• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

• How to connect sql database to esxi to save all data from the virtual machine

  How to connect sql database to esxi to save all data from the virtual machine

  Please provide steps

  In simple terms, you cannot connect ESXi to SQL. Connect a vCenter SQL (Windows only).

  If you want to save all the data that is contained in your virtual machines, I suggest a backup solution.

• After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove VC

  Hello

  I had a couple of machines to import the configuration of another admin... After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove the virtual machines, I imported VC? I now have more need to fight them with VC. LM depends on of these always after import?

  I do not believe, but you can rename the folder and see if something is complaining.  If it isn't, it is probably safe to delete.

• No network connection between the virtual machines on different hosts ESXi

  I have several 5.0 ESXi hosts in a cluster managed by vCenter Server 5 and I have network problems:

  1. [Host A] running a virtual machine can ping any other computer virtual running on the [host A] great!
  2. A virtual machine running on host [B] can ping any other virtual machine running on [B] home - very well!
  3. [host A] (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running on [B] home - even better!
  4. [B] home (from the ESXi console) can ping any virtual machine running [host A] - beautiful set!
  5. A virtual machine running [host A] can not ping any virtual computer running on host [B] and vice versa - bad, very bad!

  So basically the problem is that the virtual machines can communicate on hosts. It is a major problem that I need to fix, for obvious reasons.

  Networking on all hosts is configured exactly the same way: a unique and standard vSwitch with a pair of gigabit network cards grouped, vmkernels configured for the vMotion, NFS and network management and a group of ports configured for the VIRTUAL local area network used by the VMs. (vMotion works fine on hosts, storage vMotion works very well too.) All virtual machines are servers Windows (2003 and 2008).

  Reason #3 and #4 above, my assumption is that #5 must be the result of an ESXi/vCenter configuration issue and not a problem with the switches of material upstream. Is this a reasonable assumption?

  Whatever it is, can anyone offer suggestions on how can I fix? It is quite annoying as I'm pretty sure that these hosts are configured in the same manner as those of our production cluster, which does not at all these problems!

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.

  To be honest, it looks like a problem with your physical network-

  How is the physical network configured - are NIC connects it to the same physical switches? Are the virtual machines on the same subnet? If this is not the case, they are able to ping the gateway sbnet? Can you piing host IP address from the virtual machines?

  I also moved it to a forum more approiate.

• HA does not restart the computer from the virtual machine

  Hello

  I have two ESX in a cluster.  ESX 1 have an XP machine. When I stop esx 1, the machine automatically goes to ESX 2 and has not restarted?

  I though that the machine needs to be restarted, but it does not restart. Is it supposed to the case that it does not restart?

  TKS

  Hello

  The virtual machine power on or off the power on esx2?

  What will HA is to turn off the XP on ESX1 when it is isolated from the network (which means unable to ping the default gateway) then ESX 2 will import and turn it on. Therefore, this

  will require a reboot. You must set the response of isolation to "turn off" so that it works. The easist HA of test is to unplug the network cable from the service console. This

  will trigger the isolation.

• VMWare Fusion makes a break from the virtual machine because the disk is almost full.

  Is I myself am sitting at my computer this morning, I saw a message that says the guest system Windows XP Pro on my Mac Mini has been suspended.  Here is the message:

  "VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I can't find a way to shut down Windows to resize hard disk space allocation.  I tried the Virtual Machine menu, but all the shut down/put off the power points are grayed out.

  Any ideas out there?

  You must read the message!

  BTW if force you the VM to the bottom you may corrupt the virtual system hard disk and or the VHD file and you need to just do as the message says and free up space on the OS X hard disk even if you temporarily move a few things on an external hard drive so that you can then reactivate the Virtual Machine and continue on the it.

• Cannot move the virtual machine to another host

  Here's the situation... I am running 3 ESX 4.0 host in a cluster and I upgrade the memory on these hosts.  I put one day and now I want to use vmotion to move a virtual machine to host more memory, so I can then turn off host 2 to add more memory.

  When I try to migrate the computer to another virtual host he said "the virtual machine must be powered down for that purpose."

  I did it before with success when I first created this group with the HA and DRS settings are enabled.

  Now, I can't do this and I don't know what setting or what changed to cause it to not allow me to manually migrate a virtual computer on one host to another.

  If I wanted to put an ESX host in "Maintenance Mode" thinking that it will automatically move all VM for 2 other hosts in the cluster is not it either... I get a message saying that ' a host into maintenance mode does not any virtual machine functions... blah... blah... and continues to complete the entry into maintenance mode, all virtual machines must be closed or moved to another host. "  Manual intervention may be required.

  Again, I think that if a host is down these VMs would be move... that of the whole point of a cluster but doesn't seem to put in maintenance mode to allow them to go unless I turn off the virtual machine

  Any ideas?

  Go is one of the requirements of vMotion. The message after you had corrected the condition, I'm sure would be erased after awhile.

• Unable to start the CD player Win2003 Server / removable on the virtual machine: VMware-8(Host: Win7)

  

  Hello

  I am unable to start Win 2003 Server CD disk / removable on a Virtual Machine (the two VMWare 6 and 8). The snap-snap-in error is attached. I have the right configuration of the BIOS to Boot priority, but is taking the PXE ROM option.

  Please help me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. it doesn't matter that the 'connected' is checked which is normal. "Connect at power on" is important and must be checked that it is on the screenshot.

  2. now, change the "autodetect" option to point to your 'real' cdrom device (that this laptop has).

  3 If this does not convert your cdrom ISO image 2003 and load through the second option that says "use an iso image.

  4. If this still does not work there is only one possible "your 2003 cdrom is NOT bootable. The fact that it autoruns IN Win7 does not mean that is bootable. You should check by placing it in a different machine of cdrom, restart this computer, bios in order to boot from CDROM/DVD first and see if the change boots. If it does not start even from there then for sure this cd is NOT bootable. So, the important thing is to load the cd on time to start and not inside the operating system to work.

  5. try to download an iso of the trial of the internet windows Server 2003 and use that one to see what is happening.

  6. create a new virtual machine and try here or even better to try another machine with Workstation 8 and see what happens.

  7. it is no coincidence if the CD-ROM drive is not recognized within the virtual machine.

• One migrated from my virtual machine to another host VSphere and it does not start

  I have a virtual machine that I've initially converted to Hyper-V to host VSphere. After I did it would start very well, but I got up two errors when starting.

  "An IDE controller is found but the VM does not support the option" and

  "A plate supporting the option not found."

  When I looked at the hard drive in the settings it looks like it is not supported. Is it because I badly converted to Hyper-V to VSphere using VMWare Converter?

  But now, I configure VCenter Server and tested a migration of these machines to another host and using the VSphere Client. It does not start now. I get an error message that says.

  "Device 'drive hard 1' uses a controller that is not supported." This is a general limitation of the compatibility of the virtual machine with the selected host ESXi version. »

  Remember that it is the same VSphere host it is running on initially. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  If it works now - is that correct? n ' forget not to award points useful and/or correct

  I removed these entries;

  ide0:0. FileName = 'PIC-JVM-v0001 - 000001.vmdk ".
  IDE1:0. Present = 'TRUE '.
  IDE1:0.clientDevice = 'TRUE '.
  IDE1:0. DeviceType = "cdrom-raw"
  IDE1:0.startConnected = "FALSE".
  ide0:0. Redo = «»
  IDE1:0. FileName = ' / usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/windows.iso '.
  scsi0:0. DeviceType = "scsi-passthru.
  scsi0:0. FileName = ' / vmfs/devices/cdrom/mpx.vmhba1:C0:T0:L0 '.
  scsi0:0.allowGuestConnectionControl = "FALSE".

  And added to them;

  ide0:0.clientDevice = 'true '.
  ide0:0. DeviceType = "cdrom-raw"
  ide0:0.startConnected = "false".
  scsi0:0. FileName = 'PIC-JVM-v0001 - 000001.vmdk ".
  scsi0:0. DeviceType = "scsi-disk" hard
  scsi0:0. Redo = «»

  Although there is a high probability that the other six you have to do will be similar to this, they will have to be assessed individually and modified accordingly.

  See you soon,.

• Placeholder Virtual Hardware Version different from the virtual machine active

  Hi all

  This is my first post to the community, so please be nice :-)

  I'm looking for after an ESXi U2 with MRS 5.5 5.1 environment and I have a problem I hope you can help me with?

  After an update of the all virtual V7 and V8 to V9 material throughout the environment recently, I noticed that is not reflected in the placeholder SRM on those virtual machines information placeholder. I hope it's just an aesthetic issue, but I don't want to get into a situation of DR and find that it is a question then (or it is systematic of a bigger problem!). I know I can do a test failure to confirm, but I'm not in that position at the moment as the company policy says I can only do the test during a maintenance window that is not for a while...

  I thought that the easiest option would be to "Recreate a Placeholder" in [groups] but this is grayed out on (which I suppose is because the protection status is "OK")... Protection status gives me some comfort, but this gap in information gives me a bad feeling...

  Your help and your advice would be appreciated!

  Crispy

  Hi crispy, welcome in the community :-)

  What happens if you go to the Protection Group, select a virtual machine, right-click and remove Protection, and then set it up again?

  These procedures will remove the placeholder VM and recreate without doubt using new hardware version... but do not forget that the ESXi host at the target site must be compatible with the new version of hardware.

• Roles of server separate from the virtual machine on a server?

  Hello

  I'm currently learning the server admin so please forgive my ignorance.

  I bought a server and got Win Server R2 2012. Im trying to focus by trial and error and so want to install multiple roles - that I know is not recommended because some may conflict or cause additional problems etc etc - I am not in an operational environment, but trying to imitate such.

  I've read elsewhere that you can put different roles of server on the individual virtual machines - say, for example, the print server role is on a VM that is separate to a file server role, and she needs to be restarted or goes down for some reason any you loose a single service.

  My questions are the following:

  Is this possible?

  Is this desirable?

  Whats software is used to implement this if yes?

  Hyper-V can be used?

  Thank you in advance.

• Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter: Activate the virtual machines on a host KVM

  Hello

  I bought four licenses for sale at retail of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. With the license of data center, I have the right to install a number of Windows Server R2 instances unmlimited 2012 on the physical machine with the associated license.

  The question now is: How can I activate Windows in virtual machines?

  As virtualization host, I use KVM, AVMA is not possible. I need a KMS host key to set up a KMS host. I tried to use my product key for the retail license but the VMAT does not accept the key, because it's a KMS - no key. Where should I paste my product key for the KMS host key?

  Kind regards
