• Can I install the vmware tools on a HP Proliant 380 G5 with VMware ESXi 3.5 Installable U3 with HP management components?

  Hello, I have install ESXi 3.5 U3 on a Hp Proliant 380.

  I have created a virtual machine to Windows 2003, and when I want to install VMWARE TOOLS from Vmware Infrastructure Client, it does not install on the virtual machine vmware tools. Nor has received all messages from a Client Infrastructure and neither of the virtual machine.

  Why could this happen?

  Thanks in advance

  NO.

  The installation of vmware tools lies in an iso file, which is located on your host ESX itself and is mounted on the virtual machine when you click "install vmware tools".

  Weather or not your host has a cdrom drive is not serious, you can always add a virtual cdrom drive to your guests and use iso files, or the cdrom drive on the PC that you are using the VI client from.

  If you vm doesn't have a virtual cdrom drive, it can't mount the vmware tools iso, and you cannot install the vmware tools.

• Problems installing the Java tools

  I'm new to Java development, and I have a problem with the basic tools in place. I am running Windows XP, installed Java (TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 17 and tried several versions of Eclipse. Installed Eclipse version 3.5.1 then downloaded JDE plugin for Eclipse 1.0.0.67 but when I ty to install it I get a message saying that it is not compatible with the version of Eclipse installed (it seems to Eclipse 3.4.1, which isn't available currentlly). If I simply continue with the installation of the plug-in, I seem to get some of the BlackBerry menu items in the Eclipse program but it won't let me install the d. I tried to use the option software upgrades to help Eclipse, but it will not allow a link to the BlackBerry website. It says I'm missing some elements. Any suggestions?

  After doing some research I realized that the separate JDE downloads are stand-alone applications. I think that my problems have been solved. Thank you.

• Windows Update will not install the hotfix on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 KB3122648

  Hello

  I tried several times to install "MS16-019: Description of the update of security for .NET Framework 3.5.1 in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1" on a Windows Server 2008 R2, running Service Pack 1

  Windows Update has always ends with 'Failure' / has encountered an unknown error. Code 80073712

  The convenience store has not solved it either.

  The server is not really exposed to 'outside' as such, runs in a local network, regular, small; but sometimes, a web browser may be in use.

  Is there anything that can / should be done here to remedy the failure of the installation? Or free time and even not to worry about this?

  It would be great to have a few strong indications here. Thank you!

  System File Checker shows errors that are likely to cause problems with Windows Update. I would like to reinstall Windows Server 2008. That said, I have no direct experience of Windows Server 2008, so I'm not really able to help you.

• 500 error after installing the CF on Windows Server 2008 IIS7 9.0.2

  After installing the CF 9.0.2 on Windows Server 2008 with IIS7, I get an error 500 return of all my websites.  I made sure to change the permissions in the C:\ColdFusion9 folder to full control for psaadm, psacln.  I'm sure that CGI, ISAPI extensions and ISAPI filters are installed.  I rebooted.  I can access the administration of CF on the server, but all of my websites are generating 500 errors on remote browsers.  The uninstall does not solve the problem.  Help, please.  What can I do?

  Problem solved!  It was related to incompatibilities of 32-bit/64-bit with Plesk.  There are two steps to solve this problem:

  1 snap the Internet Information services manager, access the properties of the advanced application pool and enable 32-Bit Applications 'false' for plesk (default) (2.0) (pool) value.

  2. in Plesk, disable the Web statistics (accessible via password protected directory ' / plesk-stat/webstat /')

  Note that you will not be able to use the functionality of Plesk protected directory until Plesk solves this problem.

• Is it possible to publish a model of LM 4.01 without installing the VMware tools

  I am trying to create a model of a machine in LM which is a BSD device from a vendor.  They stripped down the device, so we have tools installation issues.  Is it even when publication of the machine as a model without the VMtools installed so we can use it?  I always get an error when I try to do

  Yes.  Given that BSD is not known to the personalizer in any case, you will need to it's ip settings manually.

  In the properties of the model, you should see a checkbox to make the customization

  Just uncheck that, and should no longer be a vmwaretools check that prevents you to publish.

  Of course, once you make a configuration out of it, you will need to enter the operating system and change its settings IP manually, preferably the same IPS as labmanager expects her to have.  Shouldn't really be a problem however.

• How to launch and use the VMware tools

  After installing 2008r2 as a virtual machine and install VMware Tools, I am unable to open the tools and use them.  I did two days of searching, and I can't find an answer to my problem.    Downstairs is an action I took, but I would appreciate any help from the community.

  Purpose:

  Laboratory at home training and certification.

  Hardware environment: (based on "Chris Wahl" home Build Lab)

  SuperMicro Motherboard MBD-X10SLH-F-O

  Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 3.30 GHz processor with 32 GB of ram

  Software environment:

  64-bit version of Windows 7 Professional, host operating system

  VMware Workstation 10 with all updates installed with administrator privileges

  VM #2: vSphere 5.1 install

  VM #1: The Windows 2008R2 VM I have a problem with VMware tools.

  I've deleted and rebuilt the two VM three times now, thinking it was my environment somehow.  ESXi 5.1 works although I have not built anything there yet.  I am able to access this part of the laboratory fine of vSphere Client.

  VMware Tools:

  Within the Services of VM 2008 I can see VMware Tools started service, the icon in the system tray notification area and see the files on the C: drive of the virtual computer, but there is no way to open it.

  I followed several links to create a virtual laboratory, but should not be this hard to run a program.  It's my first time that you try to use VMware tools, but I'm following the steps in the lab below install procedures.

  In the middle of the page of "Blog Editor" part 4 "build the ultimate vSphere Lab is where it installs the VMware tool and lowest after restarting Windows Update service I'm stuck to the next step."

  "Open VMware Tools, go to the Shrink ."  Click on the button of the prepare to shrink . »

  ?  How to "open the VMware Tools?

  Now on the path I have searched for and deleted and reinstalled the tools, but always without success.

  Here is a link where I found the following measures to be taken, but it doesn't work either.  The "NOTE" at the bottom, it's something I noticed and made sure was right when I installed the last time tools.

  I even found a link to where you can download the tools separately from the ISO files, and yet, it does not work.  A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!

  http://www.vdsyn.com/Windows-2008-R2-virtual-machine-VMware-tools-shows-not-running-current-after-vmotionsnapshot-operations-randomly/

  So next step that we did was
  1 uninstalled VMware Tools in the virtual machine
  2 restarted the VM
  3. manually deleted/renamed the C:\Program VMware Tools
  4. manually deleted/renamed C:\Programdata\VMware\VMware tools
  5 Rebooted
  6. install the VMware tools
  7 Rebooted

  The issue is not reproducible after the same

  
  NOTE: Make sure that the virtual computer CD player points to the correct image.  I found it always go back to the windows 7 iso image on my C: drive from physical machines to where the image 2008r2 was on drive E:

  No need to reinstall again. You're not missing something. VMware has changed the VMware Tools tray and removed options that were available in previous versions. Take a look at for example experience front of VMware: The VMware Tools GUI is gone - now what? with some information about this change and the replacement of the command line.

• The VMware Tools ISO image does not exist or is not accessible

  I have a few virtual machines with a yellow exclamation mark on the vmware tools icon indicating that they can be updated. When I try and update vmware tools manually, I get the error: "VMware ISO image tools exist or is inaccessible. See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem". Below in the window of the error stack, I see messages, 'called 'VirtualMachine.MountToolsInstaller' or object < servername > ESXi '192.168.3.39' failed. Cannot install VMware Tools. An error occurred trying to access the image file ' / usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/windows.iso ' to install VMware Tools: 0 (input/output error). If your product comes with the module of VMware tools, VMware ESX to reinstall, then try again to install the VMware Tools package in the virtual machine. »

  I got messages stating I must check vmtools directory symbolic links and I think that those who are present. I also tried to manually navigate to the image file, but it seems that there is a problem any with the file system. See the images below:

  

  ESXi installed on a USB key. The directory of the iso images is corrupt? Can anyone help me on how can I fix? Should I just replace the USB key, or is there another way?

  See the input / output error on the screen usually indicates a faulty drive (or in this case device USB). I wouldn't waste a lot of time and replace the USB key.

  Ranjana,

  Please, review the vminst.log file located in % TEMP and see if we could see related errors.  Otherwise follow the troubleshooting steps below;

  1. check that the guest operating system that you want to install VMware Tools is fully certified.

  2. check that the correct guest operating system is selected

  3. check that the good ISO image is loaded. For more information, see ensuring good ISO image VMware tools is loaded (1003910).

  4. check that the VMware Tools ISO image has not been damaged. For more information, see determine if your VMware Tools ISO image is damaged on a host ESX/ESXi (1004820).

  5. If you are installing a Windows operating system, make sure that you do not encounter problems with your Windows registry database. For more information about the resolution of the problems of register with VMware Tools, see Impossible to upgrade the existing VMware tools (1001354).

  6. If you install on a 64-bit Linux guest OS, make sure that there are no missing dependencies. For more information, see Tools from VMware install fails to start the daemon of guest OS on the operating systems 64-bit Linux with the glibc-common package 32-bit installed (1023185).

• Update the VMware Tools without installing gcc

  Hello everyone,

  I have a couple of boxes Debian and Ubuntu (& gt; 100) in various race DMZ. When I am updating the linux kernel, I have to update the VMware tools as well. My problem is that these boxes are not allowed to have an Internet connection and an installed gcc.

  Does anyone has an idea how Handel who? Is it not possible to have a central host where the new version of VMware tools are compiled and one can distribute them to other boxes?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Rohit,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum. I understand that your USB drive is having problems of compatibility with your computer, but I would like to learn more about the issue in order to provide you with better assistance.

  1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
  2. When do you get exactly the error message?
  3. Have you tried to connect to any other computer on this flash drives?
  4. Your USB key works on other computers or have you tried to connect to different USB ports on this computer?
  5. Is the pen drive getting detected in the case or you are able to access the drive folder in the window of the computer ?

  The question may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged, or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows. This can also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

  Method 2:

  Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

  1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

  Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

  If the problem persists, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.

  1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
  2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.

• possible to install the client tools OBIEE and OBIEE server in the same machine

  Hello
  
  possible to install the client tools OBIEE and OBIEE server in the same machine.
  
  Ex:
  
  Last week I've updated Patch BP1 in my local system, in the process, we got the update also oracle Client tool
  
  But in my Administration tool in the built-in tool automatically updated, we need to install the client tool in my system?
  
  My doubt:
  Please check this screenshot
  http://ScrnSht.com/sskbjb
  Please help me,
  
  Thank you

  You should not install client tools because they will be automatically installed w install the server. The 11g installation guide says "do not install client tools on the same computers that host your server instances Oracle Business Intelligence, client tools are already installed on these computers (as part of the installation of Oracle Business Intelligence)."

  so useful, mark it as good or useful.
