• A suspended snapshot could not be created for the virtual machine (DC) ha-data center (DC) \vm\VMware vCenter Server Appliance.

  Hello gentlemen,

  I can not only save this virtual machine with Backup Exec 2014 for a long time.

  They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.

  Could you help me?

  Hello

  I found the solution.

  I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

  and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

  I did and now there works.

  I think that the problem can come from this.

• I installed windows 7 on a mac with boot camp and then used parallels to create a virtual machine to run windows inside Mac os10.6. Now he says I need to activate windows again, but he said I need a new activation key. Any ideas would be appreciated

  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host

  I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING".  This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment.  The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct.  It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.

  In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0.  I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it.  Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it.  I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.

  I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network.  MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.

  For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.

  Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?

  The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?

• change default location for new virtual machines programmatically

  I know that you can change the default location for new virtual machines through the preferences GUI, but I want to be able to change it for all those who use VMWare Workstation in my company, so that it is more advanced to the personal folder of the user.

  Where exactly is stored?  I don't see in the registry.

  Thank you!

  WS does not use the registry to store settings.

• Setting Options such as Hotplug for all virtual machines

  Hello!

  I have about 5 esxi hosts 5 and about 50 virtual machines

  Unfortunately I forgot to select some options like activate the plug-in memory and cpu hot

  I have 2 questions

  1 can I do this without turning off the machine

  2. How do I make a few options like this (or for example another option as vmtools update during the feeding cycle) for all virtual machines in my environment

  It's too much time to go to all virtual machines and turn them off and turn on these options

  Thank you very much

  These features must be enabled before the virtual machine is running.  So, you will need to turn them off and then use something like powercli to enable the features and turn them back on.

  Here is an example on how to do it with powercli: http://ict-freak.nl/2009/10/05/powercli-enabledisable-the-vm-hot-add-features/

• How to get the moref vCenter for a virtual machine

  I use with the vCloud orchestrator plugin.  I would like to understand how I can access the moref for a virtual machine identifier (as see vcenter) that is contained in a vCloud VAPP.

  Thank you

  Here is something I wrote to do. It uses the query service.

  Note that to be able to do, you need your plugin vCD to be connected to the org of system and use the administrator credentials.

  var vcdHost = vm.getHost();
  var vApp = vm.parent;
  
  var vms = new Array();
  var queryService = vcdHost.getQueryService();
  
  expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryAdminVMField.CONTAINER, vApp.getReference().href, VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
  filter = new VclFilter(expression);
  params = new VclQueryParams();
  params.setFilter(filter);
  
  var resultSet = queryService.queryRecords(VclQueryRecordType.ADMINVM, params);
  while (resultSet != null) {
      var records = resultSet.getRecords(new VclQueryResultAdminVMRecord());
      System.log(records.length + " VM records found");
      for each (var record in records) {
          if (record.name == vm.name) {
              return record.moref;
              }
  
      }
      resultSet = resultSet.getNextPage();

• ESXi 5 - Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

  Hello

  I installed ESXi 5.0.0 469512 on a Dell Optiplex 755 with Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 processor @ 3 .00GHz with 4 GB of RAM. In the BIOS (version A21), I have the following options enabled:

  Performance-

  Virtualization: on

  VT for direct i/o: on

  Execution of trust: on

  Security-

  TPM security: on

  Activation of the TPM secure: assets

  Execute Disable: on

  I am unable to run any 64-bit OSs. For example, when I try to start vMA VM 5.0, I get the following Message from the Virtual Machine:

  "This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .
  Continue without 64 bit support? »

  I ran the "processor check for 64-bit compatibility ' and if confirmed I can run 64-bit guest OS.

  I tried to add vhv.allow = "TRUE" to/etc/vmware/config, but it made no difference.

  In the vmware.log file is that it makes meantion 'virtualization software is incompatible with the long mode on this platform. Disabling longmode. "I have attached the full logfile for details.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you Paul.

  According to the log file

  Frequent: MSR 0x3a = 0x3--> currently '0011', should be 'x 1 x 1 "'.

  VT - x is not enabled (bit 0 + 2 required)

  There were other debates, where that allows "Trusted execution" cause problems. I "suggest that you configure the settings of the BIOS as follows:"

  Performance-

  Virtualization: on (assuming it's VT - x)

  VT for direct i/o: Off (unless you need it)

  Execution of trust: Off

  Security-

  The TPM secure security: Off

  Activation of the TPM secure: inactive

  Execute Disable: on

  After you change the settings, you will need to power cycle the system.

• WAIT % - % IDLE, what is the average for a virtual machine?

  I did some research on performance of VM problems and worked with the media to see that there is maybe a bottle neck IO that occur with a virtual VMware machine I have performance problems on. The technician found that the WAITING % - % IDLE on average for this virtual machine is around 200%. The tech said it was abnormally high. I forgot to ask her what was normal but wanted to put a post to see if some people out there know what they are on average. What is an average number of see? I have the system done nothing right now and I see 579% waiting and 372% IDLE. The technology has been able to confirm that no IO queue was occurring in the VMkernel or on the HBA controller.

  Some average % positions would be useful. Thank you.

  Supposibly the amount of time in a State of waiting for I/O is the WAIT - IDLE % difference. I was wondering if anyone had the numbers for this feeling. Is there anyone with some of them?

  Q: How will I know the VCPU world waiting for I/O events?

  A: WAIT - % IDLE % can give you an estimate on how much time processor is spent waiting for I/O events. It is an estimate only, because the world wait perhaps for other than the i/o resources. Note that we should do it only for the worlds of the WWW, not the other kind of worlds. Because the VMM worlds represent the best guest behavior. For the disk i/o, another alternative is to read the disk latency stats that we explain in the drive section.

  WAIT % by itself cannot be used, you must develop and examine the individual vCPU % EXPECTATION values and subtract their idle time.  You can't do it on the initial view of a single line by VM CPU in esxtop.  If technology that you mentioned did not explain it, he doesn't know what it takes.

  I have lots of virtual machines that are never less than 300% when I wait - % idle and I have no problems.

  It is an example, I caught NimSoft server:

  DHSNMS1 100 100 5 192.63 193,80 0.24 0.03 291,44 1.04

  %EST USED (s) 192 - in other words, almost two processors are used 100%

  The %Idle is 1.04% WAIT 291.44 - according to the calculation of waiting idle, I have a super serious problems of e/s past  But this isn't the case, and expanding, I can see that.

  5665 vmware-vmx 100 1 0.09 0.11 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.01

  5667 100 vmassistant.566 1 0.62 0.65 99,63 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5703 100 mks:DHSNMS1 1 0.01 0.01-100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5704 vcpu 100 - 0:DHSNMS1 1 32,35 32.88 67,28 0.28 0.11 67,14

  5705 vcpu 100 - 1:DHSNMS1 1 31,58 32.05 68.11 0.00 67.85 0.12

  So the changed values unfortunately because of ESXTOP bike when you develop... which is annoying, but anyway.  In this you see % waiting is 67 and 68 with another respectively being 3 to 100% (which is normal) and the idle being %, 0, 0, 0, 67 and 67.8.  Doing the calculation on the processors shows a wait - slowed virtually 0 - or very little IO wait past with processors.  But if you add up all the expectations of % and % is idling, you have 434ish, and the 134ish and do the calculation is the difference of 300 - which is the 3 who are always 100%.

  So there is no way we can answer your question, we can only help you to understand how the values should be interpreted.

  Waiting for i/o States almost always go on the disc anyway, it is unlikely, therefore, the network or the user entered, looking at the stats of disc ESXTOP is a much better way to determine if there is a problem of e/s.

• Need help to restore virtual machines

  I need to change the IP address of my esx. Not knowing much about linux, I just reinstalled the software esx with virtual machines. So now, I have my esx with all the files for my virtual machines... Only, I don't know how to import the backs or all I have to do to be able to start my VMs.

  Thank you.

  If a virtual computer is disconnected from the inventory in a VC... .just do it for you can come back... Right-click on the selection of ESX Server for new Virtual Machine... Select Custon (for a VM existing to recover)... Give a new name to the VM and select data center... then click Next... Select the data store... For guest operating system and Version, click Next... Select to virtual processors... click Next... Select the size of the memory... Select your network, then click Next.. Pralines there for default storage adapters and click Next...

• VIPerlToolkit: value ready for a virtual machine

  Hello

  I do really hard with queries for performance with the VIPerlToolkit. And the examples I've seen too much waste code (but it is difficult to separate important code).

  I don't want initialize tons of counters metrics, ids and so on who might be questioned ;-)... I just want to see the values of loans for the last 20 seconds!

  Has anyone written a simple script that comes out of the given value of ready for a VM (or VM on the host) and want to share it?

  Thanks in advance!

  Please see the attached example, it returns the ready value of processor for a virtual machine.

• Affinity processor for a virtual machine

  I have a lot of CPU 8 on which I have installed ESX 3.5 U3. I also created a virtual machine Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 2 CPU is assigned to the.

  I'm trying to set the processor affinity for this virtual machine to use 2 of my physical processors. I see now on the tab Advanced CPU, I am able to select all available 8 physics of the processor. So now I'm a bit confused regarding if VMware allows scaling of my machine virtual to use all 8 CPU when my virtual machine is only 2 CPU?

  Now if the above is true, and I am to be allowed to set the affinity of the virtual machine to the all 8 CPU, then why is this maximum limit of the processor for a virtual machine is only 4? A stupid question probably but I'm really confused?  :|

  Hi confused,

  Yes, the user interface is a bit confusing. As RParker said, basically what you are doing when you assign the processor affinity are to identify the nuclei on which the vCPU is eligible to run on. At no time will be the VM scheduled to be run on carrots than what there vCPUs, so he will never have access to a capacity more than expected.

  The processor affinity is one of those features that's been around since 'the beginning' and its utility is really a bit blurred. I've heard of cases where users were running Citrix workloads configured with 2 vCPU and assigned the processor affinity for each virtual computer with the result of improving the performance. I wonder this because I never saw myself, and have a decent knowledge of how works the vmkernel Scheduler, it make much sense.

  I would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) essentially forget that the processor affinity is an option. Use it can cause significant performance degradation (if, for example, you pin a VM through two nodes NUMA, rather than keep vCPUs all in the same node) and break features (VMotion, DRS and who knows what else in the future).

  VMWare version: Workstation 6.5.0 build 118166.

  The question:

  I am currently unable to carry out the reduction operation.

  I did a search on google and find a few scenarios:

  • http://communities.VMware.com/thread/113057

  • http://communities.VMware.com/thread/151594

  However, I was not able to solve the problem.

  The full message is as follows:

  Fret is disabled for this virtual machine.  Shrinkage is disabled for linked clones, parents of clones related, préalloués disks, snapshots, and other factors.

  This virtual machine has definitely shrunk in front.  I tried to reinstall VMWare Tools and it does not correct.  I checked that there are no snapshots in the Snapshot Manager.  I also tried as suggested by one of the sons: adding a snapshot and then remove it.  I'm unable to the fret.  Of course, this isn't a linked clone or a parent of a linked clone (do not know how to use them).  How can I tell if it is a pre-allocated disk (I don't think it's, but who knows)?

  On the file system, the looks of the directory as follows:

  • ------& lt; GUID & gt;. vmem.lck

  • \Windows server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk.lck

  • \Windows server 2003 Standard Edition.vmx.lck

  • & lt; GUID & gt;. vmem

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The list of files that you show your virtual disk is pre-allocated (*-flat.vmdk).  As the message says, you will not be able to reduce a drive pré-alloués.
