• ESXi host goes to the State and the virtual machine does not restart on other host does not

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a solution, in which case the host goes to the State and the virtual machine on it does not restart on a different host (they'll just gray) does not not what could be the problem here and how to fix it

  later when the failed host returns upward machines either go to motor off the coast of the State, or they show that under tension

  While the host is down or not responding do not I am able to ping the host ESXi (5.5) and able to ping the default gateway and the DNS servers of the host itself

  Yes AF, the answer to all these questions is Yes, it is a HA and DRS cluster active, I tried restarting mgmt service, we use a shared storage (storage iSCSI HP 3PAR and left hand)

• Creating a virtual machine Image

  If I wanted to create a server image I could use whenever I needed to deploy a new virtual machine, which would be the best way to do it? I simply create an image and then clone it when I want to create a new virtual machine? Would I need to sysprep it after the clone?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  If I wanted to create a server image I could use whenever I needed to deploy a new virtual machine, which would be the best way to do it? I simply create an image and then clone it when I want to create a new virtual machine? Would I need to sysprep it after the clone?

  If you use vCenter, and then create a virtual machine image 'Golden', convert it into a template and then to deploy virtual machines of this model.  As long as you copied the right sysprep files for earlier versions of Windows 2008/Vista, you can customize (sysprep) virtual machines as part of the deployment.

  Good luck!

• Free version of ESXi can support for configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client?

  I have read and found some documents on ESXi.

  According to the documents, I know that ESXi free version does not support some advanced virtual machine configurations and does not support write to ESXi host permission. But when I download ESXi from vmware.com, I can't find the free version. He will always be a trial of the licensed version edition because I can always do the configuration of start and stop virtual machines via vSphere Client installation. I can also run scripts (lamw) pl in vMA to stop the ESXi host (authorization to write ok?)

  Then I confused. How can I get the really free version of ESXi? Or will the free version after 60 days of evaluation?

  Start/stop above configuration is in vSphere Client via 'Configuration'-> "start/stop VM"-> "Properties"... «-> "Allow the virtual computers start and stop automatically with the system" actions setting and stop virtual machines can be configured to "comments"turn off computer"or"Suspend".» Can any body tell me if it's supported by ESXi free edition?

  Is the free version of vSphere Client too? Because when I use the vSphere Client, he told me that I have 60 days of evaluation. This confused me again. I think that vSphere Client is always free, am I right?

  Any suggestion or advice is much appreciated.  ^_

  Configuration of start and stop virtual machines is available with the free version and licensed, with the free version you would be configured everything via vSphere Client, where as with a licensed version, you can optionally use scripts to configure it and also issue restarts/stops using scripts.

  Second, shutdownHostViaSOAPAPICall.pl for the version licensed and free of ESX (i), this script will work in both free and licensed because it uses direct SOAP calls emulating the vSphere Client communication. Take a look at the documentation for details, but this of course is not supported by VMware.

• Cannot allocate more memory to the virtual machine image

  Hello

  I am currently using VMWare Workstation 5.5.4.  I have a Win XP image that I run.  My host computer has 4 GB of ram (3 GB recognized by hospitality Windows OS).

  Currently, I am only able to allocate a maximum of 1 372 MB to my virtual machine Image.  I want to allocate more memory to my image, as I do more memory intensive tasks to my image.  If I try to increase the amount of memory (even to 1376 MB), I get the following error message:

  

  Any ideas on how I can increase the amount of memory I can attribute to my image?  I use only 1 image currently.

  Loking at your vmware.log file, I see that you have a section "DEFAULT USER" including a "prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = line 1429". I believe that it is in conflict with the ' SITE HOST/DEFAULTS ' section which specifies "prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = 2297".

  The ' HOST/SITE DEFAULTS' config.ini is the traditional config.ini file that people recommend that you edit.  On XP, it should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini

  I can't tell you exactly where the file config.ini 'DEFAULT USER' is located on Windows XP as I am running Vista.  I would start by looking under C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini to see if this file exists.  Or you can search your hard drive a config.ini file that contains the 'prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = 1429"line.

  I would recommend not not using the "DEFAULT USER" config.ini file at all.  In fact, on a default installation of Workstation 6.5 this config.ini file does exist.  I would recommend so transfer config.ini 'DEFAULT USER' settings to the "HOST/SITE DEFAULTS' config.ini and then delete the file config.ini 'DEFAULT USER '.

  After this is done, try again and let us know if things work better.

• I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

  As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

  I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
  -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
  -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
  -Select Windows Virtual PC
  -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
  -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
  -Select share >
  -Select the homegroup (read/write)

  -Minimized open Virtual PC
  -Select my computer
  Windows 7 disks will be under other

  I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

• How to connect 2 physical computers and 2 virtual machines?

  Hello!

  This is my first time in the forum and I would like to ask about the network configuration for an installation of 2 physical machines and 2 virtual machines. Each physical computer has a virtual machine (all operating systems is Windows 7 or 8). I don't have a level of advanced network management, but I would like to ask how to resolve a case of example of this configuration? I was wondering for communication between machines and communication examining between 1 machine with the other 3.

  Thanks in advance! If someone has already asked this, please tell me the reference.

  Welcome to the community,

  VMware Player offers 3 configuration settings, bridged, NAT as well under the name Host-Only network. Host-Only can be used if the virtual machine does not require a connection with the exception of the other virtual machines and the host network. NAT is typically used if the virtual machine requires network access, but didn't need to be accessible to the outside. In your case, the possibility of using is connected by a bridge, which will connect seamlessly the virtual machine to the physical network.

• USB HDD as a data store and storage of VMS and new virtual machines

  I have a server Esxi 4.1 with 1 TB RAID 5 storage and 3 virtual machines. The storage is full and no space for another HARD disk, so my question is: would it be possible to use a USB HDD as a data store and could be included as a storage for new virtual machines or the VM? If so, could someone let me know how to do it because I'm not able to detect the HARD disk on the host itself.

  No, it is not possible to use a USB drive as a data store.

• Start and stop Virtual Machines with the system

  Hello

  In a server cluster @vcenter HA/DRS 5.1, I enabled start and stop virtual machines with the system option but after I checked two days later, he is off again somehow. What makes this option off? I had a power failure in the datacenter. vCenter server has not been upward. I started all of the ESXi servers manually then went all VMs account is declining. I want that they start automatically when server ESXi upward.

  Thanks in advance,

  Thank you. This option is more valid than if the hosts are part of an HA Cluster license. I suspect that you configured through the traditional vSphere Client and that it is a bug with this client. If you try with the new vSphere Web Client, you will find a notice that it is disabled and there is no button "Edit".

• Disable communication between the host and the virtual machine

  I have VM Server 2.0 and one of the virtual machines has the same name as the server and even if the virtual computer is connected to the host only network it generates the Windows error message: duplicate names exist on the network.

  is there a way to disable communication between the host and the virtual machines? I just need a virtual network that is isolated from my network complete and host also.

  Thank you.

  The GUI Server2 is not to choose the other unused vmnets.  Then edit your file VMX use a different vmnet of 0, 1 or 8.  (which are bridged, host-only and NAT)

  Thus, for example, if your VMX has a line that says:

  Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet0.

  change to:

  Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet2.

  (This assumes that you have not used the network Editor to fill the vmnet2 either).

• Blue screen at the start of WinSrv2008r2 recovered from the backup of windows virtual machine image

  Hello

  At first, everything seems fine:

  -to create the new virtual machine

  -startup disc for instalation of Windows Server 2008 on this VM

  -Select "Repair system" and point the backup image file (full backup - made with standard Windows backup tool)

  -system recovered successfully.

  But then, when the system restart recovered fresh - start start Windows normally - and suddenly it is blue screen with the error 0x0000007b

  IMHO, this first initiated boot of the recovered system trying to twist something in the special part of the disc and he cannot (because it's a virtual disk?)

  Is it possible to recover the system windows image file system server to virtual classic?

  Thanks in advance for all voice :-)

  Greetings,

  RA

  Welcome to the community,

  the error message is related to the controller to start the virtual machine, which is different from the original system, and its drivers are not loaded in Windows. What you try, it is to use the free VMware Converter and run the option "Set up the Machine", which should inject the necessary drivers in the virtual machine. Before doing this, please make sure that the Windows 2008 virtual machine has the default "LSI Logic SAS' controller configured in its settings.

• creation of 2 or more than 1 vdisk in a virtual machine image

  Nice day

  I use esxi 4.0.  I want to install a vm image 07 Exchange but I need 2 discs for newspapers and transitions can go on the second disc. So basically there is a c: drive system and a data d: drive.  Is it possible to configure 2 vdisks to the image, as is recommended for this exchange of application. If possible advice?, thanks is advanced.

• From a virtual machine Image

  I had someone else make a VMware image for me using a version of ESX.  I'm able to add the virtual machine to my inventory in ESXi 3.5, but when I start the VM I get an error on the hard disk.  When I open the settings and try and view the settings of the HDD, I get an error there is unexpected values.  I removed the HD and when I try to add this ESX does not show the file, even if it's a hard.

  Any ideas on how to get this virtual machine to begin?

  My guess is that the virtual machine has been built on a SCSI machine and my machine using SATA disks.

  As you can see the vmdk file is in the wrong format.

  Use the vmkfstools-i OLD.vmdk NEW.vmdk command

  Remove the virtual hardware and the new floppy disk.
