• Impossible to run virtual machines (could not open/dev/vmmon)

  Currently, I can't open one of my virtual machines. I get a dialog box appear saying "couldn't open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory".

  I'm 10.11.4, on a current model Mac Pro under VMWare Fusion 8.1.0 on OS X.

  Can any ideas on how I fix?

  Hello

  First thing I would try is a reboot, but given the error, I would not hold my breath on this binding.

  The error messages seem to suggest that some drivers are corrupted. The only way to solve, which is by uninstalling VMware Fusion 8, restart OS X (ensuring that no driver remains persistent), then install VMware Fusion 8 again.

  Note, that this will not delete your virtual machines (with additional backups is always a good thing if)

  This post should help determine the number of hosts.

  VSAN part 25 - hosts much-needed to tolerate failures? CormacHogan.com

  The number of disks is harder once you start adding bandwidth, because you also have to take into components witness account.

  Each band will require a disc, and you increase FTT, you will need to double the number of disks you want to mirror any of the components score. And then, of course, welcome the witnesses.

• Impossible to expand virtual machine using workstation 8.04 disk

  Hello

  I recently installed workstation 8.04 on my Vista 32 with no problems.

  Then, I installed Win 7 ultimate in my computer again without any problems.

  Now, I tried to extend the VM disk but got the error below:

  There is not enough space on the file system for the selected operation.

  There are 19 GB free on the host (Vista) and I expanded only VM 5 GB hard drive, but I still get the same error.

  The virtual computer is in one file.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  I guess that the virtual disk to the virtual machine is a unique hard (not a 2 GB sparse disk) file. In this case temporarily resize the virtual disk requires additional disk space, because the content of the virtual disk is copied to the new virtual disk file.

• Impossible to update virtual machines with WSUS

  Hi, (first timer so please, be gentle)

  We have deployed only a small number of virtual machines, which are built from the same model. When trying to deploy WSUS updates, a virtual machine appears and only for a few seconds at a time then randomly change to another virtual machine. Which allows us to push updates.

  I understand that the problem he pulled on the model to build, but is there anything else that we could rate?

  See you soon

  Hello

  I had this problem some time, and it wasn't the SID of the OS but the ID of the WSUS client.  This can be regenerated on each client by following these steps:

  a. run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
  b. remove the PingID SUSClientID and AccountDomainSID values
  c. stop and start the Service Wuauserv
  d. from the command prompt run: wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow

  Once this done, clients should begin to appear in the WSUS = console)

  Hope this helps

• Virtual MACHINE running on two hosts after hung vmotion

  Hello

  I started a VMotion of virtual machine by host A to host B. The request got hung at 65% for several hours. I restarted the VCenter service, registered to vsphere. The process was running is longer, but now the virtual machine appears on the Host A and host B.

  The Cluster-'Virtual Machine' tab displays the virtual machine and cycles between two hosts seconds couple?

  Anyone seen this before? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

  First of all, it's impossible.  A virtual machine cannot be in 2 places at once.  It's just in the transition.

  Secondly, vCenter manages the process but it doesn't actually do the vMotion, ESX hosts are.

  What is happening is life of the virtual machine on the host only until the end of the evolution towards the other host (somewhere around 97%) when the transfer is confirmed with the new host.

  Best thing to do is to restart the services of management on both hosts and see if that frees the vMotion.

• MPIO inside a guest virtual machine?

  Is it supported to configure MPIO inside a guest OS running on esxi4.1?

  I was looking at our configuration of Exchange virtual computer and for some reason any consultant configured our message Exchange store by using of Windows Iscsi initiator. Currently it has only a single session in the message store. That said, the virtual network adapter that is used for the iscsi initiator is connected to a vswitch configured for Iscsi traffic with 2 adapters, which should cover the aspect of redundancy. Not sure if it's useful to have multiple NICs configured inside the guest to use MPIO?

  I've seen some old messages in this regard, and it seemed that it was not "supported, but I thought I would check to see if something has changed."

  Thank you
  Kevin

  Closer to you, you could get is 68 of the document "vSphere storage" under the "SAN iSCSI ESXi Restrictions" section:

  "Impossible to use virtual-machine software multipathing to perform I/O to a single physical LUN balancing."

  As you say, the virtual network adapter that is used for the iscsi initiator is connected to a vswitch configured for Iscsi traffic with 2 adapters, which should cover the redundancy.

• How to modify a Virtual Machine DRS existing group?

• Cannot start multiple virtual machines.  Maybe I corrupted the model

  We had problems with disk space, and I was looking around to see if he had left garbage data store.  I am very new to VM, but even though I'm new I'm responsible for helping maintain.  So I learn a lesson the hard way.

  I found a number of virtual machines in organized which did not seem to relate to existing models.  For example, we have a model name 000729-Server2008 Server 2008, that they are in lm401\729.  But it appers to be a clone of 729 to lm401\16.  I'm going to guess that 16 was the original version and changes or clones have been made for him and we are now sitting to 729.

  Then I moved 16 in another data store, but it failed because there is a lock on the hard master.  So I moved everything back.  Now, when we try to start up of VMs driven from this model we get "file & lt; filename not specified & gt; not found"I went back and tried to deploy and supply on the model but I get

• Manual backup Parallels virtual machine - how to exclude folders?

  Can't find an answer.

  I want to exclude certain folders when you do a manual Virtual Machine backup Parallels.

  There are thousands of responses but all backups on Mr. time.

  And since I had a crash when restoring a virtual of TM machine I won't use.

  I have no problem with manual backups.

  But since my photo file is about 100 GB and I don't change anything

  often, in this case, I want to exclude from the backup of file that records everything.

  Greateful for any suspicion.

  Can you clarify, you try to back up only via Parallels

  or try you backup via Time Machine and want to exclude a folder?

  If this last, go preferences of Time Machine and choose your folders to exclude

  

  If you only back up Parallels see here

  http://KB.parallels.com/en/4859

  or here

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Andy

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• Working in a virtual machine of shared folders and not another...

  Hi, I'm new to the community but have worked with VMWare Workstation for about 9 months now. I have a set of 5 VM that I run on a regular basis, and I had successfully implemented the shared folders in each VM to a central folder on my C: drive host. I now have new versions of several of the virtual machine and I am trying to configure access to the same shared folder, but it will not be displayed.

  After you set up the information in shared folders in the virtual machine settings, I go into the virtual machine on my computer and expect to see under readers network, "Shared Folders on .host '. Who does not appear and when I try to map a network drive to //.host/Shared files /, it can't find the network.

  I compared the parameters between a virtual machine that has the Shared folder working and one who does not work, and I can't seem to find any differences.

  Here are some of my system details, if it helps:

  VMWare Workstation Version 6.5.2 build 156735

  Host of OS = Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)

  VM OS = Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)

  I've updated the VMWare tools in the virtual machine

  I have ideas of what I can try to get this working. Thank you!

  Try to upgrade the virtual hardware version 7 - maybe it does.

  Why don't you use the entries for the disks in cluster? -of course, you know that they are not stable in WS 6.5
