Try to mount a drive on my virtual machine that is not part of the data of the VM store... Please help!

Hi all

I have ESXi 4.0 installed on my server, and one of my four VM is an instance of Debian Lenny. My VM residence on a Raid-1 data store according to the 2x1.5TB. I have an additional SATA drive connected to my server (it is in one of the 8 hotswap bays in the server) I want to get on this VM Debian.

Where can I do if the virtual machine can detect and eventually to mount this drive? I did research on vSphere manual with no luck yet.

Thank you in advance for your help!

ESXi has several limitations (due to the limited service console).

So you don't have USB support in the hidden console, you cannot read NTFS and Linux file system (no module in the kernel) and so on...

As ESX and ESXi cannot (yet) to virtualize a USB device, so you cannot mount your drive in a VM.

I would suggest using another system (Linux or Windows with a browser to ext2/ext3).

  • 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?

  • Creating a report for virtual machines that do not have a tag

    I create tags from customer for all of my guests.  With attributes, I might just show the empty field under the VI Client.  Here, I'm a little lost.  Can I filter by vms with TAGs that export and delete those from the list full of guests, but it is not very useful.

    I tried

    $VMName = Get-VM NOM

    Si ()$VMName. ExtensionData . Tag -ne $null) {Write-Host "yes"}

    This works for a person who has a tag.  When I change - for - eq it does not report back what I thought was a null value.

    (Note that this works really not at all.  He referred to all the guests, the tag or not).

    Anyone can shed some light on this?

    Thank you.  Matt

    $vmlist = get - vm

    $vmlist | {(Get-TagAssignment $_) .length - eq 0} | Sort-Object -Property name | name of ft

    This works!  The length of the array using empty rather than $null.

  • Offline host, virtual machine running, can not connect from the console

    I have a box of ESX 3.5 U3 that runs on an IBM x 3850 I've lost any connection to.  The host and guests all show in VC as disconnected, but all guests are still running.  I feel that it is running out of disk because there is an error message on the Alt - F11 screen that says cpu0:1024) VMNIX: & lt; 0 & gt; SCSI: device can be offline - recovery on failed command error: host 1 channel 0 id 0 lun 0.  No lights error on the server or players.  If I ssh, I get ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.  If I go to one of the other Alt + F, I can type a logon, but he never returns with a password.  The server responds pings and has backup management networks, but those who don't offer no connectivity either.

    All guests are on SAN LUN with 1 exception.  I tried to turn off one of the servers and the re-registration that it on another host, but it won't because there always is in a disconnected state.  I tried to remove the aggressor, but he sat in class for almost an hour now.  I would prefer not to have to drop this box there are some productions s VM on it.

    Sounds like you'll have no choice, but to power cycle the host. I recommend you contact vmware support befor taking this action. You can also prepare a scenario of recovery before taking any action.

    I am familiar with your SAN provider, but are there indications of errors on the SAN?

    No, you will need to purchase an additional license. The virtual machine is considered to be a separate computer.

  • Storage DRS, move a virtual machine that is in the data store is not a member of DTS

    Dear all,

    If I've set up storage DRS that contains, for example, DS1 and DS2. I have another virtual machine that resides on DS that is not part of the cluster of DTS. Can I move this virtual machine to one of the (DS1, DS2) data store? OR will some disruptions?

    Thank you

    Jocelyn,

    Which is correct in both cases. You can leave DTS place it for you (which is my suggestion), but I thought you wanted it to go to a specific data store.  That being said you can reactivate the DTS for a virtual machine under the SDR change settings if you do not ever clear for a virtual machine

  • VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

    This is a quote from the VMware Fusion Professional 6 product page:

    VMware Fusion 6 Professional comes with IT administration tools to help you deploy VMware Fusion using Apple or a management solution third Mac as of JAMF's Casper Suite. Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.

    Where can I find these IT administration tools?  I want to block my VMware users to a single virtual machine so that they can not blow by creating new virtual machines, etc.

    How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    Glitch004,

    You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

    1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

    2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

    installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

  • VMware 6.5.5 cannot import the virtual machine that uses 2GB "disks of split.

    Hello

    I'm using VMware Workstation 6.5.5 under Win XP. I tried to import a virtual machine that was created by using the option 'Split' virtual disks into files of 2 GB. The import fails and presents a pop-up: ' Conversion Assistant/cannot determine the guest operating system. The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, there are more files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

    Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

    Thank you.

    -Phil Anzel

    FYI... VMware Workstation peut import a Virtual Machine that uses twoGbMaxExtentSparse discs.

    The log file includes the line "could not find the disk cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk. This file does not exist of course, rather there are files cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s001.vmdk, cofortcol3v01-cl1 - s002.vmdk and so on. The machine virtual original (cofortcol3v01) has been created under VMware Workstation 5.1, and it does not under Workstation 6.5.5.

    Is this a known problem in the conversion utility? Is there a work around for this problem?

    The problem is that you're missing the "disk DescriptorFile", "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" and which is why it's a failure and not a limitation of the Conversion utility.

    Also if you actually had a Virtual Machine created in VMware Workstation 5.1 you can simply run directly under VMware Workstation 6.5.5 without having to run the import command.

    Anyway, if you have a backup that you can recover the file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk" then you should be fine and if you have not then a new can be created.  If you can archive (compress) files vmware*.log (usually 4 of them) in a single zip file archive and tied him to a post in response, then one of us will create a new file "cofortcol3v01 - cl1.vmdk", based on the information contained in files vmware.log for you, if you don't know how to do it yourself.

  • Convert a hard drive to a virtual machine

    I have a server that the material died which has mirrored hard SATA hard drives in them.  I would like to convert the data on that hard drive to a virtual machine and put it in my vCenter, but I am unable to start the server.  What is the best way to do it?  I can mount and read data from Windows on another machine.  Right now I'm trying to back up data until an acronis image and then use converter to import.  I think it is easier to sense, though.   I also have a backup server Symantec Backup Exec, but I do not have the agent ESX for Symantec.

    Thank you

    Dave

    If you want to try the converter, just fix the disk on a physical host somewhere and run a normal conversion.

    Once you have done this, create a new empty virtual machine with no disc and you fix vmdk for the reader you want migrated to this new virtual machine. Chances are that you will get the normal NT Loader boot error when you try to start, but you should be able to solve this problem using a fo the following:

    DiskPart

    Fdisk

    Recovery Boot

    You can also consider to use something else than VMware converter - perhaps something like Acronis True image?

    Good luck and please feed back.

  • Cannot expand the hard drive of a virtual computer that is a linked clone.

    I have a virtual machine that is a linked another clone.

    I did a lot of development and changes to the linked clone, and now ran out of disk space.

    Now I want to extend the drive, but I get this error:

    "Disks of virtual machines that are linked clones cannot be extended.

    So I then try to extend the drive of the virtual machine that he was cloned from:

    "Disks of VMS with snapshots cannot be extended. You must delete the snapshots or use VMWare vcenter converter. »

    What can I do? If I remove the snapshots of the original machine, do not lose the 'link' to the linked clone? What he suggested that I use the "VMWare vcenter converter" for?

    Does anyone have a solution?

  • Need help with replacing a drive on a virtual machine

    Test case for something I need to do on a separate production machine.  Virtual MACHINE is running WinSvr2003.  Only the hard disk assigned to the virtual machine is one of 20 GB disk, C: using this.  Need to C: to be larger.  Add a 40 GB drive to the configuration of the VM in the CR.  Started an iso BartPE with plug-in in Ghost.  Ghost can copy the C: 20 GB drive on the 40 GB drive.  Went in the VM config and changed is the 40 GB SCSI 0.1 drive and the drive of 20 GB at SCSI0, 2.  After I saved, VMware changed the 40 GB on disk 1 and the 20 GB on disk 2.  Went it into the BIOS on the machine config to boot the disk of 40 GB.  But no matter how I put it in the BIOS, it would only start on the 20 GB drive.  Went in the VM config and removed the 20 GB drive (which is not an option on the production machine, it has a volume of data on the same drive).  It boots to Windows, so I guess it's start on the 40 GB drive.  But I am unable to connect to it.  It shows that the application of settings, record the settings, then back to the login screen, all within 2 seconds approximately.

    Is there anything else I need to do to (1) move the volume from the Windows system to a new disk w without side effects in Windows and (2) so that it can start on the new disk correctly?

    If it is a single virtual drive with 2 partitions and the C:\ is on the front of the drive, Extpart won't help. It is usually best to separate the partitions to multiple virtual disks. I use the converter to V2V the VM and move on their own virtual disk partitions, then develop them if necessary.
