Service mgmt-vmware restart causes the virtual machine downtime

• service mgmt-vmware restart

  We need regularly to restart the management console service of the following on the command line

  Service mgmt-vmware restart

  Before that, I checked that virtual machines are not configured to automatically put in power when this command is executed (by entering the virtual center server and clicking ESX Server, and then click configuration/VirtualMachine start stop and check that it is disabled)

  I don't want that to carry out the VMs and ESX Server - is there anything else I need to check?

  I read one thread that says THAT HA should be disabled? Is this correct?

• 'service mgmt-vmware restart' in an installation script.

  Hello

  like many propably you do, I do 'service mgmt-vmware restart' in a script installation.

  I need this because I want to use vmware-vim-cmd ommands.

  When the mgmt-vmware restart 'service' is executed, the complete installation stops and is right there.

  When I do a "service mgmt-vmware restart' manully of a session SSH, no problems.

  When I do a "service mgmt-vmware restart' to a console session (HP Iloé) the problem becomes clearer.

  During the restart, the screen moves the "to open a session to the ESX Server...". Press ALT - F1 etc."- screen

  When I press ALT - F1 I re - enter my session again and see the result of the command "service mgmt-vmware restart '.

  But clearly it's killing my script because it cannot continue.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  BTW: ESX 3.5 U3

  Thank you and best regards,

  Harold

  Other users I know orders vmkernel put in a file to run at startup and not during the kickstart himself.  Put all your commands in a script and have /etc/rc.local run at startup and then remove the rc.local.

• 7 - fusion '3D Acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'

  Hello

  I installed the free Fusion 7 trial this week on my iMac and subsequently installed Windows 8.

  The resolution of the screen under Windows is very low compared to the Mac OS.

  In addition, I have the warning message in the Windows display settings:

  '3D acceleration requires an update of the VMware tools in the Virtual Machine'

  I also note that the display driver in Windows is the display driver database with Microsoft.

  A few weeks ago I installed version 6 of Fusion and it worked very well.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  John.

  Take a look at the installation and the use of the VMware tools and more spicifically to manually install or upgrade VMware Tools in a Windows Virtual Machine.

  If by chance, VMware Fusion is not properly mounting image VMware Tools windows.iso file then you have to do it manually.  It is located in "/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/isoimages/windows.iso" and will have to be copied, not moved, in a location that is accessible out of the bundle of VMware Fusion.app as the office.  If you need to do this, you can right click on the bundle of VMware Fusion.app see the content of the selection box and access its location to copy.  To assign the windows.iso on the CD/DVD image, take a look at: Connect and Set Up a CD/DVD Drive

• schedule a restart of the virtual machine

  Is it possible to set up a schedule a reboot for VM of CR or in any other way?

  For restarts of the annex, it is best to do so within the guest and do not force a reboot of the VCenter.

  For one the VCenter will signal just the tools to do it, but the tools do always not react if the VM cared, but if you set the prompt to reboot using the Manager tasks or something similar, you have more control over the process of restarting, like forcing users, waiting for a period of time to allow users to log out with elegance etc... If you just put the virtual machine restart, that's how he will be treated a reboot now, and no action is possible.

• Changing the settings of Cluster SWAP without the virtual machine downtime

  Hi all

  My question refers to the vSphere 5.0 version.

  I need to change the settings of my VMware Cluster swap file.

  It is set to "store the swap file in the data specified by the host store.

  I want to change it to "store the file in the same directory as the virtual machine.

  Can I do this without the VM downtime?

  Kind regards

  Martin

  You can change the setting in the cluster without affecting your running virtual machines, but virtual machines will not use this new setting until they have been rolled power.

• Connect to a service running on the Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I installed the server virtual computer on a Windows Vista-based computer. I have created a virtual machine and configured the Windows XP operating system and certain services is installed.

  I can't do a ping to the host Vista the XP virtual machine. But I'm not able to ping for the service that is running on the Virtual Machine host to Vista XP. I have configured the virtual machine to run on the HostOnly network.

  What could be the problem/fix?

  Kind regards

  Knockaert C

  If you are pinging by IP address then it work should absolutely check that the Windows Firewall in XP guest does not prevent the ICMP packets that is located on the tab 'Advanced' the Firewall Control Panel applet. No changes to host files is required. What type of network you choose - bridged, host only or NAT. If fulfilled, VMware is fill protocol running on this NETWORK card in the home? If one of the other two, is their virtual network adapters (VMnet *) in the active host and IP associated with them?

• How to install vmware tools in a virtual machine running in the drive on an Ubuntu host?

  I have a host of Ubuntu (Ubuntu LTS 14.04.2)

  I have a virtual of Fedora (4.0.4 - 301.fc22.x86_64) and I would like to install vmware tools in the virtual machine.

  When I select the player VirtualMachine-> reinstall VMware Tools...

  I get a prompt in a box on the screen.  It is said:

  The following software are available for download:

  VMware Tools for Linux version 9.9.3

  What do you do?

  X Cancel |  Download and install

  Of course I choose to download and install (kind of silly question - why I want to cancel?)

  So instead of download the tools I want to install, it says:

  Your permission is required to install an update to VMware.

  Please enter the root password to move forward.

  Password: __________

  not serious.  Now, he's looking for what root password?  The virtual machine or the host?

  I have try the virtual machine and it works-not "incorrect password... try again."

  ... well Ubuntu is not a root user.  So, I try the password for the user with root privileges

  "incorrect password... try again."

  Then, he does not.

  Not very satisfying.

  The instructions that I found in my research right you will say to take the step to obtain the Tools package then (well, nothing of the rest of it is important if the tools are not available to me).

  Suggestions?  Advice?

  The required password is for the host.

  A workaround of functions is "sudo su -" of ubuntu host, then start vmplayer from the root prompt.  You must browse the virtual machine since the user doesn't have a history of openness yet... but then there is no prompt asking for a password when you try to download the tools.

• 'Create a snapshot of the Virtual Machine' suspended the process - how to kill?

  I tried to rename a virtual machine when I received a message from VCenter that "another task is already underway."

  I did some research and found that the virtual machine, I am trying to rename is currently creating a snapshot of the Virtual Machine.  Or - at least the host thinks Yes.

  The snap was initiated by vpxuser about 20:00 in the night a few days - and is still ongoing.  I can't kill him since the VIC when it is directly attached to the host.

  Looking to my data warehouses - I don't see that he actually created the snap, because I see no 0000001 or something like that.   At this point, I don't like, I don't know why he even launched the snap in the first place.

  Is there a way I can kill that process with the help of the console?   It's hosted on vSphere 4.

• Correctly remove resources when the virtual machine is deleted

  Hello

  I've created a service plan to power off the virtual machine and delete the vcenter.  The workflow works very well, but apparently not released the vRA resources.

  Then he said: the virtual machine has actually deleted vsphere, but since the vRA, Managed administration portal machines, I found the virtual machine that I removed from the service by using the mentioned service blue print now appears as "missing."

  
  My question is how to downgrade the machine virtual and also removed its resources reserved correctly?

  Thank you

  Jimmy

  Hi, Jimmy - I met the same problem recently and did the following:

  1. download the VC:VirtualMachine object.  This can be done in several ways, but in my particular case, I use the com.vmware.library.vc.vm.getAllVMsMatchingRegexp module.

  2. get the VCAC:VirtualMachine of the object to VC:VirtualMachine object.  Still, there are different ways to do this.  I created a getVCACVm action, which takes a #1 VC:VirtualMachine object:

  var vCACVm = null;

  var uuid = vcVM.config.instanceUuid;

  var vCACVms = Server.findAllForType ("vCAC:VirtualMachine", "VMUniqueID eq '" + uuid + "'");

  If (vCACVms.length == 1)

  vCACVm = vCACVms [0];

  Return vCACVm;

  3. delete the VCAC:VirtualMachine entity.  You can use the com.vmware.library.vcac.deleteEntity module to handle this.

  KEEP IN MIND... This removes only the vCAC/vRA entity.  You should always turn off the virtual machine (if any, see: library/vCenter/Virtual Machine management/Power Management / power off the virtual machine and wait) and delete vcenter (see: vCenter/library/Virtual Machine management/Basic/remove virtual machine).  I do this before performing the three steps above.  He there maybe better, easier, faster, etc., ways to do it.  I hope this helps.

• The screen size of the virtual machine on Mac

  Hello... I'm under Fusion 3 on Mac OS 10.5.8. After installation of Fusion 3 (upgrade to v.2), I can't make the size of the Windows XP machine to adjust to the dimensions of the screen of my Macbook Pro or my HP screen more. I used (in Fusion 2) to be able to just drag the screen by the corner to fill the size of the screen but the screen Windows stop now about 1/2 inch to reach the edges. It can be lived with, but I would like to recover my old screen size, if anyone has a suggestion.  Thanks much for any help. (P.S... I prefer to use single window on the unit or full-screen view.)

  Quite often a facility 'Edit' and or 'Repair' of VMware Tools will not fix the problem even if one might think of these names should be, it is always best to completely uninstall/reinstall VMware Tools when related problems of VMware Tools.  Then, go to add/remove programs in Control Panel in Windows guest operating system and uninstall VMware Tools and then after that it restarts to install VMware Tools in the Virtual Machine menu.  If this is not set then uninstall/reinstall VMware Fusion and note that this does not remove the virtual machines if.

• Mgmt-vmware restart-> "Host Agent Watchdog" has no!

  Hi all

  I had the problem that an ESX Server was red and I couldn't control this vCenter ESX host more.

  I did the following things:

  ps - ef | grep vmware - pass

  Kill - 9 & lt; ID of process & gt;

  service mgmt-vmware restart

  now, I've seen the following thing:

  Stopping VMware ESX Server management services:

  VMware ESX Server Host Agent Watchdog VMware ESX Server Host Agent

  Starting VMware ESX Server management services:

  VMware ESX Server Host Agent is already running

  Availability report startup (background)

  I would like to manage my VM in the vCenter, but for the moment I could not do that...

  Any ideas? Workarrounds?

  OK, enter a start, look at your var/log/vmware/hostd.log.  How far does go?  You can attach to a post as well.
