ESXi 5 loading new virtual machine ISO
I have 5 ESXi loaded on my server and I downloaded an ISO file known (I started in a stand alone server and it works) in my store data, but when I start the new virtual machine, that it goes straight to the pxe boot, I checked the box to connect to the power on.
Any ideas on where to look?
Thank you
That could prove to be entertaining, but I don't know that it will help solve the issue. Is there the chance I can get a copy of this ISO image?

ESXi embedded, cannot start the new virtual machine
We have installed just a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with ESXi embedded. That part went well. I am able to connect through the client. I can create a new virtual machine. That's where I met problems. No matter what I tried the machine does not start. I ' v tried the host device as CDROM, the device as CDROM, and even customer created ISO W2003 CD and downloaded. I can't understand why he won't start. Whenever he tried to boot from the network or when he fails he just says "operating system not found" and stays like that. I started in the bios of the virtual machine and made sure the startup options are correct, etc. I'm lost.
I read this forum for like a day and while I see some who have had similar problems, I have not seen this precise question or a question with an answer that applies to my question. It could be the pre holiday drink
I hope someone can advise.
Thank you
Take a look at this post and try the instructions to boot from an ISO on the side of client - http://communities.vmware.com/message/1106573#1106573.

. ISO is grayed out when you try to make the new Virtual Machine
I recently downloaded fusion VM 5 and I am trying to make a virtual machine for windows 7 without using a disc. I use an .iso file that is saved on my mac. When I'm in the new virtual machine Wizard and go click win7.iso I can't because the text and thumbnail are grayed out and won't do anything. Help, please.
The page you are showing has noting to do with the installation of an ISO Image, it takes to with the virtual hard disk. The ISO Image is assigned to the CD/DVD in the settings of the Virtual Machine if you don't select it in the wizard at the beginning.
Documentation (integrated help file).
1 Select file > new.
2 the new Virtual Machine Assistant starts.
3 click on continue without disc to go to the installation media Panel.
4 in the installation media Panel, click on the image or use operating system installation disc.
5. use the drop-down menu to locate the file .iso for the operating system.
6 click Open to identify the file and click on continue to go to control panel of the operating system.

Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1
Hello
I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1
I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.
There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.
All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?
THX
You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...

Greetings,
I improved my esxi U1 5.0 to 5.1 and attempted to create a new virtual machine in hopes of using the new version of material 9.
Using the standard and Custom options I been unable to create a Version 9 hardware VM by default.
The only option I had was manually upgrade to version 9 once the virtual machine was created.
Any thought or is - this as planned? I need to reinstall from scratch, my host?
dhayashi
To create virtual machines with HW version 9, you can use the Web Client, rather than the windows based Client vSphere.

How to create the new virtual machine vm existing in the data store on ESXI
I have ESXi and couple of virtual machines.
I have the vsphere client on Windows 7.
I then deploy the ovf from the vsphere client vm and it began to import my VM 30 GB.
In the morning, I realized my vm with a vmdk file file has been transferred in the data store
But I couldn't see any virtual computer.
Now I don't know how to turn on this vmdk file that is in my data store
It's a very bad habit of yours to just copy and paste content created by someone else, without even mentioning the source (http://www.mustbegeek.com/create-copy-of-existing-virtual-machine-in-esxi-server/)

Cannot turn on new virtual machines
Hello world
I am running ESXi 5.1.0 (1483097) on a server Dell PowerEdge T300 with 24 GB of RAM and a couple of terabytes of HARD disk space. I have a 64 GB SSD as my default swap file location. I'm unable to turn any VMs created on this server (has only one handful of other virtual machines running on it currently, not more than 4-8GB RAM each). When I try to turn on a new virtual machine, I get the following error:
An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM <vmname>.
Has no power on the virtual machine.
Could not power on VM: insufficient resources.
Cannot extend the pagefile to 32768 k k 93504.
Cannot extend the pagefile to 32768 KB 94208 KB.
There are lots of free RAM available, and I don't have in my pool only resource that all virtual machines live subject. I tried to set the location of the swap file VM to store data of the VM, but that has no effect. Any ideas?
Hello
you are indeed running out of space on your destination of swap - you have only 56 MB of free space on your SSD. You're also out of space for swap on datastore1 and 4. I suggest check it and delete all unnecessary data. Please note that by default without reservation, the VM creates a swap file that is equal to the size of RAM allocated to it. If the startup fails with swap on the hard drive, try quick vMotioning or cold - migrate the virtual computer to another storage. Also you could do a lot better with the free space by consolidating all your storage to a single VMFS volume.

I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model. I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far. In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server. I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference. I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information. Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain. That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step. The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli. I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.
# Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
$DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
# Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
$Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
$Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
#$Spec | Select *.# Get our VM
# Change network settings
Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
-Confirm: $false | out-null
# Close the comments to make change.
Stop-VMGuest - VM $VM - confirm: $false | out-null
# Wait while feedback stops
While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
{
Start-Sleep - seconds 1
$vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
}
# Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
Get - VM "BigServername" |
Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
Start-VMI can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.
OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM? If not, what Sysprep?
Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.
I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine. Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too. I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work. Something's wrong with this picture. He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

This seems to be very picky. Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account. It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

Version: 1I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process. It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process. I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.
In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work. I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol

VMware workstation, crashes when I try to create a new virtual machine
Hello
I never had this problem before, but I didn't create a new virtual machine in a very long time. Last time I created one was making Workstation 9 I think. Some time after the upgrade to Workstation 10 or 8.1 of Windows Update 1 it has started.
In 10 Workstation running on Windows 8.1, I select the file > new Virtual Machine dialog coming upwards and in a few seconds crashes of VMware workstation and closes.
So I checked the Windows event logs and find
Warning "VMware Workstation to function properly, must be reinstalled after the upgrade to Windows."
So, I upgraded from 10.0.2 to 10.0.3 and it uninstalled and reinstalled but I still get this warning.
Followed by an error

So I need help to track down what I am not sure what VMware paper to look to maybe see what is happening.
Thank you
Rainey
Well, I found the problem.
I looked in the UNK file and found a few ISO files wrongs tracks.
I had mounted some ISO in the past and they have made the entry in this file of preferences such as "isoLocationMRUx".
I'd change the leter this ISO file player so they could not be found as input, once I corrected the paths I can now create a new virtual machine.
He is responsible for ion BONE the new virtual machine now.

USB HDD as a data store and storage of VMS and new virtual machines
I have a server Esxi 4.1 with 1 TB RAID 5 storage and 3 virtual machines. The storage is full and no space for another HARD disk, so my question is: would it be possible to use a USB HDD as a data store and could be included as a storage for new virtual machines or the VM? If so, could someone let me know how to do it because I'm not able to detect the HARD disk on the host itself.
No, it is not possible to use a USB drive as a data store.

New virtual machine cannot reach gateway all-in-olders Yes
Hi, I'm using ESXi for a year with no problems, but now I'm having a very strange situation. New virtual machine cannot reach the front door, while the 'old'. New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa, but new looks as private. I tried different OS and still have the same question.
That's what I have:
Reference DELL R610 with RAID - 1 and RAID-5
ESXi free 348481 4.1.0
1 card NETWORK connected
IPs public 16
4 VM (W 2008 32bits, W 2008R2 64, 32 2008 W, W 2008 64) works perfectly
All VM are stored on the local Datastore2 (raid-5)
Last week, I installed:
1 Openfiler ESA (gateway problem)
1 W 2008 R2 (gateway problem)
1 W XP 32 (gateway problem)
1 W 2008 32 (gateway problem)
Older VM never lose connection with gateway and beyond
New never manage to bridge
I can't manually add gateway IP/mac address (error 5) in the new.
Anyone can figure it out and how to solve? I'm really lost.
Thank you
New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa...
This excludes actually questions 'virtual '. The vSwitch has no restrictions.
What kind of physical switch are you using? If this is a CISCO switch to ensure that the port is configured as a port of access (or trunk port) and spans tree portfast is. Some CISCO switches have a "macro"set desktop on their ports which limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed on the port.
André
PS: Please don't ask me. Did you check the address of the gateway AND subnet mask are correct for the new virtual machines?

Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store
Hi guys,.
I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.
We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.
My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.
My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.
Q please?
Best regards
Stéphane
82% of failure can be other issues. The article below
http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052
Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well. The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"? Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level. If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB. From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record. Maybe worth it?

Default directory for the creation of new virtual machines
Is it possible to change the default folder for new virtual machines in the data store? Then, instead of esxi always create virtual machines directory under / you can have create the folder in a subfolder.
