• 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?

  Thank you

  Christopher

  Hello.

  Try to use ovftool to convert a VMX of the FVO.

  Good luck!

• Created in Esxi virtual MACHINE can't see the network

  Hello

  I installed Esxi 5.5 and I have no problem to access and create a virtual machine.

  However, the virtual machine, which is 2012 Windows, does not begin with a network adapter.

  When I check the configuration of the VM, the network adapter is connected, turned on, E1000E but says directpath e/s is not supported. I don't have VMware tools installed in the virtual machine.

  I don't understand where the problem lies. I connect to Esxi ok. I can run the virtual machine in Esxi client ok, but the images says that there is no network.

  I created the VM Windows before 2012, outside of Esxi and the network built in card is detected ok.

  STOP PRESS - in computer management Windows, peripheral, the Ethernet controller is not recognized. So, how can I get the virtual machine to recognize when it is running in ESXI?

  Help?

  Thank you

  Jason

  Also can you check with adapter VMXNET or tru uninstalling and reinstalling VMware tools.

  On the library Virtual Machine ctrl - click on the target of the Virtual Machine and select Show in Finder and delete the .vmss file, the ctrl + click the target package of Virtual Machine, and then after the merger closed. Note: All that was not justified for the suspended state will be lost by deleting the .vmss file. Note: However: you have no other choice if the Virtual Machine does not suspend/resume/stop/start correctly.

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

  I see this error for each VM configured on this particular volume when I run a test:

  
  

  Error - machines virtual "MBRDBPRDRestore1120" who are not protected by this protection group use 'VM_1ALB_T1_VOL1' data warehouses located in this protection group.

  This virtual machine is a copy of a virtual machine that is in the protection group, but it has been restored to a different volume with a different name.

  When I browse the data store I'm not find all files that look like they are associated with restored vm.

  Any ideas?

• 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

• I'm not sure how to make it work. 2 guests, 2 virtual machines, trying to keep the traffic on the Server Blade.

  I have two blades on the same chassis running ESXi 4.1, each has an Exchange Server on it. Im trying to keep the traffic between the two Exchange boxes contained between the two. I thought that I could put in the same vSwtich, but looks like I need vDS for this. I don't have this license level.

  Now, I found myself with two separate vSwitches with the same label. network, it shows them on the same vSwitch so they don't transmit traffic. because they are separate switches... my vSphere networking missing a bit... need to study more.

  Since you have virtual machines on different blades that the traffic between the two will have to cross a physical network card.   If you need to segment this traffic, you can configure a VLAN in your network, add a new group of port on each host to ESXi virtual machine and then set up a NIC in the virtual machines to use this group of VIRTUAL LAN port.

  Though the virtual machines on the same host (always) you can configure a single vSwitch.   In this case the traffic between virtual machines would not hit the physical network and you wouldn't need even a physical NETWORK adapter, attached to the vSwitch.

• HOWTO delete a VMDK to a virtual machine without actually deleting the vmdk disk file?

  How to remove a file VMDK to a virtual machine without actually deleting the vmdk disk file?

  Details:

  My perl script, I need to temporarily remove a vmdk to a virtual machine file. However I do not want the vmdk file should be removed from the virtual machine. For example, the gui vsphere provides this option to delete a virtual disk without deleting the virtual disk from the disk files.

  In my script, I use the ReconfigVM_Task to do this. This does the job, but also removes the vmdk file. How can ensure me that the vmdk file will not delete the disk?

  The code snippet is something are:

  My $devspec = VirtualDeviceConfigSpec-> new)

  device = > $device,

  #device to delete above:

  operation = > VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation-> new ('remove'));

  Push (@$ devspec_list, $devspec);

  My $config_spec = VirtualMachineConfigSpec-> new)

  deviceChange = > $devspec_list

  );

  my $task = $template_view-> ReconfigVM_Task (spec = > $config_spec);

  would really appreciate your help

  When I start this virtual machine, it prompts: unable to find the 0001.vmdk, this disc is my shot, has been deleted by mistake.

  How to restore this virtual machine.

  You need help with a revival of the 000001.vmdk deleted or do you want to repair the virtual machine so that it works without the snapshot?

  The last option, follow these steps:
  remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit the vmx file so that it uses the basedisk. Then add the virtual machine to inventory.
  If you need data from the snapshot call me through Skype "sanbarrow" - I may be able to help

  Hi Requiem88,

  Just to be clear, you press the Option key on the keyboard key then went in the Virtual Machine menu at the top of the screen and choose Force Shut Down who?  Looks like you force quit in the menu Apple have rather choose.  Force quit will put end to VMware Fusion, while the option Force stop menu stop permanently from Windows itself.

  See you soon,.

• Storage DRS, move a virtual machine that is in the data store is not a member of DTS

  Dear all,

  If I've set up storage DRS that contains, for example, DS1 and DS2. I have another virtual machine that resides on DS that is not part of the cluster of DTS. Can I move this virtual machine to one of the (DS1, DS2) data store? OR will some disruptions?

  Thank you

  Jocelyn,

  Which is correct in both cases. You can leave DTS place it for you (which is my suggestion), but I thought you wanted it to go to a specific data store.  That being said you can reactivate the DTS for a virtual machine under the SDR change settings if you do not ever clear for a virtual machine

• Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

  Hello

  I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

  When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

  The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

  It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

  I use folder2iso

  To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

• Operating system of the virtual machine attempted to activate the adapter Ethernet0 promiscuous mode. This is not allowed for security reasons.

  Hi all

  When I start my vm I get error

  "Operating system of the virtual machine attempted to activate the adapter Ethernet0 promiscuous mode. This is not allowed for security reasons. »

  I have been to this page http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 287

  From this page, on my webhost, I created a group called "vmware-vmnet0", then I add the user running vmware to this group.  I can give this rw on/dev/vmnet0 group permissions

  However, I still get the same error above on starting the virtual machine each time.  How can I solve this terrible problem.

  Thank you.

  Device nodes are re-created at boot time.  You can thank Linux udev.  To work around this problem, create the vmnet devices * with the ownership and the permissions you want under/lib/udev/devices.
