• Unable to connect to the virtual machine via telnet

  Hi all

  The VM on Vcenter everything is perfect with the network connection. I can't do a ping of the virtual machine remotely but I can not connect via telnet.

  For the same reason? And even more, I have disabled the fiewalls of the virtual machine (Windows 2008 R2).

  The error that says: could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

  Can you please let me know how to solve this problem?

  Since there is nothing blocking the traffic of the virtual machine in ESXi, you can begin troubleshooting in the guest OS. For example is running telnet server and configured to accept connections?

• Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely

  Hi all

  I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:

  $a = Get - VM | %{
  
  foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
  Write-output $nic. IPAddress
  }
  }
  foreach ($i in $a)
  {$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
  $b.delete)

  }

  It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject.  Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.

  I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way.  Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.

  Thank you very much!

  Best regards

  To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:

  «del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»

  Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:

  "del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"

• whenever I have to connect to the virtual machine asks me to enter login and password I can't save the credentials

  Hi, I used Windows Virtual PC XP mode for awhile and I just do a fresh install, and I'm having a problem that I seem not to be able to solve.

  After you enable the integration features, I got to the Windows Security login screen. I typed in the login and the password, but I accidentally made a mistake and could not connect. I clicked on cancel and was then in the XP login screen, where I entered then the right login and password and it me connected to the virtual machine XP without problem.

  Now, the problem I have is every time I connect to computer virtual it asks me the login and the password on the login screen of XP and I don't have the option to connect using the login Windows Security screen, so it do not give me an option to save my password and login information. So, to make things worse is that moment every time I have to resize the virtual pc it then asks me to log in again.

  Is it possible to return me to the Windows security login screen where can I put my login instead of the XP login screen when it is not an option?

• Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

  Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

  Scenario is,

  1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

  2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

  3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

  WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

  Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

  My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

  Kindly help with this problem.

  Host operating system: Victoire 2012 R2

  Thank you!!

  Dear all,

  I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

  VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

• Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

  I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

  I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

  We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

  At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

  I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
  -Created users, one per student, on the host.
  -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
  -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
  -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
  -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

  So far, it's all good.

  However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
  I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
  The role that I use for students has these settings:
  -Data store > Browse the data store
  -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
  -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
  -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
  -Configure CD media
  -Console interaction
  -Connection of the device
  -On
  -Power off
  -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
  -State > create the snapshot
  -State > go back to the snapshot

  I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

  Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

  I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

  I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

  So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

  Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

  It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

  What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

  Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

  I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

• How the snapshot of the virtual machine?

  Hi all

  We use the VDI in our Organization. We use Linked clones.

  I have to recompose all pools each week. And to recompose some users will be connected to the virtual machine. So, generally, I select wait for logof users recompose. But some of the virtual machine are not getting laid, even though the disconnection of users due to the task request has expired error. And we manually recomposing machines.

  Is it possible to know the snapshot, used by the virtual machine to the pool in the blink of an eye (i.e. What snapshot it uses if a new or old)

  Otherwise, I have to check with each virtual computer and details of the snap of this virtual machine manually. We have 900 such VMS in my environment.

  Thanks in advance.

  Go to the inventory pool, - 'See composer details' and sort on the column "last image".

• Unable to connect to the virtual machine after adding new eSATA drive

  Hello.

  I'm trying to connect my new 2 TB drive in VMWare Workstation. It is connected via eSATA to the host computer, and it works. I added the drive to the desktop as a new "physical disk." But now I can not power the workstation the most.

  (1) when I start the VMWare Workstation it right ask admin (it didn't need before).

  (2) when I turn on the prompt does not charge even the bios. It shows a rear screen with the logo of VMWare for a while and then stop saying: "VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure that you have the rights to run the program and access all directories that it uses and access rights to all directories for temporary files. »

  The host is running Windows 7 x 64. The workstation runs under the standard user account.

  Thank you.

  Hmmm - it's unexpected - works for me here - only difference: I tried with only 1 TB disks.

  You start Workstatiion as an administrator?

• How to locate a new virtual machine on a different hard disk

  VMware Fusion 3.1.1 (282344) Mac OS 10.6.4.

  I have a few virtual machines on my boot drive and am running out of space. I want to create a new Win 7 vm on a drive different but can't seem to figure out how to tell VMware to put there. I know I could create in the normal location on my boot drive and move it, but I didn't Go on the boot drive for this.

  How to create the new virtual machine on the new drive?

  Thx for advice,

  Ken

  As you walk through the Wizard New VM and you arrive at Cap sheet, you have two choices...

  One is to select the Customize settings button and the other is just click the Finish button.  Each choice made appear to save to: dialog box and you can pick any location you want.  Note that you may need to click the down arrow located right of save it under: text box to expand this worksheet to display all the options.  BTW, clicking on this button is the standard behavior of OS X and has nothing to do with the VMware Fusion in itself.

• Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist

  Guys,

  Need a little help I'm running the following

  vCenter Server 4.0.0 (build 208111)

  ESX Server 4.0.0 (build 208167)

  I have a computer virtual running WIndows 2000 Advanced and when I try and open the console I get a black screen and the error message following

  "" Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist '. "

  I scoured the data store and all the files of the virtual machine appear to be in place, I thought deletin the virtual machine from the inventory and add the vmdk file, it would be a good idea?

  Thank you.

  Remove and add new inventory won't hurt (you could lose data historial for virtual machine), it probably won't solve the problem.

  I doubt, it is a problem with the .vmx file, but you can try:

  -Remove the VM of the inventory

  -To create the new virtual machine (with the same characteristics as the virtual machine that you removed), name it differently and do not add hard drives that it

  -Change the new VM settings and add the existing VMDK virtual machine that you deleted

  -Power on VM and try

  • You should always have your complete file to the virtual machine original intact, in case you need, you will always have your original vmx file to add it to the inventory.

  By doing these steps you re-create the vmx file.

  f this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

• Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?

  SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.

  I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.

  How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?

  If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.

  This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.

  The command no longer exists in recent versions.

• Check the State of the virtual machine remotely

  Hi all

  I want to check the status of my virtual machines remotely (start, stop, reset, suspend, resume). Is there a simple way to do this?

  In fact, I am using the remote built into VMware workstation's screen but if I stop the virtual machine, I am not able to restart and go on the host computer. Is there a solution for workstation as the Web management or something else?

  Thanks for help

  See vmrun.exe in the VIX\ \Program Files\VMware\VMware directory.

  You can script a whole bunch of things quite easily.
