• Web client to modify the virtual machine settings

  We have several VMware environments that I help manage. So that we can train the junior members on the use of VMware, we have a few stand-alone hosts running v5.5u1.

  One of my colleagues copied a VM built with 10 Workstation to this host and received an error message on the VMDK becoming invalid. They tried to solve the problem by getting the host to upgrade the virtual machine. The virtual machine appears now as being "Version VM: vmx-10.

  The network for this virtual computer is set on connects don't not to put under tension, so we have no network on this virtual machine. If we right-click the virtual machine in vSphere Client and choose change settings, we receive this message:

  "You cannot use vSphere Client to change the settings of the virtual version 10 or higher machines.

  
  

  Use the vSphere Client Web to change the settings for this virtual machine".

  I know that the Web Client for stand-alone hosts was not available on 5.1 and I guess that's the same thing with 5.5. Is this correct? My attempts to try to load a page like this fails.

  Y at - there a command I can use 'downgrade' the version of virtual machine to any where I can change the settings with vSphere Client?

  It's not much you can do that and then get stuck without being able to change the settings for the virtual machine. Surely, they could detect if the host is connected to a vCenter and only enable this option if it is... or warn before you perform the upgrade!

  Thank you

  You can simply edit the vmx file and edit vmx - 10-vmx - 9.

  Hi all

  Happy to be part of the VMware community , announcing my first question to you all. After creation of the Virtual Machine in an Esxi host, when I try to picture mount the ISO for the guest operating system, option browse is not highlighted, why is this so, and is not for the administrator or root user, this problem happens for the normal user, happens because of all the rules of host-level?

• LPT1 in the hardware Manager, but not in the virtual machine settings. Parallel port software unable to find LPT. Windows 7, 64-bit and XP virtual

  Hallo,

  the forum is full of questions similar to mine and everything seems complete without useful answers some time early last year. I would like to give a try today to see if I get a solution.

  Have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and installed XP mode to be able to use the chip programming hardware (GALEP-III), which is connected via the Parallel Port. Downloaded XP mode later than yesterday (24.02.2011) Microsoft.

  In the XP box, the LPT1 port appears in the hardware Manager. But it does not appear in the settings for the XP mode. The Galep software starts just fine, but can't find the PARALLEL port.

  As written above, there are many people who have the same problem and seem to have gotten no solution. One piece of advice I found was to modify the VMC

  LPT1 (378 h-37Fh)

  1

  The above did not work. I think it was for a different version of XP-mode.

  Then there was advice on LPT need 378 h-37Fh. It's fine with my pc.

  Then, there was a Council to stop the 'Print Spool' Service on the host pc. I tried in vain.

  So, if there is a solution to my problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

  (Note: I'm not interested to connect a printer.) I have an IC programming material that can connect only through a parallel port. It also comes with a security dongle. GALEP III).

• How to use a virtual machine that requires more physical memory that I have?

  A colleague send me a Linux VM, he built on a machine with much more physical memory 4 GB I have in my Macbook Air.  When I started the virtual machine in Fusion, he said that the more physical memory virtual machine that I had and suggested that this would reduce the memory for the virtual machine to 3 GB.  I said OK and the machine started.  I did a lot of work in this virtual machine.  I suspended the VM because I needed to recover a portion of memory that he used for another application.

  When I try to start the virtual machine now, it says that it requires 4 GB of memory and that I should quit some applications or restart to free the memory required.  I tried both without success.

  Why the parameter / 3GB was not recorded when I suspended the VM?

  Given that I can't change the memory required for the virtual machine until it is properly closed and since then I can't stop the virtual machine without unsuspending it, I suspect that the VM is toast.

  Is it possible to recover the virtual machine?

  With VMware Fusion closed, you can remove the file from .vmss to to reset the VM to a shutdown state.  Note that whatever it is not recorded when he was suspended will be lost.

• To access the Sim Playbook on the other machine or virtual machine?

  I set up the Playbook dev environment in a virtual machine (MS Virtual PC if it is important) and encountered problems trying to connect to the Simulator, which is of course an another VM.  I guess there will be the same problems you are trying to run the Simulator on one machine other than the machine of dev, regardless of if the dev machine is a virtual machine.

  Anyway, I can't start the trainer inside my dev VM. I guess it would work, and in fact it doesn't (even if the error is a strange not found error). Instead I tried to run the SIM on the true operating system of the box.

  The machine has an IP address in the 192.168.0.X subnet and VM Dev has also received an IP address on the same subnet to the router. However, the IP of the SIM is a 192.168.153.X. I tried affecting 255.255.0.0 subnet mask right on the Dev of VM and it still does not work. I also couldn't find any way to change the network settings on the Simulator hoping to move it to the subnet 0.

  Has anyone got a configuration like this work? If so, there is advice on what config change?

  Bill

  I'm currently under this configuration with the development environment in a separate VM (Windows7 Enterprise) and the Simulator playbook in another virtual machine, both on the same machine.

  To make this work as well virtual machines had have their network in "Bridged" mode configuration

  To configure your virtual machine, assuming you are using VMware Player as I am, in the VMware Player menu bar, click on the tab drop-down 'Virtual Machine', select "Virtual Machine Settings... ».

  In the tab "Hardware", select the device of the "network card".

  Change the network connection to open and activate the option "reproduce the physical network connection state.

  Click OK and restart your virtual machine.

  Once this has been done for both, discover the IP address of the Simulator and notes that it has changed. This IP address allows to load your applications from the development of VM.

• Clone a Linux virtual machine

  Hi team,

  I created a clone for Linux vm, before you turn on the virtual machine what are the steps be taken to avoid conflicts. ?

  these steps won't work

  Click with the right button on vm - change sett - nic - remove.

  power on

  change ip and hostname through command - vi sysconfig /.

  Finally add nic to the virtual machine

  correct me I'm wrong.

  Thank you

  regarding remove vNIC, you don't have to do it.

  Just modify the virtual machine settings and deselect the checkbox 'Connect to food' (Hope you use automatic MAC generation, not manual)

  turn it on, change the host name, network settings etc... should be enough.

  If you cloned VM using vCenter server, then consider using the specification for customizing Manager automate for you.

• How do to activate 'VAPP Options' on an existing virtual machine, and then add the properties that will be passed down through the OVF - ENV. XML

  
  
  I'm trying to understand vSphere PowerCLI how to activate the "Options of VAPP" on an exsiting VM (in this case a model freshly cloned) then add properties and select cdrom of the FVO data access such as when the virtual machine is running the FVO - env.xml contains the properties in the CD-ROM drive.
  
  If I use the vSphere client and open the virtual machine settings and click on the tab 'Options' and then select "Options of VAPP" and change the setting to "Enabled" and then select 'VAPP-> Advanced Options' and click on the button 'Properties' on the right, I can add the properties and then I can change them vsphere PowerCLI, but given that these actions are not retained if I clone the virtual machine I need a way to put these in place of vSphere PowerCLI without using the vSphere client to do.
  
  Thanks in advance for the help!
  
  

  Mike

  You can use the vSphere API to activate the 'Options of VAPP"on an existing virtual machine, and set properties. For example:

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.VmConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec [] (1)

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] .operation = 'Add '.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertyInfo .info

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.key = 0

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.classId = "Property1ClassID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.instanceId = "Property1InstanceID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.id = "Property_1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.category = "Property1Category".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.label = "property 1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.type = "string".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.userConfigurable = $true

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.defaultValue = "Property1DefaultValue".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.value = «»

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.description = "Property1Description".

• SCSI driver is missing in the virtual machine. Driver is missing in the provided website. Instructions on how to install the driver (once you find) are missing.

  I get the text following error encrypted every time that I boot Windows XP in VMWare Fusion, since I've upgraded to version 4.02 a few months ago.  So I upgraded to version 5.02 hoping the error would go, but he didn't.

  When I try to start it, it says "he has at least a virtual SCSI device installed on this virtual Windows XP computer.

  I tried to go to the useless link that is provided (http://vmware.com/info?id=43), but it takes me just for a general download for all VMWare products page.  Then I tried searching for "SCSI" but it does not have the driver, I'm supposedly dedicated research

  After doing a bit of searching around, I finally found a driver called "vmscsi - 1.2.0.4.flp ', I connect to my virtual floppy drive.  Once I did, my virtual machine wouldn't boot (I get the error "NTDLR is missing.)  I then unplugged the virtual floppy drive, and now my virtual machine starts again.  I then re-connected the drive floppy and discovered the following content:

• Can't get OS USB host for the installation of a new virtual machine

  I am trying to create my first VM in VSphere client. All my other machines have been migrated to Hyper-V machine. I created the machine but can't load of windows server 2003 r2 32 bit OS ISO. I tried several ways to no success.

  The virtual machine just says: operating system not found. The first way I tried was put the installation disc in the VSphere host and modify the virtual machine settings to point to the CD-ROM. It did not work.

  The second way, I tried was by clicking on the icon of the disk to the VM Console and choosing iso on the local disk. I then navigate to the iso file. When I did this it remains stuck in the connection. Even after I change this setting if I try to go back to the icon of the drive console he says always login no matter what I do on the parameters of the virtual machine. Can I stop it trying to connect?

  The third way, that I tried was to stick to a USB to the VSphere host. However, I can't understand how to assign the virtual machine to USB. I noticed that when I plug my USB key, it says USB configuration has changed in the events, but I do not see the USB drive as an option under storage.

  The fourth way that I tried was to use WINSCP for SFTP the ISO for the data store. When I do this need me in the root directory that has only about 100 MB of space on it. So it allows me to start the transfer of the iso and the error. How can I change this?

  I'm really frustrated about something which I think should be really easy. Any help is appreciated.

  You have access to vCenter?

  If so, this video shows how to download an ISO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6v8GsWJ9dc

  If you get your ISO on the data store that you can navigate to it through the client vSphere (console) to the virtual machine, do not forget to set the "connect on startup' or 'Connected' when you configure the virtual machine's CD drive.

  [Edit] Boot from USB can sometimes be a problem, if you need to boot from USB you can use a like Plop Boot Manager, it is an ISO standard, you can load into the virtual machine CD player. More info here: http://www.vladan.fr/great-tip-how-to-boot-from-usb-image-in-vmware-workstation/ ... It's for workstation, but it works for ESXi 5.0 as well.

• How to upgrade a virtual machine

  I am currently using VMWare Workstation 8 and I have a virtual machine for CENTOS 6.2.  I now upgrade ISO CENTOS to 6.3 I want to upgrade to it.  This is why I want to start my new ISO virtual computer and use the built-in feature.  So, how to get my CENTOS VM to boot from my ISO 6.3?

  Thank you

  Open the virtual machine settings, set the ISO on the virtual CD drive and make sure 'connect to light' is checked. Once the virtual machine starts, press "ESC" once while you see the white bar in the startup screen (you must be fast) to get the boot selection screen, where you can choose to boot from the CD/DVD.

• How can I block sharing folders on a virtual machine?

  I have a virtual machine running Win7 and a WinXP running. I need to isolate the version of WinXP shared folders, because it is ruin an installation of Visual c++ + / Dark GDK.

  I WANT the VM Win7 to share files with my Mac. I don't WANT the WinXP VM to share folders. How can I do this? If I disconnect the network in the Windows XP machine folder, when I restart it, it pops up again.

  Can anyone help?

  Well, you could just stop the sharing folders in the Virtual Machine settings.
