Need help with copy/move a virtual machine to Mac Pro for MacBook Pro

Hello

I have Fusion 7.1.1 installed on my Mac Pro (lap) and my MacBook Pro (laptop). I am copying my virtual Windows machine 8.1 of the tower to the laptop. I copied the. vmwarevm file from the tower to the laptop. When I try to import the virtual machine in Fusion on the laptop it is grayed out. I don't know why 'find Virtual Machines' does not work either.


Thanks for any help,


Steve

Have you tried "Open and run" in the file menu of Fusion with the 8.1 Win as target VM?

Note that if it works, ask if it has been copied or moved. If you Copied, renewal may be necessary because the MAC address has been changed.

    I created 'connect users of accounts' and 'lost' the original Admin, now I know how to access certain programs and others in shift, click with the right button on connection as an administrator. but can't seem to copy or move some things into "shared folder" can someone help me please? Thanks for any help! No real computer smart right now, but im learning :)

    Hello

    You can also try to connect to the original administrator account by pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE (all three keys twice at the same time), you will get the classic login prompt. Type the administrator user name and password. You should be able to connect.

    To activate this visible account to the Welcome screen, once logged in click on Start-> Run Type &-> Regedit-> ok.

    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> Microsoft-> Windows NT-> CurrentVersion-> Winlogon-> SpecialAccounts-> UserList

    Select the username administrator and set the value to 1-> of the close Registry Editor and restart your computer.

  • Need help with Copy-VMGuestFile: comments operations agent could not be contacted

    Hello world

    I am trying to copy and read files on a virtual machine.

    My virtual computer that is running windows server 2008 R2, VMware ESXi 5.0

    I tried the following, but it didn't work:

    Copy-VMGuestFile-Source c:\text.txt-Destination c:\ - VM VM - GuestToLocal - HostUser root collar - HostPassword

    Result:

    WARNING: The operating system prompted for the virtual machine «...» "is unknkow. The operation may fail.

    Copy-VMGuestFile comments operations agent could not be contacted.

    CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: [Copy-VMGuestFile], ViError

    FullQualifiedErrorID: Client20_VmGuestServiceImpl_GetGuestAuthentication_ViError, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.CopyVMGuestFile

    My VM is a clean install. I have tried to look for the error, but can find no possible solution.

    Most of them is related to Invoke VMScript or the VMware tool (something that I have not installed on the virtual machine).

    Can someone help me please?

    Or can you suggest me a way to read and copy files to a virtual machine?

    Thank you in advance.

    The Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet uses the VMware tools in the virtual machine to copy the file. If you need to install the VMware tools in the virtual machine before you can use the Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet.

  • Need help with pictures on iMac re: "Summary", "optimize Mac storage."

    iMac mid 2011 1 TB, 2.7 ghz, i5, 16 GB memory hard drive; and MacBook Air mid 2012 128 MB HDD, 1.7 ghz, i5, memory 4gm, both El Capitan 10.11.5 running

    I use Photos since it was released, although I prefer iPhoto (continue to use it separately for now).  I use the pictures on the iPhone 6 too.

    Program to Photos on the iMac, I selected in the preferences: "iCloud library" and "Original download this Mac" so all of the photos are stored on it as well as in clouds.  The photo in the finder library shows its size - Go 117,24.

    The MacBook Air ("MBA"), in the preferences of pictures, I chose the "iCloud photo library' and ' optimize Mac Storage.

    I didn't not use PhotoStream on each device.

    Also, on the MBA in the preferences of Photos under general, I chose "summarize the pictures" and not selected "copy items to the photo library."  But the library in the finder on the MBA is gb 7.62.

    Question: in the MBA, I click on the photos to see larger, "turning clock" icon in the lower right a few seconds, and when it stops, the image, which is a little blurry at first, it seems obvious, and, I guess that in his condition of full resolution.  So, I think it means that the version full resolution has downloaded to the library of Photos of my MBA, is that correct?  If this is true, in theory, I suppose that the library will grow in size that I continue to click on the photos to see and with a large library in the cloud - 110 + Go - I could fill the hard drive of the MBA, which has only 22 GB of available.

    In the preferences of Photos, it seems not be an option to avoid this problem.  In preferences, iCloud screen, the options are "Download original" - just what it says, or optimize Mac Storage, which stores in the clouds and also "stored on the Mac (MBA) If you have enough storage space."


    Thank you.

    Yes you are right that has downloaded full resolution version when you open a picture.

    It will stay there if you have enough room, but once you start to get low disk space, photos start automatically re-optimization of the uploaded photos as and when necessary.

  • Need help with the upgrade of the WLAN on Satellite Pro 6100 minipci card

    Hello everyone, I desperately tried to update my WIRELESS card on my laptop SP6100, since it was delivered with a card minipci wifi-b, which is not fast enough today. s standards.

    Each piece of the Toshiba official documentation mention the SP6100 has a mini-PCI type 3a slot, so can accommodate two minipci card a type 3a and 3B wifi.
    But unfortunately for me, I discovered the hard way that it is absolutely NOT the case - I was put back by a fortune by buying costs for a type3 intel minipci wifi card, which does NOT at all on the laptop.

    I spent an hour in unnecessary calls to the customer service from Toshiba, that I had to convince PCMCIA certainly isn't the same as miniPCI, and Mini - PCI cards ARE CERTAINLY replaceable by the user. She insisted that she could not be changed by the user of the system, but by toshiba themselves.

    Could someone please please advise me on the type of wifi card that are built with the SP6100 laptops? I think is it AGERE brand, in the form of WLAN minipci card. I know that it IS certainly NOT miniPCI type 3.

    Help, please! Thank you.
    And besides, every place that I tried so far appears only sell type3 miniPCI cards,
    Other types of Mini-PCI cards are available to retail customers?

    Infinite thanks!

    Hello

    You must understand that your model of laptop is quite old and right now the market wasn't available standard b. I'm pretty skeptical that you will be able to use the standard WLAN with G maps due to compatibility issues. On this forum, I founded several threads that people write about the problems of upgrading older models of laptops with the new wireless network cards.

    In my opinion the best solution for you is to use a PCMCIA WLAN card. The installation should be easy and you can use the wireless network with faster data transfer adapter.

  • How to copy or move a virtual machine to one vCenter to another?

    In the near future, we will have a HA cluster in a foreign vCenter, connected to a dedicated line. As far as I know, we are able to integrate the HA cluster in our vCenter, but are not able to copy or move a VM in our vCenter to another because there is no direct connection between the storage.

    What will be the simplest possibility to copy or move a virtual machine to the other vCenter?

  • Move a virtual machine with USB

    Howdy, I need to move multiple Virtual Machines in ESXi 4.1.0 from one office to the other. Move it online is not an option so a hard drive USB 3.0 drive or a thumb will be used. I understand how to browse the data store and download the files and folders on the hard drive and then upload them when I'll be there and then add to invitory, but my question is, what files should I? A typical for one of my machines directory has ABC.vmdk (50 GB), ABD_1.vmdk (50 GB), ABC - 8bffbd14.vswp (4 GB), 7 files vmware.log, ABC.nvram (8.4 KB), ABC.vmx (3.4 KB), ABC.vmxf (0.26 KB), ABC.vmsd (0b) and ABC - 8bffbd14.hlog (0b).

    Which of these files should I send?

    I know that I need the .vmx and a hard but I need two files hard?

    .Vswp and .nvram files are important?

    Also, delete the shots before I do, right?

    Thank you

    Open the vSphere Client here and choose the file-> deploy OVF model... option. Then just walk through the wizard.

  • Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

    Hello

    I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

    Thanks in advance...

    If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

  • Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

    Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

    My hardware:

    I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

    The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

    I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

    My Situation:

    I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

    Help with the data store and network:

    I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

    I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

    Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

    I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

    Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

    You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

    Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

    RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

    You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

    Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

    UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

Maybe you are looking for
