Snapshots fail with "a general error has occurred:

All of a sudden in the last few days, we cannot take snapshots on a handful of our VMs. trying to do so gets to about 90% and finally fails with "a general error has occurred:

Ive done some research and every result I found that included this error had something after the "has occurred."

Any thoughts on how to get more information on this or it can be the cause?

Thank you!

> Regarding CD-ROM, depending on the vSphere client, it is not currently connected:

That's right, but it seems that there is a problem with the location of the ISO file, so please set to "Client" CD-ROM drive just for this spread as possible a problem.

  • General error has occurred while trying to run the initial Setup Wizard

    Anyone have advice on the implementation of vCOPS?  I have deployed the ovf, use a Pool of IP and configure static ip addresses, I get to the login page (https://< IP > / admin) and when running the Setup Wizard initial on the front page of details of vCenter Server I get a message "General error has occurred", which does not allow me to go further.  Now, I closed the browser to try again and I get a "Virtual Appliance Repair" screen that also fails with a general error has occurred.  Can anyone help solve this?

    Looks like you had a communication problem between two virtual machines.

    When you created the IP pool leave you this option disabled?  Also, you associate it with the same network that the virtual machines are connected?

  • A computer record virtual using the VI Toolkit gets "a general error has occurred: invalid error" error.

    Hello

    I am a relative to the VI Toolkit novice so apologies if I ask you something ridiculous.

    I am trying to save a virtual machine using the VI Toolkit, but get the error "a general error has occurred: failure of ' (seen in the VI Client) when the virtual machine must be connected to the host. I use Registervm_task to perform this task.

    Here is the code:

    -


    to connect-VIServer MyVIServer

    http://Reflection.Assembly: LoadWithPartialName ("vmware.vim")

    $clus_name = "MY_CLUSTER".

    $folder_name = "DR".

    $esxcsv = import-csv «.\esx-hosts.csv.

    $vmcsv = import-csv «.\vm-list.csv.

    $dr_folder = get-view-file-filter viewtype @{"name" = $folder_name}

    $clus = get-view - viewtype ClusterComputeResource-filter @{"name" = $clus_name}

    foreach ($vm to $vmcsv)

    {

    + $dr_folder. RegisterVM_task($vm.) PATH, $vm. VM, $false, $clus. ResourcePool, $null) +.

    }

    If I look in the 'tasks and events' VI, I see the following events:

    'Machine virtual myvm is connected' and then a few seconds later "Creating myserver on the host myhost.myfqdn.net in my data center"

    I can join the virtual machine manually via the VI Client and confirmed the account that I'm using has permissions.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

    Kind regards

    First of all, make sure that the com port is listed in MAX and it really belongs to your instrument (unplug the USB cable and see if the port goes away). Then run the connectioninit function.

    SO safe to say something with this server. I stop all unnecessary services, is going to run a chkdsk now

    any ideas o respected gurus in the VM world?

    Thanks in advance!

    Your problems are more than one (bootable) partition active. Leave that one active partition on the source (on all the disks to be converted) computer, and then try again. HTH

  • vCenter esx 5.5 - consolidate the snapshot fails with an error occurred by consolidating the discs: msg.snapshot.error - NOTFOUND?

    I don't know why is this error?

    I got an error that the virtual disk space was low tool and my vm has been automatically turned off.  I scoured the data store and I saw old clichés that were very important which could be removed.

    I went into the Snapshot Manager and has tried deleting them and started getting the error msg.snapshot.error - NOTFOUND.

    The clichés that I deleted since the Snapshot Manager always appear when I browse the data store, but are locked.

    I really need to be able to consolidate these pictures in the parent company.  100 GB free on the store of data right now.

    If I try to take a new snapshot it fails and says: an error has occurred when taking a snapshot: msg.disklib.OPENPARENT.

    I also noticed after the fact that my hard drive is pointing to the most recent snapshot rather than to the parent.

    I think if I edit the .vmx file and change it so that it points to the parent would be the load, but then I will not lose the clichés?

    I like to keep at least the most recent roll in parent company snapshot.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Erin

    Hello!

    Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, a part of the problem is that the data store was running out of space.  If I didn't have space or time to try a clone.

    I did a reboot and after that has been able to update the CID to get the right string after I changed the hard drive to point to the base file, power, created a snapshot, turned off and pointed to the hard drive in the last snapshot.

    But there was a corrupt, one in the list since my VM corrupted after all the snapshots consolidated (+ 6 hours later).

    I didn't have a lot of time to continue to troubleshoot or try a clone on another virtual server, we have little space so I started from scratch.

    Fortunately, I discovered that my backups of the data have been very well, I so reinstalled Windows and started from scratch.

    Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Hope this helps someone else because I just watched as he went to work, and I don't know if a clone would have gotten it going or not.

  • Use an existing drive - failed with the General system error

    Hello

    I have a 5.0 esx host. as soon as I created a virtual machine and installed an operating system.

    Now, I want to have another exact copy of this virtual machine.

    what I've done is therefore:

    • copied hard and flat-vmdk vm1 files in another data store.
    • in the Wizard "Select a disk" has created a new vm2 and chose to use the existing virtual drive (chose the path where I copied the vmdk files).
    • When I try to turn on the vm2, it fails with "does not illuminate: General error has occurred."

    What Miss me in the configuration.

    Please note that I have so not vcenter server cannot use cloning option.

    Thank you.

    You will find may be easier to use the functionality to export the OVF template and deploy OVF model in the vSphere Client. Export the virtual computer off and when you deploy the same VM you can rename and choose the destination data store. The configuration will be supported and then you can customize just the required guest OS.

  • Error - Sorry, a serious error has occurred for the installation of the game Command and Conquer Generals.

    Original title: Command and Conquer Generals error? Some one care to help?

    So now I'm a little disappointed in how things are going right now.

    I had Command and Conquer Generals before and I used to read. Bug of the game problems are forcing me to remove it. To make things worse, my PC has been infected with malware/spyware that sneak their way inside my C & C Generals App. I did a full scan using Spy Bot Search & Destroy alongside with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

    Then, I tried to re - download and installed a CLEAN one. However, when it loads the classic C & C Splash Screen(the loading page that appears before the game turns into a full screen app), another windows appears and displays this:

    "TECHNICAL PROBLEMS".
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred."

    After the application closes, and happens whenever I start the game.

    Can someone help me?

    I don't know what's happened since she was working before.

    If you have access to a library and a flash drive, you can download Microsoft Security Essentials or any other antivirus disk analysis software and then install on your computer even if you do not have access to the internet.
    This will help make sure that you have cleaned your computer properly.

    A system restore back to a point in time so if you have installed all new programs since the date of the restoration of the system, you won't have any more of these programs installed.

    I don't know any other software in system restore, but you can do a search on the internet, however, they can only restore from when their software is installed.

  • An unknown error has occurred during playback of the video file. failed to connect to the server of dynamic links

    I recently bought a drone DJI Phantom 3 kind have been treatment of videos more than usual and not have not had any problems. I use Lightroom for cataloging movies and I use the first to change.

    Since yesterday, I was not able to import any movie that I get the following error

    an unknown error has occurred during playback of the video file. failed to connect to the server of dynamic links

    2015-10-17_23-47-56.jpg

    Initially, I thought that it was due to a spectacular crash of drone (Physics isn't SHE!) who corrupted the file that was being logged, m ais I can now no longer import any movie to Lightroom.


    I tried the following

    1. a different memory with a new registration card

    2 removing and re - import an old movie

    3. to remove and re-import and old movie created by another camera

    4. to remove Lightroom and rolling back to the previous version of LR CC (CC 2015 [1014445])-had the advantage of getting rid of the annoying new import dialog screen. -

    5. upgrade to El Capitan to see if maybe OSX update may help.


    None of them had no effect, can anyone help?
