• I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

  I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

  The disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state.  Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again.

  I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

  Any idea what's going on?

• Consolidation of Virtual Machine disk is necessary question

  Today, I have one of my virtual downwards because the error message that says that "there is no more space for disk virtual xxxxx - 000018.vmdk.» you might be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant volume by clicking on try again"

  I want to know why this happened if I make my virtual with 1.5 to and my server is new... so for the most part the server have 300 GB in use... I also had 750 GB available for an another virtual and that the question, why this virtual grow too much and too quickly?

  Also when this happened how can I do to solve this problem, how disk space if I did a single data store with al the available space.

  The suggestions will be welcome.

  Thanks for you comments.

  Concerning

  JP

  In the files you posted, it appears that 000002 and 000007 files are not in use by the virtual machine, but the others are. What I recommend you do is to open the Snapshot Manager, create a new snapshot and then run "Delete All". This should clean all the snapshots except for the two mentioned above. If this is the case, shut down the virtual computer and move the two snapshots listed in a subfolder (to be able to restore them in case I'm wrong), then power on the virtual machine again. If there is no error, you can delete the moved files.

  Unfortunately I can't see any rule, snapshots are used and that have been created just for adding hot backup not, so you should always have to understand this from scratch. At least for the moment until Acronis comes up with a fix, you need to delete snapshots manually on a daily basis since the Snapshot Manager (create a new cliché-> Delete All) to avoid any trouble with too many active snapshot on the virtual computer.

  You have another virtual computer that has NOT "changed block Tracking" on, to see if the problem is related to the CBT!

• Consolidation of virtual machine disk is necessary

  Hi all, I met one of my VM that have the warning message "disc of virtual machine consolidation is necessary" and I check and there is no existing snapshots in snapshot Manager.

  When I browse the data store I have a lot of vmdk files such as below. How can I correctly to clear up? It is a production server so it would be safe for me to power off?

  Running the ESX ESX Server 5.1 U1

  Server1_00.VMDK 157GB

• Question about the size of my Virtual Machine

  I'm on Fusion 3.1 (and Windows XP in Fusion on a MacBookPro Leopard). I put my Windows Virtual Machine to be 40 GB size but I just ran OmniDiskSweeper and it shows that the virtual machine takes 53 GB. I see the same size in the Finder.

  Two questions: first, how is it possible for the virtual machine to limit growth, I gave him? Second, is there a way for me to downsize (safely). I did not quite in the virtual machine (mainly my installation of Windows) and a handful of programs so it's weird that she's so big.

  I have disabled Auto-protect.

  I have two snapshots, one of when I first set up the virtual machine and one of very recently. I once had a bunch of other photos but I deleted them. I mention this because I read in another thread that "orphan" instant can hang out somewhere but I don't know where to look to see if this is the reason for the growth of my virtual machine.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  One thing I didn't get your last answer: if snapshots are not backup, and the creation of a snapshot causes the basic disk that you want to stop growing, which are good for snapshots? Or in other words, your response, it looks like I should stop creating snapshots, Yes?

  In which case I should rely only on periodically manually save the virtual machine by copying in the Finder on an external drive?

  What I said was "Snapshots are not backups in the traditional sense of the word and should not be relied upon as such either." However, using clichés absolutely has merit and value but how to use them effectively and efficiently seems to escape most of the users.  As a general rule, I treat a not different Virtual Machine and a physical Machine, then when it come to back up the user data and the ability to quickly restore the entire construction as well as user data.  I use snapshots mainly for short periods of time, and then either delete them when I don't want to lose changes made along the way, or if I go back to a previous snapshot.  For example, I can run on a given snapshot and say a single snapshot for a week and if all was well I'll delete it and take another or if I need to do something that could end up with bad results I'll take a snapshot to do what I do and if I have a problem just go back to the previous snapshot or the basic disk as appropriate.  The trick is user data constantly backed up out of the Virtual Machine itself, as well as at some point in time I never have to worry about the State of and reason for any data or instant and what action I might have to or want to take.

  There are many other cases workers scenarios about how/when to use snapshots and it was just a bit of food for thought because I don't have time now to get deeper into it but the snapshots are a good thing to use as and when necessary, but do not count on them to replace the traditional methods/methodologies for backup/recovery of data user or any backup/restore system but use then as a another tool in the digital Toolbox.

• Questions about the archive/delete a virtual machine for later retrieval.

  We run VSphere 4.0 in a 10-node cluster.    We have a VM we want to remove the system, but we want to archive it so that we can restore it later if necessary.

  Initially, I was counting on stop the virtual machine, the navigation data store and copy the files to a local disk using the button 'Download' on the data store.  Then after the copy, by an "out of disk" on the VM on VCenter.

  Then later if we need the machine back, download the files and do a 'add to inventory' on the VMDK file.

  However, when I did the download, I noticed that VMDK files on the downloaded folder had names with "-flat" added to them.  So 'server.vmdk' became 'server - flat hard '.

  If I copy these files with the '-dish "in the name in VMWare later, they will come to OK?

  Or, given that I'm trying to (archive a virtual machine), is there a better way to do this?

  Your comments would be appreciated.

  Mike O'Donnell.

  That is right.  "Every hard disk to a virtual machine consists of a pair of files hard. One is a text file containing descriptive data on the virtual hard disk, and the second is the actual content of this disc. For example, a virtual machine named examplevm has a drive attached to it. This disc consists of a file less than 1 KB examplevm.vmdk descriptor and a 10 GB examplevm - flat hard flat file, that contains the contents of the virtual machine. ' - of Ko 1002511.

• Consolidation of virtual machines to a custom policy

  I have a group of VMs that currently do not reside in the same folder, but are identified by a naming only through multiple vcenters scheme.  * acmevms *.

  I can't combine them into the same folders. In vSphere UI-> Configuration-> manage strategies, how can I better apply a strategy custom for them?  I don't want to have to manually select the 400 VMS and add them to the group...

  Thank you!

  Create a custom group. Is he filled dynamically. Add virtual machines by criteria name contains acmevms. This will dynamically fill all virtual machines with this generic term.

• Question about how to include the virtual machine output

  Currently, using this command:

  Get - vm | Get-networkadapter | ForEach-Object {Write-Host $_.} The name', ' {$_.macaddress} '.

  Gives me this result:

  NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:1 c

  NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:28

  I'm interested also in writing the name of real virtual machine as well.

  name of the virtual machine 1, NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:1 c
  name of the virtual machine 1, NIC 1, 00:50:56:bc:00:28

  Don't know how to work out of virtual machine name as 'Name' asks also the network card information.

  Try it like this

  $report = foreach($vm in (Get-VM | where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" -and $_.Version -eq "v7"})){
      Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vm  | `    Select @{N="VMname";E={$vm.Name}},

• Questions of VLAN to the ESX virtual machine

  Guys,

  We run ESX on a R710 with 4 network ports and two virtual servers that it contains.

  We want a server VLAN 1 re-branded and the other to VLAN 2 from the actuall switch. Only problem is there is room for 1 VLAN because all of our physical network cards are already used. Here's the brerakdown.

  vmNIC 0 is for the management port (1 nic physical)

  vmNIC 1 is for VMS (1 nic physical)

  vmNIC 2 & 3 is for the iSCSI network (NIC physical 2)

  So you can see we have not more physical NIC left to assing one of these virtual machines to a VLAN different

  Any ideas? I created a virtual switch, but we of course no physical NIC to attach to it. When I tried to add the existing virtual machien nic, he warned me that the virtual machines will be moved to it. A little confusing, but how do I get this other server on one VLAN different?

  If you enter just one ID VLAN on the parameters of port group ESX will mark all frames leaving the portgroup with a small (4 bytes) 'tag' indicating the id VLAN. This tag will then be analyzed by the physical switch will then understand what VLAN, this framework needs to be sent in.

  However, the switch must be configured to accept incoming frames with certain tags. If this is not the case, most of the switches will drop frames with identification tags VLAN strangers.

• Question about the volume on several virtual machines sharing

  Hey!

  Try to use vmkfstools on Vi remote CLI, but he says that he is not recognized as an internal or external command... Is there an easy way to share data between several virtual machines? If so, how? Also if we are implementing raid 5 are we building our vitrual (windows 2008 Server) with the typical c: or d: drives? That is to say. You put the Windows Server 2008 on a separate virtual C: drive and data on a disk separate from virtual D:? Or is it no more? What about the Windows swap files? Must create us virtual drives, JUST for page files? Sorry I know this is a lot, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  1. is there an easy way to share data between several

  virtual machines? If so, how? A CIFSor NFS share would be preferable. Since I got you guess the VMS are mainly Windows you want to go with a CIFS share. You can run a virtual NAS appliance  (http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/)

  Also if we are implementing raid 5 are we building

  our vitrual Server (windows server 2008) with the typical c: or d: drives?

  That is to say. You put the Windows Server 2008 on a separate virtual C: drive

  and the data on a virtual disk from D:? Or does not everything

  more? Yes design you virtual as your physical systems i.e. separate Boot/system information application. just build you VMs how you would with physical systems (especially true of SQL or Exchange).

  What about the Windows swap files? We create virtual drives

  Yet, ONLY for page files? Never did it for physical so no systems

• Consolidation of necessary Virtual Machine disk

  Hi all

  I have a virtual appliance for vShield Manager and I am not able to turn on. It is said "Consolidation of disk. If I try to turn it on, it gives the error:

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM vShield Manager.

  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/vShield Manager/vShield Manager - 000002.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  The virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created. The content of the virtual disk ID parent does not match the ID of parent for children's content

  If I browse the data on which the virtual appliance door store, I see the file hard 000001.vmdk and 000002.vmdk.

  I did SSH to the esxi host and using vi attempted to verify the descriptor files vmdk disk file to change the CID but vi vShield Manager.vmdk is empty. There is no content inside the VMDK files.

  How can any suggestion I solve this problem?

  Thanks-AG

• Script of cli power consolidation for virtual machines

  We get a number of necessary groups every morning when entered in our test environments, someone knows the best way to configure a script to run in order to consolidate the vms who needed?

  I tried using the command below:

  I expected this, but still see consolidation: Burkina Faso / vms, can someone help to?

  May be that the script fails because of plug-in software component PowerCLI has not loaded. Try to add the line to your script (add it as the first line) and check if it works.

• Protect both virtual machines with features of ESXI fault tolerant clustered disk

  Hello world

  I read the following:

  VMware vSphere with operations management: fault tolerance | United States

  The line that interests me is:

  "VMware vSphere® fault tolerance (FT) ensures the continued availability of the applications in the event of server failure by creating an instance of live snapshots of a virtual machine that is always up to date with the first virtual machine. In the event of hardware failure, vSphere FT triggers automatically failover - ensure no interruption of service and prevent data loss. »

  Question:

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  FT can protect both virtual machines that share disks in a cluster configuration? (A cluster SQL instance for example)

  No, you can't, because there is an incompatibility with FT.

• Windows 7 Pro x 64 activation of virtual machine in VMWare

  Hello community,

  I am faced with the following question: I used to install a virtual machine with Windows 7 Pro x 64, and I used a new license key to run it. It is intended to be used as a production machine. It worked perfectly while I was installing it, but I stopped it before using it in production, as I had other activities to do first.

  I turned today, and Windows claims to be not registered: "Windows 7 Build 7601 - this copy of Windows is not genuine."

  The related error (not very useful) is: "the activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used.

  Of course I tried to register again, also I tried to re - enter the product key. I always keep a list of licenses and their hosts, so I know that I can not incompatible.

  What bothers me is that I could use another license, but I don' t want to lose this one, and what happens if the other did the same thing in a few days/months?

  Some of you have this problem or something related? No idea how solve it?

  Best regards
