Error: Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the external virtual machine
We are running ESX Vmware 5 on a virtual test in ESX 4.x environment and machine unable to start the virtual machine on Vmware ESX 5. with the following error.
Error: -.
Running on a virtual machine VMware ESX requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.
We found after KB
Howerver, I'm not able to find the option
- Select the virtual machine that is running ESX.
- Go in VM > Settings.
- Click the Options tab.
- Select the General settings.
- Under
Guest operating system
, select VMware ESX. - Click OK.
We are not able to find this option in ESX 4, so we can run this VM.
Please help urgently...
Kind regards
The log file looks good now. However, it seems that ESX 4.0 is older than I remembered. Please, add the following line to your ESX VM configuration file and try again:
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE

How can I run VMWare Workstation on a virtual host?
I need to run VMWare workstation 7.1 on a 2008 R2 virtual running on ESXi. The software installs fine, but when I try to start the virtual machines I get the following error 'you are running VMWare Workstation via an incompatible hypervisor. You can not power on a Windows virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled. »
Is it still possible?
Due to a design flaw of material in the first AMD - V compatible processors, we do not support AMD - V on your host. Hardware support for virtualization (AMD - V or VT - x) for the virtual machine outside is needed to get nested VMs to work.

Error al licenciar esx 3.5, virtual center of the host y
Hola
I have 2 esx 3.5 servidores y Virtual Centre of the United Nations.
In each of esx, Guerra el .lic (single host) he is ok, appears as licenciado (es standard esx).
Instalo UN virtual center y al instalar doy el fichero .lic Québec he generated in the web of vmware (centralized).
VOY a cada esx y pongo ip del Centre virtual donde pone 'use license server', me dice algo asi como no hay to licenses validad if the doy tr o no, the digo if, pero no licenciado appears.
He desinstaldo y vuelto a instalar el servidor of licenses, releido el archivo .lic... no hay manera.
También al of ido he virtual center a "administration", he marcado "change host...". ', Center Management Server virtual y ahi, pero nada. If Quebec me appears ahi al dar al oton "administration", then b has the 'licenses' las features pestana y en 'virtual center foundation manager' in 'cost' pone server 1, remaining pone cero, y pone total 1.
El host appears como desconectado al anadirlo al virtual Center try not there as none is can por las licenses.
Saludos
If el otro no you already licenciar lo're porque el vCenter no tiene fired para asignarle. Of how many CPUs are you fired? How many has released there? How many you is? ESTOS datos los puedes ver en el servidor of licenses y con the utility of licenses.
We must PD. SER Malo tanto yo como mokymura by no received al menos haber nor a punto por todas our responses?

error 2-07, but dv2000 hdd works fine in the external hd enclosure
My computer crashed 2 days ago. my laptop dv2000 has not passed the xp logo screen and flashes an error message blue screen fast, very similar to a previous post on this forum. I ran the self-test for the hard drive and the failure of 2-07 was found message. I pulled the hd and he ran into an external hd enclosure attached to another computer via a usb cable. It seems. I am able to access all files without problem. I ran a ms - dos CHKDSK/r, and no error appeared. should I have run just md - dos CHKDSK? My question why my hard drive very well outside the computer. would it be a bad controller? any help/suggestions/advice would be appreciated. running xp not vista...
Hello Ajqb79,
Thank you for your message. Firstly, your computer is still under warranty? If so, I would advise to have your manufacturer fix it. Given that this problem could be due to a number of factors, we will not be able to give you an exact reason that it happened. From my experience, many computer manufacturer will opt to replace the motherboard, when something of this nature happens. I can't guarantee that this will fix the problem though.See you soonEngineer Jason Microsoft Support answers visit our Microsoft answers feedback Forum and let us know what you think.

Tolls of VMware running within esx 4.0 running on workstation 6.5
Hi all
I am running vmware esx 4 as a virtual machine in vmware 6.5 wrkstation.
When you try to install vmware tools within the esx, after installation, I can't configure. That's what he said.
The installation of the vmware tools 7.8.5 build 156735 completed successfully. Before you run Vmware tools for the first time, you must configure it by invoking the following command. "/ usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want the program to call the order for you now
I hit enter and it says so in a few seconds. "This Setup must be run in a virtual machine. Execution interrupted.
How can do us? He does not like a VM esx
Thank you
The system requirements to run nested VMS opposes using the external virtual machine tools. If you delete "monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE" since the external virtual machine configuration file, you should be able to install the external virtual machine tools. However, VMs nested is not functioning properly in this configuration.
There is no version of VMware tools for ESX. The release of VMware tools for Linux may or may not work in the console ESX OS.

We have 2 physical machines in the company. Both have the same HW configuration, running the same processor:
Intel (r) CPU of XEON E5420 @ 2.50 GHz
One is a regular linux, and on a second we ESX, version 4.
In the ESX we have linux, which should be almost identical with the linux on the first machine.
The version of the kernel is: (a little old for these days, but the necessary cause of the old project)
Linux x 2.4.21 - 53.ELhugemem #1 SMP Wed Nov 14 03:46:17 UTC 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
The problem is that virtualized linux runs slower. I have read, that the load is about 8%, which is something I could live with. But the drop in performance can be seen by the naked eye.
I did 2 test programs:
First of all was just some important work in user space (e.g. giant loop and count numbers). Here, the performance reduction is about 8-10%, which is fine.
Second program is syscalls - "close (0);" in the loop. And that's where this isn't enough anymore:

The machine runs on ESX spent 1200% more time doing the same thing.
Any ideas why this happens? It seems that the change of context is very expensive for a reason any.
You are right that EPT starts with Nehalem; Core (2) has no EPT.
As for your comment
We run hugemem kernel because we have more than 4 GB of RAM. Thus,.
I think to use as base hugemem kernel configuration, but the passage of
4g / 4g to 3g / 1 g split.
Let me first point out that other grain than hugemem (for example,
bigsmp) can handle up to 64 GB of memory, using PAE in 32-bit
mode.
Novell has some verbiage here
http://www.Novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/16262.html
that you can use.
I have not personally tried to pass the hugemem at 3/1 (I have not
even know it could be done), so I can't say if this will help or
not. But if it isn't, the kernel-bigsmp seems to meet your needs
for memory beyond 4 GB addressability (and it is supported by VMware).
Good luck

VMware ESX does not recognize the local RAID volume
Hi all
We are running VMware ESX 3.5 Update 3 on a G4 HP Proliant DL 380 with a Raid Smart Array 6i controller (this is our test platform).
Since the VI Client, it is not possible to add a data store that corresponds to a local 200 GB Raid5 volume. I can see this disc in the "Storage adapters" section (path: vmhba0:1:0, LUN ID = 0).
We have updated the firmware on our server is no problem of conformity between VMware ESX and such old material?
Thank you very much in advance for your help
Connect directly to the server and try to create this VMFS volume? I noticed on VC 2.5 that whenever I have create a server and try that he does not see the space when I try to add storage.
Direct connection to the host ESX with the VI Client works every time...

Hello Ronald.
Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.
Significant changes have been made on the computer before this problem?
A runtime error is a software or hardware problem that prevents a program to function properly. Runtime errors could cause you to lose information in the file that you are using, causing errors in the file (corrupt the file) so that you cannot work with it, or prevent you from using a feature.
Runtime errors can occur if you are running two software programs that aren't compatible, if your computer has memory problems, or if the computer has been infected by malware. As you get "VBScript Runtime error '800A01A8'" on Internet Explorer 11, I suggest that you try following the suggestions provided in the following article and check if it can help solve the problem.

Storage in ESXi (now running vmware server
Hi all
I am running vmware server on a test win2003 Server (the server has only 20 GB of local storage). On my desktop (windows xp pro), I created a shared folder and added it as a data store in vmware server.
Now, I want to move to vmware esxi.
But the problem is that the server has only 20 GB of local storage.
Is it possible to add a data store as I did with vmware server (a shared folder on the network)?
thx for your comments!
And if you need to stick with XP, there are options of iSCSI for her as well as Services for Unix that you would share NFS host on the PC.

A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?
The subject says it all. Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running. They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5. We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again. We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.
If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?
most important:
change
virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.
in the vmx file
then change
ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.
in the vmdk file
the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber
also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6
If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want
