The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

Nothing else was changed.

I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

Error again.

I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

Error again.

  1. status of /etc/init.d/VMware

Networking networking on/dev/vmnet0 is running

Invited only on/dev/vmnet1 network is running

Network invited only on/dev/vmnet8 is running

NAT networking on/dev/vmnet8 is running

Responsible vmmon module

Loaded module Vmnet

FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

What now?

I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

vmxvmdb: name of the Index generated by the configuration file

POST (no connection): Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 138.0, obtained 168.0.

You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

Try reinstalling VMware Server.

POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.

Failed to initialize the virtual machine.

End of the error message.

I found several posts other people have this problem but

they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem.  I found appeared

to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for

2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead.  Here is the link to the discussion

http://Fedoraforum.org/Forum/showthread.php?t=199026&page=2

Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.

Thank you

  • You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

    Hello

    Only, I converted a physical blade to a virtual machine running on ESX4 using VMware converter 4. The converted virtual computer is running VMware server 1.0.5 and machines virtual option 2. After the P2V process, I am unable to power on virtual machines in VMware server. I get the following message:

    You cannot power on a virtual machine in a virtual machine

    I see there are some entries that I can put in the vmx file

    monitor_control.vt32 = 'TRUE '.

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = 'TRUE '.

    However, this does not solve my problem. Is it possible to edit a VMX VMware Server so the virtual prompt runs in a virtual machine of ESX4

    Thanks in advance

    VMware Server 1.x does not support nested virtual machines.  Workstation 7 is the first product with the official support of virtualization nested, although other recent VMware products should work, with some constraints.  See nested running VMs.

    Have a user who was the bluescreen with no error message when she arrives in the morning. This doesn't always happen.  But when it does, it must do a hard boot of his computer. It runs XP SP3, and it is on a domain. Another user reports what is happening also, but not as often.

    Yet once, it is not consistent where it happens every working day. It's maybe 1 or 2 days a week, if that. Hibernation is disabled and power options are set to never turn off.

  • Is it possible to power - off a virtual machine?

    Hello, I wonder if it is possible to power - off (no downtime) is a Virtual Machine with PowerCLI. I know cmdlet Shutdown-VMGuest but not a similar "Poweroff-VMGuest '...

    During the weekly virtual computer restarts, we see some test virtual machines by hanging the mode on the left (some Windows VM with gray screen without the mouse, etc...). Then I need strength and power - on those virtual machines because the case comments is not operational. Is it possible to make these Power-off with PowerCLtI?


    Thank you in advance.

    Best regards.

    You can use the Stop-VM cmdlet to turn off a virtual computer. If necessary you can even add the - Kill parameter to stop the virtual machines specified by ending their processes running on the ESX.

  • HA admission control - power on a virtual machine with no available slots?

    Hello world

    Is it possible this admission control would allow a machine virtual can be powered on when there is no available slots?  I don't speak HA initiate a failover, but manually power on a virtual machine of the vSphere client...

    My current settings of the laboratory are:

    -vCSA 5.5

    -5 x test VMs

    -3 guests x ESXi 5.5 with 2 processors and 4 GB of RAM each.

    -Admission control policy = host failures tolerates the cluster = 1

    -Fixed CPU slot size = 2000 MHZ (yes I know it is huge, but I am doing this to force a slot by ESX host since resources 'hidden' PR of each host ESXi brings only 3800 MHZ)

    -Then, the slot machines, 2 3 total used, 1 failover, with 2 under voltage VM.

    It is my understanding that once you run out of slots, admission control should leave you not MANUALLY power on the new virtual machines. I could do something wrong, but in my case, I am able to power on the other 2 VMS with 0 slots available. I enclose some screenshots for reference.

    Could I be missing?

    Thanks in advance.

    So this should be no possible and looks like a bug to me. Please file a support call and post the number SR here so that we can have genius watch.

  • VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

    My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.

    Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.

    I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:

    VMware ESX 4-2 GB
    Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

    Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB

    However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

    If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

    Can you get it someone please let me know where are the rest of the memory is busy? Size of total memory of 3 virtual machines are only 4 GB and I have to be able to run all the VMs set 3, but in this case I can't even run two virtual machines simultaneously.

    Please help what should I do?

    With 8 GB of RAM on the host allowing why only 1 GB to be reserved for all you run virtual machines?

    Hello George,.

    order on the nested virtual machines, you must set monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"

  • How to keep or ignore the UUID when you power on a virtual machine

    We have a scenario where we are mirror of VMs from one site to another site for BCP which has a separate instance of the VC.

    We pre-record the virtual computers hosted NFS in virtual center.

    When we need to recover break us the mirror and power on the machine.

    VC then promp with the question, you want to keep or throw the UUID.

    How can be script as its easy to answer a few virtual machines but a pain for possibly up to a hundred?

    There are a few things to keep in mind when you want to start the guests and answer the question in this way.

    (1) the Start-VM cmdlet will wait for the prompt to start, but there is a question waiting it will never happen.

    ==> the solution is to use the Start-VM cmdlet with the parameter -RunAsync , this way the cmdlet will not wait.

    (2) when a client starts, it will take some time before the issue appears.

    ==> the solution is to wait until the question is displayed with a loop

    (3) to get the current status of the prompt, the script needs to get the VirtualMachine object with each pass through the loop.

    The properties of the $vm variable are not automatically updated unless the script retrieves the object with the cmdlet Get-View.

    (4) the purpose of the Question is present when the question is displayed. Prior to this point, this object is $null.

    ==> to avoid execution of the StartsWith method on a $null object if statement first checks to see if the object in Question is present.

    The script relies on the fact that the two conditions that are combined with - and the operator are executed from left to right.

    This is probably not a good programming practice and should be solved by using two nested If statements.

    The following script implements all the points made above.

    Note that it can only be used for the issue of msg.uuid.moved.

    The script responses with choice 2 which is the choice of 'keep '.

    $qMsgUuidMoved = "msg.uuid.moved:"
    $choiceKeep = 2
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VM "TestPC"
    $vmImpl | Start-VM -RunAsync
    
    do{
      $vm = $vmImpl | Get-View
      if($vm.Runtime.Question -ne $null -and $vm.Runtime.Question.Text.StartsWith($qMsgUuidMoved)){
        $vm.AnswerVM($vm.Runtime.Question.Id, $choiceKeep)
      }
    } until ($vm.Runtime.PowerState -ne "poweredoff")
    
    Write-Host $vm.Name "started"
