• Is it necessary that the guest OS to support SSD if the file of the virtual machine is placed on an SSD?

  Dear,

  I have a plan to set up a file of the virtual machine on an SSD. The host system is windows 10 (on an other SSD, I'll use 2 SSD), it should support the SSD very well.  Then comes the question: should I also install an OS that needs support also guest SSD?

  My opinion is it does not matter since the disk i/o operation is made by host operating system, it is the host operating system which finally determin whick block data will be published (optimization of the disk).

  Am I wrong? Thank you.

  Sorry for the enigmatic answer...

  In your case, the answer is Yes: he cares about the type of media, while the virtual disk is a vmdk (virtual material treaty) and placed in an SSD.

  There are a few cases where you might use a physical disk directly to the virtual machine (called peripheral raw disk or RDM in vSphere environment).

  Greetings.

  I have a 5.5 with an operating system Red Hat 5.10 ESXi environment. The OS worked fine until a few days ago. ESXi displays the error "the CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine. I Don t know why my server displays the error if my environment was OK. Could be a kernel problem? operating system problem?

  Ideas?

  Did you recently patch your VM? Looks like when the guest operating system runs the incorrect commands that it can have a deactivated processor.

• Save the number of the Virtual Machine: expand the size of the virtual disk of Guest OS affect the physical disk on the host operating system files?

  People,

  Hello. I use 3 Player VM and Guest OS Windows Server 2003. The host OS is Windows 7. I need to increase the size of the VM disk, so who can install several systems in the guest OS. If something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications will not work. Thus, before expanding the size of the virtual disk, I need to back up the virtual machine hard disk external.

  I have check the disk hard host operating system Windows 7, the path is C:\VirtualMachine\WindowsServer2003\... When I get to the top of the virtual machine on the external hard drive, simply select the 'VirtualMachine' folder and save automatically. I have 3 questions as follows:

  First of all, if something bad happens during the expansion of the size of the virtual disk, the guest operating system and its Applications do not work. Can I just delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system?

  Secondly, the problem of the first question does not affect files in the physical hard disk to host operating system?

  Third, if something wrong happens during expand the size of the virtual disk of OS guest, I simply delete the folder 'VirtualMachine' in the host operating system and load the original 'VirtualMachine' from the external hard drive in the host operating system. Works correctly as long as one is the Virtual Machine before Stude the virtual disk size?

  Thank you.

  Yes.

  That's right, as long as you have not added and other virtual disks of different folders on the host of the virtual machine, you can probably did not.

  After developing the size of the virtual disk, you must also change the size of the partition in the guest operating system.

• Cannot start the virtual machine guest after receiving "License expired message" host ESXi 5.5

  I can't start computer virtual invited after receiving "License expired message" 5.5 ESXi host. I am able to copy the vm folder prompted with all its files using WinSCP I had already installed on a desktop computer in the network.

  However, it takes an extremely long time to download the VM [2.5 mb/s], which is of course a different question.

  It seems that I was still on the trial with my vsphere client license, until it expired. I am able to view the virtual machine within the workstation 10, but I can't turn it on. It says "Please install a license to power on this computer" there is no way to install a license anywhere.

  My question is... .will I be able to access this virtual machine if I download on an external hard drive, then add it to 10 VMWorkstation that I possess a current valid license?

  Even if the evaluation license has expired, you should be able to connect to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client and follow the steps mentioned in the article that I posted before you enter the free license key.

• Host detects the virus that is ran in the virtual machine

  When I google search for "virus to test download" and open the 2nd link in my windows 7 VM, avast on my host computer is like VIRUS DETECTED. I'm guessing that this occurs because the virtual computer uses the internet hosts.

  PS: it was once my I.T. teacher told me that he was sure navigation in a virtual machine.

  Host antivirus can detect the test virus in the network traffic and also could detect when the VM saves on hard drive of the virtual machine (which, after all, is stored just as a set of files on the hard drive of the host).  Some antivirus programs scan even the memory used by all processes running, in which case it can also discover that the test virus from the data in the memory of the virtualization engine.  None of these situations are a source of real concern for the host.

  Navigation in a virtual machine is generally considered safe from the point of view of the host, but virtualization will do nothing to directly protect the OS itself invited to malware that it can capture.

  Note that VMware Workstation has a few features that deliberately to break the isolation barrier and could expose the host to a malicious client.  If you are worried about it, a good starting point to lock the virtual computer is to go in the settings of the virtual machine, choose the Options tab, make sure the shared folders is disabled (under Guest insulation), make sure that the Clipboard and features drag-and - drop are disabled.

  See you soon,.

• Connect to a service running on the Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I installed the server virtual computer on a Windows Vista-based computer. I have created a virtual machine and configured the Windows XP operating system and certain services is installed.

  I can't do a ping to the host Vista the XP virtual machine. But I'm not able to ping for the service that is running on the Virtual Machine host to Vista XP. I have configured the virtual machine to run on the HostOnly network.

  What could be the problem/fix?

  Kind regards

  Knockaert C

  If you are pinging by IP address then it work should absolutely check that the Windows Firewall in XP guest does not prevent the ICMP packets that is located on the tab 'Advanced' the Firewall Control Panel applet. No changes to host files is required. What type of network you choose - bridged, host only or NAT. If fulfilled, VMware is fill protocol running on this NETWORK card in the home? If one of the other two, is their virtual network adapters (VMnet *) in the active host and IP associated with them?

• "Unable to connect to MKS" when connecting to the virtual machine shared

  Hello

  I have a handful of Shared VMs Im trying to access remotely with VMware Workstation Pro 12 (same version on the client and the host - two Windows 10 machines). I am able to connect to the host that shares virtual machines, I can see all the virtual machines shared, open the virtual machine (as in it opens in a tab within the workstation) and virtually no action on the virtual machine including all power options, instant, change settings, etc.. The problem is that if I turn on a virtual computer (or connect to an existing virtual machine under tension, I get the following error and Im not able to access the actual console since it remains as a black screen.

  Unable to connect to the MKS: (name of user and password) Login incorrect.

  I also noticed that on the client Windows Event Viewer is to launch the following warning events at the same time that the error in the Workstation has been lifted - Im not seeing any on the host are thrown.

  

  

  I've seen a lot of posts here with users who run the question and he usually ended up being a network problem. I turned off the Windows Firewall on both machines, checked ports 443 and 902 listening on the host and Im in telnet from the client to the host on port 902. I also saw another suggestion for updating the client Windows hosts file to include [host name] [IP address] and [FQDN of the host name] [ip address], but this subject seems not helped either.

  Suggestions in this regard does not happen what keeps or where to find more information about the cause?

• Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

  I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

  - or regularise space for the new amount

  - or move the virtual machine (vmdk) to an another partition/HD

  - or to convert monolithic mode to 2 GB split

  What is the best solution?

  Thanks in advance

  Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

  When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

  Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

  Prerequisites

  Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

  Procedure

  1 right click on computer and select Manage.

  2. double-click on storage.

  3 double-click disk management.

  4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

  5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

  6. close the computer management window

• Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

  Hi all

  (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

  We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

  We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

  I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

  Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

  TIA

  Your script seems to be ok.

  When the VMware tools are installed you can do a gracefull shutdown (Stop-VMGuest) within the guest where OS the obligation for the VMware tools.

  The next option is to stop the virtual machine (VM-Stop), with what would be the power button on a physical computer.

  No phasing out of the BONES and a potential risk on the corruption of the OS.

  With switch RunAsync that the cmdlet returns immediately, it will not wait until the underlying vSphere method is complete.

  The method will continue, but in the background.

  You should check these tasks to background (Get-task), to monitor the successful completion.

  To manage VMS in batches of 25 and wait 60 seconds between batches, you could do something like that

  $vms = get - VM

  $step = 25

  $start = 0

  for ($loop = 0; $loop - the ([math]: ceiling ($vms.)) Step Count / $)-1); $loop ++) {}

• the virtual machine customization: Customize not

  Hi all

  When I create a model for w2k8r2 I follow these steps:

  -install w2k8r2

  -install the required patches

  -install all the software business for our build

  -stop the machine (no sysprep is run)

  -model of the virtual machine

  Now, when I deploy a vm' in this model and select: Customize will not... machinery recently deployed still would be Sysprep and made unique?

  Thank you

  Dryv

  How can I make sure my get sysprep machines would be?

  very simple.

  Use vCenter customization specification Manager, PR Cutomization Spec File for Windows, specify the Hostname of the virtual machine, the license key, network settings and check generate new largest SID.

  See next post where someone has explained how to do this step by step activity.

  Creation and use of VMware Guest customization Specification"blog of Adrian Costea

  now, when deploying the new VM model of yours, please check customize Guest OS-> select spec file. customization you created. and continue with the deployment.

  Rest will be done for you, as your newly deployed machine will be syspreped,

  This way you won't have to worry about SID, but at the same time many other things will be also supported.
