• Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

  When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

  After searching a bit I found this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

  The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

  vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
  Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

  So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

  BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

  Okay, that means, is not in your server room.

  Your computer has several available ethernet network interfaces: eth0, eth0: 0,

  eth0: 1, eth0:2, eth0:3. Which do you want to bridge vmnet0?

  Your server has only one physical ethernet interface. But there are multiple ip addresses configured on it. If you want to know, how it works and how it is configured, you can read this page.

  You need to reconfigure your network VMware Server 2 to fill the other or several networks. VMware Server documentation is explained on p. 222 and following. In fact, for linux, it is page 229 and includes 'ifconfig' to know what special device (eth0: 0...) what IP address, then run ' vmware - config.pl ' is used to assign the new configuration. But please read the documentation for more details.

• Conversion of the virtual machines in VMWare Server 1.0.5 to vSphere Enterprise

  I have a couple of windows XP virtual machines running on VMWare Server 1.0.5.  Can someone point me to instructions for turning them into vSphere (ESXi 4)? The conversion occurs in the vCenter Server or with a separate program?  Thank you!

  VMware Converter, which is integrated with vCenter Server and the Client must be able to do this by directing it to the virtual VMware Server 1.0.5 computer files.  You just need to save the pluggin converter in the Client to use vCenter converter function.

• Import of existing virtual machines to VMware server

  My company has several virtual machines created with VMware Server 2.0.  We want to do a proof of concept for virtualization in production using ESXi environment.  Instead to install guest OS on a new machine of ESXi freash, is it possible to import a virtual machine created in VMware Server 2.0?  This should earn a quite some time.  Also, if possible, ESXi accesses a UBS device to copy the files of the virtual machine locally, that is, a USB HDD?  If this is not the case, can use us the VM converter to move to ESXi?

  Thanks for your help.

  RC

  Check the converter.  Probably the easiest option.

• Unable to ping Virtual Machines between VMWare

  I currently have two VM installed and have two Windows XP.  I can ping the computer host for virtual machines, but I can't use a ping on the other. VM - get "Request timed out".  Two virtual machines are in network NAT configuration.  I also tried to put on a team, but they still cannot ping each other. Did I miss something? - I think that changing the Bridge connections can work, but I think that NAT should also work. - especially when they are in a team.

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Make sure that the security/AntiVirus/firewall software does not block ICMP requests and if need be, temporarily disable the firewall/AntiVirus/security software during the test.   Note also that some AntiVirus/firewall/security software fix protocols on the network that are still activated card to temporarily disable the firewall/AntiVirus/security software.

  If it does not then need to see output of the ipconfig/all command on the host and the guests.

  Copy & paste the following commands, as is, and then press ENTER...

  On the host computer in a in a command prompt. (Start > all programs > Accessories > prompt)

  ipconfig /all > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\host_ipconfig.txt"
  

  This will create a file on the desktop of the host named host_ipconfig.txt

  On the guests in a command prompt. (Start > all programs > Accessories > prompt)

  ipconfig /all > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\guest_ipconfig.txt"
  

  This will create a file on the client named guest_ipconfig.txt Office

  Note: Of course change the name of the guest_ipconfig.txt file to make the difference between the guests.

  Archive the files together unreleased and attach the .zip file to a response message.

  I installed ESXi 3.5 on my test lab server and all I see is an option to import a device and not a VM.

  This feature is still available?

  Thank you

  Yes, this feature is available, but it will take VMware Converter - this will allow you to go to your VM VMware Server ESX/ESXi.

• Inaccessible virtual machines on VMware Server 2.0 Linux

  I'm sure it's something simple.  Everything was fine until 2 days ago. Newly added VMs and data warehouses would record no problem, but after a reboot, everything is inaccessible. The web interface is painfully slow.  I decided to keep things simple and start with 1 data store and 2 virtual machines.  Config files attached. Under ubuntu 9.04

  Any help would be appreciated.

• Are there problems in the creation of a virtual machine in VMware Workstation or Server and then move it to ESXi?

  Hello

  I intend to pass our mailserver's current installation of Windows Server 2003 running on native hardware in a Windows Server 2008 running in a virtual machine on ESXi.

  This is the same machine as we will reuse so I would prefer to be able to create the virtual machine on a different computer and test it before wiping Windows and install ESXi. Are there problems with the creation of the virtual machine in VMware Server and then migrate to ESXi using VMware Converter? I won't if the result is not a 'perfect' virtual machine that performs as well as if it had been created on ESXi from the beginning.

  All our other VMs were created on ESXi from the beginning.

  Kind regards

  René Frej Nielsen

  If you are not sure, you can load VMware Server 2 and then install ESXi in it and test your configuration.  Do all this from your desktop (as it is decent).  You can also do in my computer.  A quick google search should give you all the information you need to get something like this configuration.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

  Hi team,

  I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

  Following is the error message:

  "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

  So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

  Thanks in advance,

  It's even easier than that

  Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

  Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

• Transfer of virtual machines from a server ESXi 3.5 to new ESXi 4.1 server. What is the procedure.

  I read on how to transfer a virtual machine from one server to another using VMotion. Not 100% clear on the process again. What I see or read is when you do this since an ESXi 3.5 Server ESXi 4.1 server, I do not see any information on, if possible. In addition, I have not read if I need to convert or upgrade the virtual machine until I use it on the new server. So, my question is, are there any special instructions, conversion tools to convert a VM created 3.5 to use on the new Server 4.1? Is there a detailed procedure that I have not yet found or read best describes this process. Like I said up to now I'm not 100% clear on the procedure. Thank you.

  ESX 3.5 VMs can run without modification on a host ESXi 4.1 - VMotion between the two hosts, you will stiil need to ensure CPU compatibility between the hosts.

  Maybe it's the best guid for upfrading to vSphere - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf

• How to move the vm for VMware Server ESXi

  I have a host with ESXi 3.5 and I want to move virtual machines to a different machine with VMware Server 2.

  Any idea how to do to move the virtual machine?

  Thank you

  You can use VMware Converter (free copy).  When you install it convert you a machine and select the Virtual Machine of VMware Infrastructure as the virtual source then Machince as destination.
