Import a virtual machine from a backup of Symantec .sv2i

I need to create a virtual machine from the backup of a Windows physical box created with one of the latest versions of Symantec BESR.

VMware Converter Standalone documentation reading - I see that only the backup made with Symantec BESR 8.5 and earlier files are supported.

Can someone please provide a solution or at least advice?

Hello

You can create a temp disk (VMDK) to an existing virtual machine, and then put your backup file on the disk.

Detach the VMDK and then assign to a new virtual machine as a second disc (the virtual machine you need to restore the backup to that).

Then start the virtual machine of the Symantec BESR startup disk and restore the secondary drive on the first disk backup file.

After that detach and remove the second disk.

Of curse, this solution may not work after restoration because you made the physics of the machine backup and restore to a virtualized platform.

  • Import virtual machines from vCenter to vCAC 6.0.1 failed

    Hello everyone.

    I'm trying to import existing virtual machines to vCenter 5.5 vCAC 6.0.1 with the organizing Infrastructure option but I got an error that says: Source VRM Agent. Instance name: Server IaaS. Username: vCAC user admin. Message: error while processing [RegisterVM], details of the error: value cannot be null. Parameter name: the name of the virtual machine has not been specified.

    And verification of the server log, all parameters have the correct data, except name = "VirtualMachine.Admin.Name". This one is empty. And the following line in the newspaper wrote:

    Message = [value cannot be null. [Name of the parameter: the name of the virtual machine has not been specified.]

    Everyone?. The solution works fine, I can deploy machines, their administration, destroy, etc..  I have only two users now, vcacserv (vCAC tenant admin, admin of fabric, all admin) and mrocebal (my user, user role only). The same error if I select any user as the owner of the machine.

    I have a user called vmadmin, who is admin vCenter.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello everyone.

    Updated this thread and close it, let me tell you what happened.

    I opened a ticket with support Services and they told me that there is a problem with the development of the application. They increased the ticket with the Department of development in India. It has been 2 weeks later. We decided internally to install the 6.1.1 version and that solved our problem.

  • VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

    Hello

    I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

    Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

    Thank you.

    FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

    The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

    Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

    The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

    Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

    Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

  • How to import a virtual machine of 3.5 to 4.0?

    $vmFolder.RegisterVM_Task ("[SHARED_LUN]" + $VMName + "/" + $VMName + ".vmx", $VMName, $false, $ResourcePool.MoRef, $null ")

    Thank you

    It will work, but you will need to use the - Server parameter in the cmdlet Get-Data Center to indicate what vcenter you want to recover the data center.

    Suppose you have two vCenters, called VC1 and VC2, then you can get the data center under VC1 like this

    $vc1 = connect-VIServer-Server VC1

    $vc2 = connect-VIServer-Server VC2

    Get-data center-name SameName-Server $vc1

    If you'd

    Get-Datacenter -Name SameName
    

    you will get a table with 2 objects, an object for the data center in each vCenter.

  • Move virtual machines from a to another data store

    Is there a recommended (or integrated) way to move propelled out of virtual machines from a data store? Or is it a cut simple and working of dough which can be done from any client PC connected to the underlying storage providers?

    If both, store data Source and Destination are connected to the same server vCenter, do Storage vMotion. Make a right-click VM--> migrate--> change of data store and select the Destination data store.

  • Migrate virtual machines from HP G7(single host) for HP G8 (Cluster) without shared storage

    BAbak

    can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

    You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

    migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

    Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

    Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

    The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).

  • Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

    Hello

    I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

    Thanks in advance...

    If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

    How to move the virtual machine from one cluster to another cluster

    If two Clusters are in the same data center, you could do a 'live' migration or vMotion, if that's the case.   If the virtual machine is turned off, it may be migrated regardless of the data center.

  • vCO workflow: create a virtual machine from a model and then ask the user about the CPU, memory size...

    Hi guys,.

    I am trying to create a workflow with vCO that can do the job for me:

    -Create a virtual machine (or maybe a several virtual machines) from a model (the model is in vCenter, of course)

    -L' user who is running the workflow has the thr right to say what he wants for the CPU, the memorysize, the disksize

    Any help?

    I found some workflows in the library can seem to do something similar to what I want, but since I'm a beginner I'd rather have your advice

    Hello there and welcome to vCenter Orchestrator

    Take a look at this series of tutorials to get an idea of how start:

    Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 1

    Create a vCO simple self-service VM Provisioning Portal - part 2

    Create a Simple Self Service VM Provisioning Portal vCO - part 3

    The general approach to take would be to determine which of the clone (or clone and customize) workflows adapts to your nearest need (see your customer vCO: workflows\Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Clone\)

    Then, create a NEW WORKFLOW that calls this one... after that your clone operation is complete, keep the computer turned off virtual and add feeds of extra work from the library to your new workflow that do things like change the amount of Ram, adds disks, change CPU, etc...

    Be sure to watch the videos on http://www.vmwarelearning.com/orchestrator to get a basic understanding of the use of vCO.

  • How can I remove a virtual machine from the mycomputer tab entry?

    to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  • Best way to migrate a virtual machine from local drive to Cluster?

    Hello

    For historical reasons, we set up a virtual machine in the local disk of the ESX host.  This host is not connected to the San, where there is one group of another 3 ESX host.

    We would like to remove this standalone ESX host and migrate the virtual computer to the Cluster.  Should what tools I use?  Can use us the converter to do?  If so, when we connect to the Infrastructure of VI, does connect to the version independent host ESX OR import this virtual machine to an ESX Hos in the cluster?

    Thank you

    Hello

    your ESX host is connected to your vCenter?

    If Yes just turn off the virtual machine right click in vSphere client and choose migrate. Select destination storage and ESX server and it will be migrated.

    If it's not I turn off the virtual machine and just copy the whole directory of the VM on the new ESX Server with scp on ssh.
