• Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

  Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

  Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
  error

  1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

     lsof | grep

     COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
     71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

     Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

     Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

     kill the 3631

     After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

     CD/tmp
     VM-support - x

     Available to debug worlds:
     WID =

     On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

     VM-support - X

     Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

     Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

     After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

  Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

  The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
  Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

  Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

  You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
  I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

• vSwitch ESXi 5.1 workaround to virtual machines (direct access to the network)

  Hello world!

  I have a server running properly the 5.1 ESXi hypervisor and got inside the physical grid active router with DHCP. How can I configure the vSwitch on ESXi 5.1 work not managed on the network, without VLAN and have direct access to the network?

  Just to clarify, I would like to first of all virtual machines VMware Workstation works - if it is possible to run several virtual machines and define all NICS (Network Interface Card) as connected by a bridge, that is to say. Each VM gets the specific configurations of IP to the external router.

  Since now, thank you very much for the help!

  Best regards

  Eduardo

  With ESXi the vSwitches work comparable to Bridged networking, so there is really nothing special to do.

• ESXi 3.5 Update 4 virtual machines cannot boot from ISO image stored on the server

  Ok

  If I have one of my virtual machines of ESXi configured to use an ISO image sitting on my server ESXi, they cannot boot from this image.  This is after you click "ESC" during startup in order to change the startup CD-ROM.  I have this a known issue, or I'm just doing something wrong?  If I have the vms use an ISO sitting on my desktop (using Infrastructure Client) it works fine.

  Or the answer is even simpler, make sure I connect at power on.

  OK, Yes!  But some of the things we take for granted... haha...

• Virtual MACHINE cannot access the vlan

  We have a vSwitch with a portgroup that services our Production network with no VLAN specific specified (0).  Gave us access to a new vlan on a physical Cisco switch level in our chassis and basic in our data center switches.

  VSwitch physical maps show the new VLAN and production networks when you look at the vSwitch properties and the port group.

  However we still cannot get out on the side of the chassis with a configured virtual computer to access the new VLAN.  Do we need to add a new port group to the vSwitch specifying the new vlan?  Any other ideas?

  I have attached a doc showing the 101 new VLAN as a network, that NETWORK cards can see.

  Thank you

  Morrisos

  This VLAN 101 are arriving in two network cards?

  If not, configure the two network cards.

  If the vlan is marked on your switch, when you create a port group, set VLAN ID 101.

• Virtual machines cannot access IP host

  I'm running Windows 7 x 64.  I installed VMWare workstation 7.x.  I created a few virtual machines, 3 XP and 1 Windows 7 x 86.   I created a network bridged on the properties of each virtual computer.  Everything worked well for months.   Now, all of a sudden I can not connect to server shares.   In fact, I don't even the IP addresses for all virtual machines.   I tried to sever the virtual machines in the network and the re - add but now I can't even add them because he can't find any field.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling from VMWare.    I tried all the connections to different network that you can try in VMWare Workstation and nothing works.    I cannot join the domain and I can't get an IP address any.

  I don't know what changed, but something has.  Any help would be great.

  Thank you.

  Have you checked the changes on the firewall of the host or do you use any type of protection software endpoint that is probably blocking the traffic of the virtual machine?

• Access to the network in all virtual machines lost after that put 8.1 to level.

  Today, I upgraded my host computer to Windows 64-bit Pro 8.1. I did the upgrade through the Windows store. There are no errors or problems during the upgrade.

  However: The host machine equipped with a Qualcomm E2200 network adapter, and it runs the 'Killer' Network Manager software called at startup. After the 8.1 update, when the machine did its last restart, Qualcomm Network Manager opened with a message that the LSP has not mapped correctly. I clicked 'YES' to remap it. Probably a stupid move on my part.

  Thereafter, I lost all network connectivity in all my virtual machines. I have virtual machines for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 RTM (not the preview) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. ALL of them have lost the network.

  The host computer has no network problem and works well after the upgrade.

  Any ideas or suggestions to reset network connections in virtual machines?

  All virtual machines are set to use NAT.

  Oh I have to say also that the host computer is running VMware Workstation 10 and everything was fine and dandy, has never had problems at all until this upgrade/LSP remap thing. I have install VMware Tools in the VM of Windows 8.1, with no effect at all.

  Thank you.

  Two things, I'll try:

  1. go in the virtual network editor and restore settings. The culprit is probably the VMNet to NAT configuration.

  2. If this does not work, it seems that the virtual card for NAT does not somehow. The simplest workaround is to uninstall and reinstall the workstation.

• ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine

  For pure and for training automatic tests, I installed VMware ESXi 5.0 as a virtual machine inside a VMware ESXi 5.0 host (physical).

  How can I configure the network interface to allow the VM ESXi?

  Is there a best practices document to configure VMware ESXi as a virtual machine?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Basically, all you have to do is to allow mode promiscuity on vSwitch physical hosts, which you connect virtual ESXi hosts. Make sure that virtual ESXi hosts are configured with the virtual "E1000" NETWORK card adapters

  For other settings, please take a look at Execution nested VMs

• virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

  virtual machine cannot start, because the snapshot of the virtual machine has been deleted by mistake.

  When I start this virtual machine, it prompts: unable to find the 0001.vmdk, this disc is my shot, has been deleted by mistake.

  How to restore this virtual machine.

  You need help with a revival of the 000001.vmdk deleted or do you want to repair the virtual machine so that it works without the snapshot?

  The last option, follow these steps:
  remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit the vmx file so that it uses the basedisk. Then add the virtual machine to inventory.
  If you need data from the snapshot call me through Skype "sanbarrow" - I may be able to help

• New virtual machine cannot reach gateway all-in-olders Yes

  Hi, I'm using ESXi for a year with no problems, but now I'm having a very strange situation. New virtual machine cannot reach the front door, while the 'old'. New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa, but new looks as private. I tried different OS and still have the same question.

  That's what I have:

  Reference DELL R610 with RAID - 1 and RAID-5

  ESXi free 348481 4.1.0

  1 card NETWORK connected

  IPs public 16

  4 VM (W 2008 32bits, W 2008R2 64, 32 2008 W, W 2008 64) works perfectly

  All VM are stored on the local Datastore2 (raid-5)

  Last week, I installed:

  1 Openfiler ESA (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 R2 (gateway problem)

  1 W XP 32 (gateway problem)

  1 W 2008 32 (gateway problem)

  Older VM never lose connection with gateway and beyond

  New never manage to bridge

  I can't manually add gateway IP/mac address (error 5) in the new.

  Anyone can figure it out and how to solve? I'm really lost.

  Thank you

  New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa...

  This excludes actually questions 'virtual '. The vSwitch has no restrictions.

  What kind of physical switch are you using? If this is a CISCO switch to ensure that the port is configured as a port of access (or trunk port) and spans tree portfast is. Some CISCO switches have a "macro"set desktop on their ports which limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed on the port.

  André

  PS: Please don't ask me. Did you check the address of the gateway AND subnet mask are correct for the new virtual machines?

• Average throughput of the network to a virtual machine with PowerCLI

  I would get average network throughput for a virtual machine with PowerCLI including all e-cards, the virtual machine has for the last week (not including NFS or storage of traffic-related).

  How best should add this report:

  Get - vm myvm | Select name, numcpu

  Thank you!

  Try like this

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="Avg Network Throughput MBPs";E={    [math]::Round((Get-Stat -Entity $_ -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) -Stat "net.throughput.usage.average" |    where {$_.Instance -eq ""} |    Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average)/1KB,2)}}
  

  The script takes the aggregate value for all NICs for (the one where the Instance is an empty string).

  Then we take the average and converts the Kbps, Mbps.

• How to use PowerCLI to change the connection of network of 60 virtual machines

  Hello

  I have several virtual machines of XenDesktop with similar names and currently the same network, but I want to be on a different network. Here are the details:

  For my virtual machines, appointed XD-W7-01 by XD-W7-60, on 1 network adapter, they are all currently on 'Network VDI of Xen Production' for their connection network. I want that they all be changed to 'network of VDI Xen Test '. can you give me the script to make an and I can certainly understand the rest. Thank you very much in advance.

  Hello, MarchTheMonth-

  Welcome to the communities.

  You can do this quite easily by using the cmdlet Set-NetworkAdapter , as:

  ## for one VMGet-VM XD-W7-01 | Get-NetworkAdapter -Name "Network adapter 1" | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "Xen Test VDI Network" -WhatIf
  

  (remove the '-WhatIf "do actually change).  So, for all the machines of sixty, it would be something like:

  ## for all of 1-60Get-VM (1..60 | %{"XD-W7-{0:d2}" -f $_}) | Get-NetworkAdapter -Name "Network adapter 1" | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "Xen Test VDI Network" -WhatIf
  

  Yet once you take off the coast of the - WhatIf to change.  What to do for you?

• Is it possible to use the box that esxi is installed as a virtual machine?

  I have correctly installed ESXi and established virtual machines using the VI Client. The virtual machines are installed with the operating system and on balance, everything works as advertised.

  PC, access the box of ESXi are far enough away from the real server. Is it possible to have a vm residing with the box of ESXi machine on ESXi box?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is new territory for me.

  Ken

  Hey Ken. Good job getting everything setup and operation. Unfortunately you cannot 'see' a guest of the ESXi server. I suggest you bring a laptop with you on the server.

  If you have found the following information useful please consider giving points and or the marker said.

• How Virtual Machines to access the data over a Fibre Channel SAN network

  Hello

  I have storage EMC SAN and HBA Qlogic card installed on a server from VSphere 5

  How do I access the LUN that I created on the SAN on a virtual machine.

  Please help step by step because I am a new on VSphere

  so the trick with rdm, is that there may be any vmfs existing on it. so even if you do not want to perform a new scan, it can be mounted in the storage. delete the vmfs partition, remove it from storage, then go to add HDD on the vm again and rdm will be is greyer. Obviously im assuming that there is no data on this lun. This operation will destroy all information contained in this logical unit number since we reformmatting it.
