honest users of VMware Fusion or IT pros understand my needs to run heavy client VMware and other Windows applications not too demanding.

  As a point of reference, my i7 '2011 mi' Air is sufficient. It looks like a new MacBook a faster memory and storage but perhaps not the power of the older i7.

  I don't want to waste time and to return a product if it does not work well so all ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I have the new base model 2016; I got the base model 2015 too, and Windows 10 was OK under VMware.

  It depends on what you want to do with your virtual machine.

  However, if I were you, I prefer a 'real' basic PC, powered with Teamviewer. It's really easier, this save your battery and life SSD.

• Recognizing the hardware of a Windows virtual machine hosted on Linux

  Hello

  I would like stable windows in a virtual machine running from linux and run my VI labview and make the acquisition from there.  I tried once using Windows XP 32 - bit virtualized on ubuntu 64-bit, with Virtualbox, but windows setup does not recognize my card PCI-MIO-16-4.  Maybe its because I had not installed the linux drivers... I do not know.  Soon I will start using an FPGA 7853R with the PXI-1036 chassis and would prefer if my Windows installation virutalized could see this material.

  Anyone who crossed through the stages of the use of materials of a virtual Windows installation?  VirtualBox, Xen, Vmware or whatever...

  Thank you

  -Sidney

  Hello

  National Instruments do not support virtual machines, but I'm sure that your PXI will recognize by your system. Max peripheral use ethernet to find devices, so if your network works, you will be able to use it.

  Kind regards

• Powecli set IP for a Windows virtual machine, IP pool

  Hello

  I followed all the steps in this article https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc%2FGUID-DBF79F52-925A-4D0D-893C-49B911D3AC54.html and I need the following to make it work,

  1. pursuant to article when an IP pool is configured, mapped to a portgroup VM in this network is VAPP options enabled and I put it in the static pool of IP.

  2. so when a virtual machine is on the network adapter in the virtual machine must be assigned an IP address from the IP pool.

  3. but VM NIC adapter gets never assigned with an IP address from the pool and VMware have confirmed this IP pool do not have a capacity to push an IP address to the virtual machine.

  I'm looking for a script that can be kept inside the virtual machine and pull an IP address pool option or VAPP machines IP and assign the adapter NIC VM (Windows). Probably via the VMware tools? Let me know any possibility for that?

  The use of IP pools is like poking yourself in the eye. It feels better when you stop

  If you cannot use DHCP and must use IP pools there are a ton of up front configuration mucking about to make:

  1. Follow the first article you have linked
  2. In the options of vApp for the VM in properties and then create a property for each of the things you want to get the pool of IP (IP, etc.). When to create the entries under type select dynamic property can find the correct entry in the drop-down list then the values come from the IP pool
  3. 
  4. Set up an auto start task (a scheduled task that starts at the start) in your model of virtual machine to run a script that:
     1. Expect that VMware tools start
     2. Run vmtoolsd to get the values of vApp in the VM in XML format
        1. 'C:\Program VMware Tools\vmtoolsd.exe-' cmd 'info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv '.
     3. Parse the XML file to extract the intellectual property, etc..
     4. 
     5. Run the OS commands (netsh, wmic, vbScript (wmi) or Powershell (perhaps native, perhaps wmi according to version)) to take the values from the XML file, and then set the operating system options

  Outside this configuration he plays poorly as the 'network' in the dynamic property is bound to a group of specific ports. If you try to deploy widely, this means a VM model by group of ports (blech!)

  Hope this help to help you started (or persuade you to use DHCP)

• Blue screen at the start of WinSrv2008r2 recovered from the backup of windows virtual machine image

  Hello

  At first, everything seems fine:

  -to create the new virtual machine

  -startup disc for instalation of Windows Server 2008 on this VM

  -Select "Repair system" and point the backup image file (full backup - made with standard Windows backup tool)

  -system recovered successfully.

  But then, when the system restart recovered fresh - start start Windows normally - and suddenly it is blue screen with the error 0x0000007b

  IMHO, this first initiated boot of the recovered system trying to twist something in the special part of the disc and he cannot (because it's a virtual disk?)

  Is it possible to recover the system windows image file system server to virtual classic?

  Thanks in advance for all voice :-)

  Greetings,

  RA

  Welcome to the community,

  the error message is related to the controller to start the virtual machine, which is different from the original system, and its drivers are not loaded in Windows. What you try, it is to use the free VMware Converter and run the option "Set up the Machine", which should inject the necessary drivers in the virtual machine. Before doing this, please make sure that the Windows 2008 virtual machine has the default "LSI Logic SAS' controller configured in its settings.

  you have a problem. Impossible to save all the tables in a csv file and do powershell natively recognize them.

  Instead, use a delimiter custom (not the same csv uses!) and split - to import - in a table. Look at the semicolon between two dns servers.

  $newVmList = import-Csv test.csv | Select-Object - property 'name', 'ip', 'mask', 'bridge', @{Name = "dns"; {Expression = {$_ .dns-split ';'}}, "networkName".

  The object resulting looks like this

• NIC goes away on a Windows virtual machine

  Someone on my team ran into this problem on the two virtual machines.

  1020718 Ko tire

  ESX 4.x introduced a new feature called HotPlug. In some deployments cards virtual network may appear as removable devices on the system tray in Windows operating systems. Problems can occur if you confuse this device for one that you can safely remove. This is especially true in the VMware View environments, where there is a constant interaction with the desktop. Do not remove the virtual network adapters in the Windows system tray.
  There is a demand for change identified in the KB resolution for our models of windows. I have never seen this before and is reluctant to make changes to the basic models. Does anyone know what specific deployment scenerio causes this anamoly of system tray?

  Hello

  the Connect feature is not an anomaly, and it occurs not only with specific deployment scenarios. It introduces the possibility of adding hot and hot / deletion of certain devices of harware (such as the network interface cards) and to a virtual machine (if the guest operating system also supports) regardless of the manner in which it was deployed.

  An often undesirable side effect is that a user accidentally unplug NIC of the virtual machine by using the tray icon "safely remove hardware...» ».

  You can avoid this by setting the advanced VM configuration which is explained in http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012225option.

  Make this change to a virtual computer model will result in all virtual machines deployed from this model to have disabled HotPlug.

  It has no negative side effects, so I think only that a certain measure and I would recommend it even.

  I hope this helps...

• Losing network connectivity in Windows virtual machines

  We have a problem with Windows VM where they lose network connectivity after being inactive for some time.  After you go in vcenter server and log in to the virtual machines, they begin to respond to pings again.  For any reason but after they are inactive for a period of time, they stop responding to pings, which means that you will have to return in vcenter server and log, and then their network connectivity is restored.  I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem or have any suggestions.

  Looks like the virtual Windows machine has an option like

  "allow the nic to the power power off in case of inactivity"

  permit.

  Check the energy saving options

• Firmware = "efi": Virtual Machine fails ISO image file

  Hello

  I created a new Virtual Machine and choose in the settings under the CD/DVD (IDE) "use ISO image file". Advanced CD/DVD settings: device virtual node, IDE 1:0, CD/DVD (IDE).

  But it does not work. Why?

  

  It looks like the tool of creation of media does the same mistake that we saw several other OS vendors.  Quoting EFI/UEFI firmware in a Machine using VMware virtual:

  The UEFI specification allows some flexibility for sellers to extend the firmware, as well as for the implementation (or omit) optional parts of the UEFI specification.  Sometimes, OS vendors end by unintentionally depending on the characteristics of their development and test systems that are not part of the specification UEFI, thus limiting their operating system compatibility.

  The most common case of what we saw was sellers OS placing the EFI bootloader for the installation media on an ISO9660 or UDF filesystem instead of a partition of El Torito.  The UEFI specification does not require the ability to read an ISO9660 or UDF file system, although some hardware and the virtual platform providers include drivers for filesystems in any case.  Operating systems that are dependent on the presence of a pilot ISO9660 or UDF will severely restrict the platforms on which they can run, and these operating systems will not run in a VMware virtual machine.

  Your latest screenshot shows that the EFI boot files are present on the main filesystem UDF to disk, but your first screenshot shows the boot EFI files are not present in an El Torito boot partition, as requires it the EFI specification.  The drive you have there will depend on the presence of a UDF driver in the firmware of the system, so it will be bootable on some systems, but not all.  It will not be bootable in a VMware virtual machine.

  This should be reported to Microsoft as a defect in his media creation tool.

  In the meantime, there is a pre-built available for download on the Microsoft site, .iso image without using mediacreationtool.exe?  There is a much better chance of success with an .iso file that is downloaded directly.

  See you soon,.

• All virtual machines fail to be recovered on a store of data due to a VM invalid
