• Drives and SCSI controller

  Probably a stupid question, but on my Exchange 2010 VM I have 5 discs and 1 controller pvscsi, would I get better performance with 5 scsi controllers?   somewhere along the line, I heard that it was recommended, thank you all!

  

  The maximum scsi by VM controller is 4, the best practice is separate BONES of data.  A single controller for your OS vdisk and a controller for rest or any high IO vdisk.  I would recommend reading Exchange recommended server virtualization, it goes into detail... Here is the link for Exchange 2010 on VMware http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/exchange-2010-on-vmware-best-practices-guide.pdf

• Linked Clones and SCSI controller

  I created an automated linked clone pool that points to a virtual machine Windows XP parent. I used the parallel LSI Logic Controller and the value of the SCSI disk (0:0). The problem is, after the pool is created, when the user connects, they invited to a username and password with this message "you must be member of the Administrators group on this computer to install this equipment. SCSI controller.

  I don't do our domain users members of the local Administrators group, so this creates a big problem.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

• Add the new SCSI controller and new drive - powershell SDK

  Hi all

  I'm trying to add the new disc of paravirtual to my VMs. There are two types of virtual machines in the environment; a Paravirtual controller attached and others are without controller; so my task is to set the new drive of paravitual using powershell SDK.

  So far I am successful with my code if the controller is already present but the script fails when I try to attach the controller. with the error.

  RecommendDatastores: The method call failed because [System.Object []] contains a method named "RecommendDatastores".

  I know that this script is not good enough to post here because it is an initial draft, but in the script attached please help me with the present part-

  The Script requires a csv with VMname entry; Disksize to be attached and store cluster data

• Type of SCSI controller and the driver for Win XP Pro

  Can anyone tell me please what SCSI type should I use for Windows XP Pro? Any SCSI controller I use, VSphere, ensures an error telling me that Win XP does not support the driver that uses VMware ESX to SCSI virtual devices - but it works very well.

  Any help is appreciated. TY

  This is the document that I always follow when creating XP workstations,

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/XP_guide_vdi.PDF

  Note that you need the new version of the driver for new service packs.

  That said, like André request can you put a picture of your error.

  As a result, I'm moving this post to the guest OS of the forums section.

• Why do not the remove-hard drive remove a disc with a new SCSI controller?

  Hi PowerCLI gurus,

  I try to use PowerCLI to automate the solution for article configuration of disks to use VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) SCSI adapters (1010398).

  Remove-hard drive sometimes gives me a misleading error when I use it to remove a hard drive with a new SCSI controller.

  The FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  Can anyone here explain the error?

  My version of vCenter server is 5.1.0.

  My PowerCLI version is 2.0.

  Here's what I've done to reproduce the error.

  First of all, I connect to vCenter and stop the virtual machine.

  $TestVM = 'TESTVM '.

  $TestServer = ' vcenter - test.local ".

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $TestServer

  Stop-VM - $TestVM VM - confirm: $false

  I add a new hard drive and store it in a variable so I can refer to it for the next steps.

  New hard drive '.

  -VM $TestVM '

  -Persistent persistence"

  -Flat DiskType '

  CapacityKB - 1024'

  StorageFormat - thin '

  -OutVariable TempDisk

  I make a note of its name.

  $TempDisk.Name

  Because my VM already has 2 discs, the output is "hard drive 3.

  Then I add a new SCSI controller on the hard drive.

  New SCSI controller.

  Hard drive - $TempDisk '

  -Type ParaVirtual '

  NoSharing - BusSharingMode

  Now, I try to remove the hard drive from the variable to remove the disc.

  Remove-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  It fails with an error that says "Hard drive 3" has already been removed.

  Remove HDD: 12/02/2014-18:51:33 remove-hard drive the FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  On line: 1 char: 1

  + Delete-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  + CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (3:FlatHardDiskImpl drive) [Remove-hard drive], VimException

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VirtualDeviceServiceImpl_TryValidateDeviceExists_DeviceDoesNotExist, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveHardDisk

  But I see that there are still "hard drive 3"!

  Get-disk hard - VM $TestVM - name 'hard drive 3.

  CapacityGB persistence Filename

  ----------      -----------                                    --------

  0.001 persist... B-DATA-01] TESTVM/TESTVM_9.vmdk

  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

  I don't think that the cmdlet uses actually the UID, but more likely a MoRef to the vSphere object that represents the hard disk.

  Remember that under the covers most of the PowerCLI cmdlets do calls to the vSphere API.

  Change the Uid, property value indicates that the hard drive connected to the new controller is a new and different purpose.

  And this explains why the hard drive remove does not work with the original hard disk object, it no longer exists.

• Help pass the hard drives of a scsi controller to another scsi controller!

  Hello

  I deployed a cluster of virtual machines from a template and trying to customize them according to the requirement. I called one of the post and used the code below. Changed the settings of the virtual machines, but the image is corrupt all the time.

  # get the virtual computer object

  $vmVMSTORE23 = get - VM VMSTORE23

  # a thin in the storageformat of hard disk

  $vmVMSTORE23 | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - thin StorageFormat

  # define the type of SCSI controller

  $vmVMSTORE23 | Get-SCSI controller. Set controller SCSI-type VirtualLsiLogicSAS

  I tried the other way, adding a new scsi controller and move the existing hard disks to the new controller scsi. A hard disk created along deployment of a model does not again move scsi controller and vm tries to start node scsi 1:0 and no node scsi 0:1. This is the snap of code I used

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} Name - CapacityGB 1 - Datastore (Get-Datastore $_.) (Magasin de données)-persistence IndependentNonPersistent-confirm: $false} (disc 2)

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} {Name - DiskType $_.rawtype - Devicename $_ .rdm1 - confirm: $false} (Disc 3)

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} {Name - DiskType $_.rawtype - Devicename $_ .rdm2 - confirm: $false} (drive 4)

  $disk = $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {Get-disk hard - VM $_.} Name | Select the option - 4 first}

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-SCSI - HDD controller $disk - type $_.} Type}

  Someone please help me with this.

  Thanks in advance

  SAI

  What I wanted to say, create a new hard drive with the new type of controller.

  Like this

  $vmName = "TestVM"$VM = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  New-HardDisk -VM $vm -CapacityGB 1 -ThinProvisioned | New-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
  

  Then restart the virtual machine and the guest operating system must take care of the driver.

  Once the driver is installed in the guest operating system, you can move the hard disk that contains the system partition to the new controller.

  $vmName = "TestVM"$VM = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  $controller = Get-ScsiController -Name "SCSI Controller 1" -VM $vmyGet-HardDisk -VM $VM -Name "Hard disk 1" | Set-HardDisk -Controller $controller -Confirm:$false
  

• Satellite A30: HARD drive, modem and USB controller

  Hi, I have problems with my laptop A30. The HARD drive looks like it will fail (bad sectors) utility that I downloaded on the Hitachi site tells me that it is a hardware failure.

  I am also unable to use my modem that I also get a "cannot open port ' error even if everything looks fine in Device Manager and I have a problem with a USB controller that is apparently not entirely installed but I can not find the drivers for it!

  I am not a happy customer of Toshiba and it seems that there is a general failure with these the 30 GB Hitachi hard drives!

  Retro Hi,

  Maybe not much consolation, but my original 30 GB hard drive has been replaced after only 6 weeks of use. The replacement lasted 8 weeks and the third disc rotate a little better at 16 weeks. Readers were a mixture of Toshiba and Hitachi drives. After the failure of the third car, I decided to buy a bigger HDD (80 GB) and install it myself rather than lose the laptop for another two weeks so that it has been repaired. Then, I bought a new smaller HARD drive that I have installed in an external enclosure (USB) which I use now for regular backups of entire system weekly.

  The HARD drive inside my A30 notebook on the right side directly on the optical drive, and there was a noticeable temperature increase when I work with the optical drive. I have a theory for pets, this increase in heat may adversely affect the HARD drive at times.

  The last drive (a Toshiba MK8025GAS) is in place for 7 months but Norton Ghost has recently begun to report bad sectors so it looks like a new drive could soon be made to order.

• Conflict between the Intel HD Graphics driver and controller SMBus Intel code 12

  I have a copy of Windows 7 and for some reason, these 2 drivers are in conflict.

  Intel HD Graphics (8.15.12.2622) and Intel (r) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller - 3B 30 (6.1.7600.16385)

  And the Intel HD Graphics Wont run... (Code 12) that gives me problems because I can't use my graphics card.

  Are things that I need to know.

  Many of these drivers can be disabled safely.

  And that was more important for the system working properly

  If I can get these questions quickly, it would be perfect... Thank you

  Hello Michael,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

  What is the brand and model of your computer?

  Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.

  SMBus is the System Management Bus used in personal computers and servers at low speed, system management communications. SMBus controller is integrated into most Intel chipsets and SMBus controller driver is one of the chipset drivers. He keeps a check on the power of temperature and voltage. In addition, it communicates with the power supply on your PC.

  Graphics driver is important to better display Windows. Without it, the resolution of the screen becomes very low.

  These devices may conflict when they were assigned same ports of entry/exit (e/s), the same interrupt, or the same Direct access channel in memory. The assignment was made by the basic input/output system (BIOS), the operating system, or a combination of both.

  I suggest you run this Microsoft fixit and verify.

  Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  I hope this information helps.

  I am currently deployment of VMWare view for the first time in a test environment and have hit a problem I have not been able to get around despite several searches on google and trial and error.

  Hoping that someone here could suggest something.

  View the VMWare versions are all 6.0.1.

  vCenter is on a device.

  VMWare view connection manager is on a 2012 R2 VM server.

  VMWare view dial is on a separate server 2012 R2 VM.

  I have a 2012 SQL on a separate server 2012 R2 VM Server installation.

  SQL databases have been set up for the composer to be able to reach it, it uses ODBC 64-bit via SQL Server Native Client 11.0.

  I tried troubleshooting by exchanging 32-bit, but this is not connected, it seems so 64 bit is correct.

  I have a windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition VM under my Golden image. There are VMWare tools on it and the VMWare agent on it.

  The virtual ipconfig/release performed top machine, he was then stop and a snapshot taken as my source.

  The problem is that when I go to deploy a pool of offices, I get the above error.

  If I connect to the VM created via vCenter readers persistent and temporary show very well.

  Based on the error, I tried different settings such as change the path for the reader of DVD VMs of D: to Z:, spread unique persistence and the temporary disks on multiple data-stores or data stores and even remove the drive of DVD of VMs completely. I have also looked at newspapers under composer view but find nothing to explain the behavior.

  SQL Server seems to work for configuration through the error logs and virtual machines are created and added to AD as expected.

  I must point out that the virtual machines are as linked clones.

  Can anyone offer a clue as to the cause or something, I can check it please, did everything I can think and Googling the error does not come to the top with something useful so far.

  Thank you
