• I have a product key for a pre-installed version of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, now I need an ISO standard for installation in a virtual machine

  Hello

  I bought a refurbished machine that came with Win 7 Pro pre-installed. I erased the HARD drive. Completely. Nothing more.

  I don't want Win 7 installed on the drive, but I need an ISO to install it in a virtual machine for research reasons.

  I tried to download the ISO of http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery, but when I gave the product key, I got a response that I should turn to the vendor of the computer and that is preloaded.

  When I did and asked an ISO, they told me to download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery. This seems to be the only source for Windows ISOs left in the world.

  So, I run long in circles... infinte loop... :-(

  How can I solve this misery?

  Thanks for the replies!

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. ISO file which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options?

• no storage device found more by guest operating system installation on a virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm trying to install a guest on a new virtual machine operating system, but I can't go forward.

  I use a Dell PowerEdge 2850 , the hypervisor Server VMware ESXi 3.5 update 3 and the VMware Infrastructure Client on my computer with operating system Windows XP host.

  I am able to create a new virtual machine, but also to start on a cd for installing a guest operating system, which is (still) of Windows XP. During the installation-Setup asks me to press on enter for a new installation, the next thing is a screen with the message that Setup cannot find any storage device! It's weird, because I use the same as other data store created vm is imposed and other virtual machines always work. I created the new virtual machine several times and deleted, this is no problem. I restarted the server, but that did not help.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  I also met this problem with a fresh install of XP VM.  Windows XP does not have a driver for the BusLogic or free storage controller... without that driver, only the virtual controller is not

  recognized and drives are not found.

• Is it possible - installation of a virtual machine with Server 2008 on a disc and use the other drive for storage

  I have a Dell power edge server with 2 Configuration of disks 1 TB in raid 0

  I can install a Win Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 on a VD without problem, but I do not see the other disk of TB in option within Windows Server to be used as storage SQL only.

  How can I get the two disks to appear in Windows server?

  what I want is:

  First Dell 1 TB drive VD = Server 2008R2 and SQL on C:\

  Second VD Dell 1 TB drive = D:\ like disk storage

  do I have to configure the Dell VD another way or is it possible

  
  

  Thank you

  
  

  
  

  You basically configure the virtual machine that you want on all the available storage (do not forget to keep free space, for example snapshots). -As I understand it - is so that ESXi does not see the storage! This is often caused by the RAID controllers not taken in charge or the RAID issues. Please check if the RAID controller is supported as well as the configuration. BTW. Why do you want to configure RAID0? If you want to create two virtual disks on warehouses of separate data anyway, simply present to ESXI as two separate disks/volumes.

• Deploy a Virtual Machine (Sched Task Wizard) no long has option to power on VM?

  Hi, as the title suggests of thread - I can't find the option to power on the virtual machine after deployment, where is she?

  You are right.  In vCenter4 a scheduled task does you not option when deploying a new virtual machine to power on the virtual machine.  The virtual machine does not deploy, but you will have to manually turn

  Sounds like a feature request for me, in fact it's weird.

• installation of 24 virtual machines on a Sandy Bridge 8 Core CPU (E5-2690)

  Hello

  I have a 24 machines (most of them are Centos) that don't require a lot of CPU.

  they require more memory power.

  does make sense, and it is possible to install these many servers on a server with a single physical processor with 8 cores?

  Thank you!!

  Dothan.

  Right, along with the free version of ESXi, you are limited to 32 GB of RAM for each host.

  32 or 64 bit shouldn't matter.

• Space disk in VMware player management and virtual machines

  I have VMware Player installed on a computer with Windows 7.  I installed VMware Player on the C drive where Windows resides. I have a VM installed, which is Ubuntu 10.4LTS.  My hard drive is 250 GB.  DRV is about 47GB and about 9 GB is free.  The rest of the hard drive is not allocated.

  If I install any addition of VM, looks like I may need to extend C to enlarge.  Or, if I add the partitions via the host OS, i.e. of Win 7, can I appoint a different partition during the installation of another virtual machine?

  I hope I have it clear.  If this isn't the case, please ask for clarification.

  Also, could I have installed VMware Player on one partition other than C

  When I initially installed it?

  You can uninstall VMware Player WITHOUT damaging your existing virtual machines.  Then you could go ahead and create a new partition and then re-install VMware Player, then move the virtual machines on the new partition and then reopen.

• I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

  Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

  I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

  If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

  Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

• Transfer of personal use of Boot Camp Virtual Machine license

  Hello!

  I bought a disc of system integrator OEM 64 - bit Windows 8 for use under the terms of the personal use license and it installed on my MacBook Pro using Boot Camp.
  It turns out that the integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000) is not available in configuration dual-boot.
  so I cannot use the dedicated graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6750 M) (for which I should apparently accused Apple, but that's off-topic anyway).
  Using the graphics card Intel (for example Quick Sync Video support) has been the reason why I chose a dual boot as opposed to a virtual machine configuration.
  Because this does not work, I will try and transfer the installation on a virtual machine in the near future.
  I understand that the personal use license does not allow me to run the two facilities (Boot Camp and VM), but do I have that right to say
  the conditions of licence it is for me to transfer the license to a virtual machine, as I have delete the partition Boot Camp of my MacBook Pro?
  Assuming the above is correct, how exactly would ensure the transfer is as painless as possible? For example:
  -AFAICT I would have to get in touch with a Microsoft Product Activation Center by phone.
  Is there a better and/or other method or is it my best bet?
  -It would be best to call before you do anything, or only after the installation of Windows in the VM (i.e. upon activation)?
  -Should what information I have ready to give Microsoft?

  That's right, simply remove the installation of Boot Camp, then you can transfer to a virtual computer and reactivate by phone:

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  Nope. activation of the phone is your only option.

  You can not, you make the call "after" you have transferred the license.

• Virtual machine session is not a camera

  I use VMWare Player 5 with an installation of Windows XP to support a camera (Canon Powershot G1) that doesn't have any driver for any version of Windows.

  He worked for a while, but now it does not work.  I don't remember if I had to configure whatever it is some way to make it work at the outset.

  There is no icon for the camera in the toolbar of the player where to appear other configurable devices (optical drive, etc.).  XP does not detect the camera.  The OS (Win Vista) of the host, but as I said there is no (native or Canon) driver for it.  It doesn't seem to matter that I have connect/power on the camera before or after that XP is running in the drive.  Similarly, it does not seem serious if I disable the entry does not work in Vista Device Manager.

  The camera itself looks very good and still work if I plug it into a PC running XP.

  How to solve this?

  It seems that the installation of XP virtual machine was probably corrupted, because when I created a new virtual machine and install XP in it, the camera was detected fine.

• The virtual machine files

  Hello;

  Just noticed that in my data store, there are several folders to a single virtual machine, e.g. VM-Marketing, it also has Marketing_1-VM and VM-Marketing_2.

  When I go on the 'change settings' of this virtual machine, in the hardware tab, and on the hard drive, it's going to [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmdk.

  Then in the General Options in the 'Options' tab, the Configuration of the VM tab is [datastore] VM-Marketing_2/VM - Marketing.vmx

  It seems that my VM it working in the VM-Marketing_2 file in the data store, what about the other two?, this virtual machine, it is quite heavy, it has a 80 GB HARD drive and I have 3 of them if total 240 GB, so can I remove them?, is there something I can do atin the VCenter?

  The content of this files are:

  Welcome to the community - VM when is created ESX, it will use the name of the default computer name of directory where the virtual machine and its files will be stored - if a directory with that name already exists, it increments the directory with _1, _2 etc - so I am betting by the same VMs na, e were created before the one you have currently in production - Maybe the intention had been to delete these virtual machines, but when they have been deleted, rather than by selecting delete from the disk - remove inventory has been selected which will keep the directory structure.

• Shows poor drive on a virtual machine of SBS 2008 under ESXI 4.1

  Hi all

  I'll be back with a question on the locations of files vmdk and best practices.

  With my colleague a great discussion raised about vmdk locations for a virtual machine that runs a heavy installation of SBS 2008. Where to place the files vmdk on the data store, and how to optimize for best performance.

  This is the context. We recently bought a ML350 G6 server with 2 * RAID1 SAS 10 k. We have installed ESXI 4.1 on the first RAID1 array (datastore1) and the second RAID1 array, we created datastore2.

  On the ESXI server, we have created a VM SBS2K8. And here is the discussion:

  We have configured the vitual HDD for this virtual machine as follows:

  DATASTORE1:

  Next to the ESXI installation, we created 1 vmdk where we have installed OS by VM SBS2K8 partition

  DATASTORE2:

  We have created the 2nd vmdk where we have installed the DATA by VM SBS2K8 partition

  For your information, directly after the installation we moved the log files and database Exchange on the second partition on DATASTORE2

  Everything was nice during installation of the virtual machine, also during the installation of SBS 2008. The problems came just after the end of the import of the pst files in the Exchange database (+ / 20 GB for pst all together).

  The virtual machine is so slow, when we try to copy, backup files locally. I checked the performance graph in VSphere Client when we copied the files or backup. The disk latency, data store, virtual disks to the level has exploded.

  This is a point that the console has become completely insensitive during summits...

  My opinion about it, is that it would be better to put 2 vmdk for virtual machine on DATASTORE2, but maybe I'm wrong. That's why I post here we are again.

  All the recommendations, advice, are welcome. I don't know if the problem comes from the design of the virtual machine itself or we forgot something during the installation.

  Is there a good literature on the vmdk files? Location, design...

  Thank you for all your help on this point,

  Michael

  It sounds like you bought the DL350 G6 with P410i controller but no BBWC/FBWC not attached to the writeback operation. Without BBWC/FBWC, you will generally see less of ~ 10-20 MB/s.

  Place the operating system partition and data on different data stores in this case makes no difference at all.

• VSphere Client limit "the virtual machine console.

  Hello

  I have done several searches and could not find anything relevant so I thought I'd post the question.

  I have ESXi 4.0 running with the installation of 3 virtual machines. I connect to the ESXi 4.0 via Client.exe vSphere hypervisor in windows.  I have a couple of people using the same account. For this reason, we have noticed that, if one of us is connected to a virtual machine, the other person can open the console of the virtual machine also and mess with what they do.  He warns that many people are watching the same virtual machine with the bar at the top of the screen indicating there are now 2 sessions of active console.

  My question is: is there a way to limit the client to only allow a connection active console both to a virtual machine?  That way if someone is already logged in / virtual console and a view, no one else can.

  I understand that I can create several vSphere client accounts with restrictions on the permission to have each account only have access to a specific virtual machine, but I would like to avoid that if possible. Everyone should have access to each virtual machine... but not at the same time...

  Perhaps there is a configuration file (or the customer's option) to limit connections of the console to one (I guess that there is a limit somewhere?).  I found there is a "VpxClient.exe.config", but it doesn't look like this kind of information can be changed here?  If this is something that is encoded in the software I will drop it, but I thought I don't know if I asked

  Thanks for your time to answer this question,

  Dan

  by default, it is set as 25, but that can be changed.  However, it is on a customer by customer basis, so as far as I know, there is no comprehensive way to do this.

• migrate virtual machines to esxi 3.5 free vsphere 4.1 without vcenter

  Hi all

  I have vms on 2 hosts esxi 3.5 with direct (without san)-attached storage that I want to migrate to a new server esxi under license of 4.1 vsphere essentials. I intend using the stand-alone converter to migrate virtual machines from 3.5 to 4.1 and then upgrade the other two hosts to 4.1 and then moving some virtual machines using the converter.

  I have Web servers that I don't want to bring down more than 10 to 20 minutes (not the 1 to 2 hours that should be a cold conversion with converter) so I try to use the feature p2v on the virtual machine running Web servers.

  Has anyone done this with no san and no vcenter? If so how did you do?

  is it possible to migrate without losing configurations of network adapter in the virtual machine?

  I can just do something like taking a snapshot of the system of runnying, then copy files to new host, then add to the inventory, upgrade tools, hardware upgrade?

  Thank you!

  is it possible to migrate without losing configurations of network adapter in the virtual machine?

  After you copy the files and re - add to inventory new virtual machine, you must take care on the issue of handgun that you see in the market.

  Choose I_moved the files to keep the VM UUID and the same virtual MAC address.
