ROM of the Virtual Machine is not supported

I have a VMware ESXi 4 environment where I'm currently under several SLES 11 virtual machines with FT.  I went to activate FT another, but when I try and enable it, I see this error:

-ERROR task-2477-vm-1033 - vim. VirtualMachine.createSecondary: vim.fault.VmConfigIncompatibleForFaultTolerance:

{(vim.fault.VmConfigIncompatibleForFaultTolerance)

dynamicType =,

MSG = 'Device 'Virtual machine ROM' is not supported.',

},

MSG = "Configuration of virtual machine for the no fault tolerance."

}

I looked around, but couldn't understand what he complains.  I compared the configuration to the other SLES11 VMs I have under my feet, but I don't see the difference.  Thank you!

Matt

Hello.

You have VMI or paravirtualization, activated in this guest SLES?  It is not supported with FT.

Good luck!

  • 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)

  • In opening the virtual machine: "could not find a peer valid to connect to" or "error of Transport (VMDB) - 32" / "-14" ""»

    Hello

    Since yesterday after a reboot of my host (DELL E6410, W7 SP1 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, 2x750GB SATA3 running WorkStation 9.0.2 Update Windows Update), I can't open my existing VM.

    I often get "can not find a valid peer to connect to" and sometime before: "Transport (VMDB) - 32 error: Pipe: reading is not'or'error of Transport (VMDB)"-14: fitting broke

    I worked for 2 years on this machine without a hitch, WS7 reclassification in WS9 without any problem.

    FYI: we have changed the domain 3 months ago, but it has never be a problem.

    I have google and search several Forum. So far, I tried to:

    -restart the service vmware-auth as an administrator

    -launch vmware.exe administrator

    stop/start the vmx86 service

    -uninstall / reboot / install Workstation.  3 times. First using uninstall from the Control Panel, then doing a / clean before installation and finally track down any file/reg entry.

    -HE asked if any group policy changes were made recently (like not allowing to run vmware.exe?)

    -Rename vmware.exe (logs I look similar to what is in this post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/331099?start=0 & tstart = 0 ... but no luck)

    -excluded vmware.exe in my AV (Microsoft ForeFront). Unfortunately, in that I'm not allowed disabled...

    -Open the virtual machine using the drive == > does not work either.

    This isn't a file corrupted in a virtual machine (even backup - 7zipped - don't work on my laptop... but the launch on the other).

    Even a newly created WM (boneless), unbootable! :-(

    *, BUT to BE NOTE *: if a virtual machine is created as a shared virtual machine, I can start the application locally remotely! And this same VM, if started (via the.vmx) does not work using Workstation GUI!

    I have attached 2 newspapers. Work a (vmware.log remotely) and the inactive (vmware-vmx - 4072.log thru WS GUI).

    Of after what I saw (and what little I understand), it's as if the CPU is not detected?

    The two newspapers have this line:

    FeatureCompat: EVC masks:

    but the non-working goes - we with

    Module CPUID initialization failed.

    While working it display information on CPU (hostCPUID name / family / type... etc...)

    Any idea is welcome.

    I'll answer me to my problem!

    A lot of research to this knowledge.

    In summary: don't mess with the processor affinity... or keep it in mind!

    Response to distinguish:

    I installed 6 months ago a small utility named prio (search for "PRI prnwatch"), because it can save the priority of a given process. What I did notice, is that it also save the processor affinity ! What happened: I probably changed the affinity once for a VM running to give greater priority to a 7zip archive process to complete more quickly (setting HT no core to 7zip and one - or 2? - HT core to VM). Everything works until the next reboot, where the CPU detection during * start EVERY * VM has been somewhat "damaged" leading to the wrong log message: failed initialization Module CPUID.

    This is the reason of *my* question. Perhaps it might help someone else?

    TIPS:

    For advanced people who do not want to check the processor affinity of each process in the Task Manager, you can try this Windows Powershell command (remember to launch PowerShell as an administrator):

    Get-Process | Format-Table-PriorityClass name, ProcessorAffinity property

    ProcessorAffinity column gives the number of representation of the authorized core, 1-bit by heart.

    15 = 1111 is all possible core (for a logical processor 4). Mine is 1 CPU with 2 core HT <=>4.

    LSB is the core lowest. So if you allow only core0 and core3 (1001) on a process, the number of ProcessorAffinity will be 9...

  • NPIV enabled on the virtual machine, but not seen in the comments

    Hello

    However, when I logged in the comments, I am not able to see the names of ports in

    / sys/Class/scsi_host/Host {n} / device / fc_host:host {n} / port_name

    Are there additional configuration on the side of the virtual machine to allow the WWNS within the guest?

  • AutoSave is slow when the virtual machine is not active

    When I actively use a Windows 2000 Server VM and AutoSave is triggered, it's very fast.  But if I did not use the virtual machine for a while, it takes some minutes and minutes.  If I'm trying to go back to the virtual machine, I have to wait indefinitely for the automatic backup complete.

    Is it possible to set the priority for the automatic backup feature?

    Are you talking about VMware Fusion AutoProtect feature, or something else (perhaps in the comments)? Offhand, it seems that when you have not used within a certain time, Fusion got paged out. Taking the automatic snapshot requires paging backward, which can take some time. You can test this theory by looking at activity monitor and looking at the pageout/publication numbers when you see an automatic preview slow.

    Pageouts and pageins are controlled by OS X and not something we have control over. Adding RAM to the Mac, it is more likely merger will stay in memory and avoid this situation.

  • With instant full VM LUN and now the virtual machine will not start or register

    Hello

    I have a case here, where we have a virtual machine that quickly filled the logic unit number and the snapshot is currently 110 GB. It is now available on the new LUN space, but the VM does not start and he was also addressed as 'unknown' in the viclient. I tried to cancel the registration and check-in again, but he refuses to register. It seems that the snapshot is damaged.

    Lars

    The problem (according to the newspaper) is AXAPTA_1-000001 - delta.vmdk no AXAPTA_1-000002 - delta.vmdk (the error on the second snapshot is probably because of the broken parent snapshot).

    The descriptors are ok, which means that the VMDK itself is broken.

    If you do not have a backup, you can try the following:

    -Copy the files in another data store

    -change the second snapshot descriptor to point to the basedisk as the parent

    -Try and mount the drive

    -If you're lucky, you should be able to recover at least some data of

    -If the disklib is complaining again then the two snapshots are broken - which is unlikely

    Depending on how old the second snapshot (the older one is better it is) the method above will not help.

  • Problem using cdromdisconnect.pl to check for the use of CD-ROM on the virtual machines

But when I run "datacenterlisting.pl - datacenter MyDC" there 'my.esx.host' very well. Am I missing something here? Why is the cdrom script not able to find hosts when other scripts have no problem?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    -monkeedu

    As far as I KNOW, there isn't a way to do a review on a MoRef, right on the property values.  You cannot, for example, match against a property value of the table.  You have to adapt your script logic.  Once you have your view of system host ($host), then you must use the vm ($host-> vm) property to get a list of Virtual Machines.

    You will probably need to change:

    my $host_moRef = $host->{mo_ref}{value};
    #######################################################################################
    #     Get all VMs that are currently running on that ESX Server
    #######################################################################################
    
    my $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => 'VirtualMachine', filter => {'runtime.host' => $host_moRef});
    my $numDevices = 0;
    foreach my $vm_view (@$vm_views) {
    

    TO:

    #######################################################################################
    #     Get all VMs that are currently running on that ESX Server
    #######################################################################################
    
    my $numDevices = 0;
    my $vm_view;
    foreach (@{$host->vm}) {
         $vm_view = Vim::get_view( mo_ref => $_ );
    

    There are some optimizations I can suggest to speed it up, but its probably better to work first.

  • Virtual machines do not get IP address from the DHCP server

    Hello! I just spend Xenserver to ESXi. Created a couple of virtual machines and none of them gets an IP address from our DHCP server (DHCP server is a physical PC), and instead, they get a number of internal 192.168.x.y allowing connection to the internet.

    Looks like a way to do this is to install a virtual machine that is a router, as M0n0wall, and route traffic to connect to the external network and finally to access internet. But this is not what I have to do.

    I need to have virtual machines that are server to get an IP reserved for our DHCP server, and then our local windows client should be able to access it directly.

    I searched on google and forums for this but I can't seem to find how to configure virtual machines to directly belong to our local network.

    I thought that VMware would have a simpler way to do so than XenServer, but I was stuck on this one day now and really frustrated as I get not before with this project, stuck on this little problem... sigh...

    Thanks for your help.

    GER.

    ESXi does not IP addresses to the virtual machines it host - if the virtual machines are not able to access your physical network than that of the thw two virtual machines acts as a DHCP server - now to the question of network - if you are not able to reach the virtual machines on the physical network or achieve fitness network virtual machines , then there is a problem with the physical connection to the ESXi host, possibly the configuration of the physical port that connects to the - is a way to test this theory to assign an IP address on the same network that the management port - if you are able to access the virtual machine, then you know that the problem is with the switch port.

  • List not updated virtual machines after the migration of the virtual machine to a different data store

    My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.

    Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.

    I migrate VM to a data to another store.

    The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.

    If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.

    I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.

    I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.

    How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?

    Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?

    Concerning

    Marius

    This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

    I can't do anything else until I get comments. Can anyone recommend a way to solve this problem?

    I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not...

    I agree

    Two a problem with the new drive.

    1. You get the error message comes from the basic disk with a different size than the disks of the snapshot.
    2. With a size of 256 GB, you will not be able to create snapshots of the disk (on ESXi prior to 5.0 with a block size of 1 MB)

    What you can try to do is to edit the file PJAEast - DL01_1.vmdk :

    • 536870912 VMFS 'PJAEast-DL01_1 - flat hard' RW--> RW 70943040 VMFS 'PJAEast-DL01_1 - flat hard. "
    • DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = "33418'-> ddb.geometry.cylinders = '4416.

    After that, I would recommend to clone the virtual disk to a new one, replace the virtual disk in the virtual machine settings and resize it to a maximum of 254GB (see "calculates the time system required by the snapshot files" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384)

  • Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

    When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

    The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

    It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

    I use folder2iso

    To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?
