• P2V error: FAILED: an error occurred during conversion: "2338 ' platform-specific error".

  
  Got this message when trying to P2v of Windows 2003 SP2 server on workgroup.   Using the IP address and a local administrator account to connect to the server and the connection to vCenter to add the VM on the host.  The source server is in a workgroup and vCenter server reside in the field, but I can't do a ping from source to vCenter and source of vConverter server and vice versa.   So, doesn't seem to be a firewall issue or the port number.   My account exist on vCenter data center as an administrator, so I should have no problem with permission.

  I don't know, ports and/or connection settigs could be changed after P2V previsous... check the connection settings, consult the manual.

  Hello

  I'm doing a P2V of a linux machine, but I get this error message.

  The system where you are running the Converter vCenter has active UAC? Have you tried to use the option "Run As Administrator" at the launch of the vCenter Converter?

• How the news works of linux vmware-tools associated with the support of actions HGFS?

  Just to clarify, if it is possible to get from VMware Tools for Linux Guest users qualified/developer/maintainer.

  If memory serves me right, from 12 Workstation, VMware Tools for modified Linux related with the way it handles stocks HGFS.

  Installation of VMware tools on many Linux guests, I always see the same behavior.

  In some installations it build hgfs module, in others it seems fair to connect on vmhgfs-fuse executable. No module hgfs not charged in this case of the kernel then HGFS works as expected.

  Exactly how it works under the hood, how to install VMware Tools/config, can determine whether it is necessary to build the module or just run vmhgfs-fuse?

  Well, strange person, not even VMware guys come on this subject. IMHO is a really interesting thing, I almost always use shared folders between guests and hosts, it's so easy and simple WHEN IT WORKS.

  The fact that no-one comes on this thread, show what I think always: products like workstation are profoundly less used, average people IMHO use 30/40 per cent of the potential software.

  Then, with a few hours and a few Linux guests many kind in hand machines (work with tools in both modes, hgfs.ko or fuse), investigated and found how it works by myself.

  This is what I found.

  Recent versions of VMware Tools for Linux now seems to check the fuse package installed on guest system installed and when they found him, they try to use vmhgfs-fuse (formerly an Open-vm-tools executable) to mount hgfs actions without the need of the hgfs.ko module and so without needing to compile the module often broken kernel. For example, hgfs.ko thin build up to kernel branch 4.4 and it is broken again on 4.5.

  The script vmware-config - tools.pl also seems power - also when it detects the fuse package - properly configure autostart for hgfs share.

  That's all, and it's very useful for me. Hope it will be for others.

  Hi HiteshAstan,

  one) don't you recall making any changes to the computer before this happened?

  (b) what exactly happens when you sign in to your account?  You get a specific error message?

  Step 1: Let us check if the problem persists in safe mode

  Access the menu advanced startup options by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced startup options select safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

   

  If the problem persists, you can deduct that the user account is corrupted

  Step 2: Create a new administrator account and then try to repair your user account

  I just installed Oracle jDeveloper 12 c as part of the new version BPM Suite 12 c successfully on my LAPTOP.

  Damn! Found the problem thanks to locate you worker journal for me! :-)

  (wonder why it has not been included in the package...)

  The Linux server, I was trying to P2V was our external DNS server. If DNS has not been working so I changed my local Win7 to google.

  Later, I changed our internal DNS to use google instead of our external as the "next hop" and I forgot to change my DNS Win7 config to use our single internal instead of google DNS.

  Now the P2V for my Win7 PC is running...

  Thank you :-) for a ton for your help

  Do a Google search on your error. You will find several suggestions to try as verification of SSH, using IP instead of names of hosts, check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, network, firewall etc.

• What Linux Client "Just Works" with the merger?

  Hi all

  I would use a Linux Guest in Fusion, but I can't seem to find one that "just works."  Here are my questions:

  Ubuntu 8.10 - to get VMWare tools work properly, you need to install something called Open Virtual Machine tools and jump through hoops to get installed it.  Even after this, you have to run through another set of shell scripts to get the job of the iSight.  Even after all and she sound disconnects randomly when it is not disconnected, it sounds terrible or doesn't work with many applications (Skype, etc.)

  openSUSE 11.1 - integration of the mouse works by default which is nice, but once again the VMWare tools install not just without jumping through hoops to get the right packages, the iSight camera works of the box, but the sound does not work in many applications (Skype again and others.)

  Yes, is there a recommended linux distribution or a device that works?  I really don't want to spend the rest of my days of testing various installs.

  Where did you get this idea from? The tools provided with 2.0.1 work very well.

  See http://communities.vmware.com/message/1129103#1129103

  Note that this post is in the forum of the workstation. They ship a different version of tools, it is common for the merger to be a little more recent than the workstation or vice versa. You have no need open VM Tools or these instructions for Ubuntu 8.10 with Fusion 2.

  Even after this, you have to run through another set of shell scripts to get the job of the iSight.

  I never tried to use an iSight in a virtual machine of Ubuntu, but (lack of details), it sounds more like a problem between Ubuntu and your Mac (i.e. you would have same problems if you have installed Ubuntu natively).

  This may be true, but again, I question the wisdom of community find a distro that just works.  I hope that someone will say, hey, I use XYZ and it works fine.  No, "check the official list, oh and it may not always work, cause, we didn't test the devices that are built into your Mac."

  Of course, it's a reasonable question. I answer that Ubuntu 8.10 will work just for me. Our usage patterns seem to be different (and so I can't say if your tasks should work and something is strange or if it's a bug).

  Well, I'll try an 8.04 Ubuntu since it is on the official list.  If the sound does not work it in Skype (and we all know that it does on a native host) then I can get "official" support right?

  We are more likely (to) help with the problems that occur with the distributions with support than someone randomly.

• Time Machine "an error occurred during the creation of the backup folder"

  Hi all

  In September 2015, I bought a 6 TB WD MyBook to use with Time Machine. Initially, I have me back an Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 "and now it's an iMac late 2015 5 K. On both machines, the drive is connected directly to the USB port (without hubs was between the disc and the Mac). After about a week or two, I received a message "unable to full backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder".» I clicked on OK, rebooted the MacBook and she continued to save. This message pops up every week or two weeks, and I ignored him. When I got to the iMac, the message still popped up after a few weeks, and he even got to the point where it would show every day when I woke up to the iMac to sleep after a day at the College. Several clears and even erase the disc course made no difference. I made contact with WD and they sent me a new drive (a 8TB vs the original 6 to). Now, the message popped up again today.

  When I was home from Uni, I was support my MacBook Pro 2015 retina on a FireWire drive, which I had used before purchasing the WD 6 to, using Apple's FireWire adapter Thunderbolt. It worked without any problem. In addition, back up my MacBook Pro via FireWire 2011 worked well for 4 years. Given that the MacBook Pro saved without fault when the drive is connected via FireWire, and problems have emerged only when I started to use a USB drive, I start to think that it is a problem of USB. I turned it off put hard drives to sleep when possibleand have active Power Nap and still get the error.

  Anyone else see this issue?

  Thank you very much in advance!
