[Q] cannot start a virtual machine - internal error [SOLVED]

Hallo,

I installed Workstation 8 and cannot start a virtual machine - or those created those previous or new. Turn the machine gives me an "internal error."

My characteristics: Win 7 64-bit (SP1), Core i7 2600 K with 8 GB of Ram

I scored an error... I tried to reinstall, clean... nothing helps.

Curiously, I can use the Player app to run all VM´s without problem...

All solutions?

Thanks in advance

  • Error 244: The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error.

    I have LabVIEW 2010 and, during Windows startup, this error message appears:

    "The DataFinder cannot start due to an internal error.

    (244): Please wait until the National Instruments PSP Service is running and try to start the DataFinder or restart your computer. »

    I got this pop error during the past year it's a recurring thing. He began to show a few months after installing the LabVIEW program on my computer, so I'm not sure on what caused this message still appears. I find that it causes also a delay in the start of my computer - my other startup applications starting to show only when I close the error window. Help, please! Thank you.

    Hi xcontradictorx,

    Looks like National Instruments PSP server locator cannot be started. Could go you to the control panel > administrator tools > Services and locate the server National Instruments PSP Locator? Double-click it and make sure that the service is started. If this is the case, stop and start again (just by pressing the stop and start buttons). If this is not the case, run it, and then go in the Recovery tab and choose restart the Service as long as the action of first, second and more about chess.

    If after changing the settings for the PSP the issue to continue service I think that for some reason any PSP service will just be started late for some reason any. Could you do a quick real test: disable the DataFinder in msconfig, reboot, then run the C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\Shared\DataFinderDesktop\bin DataFinder.exe. This should place the MyDataFinder app in your taskbar (that looks like a yellow gear).

    If this is successful, then we will have to change the order of startup services such as the DataFinder begins just after the service of the PSP.

    Try the following:

    (1) locate the DataFinder entry from the registry. Located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    (2) remove the entry DataFinder
    (3) add a shortcut to DataFinder.exe in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Menu\Programs\Startup
    (4) restart

    This should make all the standard Windows startup (as from services, etc.) and then launch the DataFinder.

    One question: do you use the DataFinder at all? Either with DIAdem or database search tool? If this isn't the case, you can try to remove it from the startup items. Simply go to start > run... and type "msconfig". Click the Startup tab, look for DataFinder and deselect. Click on apply. That will probably get rid of the error message.

  • Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

    I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

    Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

    Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

  • Cannot start the virtual machine in a HA cluster

    I installed a HA cluster with 2 hosts configured in it.

    I disabled the admission on the cluster control.

    Each host is a Dell Dimension 9150 with 2.8 GHz CPU and 2 GB of memory.

    I created a virtual machine on a host with 1 vCPU and 512 MB memory.

    However when I try to start the virtual machine, I see the task of 'Power on a virtual machine' fail with the status "the host has sufficient memory resources to satisfy the reserve."

    Why this is happening and how do after that?

    You have the minimum RAM required by ESX ESX 4.0.

    Add more RAM to play also some virtual machines.

  • ESXi 5.1 cannot start a virtual machine with Admission check has no memory error

    I see that there were a number of people who have this error and adjusting the reserve memory for the VIM under resources system has solved this problem, but not for me. My booking in the VIM process setting is '0'. Vital signs:

    Reference Dell T110 II server

    4 GB OF RAM

    Intel Xeon processor E31220 @ 3.10 GHz

    4 cores of the processor

    Hard drive 500 GB

    I changed the memory to the VM all the way up to 1 GB, no change.

    I played a bit with the allocation of memory VIM, no change.

    A fact interesting is that the Allocation of resources for the tab host watch memory @ 1747MB capacity, capacity reserved @ 0MB and available @ 1747MB capacity, but I have 4 GB of RAM and the vSphere Client shows it under the Configuration tab.

  • Cannot start multiple virtual machines.  Maybe I corrupted the model

    We had problems with disk space, and I was looking around to see if he had left garbage data store.  I am very new to VM, but even though I'm new I'm responsible for helping maintain.  So I learn a lesson the hard way.

    I found a number of virtual machines in organized which did not seem to relate to existing models.  For example, we have a model name 000729-Server2008 Server 2008, that they are in lm401\729.  But it appers to be a clone of 729 to lm401\16.  I'm going to guess that 16 was the original version and changes or clones have been made for him and we are now sitting to 729.

    Then I moved 16 in another data store, but it failed because there is a lock on the hard master.  So I moved everything back.  Now, when we try to start up of VMs driven from this model we get "file & lt; filename not specified & gt; not found"I went back and tried to deploy and supply on the model but I get

    Impossible to deploy virtual machines in the pool of resources 'resgroup-131.

  • Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

    I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

    Environment:

    Dell Poweredge T620

    E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

    40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

    ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

    Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

    Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

    Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

    The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

    5.5 of VMware ESXi

    ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

    5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

    Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

    Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

    Thanks for all the help!

  • VMWarer Image cannot start the Virtual Machine in Windows 7

    Hello

  • Cannot start the virtual machine guest after receiving "License expired message" host ESXi 5.5

    I can't start computer virtual invited after receiving "License expired message" 5.5 ESXi host. I am able to copy the vm folder prompted with all its files using WinSCP I had already installed on a desktop computer in the network.

    However, it takes an extremely long time to download the VM [2.5 mb/s], which is of course a different question.

    It seems that I was still on the trial with my vsphere client license, until it expired. I am able to view the virtual machine within the workstation 10, but I can't turn it on. It says "Please install a license to power on this computer" there is no way to install a license anywhere.

    My question is... .will I be able to access this virtual machine if I download on an external hard drive, then add it to 10 VMWorkstation that I possess a current valid license?

    Even if the evaluation license has expired, you should be able to connect to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client and follow the steps mentioned in the article that I posted before you enter the free license key.

  • Cannot start a virtual machine from an ISO stored on the NFS share

    We have an NFS share on our Windows 2003 server to serve the ISOs for virtual machines

    However if we have attached an ISO to a virtual machine and configured to boot from it, it does not find the ISO, just attempts to boot from the network, but if copy us the ISO in a data store local it will start and install correctly.

    We set the NFS share for anonymous access on Windows Server, we tried with both read and write permissions, but still no luck

    Anyone can get an idea about this

    Thank you

    Kimble

    ESXi must connect to the NFS share with the root account.  You will have to map the root login to an account on the Windows Server.   You can see a sample of the instructions here - http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/vmware-esxi/connect-esxi-to-windows-nfs.

  • ESX 4.0 - cannot start a virtual machine?

    I have recently install ESX 4.0 evalution in mode. We stopped for the licenses of our distributor who will take 3 to 4 days.

    ESX 4 installs successfully on DL 360 G5 and I use 30 MSA with 7 discs (1.6 to total) as a storage device. It detects the local drives and 1.6 to datastore perfectly. But when I create a simple virtual machine and start reading the BONES of CD ROM it does not start. Is it because I use eval mode. I think ESX 4 is fully functional and active for 60 days. When I start the virtual computer it concludes with the message "Operating System not found" and not even boot from the CD ROM After two or three configurations of chaning of VM, I'm still not able to understand. Can someone tell me where I am doing wrong. In ESX 3.5, I ran the virtual machine correctly but in ESX 4, I'm not sure. This is a new server and ESX 4.0 is also new facility. I also appreciate if someone tells me a guide that shows step by step how to create a virtual ESX simple machine. I have not yet install VC 4 as I have not yet received the licenses.

    Thanks in advance

    Please check the following things

    1, "to connect to the power on ' should be checked for the CDROM in editing parameters

    2, Goto VM BIOS and check if the CDROM is the first boot device.

    3, check the CD-ROM drive to start a physical machine

    4, check if you connect the CD-ROM drive to a remote location.

  • Cannot start the virtual machine on VMware Workstation 12.1.0

    The host machine is W2008R2, VM is the same. When im trying to start the current VM I see VMware screen, then "download files" screen loading, then VMware loading new screen and etc.

    Log file is attached below.

    An update of the firmware could certainly help.  After you install the update of the firmware, it can be useful following the instructions from the motherboard to reset the firmware configuration by default (if its configuration is not too heavily customized) and then reconfigure with custom settings, you might need.  Check that you have disabled in your TXT firmware settings too... who's going to stop us from using the capabilities of VT - x from the host.  And, where there is doubt, the error message is not really pleasant on cyclical food... Some systems cannot put a change of configuration of VT - x into force without being truly disconnected from power for a while, so if in case of doubt, he put it off and remove the power outlet for a few seconds.

    Your CPU is certainly capable of VT - x and support all the VT - x features required by VMware Workstation... Simply to force the system to allowing the use of VT - x and then it should start to work well.

    See you soon,.

  • Cannot start Windows Virtual PC host process. Check the log of the events system for more details

    Hello

    I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64 and seek to install Windows XP Mode Virtual PC.

    I followed the instructions at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx and receive the following:

    "Windows Virtual PC. Cannot start Windows Virtual PC host process. Check the log of the events system for more details".

    He does not point me to the "system event log", but he leaves me here. Any advice?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Ideally, this error message indicates that your processor does not support the against hepatitis a (hardware support for virtualization)function.

    Cause:

    Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode are supported only on computers whose CPUs are the HAV feature is enabled. Therefore, if your processor does not support the functionality of HAV or if this feature is disabled, you cannot start the virtual machines in Windows Virtual PC.

    To resolve this problem, follow the steps mentioned in the link below

  • How to start a virtual machine without vmx file

    Hello, I have a virtual machine that I want to start up using 10.0.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit workstation but I don't have multiple vmdk files and a file on me vmxf and apparently, that's all that is in the software. How do I run something like that?

    Hello
    You cannot start a virtual machine without a vmx file.
    If you do not have a vmx file - fly a.
    For example this one:
    -----------------------------------

    . Encoding = "windows-1252".

    config.version = '8 '.

    virtualHW.version = '8 '.

    scsi0. Present = 'TRUE '.

    scsi0.virtualDev = "free".

    memsize = "2048".

    scsi0:0. Present = 'false '.

    scsi0:0. FileName = "set-path-to-bootdisk-and-then-set-.present-to-true-to-activate".

    ethernet0. Present = 'TRUE '.

    ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

    displayName = "minimal-vm.

    guestOS = "windows7-64.

    virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted".

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

    That cuts into a file and store it as a *.vmx.
    Then launch the new VM with
    VMware /path-to-vmx/name.vmx or
    vmplayer /path-to-vmx/name.vmx
    Other users may also recommend to simply launch the user interface and follow the file > New menu...
    and then order the new virtual machine to the card by selecting your existing virtual disks.

  • What HA refusing to try to start a virtual machine?

    I'm trying just to clear on how this process works. If HA is enabled, there is a failure of the host, and he's trying to restart the virtual machines on one or several other hosts, when the host will refuse to restart (failover) a virtual machine? Assume that there is no reservation other than the default 37 MHz CPU and some booking fees calculated generals for RAM (these are the default values, right?). A host would continue to attempt to restart the virtual machines as long as there are at least 37 Mhz and a few hundred MB of RAM available for the moment he is trying to restart? And if so, there are algorithms maintains the host master to decide where to start these VMs? I just think that she should try to startups VM alternately between the available hosts and wait a little bit to make sure that there are still some available resources before you start the following, or something like that.

    Also, if there is fragmentation of resources (for example, 8% of availability on each of the 15 hosts), but HA needs to start a virtual machine that requires 15% of host resources (I realize that there is a reserve in order to decide this question of the requirement, even), would automatically make migration of VMS to other hosts (if the DRS is also enabled) or he'd just sorry cannot start this virtual machine, even if the group as a whole has space for him.  [in this case, must not make large reserves because without a reservation, the virtual machine would start upward and like CPU or memory has increased its use would cause some DRS force other virtual machines out of the host, and perhaps that would work.]

    vSphere 5.1 (vCenter and ESXi)

    The master knows where virtual machines are running and try to balance where virtual machines are started. Reservations and overhead costs are the only things taken into account from a point of view of its use (not the actual resources consumed on a host) because HA does what VMs restarted (and if they have reserves prompting these resources, they need to have to start).

    If the DRS is turned on and available, HA will work with DRS to move workloads so that the largest VMs can begin. If you have virtual machines more the thing to think about is what admission control policy you use. It may be wise to use the location function if all your virtual machines are large and close to the same size, or dedicated host of failover so you won't have to deal with shuffling DRS of workloads. Everything depends on your environment and your needs.

    Does that answer your questions?
