• More small footprint of guest operating system that can run in nested ESXi5

  Hi friends,

  I use VMWARE workstation 8 drive ESXi5 and vCenter. Now I want to test the HA, can someone please suggest the guest operating system, I only need networking in this guest operating system, so I can test the AP. As it is nested ESXi5, all other Windows OS has taken a lot of time to install and operate.

• 32-bit guest operating system installed on ESXi 5 but still shows CPU 64-bit

  Hi all:

  I installed a guest operating system 32-bit RH6.2 on ESXi 5

  

  But when I try to create 32-bit applications, it seems that the CPU is 64-bit

  

  Is this something that I'm not just doing?

  Thank you very much

  Morgan Yang

  The virtual machine behaves exactly like a physical machine in this regard.  Installation of a 32 bit OS does not make your CPU a 32-bit CPU.

  If you want to disable the 64-bit mode, add the following advanced configuration option:

  monitor_control.disable_longmode = TRUE

• CPU pegged at 100% in the guest operating system

  Hi all

  New to this forum, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. Note that I'm not our VMware admin, but rather, I have a server I have to admin that has been converted to VM via the P V. apparently process, our group has converted nearly 50 PMs successfully and of course one of mine is the only one who has a problem now. We have a custom application that has been developed to synchronize data between ESRI GIS and databases SAP. The code is about 7 years old and runs on a version of Oracle (9.2) and is Java based, both on the same vintage. It is not possible to upgrade by the creator going out of business and not having is not the source code. I ask this to understand that the problem is probably with the programming, but thought it was worth it.

  Anyway, one of our guard batch process fail with a Java out of memory error on the virtual machine. It works well on the PM. A consultant ran the diagnosis with a Profiler memory on the virtual machine and concluded that the program never went beyond 256 MB and we have 1 GB allocated to the guest. We now consider the CPU issues. The only other thing we know is different is a matter of hyperthreading (HT). The PM is certainly HT'd (1 physical CPU showing that 2) and it does not appear that this setting met on the virtual machine. When you run the package on the PM, we see 2 CPUs in the Task Manager, and neither hits 100% for more than a few seconds for the whole process. On the virtual machine, we see a flatlined CPU and it is 100% most of the time until it fails about 15 min in.

  The sysinfo on the virtual machine shows a 2400 MHz CPU, while the PM shows (2) 3400 MHz CPU (due to HT). I checked all my other virtual machines, and they are all 'show' 2400 MHz, so this must be a virtual standard machine type? I think that the virtual computer guest has access to the CPU ramp according to the needs, but then I'm not clear why the task manager would show that he attached the entire lot? It is likely that task manager prompt indicates whether flatlined to 100% of a 2400 Mhz CPU, even if she isn't really the most? If this is really the most, our admin should not be able to increase the dedicated CPU (I looked at the console with him and did not see an obvious option for this)? Is it possible to enable hyperthreading on the * comments * OS to mimic what has had on the PM? We cannot add another CPU to the guest due to licensing issues. Oh yes, the guest operating system is windows server 2003 and VMware ESXI 4.1 server. Thank you very much!

  G

  The speed of the CPU that you see is the speed of the physical processor in ESXi hosts. You cannot increase this speed, however - licensing - usually, you can assign two vCPUs, virtual machine as a dual CPU core instead of 2 processors. This option has been added to ESXi 4.1. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010184 for more details.

  What you need to do is to set the number of processors to 2 and add the advanced parameter cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2.

• Help. The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine. WHY?

  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?

  Dear team,

  We have mix U1 ESX5.1 and ESXi5.5U2 environment.

I would also like to confirm that they said that this applies to 5.0.x and 5.1.x.

  

  need your urgent help on the same.

  concerning

  Mr. VMwrae

  Ko 2033723, the affected guest operating system is Windows Server 2012 (not R2) and hosts ESXi 5.0 Update 1 or ESXi 5.0 P03... then I think you should just avoid using this version of the build host, given that the VMware compatibility shows that Windows Server R2 2012 is compatible only with ESXi 5.0 Update 2 and later versions.

  On the other KBs, make sure to read workaround, and everything will be OK.

• The VM startup slow down, delay long before the guest operating system begins startup

  Evaluation of VMWare to set up the VM for the maintenance of the software. Set up a virtual machine, install Windows 7 SP1 32-bit, everything works well. Once started, the performance is excellent.

  The symptom is that when you start the virtual machine, either starting from cold boot or suspend, there is a significant delay before the power of VMware on / start screen is displayed. Once it appears, the operating system starts starting (or the recovery of wakefulness) quickly and performance is normal after that. During the start-up period, the whole system is insensitive, host and guest operating system.

  See the extract of newspaper below to 09:54:28.619 moment where the delay occurs followed by the entry concerning 09:55:11.625 time when start continues, a delay of 43 seconds during which nothing seems to happen and the system does not respond. After that, everything is fast.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  I know what you want to say as I've seen sometimes as well. But especially on older hardware or if there are problems with regard to particular resources. For example I saw this on an ESX host (yes I know product different) where there was a problem with the storage not enough providing IOPS / s.

  I saw also this on older versions of Linux (IIRC 7) workstation where the host had an Atom based CPU, there I updated to more RAM and a more recent version of the workstation and the problem disappeared.

  Then I also saw it on the 4/5 merger when my host operating system was out of memory and I tried to start another operating system to prompt anyway.

  I do not consider a normal behavior for the slow start and does not respond, it is an indication that the hypervisor is seeking some resources, but does not receive them fast enough.

  The reasons can be many. Indeed things like antivirus could be biting you if she tries to analyze all files (including virtual disks) at their opening.

  FWIW, I also understand the support response as would be expected if your host is a bit thin on the resources (for example, trying to start a VM 1 GB on a host Win7 with only 3.5 GB of RAM) and if the virtual machine runs OK after the initial startup delay, it's mostly just an annoyance.

• Performance problem with the guest operating system

  Hello gurus - I have one of the most unusual questions, I ran into a few time.   Here it is:

  I have a guest w2008R2 OS - installed in a 5.1 version of VM 7 vSpherer - which has an Emulex LPe 12002-E 8 GB dual HBA port is assigned to the as 2 PCI (1 device per port) via DirectPath devices

  The guest operating system has an application that performs backup tests.   WWPN of the HBA is zoned in the fabric and declared in the interface of Compellent Storage Center and everything is good here. the application creates a replay of a volume, mount it as a drive, read all the blocks, then dismantles and moves then repeat the process with what ever additional volumes should be safeguarded.   It is so cool I have do this with a VM right and not a physical host?  (would be cool if I had work NPIV but that's another story, not with technology HBA vendor support...)

  So, what's the problem?   Well, the bed the mounted disk backup will work extremely slow as slow as 5MB\sec flow, then during any other activity takes place on the system the flow jumps up to 150MB\sec all of a sudden and will continue to run fast for a long time and finish jobs on time with each work taking a little more than an hour.  But when the slow going the same work (all jobs are the same, they are simply by reading all the blocks of a bunch of 200 GB volumes and wrote a set of NULL value, do not forget this is just test) takes up to 10 hours to complete.

  I think that what is the culprit?   POWER MANAGEMENT.

  I have just about each performance counter and the journal of events known to man and I don't see anything abnormal on the table, ESXi virtual machine, nothing.  But what I see in the newspapers is any kind of activity that could happen in a transparent manner to save energy.

  FACTS on this case:

  -Reservation of memory is defined (it must be for directpath otherwise, you can't power on the virtual machine)

  -Booking CPU - has not been defined before an hour ago, I gave her just a small reserve for this rule, so I do not know if this will help alleviate the slow flow, or have an effect on what I think is a question of power (unit linked) management

  -windows power management is set to high performance never-ever - but not until an hour there doesn't I changed advanced settings for USB Disabled------turned off.  PCI peripheral energy saving setting was already off.  Which is in contradiction with my theory.  But maybe, just maybe, something is broken somewhere, or could be a bug... blah blah blah

  -the HBA, Emulex, as it appears in Device Manager in the guest OS doesn't have a power management tab to disable the feature, I don't see that the adapter VMXNET3 had this tab, and I turn off the power save setting to be conservative, do not think that it was the culprit, but as there is no real data running through the NIC.  The data is simply to be read from the disk mounted, not copied on any wire Ethernet.  never the less, in the Emulex properties is a Details tab and a selection of power data, and performance data indicate you what power mode, the device is, as well as feeding supported systems.  D0: full power, but D3, which shows as supported by the device, is an energy saving mode.   I could not yet attend the setting at the time of slow activity, my good intention as soon as possible. He is currently shooting in D0, full power.

  This is so what I have to offer on this, I hope that its just...   If I'm missing something, or if others have experienced this massive loss of unknown flow without reason and have resolutions, please share.

  If there is a way for me to disable power on the Emulex HBA management inform you please, I don't mind if I stop to enter the firmware, if that was even possible.  But if possible I would disable it immediately before any new tests are executed.

  The root cause of this issue has never been identified by VMware support which for me is a question of ugly.  Reservation of CPU for the VM using directpath IO with HBA installed in it corrected the problem.  I'd be leary with direct path IO.

• Trouble installing the guest operating system

  All,

  Having trouble installing the guest operating system - Windows XP SP3. I followed the directions of the booklet that I try to boot from a local image and a CD. I can't able to get into the setup of the BIOS to start the virtual machine when you press F8. I am currently on a decentralized network that starts his BONES from a PXE server. When I turn on my VM, its shows the boot process than my actual desktop. I tried many configurations, but still problems. All instight would be useful. Thank you.

  Welcome to the forums!

  To enter the VMWare guest BIOS press F2, no F8.

  You can also add 'bios. BootDelay = 10000 "in the prompt .vmx file. This gives you more time to press F2.

  The virtual guest has a CD-ROM attached to it?

  Is it "connect to turn on?

  Is it connected to the physical machine (where the OS CD is inserted)?

• problems to receive a guest operating system

  Hello

  I have to be able to do a query on Windows 2003 virtual machines that use the BusLogic SCSI card.  However, I am having a problem just get the operating system of each guest.  Many guests (seems to be about 800 out of our 1200 guests) return a null value (I'd say less than 10 of them are turned off).  I tried with both the 1.0 version of the VI and also just upgraded to 1.5 to check that it has not been fixed.  Here again, I'm not 100% sure it's a problem with the Toolbox.  Anyway, that's what I've tried so far.

  First of all, I found a good virtual machine (vm1) and a bad VM (vm2).  I created two variables:

  $vm1 = Get-VM vm1name
  $vm2 = Get-VM vm2name
  

  Then I tried simply to list the property Guest.OSFullName of each virtual machine:

  $vm1.Guest.OSFullName <-- returned Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit)
  $vm2.Guest.OSFullName <-- returned nothing
  

  Other "guest" properties seem well as evidenced by the following output:

  "$vm2.Guest" returns:
  
  State          IPAddress            OSFullName
  -----          ---------            ----------
  Running        {1.2.3.4}
  

  The only other thing that I noticed (and I'm going to file a SR for the same problem when I am back in the office on Wednesday) is that if you view all virtual machines in the VI Client and guest OS type, there are a lot of things that just say 'unknown '.  I've noticed this on 2.0/3.0 and now I'm under U3 2.5 and 3.5 U3 everywhere.  If you simply to change the settings of the virtual machine and click OK (without making any changes to anything) it will fix the guest operating system 'unknown '.  If you click on the 'Options' of the section of edit VM settings tab, it shows the correct guest OS it.  However, after click on this tab by clicking OK causes an error message something to not be able to change this setting in the current state (power on).  Nevertheless, at the beginning I thought all the unknowns explained my missing Microsoft VMs, but there are more than 100 virtual machines or so that are listed as unknown, so I am always short way.

  Finally, I searched this topic on the forums and learned about the Get-VMGuest cmdlet, which I managed for ever noticed before.  So, I tried the following:

  $vm2 | Get-VMGuest
  

  And got the same results as above (shows its power status and the IP address, but any type of OS).  VM1 works very well with the above code.

  Does anyone have ideas on this?  I even buried down and use Get-View and pulls the. Property Guest.GuestFullName out and it is also empty.

  Hi Allen,.

  I've never known tools that are so far out of date that you do not get a guest operating system, but I wouldn't be surprised it. You should always be able to get out the Tools version number in any case (even if not Get-VMGuest in this version).

  There is a significant difference between these people that the prompt that signals the VMware Tools is the real guest OS. The comments you get Get - VM or Config.GuestFullName is the value that is set when creating the virtual machine. This value cannot be identical to the real host. For example, I could create a virtual machine, select Windows 2003, and then install Redhat on it. In this case, Get - VM would net the VM as a machine virtual Windows while the tools would (correctly) reported as Redhat.

  In general, use tools when you can. If you don't get given tools, it can be wrong.

• Cannot run the program in the guest operating system

  Hello

  I'm trying to run a program file (an .exe) in a virtual machine via vCO using executeCommandInGuest.

  The thing is that the .exe file starts a user interface to display the status (do not ask for entry) when it runs locally. When I call the script of vCO, I get the following error:

  Error while executing command (can not run the command: InternalError: a general error occurred: a program could not run on the guest operating system (name of the dynamic Script Module: executeCommandInGuest #40) (name of the dynamic Script Module: executeCommandInGuest #46))

  
  

  If I try to call a .bat file in the VM that starts the program of the WF works but the .exe file is never started in the virtual machine.

  If I specify to run another .exe for example ping.exe only complete control of WF and if I specify a .bat file that call ping.exe he also successfully complete.

  There is no silent mode for the .exe I need performed.
  

  Any help would be appreciated.
  

  Thank you

  Magnus

  The problem was caused by the user access control. Put forever does not resolve the problem, disable it through the user interface, restart the virtual machine, and then continue with my script.

• T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

  Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

  We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

  • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
  • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
  • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

  New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

  I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

  See you soon,.

• Most recent version of the guest operating system as the host of the basic version?

  H there, just a quick question.

  Would this work if guest operating system is 10.7 but host operating system is 10.6.8? I use 4 Fusion

  Very much appreciated.

  Technically by the OS X ALS detail you can only virtualize a legally virtalizable version of Mac OS X (Client) under him.  In other words under OS X 10.6 Client ALS detail allows to be virtualized so so technically the only legally virtalizable version of Mac OS X is Mac OS X Server 10.5.x/10.6.x that which is technically required by the SLA in detail and what is technically possible are two different things.  In other words we can virtualize OS X 10.7 (Client or server) but ALS retail for OS X 10.7 requires it be done on OS X 10.7.  Now VMware and VMware Fusion or not apply this requirement and it is up to the user to work in the product EULA and or SLA.

  BTW I don't remember if VMware Fusion 4 supported OS x 10.7, but if it's a selectable BONE in the wizard, then you can try though in violation of ALS retail for OS X 10.7 If you use a retail OS X 10.7.
