The destination does not support the EFI firmware.

Hello

I have a Debian Linux 7.0 physics I'm P2V using converter 5.5.3.  When I choose my target ESXi server, I like:

The destination does not support the EFI firmware.

How confirm/deny, or enable the EFI on my node ESXi support?

Hello

This may be a false signal. The problem is that Debian is not a taken GOS supported for the converter. That's why he treats her like "Other Linux" and then the ESXi responds that it does not support the "other Linux" on EFI.

Unfortunately I see no significant workaround solution. There is a crazy idea - converter checks if the source computer's BIOS or EFI by searching the directory/sys/firmware/efi/vars. If you can somehow it wrong that there is no (I don't know how), it might treat the source such as BIOS and convert it. When this happens, you should then change the VM of destination to EFI firmware and manually create the EFI boot entry somehow.

  • The destination does not support 64-bit clients

    My VMware server contains two Quad Core 64-bit processors.  I'm migrating a physical machine running Windows 2 k 3 64-bit to a virtual machine, but the migration/converter of VMware software responds with, ' < span class = "objects" > the destination does not support 64-bit clients.» Why doesn't it let me convert the machine?  Thanks for any help.

    You must enable VT in the advanced options of the BIOS of the HOST servers.  Once this is done, you must turn off the physical machine and power then turn it back on.

  • The destination does not support firmware of EFI - Converter 6.0.0 - 5.5 ESXi

    Hello

    I'm trying to run a live P2V with vmware converter standalone 6.0.0 running on the actually physical machine to be converted and after selecting the destination ESXi 5.5 I get "the destination doesn't support EFI firmware". The physical machine is running Windows 2008 R2 standard x 64 and is a System x 3550 M2. Ive looked on the internet but can't seem to find someone with the same problem.

    Does anyone know if there is a work around for this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Well the problem was VCA mode has been enabled on the cluster, and there were a few esxi 4.1 servers in the cluster. Once I removed the host outside the cluster the Converter 4.1 offered 8,9 and 10 versions of the VM who support efi. This solved the prob.

  • Cannot migrate VM between 5.5 ESXi versions: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several CPU features

    We receive an error message that I am trying to make sense. I understand very well the notion of compatibility, CPU, CPUID, masking and so on, after working on a competitor hypervisor. However, this error seems wrong (or needs better wording) based on my understanding:

    Here is the message:

    ----

    A general error occurred: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several features of the CPU currently use by the virtual machine.

    Characteristics of CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register are indicated with a '1' bit: x00x:xxx0:xx0x:x 000: x 0 11xx:00: 00xx:11xx

    ----


    This happened during the migration between two hosts ESXi with the same physical processors - in this case, a Westmere X 5650.


    The source host is on ESXi build 2068190 (5.5). The destination host is on ESXi build 1474528.


    The bits it seems to complain are:


    DTES64

    Monitor/MWait

    Cx16

    PDCM

    The punch line seems to be: "the product version of the destination host. However, I have trouble believing that support for these features have been added to ESXi between the two versions. If it were, VMware has been certainly silent about.

    For what it's worth, explicitly set us the CPUID masks in our virtual machines (no, CVS is not an option for us at this time.) This is the mask:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000100000011001010001".

    CPUID.1.ECX = "00000010100110001110001000111111".

    CPUID.1.EDX = "10001111111010111111101111111111".

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000001.

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00101000000100000000100000000000".

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Note that the bits of the message complains (2, 3, 14, 15) * are * in fact forced to '1' in our mask of cpuid.1.ecx. That means (if I understand correctly), ESXi does not have the virtual machine unless the host processor supports the feature. And in our case, the virtual machine will start with happiness on nodes, with both versions. It will be not simply migrate between them.

    So, long story short, is this a bug of ESXi? The error message is misleading? I understand something?

    Thank you

    To use the masks feature VM in this way, you must replace all the 1 to your masks with-'s:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000-000000 - 00-0 - 000-

    CPUID.1.ECX = "000000-0-00--000---000-000---".

    CPUID.1.EDX = '-000 - 0-0 - 0-

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "0000000000000000000000000000000 -"

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00-0-000000-00000000-00000000000.

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Zeros erases the features that are not available on your hosts Westmere, and dashes will leave the other one features.  The problem with those masks was forced to you certain features on who would have normally been off.

  • Pavilion 23-b244 AiO: the system recovery media does not support this computer

    Hey all,.

    I had a power outage (1 TB) HD material on me about a week ago and replaced by a (500 GB) SSD, not purchased from HP.  I then ordered the recovery disc from HP for this particular serial number.  Whenever I boot on the recovery discs, I get "this computer does not support the system recovery media. You are not able to restore the system with the media. "The Minsize argument in the instructions to build on the DVD file provides a minimum of 140 GB, so I don't think I have a new smaller drive system is the question.

    Last month I have updated the firmware to v80.08, and in the bios "product name", 'SKU number', 'serial number of the chassis' fields are all empty.  In "System ID", everythign is empty except UUID and family name.

    I think that's why I'm not able to boot to recovery discs?

    Any help would be appreciated, I have use this computer for quickbooks and have bee unable to do accounting for a week and a half.

    Figured it out! On my Pavilion, you press Ctrl + A in the bios then click on 'System IDs'. Then I was able to type in the ID to build my recovery and support the byte to feature on the sticker under my machine. F10 to save then the recovery media recognized the computer properly and booted up!

  • How much data transfer during the thin VMFS copy to NFS, which does not support thin?

    1. I copy using - VMFS volume thin for a 2003 hosted server NFS volume.  However, there is no indication that the destination in charge it is thin, and the size of the file becomes the size declared.  When I copy the NFS share that does not support thin volume VMFS does, the file becomes thin.

    a. when I copy volume VMFS volume NFS, the amount of data actually traverses the network?

    b. when I copy volume NFS volume VMFS, the amount of data actually traverses the network?

    2. I have two identical servers with the same 5.1 ESXi on them.  When I copy one of them, starts immediately to 0% and charges while the other starts immediately to 10% and progressive count.  I have never seen this on another server.  If anyone has seen anything like this before?

    Thank you!

    If the sizes are well apart from each other, it would be easy to see how much is transferred.

  • The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.  You will not be able to access older versions of this document once you close.

    I recently started getting this strange message, usually when a Pages document is closed:

    «The document _ is on a volume that does not support the permanent version storage.»  You can access older versions of this document once you close. »

    All my research (apple.com and on the internet) have not enabled all the information on this message.

    Hi Larry,

    The 'volume' is a hard disk, a partition on a hard drive or a storage as a USB device.

    OS X automatically saves your document frequent while you work on it. If the volume of the device / it records on a summer formatted to allow 'versioning', you will be able to use Time Machine to open previous versions of your document. If it has not been formatted like that, you get the message see you, and only the current version of the document will be saved.

    Kind regards

  • 'webplugin' does not support the maximum safety level of safari plugins

    Last night, I got connected to my Svat security system using Safari and left the computer with the browser showing all the security cameras. Early in the morning about 3 or 04:00 I was awake by restarting the computer I noticed that the OS has been updated.

I went into properties and noticed the ['webplugin' does not support the maximum safety level of safari plug-ins] my security system stop working in windows because of the plugins for a long time so my only option is to use my mac-mini to access the system and now what happens.

    The name of the plugin in the security system is called HiDVRPlugin.dmg and the system is Svat. I tried to go to Safari preferences and enabling the plugin, but it still does not work.

    Any ideas on how to re activate or difficulty this plugin?

  • Nexus10 version does not support pdf files in the web site.

    I have a new Nexus 10 and installed Firefox and the Epson Print software. When I go to the bath of Rockville and center of fitness, full screen, it will show me a button on the right side hourly. Click on that to start a download (it should just show me the contents of the file as does the true Firefox). If I go to the download section of Firefox, the download is listed, but when I try to do with the word app, it says that the file is not present. If I try to do with the Epson application, she argues that the application has stopped. If I go to epson print and look around, I can find the file and read it. But it's exceedingly complex.
    The same died of problem with crome, crome, but does not support full screen. This problem is not present on the ipad from apple with the web browser by default.

    in the original post, I am fearless "PDF viewer" as a name for a standalone application, and as I said in my reply, I installed this app. you suggested that what I needed was an Add on Firefox. I installed this add-on and could see page.
    I think you still have a bug in the download page, so that it appears not to pass the correct name to the app non-firefox that you want to use.

  • Airport utility does not support my Airport - options to change the channel?

    I have an older Airport - extreme, I think, and the utility does not support.  I'm out of luck to change channel?  Time Warner said their modem did not support my newest Airport (? it's TWC) and now the internet keeps smoking at least once or twice a day.

    I suggest that you keep it simple.

    Your airport automatically analyze and choose the best channel to use when it lights up. So, if you have not done for some time, powering to the airport, wait a few seconds and then put it to the top.

    Even if you could change the channel... How would you know which channel to choose?

    Time Warner said that their modem did not support my most recent airport

    Time Warner will only support for a product they have received for you.  But this does not mean that a router from Apple will not work with their service. I've used Apple products for over 10 years with Time Warner.
