• 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..

  

  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.

• 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.

  Let us know how things work!

  See you soon,.

• Share the virtual machine created in VMWare Player

  Hi all

  I created a virtual machine Ubuntu based using VMWare Player. The goal of this virtual machine is so it can be used for demonstrations on our societies SaaS based appliction. So basically the image works fine now, I have a few questions:

  1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

  2. If open the image in VMWare Player if he invites asking them 'have you copied"/"Moved"the virtual machine? Can I avoid this?

  3. it will work on their equipment?

  Any help appreciated.

  See you soon

  I can help you with your questions;

  1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

  Zipper the VM directory should work correctly, it will just extract somewhere on their machine to run it.

  2. If open the image in VMWare Player it will ask asking them

  "You copied" / "Moved" the virtual machine? Can I avoid

  This?

  To the best of my knowledge, you can't avoid it, and they should probably answer "copied" in the situation you describe.

  3. it will work on their equipment?

  It's a pretty loaded question.  Obviously, it must be run the Intel instruction set and have a Player version available for their OS.  I ran with success of virtual machines on a laptop Centrino 1.6 GHz single core, but startup performance left a little to be desired.  I think that a minimum of 1 GB of memory for a host running XP or Linux, probably at least 2 GB for one of the more recent Windows operating systems.  More memory would be better, but it will probably work with what I suggested.  Of course, player must be installed on these hosts.  Then make sure that the parameter memory your VM is as small as you can reasonably do.

  I have provided virtual machines by providing copies of the record, and they worked very well.  In my case, I created my VMs on my Mac with Fusion, but then run it with Fusion or player.

• 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 delete the virtual machine that is stuck at 95%, can you all help me to solve this problem.

• 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.

• How users share a virtual machine with the level of access under total control?

  Hello

  In our Lab Manager environment, we have created workspaces and users can create and share virtual machines in these workspaces. The problem is the level of access only I can see when users share virtual machines is read-only. How can users share their machines with other users with the full control access level?

  Thank you.

  It is a constraint of security designed to prevent the full control permission, being too easy accidentally to give everyone in a system.

  The answer depends on whether you have PF3 or LM4.

  Behavior of PF3: share to everyone in an org is read-only, while sharing a physical person should give you full read/write/control

  LM4 behavior: share in all the world in an org, individuals selected in an org or anyone in a different workspace == read-only, while in the same workspace gives you the opportunity.

  That said, total control: the ability to deploy/undeploy it or change the settings of the virtual machine, NOT if the specified user has write access the console.  The distinction is quite important.

  Also, page followed, but he had the wrong information, there may be an arbitrary number of connections of the competing console to the same VM (oh, I'm sure that there is a limit, but I did not deliberately try to find).  It does give the impression that several people are faced with the same mouse and keyboard...

• Impossible to get 'notes' of the virtual machine

  I tried to use a powershell script to get information from the virtual machine. I can get VMHost, VMname and GuestVersion using the script in the following, but failed to get the notes of the virtual machine. Anyone know why I can't get notes, please help me with that. Thank you in advance.

  report = @)
  foreach ($vmView in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine))
  {
  $report += $vmView. Select-Object @{Name = "$vmhost"; Expression = {($vmView.Runtime.Host Get-View).} Name}},
  @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},
  @{Name = 'Notes'; Expression = {$_.} Description}},

  @{Name = "GuestVersion"; {Expression = {$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
  }
  $report | Sort-Object VMName-descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" - NoTypeInformation

  There is no need to do it with the cmdlet Get-View.

  You can do

  $report = @()foreach ($vm in Get-VM){    $report += $vm | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={($_.Host).Name}},            @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},            @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Description}},            @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}}$report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

  If you want to do with the cmdlet Get-View for any reason, you can do

  $report = @()
  foreach ($vmView in (Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine))
  {
      $report += $vmView | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={(Get-View $vmView.Runtime.Host).Name}},
              @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},
              @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Config.Annotation}},
              @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
  }
  $report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

  But note that as you need a view of the GET each time for the host name, performance will suffer.

• Impossible to expand the D: drive on the virtual machine

  I tried to increase disk vmdk file to another 20Gb.When D: I went to change the setting, the option to increase the size of the disk is grayed out.

  My ESX Server that is having the VM is not added to the virtual Center Server.

  In Edit framework I have seen

  Vitual machine version: 4

  type of thick disk configuration

  size of 25GB available

  Maximum S/o

  Please let me know if there is an option to increase the size of vmdk file.

  have you created a snapshot of the virtual machine? If there is a snapshot, you are not able to extend the disks of the virtual machine.

  Are you unable to extend all or only the road d disks? I have had this a few times and the only way to extend the drive was by turn off the virtual machine. Never understood why it was.

  With sincere friendships.

• How to share between the host drive and the virtual machine in the car?

  I wanted to use my virtual XP to print using my old printer that the printer driver can only support XP. But I can't find a way to link my host and the virtual drive, because my file is located in the host drive.

  1 change the settings of the virtual machine

  2. go to the Options tab

  3. Select shared folders

  4. Select always enabled

  5 Add the folder that you want to use

  6. Select map as a network drive in Windows prompt

• I have a problem with the password on the virtual machine.

  Original title: passwords & Windows 7 virtual machines

  Hello

  I am running windows 7 pro 32 bit, with a windows XP virtual to develop existing software.

  The hosts & VM connect to a file on the network server. The file server is running windows XP, the network is a simple working group. I've manually created a limited user on the file server with the same name and password as my logon to windows 7.

  Today, I changed my password to connect to windows 7, which I am not as often as the security people recommend that I do. I changed the password on the file server to synchronize and also the password on the virtual computer.

  The virtual machine is maintaining however, somewhere the old password, which crashes, and I get the logon screen. If I enter the new password it connects then. I went into the settings of the VPC and delete the credentials saved, without effect. I removed "enable on startup" of integration features, also without effect.

  So I get the password in the VPC, but then I have to enter the password to access the network share. Or I can enter the password each time I start the virtual machine. The second is less painful, but still annoying.

  Any thoughts?

• Unable to add the virtual machine network services

  Hello:

  I already read that warning Virtual PC 2007 is not compatible with win 7-64.
  However, I read that it is "unofficially" possible launch.
  OK, I installed it and it worked except networking.
  Basically, I need to install the Virtual Machine Network Services.
  I right click on my network card-> properties-> install-> services-> virtual machine network services (VPC2007 folder: where I can see VMNetSrv.inf)
  Then says Windows: it is impossible to add the requested feature. The specified service has been marked for deletion.

  The problem is that I get this error even on WinXP SP3, so I think that there is something else wrong.

  And of course, Virtual PC 2007 available networks are only: no connection, Local, NAT.  (Missing my physical adapter)
