New hard drive fails on Windows Server 2008 VM with LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

When I try to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer with the cmdlet New-disk hard of a Windows Server 2008 virtual computer, I get the following error:

New-hard drive: 18/01/2010-14:59:48 New-B8EDFDDF-ACF6-43AC-B111-51D332290FC7 hard drive for the entity vm-315 failed with the following message: "Number of virtual devices exceeds the maximum for a given controller."
On line: 1 char: 13

+ CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (vm - 315:String) , ViError
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_TaskServiceImpl_CheckServerSideTaskUpdates_OperationFailed, VMware.VimAutomation.Commands.NewHardDisk

When assigning a different virtual machine, for example the parallel LSI Logic Controller, it is not a problem at all. When I add additional disks using the VI Client, there also no problem, regardless of the SCSI controller I use.

Someone had this problem as well? Y at - it a known solution?

Hi rengelen,

I admit that I was pretty murky about when the fix will be available. The thing is that VMware has a policy that employees should not mention liberation time unless we are certain that we can keep his promise of 100%. Hence statemens as 'will be available in a future release.

  • Add disk Workflow fails when you use the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

    I'm in vCenter Orchestrator 4.0.1

    When you try to run the workflow work add drive on a virtual machine that uses the LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller I get an error no controller found.

    This workflow is under: library-> VIM 3-> Virtual Machine Management-> device management

    The workflow add disk supports the LSI Logic SAS controller?  If this is not the case, no idea of how to create my own custom adds workflow to disk that would work with this controller?

    Thank you!

    Which plugin you have configured to talk to your Virtual Center? the plugin 3.5 or 4.0 plugin? If you have used the plugin 4.0, you must use the library-> VC-> * workflow so that the correct objects get used.

  • SITE v2.0 failed Installation on Windows server 2008 R2 with SP1

    Installing CPID v2.0 on Windows server 2008 R2 with SP1, the Setup log reported that the installation failed with the error "CustomAction RollBackSccmComponents returned error code 1603"

    I run the Setup with this command after you open the command prompt as 'Run as administrator ':

    MsiExec.exe /i Dell_Client_Integration_Pack.msi

    I even put the command above into a batch file and run it with the same result. With the help of Trace32, I also found this error to be the main problem causing the failure of this facility:

    "custom action InstallSccmComponents unexpectedly closed the hInstall (type MSIHANDLE) handle provided. The custom action must be set to not close this handle.

    I found myself by opening a ticket with Dell to get this problem finally solved. After the installation of Dell's Support log shipping, they asked me to follow these steps below:

    1 if the SQL DB is on a separate machine, try to create the "SMS_TaskSequence_Action" class in WMI under \\.\root\sms\site_ >.  You can download WMI Explorer to browse if you want to see if this class already exists.  Run the script below will not hurt if it already exists.

    a. here are the instructions to create the custom class.  First open powershell as an administrator.

    b. set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned

    c. change the extension on the attached in .ps1 file and change the file to replace the "site_abc" by "site_their 3 letter site code.

    d. change the storage location of the ps1 file.

    e... \WMIClassAdd.ps1

    f. restart and try the installation again.

    3. If it still does not work, send me the newspaper install again to look at.

    Note:

    Here is what was in the attachment in step C.

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

    $newClass = ' new-Object System.Management.ManagementClass

    ("root\sms\site_abc", [String]: empty, $null);

    $newClass ["__CLASS"] = "SMS_TaskSequence_Action";

    $newClass.Qualifiers.Add ("Static", $true)

    $newClass.Put)

    After you run the instructions above and restarted the server, installing v2.0 CPID ended successfully.

    I hope that these instructions will help someone in the future... :))

    We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 with Sp1. There was the same exact problem in Windows Server 2008 (KB958596).

    When you use RDP or ICA (Citrix XenApp 6), smart card login prompt at random does not appear. When we close the RDP or ICA and make a new session of the guest of the smart card is here.

    In this scenario, users are unable to connect with their card chip and instead, he is invited for their usernames and passwords. If users don't provide these details, the Terminal Services session times out and disconnects.

    When this problem occurs, the option of smart card logon does not appear in the Terminal Services session. Users cannot connect by using their secret codes, and they must provide a user name and password.

  • Cannot import Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4.

    Hi team,

    I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...

    Following is the error message:

    "Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.

    So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?

    Thanks in advance,

    It's even easier than that

    Use this: http://www.winimage.com/

    Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

  • HP 6310y can't get the new hard drive to load windows 7

    model 6310y - Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

    My desktop PC has stopped working.  I took it to the local computer store and they said it was the HD.  I bought the new hard drive and tried to install the retail of Windows 7 home premium 64-bit OS.  I got an error Code 0 x 80070002.

    I called HP support... told me that I needed their brand of recovery disks because the motherboard or BIOS would not allow me to install Windows 7 on new replacement HD disks without having their (HP).  So I ordered their... $17

    I bought another new HD and tried to install Windows 7 OS with HP recovery disks.  This time got the 0xe0ef000e error Code.

    I have to mention every time trying to install OS on new replacement HD... He got about 8 to 12 minute installation before receiving error messages.

    I called HP support... this time said that the retail version of Windows 7 OS must have worked and that I didn't need the HP recovery discs brand new replacement HD installation.   They offered me to pay $199 and send my office to fix inclusive it... all.

    Very confused.  I never had something like this before... I had several hard drives die over the years and have replaced the myself and installed all of the software including myself OS without any problem like this.

    Memory retrieves okay when using the diagnostic f9 key... She showed problems with HD during one of my many attempts of diagnostics

    Not sure if it's a bad mother or the video card integrated... do not know how to find either... since I can not the PC market

    It will start at Blue HP screen & most of the time allow me to enter in the screens f9, f10 or ESC.

    Don't know if its worth paying $200 to fix this or go and buy a new one for about the same price.

    any suggestion or help is appreciated

    Thank you

    I had to send it back to HP.  It is a bad motherboard.  They dropped the price a bit to replace the motherboard.  I don't remember how much they charged me.   I'm guessing around $200 - $300

  • Windows activation - new hard drive and reinstalled Windows, but will not work with the product key

    Hi all

    My hard drive died so I put a new in and installed Windows on a drive, but when I have just activated and put my product key does not work. In fact, I get this day by putting in and then it says character not aloud.

    Please can someone help? All I've done is put a new hard drive in but guess that Windows detects that the product key has been used on the old, which explains why it won't work on the new. What should I do to activate the key?

    Thank you

    Richard

    Thanks a lot for your useful replies. I've got in contact with Microsoft and they gave me a key and it worked!
