• vmreconfig.pl add a CD/DVD device will fail if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl

  I am trying to add a cdrom to my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl.

  When I use the script vmreconfig.pl to create the cdrom I get the following error...

  Cannot use a value that is not defined as a reference to a matrix to/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/vm /... AppUtil/VMUtil.pm line 898.

  OK so I have create a cdrom in vSphere and try again manually...

  Addition of the cd 'cd '...
  Virtual machine 'vmname4' is reconfigured successfully.

  OK, so I think that my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl missing the ide0: 0 or something...

  Any suggestions on how I can do this?

  I'm doing the following...

  1. create the virtual machine by using vmcreate.pl.

  2. Add the CDrom to the virtual machine using vmreconfig.pl.

  Thanks in advance.

  Just watched this.

  The vmreconfig.pl script does not handle the case of a device not defined in the VirtualIDEController object array.

  Look like the real device table is not defined until an IDE device is actually connected (or when a new IDE device is added).  I'm not 100% sure of what generates the actual peripheral table off the coast of the VirtualIDEController, but the case of a table of undefined device should be handled in the script to reconfigure.

  I can see the two solutions here, first write a custom script that adds the CDROM and manages this one-off case.  Then, modify the vmreconfig.pl script to handle this particular case of a painting of the disconnected device.

  In VMUtil.pm, you will find line number 929:

  My = $unitNumber $# {$controller-> device} + 1;

  This is to change:

  My = $unitNumber (set $controller-> device)? $# {$controller-> device} + 1:0;

  There may be other cases in the VMUtil.pm module that needs to be updated as well.  For this reason, it may be better to just write your own custom tool.  However, the simple correction above may let you go ahead with your project in the short term.

• Import the virtual machine created with .exe files

  Hello

  I'm new in the world of the virtual machines, and I'm sorry if I'm going to say something stupid.

  I take a .net class and the teacher has a virtual machine (windows XP with software) ready to pose with 4 .exe files.

  I installed VMfusion but now I have no idea how / if I can import the teacher VM fusion.

  Is this possible? If this is not the case, what can I do else?

  Thank you very much

  Luca

  Find a Windows PC and run the exe files to extract the virtual machine, precompiled.  Just copy the folder of the entire virtual machine on your Mac, and then open/run the virtual machine using the merger.  VMware virtual machines are portable between products and host operating system - there should be no reason to "convert" or "import".

• Connect to a service running on the Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I installed the server virtual computer on a Windows Vista-based computer. I have created a virtual machine and configured the Windows XP operating system and certain services is installed.

  I can't do a ping to the host Vista the XP virtual machine. But I'm not able to ping for the service that is running on the Virtual Machine host to Vista XP. I have configured the virtual machine to run on the HostOnly network.

  What could be the problem/fix?

  Kind regards

  Knockaert C

  If you are pinging by IP address then it work should absolutely check that the Windows Firewall in XP guest does not prevent the ICMP packets that is located on the tab 'Advanced' the Firewall Control Panel applet. No changes to host files is required. What type of network you choose - bridged, host only or NAT. If fulfilled, VMware is fill protocol running on this NETWORK card in the home? If one of the other two, is their virtual network adapters (VMnet *) in the active host and IP associated with them?

• script to remove all the virtual machines in a folder or a group resource

  Someone at - it a script that will find all the virtual machines within a file or a group of resources and then delete the virtual machines?

  If you're dealing with a specific resource pool or a folder, you can use these.

  $vmlist = get-folder -name "TEST2"  | get-vm
  $vmlist = get-resourcepool -name TestServers | get-vm
  

  And then send it to something like this

  $vmlist | ForEach {
       If ($_.PowerState  -eq "PoweredOn")
            {
            Stop-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False
            }
       Remove-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False      }
  

  Also to find files of type VM

  get-folder -name | where {$_.IsChildTypeVM -eq "True"}
  

  Do you need to search the children files or resource pools as well?

• Failed to create snapshot - now I can not start the virtual machine.

  Hi guys,.

  I took a snapshot of my VM and got the error:

  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/xxxxxxxx.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: Invalid drive string: cannot mix ESX and hosted style discs in the same chain.

  I deleted the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager, but my VM will always start (same error)

  Can anyone help? Its a vanilla install, just 1 VM on it.

  Thanks in advance

  Always pointing the Flash disk VMX configuration file. Whenever you remove the Flash disk, the drive-VMX configuraiton must be updated correctly. In your case it does not somehow. Anyway, lets get a work around.

  1 take the backup of the VMX configuration file

  2. edit the VMX file

  3 scsi0:0.fileName = "QFES_1.2.25 - RHEL52_x86.vmdk" (Please check the VMDK file name correctly it)

  4. save the file

  5. turn on the virtual machine

  Check your luck now

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• Share the virtual machine created in VMWare Player

  Hi all

  I created a virtual machine Ubuntu based using VMWare Player. The goal of this virtual machine is so it can be used for demonstrations on our societies SaaS based appliction. So basically the image works fine now, I have a few questions:

  1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

  2. If open the image in VMWare Player if he invites asking them 'have you copied"/"Moved"the virtual machine? Can I avoid this?

  3. it will work on their equipment?

  Any help appreciated.

  See you soon

  I can help you with your questions;

  1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

  Zipper the VM directory should work correctly, it will just extract somewhere on their machine to run it.

  2. If open the image in VMWare Player it will ask asking them

  "You copied" / "Moved" the virtual machine? Can I avoid

  This?

  To the best of my knowledge, you can't avoid it, and they should probably answer "copied" in the situation you describe.

  3. it will work on their equipment?

  It's a pretty loaded question.  Obviously, it must be run the Intel instruction set and have a Player version available for their OS.  I ran with success of virtual machines on a laptop Centrino 1.6 GHz single core, but startup performance left a little to be desired.  I think that a minimum of 1 GB of memory for a host running XP or Linux, probably at least 2 GB for one of the more recent Windows operating systems.  More memory would be better, but it will probably work with what I suggested.  Of course, player must be installed on these hosts.  Then make sure that the parameter memory your VM is as small as you can reasonably do.

  I have provided virtual machines by providing copies of the record, and they worked very well.  In my case, I created my VMs on my Mac with Fusion, but then run it with Fusion or player.

• UEFI TBS tool running on the virtual machine

  I installed esxi5.0 with setting of the virtual machine to support UEFI BIOS. I tried to run TBS uefi (self-certification tool) on uefi shell but installation stop impossible to copy the file stallforkey.efi. However, on a normal physical machine, I am able to boot to efi shell and can install the tool even without any impact. I wonder why it does not work on a virtual machine. Thank you!

  Sorry I did not on this thread in a timely.  I try to help where I can, but it can be difficult to follow all this and make sure that I have the answer to everything.

  The driver that you have found is the right, and it seems that you have loaded correctly too.

  You should probably just use "reconnect" in the EFI Shell to disconnect our CTS volume FAT file system driver and connect the FAT file system driver that you have installed (which has a larger number of driver version, it should be preferred to our driver)... Then, you should have file name long support on the volume of the SCT.  There is some trick that is necessary in order to obtain the ID correct grip for the command "reconnect", or you can try of "reconnect - r", which will take a little longer to run.  You must ensure that the current the EFI Shell working directory is not on the file system you want to log.

  So you're on track with OVMF + qemu anyway, so I just after the above for the sake of completeness, and just in case you find yourself stuck and looking for yet another way forward.  Sorry again once I failed to reply to your message.

  See you soon,.

• Can I register the Virtual Machine of VMware player esxi 4 4.1?

  Hi all

  There are a few virtual machines running in VMware player version 4, now I need to migrate on ESXi 4.1...

  It's Possible he just copy and past the files of virtual machines running in vmware player in the data store then register the same in the esxi server and power on... This will not work?

  because I do not V2V method...

  With respect,

  Pascale Vimal

  You run the virtual machine on HW 8, that you will not be able to simply move the ESXi machine.

  The only supported option is to do a conversion on reviews of downgrade the material relating to immigration to vSphere
