• 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...

• Cannot turn on the virtual machine in VMware workstation

  Hello

  I have windows 2008 stocked VM of windows 4.1.Inside ESX VM 2008 I installed VMware workstation and created the virtual machine in vmware workstation. When I have tride to power on the VM iam getting error below. Please help me.

  "Running vmware workstation in a virutal machine requires external thr virtual machine is configured to run the vmware esx host operation system.you may not power on a vierutal machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.

  Thank you

  This is the VM vmx nested - you must add this line to the external virtual machine - one who runs in ESXi

• Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0

  The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.

  Log file is attached below.

  An update of the firmware could certainly help.  After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need.  Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host.  And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.

  Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.

  See you soon,.

• How to locate the location of a VMware Workstation v10.0.3 vmdk readers when stereotypes are present.

  Re: How to find the location of a VMware Workstation v10.0.3 vmdk readers when stereotypes are present.

  Hello

  Since nearly five months, I have worked on a particular project and am reviewing me with the details of the project. The virtual machine has three virtual disks. I remember the BONES of the virtual machine as well as the first disc of the vmdk virtual machine data files are in the Windows host file containing the virtual machine. Nothing unusual so far. I remember that I put the third disk of the virtual machine on my axis f: physical, but I want to make sure that before you start again work on the project.

  I see of http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003880 we should be able to examine the vmx file and see the locations of virtual disk. What I've noticed, is that since I was a snapshot, I see this:

  scsi0:2.present = 'TRUE '.

  scsi0:2.filename = "MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk".

  So what I see in the vmx is the physical location of the disk snapshot delta and not the physical location of the vmdk.

  I also did a search for vmware vmdk files - x.log and I find:

  2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-DSCPTR: open [0]: "sample - Disk3.vmdk" (0xe)

  2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-LINK: opened 'F:\MyProject-Disk3\MyProject-Disk3.vmdk' (0xe): monolithicSparse, 83886080 sectors / 40 GB.

  2014 03-21 T 11: 35:46.964 - 04:00 | Worker #2 | I120: DISKLIB-LIB: open 'G:\VMware VMs\MyProject\MyProject-Disk3-000001.vmdk' (0xa, type monolithicSparse flags).

  So by brute force, I discovered that the parent for the VM Disk3 vmdk is the physical disk F. And even here, the only reason why I know that I have the right VM disk, because I included "Disk3" in the VM disk naming convention that I used.

  But what happens if I hadn't used a physical VM disk naming convention which did not include the name of the virtual disk of the virtual machine? How could 100% sure that the third disk of my VM was the vmdk parent that I had located on the physical disk F?

  There must be an easier way to do this for days just like that.

  I look forward to your reply.

  Kind regards...

  P.S. I noticed that if I close this virtual machine and click on the 3 hard drive (SCSI), it only shows the name of the file of the virtual delta "MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk" machine and not the parent vmdk.

  P.S. I noticed that if I close this VM and try using the disk utilities, the map shows that the path to the file delta 'MyProject-Disk3 - 000001.vmdk' and the parent vmdk.

  Virtual disk snapshot files have the file name of the virtual disk parent included in the file descriptor hard (text file), or in the hard data file according to the format of the virtual disk. In the case of a monolithic virtual disk format (i.e. a hard single file), you may need to use a hex editor to find the 'parentFileNameHint' somewhere between 0x200 and 0x400.

• Monitoring VM - how to restart the virtual machine

  Hi all

  Hit a problem in our environment that can not be solved, but wanted to tender hand to people and see if they have found a way to replace.

  Currently have followed vm enabled in our cluster. Thing is watching us to restart the virtual machine VMware tools demonstrated to a status of "not running" - now, the key is to most of the definitions, the system is available in this case, can be crazy, RDP'ed etc, but we here again them restarted as he finally solves the issue we see (for example unable to connect via citrix for the machines in question)

  Duncan in the post below highlights in order to avoid false positives any i/o to storage/network activity will be verified after that heatbeats failed to "double check" there is a problem with the virtual machine

  Favorite VM monitoring (aka VM HA) - yellow bricks

  What I asked is it possible to replace verification of network storage/IO activity and then restart the virtual machine VMware tools on them stops as soon as?

  Many tx for all thoughts

  «.. . is there a way to replace check network activity of storage/IO and then restart the virtual machine of VMware tools on them stops as soon as...? »

  You can always use a supervision-process inside the virtual machine for this tool (perhaps more followed VM). It acts independently and allows much finer control, i.e. it can try first (re) start vm-tools before restarting. Same BSOD /-kernel panic can be dealt with by VM itself. It can actually be even more robust, not dependent on VMware infrastructure.

• How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

  How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

  If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case.   If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

• 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 move the Virtual Machine VMWare Workstation 10 to a completely different computer

  I have a laptop that is going to become my 'old' laptop, I bought and am always set up a new computer.

  I have a VM THAT evolution created on the 'old' portable using VMWare Workstation 10.  I installed the software VMWare Workstation 10 on the new laptop computer and am ready to move to the existing VM development since the old laptop again to continue the development of software on the virtual machine to the new machine.

  I never moved a computer virtual from one computer to another, and I guess that all I have to do is to copy and move the folder and all its content from the old laptop to the new, and then I'll be back in business?

  Just make sure it is this simple before doing so.

  Thanks for any input.

  It's as simple as that. When you start in the new machine, it should ask if you copied or moved. Answer that you moved it will keep the same MAC address and you will not be able to connect the two copies at the same time. You copied it saying assigns a new MAC and they both can connect, but a Windows machine can ask to reactivate. Seems to me he asked also to reactivate when I copied it for an Intel system AMD system, but it was a long time ago

• How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?

  Hello

  I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?

  In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.

  Thank you.

  vmjunki wrote:

  You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.

  Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.

  You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

• How to create the virtual machine to a virtual machine existed file?

  I have two hard drives on my VMware host. There are virtual machines on a SATA drive, how do I list these files of virtual machines and copy one of them to create a new virtual machine (it can save a lot of my time!). I did this way on VMware server 2.0 because I can see what they were and where they were under Windows. But on vSphere, how can I do? Maybe you guys have other ways to do it?

  Thank you!

  George

  On vSphere, I suggest you use autonomous vConventer instead. It is quite simple and easy to use. Alternatively, you can copy or clone the virtual disk to the virtual machine via the Console (ESX) Service offline

• Activate the Virtual Machine start and stop

  Hello

  I'm not activate Virtual Machine Startup and shutdown I don't know what is right.

  

  Hello

  This is the VMware KB which provide a workaround to enable this option for VMs on ESXi hosts in cluster HA active.

  VMware KB: Automatic Virtual Machine Startup / Shutdown in ESXi hosts in a cluster VSA is turned off

  Last time (couple of years back), when I was researching on this topic, I found that these settings are applied only when the virtual machine is on the same host ESXi, and once his migrated to another ESXi host for this VM autostart option is lost and needs to be reconfigured again. I don't know if this behavior changed with new versions of vSphere.

  I hope this helps.

• How to work the Optimus compared to VMware Workstation 8 with enable 3D

  Hi, I am doing some performance tests in VMware Workstation

  There are some improvements to run VMware using the Nvidia card or there is no improvement at all, and it's better to use default Intel card?

  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate host and as a guest Windows 7 Ultimate so I can compare with the windows experience.

  Host:

  

  Comments:

  

  Another thing I found interesting is why the performance of the hard disk are the same, but the memory is quite low in comparation with the speed of the host

  Is it normal? Can I improve the performance of the memory procesor or 3D in some way?

  As the comparation that I am very interested in the functioning of memory per second.

  There is always some trouble when virtual hardware running and it is not that you can do to improve except to avoid paging, the latest version of VMware Workstation and have the updated drivers.

  The Windows experience index is also a pretty poor excuse for reference so according to what are your objectives is better there tools like pass etc.
