How to mount vmdk using vmware-mount as persistent?

• error in editing esxi3.5 vmdk using vmware - mount.exe

  VMware - mount.exe (5.5.0 / 18463) is installed on a physical box all new xp sp3.

  VMDK files were copied on the ESXi data store using putty pscp. Name.vmdk reviews and comments name - flat hard are present.

  VMware - mount.exe j: "\Guest name - flat hard" fails

  If I rename the files to remove the spaces and edit the primary vmdk file to point to the new - name of flat file, editing does not always work.

  The error on the command line (not a message box) in all cases is:

  "Unable to mount the virtual drive.  The disk can be used by a virtual

  machine or mounted under a different drive letter.  If not, check that the

  Is a virtual disk file, disk and that the disk file has not been damaged.

  I checked the user guide and any of the limitations apply except maybe one:

  -vm not running (and did not work when they are copied), ok

  -host windows, windows comments, ok

  -not in read-only or compressed, ok

  -j: mapping is superior to d: and don't use it, ok

  -vmdk is ntfs, ok

  -No snapshots involved, ok

  as far as the error message itself goes:

  -vm not running (and did not work when they are copied), ok

  -do not already mounted, ok

  -certainly a vmdk file, ok

  -do not corrupt (can restart the VM), ok

  I suppose there is the possibility that vmdk FFL was damaged in the copy; is there a way to check it (md5 in ESXi maybe)?

  What is the only element not specified in the user (from 2008) guide - vmware-mount support ESXi 3.5 vmdk files? ESX 3.x is taken in charge, but ESXi?

  If not what else can I check?

  Thank you

  do not use this Centenary vmware-mount - use the last VDDK virtual disk development kit =.

  Also rename files to remove the spaces is prohibited: use quotes.

  Not mount the - flat.vmdk - that is not the right one

  ESXi does not provide the option of mounting ISOs. You try to install the driver the driver Async package be2net / ISO. Follow the steps below

  (1) install VCLI
  (2) mount the ISO on the host where you installed vcli
  (3) use vihostupdate to install the driver

• 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:

• How to launch and use the VMware tools

  After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

  Purpose:

  Laboratory at home training and certification.

  Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

  SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

  Software environment:

  64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

  VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

  VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

  VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

  I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

  VMware Tools:

  Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

  I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

  In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

  "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

  ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

  Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

  Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

  I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

  http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

  So next step that we did was
  1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
  2 restarted the VM
  3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
  4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
  5 Rebooted
  6. install the VMware tools
  7 Rebooted

  The issue is not reproducible after the same

  
  NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

  No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

  Hello

  If you mean how to access the e-Business Suite from the virtual machine, and then you just navigate to the same URL as you would normally. You may need to put the alias of the machine in your hosts file if you reference it via the name of the computer rather than the IP address.

  If you mean you want to load the form in the form designer (for example) then you will need to FTP the form from the server to the client (as you normally would), then open it in your client (XP virtual machine).

  If you want to use the workflow designer (according to your initial condition) then you must ensure that the TNSNAMES.ora file in workflow Home Builder has an entry for your instance on Linux, and then you should be able to connect to the database directly.

  HTH,

• How to create a computer virtual file VHD using VMWare Player?

  I created a .vhd file using disk2vhd which contains my drive system (a Windows 7 installation). I would like to create a virtual machine using VMware Player of this image, but I have been unable to do. Can someone help me?

  Thank you very much

  Mike

  You were quite right about the execution of my VM from an external drive USB - no problem at all.

  Today experiences confirm that:

  (a) I can run my VMS on Windows 7 and Windows 8 from an external USB

  (b) VMPlayer can create files hard greater than 2 TB in size (on Windows 7 and Windows 8 guests)

  (c) I can't reach my Data.VHDX file on my Windows 8 host

  (d) I can set up as a shared folder inside my VM on Windows 8

  (e) I can copy files from the shared folder to a drive on my virtual machine.

  Certainly, this closes this discussion - thanks a lot for your help.

• How to control the uses of the VMWare NICs?

  I use VMWare Workstation 6!

  I want to know the use of VMS NICs: rates current (MB/s) and a total traffic of NICs in a time interval.

  VMware can do?

  Thank you!

  Hello.

  If you use Windows, you can use (start-> Run-> Perfmon) performance monitor.  Best results will probably be achieved using a counter log.

  Add the VMware object and you can select the network for network bytes transferred/sec counter

  Let it run awhile and then view the results.

  Good luck!

• Fusion records instant non-OS on a different computer using VMWare Workstation 11 virtual

  I recently had a guest OS VM frequently crash that had some shots that are associated with.  I had an OS VMDK disk as a secondary data VMDK disk.  I couldn't go back to the snapshot because it would mean that I would lose all my data on my disk of secondary data.

  I look forward moved and deleted from the OS disk drives data to another guest VM VMDK and attempted to use it only to see all the files on the secondary data disk.

  However, when I tried to mount the drive of secondary data in a guest VM, I couldn't so to find all the files in the snapshot.

  Is it possible for me to merge the data between the 2 shots in the drive to have a single consolidated file?

  I tried to try to run a command in r - vmware - vdiskmanager.exe, but I think that the parent disk has been converted to a newer version, so he put the 2 discs out of sync and I got this error message:

  VMware - vdiskmanager.exe: VixDiskLib: invalid configuration file setting. Failed to read the configuration file.

  Cannot convert the disc: the virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created. Content of the virtual disk that ID does not match the ID of parent to the child to the parents content

  (0x3e88).

  Please advise as to how to get these consolidated data between my photos on my secondary data disk.

  Can please provide an example of how to do this using the dsfi.exe command because I'm not familiar with this command and the documentation on the site doesn't seem to much enlighten on how to accomplish what you have described in your answer.

  Thanks again.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  Assuming that you have checked the first 1536 bytes using dsfo.exe, backup and then edit this file and then use dsfi.exe to inject the file changed in the hard file again by using the following syntax:

  DFC

  for example: DFC.exe vmname.vmdk 1536 0 modified_file.bin

  Prior to the injection of the modified file, check that it sill has the same size and allows to check that only the parentCID has been changed e.g. fc/b extracted_file.bin modified_file.bin .

  There are two reasons, the internal help file is displayed.  Being the command vmware-vdiskmanager is executed without arguments, and the other is a bad command line, including the last one is the problem in your use case!

  You have not included the "/ path/to/targetDisk.vmdk" as in:

  I am currently deployment of VMWare view for the first time in a test environment and have hit a problem I have not been able to get around despite several searches on google and trial and error.

  Hoping that someone here could suggest something.

  View the VMWare versions are all 6.0.1.

  vCenter is on a device.

  VMWare view connection manager is on a 2012 R2 VM server.

  VMWare view dial is on a separate server 2012 R2 VM.

  I have a 2012 SQL on a separate server 2012 R2 VM Server installation.

  SQL databases have been set up for the composer to be able to reach it, it uses ODBC 64-bit via SQL Server Native Client 11.0.

  I tried troubleshooting by exchanging 32-bit, but this is not connected, it seems so 64 bit is correct.

  I have a windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition VM under my Golden image. There are VMWare tools on it and the VMWare agent on it.

  The virtual ipconfig/release performed top machine, he was then stop and a snapshot taken as my source.

  The problem is that when I go to deploy a pool of offices, I get the above error.

  If I connect to the VM created via vCenter readers persistent and temporary show very well.

  Based on the error, I tried different settings such as change the path for the reader of DVD VMs of D: to Z:, spread unique persistence and the temporary disks on multiple data-stores or data stores and even remove the drive of DVD of VMs completely. I have also looked at newspapers under composer view but find nothing to explain the behavior.

  SQL Server seems to work for configuration through the error logs and virtual machines are created and added to AD as expected.

  I must point out that the virtual machines are as linked clones.

  Can anyone offer a clue as to the cause or something, I can check it please, did everything I can think and Googling the error does not come to the top with something useful so far.

  Thank you

• VM backup using VMware Consolidated Backup

  Hello

  I have ESX 3.5 Update4

  can someone explain pls howto backup computer virtual using VMware Consolidated Backup?

  Well,.

  There is a "VCB" that can be used in the COS of your ESX by running the command as shell vcbMounter. But most of the people using the Windows package "VCB 1.5" so just install it on any windows machine. Don't forget that you need disk space for storing images FullVM or a connected tape drive is required.

  After installation, change the config/config.js to match your needs. It provides some general parameters and default values. If you use a San or any iSCSI storage do not forget to run "diskpart automount disable" and 'diskpart automount scrub' first befor all required LUNS mounting.

  Now start playing with vcbMounter.exe. Remember that by default I have '-san m "is used which try to read data directly from the SAN. If you do not have a SAN using "m ndb" rather than transfer the data via the ESX host.

  VMware provides some PDF documents on the use of VCB and also the "my learn" section provides useful information.
