• New virtual machine insists on starting network before installation of the OS

  I used VMWare ESX, but am relatively new to VMWare workstation and completely new for v6.5.

  My host is a new Dell Studio 540 Core 2 Quad, loads of disk space and 6 GB of RAM, host operating system is Vista Home Premium SP1

  VMWare Workstation v6.5.2 using build 156735, bought vmware.com online.

  The problem I have is that when I create a virtual machine and try to install XP Pro, he insists on trying to boot from the network.

  Start-up of AMD Am79C970A NET
  & lt; copyright info & gt;
  CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 0c 29 5th C0 E4 GUID: & lt; GUID follows & gt;
  PXE - E53: no boot file received
  SME - M0F: Exit Intex PXE ROM
  Operating system not found

  I confirmed that the NETWORK adapter in the virtual machine has two 'connected' and ' connect at power on "checked.

  I tried to get into the BIOS, the CD is the first in the list, the & lt; SHIFT + 1 & gt; instructions to disable the network boot option does nothing.

  I'm tempted by using two physical media in the CD player a .iso, no luck.

  Can someone tell me where I'm wrong here?  Hope I've provided enough information.

  Thank you

  Happy that you guessed it sorted.

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• Keyboard not configured by the new virtual machine

  Hi Experts,

  I am very new to VMWare stuffs. Recently, I've converted a physical machine (windows XP) machine virtual with VMware Converter v3.0.0 by using the Import of machine function and then configured using the configure machine button. I don't change any customization of the virtual computer. Now I have a VM (virtual machine workstation 5.x) of the PC. So I closed the physical computer and starting the virtual machine on a different computer using VMware Workstation v6.5.1. When you start the virtual machine appears "your guest operating system is Windows XP and you have one or more virtual SCSI peripheral isntalled in your virtual machine. Please be aware that XP does not support the BusLogic SCSI adapter that VMware workstation is currently using for virtual peripherals... Download the driver... ». I press OK to continue.

  Now, VM, boots and to connect, I press altcltinsert but VM is not recognizing this command. Only the mouse running inside the virtual machine as I can drag the message autour window, but not any command of the keyboard. So, I am struck at the login page of the virtual computer window.

  A tip for the login and the keypad?

  Thank you.

  Stop VM, between in his option material vitual to version 4 (used in Workstation 6.x) and re-install VMTools.

• A new system with a clean install of Win 7 64 bit Pro. Try to install win XP virtual machine.

  A new system with a clean install of Win 7 64 bit Pro.  Try to install win XP virtual machine. The virtual machine "put" file installs and then restarts.  During the configuration phase it reboots it gets 94% done gives a message 'update failed' and said that no files have been modified.  I redownlaoded the file and reinstalled several times.  I changed the bios to make sure that hardware virtualization is enabled.  All tests that microsft has said that my Machine is fine.  However I can not get the software\update of the virtual machine in order to install properly.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.  Bruce

• Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

  We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

  There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

  In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

  We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

  But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

  and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

  Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

  Best regards.

  I already found the solution.

  With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

  Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.

• Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

  Hello

  I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

  4.1 for Update1/2

  My plan will be

  (1) creating new virtual machine.

  (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

  Anything else missing then please let me know.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Hi vmguy

  I agree with this approach

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

  Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

  This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

  Just to add:

  You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

  See: Migrateing vCenter new host

  Please allow points if you find this useful/correct

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  Stéphane

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Failed to create new virtual machines on a new install of Vmware Server2

  I don't know what is your experience with this database, but from what I've seen performance problems of database in the virtual machines are usually caused by bad disk i/o. CPU or memory must not be the problem in a virtual machine.

• HDD USB not recognized as "physical1" when creating the new virtual machine

  Hi all

  I wanted to create a new virtual machine, and I wanted to use my USB as a physical drive.

  But Workstation shows me "physical0" which is of course my drive internal.

  I tried USB pen drives. They are not recognized either.

  This somehow is no longer supported? I would have that it would be possible to use USB external HDD as the physical drive to a new virtual machine.

  you have installed VirtualBox?

  If so, you can try to use the virtuaklbox command line tool to create a descriptor of rawdisk for this disc.

  say diskpart on this drive? -It is "online"?

• Assessment of Windows has expired the vcenter - how to recreate in a new virtual machine?

  For reasons I won't go into detail, the Windows evaluation period has expired for a VM running vCenter server for a project I'm working on that.  They have the license key is not the media that they installed, so once they have the appropriate support, they will create a new virtual machine with the installation of operating system licensed correctly and install vCenter Server/MSDE on it from scratch (the same way the other VM was built).  What is the best way to get over as much information as possible from the old instance of vCenter?  (We can not do related modes because we cannot connect to the old VM more.)

  > Is there a good way to replicate this info from the old DB to new DB

  Well don't know if you want to say that Oracle or SQL.  If it is easy SQL, simply move the entire file *.dbf VC points currently on the new server of DB.  That's why I love SQL server, easy migration.

• ESXi embedded, cannot start the new virtual machine

  We have installed just a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with ESXi embedded.  That part went well.  I am able to connect through the client.  I can create a new virtual machine.  That's where I met problems.  No matter what I tried the machine does not start.  I ' v tried the host device as CDROM, the device as CDROM, and even customer created ISO W2003 CD and downloaded.  I can't understand why he won't start.   Whenever he tried to boot from the network or when he fails he just says "operating system not found" and stays like that.  I started in the bios of the virtual machine and made sure the startup options are correct, etc.  I'm lost.

  I read this forum for like a day and while I see some who have had similar problems, I have not seen this precise question or a question with an answer that applies to my question.  It could be the pre holiday drink

  I hope someone can advise.

  Thank you

• OsCustomizationSpec and OSCustomizationNicMapping they are a good way to set up the new virtual machine for the model

  I build a script to generate auto magicly VM when I have import information from a csv file. I have the latest PowerCli, I am trying to build servers r2 Sever 2012 model.  I tried several OsCustomizationSpec (OCS) of in the hope of getting something to work, but I had no luck so far.  In VCenter, it shows that it applies the OCS, but is not apear to have an impact on the server.  I have disabled UAC since the last time that I tried it so maybe that will make a difference.  I am under ESXi 5.1 update 2, just to try to give all the necessary information.  Ideally, I'd like Sysprep, the value of intellectual property, change the computer name and join the server to the domain.  That's all! lol I have the book "VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reffernece, automating vSphere Administration, I walked through step by step.  The new version of PowerCli seems not have the x 86 limitation as earlier versions of PowerCli.  I tried so many different things, I'm not sure what to put in place as a starting point.

  # Save the object credentials with permission to join the domain.
  $DomainCredentials = get-Credential "domain\testername."
  # Clone our Spec by adding the domain information.
  $Spec = get-OSCustomizationSpec "Windows Server 2012 R2"
  $Spec += get-OSCustomizationNicMapping - Spec $Spec
  #$Spec | Select *.

  # Get our VM
  # Change network settings
  Get - VM BigServername | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName nic - 172.16.25 - VLAN225 - connected: $true '
  -Confirm: $false | out-null
  # Close the comments to make change.

  # Wait while feedback stops
  While ($vm. ExtensionData.Runtime.PowerState - not "poweredOff")
  {
  Start-Sleep - seconds 1
  $vm. ExtensionData.UpdateViewData ('Runtime.PowerState')
  }
  # Apply Spec customization to apply the new network settings
  Get - VM "BigServername" |
  Set-VM - OSCustomizationSpec "R2 Windows Server 2012" - confirm: $false |
  Start-VM

  I can rebuild the model, or something else, we must do this work.

  OR - is simply not the best way to configure the VM?  If not, what Sysprep?

  Good news, but first, I would really like to know where the log files are on which server to the OsCustomization process.

  I decided to reverse engineer and create a CSOS within vCeneter and once I got to work, I kept creating new CSO via PowerCli until I could get that to work, create a new virtual machine.  Once I got this to work, I have tryied to apply on a cloned vm, with no parameters. I got it works too.  I tried to go back to my original image, but I couldn't get this to work.  Something's wrong with this picture.  He wrath that the problem was related to the permissions on the local client.

  This seems to be very picky.  Because the area is one of the parameters, you cannot put it in the DomainUsername, no dom\dadmin. The part that I really want to know how to get more, is what happens if your vm has a different local administrator as the administrator account.  It turns out that FullName - is not the account that it to connect locally with tires.

  I think that it is good to know that the virtual machine reboot 4 or 5 times as it goes through this process.  It breaks is you try and do something for the virtual machine that interrupt the process.  I don't know that I'll think more questions in a second.

  In addition, it cost he had some problems with the put between quotation marks, single or double around the password, but I did not check this again, I just know that once I took them, he began to work.  I ran on other issues while testing as I was using a single IP address, so if I do not disable the test VM, the following would not work because of the conflct network, maybe I shouldn't admit that... lol
