• ESXi 4 - move the virtual machine to different hardware

  Hello everyone, I'm new to VMWare. I was wondering if I say ESXi 4 running on a Dell poweredge 2800 dual processor with 2 VM I could take these virtual machines and move them (the moving process no matter as long as it is possible) a dual processor Dell Poweredge 2950 with different RAID card, RAM, CPU, etc, and ESXi 4 is also installed, etc. it would work?

  Thank you!

  Like you, I'm pretty new to VMWare. That being said, I have 2 servers ESXi right now, and I moved the computer virtual from one to the other without problem. I vSphere Essentials, and it was very easy to ' cold migrate "a virtual machine from one server to the other. The host of the virtual machine (white non-liste) origin is simply a HP dc7900 PC with a quad-core processor and 8 GB of RAM. The new host of the virtual machine is a Dell 2850 (non-whtelisted) with 2 processors duo-core and 8 GB RAM. The virtual machine has been the guest of 32-bit OS (Windows XP), while she had no problem. I can't move my Windows Server 2008 VM for your Dell printer, because it does not support 64-bit for the guest operating system (the processors are not compatible VT).

  The only thing that will happen is that Windows (XP, in this caes) will have to go through the process of Validation WIndows again, because there are some major hardware changes, as seen by the operating system. Not a big deal, just soemthing to consider. I also had to re - check my Adobe products on this virtual computer, as I did not have the unvalidate on the virtual machine before moving on to the virtual machine. Adobe also thought that it was a whole new PC, so I had to call & make them validate the installation manually.

• What should I do to use Workstation to open a virtual machine created by the merger?

  Because my MBP is in the shop for repair, I need to use on a PC Workstation to open my VM created by Fusion on a Mac. I copied the VM to a NTFS drive and thought, I'd go, but when I try to open the virtual machine in the Workstation 6.0.5 build 109488, I get a message saying that the configuration of the virtual machine file contains features not supported by this version of Workstation. What should I do to access this virtual machine? I have more access to the merger, because it is on the machine in for repair.

  Update your workstation 6.5.x (current latest version is 6.5.1) in support of hardware virtual version 7.

• What is the open file Virtual Machine vCenter web console?

  What is the open file Virtual Machine vCenter web console?

  I have about 20 MV listed here and the rest under VMS.

  Thank you

  Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

  Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.

• In opening the virtual machine: "could not find a peer valid to connect to" or "error of Transport (VMDB) - 32" / "-14" ""»

  Hello

  Since yesterday after a reboot of my host (DELL E6410, W7 SP1 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, 2x750GB SATA3 running WorkStation 9.0.2 Update Windows Update), I can't open my existing VM.

  I often get "can not find a valid peer to connect to" and sometime before: "Transport (VMDB) - 32 error: Pipe: reading is not'or'error of Transport (VMDB)"-14: fitting broke"»

  I worked for 2 years on this machine without a hitch, WS7 reclassification in WS9 without any problem.

  FYI: we have changed the domain 3 months ago, but it has never be a problem.

  I have google and search several Forum. So far, I tried to:

  -restart the service vmware-auth as an administrator

  -launch vmware.exe administrator

  stop/start the vmx86 service

  -uninstall / reboot / install Workstation.  3 times. First using uninstall from the Control Panel, then doing a / clean before installation and finally track down any file/reg entry.

  -HE asked if any group policy changes were made recently (like not allowing to run vmware.exe?)

  -Rename vmware.exe (logs I look similar to what is in this post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/331099?start=0 & tstart = 0 ... but no luck)
  

  -excluded vmware.exe in my AV (Microsoft ForeFront). Unfortunately, in that I'm not allowed disabled...

  -Open the virtual machine using the drive == > does not work either.

  This isn't a file corrupted in a virtual machine (even backup - 7zipped - don't work on my laptop... but the launch on the other).

  Even a newly created WM (boneless), unbootable! :-(

  *, BUT to BE NOTE *: if a virtual machine is created as a shared virtual machine, I can start the application locally remotely! And this same VM, if started (via the.vmx) does not work using Workstation GUI!

  I have attached 2 newspapers. Work a (vmware.log remotely) and the inactive (vmware-vmx - 4072.log thru WS GUI).

  Of after what I saw (and what little I understand), it's as if the CPU is not detected?

  The two newspapers have this line:

  FeatureCompat: EVC masks:

  but the non-working goes - we with

  Module CPUID initialization failed.

  While working it display information on CPU (hostCPUID name / family / type... etc...)

  Any idea is welcome.

  I'll answer me to my problem!

  A lot of research to this knowledge.

  In summary: don't mess with the processor affinity... or keep it in mind!

  Response to distinguish:

  I installed 6 months ago a small utility named prio (search for "PRI prnwatch"), because it can save the priority of a given process. What I did notice, is that it also save the processor affinity ! What happened: I probably changed the affinity once for a VM running to give greater priority to a 7zip archive process to complete more quickly (setting HT no core to 7zip and one - or 2? - HT core to VM). Everything works until the next reboot, where the CPU detection during * start EVERY * VM has been somewhat "damaged" leading to the wrong log message: failed initialization Module CPUID.

  This is the reason of *my* question. Perhaps it might help someone else?

  TIPS:

  For advanced people who do not want to check the processor affinity of each process in the Task Manager, you can try this Windows Powershell command (remember to launch PowerShell as an administrator):

  Get-Process | Format-Table-PriorityClass name, ProcessorAffinity property

  ProcessorAffinity column gives the number of representation of the authorized core, 1-bit by heart.

  15 = 1111 is all possible core (for a logical processor 4). Mine is 1 CPU with 2 core HT <=>4.

  LSB is the core lowest. So if you allow only core0 and core3 (1001) on a process, the number of ProcessorAffinity will be 9...

• Could not open the virtual machine

  I used the customer convertor to create this virtual machine from one which works well on ESxi.  When I try to open on Win7-64 machines running vmplayer 3.1.4 I get the following error:

  Could not open the virtual machine: file "D:\Data\VM Machines\WW S2008_32\WW S2008_32.vmx 10_1 10_1" line 1: syntax error.

  Any ideas?

  "" "WW 10_1 S2008_32.vmx.zip" attached file contains the "WW 10_1 S2008_32.vmx" file created under VMware Player 3.1.4 and was then modified to reflect the values of parameter that you might want to stay the same as uuid etc.  Start VMware Player and then check the settings before running the virtual machine.

• Getting error: could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information

  When I have a virtual machine to export to the FVO on an ESXi 4.0 and then try again to import the FVO on VMware Player or Workstation 7.1, I get the following message:

  «Could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information.» I can successfully re-import this file OVF in an ESXi server without any problems. Anyone know why this is happening and what can be done to remedy this?

  Thank you

  Christopher

  Hello.

  Try to use ovftool to convert a VMX of the FVO.

  Good luck!

• Open a virtual machine in a san on 2 different esx hosts

  Hi, I have a Vsphere essentials, 2 Esx hosts and an Iscsi san, I need to connect the virtual machine in the two esx hosts (I know I don't have FT and HA), in order to launch the virtual machine never the first Esx and if first host, does not have the virtual machine on the second esx.

  I tryied to connect the virtual machine to the second host, but the Vsphere client tell me that's not possible, because the virtual machine is already present at the first ESX.

  There is a way to establish this setting?

  For some it may depend on your application, if you can run multiple instances of the same application? If it is a web application? It stores its data in files on the server, or it stores it in a database locally? or remote database?

  -VM on a local storage of the army, would not really recommended if you need so that it starts the VMS on host b quickly.

  -If the two hosts have access to permits it storage even say and what the application can really be run only once.  He could only save it to HostA and if it fails at some point that it will be released the lock, have it on the virtual machine and you will be able to manually register the virtual machine to host b and start the virtual machine.  However, you will not be able to really get ahead.

  -HA out of here, as if a host or power failure shuts on HostA, HostB will feed into the virtual machine down automatically

  -FT - here in the spectrum creates a VM ghost on the secondary host in levels (what happends on HostA happens on host b)

  -Another option to the other end of things has implemented Microsoft MSCS Clustering with iSCSI support I think.  You can run VMS with iSCSI to your San and clustered like this application.  Just note that with iscsi client it uses some CPU to create iscsi packets.

  -Web Cluster, Cluster database.    It doesn't matter if one of the nodes of web servers or the database nodes go down really that the user will be redirected to another node in the cluster so really no need for HA/FT.

  Of course, with some of the here above are expenses and pro / con of and there's a few ways to increase availability.

• Networking between virtual machines on different hosts

  Hello

  I need some advice on the basic approach to networking between virtual machines, each running on a different host machine.

  Consider the following configuration:

  I have a few processes that are running in a Machine virtual Ubuntu. Call this guest1.  I guest1 race inside a real computer running Windows XP SP3 and VMware Workstation 7.x; Call this host 1.

  I have a copy of this virtual machine that I put on another machine.  Call this Guest2.  I have Guest2 running on a separate physical computer, also runs Windows XP SP3 and VMware Workstation 7.x; Call this host 2.

  Now, I would like to guest1 and 2 comments to make networking with eachother.  I wish they were able to ping, SSH, etc., among others.

  This is where I am stuck. I tried setting the virtual machines to use the bridged network mode.  I tried to connect my router on each computer and manually assigning IP addresses to each host and each virtual computer.  When I do this, guest1 can Host1 and Host2 ping, but cannot ping Guest2 and vice versa.

  What is the right way to do this kind of network?  This seems like an obvious application, if you want to perform simulations on multiple virtual machines residing on different computers on the network.

  I apologize if this is the answer elsewhere, I had to dig and was not able to find the solution.

  Thanks in advance!

  Charles

  Guests must be on the same subnet, like 'real' hardware machines.

  1 when you copied the VM and then started, what did answer you the question of copy/move? (this determines if a new MAC address is applied)

  2 view each guest and ' ipconfig/all' results 'ifconfig - a' by the hosts.

• Could not open the virtual machine after Windows blue screen

  I updated my machine Windows 8, he projected blue, now I can't open my VM that I had open at the time of the blue screen.

  This is the message that I received from VMware Workstation 10 attached.

• File not found error when opening a virtual machine (from No-Time Machine backup)

  Hello world

  I have a problem with my installation of Fusion 2.0.6 on my iMac to Snow Leopard related to a "file not found".  I did my best to analyze the positions of the community to see if anyone has experienced this before.  I found several posts and tried the suggestions in these posts, but I have not been able to solve.

  I'm trying to restore from a full backup of my XP VM. It's not a backup Time Machine; just a straight backup of VM together using SuperDuper (part of my nightly backup routine).  To restore, I copied:

  -> BACKUP/users/John/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

  for -> MacHD/users/John/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Home Edition.vmwarevm

  Merge, I opened the Windows XP Home Edition VM, only to get the error:

  «File not found: Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s001.vmdk.» This file is required to power on this virtual machine.  If this file has been moved, please provide its new location. »

  I find the file hard (what is there) and get the same error message several times.

  Interestingly, when I try to open the same VM from the backup location, I also get the same error.

  Really stuck now and don't know what to do.  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  John

  It seems that the latest files are missing. The virtual disk which I guess has a size 5-6 GB provisioned consists of 3 files, of which 2 are missing for snapshot 000005 (Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s002.vmdk and Windows XP Home Edition-000005 - s003.vmdk). Unless you have some backup, your options are limited and you will need to go back to the last instant whis is dated March 2012.

  Windows XP Home Edition - 000005.vmdk descriptor file (text file) will show the files that make up the virtual disk (the Flash disk in this case).

  That's kinda our old friend is back.

  Two checklists

  1. check the version of the VM VGA driver, if that's the case, you must update the WDDM driver display driver.

  2. make sure that you use HW 7 and more.

• Best way to move a virtual machine to new hardware

  I have a SBS 2011 VMS under ESXi 5.  The material is not enough and performance are slowed down.  I want to spend the SBS 2011 VMS to new hardware.  After install ESXi on the new hardware, which is the best way to move the virtual machine.  It's big enough, and it is a production server - I'm looking for fast and efficient.  What are the most common problems when moving from a virtual computer to new hardware?  Thank you!

  A virtual machine is encapsulated in a set of files, making it easy to carry; You can copy the files from the virtual machine using WinSCP or any other program to the destination host. Register the vmx on the new host and turn on the virtual machine. You may also look @ of Veeam FastSCP for this purpose. I have not had the chance to use it yet, but it's free and seems very popular with the community:

• How to access the virtual machines to different physical network?

  Hello

  I'm new to ESXi, can someone tell me how can I access virtual machines on the physical network existing in case I use different IP classes? Physics of the network by using the class C IPs and I assigned IPs to virtual machines of class A? If it is possible, then, what are the steps?

  In fact, I installed exchange 2010 VMs and also want to access the email accounts of physical network.

  Thank you.

  You mean there's no way in ESXi to configure the way so we can access the virtual machines to physical network? without third-party applications.

  Because it is impossible for the various networks IP connect without a router, you must have such a device. There is really no difference in that in a pure virtual or physical environment.

  You might think the ESXi host as a box with one or more servers (virtual) inside and one or more layer (virtual) two switches, just like a small server room. This means you will need to provide the same type of connectivity that you would have to a new server room with machines configured with addresses in a different IP network range.

• How to create disk shared across virtual machines on different hosts

  Hello

  We implement Oracle RAC on two virtual machines, one on each of the two armies for redundancy. For our installation:

  • The two ESXi hosts two SAN access a logical unit number.
  • Two virtual machines on the hosts must have access to a single virtual disk on this LUN (or unit number logic itself) at the same time.

  We tried the following:

  • Creation of a data store associated with the LUN, and then creating a new hard drive on each virtual machine using the same virtual disk on the data store. This operation failed because as soon as a virtual computer runs, the other virtual computer cannot run since the first has a lock on the file from the disk.
  • Creation of a new hard drive on the virtual machine through RDM. This operation failed because only the first virtual machine has this option of disc. Once the ROW has been assigned to the LUN, the other virtual computer cannot create its own RDM for the LUN.

  I'm learning just VMware so I can miss a fundamental method to accomplish this, or perhaps, it is not possible at all. You know a way to create the installer I described?

  Welcome to the community,

  I can not specifically help with the Oracle RAC, however, I would recommend that you take a look at MSCS documentation for how to configure shared disks. There is a difference in the way in which you have installed the VM, for example all VMs on an ESXi host or on different hosts. Please keep in mind that MSCS is a cluster without sharing, which means that only one node at a time has access to a shared virtual disc/RDM.
