  I have an AMD A10 processor

  VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine can be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X, and for that, you need VMware Fusion not VMware Player/Workstation (or use ESX/ESXi on Apple brand hardware) you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

• Help. The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine. WHY?

  Greetings.

  I have a 5.5 with an operating system Red Hat 5.10 ESXi environment. The OS worked fine until a few days ago. ESXi displays the error "the CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine. I Don t know why my server displays the error if my environment was OK. Could be a kernel problem? operating system problem?

  Ideas?

  Thanks for the help.

  Have a look here. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2000542

  Did you recently patch your VM? Looks like when the guest operating system runs the incorrect commands that it can have a deactivated processor.

• Failed to get the IP address of the virtual machine of win7 with bridge.

  

  Hi guys,.

  My VM is win7 in the workstation9 with network bridge. Sometimes I can't get IP from DHCP, but sometimes I am able to.

  And I don't really know what causes it? Please help me.

  Thank you

  This problem is solved. Click on modifier modify-> Virtual Network Editor, select connected by a bridge. Then check the Panel under the list, focusing on bridged-> gateway

  There are 3 options in the drop-down list (auto, vpn, physical network), automatic is the default, just to select the physical card. Then throw on your virtual machine,

  IP is back, the problem is solved.

  The host, I cannot ping the 192.168.0.2 which is the IP address of the Virtual Machine. Even in the Virtual Machine, I can not ping 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of the host. From what I read, the physical and the virtual machine were connected with a virtual switch. Am I wrong?

  Any advice?

  Your script seems to be ok.

  When the VMware tools are installed you can do a gracefull shutdown (Stop-VMGuest) within the guest where OS the obligation for the VMware tools.

  The next option is to stop the virtual machine (VM-Stop), with what would be the power button on a physical computer.

  No phasing out of the BONES and a potential risk on the corruption of the OS.

  With switch RunAsync that the cmdlet returns immediately, it will not wait until the underlying vSphere method is complete.

  The method will continue, but in the background.

  You should check these tasks to background (Get-task), to monitor the successful completion.

  To manage VMS in batches of 25 and wait 60 seconds between batches, you could do something like that

  $vms = get - VM

  $step = 25

  $start = 0

  for ($loop = 0; $loop - the ([math]: ceiling ($vms.)) Step Count / $)-1); $loop ++) {}

  I have now found a solution to my problem:

  Using the ESXi esxcli command to turn off a virtual machine

  The esxcli command can be used locally or remotely to turn off a virtual machine running on ESXi 5.x or later. For more information, see commands esxcli vm vSphere command-line Interface Reference.

  1. Open a console session where the esxcli is available, either in the shell of ESXi, vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) or where the vSphere command-line Interface (vCLI) is installed.
  2. The list of virtual classes, identified by world ID, UUID, display name and path to the .vmx configuration file by running this command:

     esxcli vm process list

  3. Turning off one of the virtual machines in the list by using this command:

     esxcli vm process kill --type= [soft,hard,force] --world-id= WorldNumber

     Notes:
     There are three ways of powering down. Soft is the most graceful, hard performing an immediate stop, and force should be used only as a last resort.

     Another power off of the syntax of the command is: esxcli vm process kill [ soft, hard, force] t w WorldNumber

  Repeat step 2 and confirm that the virtual machine is no longer running

  This is the green arrow disappear and I can now delete my virtual machine.

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another ESXi

  Hi all

  Quick question, if I wanted to move a virtual machine hosted on a server ESXi ESXi server what is the easiest way? Should I use the converter to do?

  Thank you

  ESXi 4.1 (Vsphere Hypervisor)

  So have free Vmware Vsphere Client

  In this case, the options are:

  • Standalone converter
  • Browser data store (download and transfer files)
  • SCP or FastSCP and then add the virtual machine to inventory with the browser data store

• How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

  Hello

  In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

  I use PropertyCollector for details.

  But in the following cases

  1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

  2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

  I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

  To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

  rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

  -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

  I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

  Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

  Thank you

  Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

  When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

• Assign a static IP address via DHCP based on the Mac address of the virtual machine

  Hi all

  It is especially a feature request, as I'm sure that it is not currently possible to do what I want to do...

  I would like to be able to assign static IP addresses to VM without having to manually configure the network settings of the virtual machine directly. I want to be able to do it from the DHCP settings in the virtual network Editor.

  Most of the routers DHCP allow this. They give an IP address through DHCP based on the MAC address of the client. This means that the customer is concerned that he receives a regular IP DHCP address, but it is never change.

  DHCP is the default option for all OS this makes things much easier to manage, as IP addresses is assigned in the same way, in one place for all DHCP clients, regardless of the client operating system, and without having to manually keep track of which the IP is assigned to which customers etc..

  Also AFAIK at least for Ubuntu, you cannot assign a static IP address without having to also statically assign to the DNS server. It is only the IP address I need to be static, so I prefer not to have to worry about manually assign the DNS server.

  I can just kind of fudge making the really long DHCP lease duration, but the maximum is 99 days only, so finally addresses are going to change, that would mean a whole bunch of reconfiguration for VM services, etc..

  Does anyone know if the workstation 9 has this ability? I am currently on version 8, but I would probably upgrade this function only if she can do it.

  If there is no way to do what I want to directly through the virtual network Editor, can anyone recommend a way to do this, perhaps using Guest only network and then, by running a kind of services to the 3rd party NAT and DHCP on the host?

  Thank you

  Eugene

  There is no GUI option to get what you are looking for, but you can do it manually. Please take a look at Re: assign a static IP to guest with network adapter NAT Virt? where I posted an example.

• need to configure a connection wireless network with static IP address to make a panasonic wireless display of work on the virtual machine

  Hi, I'm new to macs and Fusion. I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid-2009, running 10.5.7 and Fusion 2.0.5, running Win XP Pro SP3 as the virtual machine (not in a bootcamp partition separate). I added a second network as a bridged network adapter (first one is set to NAT). I'm trying to connect my wireless panasonic (802 11b) to the virtual machine display, as I do on my old sony PC. Normally, I turn on the wireless on the PC, find the network wireless in Win XP and configure my SSID and necessary of static IP address and configure the NIC to search only ad-hoc connections (non-infrastructure). I also turn off the firewall so that it can work. There is a panasonic program runs on the PC (which I also installed on the virtual machine) makes it all happen once I have the connection. So the place that seems to be stuck, it's that I can't find a wireless to configure network adapter since--what the VM is a NA standard, so there is no place to specify the SSID, ad-hoc and disable the WEP key. Someone has ideas how to go beyond my current state?

  In addition, the panasonic only works at 800 x 600 for the display resolution, so it will automatically change the graphics settings. I guess that's not a problem on the VM, but thought I would ask in advance in case someone sees a problem with it.

  Thank you very much.

  Larry

  If the only way you can connect to the device is via WiFi, then you will need to provide your own WiFi USB network adapter to the virtual machine because Fusion presents only the network card Ethernet wired to the Virtual Machine, regardless of the host network adapter is the main map.

• Get the IP of the virtual machine and MAC

  Hello

  I'm trying to get the IP of the virtual machine and the MAC one of my data centers.

  When I run that the following script two things happen:

  1. I don't see a vm in the output of the csv file.

  2. when I send the output to the quick PowrCLI I see only a mac and one IP address for virtual machines with network cards.

  Script

  ---------

  $MV = Get-Data Center $DC | Get-vmhost | Get - VM

  {foreach ($VM to $VMs)

  $VMx = get-view $VM.ID

  $HW = $VMx.guest.net

  foreach ($dev to $HW)

  {

  foreach ($ip in $dev.ipaddress)

  {

  $dev | Select

  @{Name = 'Name'; {Expression = {$vm.name}}.

  @{Name = 'IP address'; Expression is {$ip}},

  @{Name = 'MAC'; {Expression = {$dev.macaddress}} |

  Export-CSV VM - IP - Info.csv - NoTypeInfo

  }

  }

  }

  My console output, tested on a virtual machine with two external network cards and an internal interface "dummy".

  You see the addresses expected in summary using vSphere Client VM?

  Oh sorry, I forgot the PS 3.0 requirement.

  You can put all the entries in a table and export all at the end of the script.

• IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

  I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

  Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

  I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

  Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

  Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

  Hello

  Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

  Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

  But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

  Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

  However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.
