• Need help with a virtual machine between multiple users on iMac even...

  So I installed Fusion on my Intel iMac and created a virtual machine that uses Windows Vista. My problem is that I need to have two accounts Admin on Mac can use Vista/Fusion. I read a little about it and tried to put the virtual machine folder in the Documents of the other admin folder. Then I logged in as the admin account and Fusion found the records of the virtual machine and loaded vista fine. But of course now the first admin account cannot open Vista more. My question is can I copy the VM "Bundle" in the documents of the other account, so both users have files? Or with this screw things?

  Or should I put the virtual machine 'bundle' in the shared folder to make it work as I need to? I know that the two users can access the same VM at the same time, but as long as a user stop Vista and the merger and disconnects, can another user log in and open Vista/Fusion?

  Help, please! Thanks in advance.

• Need help install appliance virtual machine (file unpacking).

  I'm new to VMware devices.  ?:|   I try to install FireScope BSM: BE the device. The directions say to download the image file from tablet to the data store; and unpack once it has been downloaded. It is a tar.gz file. MY question is: how to unzip a file in the data store? ESX Server version 3.5.0 doesn't let me connect to the CLI. Anyone know how I can do this?

  Thank you

  You "might" use the data store browser to upload files to the data store OR you can use a client PCs (google FastSCP) it's free and will allow you to easily upload files to your esx hosts.

• Restore virtual machines after building the new RAID array

  Hi all

  I am new to the virtual machines, so I'm sorry for the newbie question. Currently, I have a HP ML350 G6 ESXi 5.0.0 running on 4 GB Flash hosting SD cards two virtual machines and licenses for 5 Essentials vSphere and vCenter Server 5 Essentials. I also have a RAID5 configuration with drives SAS 146 GB (6). I intend to remove all six readers and their replacement by 300 GB disks and build a RAID6 array. My question is, what would be the best practice to move the two VMS in the current RAID array to the new RAID array? Wouldn't be also simple to make backups of virtual machines or clones, exchanging the readers, the new array of construction and restoring virtual machines? If someone could point me in the right direction would be great!

  Thank you all!

  Personally, I would go with backup & restore. In addition, use the downtime to upgrade the firmware of the host (HP published recently a few critical fixes on the RAID controller and some models of HARD drive).

  What I would do - to avoid any problem - is to remove the host ESXi, vCenter, replace disks, update the firmware, re - install ESXi and as final step add the host to vCenter again.

• Students who need assistance for a virtual machine to run on hyper-v inside vmware workstation 12

  OK sorry first time here. I am currently a student and I have windows running R2 server 2008 as a Workstation VM. I activated the Hyper-v technology and got of no problem, the question I meet is that when I go to start a virtual machine, hyper v, I get the error failed to initialize. Initially, I had a mistake before, who told me he failed because he would not score, I think I've fixed this error by changing the. VMX file. I need to be able to start these machines virtual hyper-v because I am doing some laboratories for a class. Ideas, suggestions or help would be appreciated.

  Thank you for taking the time to read. I have attached a few screenshots of the error.

  Your processor is a Haswell, that supports AVX.  This problem occurs because Windows Server 2008 R2 does not support the AVX feature. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2517374 for a fix or a workaround.

• Need a script for virtual machine availability

  I know there is a metric for sys.uptime.latest which pulls the elapsed time in seconds surveyed of the virtual machine startup. Two questions

  This allows VM cacluate uptime in a perspective of avalability host?

  It only takes into account availability time between reboots to the vCenter level, or it takes into account all the running time? (example: uptime since a restart triggered via vCenter client vs a shutdown - r resulting in a virtual machine)

  Does anyone have a scipt that could be used or modified to give VM uptime? PowerGUI has a performance data plugin which can show it on a unique basis of VM. But I need to interview all the data for the whole vCenter and all virtual machines.

  Thank you!

  The metric of sys.uptime.latest gives you the time since the last poweron of the virtual machine.

  All reboots of BONE, of in the comments or via the vSphere client, do not reset the counter.

  This script gives you a report of the availability for all your virtual machines

  $vms = Get-VM Get-Stat -Entity $vms -Stat sys.uptime.latest -MaxSamples 1 | ` Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Entity.Name}},@{N="Uptime";E={$_.Value}}

• Restore virtual machines with Netbackup and VCB

  I just Netbackup 6.5.2 and using VCB 1.5.  When I create my backups, it makes the .img files.  When I try to restore using Netbackup, it won't recognize backups from windows NT and not Flash.  And VM converter does not recognize the .img files.  So, how can I restore, what am I am I doing wrong?

  Hello.  The NetBackup .img files are not accessible directly.  They are used internally by NetBackup.

  When the only restore files vmdk (virtual machine complete), NetBackup 6.5.2 supports two types of restorations.  First of all, you can automatically perform a restore of the entire virtual machine by using the free VMware Converter component.  The second method involves all first restore VMware vmdk and then manually by your restoration.

  These processes are described in the document of NetBackup 6.5.2 update which can be found here:

  FTP://exftpp.Symantec.com/pub/support/products/NetBackup_Enterprise_Server/302438.PDF

  Feel free to contact me directly if you have any additional questions.

• VCenter with 2 guests, need to start the virtual machine to another host

• I need to run a virtual machine, hyper v on my windows machine 8 with workstation 10

  I know that I can run a virtual machine in hyper v in v hyper customer, my question is if I turn the functionality hyper v on this will affect my 10 workstation install?

  As far as I know, that you can no longer start the vmx86 kernel driver once the HyperV role is activated.
  In previous HyperV versions that you could use a special startup parameter to disable the HyperV role for the next boot - so that you can run Workstation - but I don't know if it still works.

  So to summarize: HyperV and workstation cannot co-exist and be used one after the other - at the very least a reboot is required

• What is the best way to restore virtual machines after a refresh of the server

  Hi all

  First time poster here. A group of people at my work have their own VMWare environment which they install later. It has 3 virtual machines running on it, and they want to set up a fourth. Unfortunately the new machine, they want to put in place is going to be almost 1 TB in size, and they initially setup the VMFS datastore to 1 MB, which means that a machine can be as large as 256GB.

  Research, it seems that there is absolutely no way to work around this problem, except to redo the data store. Is this correct? If this is the case, I was looking at a way to save the three current machines and to reload them after it is updated. A way that I thought was to go browse the data store and copy all the files on my local machine to the virtual machine (.nvram, hard, .vmx etx... all the files), wipeout and redo the ESXi host with the correct setting of data store, build the machines VMS in vSphere, and then replace the files with those copied. This works perfectly? I don't see a lot of information out there about it and I want to make sure that I have not to spoil the VMs. This environment consists of 1 ESXi host with all the local storage (2 TB).

  Also, if anyone knows a better way to do this, please feel free to give your comments. I would really appreciate it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Welcome to the community!

  Yes, unfortunately there no way to change the block size of the datastore to vmfs without reformatting.

  If this is the case, I was looking at a way to save the three current machines and to reload them after it is updated.

  Yes, it will work. You have just to copy all files in this VMFS datastore to a place safe and download once the block size has increased. Once the download is complete, navigate to the virtual machine, the virtual machine folder right click and save the VMX.

  You can find the steps to change the size of the block VMFS in this KB. VMware KB: block the size of a VMFS data store limitations

• I need to move a virtual machine on data centers in two different sites at the regional level.

  I'm under VMware Virtual Center 2.5 and ESX server 3.5. I have 2 data centers in two different sites at the regional level. If the material could not be more distinct. The virtual machine is a complicated web server while it takes move rather than be rebuilt. I've heard of process not VM to get there, but it would be nice to have a process of VMware.

  Can anyone offer some advice for a newbe?

• Start menu are become virgins and desktop icons & shortcuts are gone, need help to restore them if possible

  I contracted a virus of webroot, and although it has not crashed my pc completely, he has managed to erase my Start menu and 'all' of my icons/shortcuts office. And most importantly, I lost the Internet Explorer icon, even if I always still have and can use it through other options like my email provider when I receive mail or messages which sucks because I'm use to just clicking on my provider internet icon and it takes me right to it. It's another thing my provieder icon went too which allows you to be on my desk, so I wonder if there is a way to restore my icons on the desktop & Start menu. When their shattered virus he left me with a black screen but my toolbar was still there, I also bought the Norton 360 and installed because it all happened due to my previous expired anti-virus software. Norton 360 has helped and supported & stored all my folders and files that have been analyzed and are good, but I have no idea on how to get them back where they belong. Help! I guess I need hooked on Phonics or something... lolol
