• Cannot save the virtual machine in VMWare Server 2

  Hi all:

  I created a VM (12.1 OpenSuSE 32bits) in VMWare Workstation 7; then I copied it to a host VMWare Server 2.

  When I try to save the virtual machine via the web, the server fails (or at least interrupts the response from Web page), so I tried to save it via command line.

  After searching a bit I found this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

  The question is now that I can't find any vmware-cmd anywhere, and when I run vmware-vim-cmd I get the following error:

  vmh2: / data/vmachines/postgresql-box # vim - vmware - cmd solo/registervm /data/vmines/postgresql-box/postgresql-box.vmx
  Connection failed: vim.fault.NoPermission

  So I'm stuck... someone can help me?

  BTW: what is ESX, ESXi and what version of ESXi is included in VMWare Server 2?

  Thank you very much

  Luis

  I can't tell you exactly what are the causes of the problem. What I would try (a solution) is to create a new virtual machine in VMware Server with the same specifications as the original one, then copy the two files hard in the new virtual machine folder and edit the .vmx file for the new VM 'OpenSuSE - 12.1 - cl1 - 000001.vmdk' use as its virtual drive.

• Conversion of the virtual machines in VMWare Server 1.0.5 to vSphere Enterprise

  I have a couple of windows XP virtual machines running on VMWare Server 1.0.5.  Can someone point me to instructions for turning them into vSphere (ESXi 4)? The conversion occurs in the vCenter Server or with a separate program?  Thank you!

  VMware Converter, which is integrated with vCenter Server and the Client must be able to do this by directing it to the virtual VMware Server 1.0.5 computer files.  You just need to save the pluggin converter in the Client to use vCenter converter function.

• How to assign the IP address of the virtual machine on VMware Server 2.0.

  Hey guys,.

  Okay, that means, is not in your server room.

  Your computer has several available ethernet network interfaces: eth0, eth0: 0,

  eth0: 1, eth0:2, eth0:3. Which do you want to bridge vmnet0?

  Your server has only one physical ethernet interface. But there are multiple ip addresses configured on it. If you want to know, how it works and how it is configured, you can read this page.

  You need to reconfigure your network VMware Server 2 to fill the other or several networks. VMware Server documentation is explained on p. 222 and following. In fact, for linux, it is page 229 and includes 'ifconfig' to know what special device (eth0: 0...) what IP address, then run ' vmware - config.pl ' is used to assign the new configuration. But please read the documentation for more details.

• How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

  I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

  (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

  1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

  

  2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

  This one is for external access to the Internet:

  

  And this one for intranet communications AD:

  

  3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

  For Internet access:

  

  Then, you need allow this connection to share:

  

  And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

  

  4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

  5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

  

  6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

  

  7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

  Continue with steps [5-7].

• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  $vm = get - VM | Select Name, Notes

  $vm | Export-csv notes.csv

  but cannot find a way to import...

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

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

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false

• 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.

• Import of existing virtual machines to VMware server

  My company has several virtual machines created with VMware Server 2.0.  We want to do a proof of concept for virtualization in production using ESXi environment.  Instead to install guest OS on a new machine of ESXi freash, is it possible to import a virtual machine created in VMware Server 2.0?  This should earn a quite some time.  Also, if possible, ESXi accesses a UBS device to copy the files of the virtual machine locally, that is, a USB HDD?  If this is not the case, can use us the VM converter to move to ESXi?

  Thanks for your help.

  RC

  Check the converter.  Probably the easiest option.

• 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 a virtual machine in ESXI Server

  I'm having a problem importing a virtual machine into the ESXi server. I downloaded the folder with the VM and then after the download, I opened the folder in the data store, click on the .vmx file, add to the inventory and then when I go to power on the virtual machine, you receive an error.

  

  Can someone tell me what Idid hurt, actually there at - it a guide step by step somewhere?

  Thank you

  for me, I like to use the converter, it works and takes care to ensure that all parts of the VM needrf are transferred into your ESX (i) environment.

  Download VMware Converter, install and convert machine.   Source type is another virtual machine of VMware or VMware Workstation.  Type of destination will be the virtual machine VMware Infrastructure.

• Can I register the Virtual Machine of VMware player esxi 4 4.1?

  Hi all

  There are a few virtual machines running in VMware player version 4, now I need to migrate on ESXi 4.1...

  It's Possible he just copy and past the files of virtual machines running in vmware player in the data store then register the same in the esxi server and power on... This will not work?

  because I do not V2V method...

  With respect,

  You run the virtual machine on HW 8, that you will not be able to simply move the ESXi machine.

  The only supported option is to do a conversion on reviews of downgrade the material relating to immigration to vSphere

• automatic start of the virtual machine on vmware player 2.5.1?

  Can VMWare Player 2.5.1 the virtual machine autostart when it starts? I have Windows running VMWare Player when it starts, but just, this brings me to the main page of player where you can open file, recent opening, etc. You still have to physically click to open the virtual machine. So is there a way that I could automate it to just run itself when it opened (change of maybe a file somewhere)? If this version/product does not support this, can you recommend one that does?

  Player doesn't have the ability to auto-start the virtual machines.  The fact of VMware Server.  Server start virtual machines when Windows starts, not when you start the server GUI, which is not exactly what you are referring, but is usually what most people want when they want machines virtual autostart.

  'office' versions of Windows are listed as taken hosts supported OS.  Many threads on these forums about the small nagging issues with networking and such when to use Server on unsupported hosts, especially hosts Vista and Win7.  You don't specify what version of Windows you are using as the host.  If it is a server version, VMware Server is an option for you.

  But a simple solution is to simply make shortcuts to the. Files in the folder of your VMX virtual machine.

• 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

  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".
