Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

(1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

(2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

(3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

(5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

  • Hardware changes reported after moving from the virtual machine to a host of W7 W8 host.

    I tried to move a virtual machine with the guest OS Windows 8 used in the VMware Workstation 9.02

    my HP desktop with Intel core i7-2600 processor, running Windows 7

    to my Toshiba laptop with Intel core i7-4700MQ processor, running the latest version of Windows 8.

    I did something like that all the time with my old laptop with i7-2630QM running Windows 7.

    It turns out that something changes significantly when the host of the laptop operating system passes W7 to W8.

    After starting the virtual machine on my laptop W8, I clearly stated it had been MOVED and NOT copied.

    Unfortunately when I try to use one of the Office 2010 applications, I get a message that the change of
    HW has been detected, and that I must again request (purchase new license I guess).

    Can someone help me solve this problem. For me the time is important.

    I'm leaving for a business trip to 3 weeks and the old laptop is no longer appropriate.

    Hello

    It seems to be normal, because the changes to the hardware (RAM, CPU,...)

    may be a reason for reactivation of Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Office.

    I had such a situation, the upgrade of RAM.

    So if you have the license, activate it again.

    Hope has helped you.

  • 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.

    Hello, first of all sorry for my bad English, but ill try to explain myself as best I can.

    I like 2 months

    My problem is that when I start the laptop and go to the desktop theres a certain point that stop loading... and it gets freeze here until I have to reset manually... (I can go trough well safe mode).

    I don't know if that has soemthing to do with him... but I downloaded and install a new driver from nvidia website. After trying several days, I noticed that there were a few problems, and so I changed it again drivers from the Toshiba web page.

    Well 2 days this is well... I might do normally...

    OK, I decided to use the recovery tool fromToshiba, but the same problem happened while isntallin drivers se... I don't know if it was coincidence, but just after it install drivers from nividia it just stop working again... it froze again... and now it won't let me start with an account , because it gets has frozen afe mode, only I can access my laptop...

    one thing I tried was unisitallin the drivers nvidia in SafeMode... and try to start the laptop... it worked... or at leat is not trapped, but since I made the recovery of Toshiba it won't let me start the session.

    I have really no idea what could it be... the grpahic card?

    It looks like a card driver from nvidia.com graphci causes freezing. In addition, it is not recommended to only use not pre-tested by Toshiba driver. Toshiba drivers are modified to support protection against overheating. So, use only the drivers of Toshiba driver page.

  • Host virtual computer and Migration of data store

    I'm curious. I have an environment with Cisco UCS UC servers without them. Due to they are C-Series all storage is local for UC virtual machines run. I'll add some of the UCS C-Series servers and you want to move two of my current C-Series server CPU virtual machines to the new. I have the license Enterprise Plus 4.1 for all servers and execution of vCenter. The migration will be basicall move local data store to store local data as well under the name from host to host. My plan is to turn off the virtual machines and migrate both host and the data store at the same time. I have groups of ports built as follows:

    Port of VMKernerl groups:

    -Storage (for future shared storage)

    -vMotion

    -PI

    -ESXi Mgmt

    Virtual machine:

    -CPU VMS

    -Machines virtual server

    My overall question is during this migration takes place this network (or a group of Port) will be the traffic go anywhere for the move? My guess is because it is the local storage, it will use the Mgmt. ESXi

    Thank you!

    If the virtual machine will be moved to store Local data to store common data shared through 2 esxi host, then the storage shared for local storage.

    So this will be the case through network vMotion and not via the management network.

    But you can enable vmotion on management network itself. If you have configured like this then yes communication will be via the management via vmotion network IPkerenel active network.

  • License of moving from the old computer to new computer

    Hello

    How can I do this? Just uninstall the old and download it again?

    If so, I need to some license information-, I guess. But when I go to my account page and look at my products it is empty. That is my products are not registered. But obviously, I produced (creative cloud, PS) otherwise I would not be able to access the page of accounts in the first place...

    Concerning

    Adobe products must be installed by using installation files - they cannot be moved between machines.  Your license allows installation enabled on both machines so there is no need to do anything on the original, except if you wish to cancel the ability to work with her.

  • Driver problem after moving from Vista to Windows XP

    Hello

    Can anyone advise on where to find the drivers?

    I have a laptop Inspiron 640 m.  It has been upgraded to Vista (which I absolutely hated) by Dell, so I took it upon myself to reinstall Windows XP.  Needless to say I now have terrible problems with drivers.

    I get the 'Assistant new hardware detected' for the following drivers;

    -Ethernet controller

    -network controller

    -video controller (vga compatiable)

    -sm bus controller

    I can't what to install on the Dell site.

    I downloaded the something which was means to have drivers for Inspiron 640 m, but it failed, so I thought I'd do a separate download... but I had no joy.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • How to move a virtual machine to a different data store, preserving its ID

    I would like to move a virtual machine to a different data store.

    Because I use 3rd party software that identifies a virtual machine by its ID of VirtualCenter, I'd like to preserve the ID, and I also want to preserve the name of the virtual computer.

    If I clone the virtual machine, I lose the ID and name.

    I can clone a second time to restore the name, but the ID is always false.

    I know that I can use vmkfstools-i to copy the entire disk.

    Is it possible to copy the entire VM?

    I am currently on ESX 3.0.2/VC 2.0.2

    The operation that I describe is available in 3.5.x/VC ESX 2.5.x

    TIA,

    -Magister

    Don't use EVER of CP to copy a VM, VMDK move/copy should be used in conjunction with vmkfstools as best practice.

    OP,

    You can manually make a copy using the CLI interface or use the VI Client and browse the data store and to copy and paste in the appropriate data and as suggested Andre store, when you switch on for the first time, you should say 'keep' when asked if you want to update the virtual machine UUID.

    Another thing, you could do, is if you've enabled for vMotion, you can actually use Storage vMotion which will migrate directly from your virtual machine to a different data store, it's less effort on your side and you can count on Andrew Kutz sVMotion plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

  • Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

    I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

    In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

    Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

    Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

    Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

    I looked at four options.

    1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

    2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

    3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

    4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

    Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

    Hello Peter

    If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

    I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

    Please post the result.
