I have a virtual machine that is in a State of "stuck". It's that I can't turn off it, reset, or log in there.

Attached is the log, I grep was content to vmware.log for info on this virtual machine.

VM: swfdev01

Command:

/vmfs/volumes/Dev_VM3/swfdev01/swfdev01.vmx # vmware - cmd hard stop

Error:

# VMControl error - 999: unknown error: SoapError: ServerFaultCode (0): (the operation failed because another task is in progress.)

VM-support of execution - x lists world of all VMs. ID pick up the ID of the world of the virtual machine in a suspended state.

Run vm-support - X < WID > answer 'y' to the questions that follow, he will take a while to complete dump logs and finally kill the virtual machine.

You will be able to turn on the virtual computer.

  • I have a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses, and I need to move

    Okay, I'm trying to reconfigure the storage on a cluster of ESXi to software development, and I fell on a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses.  Somehow, the user has configured this thing to have most of the VM files on the data store 5 while all the vmdk but the residence on the data store 1 boot drive.  He probably did it because of the size of the old warehouses of data and the many VMs older than his colleagues left sitting.  Well, now I just reconfigure data warehouses so that there is more usable space, but I can't move this machine a virtual so that I can reconfigure the rest of storage.  (For reference, the old warehouses of data have been implemented in 4 sets of three disks in RAID 3 and a set of four disks in RAID 3 with two drives hot spare.)  For the record: not my idea.  I am reconfiguring them now to be a set of 15 drives in RAID 6, divided into two LUNS on both controllers, with a hot spare.)

    Well, now I need to figure out how to get this VM is spent at one of new data stores.  The data migration store feature does not work.  Any recommendations?

    Hi Dangingerich,

    You can move the VMDK individually with the advanced functionality of storage vMotion allows you to ask the data disk on your new storage space and then have the OS disk track.

  • 'Vista Internet Security' claims that I have infections but other software do not find them; asking me to purchase the program before deleting infections; balloons of warning that I can't turn off is displayed.

    Hello

    A program called 'Vista Internet Security' randomly started scanning my computer today, even if I was not said or was even aware I had. She argues there are 33 infections on my PC and than remove them I have to sign up and buy the program (which I do not!). Even if I click remind me later or leave unprotected it pop again alerts such as Stealth Inrusion balloons! Misuse of the system! System Danger! Found tracking software! Security breach! and private life threatening! It resembles a formal program, but it is not on my PC anywhere. It says 'upgrade to the full version of Vista Internet Security security software now! Clean your system and avoid new attacks. »

    I ran the Spybot program, but he found nothing. I have installed McAfee so I ran which but he found nothing also. I am running Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware scan but it has yet to find anything.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Internet-Security-2010

    Internet Security 2010 is a fake anti-spyware that is installed through the use of malicious software. Once installed, Internet Security will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. It will then scan your computer and display many infections, but will not remove anything until you purchase the program. These infections, however, are all fake and are only to demonstrate that they trick you into thinking you are infected so that you then purchase the program. It goes without saying that you should definitely not buy this program.

    Follow the steps CORRECT on the link above to remove it, including STOP the THIEF treat 1st before you scan them for it with Malwarebytes:

    1. Print out these instructions we will have to close each open window later in the fix.
    2. Before we do anything, we must first end to the processes that belong to Internet Security 2010 so that it does not interfere with the cleaning procedure. To do this, download the following file on your desktop.

      Rkill.com download link

    3. Once it is downloaded, double-click on the rkill.com in order to try automatically stop all processes related to Internet Security 2010 and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program seeks to various malware programs and end to them. When it's over, the black window will close automatically and you can continue to the next step. If you get a message that rkill is an infection, don't be concerned. This message is just a fake warning given by Internet Security 2010, when it terminates programs that can potentially remove. If you encounter these infections warnings that close Rkill, a tip is to leave the warning on the screen and then run Rkill again. By without closing the warning, this typically will allow you to bypass the malware trying to protect itself so that rkill can terminate Internet Security 2010. So, please try to run Rkill until malware is no longer running. You will then be able to proceed with the rest of the guide.

      Do not restart your computer after running rkill as malware programs will start again.

  • What is the Maximum number of virtual machines that you can have in a HA cluster in VC 2.5 Update 2?

    as in the subject...

    AFAIK VMs per host maximum is 40 in the case of cluster HA with 9 or more guests. Yes 40 * 32 is 1280 VMs for cluster HA 32 hosts.

    OK so, I knew that I had a response because he had a new email in my Inbox.
    Now there is no such convenience.
    I have to look through emails, I sent for a small arrow that indicates that someone has responded. When I click on the email that someone replied, the original e-mail opens, as well as the answer.

  • Storage DRS, move a virtual machine that is in the data store is not a member of DTS

    Dear all,

    If I've set up storage DRS that contains, for example, DS1 and DS2. I have another virtual machine that resides on DS that is not part of the cluster of DTS. Can I move this virtual machine to one of the (DS1, DS2) data store? OR will some disruptions?

    Thank you

    Jocelyn,

    Which is correct in both cases. You can leave DTS place it for you (which is my suggestion), but I thought you wanted it to go to a specific data store.  That being said you can reactivate the DTS for a virtual machine under the SDR change settings if you do not ever clear for a virtual machine

  • How to use a virtual machine that requires more physical memory that I have?

    A colleague send me a Linux VM, he built on a machine with much more physical memory 4 GB I have in my Macbook Air.  When I started the virtual machine in Fusion, he said that the more physical memory virtual machine that I had and suggested that this would reduce the memory for the virtual machine to 3 GB.  I said OK and the machine started.  I did a lot of work in this virtual machine.  I suspended the VM because I needed to recover a portion of memory that he used for another application.

    When I try to start the virtual machine now, it says that it requires 4 GB of memory and that I should quit some applications or restart to free the memory required.  I tried both without success.

    Why the parameter / 3GB was not recorded when I suspended the VM?

    Given that I can't change the memory required for the virtual machine until it is properly closed and since then I can't stop the virtual machine without unsuspending it, I suspect that the VM is toast.

    Is it possible to recover the virtual machine?

    With VMware Fusion closed, you can remove the file from .vmss to to reset the VM to a shutdown state.  Note that whatever it is not recorded when he was suspended will be lost.

  • Can I use the same product key in a virtual machine that I use for the Windows installation that hosts the VM?

Can I use the same product key for the virtual machine that I currently use on the host system, or do I have to buy a different product key for the virtual machine?

    No, you will need to purchase an additional license. The virtual machine is considered to be a separate computer.

  • Is a bootcamp VM faster then a virtual machine that is based vmdk?

    Performance question: is a bootcamp VM faster then a virtual machine that is based vmdk? I guess the only reason why make it faster would be to drive, reading and writing.

    Are there other benefits of performance?

    Hello

    Not a bootcamp VM is not really faster like a normal virtual machine.

    I understand your reasoning, but unless you open a lot of clichés about the virtual machine performance is almost identical or similar vmdk founded against based training camp.

    Which btw is highlighting a disadvantage of bootcamp VMs, you can not snapshots.

    Of course, if you start your VM bootcamp in native mode (and not as a virtual machine), you have a performance increase as you then run native on the material.

  • Configure replication vSphere fails - there is a virtual machine that has the same UUID instance than the one you are trying to configure

    Hi all


    My colleague was trying to extend a hard disk of a server 2008R2 who (1) had a snapshot and (2) was being replicated. The operation has failed and they took the snapshot replication can be stopped. Long story short when I got to him, the server could not be configured for replication and could not extend the disk and a vMotion failed.

    Looking at the files of the VM on the data store and the VMs .vmx file we have all the characteristics of a virtual machine always configured for replication of vSphere. If you try to configure replication vSphere causes an instant error "vsphere replication does not support change the length of a replicated disk. After a few changes I can reconfigure vSphere new replication, however, when the wizard has finished, I get a new error message (see below):

    "Try to set up vSphere that replication has failed for the VM"name vm"during the creation of groups"vm". There is a virtual "vm-name" machine that has the same instance UUID ' UUID of the Virtual Machine "that you want to configure. The existing vSphere of replication is configured for site protection.

    A possible solution would be to reset the database embedded VRMS our DR as suggested here VR configure replication after losing a VC site server but I was wondering if there is another solution? I have not reset the database of VRM before and cannot find a document that tells exactly what to do. I guess I need to stop all the rehearsals before resetting the database?

    See you soon,.

    Dean

    Hello

    There is no need to reset the VRMS database.

    If you know the value GID... an orphan replication, you can use the CROWD VRMS (https://vrms_address:8043/mob/?moid=GID-...&vmodl=1) to call the destroy method - it is eliminating simple replication to the site of the source or the target.

    If you don't know the GID... value, it can be found of VRMS DB or log files. Please file an SR for assistance.

    This procedure is already documented in internal KB articles and help using VMware support:

    KB article internal 2056086, section "cannot replicate virtual machine as there is another virtual machine with the same UUID instance"

    and also internal KB article 2060751.

    The admin guide section will be updated as it is confusing right now by suggesting only to reset the DB.

    Kind regards
