I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

The disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state.  Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again.

I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

Any idea what's going on?

  • Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

    Hello

    I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

    Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

    I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

    Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

    I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

    I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

    Sigmoid wrote:

    Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

    A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

    OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

    Let's do it this way

    1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
    2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
    3. make the BACKUP!
    4. Disconnect the data host drives
    5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
    6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
    7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
    8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
    9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
    10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
    11. begin to ESXi
    12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
    13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

    I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

    I want to copy some files (word documents) on a CD - RW. I just bought a new box of these discs: Memorex high speed 12 X 800 MB 80 min

    When I put a disc in my d drive, I get the following error message:Windows cannot format this type of disc.  Insert another disk and try again.

    However, I went in the d drive and clicked on delete, just to see if it would work.  It recognizes the disc as a CD - RW, and erased, and said I could now burn files to it.  I tried to copy the files to and and again got the error message.

    Hi mariec59,

    1 does happen with all disks?
    2. what program you use to burn the disc?

    We recommend you to check if the problem persists with another disc.
    We also recommend to run the troubleshooter for CD/DVD playback and burning. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. see play CD/DVD and burning issues.
    b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
    c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Also, see burn a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

  • Delete a partition in a virtual machine and expand the initial allocation of hard drive

    I have created a virtual machine running server 2012R2 with an allowance of 60 GB drive. I decided after doing hours of work on the virtual machine I had assigned too little disk space for the virtual machine. I decided that I just go in vSphere and change settings and add to the existing space. The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original, which doesn't help me. How can I remove this new partition and just expand the original that has been allocated when I created this virtual machine?

    Thank you

    Hi Paul,.

    Could you clarify what you mean by;

    The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original

    (A) do you mean you modified the virtual machine and added a second disc, rather than increase the size of the original? or;

    (B) you increase the size of the original disk and create a new partition in this free space?

    Be that as it may, the question should be simple to solve;

    (A) remove the second disk you don't need, increase the size of the original. Then from the OS Disk Manager, rescan the disks and extend C:\ in free space.

    (B) delete the partition that you don't need. From the OS Disk Manager, expand C:\ in free space.

    See you soon,.

  • Get the IP of the virtual machine and MAC

    Hello

    I'm trying to get the IP of the virtual machine and the MAC one of my data centers.

    When I run that the following script two things happen:

    1. I don't see a vm in the output of the csv file.

    2. when I send the output to the quick PowrCLI I see only a mac and one IP address for virtual machines with network cards.

    Script

    ---------

    $MV = Get-Data Center $DC | Get-vmhost | Get - VM

    {foreach ($VM to $VMs)

    $VMx = get-view $VM.ID

    $HW = $VMx.guest.net

    foreach ($dev to $HW)

    {

    foreach ($ip in $dev.ipaddress)

    {

    $dev | Select

    @{Name = 'Name'; {Expression = {$vm.name}}.

    @{Name = 'IP address'; Expression is {$ip}},

    @{Name = 'MAC'; {Expression = {$dev.macaddress}} |

    Export-CSV VM - IP - Info.csv - NoTypeInfo

    }

    }

    }

    My console output, tested on a virtual machine with two external network cards and an internal interface "dummy".

    You see the addresses expected in summary using vSphere Client VM?

    Oh sorry, I forgot the PS 3.0 requirement.

    You can put all the entries in a table and export all at the end of the script.

  • How to remove the msg: "consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary."

    Hi all

    I implement vSphere 5, and I have the following message displayed in the vCenter (virtual machine Summary tab). Does anyone know how to remove the message without consolidating the snapshot?
    ----------------------------------------------------
    "Consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary."
    ----------------------------------------------------

    I think vCenter is detect the Delta for this virtual machine and warning me that I have to consolidate the snapshot. However, I do not want to consolidate the snapshot because the database is still running when the snapshot was taken, and there is a great chance that the data will be corrupt when I consolidate this delta disk file.

    I looked towards the top of the Knowledge Base, but it does not say how to stop the message without actually consolidate the snapshot.

    the message will disappear as soon as snapshots are consolidated.  There is no way to remove the message otherwise.  Just think of it as a reminder that the snapshots should be engaged.
