Graphical support for linked clones

I would use linked clones in order to improve the commissioning of virtual servers that share large amounts of common data. I have the budget for upgrading vSphere and/or purchase additional software, and I tried to ask the VMware sales people to get advice on what products would allow management of related clones. The saleswoman, I spoke with possibly suggested vCenter Server v5. My company already uses v4, and I see nothing in it for me to create a linked clone. Maybe it's a new feature in v5, but it is not mentioned in the list of the new features. I think that the seller was probably misinformed about this possibility.

Does anyone have experience create clones related with a graphical management interface? If so, what is the combination of products VMware would be optimal to allow clones related to a small environment (e.g. 2 physical hosts)?

If you want to use linked clones, right now your options are to use vCloud Director or VMware View.  There is no support of base level for the creation of a clone that is bound in the GUI (just support of the API for it).

  • fact Intel(r) 865 G Graphics support for windows 7?

    My motherboard does not support windows 7 except my graphics driver. Is there a driver for it can you please sent me the link.

    You would go to Intel.

    Supports (or lack thereof) of any material that you connect to your computer running any operating system actually comes of (or does not) the manufacturer of the device physics of said - not the manufacturers of the system in question.

    Web page of Intel driver

    What is the specific motherboard model/manufacturer?

    32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7?

    Although - frankly - looks like you're out of luck.  The manufacturer (Intel) just can not support in this operating system.

    I suggest you use the page to identify your Intel® graphics controller to check what you have.

    However, please take note:

    Intel released newer drivers XPDM for old graphics controllers?
    Intel does not plan to release new XPDM drivers for the following former Intel graphics controllers:

    • Chipsets Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset family

    Thank you

    Hello

    Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

    • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
    • Need new card system (Yes),
    • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
    • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
    • Cost of the work.
    • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

    It can be cheaper to buy a new machine.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows 8 Switchable Graphics Support for AMD Mobility Radeon and 1st Gen Core i5 Intel Graphics

    Since I've upgraded to Windows 8 my graphics did not work at all (only the work aside Intel). This is a problem because it seems that my HDMI port is plugged directly into my ATI card and with it disabled I can't play half of my games or make use of my HDMI port. I contacted AMD and have tried all their drivers but nothing has worked for the past 3 months. They said that, because Intel is a competitor, the manufacturer must release these new driver updates to manage the two cards. I couldn't find anything to help me with this and I am planning to switch brands because it has been a frustrating experience for me. In addition, I can not install AMD Catalyst Control Center because for some reason it does not recognize my card. If you guys could help me find a solution to this problem or point me in the right direction would be great. Thank you.

  • Why Linked Clone drive so slow?

    I hope someone has the answer or advice to get better performance with VMware View Linked Clone VM. Just trying to understand why the disk performance is so slow with linked if Clone disk compare with normal disk. Just compare the tests of two simple facts with Iometer with the same configuration (4K, writing 80%, 100% random). The first test is inside the linked Clone (C:\) disk and the second is by normal drive added to the same VM on the same data store.

    RESULTS by C:\ (Linked clone)

    ARE OPS / s: 376

    Flow: 1, 6 Mbps

    Latency: 25 ms

    CPU: 62%

    RESULTS with D:\ (normal disk added to the same data store - Thin Provisioning)

    ARE OPS / s: 3369

    Flow: 13, 8MBps

    Latency: 3, 0ms

    CPU: 13.5%

    The latency is almost 10 times longer and PAHO are / s is almost 10 times less with linked Clone disk. I have attached the Iometer results here combine with ESXTOP results. The ESXTOP shows the same poor results, but strangely the VM do a lot of readings with the linked Clone test. The CBRC is enabled on this pool but I don't think it could have an effect since the disk Iometer is on the 'delta' so not in the drive to digest.

    I am sure that the problem is not with the hardware, but just in case, here the configuration:

    ESXi 5.5 (Dell Poweredge r.620)

    EqualLogic PS6100XV

    4 X iSCSI 1Gbs railways

    See Horizon 5.3.1

    vCenter 5.5

    Base image Windows 7 x 64, 2 vcpu

    Solved!

    Finally, there is the problem of the image of the mother. The version of the hardware was v8. After the upgrade to version 10 of material and to recompose the pool, the problem disappeared.

    Since the 5.2 view, there is a new type of disk to disk clone bound: "SE Sparse (bulk) disc. Is it supposed to be better for the efficiency of storage, especially for the reclamation of storage, but there is a better treatment of the IO, written with alignment issues. It's the type of disk by default for Linked clone, BUT only when the image of the mother is on version 9 or higher of the material...

    The results are now OK with the same test VDI. Now, the metric VMWAIT % is normal:

    We can see the type of different disc for disc of delta between the version 8 material (first) and 10 (second):

  • Linked clone failed: the operation is not supported on the object

    Hi all - I would appreciate help on a related clone operation that is a failure.

    I use Quest vWorkspace to create linked clone VM in my environment.  It integrates with virtual Center and creates from a VM snapshot parent according to normal related clones.  It has just stopped working and I am trying to track down the cause.  The task fails with the error message in the console of VMware vCenter: the operation is not supported on the object.

    The vCentre is 5.5 and esxi.  vWorkspace is v8.0 MR1.  The parent VM is located on an iSCSI datastore.  I tried to put the clones of destination on premises and warehouses of NFS data with the same result.  Unfortunately I can't (don't want really to) move the VM parent from the data store that I have of many VM related to this virtual machine.

    The failure message is a bit generic, so I looked on through the vmkernel.log and vpxa.log and it is an excerpt from the vpxa.log whereby it shows failed task 153.  Can someone please indicate something in the newspaper that had to be examined or another newspaper to look at?

    vWorkspace attached error and below:

    Linked clone has not CreateLinkedClone_Task of CloneVmLinked failed!

    Additional accessories:

    Hello guys,.

    For those of you already on 5.5, I did a few tests these days. I did find a magic bullet yet as a single parameter that is sure to break but I came up with a workaround.

    I found that if my ESXi server was still on the 5.1, vWorkspace could deploy clones linked via vCenter 5.5 - it's only when the ESXi is also on 5.5 that you have a problem.

    If any of you have ESXi hosts still on 5.1, you can deploy there for now.

    In ESXi 5.x, it is easy to have an ESXi virtual machine. You might want to consider creating some virtual boxes ESXi to deploy on while the vworkspace dev team look at why it does not work.

    I know that this is not the best solution in the world, but it's better than no work around

    Thank you, Andrew.

  • Win 7 Support for Intel 865 G (HP D530 SFF) graphics card

    I recently upgraded my HP/Compaq D530 SFF model (small footprint) Pc in XP - PRO on Win - 7.  The upgrade was easy and went smoothly.  Update Windows automatically updated the driver ADI AC97 Integratd Digital Audio to worm 5.12.1.5410 and the driver Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet to worm. 10.100.0.0, which are listed by HP as Win-Vista certified.

    Unfortunately, it didn't automatically update the driver for the hardware Intel 865 G chipset motherboard graphics.  Instead, it installs a Microsoft "generic" drivers VGA game.  My D530 SFF special is a 2.8 ghz P4 hyperthreading, but according to the HP "Drivers WEB site" (for XP), all versions of the HP D530 has the same graphics hardware. so, my exact submodel should not really matter.

    Windows 7 runs strong (at least as well as XP) on this beautiful little PC.  In three days, it has generated NO 'system' or 'application' error log.  Win-7 notification Center, however, annoyingly tells me everytime I open a program of specific graphics of Win - 7 (even the game of Solitaire) that my video card is running in "software rendering" mode with NO hardware acceleration.  Even the Solitaire game runs very slowly, but it runs without error.  Microsoft "DirectX Diagnostic Utility" indicates that DirectX 11 is running correctly on my PC and it can't find ANY error.  It indicates (as I already knew) that hardware acceleration has been turned off.

    I tried to run HP softpac "sp31335.exe" to load the version "6.14.10.4396 has ' graphics drivers running on this PC when installing XP.  The softpac ends before doing anything with a message that says "Unsupported OS."  Because softpac graphic drivers are supposed to be 'XPDM"consistent, I suspect they will probably work with Win - 7 (even if they are NOT supported by HP and may have some minor problems).  In any case, I would put a "restore point" and give it a whirl.  What I have to lose, because there is NO data or programs installed on this PC (clean install).  In the worst cases, I just reload Win - 7.

    My problem: I can't go to the version "6.14.10.4396 has ' graphics drivers because of Installer softpac (i.e."sp31335.exe").  Is it possible that I can bypass the message 'NOT supported by the OS' and get the graphic drivers to install anyway?

    Update: I solved my problem.  Even if HP has structured its executable program SoftPac (sp31335.exe) so that it will not install the version of graphic XPDM driver 6.14.10.4396 on a HP D530 with Windows 7 operating system, Intel made this driver available on its WEB site and is available for download. ZIP format.

    During a search, however, I found a newer version of the Intel driver and installed.  The Windows DirectX Diagnostics utility reports NO errors and hardware acceleration has been turned on.  In addition, 96 MB of memory is allocated to graphics.  I ran for a good week with graphics performance at least equal to what was previously done under Windows XP.  Data for this download are the following:

    Apparently, Intel provided this driver to Microsoft for inclusion on the installation disk of VISTA to 865G family support (and other).  I extracted the following excerpt:

    Q3: Intel provides drivers for Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel GMA 900) WDDM on platforms based on the Intel 915 Express chipsets?

    A3: Intel will provide support for WDDM drivers, starting with the Intel® 945 Express Chipset family and beyond. See question 5 below for a detailed explanation of the WDDM support on platforms based on the Intel® 915 Express chipsets. However, Windows Vista is supported on the Intel® 865 G, 915 G Express desktop PC and 852/855 GM chipsets chipsets mobile running XPDM (XP Display Driver Model) driver included on the Windows Vista install media. Windows Vista will install on these platforms, but advanced features such as Aero in Windows will not be enabled as XPDM drivers do not support Windows AERO.

    After the upgrade of the House 7 to 7 Pro the Toshiba support site shows the bad graphics card for my L775D. I have an AMD Radeon 6250 built in card and when you search AMD support site, it does not show my video card. I did a search automatically and empty came also.

    I also had a problem with a file. TVALZ_O Sys when I search because she is on board I came with 3 files which no I can do something with. The system will accept all available Windows updates and continues do not install 3 updates of security. This a Quad Core A6 Vision 1.4 GB processor any help would be greatly appreciated as I formatted and reinstalled until I'm blue in the face.

    Hello Stephen,

    The file that TVALZ_O seems to be linked to Toshiba ACPI and it seems THAT BIOS should be updated.

    Since you are facing many problems after the upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, it seems you may need to check the latest updates of the Toshiba BIOS.

    Important: Change the BIOS (Basic input output system) / Semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    You have to get in contact with the support Toshiba BIOS update and to get help.

  • addition of CPU/memory for desktop computers in composer linked clone pool

    Hi all

    I want to add more CPU/memory for desktop computers in a pool of composer linked clone but I want to build a pool of test out changes first, while the production area is still in place. Can you screw with virtual material in the main image and then take a snapshot and build the pool of test out of it without him bring the clones in the production pool?

    I think that the process would be as follows...

    1. modify the parameters of material on the main image of Win7

    2. run the main image and let it recognize the CPU and additional memory (probably needs to restart the CPU I think)

    3. close the main image and take a snapshot

    4 create a new pool of test off the coast of this new snapshot

    Thank you!

    Yes it may seem straight, it won't cause any problems. If you want to be very careful with your prod environment, you can just clone the base image and make your tests on it.

  • Force linked Clones to check the live servers to KMS for Activation

    Hi all.

    Apparently, linked clones will check the KMS server that was used to activate their master gold.

    (Centre of Documentation of VMware View 5.0) - Note This is display 5 documentation, but we use 6.1 view now.

    " For the approval of KMS, View Composer uses the KMS server that is configured to activate the virtual machine parent. »

    It is a problem if the KMS is taken out of service, or generally a problem - all the linked clones fail to activate.

    How can we prevent the clones related to use the same KMS server?

    How can we get the clones related list and choose the first KMS server, which is returned by the DNS SRV records?

    Thank you

    Update:

    High level of the DNS entry works very well.

    • We have added a DNS record called kms.domain.com that uses repetition alternate for our KMS server two.
    • We made the VM Golder Master point to the folder. slmgr.vbs /skms kms.domain.com:port
    • We rode to the top of some related clones.
    • Check where the clones linked when pointing to slmgr.vbs /dlv- both pointing the DNS record and not a specific server.
    • Made a second activation and performed a capture of packets at the same time slmgr.vbs /ato

    We found that the clones related to different servers and respond accordingly.

    The same thing can be done with office by using the ospp.vbs script (although different switches).

    Hello. We have clones of persistent link to view running in the environment from our view. We need to migrate these desktops to new storage. Rebalancing is out as this will include a refresh operation - destroy anything and everything installed in c:\ of the user. Is there a method to migrate Desktop clone link persistent to a new data store, while keeping the office in the same exact state (i.e. c:\ is not updated).

    Thank you

    Never say impossible. I came across the solution when I read the article by Duncan Epping:

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/03/15/Dr-of-view-persistent-linked-clone-desktops/

    I have that for my situation. Basically, replicate data from view in the new storage warehouses. Set up data warehouses replicated without re-signing with the cluster of ESXi. Turn the power off and unsubscribe the vCenter view workstations. Save the workstations from the data store replicated/mounted to vCenter and power over desktop computers.

    VCenter, nothing dramatic has happened if she sees just as vm being unregistered and re-recorded activity from the same exact data store (the same UUID). View Admin is happy because he sees just the events as desktop computers that have been turned off and then subsequently in reverse. Nothing has changed regarding the database to view ADAM, we still use the same data warehouses.

    I have already tested before for a scenario of View DR, and he succeeded. Between remembering who and Duncan's article helped me to adapt the same process for this. Nothing is impossible
