• After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove VC

  Hello

  I had a couple of machines to import the configuration of another admin... After you import the virtual machines in LM, can I remove the virtual machines, I imported VC? I now have more need to fight them with VC. LM depends on of these always after import?

  I do not believe, but you can rename the folder and see if something is complaining.  If it isn't, it is probably safe to delete.

• 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.

  -Phil Anzel

  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.

• 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".

• Change the amount of vCPU in vCD deletes the virtual machine network connection in vCenter

  
  It is a problem of crazy that we discovered, and I wanted to know if anyone had seen him.

  First of all, we miss the following software versions:

  vCD: 5.1.1.867405

  vCenter: 5.0.0 Build 913577

  ESXi: 5.0.0 build 1024429

  If you go to vCloud Director and change the material properties of an existing virtual machine (Powered off) any change in the amount of vCPU (to something new), inside of vCenter status of the network will change to the port group Standard (inactive) none.

  
  Even if, before making the change, the virtual machine is connected to a distributed port group, and works well.

  We now display an SR to VMware, but sometimes it is worth running this by the community to see if other people have already seen or indeed want to test on their deployment.

  
  Thanks in advance

  We have solved the problem now.

  The reason why that we faced this problem is because we used the wrong order in the API.

  You must ensure that you use the undeploy command when you work with the vCD API otherwise you end up with a disconnected network card.

• Unable to connect to the virtual machine after adding new eSATA drive

  Hello.

  I'm trying to connect my new 2 TB drive in VMWare Workstation. It is connected via eSATA to the host computer, and it works. I added the drive to the desktop as a new "physical disk." But now I can not power the workstation the most.

  (1) when I start the VMWare Workstation it right ask admin (it didn't need before).

  (2) when I turn on the prompt does not charge even the bios. It shows a rear screen with the logo of VMWare for a while and then stop saying: "VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure that you have the rights to run the program and access all directories that it uses and access rights to all directories for temporary files. »

  The host is running Windows 7 x 64. The workstation runs under the standard user account.

  Thank you.

  Hmmm - it's unexpected - works for me here - only difference: I tried with only 1 TB disks.

  You start Workstatiion as an administrator?

• Disks of the virtual machine consolidation is necessary - vCenter 5.1 U1 + ESXi 5.1 + VDP 5.8.0

  Hello

  I am facing problem as many other people do, when snapshot is deleted, the delta files are still there and warning message "consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary" is shown on the virtual machine.

  It happened only few but try to find the root cause. He arrived only on virtual machine located on ESXi 5.1 build 799733 which is located in the task of the WTP 5.8.0 backup.

  Is this snapshot problem, a bug in the version of ESXi?

  Unable to find the release notes, where this is documented as bug.

  Thank you

  Finally, I found a reason, therefore, for other users... ESXi 5.1 build 799733 has a bug that is resolved in the update 1 and higher and is connected to the suspended snapshots created by POS, that is why are there so many discs of delta.

  ESXi 5.1 Update 1 Release Notes

  • When the slowdown of snapshot fails the redo logs are not consolidated
    • When you try to take a snapshot of the suspension of a virtual machine, if the snapshot operation fails near the end of its realization, recovery logs created as part of the snapshot are not consolidated. Recovery logs can consume a lot of space to store data.
    • This issue is fixed in this version. If the snapshot suspended operation fails, the redo log files are consolidated.

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

  I need to be able to migrate a VM from 3.5 to 4.0.

  1 moving to a shared LUN virtual computer - done

  $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.

• need to configure a connection wireless network with static IP address to make a panasonic wireless display of work on the virtual machine

  Hi, I'm new to macs and Fusion. I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid-2009, running 10.5.7 and Fusion 2.0.5, running Win XP Pro SP3 as the virtual machine (not in a bootcamp partition separate). I added a second network as a bridged network adapter (first one is set to NAT). I'm trying to connect my wireless panasonic (802 11b) to the virtual machine display, as I do on my old sony PC. Normally, I turn on the wireless on the PC, find the network wireless in Win XP and configure my SSID and necessary of static IP address and configure the NIC to search only ad-hoc connections (non-infrastructure). I also turn off the firewall so that it can work. There is a panasonic program runs on the PC (which I also installed on the virtual machine) makes it all happen once I have the connection. So the place that seems to be stuck, it's that I can't find a wireless to configure network adapter since--what the VM is a NA standard, so there is no place to specify the SSID, ad-hoc and disable the WEP key. Someone has ideas how to go beyond my current state?

  In addition, the panasonic only works at 800 x 600 for the display resolution, so it will automatically change the graphics settings. I guess that's not a problem on the VM, but thought I would ask in advance in case someone sees a problem with it.

  Thank you very much.

  Larry

  If the only way you can connect to the device is via WiFi, then you will need to provide your own WiFi USB network adapter to the virtual machine because Fusion presents only the network card Ethernet wired to the Virtual Machine, regardless of the host network adapter is the main map.

• New virtual machine not added the domain

  Hello

  I use workflow 'Request new VM' by default provided by prchestrator platform, but newly developed VM thr' this workflow is not added on the field that I select during placement workflow execution. However, once the virtual machine is created I can manually connect to it and add it to the field. Any reason, why it does not work when the virtual machine is configured? Apart from the configuration of the settings field and network with the infrastructure, is there anything else I need to do? Once this virtual machine as added on a network, I also want to add some users as local administrators on this virtual machine, I couldn't find any way to do thr' orchestrator, can be done thr' orchestrator?

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

• Start the virtual machine and wait for WF, does not connect to the computer virtual for Vds (Windows 2008 R2)

  Hello

  See a strange problem with only a Windows 2008 R2 model. When you use the built-in function "Start VM and wait" workflow to start a virtual machine (after conversion from a template either manually, or through workflow) NIC of the virtual machine (I tried VMXNET3 and e1000 times) does not connect to the problem. Vds can be replicated in a different VCenter, so spreading the vds. I also created several models of Windows 2008 r2 and all have this problem.

  If the model is converted and started outside VRO, it gets an IP from and is connected to the VDS immediately

  Tried add/remove the NIC of the model

  Tried to move the comments on different hosts

  Tried to create a new template from scratch

  NOTE: Windows 2012 R2 doesn't have this problem in the same circles, the only constant is the Windows 2008 R2 being started by VRO.

  Anyone seen this before?

• the virtual machine customization: Customize not

  Hi all

  When I create a model for w2k8r2 I follow these steps:

  -create a virtual machine

  -install w2k8r2

  -install the required patches

  -install all the software business for our build

  -stop the machine (no sysprep is run)

  -model of the virtual machine

  Now, when I deploy a vm' in this model and select: Customize will not... machinery recently deployed still would be Sysprep and made unique?

  Thank you

  Dryv

  How can I make sure my get sysprep machines would be?

  very simple.

  Use vCenter customization specification Manager, PR Cutomization Spec File for Windows, specify the Hostname of the virtual machine, the license key, network settings and check generate new largest SID.

  See next post where someone has explained how to do this step by step activity.

  Creation and use of VMware Guest customization Specification"blog of Adrian Costea

  now, when deploying the new VM model of yours, please check customize Guest OS-> select spec file. customization you created. and continue with the deployment.

  Rest will be done for you, as your newly deployed machine will be syspreped,

  This way you won't have to worry about SID, but at the same time many other things will be also supported.
