• Inaccessible virtual machines on VMware Server 2.0 Linux

  I'm sure it's something simple.  Everything was fine until 2 days ago. Newly added VMs and data warehouses would record no problem, but after a reboot, everything is inaccessible. The web interface is painfully slow.  I decided to keep things simple and start with 1 data store and 2 virtual machines.  Config files attached. Under ubuntu 9.04

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I'm happy to hear.

• Recovering files on a virtual machine that is inaccessible

  .

  Hi all

  My vm is deceased and I need help, recover, or at least the files it contains. I think I might of a lack of space because I have tried to delete some files and copied them accidentally, causing its gel and get this tint gray on the window. I then tried to shut it down and it would not, so I went into the Task Manager and killed the process, and now when I try to open it, it gives me "generic error". Is there a way I can recover the files on this virtual machine?

  Is this a problem?

  It is of course!

  You need you have extra space for other things like the .vmem file which is the size of the RAM that is assigned to the Virtual Machine and this isn't the only thing that you need extra space for the.

  Anyway you should make a copy of the virtual machine on a different drive having a more adequate space then and try to execute it or attempt to recover data from the user.

• See the Windows 10 virtual machines as "Available" in the administration Console, even while users are connected

  Hello

  I have the situation where a bunch of persistent Windows 10 VM VDI (several pools, all VM 1 by manual pool) are ALWAYS shown as 'Available' in Admin mode, even when a user is connected. Using PCoIP or RDP has no importance.

  Description:

  -All the time, desktop never appears as 'connected' in the Admin view when users log on. It's always 'available', which is dead wrong in the first place.

  -L' use of PCoIP disconnects-> reconnects with PCoIP or RDP.

  -Using RDP at a certain point however, triggers the message of "sources of funds available for this desktop computer are currently busy" clients of the view. Re-login impossible at all from that moment, regardless of the protocol used.

  -Once again, yet these VM Win10 see as "available" regardless of the actual status.

  -There is no firewall between windows 10 VM and connection brokers (who have no problem replication).

  -Restarting the agent from the view and related services does not 'release' of the virtual machine. It will still say 'sources of funds available for this desktop computer are currently busy.

  -Only a restart of the operating system can erase it and make the available virtual machine to connect again.

  -While the virtual machine is amplified shutdown or restart, desktop shows as "inaccessible Agent" so there is communication between Agents and brokers.

  Windows 7 persistent VM works 100% normal in all respects. It's only 10 VM Windows and... Since a round patch in a few weeks (I was this problem since then). Before some patch does this (but have no evidence) these VM Windows 10 has worked well with view 6.2.0

  These virtual machines are highly customized with special software and can not be simply rebuild. I re-install VMtools, view Agent etc etc several times. No dice. Even tried a fresh install of Windows (connected to the same level), still shows this behavior.

  All this started a few weeks back after a round Patch from Microsoft. Then maybe a M$ Patch assigned Agent of the view. So I uninstalled/re-installed the Agent of 62 reviews. Improved 6.2 to 6.2.2 etc. all to nothing does not. New, old, VMtools Agents re-installed. I've tried everything now.

  Has anyone seen this or someone can point me in the right direction for troubleshooting? I haven't noticed any funky stuff in the papers, but I'm probably tunnel vision/search the bad things after all this time.

  I do view since the early days, but I'm really stumped this time. I am all of these ideas.

  I reworded my question in another post and found the answer here:

  Win10 Desktop shows never "connected" while the user is logged

• VMX and newspapers for the Virtual Machine

  Hi guys

  I had a virtual machine that is running but view vcenter is inaccessible

  

  take a look at the data store that I see the Virtual Machine lack .vmx file and saves the files, so I already schedule maintenance for my client windows, but I just want to be sure about:

  -Stop VM

  -Remove the inventory

  -create a new virtual machine and add the existing virtual drive

  -Power on VM, everything should be good

  

  Basically follow this KB

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002294

  Or should I be worried about the consistency of VMDK?

  Thank you very much

  > Or should I be worried about the consistency of VMDK?

  Less consistency, but more info on missing hard of header/descriptor files! It seems that someone tried to delete files of the virtual machine from the store data, but because of the locks on files that only some files have been deleted. According to the used backup application, you may be able to recover the missing files in the backup. If not, you can for example follow VMware KB: Re-create a missing virtual machine disk descriptor file, or create a new virtual machine in a laboratory environment (with the same disc size, configuration and the name) and allows to download the .vmx and hard descriptor WinSCP example files. If you have enough disk space in the lab, creating thin configured virtual disks and then change the file descriptor (remove ddb.thinProvisioned = '1')

• PowerCLI script to migrate virtual machines to the new vCenter environment

  Hello world

  in the next few weeks, we need about migrate 700 VMs (Windows/Linux) server to a new environment (new vCenter, new hosts, but VMs will remain on same data warehouses). VMs will be migrated not in one batch, but rather from time to time (which, however, can understand the need to migrate some 10s of virtual machines at the same time).

  Cluster names and folder structure will be identical to the old and the new vCenters. As host in the new vCenter names differ from those in the old vCenter, thought to provide a table of 'translation', which tells the script to save a given VM on host B (new vCenter) when having been registered in order to host a (old vCenter) and so on.

  I thought writing a PowerCLI script which, broadly speaking, can accomplish the following steps:

  • Connect to vCenterOld and vCenterNew
  • Correspondence table of host to read from a file (see step "register VM vCenterNew below)

  Then, in a loop:

  • Ask VM name
  • Get the settings of the virtual machine: Datastore/path, network/Portgroup, HA restart priority, host, folder, note
  • View the parameters and the VM name and request confirmation migrate the virtual machine
  • Turn off VM (closed OS gracefully, but force power off if power status is still not equal 'off' after a time given)
  • To unsubscribe from VM vCenterOld (removal of inventory)
  • Registry of the VM to the data store vCenterNew (assumptions: same folder as vCenterOld, host names are different, but for each source in vCenterOld host a host of destination in vCenterNew for you join the virtual machine to can be provided, that is, CSV)
  • The value of VM portgroup (same name as in vCenterOld)
  • Set VM HA restart priority
  • PowerON VM
  • Wait / check the VM (for example, ping) connectivity / continue immediately if the virtual machine is accessible or after a certain time if the virtual machine is still inaccessible
  • Confirm that the virtual machine has been migrated successfully, OR ask the user to check the connectivity of the virtual machine

  Now to my questions:

  • Is anyone know about an existing script that does something similar or contains parts that can be useful to compile a script like this?
  • How can vCenter two connections at the same time been managed within a PowerCLI script - or doesn't work at all and a connect/disconnect to/from the two vCenters must be completed for each virtual computer?

  Many thanks for any help.

  The following seems to work for me

  $vm = Get-VM -Name MyVM$nic = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vm $vdPG = $nic | select -ExpandProperty NetworkName
  
  Get-VDPortgroup -Name $vdPG
  

• VMWare Fusion 6, after upgrade cannot copy and paste between virtual machines, desktop missing files

• The Exchange 2010 on Esxi 5.0 virtual machine snapshot

  Dear Experts,

  We have Exchange 2010 VM under windows 2008 R2 on Esxi 5.0. I need to make the updates of windows on this machine. I want to inform if it is okay to take instant Exchange 2010 machine before performing windows updates and then delete the snapshot once the updates are performed successfully, OR it is not good to go for the snapshot and back problems due to the behavior of the application exchange 2010 I/O.

  Please let know us your opinion.

  Kind regards

  Jocelyn

  But by the way in this case once the updates are successful and we want to remove the snapshot that we took earlier by turning off the virtual machine, to remove again he must turn off the Exchange 2010 VM?

  No, you don't have to. turn off the functions of the virtual machine as a precaution to ensure that you capture a consistent instant State of the virtual machine and it is the system of files/databases, in the cases where you may need to restore the virtual computer. It is not necessary when the snapshot is deleted.

  Towards the end of the removal of snapshot operation, the virtual machine will be soon stun/unstunned to merge the last exceptional blocks into the basic disk. This basically any time a break the VM to stop him from delivering IO and the creation of delta data more, but it's transparent to the client (similar to a vMotion). You can see a loss of ping or two, or clusters of DAG can initiate a failover the virtual machine is a little inaccessible, but it should be no. impact on or be heard by the customer.

  Merging delta of the snapshot in the basic disk can take a long time, depending on how big the delta grew at the same time and the amount of data continues to be changed upon removal. The process will put some additional IO load on the storage, so I recommend you usually do the delete operation during off-peak hours. Also, make sure that you have enough free space on the data store to meet the growth of delta file.

  If we don't take any snapshot for this virtual machine, we can also directly proceed the updates of windows as we do in the event of physical Exchange Server, right?

  Yes, there is no difference for physical systems in this regard.

• VMWAre HA MUST have an MS cluster so that the virtual machine have to reboot?

  This statement is correct?

  HA does not have 0 downtime. There is a period where the virtual machines will be inaccessible until the node determines she is isolated and HA procedures begin.

  The clustering of MS bit is the Microsoft implementation of virtualization also HypeV, it does not provide 100% uptime as the cluster failover event takes time to complete.

  Now, I hear with continuous availability ESX 4, we get 100% uptime on the VMS during outages of the host, but we will have to wait and see.

• Merge cannot make Boot Camp virtual machine: perhaps too many places of the VM?

  I get the error message, well known in the VM library window "Bundle" & lt; pathname & gt; "" / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmware.vm Camp "is damaged and cannot be opened."   However, my problem is not solved by the solutions proposed elsewhere in this forum.

  At the bottom of this post, I listed my host config and invited desired config.

  Here is a brief history, followed by what happened when I tried the solution of WoodyZ published here.

  • I had Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Boot Camp partition, but somehow ended up 'inaccessible' SigmaTel audio device and the Leopard installation DVD could not repair it.  I imported this partition to Boot Camp in the Fusion as a virtual machine.  This virtual machine is now stored on the external hard drive in "/ Volumes/ExternHFS/_CCCnonBackup/virtualMachines/Boot partition.vmwarevm"+ Camp.»  This virtual machine still works when loading in the merger, but the sound does not work, nor made a called M-audio Transit USB connector.  That's why I decided to create a new partition in Boot Camp with a SigmaTel audio device cool.

  • There are Kubuntu and NetBSD virtual computers stored in another default folder: yangguizi/Users / / Documents/Virtual Machines /

  • Using wizard Boot Camp in Leopard, I erased my Boot Camp partition and then recreated with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2.  (By the way, I've formatted this partition in NTFS.)  This Boot Camp partition is the device of SigmaTel installed and accessible from the control panel.

  So I wanted to make a virtual machine of the new Boot Camp partition.  When I opened the merger, I highlighted the new Boot Camp partition down and clicked on the arrow of comments are starting to the right.  A window saying "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. "That window remained open for 45 minutes.  Finally, I closed merge by clicking the choice of menu to quit Vmware Fusion.

  Thereafter, whenever I opened the merger, I saw the message "Bundle" / Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmware.vm "is damaged and cannot be opened.' " next to the new Boot Camp partition.

  When I highlighted this new Boot Camp partition in the VM library and you press the delete key, absolutely nothing changed, that I could see.  Right click on the list of this score showed that the menu choice 'delete' is gray.

  Then I closed the merger, and then manually moving the file to the trash "/ Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp / '.

  The next time I opened the merger, a new icon for the Boot Camp partition has been displayed at the bottom, with the subtitle "Powered Off".  When I clicked on the icon start Guest, a new folder/Boot Camp / was created in the same place, and the never-ending open window showing "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. " Blah, blah, blah.  If the cycle turned up.

  I am at a loss what to try next.  Here are three assumptions about the problem:

  1. Fusion has been confused by the three communities during which I virtual machines.

• Fusion has been confused by the fact that I have, potentially, two virtual machines called "Boot Camp partition".  The older is actually a virtual machine hard disk external.

• When I installed XP in the Boot Camp partition, the external Firewire drive was running. Then installing Windows saw much more of partitions on which XP could in theory have been installed.  This may have confused merge somehow, even if I successfully installed XP on partition C, which was 32 GB.

Did fix you this problem?  Even if you haven't, what do you suggest me I try next?

Thank you, Yang Guizi

You can just get rid of the all/Users/lincoln/Library/Application Support / directory / Machines/virtual VMware Fusion; It should all be recreated. The virtual machine to help naos is than the pretreatment of Boot Camp. You don't want to get rid of all the of them, the only one in the specified directory.

• What App would you recommend to run virtual machines on an Imac?

  I would try to have virtual machines running on my IMac, but I'm having a hard time finding any material on this topic from apple.

  Ideally, I would like to my main x os to start and then simply turn a small virtual machines or containers from OSX.

  Any recommendations? or articles about the support of Apple for such a thing?

  There are three choices:

  Parallels Desktop for Mac

  VM fusion

  VirtualBox

  The first two are commercial products. The third is a free, open source. Three Parallels is the best.

• Power MacBook from 2016 for Windows virtual machines?

  Hello

  Can anyone with real experience let me know if Spring 2016 up-to-date as MacBook have the ability to run VMware Fusion and a 2 or 4 GB Windows 7 or 10 VMS?

  My local Apple store have answers that are different with none of them being honest users of VMware Fusion or IT pros understand my needs to run heavy client VMware and other Windows applications not too demanding.

  As a point of reference, my i7 '2011 mi' Air is sufficient. It looks like a new MacBook a faster memory and storage but perhaps not the power of the older i7.

  I don't want to waste time and to return a product if it does not work well so all ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I have the new base model 2016; I got the base model 2015 too, and Windows 10 was OK under VMware.

  It depends on what you want to do with your virtual machine.

  However, if I were you, I prefer a 'real' basic PC, powered with Teamviewer. It's really easier, this save your battery and life SSD.

• 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

• Can I use the Windows Vista I had with my Toshiba laptop on virtual machine?

  Hey all

  I have changed Microsoft for Macintosh, but installed on a virtual machine (oracle vm virtual machine) my Windows Vista I got with my Toshiba Satellite A350D Notebook previous. I installed Vista with the recovery disk. Now he asks me the Windows Vista product key. The sticker on the back of my laptop is more readable. I run the Belarc Advisor to get the product key in this way. But right now, he said: "it's the product key installed at the factory by the manufacturer rather than yours. You can change this to your product key here for Windows http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=45668"

  My question: am I not allowed to use windows vista legally, I had with my computer toshiba laptop on other devices? I won't use the Thoshiba laptop. Do I have to delete the record from the Thoshiba laptop? Where can I get a new product key?

  Maybe someone can help me here. Thank you in advance for taking your time to read this.

  Betty

  Recovery disk or recovery image is designed for some cell phone only and is not a kind of universal image that can be used on other devices. It comes with the laptop.

  You can use the Microsoft Windows disk with valid license on each device. Recovery image is not only BONES. This is the package that contains the drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
  As you also know recovery image when you install it on your laptop must be turned on not so the license code downstairs just proves you have purchased a valid license with your laptop.
  > Should I remove the record of the Toshiba laptop?
  Not why do this?
  > Where can I get a new product key?
  You cannot get it because you need when you use the recovery image on your Satellite A300D. I think even you will hear of Toshiba.
