• ZPrint accident of process before starting the virtual machine

  I see the following messages in system.log everytime my Windows VM starts. These accidents zprint apparently never happened before today. There is no previous accident for zprint report. The messages below always repeat 3 times before other messages on VM, commissioning.

  09/02/15 21:20:33... Report of incidents ReportCrash [7538] advice for zprint processes [7537]

  09/02/15 21:20:33... ReportCrash [7538] error saved crashreport to /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/zprint_2015-02-09-212033_...crash using uid: gid 0: 0, euid: egid 0: 0

  Extract from the report of crash:

  Exception type: EXC_ARITHMETIC (SIGFPE)

  Exception codes: EXC_I386_DIV (division by zero)

  Why the merger issues the command zprint? If she has always done so before, why is zprint now blocking?

  (If I run the terminal zprint command without specifying the name of the area it blocks the same way.)

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Some things that I did today that might be important:

  My Mac Pro locked up while I was running Firefox (open Youtube and Yahoo pages).  I pushed the power button / stop. The virtual Windows machine was running at the time.

  After restarting the Mac Pro, when I tried to start the virtual machine, I got the message: "... vmdk has one or more internal errors that cannot be repaired. The only option is to restore from a backup copy of this disk... »

  So I renamed the corrupt VM bundle, then drag-and - drop copied all of the virtual machine to a backup volume.

  When I started the virtual machine restored, I noticed the crash zprint above messages.

  Thank you!

  OS X 10.5.8, Fusion 3.1.4

  Fusion uses zprint to internal information of the kernel which are very difficult to obtain by other means.

  Given how long it has been since OS X 10.5.8 or Fusion 3.1.4 were changed, either something has been corrupted or something has changed in the system environment for that to happen early.  I can't find any other references to zprint triggering a SIGFPE anywhere else on the Internet...

  If you do not already done, I highly recommend running disk utility and check (and possibly repair) the disks of your host before doing anything else.

  See you soon,.

• IP not set to start the virtual machine

  Environment: ESX 4 server, hosting VMware Studio 2.0 (final version), will deploy device created in the same ESX host.

  -

  ---

  I was not yet able to determine if my wait will not, but I expected that my VM would be marketing it would have an assigned IP address already if I finish the network settings section in the build settings. But when I start my VM, it starts with IP = 0.0.0.0.

  I'm going to network Type = static and by filling in all the details for the IP, mask subnet, gateway, DNS 1 and 2. It seems that they are used when the virtual machine is in 'construction' on the host, but I'm not entirely sure about this.

  In the OVF IP assignment settings, I tried selecting OVF environment, but have not set of OVF properties (I don't think that this should be mandatory if I am already addressing in the build settings).

  After construction, into my vSphere Client (ESX4), I chose the file & gt; Deploy the template OVF... & gt; Deploy from URL and paste the URL of the virtual machine built recently. I start the virtual machine and watch the console screen boot and load the operating system. IP address is never assigned and the console device is displayed with IP = 0.0.0.0.

  I then have to connect with the image, manually assign the IP settings and then everything works. I expect this happen at boot time so that my firstbootscript can take advantage of the assigned IP address.

  -

  ---

  Maybe I go about it the wrong way, but my usecase is as follows:

  Build a VM & gt; Distribute the VM on end user & gt;  end user deploys on ESX and chooses address IP & gt; end user boots VM for the first time & gt; firstbootscript runs automatically

  Am I missing something? Can I have different expectations about how IP assignment is supposed to work? I read about IP Pools, but this isn't an option in my vSphere Client.

  Property of the FVO is the best option to set an IP address.

  Long back for Linux OS, I have written a shell script to set the IP address and the hostname in firstboot Virginia you can try this for your going here is the link for the same thing.

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-10953

  In the OS from VMware Studio tab you can paste this script in the script firstboot.

  First of all, please run this script manually and then use it in VMware Studio firstboot.

• Unable to start the virtual machine after Migration - ESXi hosts

  Last night I wanted to move a virtual machine to a host of test to a production cluster.  All hosts (test and production) have shared access to the same LUN, so I usually am able to simply remove the virtual machines of the inventory in the test environment and add them to the production environment by accessing the .vmx on the data store file.  Two of the 3 hosts migrate perfectly and are running in the production environment.  However, the third server, while the migration starts.

  First he gave me errors that it was missing some files.  The only thing I did was different to rename the folder for the virtual machine on the data store.  It was called 'New Virtual Machine' for a reason, so I renamed it to "Antivirus."  However, something strange happened.  Instead of renaming the folder, it seems was created a new folder named "Antivirus" and the old folder 'New Virtual Machine' was still there.  In addition, the renamed folder 'Antivirus' had only SOME of the files needed.  So I just copied from the old folder in the folder "Antivirus" and he hung up the virtual disk of 20 GB file.  So I closed the VI client and checked the vdmk 20 GB folder and back this morning is in the folder with other files.  However, when I try to start the virtual machine, I get the "cannot access a file because it is locked" error message.

  I've done some detective and I noticed that in my second datastore where was the other folder vdmk, the file was now .40kB in size.  Looks like I've lost my other vdmk folder.  What happens here?

  It looks that the virtual machine was still running when you tried to change the name, so the old folder could not be renamed because of the lock. That's why a new folder has been created instead, and why your vm hung on the vmdk file until the lock has been released. Don't know what happened to the 2nd vmdk file, but the file vmware.log in virtual machine directory must have some info as to why does not start the virtual machine. If the 2nd vmdk is gone, this might be a reason.

• Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

  I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

  Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

  Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

• Unable to start the virtual machine after restoration

  Guests including Test host: ESXi 5.1.0.1065491

  Vm problem: 32-bit, Server 2003

  I use Veeam Backup & Restore 6.5 to back up my vm.  I always do a test restore to ensure that my backups are good.  I'm having a problem with a restore.  The 32-bit Server 2003 vm starts just fine on the main host it runs on.  All the vm are 64-bit except for one who is a 32-bit Server 2003 vm.  Restoring the machine virtual and implemented on a host except the 32-Bit vm Server 2003 test.  After restoration and trying power to the top, I get the following error:

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Turn on VPCM module has failed.

  Viewed performance counters require version 3 or greater of architectural performance monitoring.

  Anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?

  TIA,

  Mux

  I assume you are using different hardware (CPUs, the BIOS settings) for VMS restored!

  The virtual machine has VPCM enabled, which causes the problem. You can either disable it in vSphere Web Client (you can do this in the vSphere Client Windows), or directly modify the .vmx VM by setting vpmc.enable to "FALSE".

  For how toggle this setting in the Web Client see allow virtual in the Web Client vSphere CPU Performance counters. If you want to edit the .vmx file manually, you need to delete/re-add the VM from the inventory or recharge (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043)

• Cannot start the virtual machine in a HA cluster

  I installed a HA cluster with 2 hosts configured in it.

  I disabled the admission on the cluster control.

  Each host is a Dell Dimension 9150 with 2.8 GHz CPU and 2 GB of memory.

  I created a virtual machine on a host with 1 vCPU and 512 MB memory.

  However when I try to start the virtual machine, I see the task of 'Power on a virtual machine' fail with the status "the host has sufficient memory resources to satisfy the reserve."

  Why this is happening and how do after that?

  You have the minimum RAM required by ESX ESX 4.0.

  Add more RAM to play also some virtual machines.

• Trouble entering the Configuration Page of the BIOS to start the virtual machine by key pressing (F2).

  To start the virtual machine guest OS (Win XP), I want to enter BIOS, by key configuration page by pressing "F2", to change the order of boot options.

  But the initial startup if page flashes quickly, so that I don't get time to press 'F2', most of the time.

  The problem is exasperated because my press F2 is not taken initially without first mouse clicking, somehere in the start page.

  So the order of actions is

  b click the mouse on the settings window, so as he prepares to receive the keystrokes.

  (b) and press 'F2 '.

  Before these two actions are completed, pages flashes by so quickly.

  Anyone can suggest a quick and easy solution for this?

  concerning

  Note: don't know if it is the appropriate forum category.

  + I also not my button "Start a new Discussion" in the General category page? +

  Hello.

  You can manually edit the. VMX file to the virtual machine and add the following line:

  bios.bootDelay = "5000".

  for a period of 5 seconds.

  Good luck!

• Start the virtual machine and wait for WF, does not connect to the computer virtual for Vds (Windows 2008 R2)

  Hello

  See a strange problem with only a Windows 2008 R2 model. When you use the built-in function "Start VM and wait" workflow to start a virtual machine (after conversion from a template either manually, or through workflow) NIC of the virtual machine (I tried VMXNET3 and e1000 times) does not connect to the problem. Vds can be replicated in a different VCenter, so spreading the vds. I also created several models of Windows 2008 r2 and all have this problem.

  If the model is converted and started outside VRO, it gets an IP from and is connected to the VDS immediately

  Tried add/remove the NIC of the model

  Tried to move the comments on different hosts

  Tried to create a new template from scratch

  NOTE: Windows 2012 R2 doesn't have this problem in the same circles, the only constant is the Windows 2008 R2 being started by VRO.

  Anyone seen this before?

• Prevent VMware 12 office computer to always start the virtual machines using the full screen?

  I have Windows 10 with a 4 k monitor, and I want to display only virtual machines in a window of 1900 x 1200 (I need to see the other windows as well as the virtual machine).

  The problem is that since the upgrade from VMware 12, whenever I boot a new virtual machine, it always starts in mode full screen (3840 x 2160). Is there a way to prevent it from auto-cliquant the button "Enter full screen mode? He did not only VMware 10.

• Unable to start the virtual machine and snapshots are missing from snapshot Manager.

  Hello

  I'm new here in the VMWARE communities and I don't know if I'm posting this survey in the right place. I am currently using VMWARE Workstation 9. The issue I'm having is that I can not start my VM. The error that says:

  

  This is an overview of my settings:

  

  When I try to get a snapshot I can go back, I get this snapshot Manager screen:

  

  I checked the files on the directory of the virtual machine. The snapshot files are still there.

  I tried to solve the problem by editing the configuration of virtual machine file to use another vmdk. I got an error saying something about the parent and the child are not synchronized. Sorry I don't have a screenshot of that. I also tried to make a copy of one of the other VMDK and rename it to match with the name of the missing file. That also made me anywhere I tried looking on the net but I get answers to other vmware ESXi and vSphere products. So I don't know if they apply to my current situation.

  At this point, I'm hoping to recover my machine or at least be able to use snapshots. Please notify.

  I think that the restoration was the best way to solve this problem. I actually checked the different files, but it looks like I missed something. In any case, create snapshots with the virtual machine in a state engine is my personal preference. It is not only to save disk space (since there is no need to preserve the current state of memory), but also provides a consistent state. As for the number of snapshots, you're always on the stop side, and if you are not having issue of performace with small changes you make you should be ok. In case there is a performance problem, you may consider to store the computer virtual on an SSD that will certainly help.

  Since the Center of Documentation of VMware Workstation 10

  To the premises of the virtual machines, you can take more than 100 snapshots for each linear process. For shared virtual computers and remote, you can take a maximum of 31 snapshots for each linear process.

  That's kinda our old friend is back.

  Two checklists

  1. check the version of the VM VGA driver, if that's the case, you must update the WDDM driver display driver.

  2. make sure that you use HW 7 and more.

• The delay between starting the virtual machine folder.

  I used some teams a lot in workstation 7, but in work stations, 8, they were replaced by folders.

  One of the great thing about the teams has been the ability to control the delay between the start of virtual machines.

  8 I can only find a general option under change preferences in my computer. I gues the only way around is the starting order of script or is there an option that I missed?

  According to an analysis last week of one of the developers of VMware, yes - scripting is the best answer.  He said that the old method of delay the start was not exactly accurate anyway and recommended script.

• VSphere Client limit "the virtual machine console.

  Hello

  I have done several searches and could not find anything relevant so I thought I'd post the question.

  I have ESXi 4.0 running with the installation of 3 virtual machines. I connect to the ESXi 4.0 via Client.exe vSphere hypervisor in windows.  I have a couple of people using the same account. For this reason, we have noticed that, if one of us is connected to a virtual machine, the other person can open the console of the virtual machine also and mess with what they do.  He warns that many people are watching the same virtual machine with the bar at the top of the screen indicating there are now 2 sessions of active console.

  My question is: is there a way to limit the client to only allow a connection active console both to a virtual machine?  That way if someone is already logged in / virtual console and a view, no one else can.

  I understand that I can create several vSphere client accounts with restrictions on the permission to have each account only have access to a specific virtual machine, but I would like to avoid that if possible. Everyone should have access to each virtual machine... but not at the same time...

  Perhaps there is a configuration file (or the customer's option) to limit connections of the console to one (I guess that there is a limit somewhere?).  I found there is a "VpxClient.exe.config", but it doesn't look like this kind of information can be changed here?  If this is something that is encoded in the software I will drop it, but I thought I don't know if I asked

  Thanks for your time to answer this question,

  by default, it is set as 25, but that can be changed.  However, it is on a customer by customer basis, so as far as I know, there is no comprehensive way to do this.

  In your client - mounting - settings of the client
