• VMware vcenter converter standalone physical conversion to virtual stuck to the completion of 81% for several days

  Hello everyone I have an interesting question, I'm physical conversion to virtual pointing to the new virtual directly on the server esx conversion would set schedule for a day. But now, it's just stuck at 81% and not go further! I don't get any errors of ideas? questions are there a basis that I can look to see what is happening? Is there a way I can fix it without start over again. There are enough resources on the destination esx I had to change the hard drive space for destination and ram, but done nothing radical imprint more small which I think should do better.

  It's an interesting case, you have here. I guess that conversion is complete, but somehow you do not see or a deadlock occurred.

  Anyway you will probably be able to export logs to the customer. Go to the directory of newspapers to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs (for WP/W3K) or vCenter Converter Standalone\logs %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware (for Vista +) and find the log of the last worker (vmware-converter-worker - .log #). The status of the conversion is currently connected. Take a look, or that she has finished, is still running, is stuck.

  If he has you can try restarting the client and/or server converter service. Do not stop the worker service unless you are sure that there is no conversion running!

• Windows 2000 Pro system/disk physical conversion into virtual machine

  Fairly new to the world of the VM and was directed to VMWare for possibly a problem for us.

  We have a gentleman with an older system running Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) with a ton of software installed.  We put in place a new Win7 Pro system for him, but he won't Cross and reinstall everything (in addition to the time involved, some of the software is older and Win7 compatibility is probably a problem).

  We were originally at a switch KVM allows you to switch between systems, but then I found in the converter and thought this would be a great solution for him.  My thoughts are to use the converter to create a virtual machine from its old system/hard drive and install Player on its new Win7 system, it can fire up to his old Win2000 environment when he needs to work - and we can empty the old physical system.

  I have scanned through the documentation for converter and understood that I would need a version of Converter before 4.3 (like, 4.01 or earlier?).  Now, what should I install on it have to happen?

  Do I need to set permissions on its legacy system to expose the discs on the network?

  Can I get the old HD and connect it to the new system and convert this way?

  Do I need to install something on the source and the host system to do this?

  Once I can understand this point, we may need to conduct a number of other older systems, it keeps alive for the same reasons.

  I guess I should ask first - is that what this application is designed to do?  Or it fits into another software solution?

  Thank you very much for any information/guidance someone can provide - greatly appreciated.

  (PS.  Please don't just live/link me to the documentation.  As mentioned, I went through that, and I'm not real familiar with the setting/process, so that really helped a lot.  Thank you once again.)

  VHDs are used by VirtualBox and VirtualPC
  VMware uses the vmdk files

  You start converter on the Win2000 and tell him to "convert THIS machine.
  It then creates a vmx file plus a vmdk file.

  On the Win7 host you install VMplayer or workstation, and then simply double-click the vmx file... If everything works as expected

• physical conversion RDM virtual RDM

  Hello

  is this possible without actual destroying RDM and constituting in RDM virtual physical? We have more than 2 TB of data on it and online extension is problem because virtual RDM must be restarted to recognize the new drive size...

  Hello

  It can happen only when the virtual machine is turned off.

• Conversion from a physical to a virtual domain controller domain controller

  Hello everyone!

  I was wondering if you guys can help me. We are running a physical server Proliant DL 360 Gen 8 as our physical domain controller. The host runs HP VMware 5.5 Update 1, and the domain controller running Windows Server 2012

  I am looking to convert it to a virtual DC as a backup. I would like to add it to a host computer currently running three VM. I have a few questions.

  (1) is there a way where if the physical domain controller goes down, that the virtual server is brought online automatically?

  (2) are there caveats to a physical domain controller in a virtual domain controller?

  (3) is there a step by step guide on the process of conversion from a physical to a virtual domain controller domain controller?

  (4) what should I stop all services on the physical server during the conversion?

  (5) that I would be able to take the virtual domain controller and make like a secondary domain controller?

  Thank you

  No, you misunderstood. For additional availability, you must implement a 2nd DC as a virtual machine now and leave this race. Don't bother to put something automagic, just the 2nd DC easy running.

  Backups should always be done on a regular basis, because they might be useful if two domain controllers fail for some reason any.

• Best practices - addition RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

  Addition of RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

  Unable to find another thread on this

  When you add RAW disks to the second node in Virtual Machines across physical hosts in the Cluster / Cluster across boxes,.

  VMware said shared point of the storage drives in the same location as the first node sharing storage disc *.

  -Select use an existing virtual drive...

  -In the drive path, navigate to the location of the disk (quorum) specified for the first node

  -Select the same virtual device node you chose for the first virtual machine shared storage disks, IE SCSI (1:0)...

  In other words to add the RDM to mscs-node2, navigate to/vmfs/volumes/lun1/mscs-node1 / mscs - node1_2.vmdk (mscs-node1_2 - rdmp.vmdk)

  For years we have directly added the ROW the second node specifying RDM disk not existing does not, in general we do directly from the host, not the vCenter, it seems to work fine.

  For what is the safest way, the official method can cause all sorts of problems if you need to cancel the registration of the ROW on the first node (here's where I found no official documentation).

  Delete you or keep the file descriptor? We tried to keep him, but ended up with several mappings to la.vmdk/rdmp.vmdk, so now, this system has disk2_.vmdk / disk2_ - rdmp.vmdk and disk4_.vmdk / disk4_ - rdmp.vmdk pointing to the same RAW.

  What really bothers me is safety, these are very important boxes, I prefer to continue to have the VMDK and rdmp.vmdk in separate data warehouses, and do not have this dependence on the head node

  Your comments please, we are viewing the store only setup of MSCS clusters with lanes separated from RDM and are there risks associated with this?

  * Ref: "Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service - 4.1 and Failover Clustering".

  I realize there was an error in my logic

  When you work with the main node, if there is a requirement to unmap drives ROUGH (move to another cluster vmware, cloning the system etc.)

  Take note of the location of all the rdmp.vmdks

  Remove each rdm disk without deleting

  To add

  Add "Use an existing virtual disk to disk" (yes I know its bad, but once you create the host calling now think its virtual)

  Navigate to the mapping of existing raw device, appearing like a vmdk * and add using the former location of scsi

  Graphic interface hides the descriptor

  A virtual disk has a vmdk and a flat.vmdk

  A CRUDE disk has a vmdk and a rdmp.vmdk (the dish is replaced by vocation)

  A suggestion of one of my companions is to locate the al the ROW in a single data store small, visibility of virtual machines with raw disk went like this

• Required physical server Vs Virtual Machine memory

  Is there a white paper explains why we we need less memory in the Virtual Machine as compared to the physical Machine.

  The problem is that my boss wants to know why this is so. It is very difficult for me to explain this to him, he wants to see a white paper OR some article on the internet.

  As long as a VM administrator, I know that we can add and remove a virtual computer memory but it will be not that simple when it comes to physical servers. I suggested to him that we must follow a standard, and if there is a requirement for business we can increase or decrease is according to the needs. So when the salesman comes in they give us specifications for the physical server and not the virtual and there is always an argument that why should have 6-8 GB memory VM from the outset. In order to avoid everything that the arguments it needs more proof.

  Thank you

  Here is a simple explanation of why VM need less memory.  Transparent page sharing.

  If you install a virtual of Windows 2008 SP2 single server machine, lets assume that it uses 500 MB of RAM while sitting idle.  It's basically all running components loaded into memory.

  If you then put a same VM, the new machine virtual don't re-charge not the exact same components in memory.  ESX will see the same exact memory block has been loaded into the memory of the host Server1 (phyiscal material) and then simply point the virtual machine to the component already loaded into memory.

  After the virtual machine has been loaded and GST has kicked, you will probably find that for 2 identical virtual machines you use not only 650MB of memory (not 1000 as expected).  This is because 80% of the components has need of the new virtual machine, it only uses the existing memory blocks, instead of duplicating.

  Now, repeat this operation on 10 VM and assume only 50% of the memory is the same between them... it is still a huge economy of memory.  In this case, since each VM Windows is really loading only 250 MB of itself in memory and split the rest, technically you don't need to allocate 2 GB of RAM for each virtual computer... you can easily get away with putting 1 to 1.5 GB on this server and I have always the same ratio of available memory for the programs that you would do if it was a physical server.

• Documentation for the conversion of virtual and physical memory

  Are there any decent documentation for the conversion of virtual and physical memory?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Yes I do, I'll send you my notes!

• Convert the physical Linux machine with VMware Converter Standalone 4.0.1 on VMware Workstation

  Hello

  I work in a virtualization project, now I test and I want to test the new version of the converter, because I need to convert some Linux machines and I know that with this version is not difficult.

  I do not have the ready virtual infrastructure so I test on a workstation environment. I would like to know if someone has converted a physical Linux machine to virtual and if the destination has VMware workstation 6.5. I know that this is not supported, but this does not mean that you couldn't do.

  When I have to specify the type of destination, I got the error that you could see on the photo.

  Please let me know if you have tested this before and you know how to solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon

  Malulas,

  Welcome to the Community Forums.

  To do a physical to virtual conversion, you MUST GO to ESX.  It is a requirement under the guidance of the user manual.

  If the virtual machine was already in ESX, you might be able to export to a workstation image while the ESX VM is powered off.

  Sorry for the bad news.

  Kind regards

• Machine virtual Windows 7 - freezes\reverts of the screen when going from Windowed to full screen and vice versa.

  I use a Win7 box with a Machine virtual Win7 on it.  When I started using the VM, it should start and login and work very well.  Shortly after I started having the following problem.  It loads in windowed mode, so I me the welcome greenish\blueish after cutting inside.  If I wait for the Office to load, when I do the full VM screen, it goes full screen then the screen goes to the Welcome screen again, but it's just a static image.  It won't change until I have send a Ctrl-Alt-Del command.  Can I get the normal window with options for logging, start the Task Manager, etc..  If I press ESC or click Cancel, it will show the office and I can work on it without problem.

  If I leave full screen mode windowed after that, the same thing happens, except instead of the Welcome screen, I get the screen of Ctl-Alt-Del as a static picture.  Once again, if I send the Ctrl-Alt-Del command, then cancel, I get the office as usual and it will work until I have try to resize the screen again.

  Can someone help me understand what is happening?

  Thanks in advance,
