• "Error: failed to get the IP address of the destination virtual machine running the converter to assistance server." with a static IP address

  Hi all

  I'm trying to p2v linux 6.4. It fails with the following message is displayed:

  Error: Cannot get the IP address of the virtual destination machine running the converter assistance server.

  I have seen discussions on this message, but they all refer to dynamic IP address, taken from DHCP, as in my case, I use static IP address.

  In the meantime the p2v (which then breaks down...) I open console support machine and saw a message:

  
  

  eth0 is not a recognized interface.

  Can someone tell me what is happening?

  Hello

  I assume you are using converter 5.5. There is a new feature that allows the selection of the network card. However, it works well in the case of Linux P2V. If you have changed the type of adapter, use 'e1000' or 'auto' and try again.

• Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.

  Hi all,

  After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?

  Thank you.

  Marco.

  OK let me explain.

  As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.

  1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.

  2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Hope this is clear. Let me know if not

• You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

  I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

  Hi Letstub,

  There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:

• Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

  I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

  It is lifted directly from my EULA:

  1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

  The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that

  comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

  1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,

  display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on

  THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used

  by more than two 2-processor both on the

  COMPUTER, unless a greater number is

  indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
  Then...
  This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
  I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
  However...
  If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

• Virtual machines running Win 7 OS

  I'm trying to get information on how to configure a virtual machine for Windows 7. I use virtual machines demonstrate software that writes my business. I have a virtual pc that is different for each demo that I show up to now, I've been showing the software in XP virtual machines but want to migrate and start showing the software in a version of Windows 7.

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate which is what I thought was necessary to create a virtual machine from Windows 7, but it isn't clear how get the operating system in the virtual machine. Should I buy another license of Windows 7 to make it work? I'll be able to create multiple virtual pc if I buy another copy? Virtual PC uses the 64-bit version?

  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks - BP

  Unfortunately the Virtual Machines have their own separate license from the license of the host system. There are also a separate license for each simultaneous installation.

  In order to run a 64-bit VM host must be running in 64-bit as well, even if a 64-bit host can run 32-bit VM

  Each virtual machine is at least 2 files, a configuration file and then 1 VHD file for each hard disk, you configure (you can have more than one) in the virtual machine. You can have any number of virtual images, but the memory that you allocate is claimed when you run the machine will be how many can run at a time that is limited to the amount of physical memory in the computer, allowing for some to be available for the host o/s.

  Once you have the license of Windows 7 either convert the disk ISO (I use ISORecorder) or download the ISO image equivalent of Digital River. When you create the VM configuration use the control panel to include an optical drive and load the ISO in the drive. When you start the virtual machine, it will be BIOS start the virtual machine, exactly as if it were a physical computer and load the ISO the same as would a Windows 7 disc. It also works if you convert your demo software into an ISO file and install more quickly without having to use the optical drive on the computer.

• Extend a datastore in vCenter with virtual machines running

  We have expanded our Volume and unit number logic on our NetApp SATA VMStore from 2 TB to 4 TB, we now want to expand in vCenter, I'm ok to do this within office hours, while VMS are running on the data store?

  Going via configuration - storage - etc etc...

  It should be good. Off-peak hours are preferable, because you must make playback etc.

  This will not affect the virtual machine running inside.

  Unless there is a particular requirement, why not go with 2 TB Lun? I mean add another 2 TB logical unit number rather than add a measure?

• Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

  Hello.

  I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

  I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  

  

  Welcome to the community,

  Booking of resources being completely transparent for the customer, i.e. a host function, there is no need to turn off the virtual machines. Basically all settings in are available to be changed in the editable GUI generally without interruption of service comments.

• A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

  The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

  If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

  most important:

  change

  virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmx file

  then change

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmdk file

  the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

  also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

  If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• Compare with virtual machines running VMs

  So, recently, we had a major problem in our environment where a ton of virtual machines registered of VC and even became unmaged by facilitators, so we had to go to each host compare managed virtual machines running virtual machines.  Is there a way to do this in Powershell?  My brain is fried so I didn't have much luck.  Thank you!

  Could the script in this post, HowTo find all VMX files in all data warehouses and store them in VC?, maybe help you?

• My PC says that it can not download dates because virtual memory runs out? Who can help me. Thank you

  If anyone can help to guide me to overcome the lack of virtual memory. Thank you.

  I've never seen this difficulty it work or do something, but you can of course try it (he says it of fixing, but makes no changes for me).  I think this is another of these Fix sound that doesn't fix it.

  I'm not sure that the idea to the other link "get your virtual memory" is a good idea either because it doesn't tell you how to find out how much you have memory, or how much it raise.  Just bumping may be not a good idea.

  Research in Manager tasks will tell you not how your currently running applications use unless you enable the column size virtual memory manager tasks, so that the idea will not a great party serve for you-at least that is how it works on XP system never I've never worked on virtual memory.

  If you look in the event viewer after this message, you are likely to see is something like this:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Application Popup
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 26
  Description:
  Application popup: Windows - virtual memory Minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.
  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory
  for some applications, applications may be refused.

  You already know that well.

  I think it would be best to ask a few questions first, check a few things, see what you have now and then decide what to do:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  If you mean that you see a message like this:

  Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

  If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

  Sometimes, the message indicates someone was tampering with the XP of the paging file settings to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file and resolve things inefficiently.

  This could mean that the settings have been adjusted for certain values that don't make sense for the configuration of the system.  Unless we know the system better, you can't just pick certain values out of the air and that your system behaves effectively.  You might not see the message again, but this does not mean that the settings are correct.

  This could mean that the settings have never been properly in the first place when you first install of XP and things must be properly configured.

  Sometimes, as your system configuration changes over time and other applications are running and get bigger, you may add additional RAM to your system to accommodate things (or run the number of requests).

  At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

  Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

  The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

  System managed size

  Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

  Set the paging file size on:

  System managed size

  Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK (several times) and then restart your computer.

  Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

  If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

  "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

  If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

  The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

  If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings, follow these steps so that we can see what you have:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the results here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

  This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.

• Impossible to reconnect to a virtual machine running

  Hello

  I removed decadent a virtual machine running in the inventory.

  The machine virtual is critical and cannot be stopped.

  When I try to browse the data store the option "add to the inventory" is grayed out.

  Alternatively, you can try to reboot the virtual machine in vCenter:

  1 vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms

  2 vim - cmd vmsvc/reload xx

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!
