• Cannot modify memory and CPU of the parameters on a virtual computer running - vSphere 4

  After a new installation of vSphere 4, I created several virtual machines and P2V had a couple as well.  DRS and HA was set up, and everything worked well.  If I understand correctly, I should be able to change the settings of RAM and the processor to a virtual computer running, but they are greyed out as with previous versions.  I can change them if the virtual machine is shut down.  No idea why this?

  Thank you!

  1 VM should be version 7 of material.

  2. you must set the "Allow memory hot add" powered off mode.

  Only after this, you can add memory to the virtual machine performance. Also, don't forget that Windows 2003 and 2008, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition support this.

• Remove a hard drive from a virtual computer running

  Hello everyone. Is there a way to remove a hard drive from a virtual computer running? Of course we can add a disk to a computer that is incredibly convenient, but there are times that we blow an as well. When clicked on the drive in the VI Client button is grayed out delete. I would have thought that other people would want to do that as well, but looking around the net and forums I find nothing!

  Its not feasible in 3.5 and below.

  Haven't tried yet in 4...

• How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

  Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

  First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

  Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

  *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

  Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

  How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

  Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

  The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

• How would recreate the pagefile to a Windows 2008 virtual computer running on a host ESX 3i?

  As the subject says, I'm looking for a way to do this.  I inherited the environment of another group and it is very small, but it performs ESX 3i on the two hosts and Vcenter version 2.5 (Infrastructure) is a bit old.  5 of 6 VM are operational, however, the 6th when turned on will not get 40% full, but then it will fail to stating that is not a swap file.  Now, normally it is not a swap file, because they are created or deleted dynamically whenever a virtual computer is powered on one of the hosts.  It's quite strange.

  In the new versions / environments, there seem to be ways to recreate exchange capacity easily, but which doesn't seem to be the case here.  I don't think it's a process lock as the two hosts have restarted to clear HA agent / editions of the resource.  My guess is this has happened has been one of the hosts could not reproduce any more process for some reason any and when the VM problem has been powered down to try to erase some, the problem occurred.  Either that, or there are unreadable sectors in the data store, and perforated in this swap file black...

  I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to solve the problem.  Any input would be welcome.

  Thank you!

  All,

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I solved the problem.  What needed to be done was to remove the virtual machine of the inventory and then re-create it as a new virtual machine under the cluster of the same name, same settings and have it use its 2 existing virtual disks.  For some stupid reason, once this is done, he managed to turn on normally and now runs without problem.

  I'm not necessarily happy that this solution because it does not really help understand me what underlying the problem actually was, but I guess I can live with that.  The reason why I have not tried it earlier, is that I was afraid the vmdk would be replaced and I wanted to keep the existing information.  However, someone I work with was certain that they had done before, and that she maintained the pre-existing data, even in this older version, so I finally tried.

  in any case, thanks for the support, and if someone can glean some root causes of the problem based on the solution I have just given, that would be helpful.

• Move a virtual computer running vCenter

  All,

  I have Windows 2003 with vCenter Server and the license server running on a virtual machine on ESX 3.0.2.  I change my vmfs configurations to use extensions and move this virtual machine to a different vmfs partition I created.  How can I do this from vCenter is running on this virtual computer?  I just clone the virtual machine and then place the files on the new VMFS datastore and then turn off the initial tension on the new and delete the original?  Is there a better way to do it?  Thank you!

  Another way that do is clone the VM on the other server.  Stop it and start using the other VM...

• Backing up a virtual computer running on vmWare player

  Hello

  In about a month, I run an IT project for a conference and to do this, I'll take with me my conference server, which is a virtual machine (Windows 2008 r2) usually run on an ESXi. To export it, I did a V2V and put it on a laptop. Everything works fine. However in removing my ESXi I lose the ability to snapshoting it. This virtual machine will be led by VM Player.

  In addition, to reduce the risk, I bought the same laptop in case of crash of the first. Now, I would like to find a way to snapshot or backup my VM without having to turn it off or to suspend what is impossible for me at the time of the Conference.

  Does anyone of you has an idea on how I could do this?

  Thanks for your help!

  Welcome to the community,

  even if a snapshot is NOT a backup, I suggest that you get a copy of VMware Workstation, allowing to create snapshots.

• identification of the virtual computer running on local storage

  Right now, I don't think there is a way to get the parameter of the BIOS with the SDK boot drive.  The other question is do you want the diskette or the OS Disk/Partition?  For the OS Partition/disk, you will need to query the GuestOS through VIX or any other interface and then that correlate with the SCSI Disk Device in your virtual inventory.

  If you just need the boot drive, you can make the assumption that it is SCSI 0:0.  It would change only by the intervention of the user manual via the BIOS of the virtual machine (F2 at startup).  This assumption is not guaranteed, but it is likely be accurate, most of the time.  I vaguely remember some talk around adding functionality to control the order of boot devices in BIOS of the virtual machine with automation.  If it is added, it would be possible to detect and change the order of boot through a script or a program.

  Something like the following would let you determine the location of the device node and vmdk file:

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  Properties-online ['name', 'config.hardware.device']);

  my $vm foreach (@{$vm_views}) {}

  My $vmname = $vm-> name;

  My $vm_devices = $vm-> {'config.hardware.device'};

  my $vm_disk foreach (grep $_-> isa ('VirtualDisk'), @{$vm_devices}) {}

  My $controller_key = eval {$vm_disk-> controllerKey};

  My $unit_number = eval {$vm_disk-> unitNumber};

  My $controller_bus_number = get_controller_bus_number (controller_key => $controller_key,)

  vm_devices-online $vm_devices);

  My $vm_disk_file_name = eval {$vm_disk-> support-> fileName};

  My $vm_disk_label = eval {$vm_disk->-> label deviceInfo};

  My $vm_device_node = sprintf ("SCSI (" %s: %s %s) ", $controller_bus_number,)")

  ($unit_number, $vm_disk_label);

  printf ("%s: %s, %s\n", $vmname, $vm_device_node, $vm_disk_file_name);

  }

  }

  void get_controller_bus_number {}

  my (% args) = @_;

  My $controller_key = delete ($args {controller_key});

  My $vm_devices = delete ($args {vm_devices});

  my @controllers = grep $_-> key eq $controller_key, @{$vm_devices};

  # Must be only a controller since it is a key value in the VI SDK

  My $bus_number = eval {$controllers [0]-> busNumber};

  Return $bus_number;

  }

  Perl vm - scsinode.pl - username = administrator - server = 172.16.110.10

  Test: SCSI (0:0) hard drive 1, Test/Test.vmdk [datastore1]

  Test: SCSI (1:0) hard drive 2, Test/Test_1.vmdk [datastore1]

  In my output test, I would like to make the assumption that 1 the hard drive is the boot disk based on the SCSI Bus and the logical units (0:0).  If you correlate this back at the sight of the GuestOS of disks, it would be the same values of Bus SCSI and logical unit.

  You will notice that this basically recreates the same string that you would see in "Change settings" on a virtual machine by looking at its labels to disk through the user interface of vCenter.

• Your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and try again.

  I note that others have the same problem and said that your suggested solutions did not work, but did you check the motion as answered in all cases.

  I have windows 7 and windows media player 12.0.7600.16667. I play about 3 or 4 videos and get the error message "your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and try again. ». As others have noted, I tried the corrections suggested by using the Troubleshoot utility and fixes suggested in similar queries (virtual memory setting etc.). NONE OF THESE WORK! These problems don't to do not manifest until what I installed windows 7 and windows media player 12. What about a solution that works! Returning to WMP 11 would be a possible solution? Any other suggestions besides run the troubleshooter and replace the virtual memory?

  I have gateway with AMD Athlon (TM) 62 x 2 dual core processor 6000 + 3.0 GHZ and 3 GB of RAM.

  Also have ~ 2 TB memory physical and 3 GB of RAM to play with my computer's memory is not the issue, windows 7 or windows media player 12 or the combination windows7 and WMP 12 is the question. If you cannot offer a solution please ask Uncle Bill to divert resources to solve this problem please (preferably before the next version overpriced and underperforming Windows is imposed on an unsuspecting audience). Thank you.

  Hello

  ·    What is this problem only occurs when you use WIndows Media Player or other applications as well?

  ·        Did you the latest changes on the computer?

  Method 1:

  If the previous step fails, then perform the clean boot procedure to verify if a third-party program installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note:

  After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  Method 2:

  Prevention of problems of memory

  Alternatively, you can follow the link provided below for more information on the problems of memory in Windows 7.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/preventing-low-memory-problems

  Method 3:

  I also suggest to run Msconfig (System utility) and place a check on maximum memory and see if you get the same error again. To do so follow the steps below:

  (a) click Start.

  (b) type Msconfig in Windows search bar and press ENTER.

  c) select the TAB that reads start.

  (d) click on advanced options.

  (e) place a check on maximum memory.

• Close programs to prevent the loss of information. Your computer is low on memory. You save files and close programs. Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

  Hello

  I keep getting the following error message, and leterally having my computer off over and over again, even if I added 1 GB of RAM (now 3 total RAM) mor and also added a 8 GB SD card as more power:

  Close programs to prevent the loss of information.  Your computer is low on memory.  You save files and close programs.  Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

  I did research on the various search engines to know that many face the same problem, with a variety of possible solutions, but so far, none work.  We suggest that I go to Regedit and change the permissions of the user and then delete the old files, after I import them.

  Needless to say, I am just a user and have just a bit of technical knowledge.  The local PC repair shop in my town has no idea what to do.  For anyone who has a solution to this problem, help will be greatly appreciated!

  First of all, unless you know EXACTLY what you do and WHY you do it. I personally recommend never do anything in regedit. I consider myself a moderate to advanced computer user and a moderate user of windows. And I always stay away from regedit, if I can, because you can seriously screw things if you don't know what you're doing... Although, to be honest most of the settings will not have a devastating drama.

  It seems to me that this is a memory leak in the program, you will get this error message to make sure that your computer will just crash, because if she is running out of RAM... Well it will crash.

  If you have a 2 and a 1 GB for a total of 3 GB, I recommend the upgrade once more and just round up to a nice 4 (this is the most of memory a 32-bit system can handle in total)

  Works of memory in a way that you see really only a few performance jump with memory dual channel, the only way to have that is really striking the rods of same in each slot.

  There isn't really a reason that this happens every time, except that simply your computer is low on MEMORY, when your computer says this means RAM, not disk memory storage area.

  If you clean your computer of the programs you never use and stop using windows media player (itunes is better in my opinion, even if you don't have an ipod), you can see an improvement, but to really isolate the problem, I recommend simply opening your task manager as soon as you start your computer (ctrl + alt + delete usually gives you the option or it opens directly) otherwise you can do start-> RUN taskmgr.exe , OR type taskmgr.exe in the search box and press on enter.

  Then, look at the column of memory as I said it sounds like a program has a leak, and you will see that is because memory will begin at low/normal and then numbers just keep climbing...

  Also, make sure that your computer recognizes all 3 GB or RAM. in Task Manager if you have access to the performance tab, under physical memory must be a thing called Total, 3 GB = 3074. If this is not an option in your reason, you can go under Accessories/System Tools system information (on the start menu). (may take a while to load) but on the home page, you should see something that indicates the amount of TOTAL PHYSICAL MEMORY. You want to read this / 3GB or 3074 MB.

  Hope this helps some!

  I recommend to remove all programs, you are ready to, especially those that you never use. Do a complete uninstall. Then start installing windows clean (download google) just to make sure that the program has been removed. then go start--> run msconfig OR just type msconfig in the search and click on go (I don't know if you're running XP or Vista/7)

  In the msconfig dialog, you should see a section that says startup. Don't forget to remove programs that you do not first. Disable startup programs, you use every DAY. Don't go turn off all if windows needs some process to run, and some processes don't effect anything. But if you're curious, you should be able to google all of startup items and see what it's related to and why you do or that you don't need.

  Good luck! Sorry, I'm everywhere with this response.
