Machine virtual Windows 2000, ftdisk errors and BSOD (twice a month)

Hello

We have a Windows 2000 SP4 installed to server with all possible updates of Microsoft Windows updates.  It's in our vSphere 4.1 environment which consists of 3 4.1 ESX hosts connected to an EMC SAN with NFS data warehouses.  Every once in a while ago and only this particular virtual machine will go belly up.  Basically, end-users will start to meet execution errors in their application.  Thus, we check the VM and notice a lot of pop-up windows and errors in the system for ftdisk event log (Event ID 50 {Lost Delayed-write-data}).  It gets to a point where you can not do anything in the server, then you will have to hard it turned off.

After reboot, it will display the Windows 2000 splash screen and then a BSOD will appear with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.  Whatever the choice of Safe mode, safemode w / Networking, last known good, etc...  Also try to attach ISO or a physical CD often freezes the vSphere client so hard to my intel core i7 PC for ever the same displays a CTRLALTDEL Task Manager.

So the solution is to mount a this machine VMDK file to another virtual machine, then run a chkdsk on it, then remove.  To power up the virtual machine Windows 2000, he finally fill the trunk and automatically run a chkdsk on other partitions and difficulty many files, indexes, security descriptors, etc.  The server is online and the hosted application works very well.

Audit in the newspapers, it seems that it has happened with this frequency (looking ftdisk warnings)

02/11/2010 to 03/11/2010

05/10/2010 to 06/10/2010

29/09/2010 to 01/10/2010

23/09/2010

So it's a little sporadic.  The server gets used exactly the same every week, is not as if he was not less any activity between the 10/6 and 11/2, where it doesn't have the bomb on at all.

Any idea on what is happening here?  If it were a real physical server, it would be all point to a failure of hard drive or scsi controller.  However, it is on an ESX host, as well as many other machines to talk to the same San, and nothing else has a problem.  It comes to our Windows 2000 Server only in our environment, everything else is 2003 or 2008.  The config for this VM problem is:

1024 MB

1 PROCESSOR

4 MB OF VRAM

VMCI limited

Controller of BusLogic SCSI parallel 0

30 GB thin provisioned SCSI (0:0) hard drive 1

"Flexible" network adapter

Nothing special or notable outside of a default virtual machine configuration.

Thanks for your comments.  This one is perplexing.  Is not as we can 'swap hard disk.  Were in discussions with the vendor of the application for a migration to Server 2008, but I don't know when that will be possible (if this year or the first quarter of next year).

If you change names like this - ethernet also remove NIC ghost?

It is likely that your changes produces one or more of them - please check.

I cleaned some entries in your existing file and transferred.

  • SAM Broadcaster hangs on virtual Windows 2000

    We have installed Windows 2000 Pro SP 4 on Vmware server 1.9.

    On the Windows platform, we have installed Sam Broadcaster, the most recent version.

    Radio streaming runns loves normally and as scheduled, but the stream before he died. Speed is set at 192 kbit/s using MP3 encoder.

    After the death of stream have the virtual processor Windows 2000 load increases to 100 percent ant the virtual Windows 2000 is suspended.

    It is written in the journal of the Sam Broadcaster: Encoder1 cannot send data fast enough. Encoding paused until the buffer clears...

    I tried to adjust the output of the Sam Broadcaster buffer, but this did not help.

    The adapter netvork virtual virtual Windows 2000 runs in nat mode.

    Hollow of reading connects to the host Centos 5.3 system and virtual Win 2000 installation gives all the answers.

    It is my impression that it could be something on the nat virtual server's network Vmware dangling.

    Is it possible to increase a buffer on the Vmware nat network, or to trobleshoot this point any further?

    Another alternative idea I have is to try to upgrade the 1.9 Vmware newest version 2.x, to see if this will clear the problem.

    Could I can still use the existing Virtual Windows 2000 installation, or will an upgrade to Vmware server 2.x require

    new installations of virtual machines?

    I would be grateful for any ideas or advice!

    **************

    One thing that should also be mentined: The Sam Broadcaster is tranmitting to a Shoutcast server that runs directly on the host system.

    If the stream is Shoutcast nat virtual server to a shoutcast server that is "internal data flow in virtual host".

    We have also tried to move the Shotcast server from the host system to an another virtual Centos 5.3, but the result was the same.

    All data flow that makes the virtual Windows 2000 to hang is data internal streams beween the virtual machine and the host system.

    or between virtual machines. The material is new dual core with 8 GB of Ram running on the data center. All tests were made using the same

    Shoutast configuration file.

    Langbein wrote:

    The idea of some nat tabel or fill buffer may be correct (?!)

    Does anyone know how to change or adjust the size of this buffer?

    I don't know how this SAM Broadcaster manages network traffic.

    UDP is more likely. Maybe, it is not a kind of 'filler', but too much latency?

    NAT's time consumption the host processor, and adds a few ms (check with ping). So this may be unsolvable for NAT. If its TCP instead of UDP, it can be solved by adjusting the RWIN and other TCP settings on the host and the guest.

  • Machine virtual Windows 7 - freezes\reverts of the screen when going from Windowed to full screen and vice versa.

    I use a Win7 box with a Machine virtual Win7 on it.  When I started using the VM, it should start and login and work very well.  Shortly after I started having the following problem.  It loads in windowed mode, so I me the welcome greenish\blueish after cutting inside.  If I wait for the Office to load, when I do the full VM screen, it goes full screen then the screen goes to the Welcome screen again, but it's just a static image.  It won't change until I have send a Ctrl-Alt-Del command.  Can I get the normal window with options for logging, start the Task Manager, etc..  If I press ESC or click Cancel, it will show the office and I can work on it without problem.

    If I leave full screen mode windowed after that, the same thing happens, except instead of the Welcome screen, I get the screen of Ctl-Alt-Del as a static picture.  Once again, if I send the Ctrl-Alt-Del command, then cancel, I get the office as usual and it will work until I have try to resize the screen again.

    Can someone help me understand what is happening?

  • Machine virtual Windows does not start on the MBP retina with 10.9 Mavericks DP3

    Mavericks 10.9 DP3 running on a MacBook Pro 15 "with Retina display 2012 and the TP2013 merger causes the following problem:

    None of my virtual machines created in Fusion 5.0.3 will begin.  I have Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 8 x 64.  I also tried to create a new virtual machine from Windows 8 x 64 with all defaults under the technology preview, and the same problem occurs just after the BIOS screen clears, and above all expected Windows 8 installer would (do not press any key to start from DVD, etc.).

    VMware Fusion has encountered an error and has stopped Windows.

    Click on restart Windows to start Windows again. Click report to collect data and to ask the support of VMware.

    [Ignore]     [Report...]     [Restart Windows]

    Ignore everything stops the system down

    I have reports of existing Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8 x 64 virtual machines as well as the test of the virtual machine.

    Windows 8 x 64 gives this error in a black translucent dialog box appears when starting a VM Windows 8 x 64, nine (before installation) or not:

    No 3D support is available in the host.

    3D virtual machine functions will be disabled.

    Windows Server 2008 R2 VM will display the EFI boot screen, then if you press F8 and choose recovery it will start loading the recovery files, but when it gets to the point where windows graphics loading screen with the Windows logo would be (after "Windows is loading files" text screen with the bar at the bottom, but before the GUI) you only ever see the graphic display and it crashes

    Opening of Fusion 5.0.3 and closing the Tech Preview, the virtual machines will be load without problem; no boot time error either.

    Seems to have something to do with the graphics, but still - no similar problems with 5.0.3

    Hi Siobhan,

    Thank you for reporting this issue. I checked your vmware.log and found this problem has been reported by an internal user, the internal PR is 1047175. Now it is fixed in the latest internal version. Since 10.9 comes after tech Fusion preview release, the issue is expected. Please be patient to wait for the next release of Fusion. Thank you.

  • I have a problem starting up a Windows XP Pro Machine virtual Windows 8 host system (which has VMware Workstation 10.1).

    I am new to the virtual machines.  For several months I've been running a Windows XP Virtual Machine in an old machine of Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 7.0.  The hard drive is having some problems at times, so I thought that I could move the virtual machine on a new computer that has an OS 8.1 Windows and VMware Workstation 10.  For example, on the Windows 7 machine, I copied the directory with all the * .vm files and pasted into the machine to Windows 8. But when I tried to start VMware Workstation 10 in Windows 8 machine, I got the message "this virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware."  I went to the knowledge base and used the solution described here: I've deleted the lines of three 'policy' of the .vmx file and added the suffix .ancien to the .vmpl file, which actually disabled.  Now, when I try to start the virtual machine, the black screen appears with the VMware logo in the Center and everything seems fine, but Windows XP starts.  And logo VMware guard churning away as in a continuous loop.  It is not easy to stop.  The only way to stop VMware is via the Task Manager or restart the machine.

    What must I do to get the Windows XP Pro VM to run in the new machine?

    VMWare technical support suggested that I have disable 3D acceleration (VM > settings > view and uncheck the box 3D graphics acceleration).  The virtual machine starts now with some minor problems, but it is usable.  But by closing accel 3D turns, in the words of the Technical Support Engineer, David, that there is "a problem with the graphics card not imitate or through its capacity to the virtual machine.  In other words do not support to the VM guest 3D acceleration. "My next step is to make sure that I have the updated driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adapter.

    Minor problems are:

    (1) the virtual machine works best in screen mode reduced.  There are a few problems speed mode full-screen.

    (2) the VM will still work after switching on of the host.  But after execution of the virtual machine, if power you the virtual machine and the release of VMware workstation, then later, start the workstation, the virtual machine will power not.

    To turn it on again you must out of VMware Workstation, disconnect the host machine and then reopen it in one.

  • Implement the deployment of Machine virtual Windows Server 2012 with a data Bit Locker encryption?

    The hypervisor is currently running on servers HP Blade BL 460 c G8 . Read well the hardware specification: http://h18001.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14208_na/14208_na.pdf I see that he has taken a TPM installed on the blade, but I don't know how to make sure that it is activated or used by the Virtual Machine?

    Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I had a few goes at it and it's not like you can virtualize a TPM. It would make sense if it was the case - the secure TPM was not designed to manage multiple instances of the OS.

    I ended up making USB passthrough on a USB stick and have the Bitlocker key stored on this stick as a demo. Certainly not a transaction supported, but it showed that the storage of key seems to be the only issue.

  • Update the VMWare tools on all machines virtual Windows

    Is it possible to use the PowerCLI update the VMWare tools on all virtual Windows machines to the latest version. I know I can do this individuall but I wanted to see if there a way to use something similar to a for each loop through a virtual machine at a time. I'm new to the power of vmware and the vix api cli and it's the first task I am trying automate (automating installation of all guests including linux would be perfect if I could loop through all clients using the same command). I am a new detailed explanations would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Loren

    It's pretty simple in his PowerCLI, you combine just 2 cmdlets with a pipeline.

    Get - VM | Update-Tools

    You can make the choice of the guests a little more complex.

    For example:

    Get-VM-name Srv * | Update-Tools

    will update only the tools on customers whose name starts with SRV.

    See the cmdlet Get - VM for more details.

    You can also set it update tools should immediately reboot if necessary.

    What you can do with the NoReboot parameter on the cmdlet Update-Tools .

    Get-VM-name Srv * | Update-tools - NoReboot

  • VCB with Windows 2000 Server before and after! Does not!

    In our configuration (esx3.5, vi2.5 and vcb 1.5) we have problems get the pre post scripts running in Windows 2000 Server. It does not at all pre/start scripts. We need this because we have some strange databases that must be stopped before the snapshot and started after.

    The 2000 machine is fully updated, and the esx servers are updated 4.

    I also tried in a test environment with esx3i fully updated (beyond update 4) and vcb1.1

    Pre-Post controls work perfectly in 2003 (not yet tested in 2008).

    What I tried:

    • Disable-ing the SyncDriver (must be a solution for Server 2000 with Exchange 2000)

    • Place scripts to a location different (C:\WINNT or C:\Windows or C:\Program VMware Tools\backupScripts.d

    • Adding C:\Program VMware Tools\backupScripts.d to the $PATH variable so that the script can be run from anywhere

    • Reinstall the VMWare tools.

    The command I used to get the backup:

    v h vcbMounter.exe *. n u .local \n*-ipaddr:vcbtest. .local - r c:\vcb\vcbtest-full-01 t m nbd fullvm

    I also tried adding the switch "0 q" or "q 1".

    No solutions seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

    It works for me with a C:\Windows folder (even if windows is installed in C:\winnt),

    with files like pre-antigel - script.bat and post-thaw - script.bat

    I have captured many images of a windows 2003 while the services windows, sql server, etc. will work perfectly during the process.

    Yes, the services are still running.  However, it is normally recommended that you disable the services as much as possible.   If you have a lot of traffic to the server, the conversion may fail half way through.  And of course, all the changes bring users to data cannot be included in the image/converted data.  If the conversion is for dev/test, then it may be acceptable.

    When I did my hot clones, it was generally after hours so that I can disable the SQL and other services.  I've done a few hot clones with services running, but there is no user logged in, so very little traffic to the title of the conversion machine.

  • Cannot start virtual machines on Windows - get "internal error."

    Key in the log error can be: "E105: PANIC: CHECK bora\vmcore\vmx\main\timeTracker_user.c:238 bugNr = 148722 '.
