Impossible to reconfigure the Virtual Machine error

Hi all

Newbie here.  I am trying to convert my Windows XP Version 2002 SP3 (it's a virtual machine) to my new IMac with Fusion 4.1.1 (536016).

When I run the migration agent, everything is fine and he says his will last about 2 hours.  20 minutes or so, I have error with "unable to reconfigure the target Virtual Machine.   My PC is up to date with Windows updates and pretty vanilla.

Here are the last few lines of my log file:

  • With the help of gsoap/C++ web SDK problem reconfiguring the Virtual Machine

    Hi all, I m using gsoap/C++ with web service sdk to monitor virtual machines.

    I m able to enumerate the current list of virtual machines, total number of vm. Now I m trying to reconfigure the virtual machine. My Code snippet is as below.

    The virtual machine is running and I m trying to change the ram, I did it using java api and it doesn't butfor c ++ it is in error.

    ns1__VirualMachineConfigSpec vmSpec;

    ival long 64;

    vmSpec - & gt; memoryMB = & ival;

    ns1__ReconfigVMRequestType reconfigVMRequestType;

    reconfigVMRequestType.spc = & vmSpec;

    reconfigVMRequestType._USCOREthis = vmObject - & gt; obj; managed object - virtual machine

    NS1_ReconfigVM_USCORETaskResponse reconfigVMResponse;

    ns1__ManagedObjectReference * morResult = 0;

    If (vim - & gt; __ns1__ReconfigVM_USCORETask (reconfigVMRequestType, & reconfigVMResponse) == SOAP_OK) {}

    morResult = reconfigVMResponse.returnval;

    } else cost & lt; & lt; "Unable to machine virtual reconfig." & lt; & lt; ENDL;

    Now in vSphere Client it show me error like.

  • Impossible to deploy the virtual machine with customization.

    Hi all

    I have a model Winodws 2008 R2 Std and Ent.  I use to deploy virtual machines with the model using the Customization Wizard.  All of a sudden since 2 days I can't provision VMS with the wizard of customiation.  Earlier, there seems to be no problem with the customization, but when I turn on the virtual machine, I see errors, attached is the screen shot for your reference.

    After the error 2 the vm keeps restarting without end time.

    I don't know what is the cause.  Please help me with the problem.  Let me know if you need additional information.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey there,

    Have you tried to get the Microsoft Windows product key? And maybe the password in the profile customization.

    If this does not work, try using a new profile customization.

  • The mouse is confused - almost impossible to use the virtual machine more...

    Hello

    I use a number of VMWare (6.0.7 build-2844087) sessions player on my i7 quad core Windows 8.1 system for separate processes.  I don't do anything in my main boot environment is nice and clean.  I have a player for web browsing, one for email and a few others (game, video editing, etc.).  This separation gives me an easy backup/restore option for any computer virtual as well as prevention 1 VMS are attacked/infected/hacked/etc most I can lose, it is what is in this virtual machine.

    Something broke all of a sudden.  I don't know if it was the last update for VMware tools or some change made by windows update or maybe even a setting that I did.

    But now, my mouse is very confused.  If you look at the picture, you can see 2 pointers.  The bottom is my VM. The top appears with the VMWare container think that the mouse should be there. And the relationship between the 2 pointers constantly changes.  So I can select something in the virtual machine, but the tank of the virtual machine can think the mouse is on the VM bar and when I click the virtual computer closes, presentation of the changes of the screen, minimize, etc..

    badmouse.jpg

    I did some research.  All of my text is set to the smallest size (the most common fix I found.)  I have re-installed VMWare tools.  I tried to change the mouse settings in my VM and the primary host environment.

    It's to the point where I can't click without 1st checking the top of the window on my main screen or risk losing work, etc..

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank you

    If anyone is interested in distance, I finally solved the problem.  My guess is that I could have reinstalled the main operating system.  Instead, I've upgraded to 10 Windows and then installed Player 7.1.2.  On the plus side, no more problems with 2 pointers mouse with one randomly showing where and when he wanted.

    On the negative, I always have to press Ctrl-Alt to get to the VMWare bar at the top of the window.  But it is a small price to pay for now to be productive again.

    FWIW, my guess is that upgrading to 7.1.2 is really what makes the difference.

    I noticed that some of my virtual machines have been in a constant cycle "Reconfigure virtual machine" in Vcenter.  It is normally about every minute that they will come to the top in the section recent tasks.  The big question I have is what this would cause when there isn't anyone else connected to do anything to these devices.  Although devices always work and can be used I'm looking to solve it then its not not flooding section recent tasks.  Any ideas?

  • Storage vMotion - impossible to move the virtual machine

    All,

    I have recently upgraded to version 4.1 ESXi 4.1 U3 of VC2.5 ESX 3 vCenter Essentials - I decided to make my new vCenter server a VM - everything went well on the upgrade so I am now looking to do work on my storage system (EMC Celerra). I have virtually no space on my LUN and my CIFS shares are increasingly full also... However I have a file inside the EMC system which is 6 to size which houses a 200 GB LUN - it's the logic unit number that contains my VM vCenter. What I want to do is... move this vCenter VM off this LUN to local storage, reassign 6 TB to the pool file system and extend the 3 TB CIFS file system and then present the rest of the space as LUNS for VMware. My problem is that I'm not licensed for storage vMotion and they only way I can storage vMotion, VM off the coast of this LUN is to stop it and move it but because it's my vCenter Server I can perform this action by the customer.

    I guess I might need to drill holes in the host using putty to move the vmdk file, but I'm looking for any useful measure to enable me to move this virtual machine.

    Thank you

    If you are not allowed to Storage vMotion, then you can watch using VMware Converter and do a V2V.  Once the VM vCenter has been "copied" in the new destination LUN, it works, make sure that everything is right, then delete the 'old' vCenter VM disk.

  • Impossible to share the virtual machine

    Today, I made some changes to my server running VMWare workstation. It was a domain controller and I have dropped out of the field in a working group and removed the dns and the roles of the AD.

    Then I upgraded my version of VMWare Workstation from 9 to 11. However once the installation is complete, I open the app and I can access is no longer shared virtual computer. When I click on the shared link of the vm I get a prompt for the name of user and password and even if I try the local Admin account it wont let me connect.

    Suggestions?

    The problem was in fact. When I uninstalled a file still had to C:\ProgramData\VMWare. This folder has been set to have shared my old domain/Domain Admins access to the VM. I uninstalled, deleted this folder that has been left behind and reinstalled.

  • How to set vm-description/notes and get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine

    Hello guys,.
    I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
    (1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).

    (2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
    I need your help.
    Thanks in advance!

    With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:

    var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
    If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
    System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
    Now put the new notes:
    Start by creating a context
    Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
    Update the annotation with the new value property
    configSpec.annotation = notes;
    launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
    NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
    var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);

    And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

  • 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.

    I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

    Any idea what's going on?
