Trying to type of SCSI controller with guest operating system list

• VMI customer - guest operating system listing changes randomly

  Just curious to know if anyone has noticed this:

  In the Client of VMI, randomly changes the list of guest operating system.  In my case I see that MS Windows 2008 64-bit randomly change for MS Vista 64-bit.  If you check thesettings for the virtual machine, it registers the correct operating system.  Nothing seems to be affected, just a bug is interesting.

  If seen this as well... Some of our boxes as well under Vista report W2k8.  This will not affect your VM, just a step a helpful Visual.

• Adding a virtual drive on the SCSI controller with sharing fails physical/virtual

  I have added a virtual disk to a SCSI controller with bus sharing physical or virtual, which is put down to the code below. Same code gets successfully if the bus share is 'noSharing '.

  Can you get it someone please let me know, we should pass us any other parameter for the addition of SCSI controller with bus sharing physical/virtual disk?

  Yes, the stand is adjustable to all types at deployment time.  You need to change your disk with the correct support add operation.

• Adding SCSI - HOST OS card works fine, GUEST operating system does not see the new hardware

  I have a HOST Windows XP Pro SP3 with VMWare v6.5.2 running Windows Server 2003 R2 STD, SP2 as OS GUEST running on any new Dell Precision T3500 Workstation.

  I've closed the COMMENTS and then HOST. Installed an Adeptec SCSI 39160 card in the PC. The card is a 64-bit and is installed in a PCI 32-bit slot. (It is backwards compatible with 32 - bit)

  Powered on PC. Install the drivers of Adeptec on the HOST. Works fine and I can see the card under Windows XP. Rebooted and everything is always OKm POST shows the installed card and search devices. I have no device attached at this point.

  GUEST operating system has started and it does not automatically detect the card. Tried to run the Add Hardware Wizard and same result. Tried to use VMWare to install the new Hard ware with no result.

  Can tell you how I can get the OS TO see / use the new SCSI card?

  golden rule:

  old guest will love the buslogic controller

  new comments will love the lsi-logic controller

  It depends on your guest

• Performance problem with the guest operating system

  Hello gurus - I have one of the most unusual questions, I ran into a few time.   Here it is:

  I have a guest w2008R2 OS - installed in a 5.1 version of VM 7 vSpherer - which has an Emulex LPe 12002-E 8 GB dual HBA port is assigned to the as 2 PCI (1 device per port) via DirectPath devices

  The guest operating system has an application that performs backup tests.   WWPN of the HBA is zoned in the fabric and declared in the interface of Compellent Storage Center and everything is good here. the application creates a replay of a volume, mount it as a drive, read all the blocks, then dismantles and moves then repeat the process with what ever additional volumes should be safeguarded.   It is so cool I have do this with a VM right and not a physical host?  (would be cool if I had work NPIV but that's another story, not with technology HBA vendor support...)

  So, what's the problem?   Well, the bed the mounted disk backup will work extremely slow as slow as 5MB\sec flow, then during any other activity takes place on the system the flow jumps up to 150MB\sec all of a sudden and will continue to run fast for a long time and finish jobs on time with each work taking a little more than an hour.  But when the slow going the same work (all jobs are the same, they are simply by reading all the blocks of a bunch of 200 GB volumes and wrote a set of NULL value, do not forget this is just test) takes up to 10 hours to complete.

  I think that what is the culprit?   POWER MANAGEMENT.

  I have just about each performance counter and the journal of events known to man and I don't see anything abnormal on the table, ESXi virtual machine, nothing.  But what I see in the newspapers is any kind of activity that could happen in a transparent manner to save energy.

  FACTS on this case:

  -Reservation of memory is defined (it must be for directpath otherwise, you can't power on the virtual machine)

  -Booking CPU - has not been defined before an hour ago, I gave her just a small reserve for this rule, so I do not know if this will help alleviate the slow flow, or have an effect on what I think is a question of power (unit linked) management

  -windows power management is set to high performance never-ever - but not until an hour there doesn't I changed advanced settings for USB Disabled------turned off.  PCI peripheral energy saving setting was already off.  Which is in contradiction with my theory.  But maybe, just maybe, something is broken somewhere, or could be a bug... blah blah blah

  -the HBA, Emulex, as it appears in Device Manager in the guest OS doesn't have a power management tab to disable the feature, I don't see that the adapter VMXNET3 had this tab, and I turn off the power save setting to be conservative, do not think that it was the culprit, but as there is no real data running through the NIC.  The data is simply to be read from the disk mounted, not copied on any wire Ethernet.  never the less, in the Emulex properties is a Details tab and a selection of power data, and performance data indicate you what power mode, the device is, as well as feeding supported systems.  D0: full power, but D3, which shows as supported by the device, is an energy saving mode.   I could not yet attend the setting at the time of slow activity, my good intention as soon as possible. He is currently shooting in D0, full power.

  This is so what I have to offer on this, I hope that its just...   If I'm missing something, or if others have experienced this massive loss of unknown flow without reason and have resolutions, please share.

  If there is a way for me to disable power on the Emulex HBA management inform you please, I don't mind if I stop to enter the firmware, if that was even possible.  But if possible I would disable it immediately before any new tests are executed.

  The root cause of this issue has never been identified by VMware support which for me is a question of ugly.  Reservation of CPU for the VM using directpath IO with HBA installed in it corrected the problem.  I'd be leary with direct path IO.

• VMWARE Newbie - installation problems with the guest operating system

  I heard a lot about the use of VMWARE for a long time so I downloaded and then installed ESXI 3.5 on a test area.  I installed the client and have been able to create a new virtual machine.  However, I run into some difficulty with installing a guest operating system.  All the pdf that I could find have suggested that simply by putting a CD in the server's drive and then turn on the virtual machine would start the my guest operating system installation process.  Unfortunately, my VM doesn't seem to see my CDRom and tent drive a start-up network, followed by a brief wait for the message 'Operating system not found' timeout.

  Can someone please help me find a way to create a new guest OS on my VM so that I can.

  1. understand the process

  2 start testing.

  Thank you in advance.

  If you have installed of course the VI Client to create the VM, and you insert the CD into the ESXi host? You can go to change settings on the virtual machine, click the CD/DVD and select the option use the host device. Also ensure the connection to turn on is checked.  When you turn on the virtual machine, it should see the CD that you inserted in your ESXi host. Once you get the operating system to load, you can configure to allow remote desktop connections and access the VM as a traditional physical machine, rather than relying on the console of the VI Client view.

• Blue screen on the guest operating system with code BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER when I connect an iPod

  Hello

  I use VMware server 2.0 (build 122589) on Windows VISTA 32 bit. The guest operating system is Windows XP SP3.

  When I connect an iPod Touch on the guest computer, after a few seconds, there is any time a blue screen Windows with code BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER. I have connected 2 different digital cameras and the crash does not add.

• problems to receive a guest operating system

  Hello

  I have to be able to do a query on Windows 2003 virtual machines that use the BusLogic SCSI card.  However, I am having a problem just get the operating system of each guest.  Many guests (seems to be about 800 out of our 1200 guests) return a null value (I'd say less than 10 of them are turned off).  I tried with both the 1.0 version of the VI and also just upgraded to 1.5 to check that it has not been fixed.  Here again, I'm not 100% sure it's a problem with the Toolbox.  Anyway, that's what I've tried so far.

  First of all, I found a good virtual machine (vm1) and a bad VM (vm2).  I created two variables:

  $vm1 = Get-VM vm1name
  $vm2 = Get-VM vm2name
  

  Then I tried simply to list the property Guest.OSFullName of each virtual machine:

  $vm1.Guest.OSFullName <-- returned Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit)
  $vm2.Guest.OSFullName <-- returned nothing
  

  Other "guest" properties seem well as evidenced by the following output:

  "$vm2.Guest" returns:
  
  State          IPAddress            OSFullName
  -----          ---------            ----------
  Running        {1.2.3.4}
  

  The only other thing that I noticed (and I'm going to file a SR for the same problem when I am back in the office on Wednesday) is that if you view all virtual machines in the VI Client and guest OS type, there are a lot of things that just say 'unknown '.  I've noticed this on 2.0/3.0 and now I'm under U3 2.5 and 3.5 U3 everywhere.  If you simply to change the settings of the virtual machine and click OK (without making any changes to anything) it will fix the guest operating system 'unknown '.  If you click on the 'Options' of the section of edit VM settings tab, it shows the correct guest OS it.  However, after click on this tab by clicking OK causes an error message something to not be able to change this setting in the current state (power on).  Nevertheless, at the beginning I thought all the unknowns explained my missing Microsoft VMs, but there are more than 100 virtual machines or so that are listed as unknown, so I am always short way.

  Finally, I searched this topic on the forums and learned about the Get-VMGuest cmdlet, which I managed for ever noticed before.  So, I tried the following:

  $vm2 | Get-VMGuest
  

  And got the same results as above (shows its power status and the IP address, but any type of OS).  VM1 works very well with the above code.

  Does anyone have ideas on this?  I even buried down and use Get-View and pulls the. Property Guest.GuestFullName out and it is also empty.

  Hi Allen,.

  I've never known tools that are so far out of date that you do not get a guest operating system, but I wouldn't be surprised it. You should always be able to get out the Tools version number in any case (even if not Get-VMGuest in this version).

  There is a significant difference between these people that the prompt that signals the VMware Tools is the real guest OS. The comments you get Get - VM or Config.GuestFullName is the value that is set when creating the virtual machine. This value cannot be identical to the real host. For example, I could create a virtual machine, select Windows 2003, and then install Redhat on it. In this case, Get - VM would net the VM as a machine virtual Windows while the tools would (correctly) reported as Redhat.

  In general, use tools when you can. If you don't get given tools, it can be wrong.

• no storage device found more by guest operating system installation on a virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm trying to install a guest on a new virtual machine operating system, but I can't go forward.

  I use a Dell PowerEdge 2850 , the hypervisor Server VMware ESXi 3.5 update 3 and the VMware Infrastructure Client on my computer with operating system Windows XP host.

  I am able to create a new virtual machine, but also to start on a cd for installing a guest operating system, which is (still) of Windows XP. During the installation-Setup asks me to press on enter for a new installation, the next thing is a screen with the message that Setup cannot find any storage device! It's weird, because I use the same as other data store created vm is imposed and other virtual machines always work. I created the new virtual machine several times and deleted, this is no problem. I restarted the server, but that did not help.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  I also met this problem with a fresh install of XP VM.  Windows XP does not have a driver for the BusLogic or free storage controller... without that driver, only the virtual controller is not

  recognized and drives are not found.

• Cannot run the program in the guest operating system

  Hello

  I'm trying to run a program file (an .exe) in a virtual machine via vCO using executeCommandInGuest.

  The thing is that the .exe file starts a user interface to display the status (do not ask for entry) when it runs locally. When I call the script of vCO, I get the following error:

  Error while executing command (can not run the command: InternalError: a general error occurred: a program could not run on the guest operating system (name of the dynamic Script Module: executeCommandInGuest #40) (name of the dynamic Script Module: executeCommandInGuest #46))

  
  

  If I try to call a .bat file in the VM that starts the program of the WF works but the .exe file is never started in the virtual machine.

  If I specify to run another .exe for example ping.exe only complete control of WF and if I specify a .bat file that call ping.exe he also successfully complete.

  There is no silent mode for the .exe I need performed.
  

  Any help would be appreciated.
  

  Thank you

  Magnus

  The problem was caused by the user access control. Put forever does not resolve the problem, disable it through the user interface, restart the virtual machine, and then continue with my script.

• The VM startup slow down, delay long before the guest operating system begins startup

  Evaluation of VMWare to set up the VM for the maintenance of the software. Set up a virtual machine, install Windows 7 SP1 32-bit, everything works well. Once started, the performance is excellent.

  The symptom is that when you start the virtual machine, either starting from cold boot or suspend, there is a significant delay before the power of VMware on / start screen is displayed. Once it appears, the operating system starts starting (or the recovery of wakefulness) quickly and performance is normal after that. During the start-up period, the whole system is insensitive, host and guest operating system.

  See the extract of newspaper below to 09:54:28.619 moment where the delay occurs followed by the entry concerning 09:55:11.625 time when start continues, a delay of 43 seconds during which nothing seems to happen and the system does not respond. After that, everything is fast.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hello

  I know what you want to say as I've seen sometimes as well. But especially on older hardware or if there are problems with regard to particular resources. For example I saw this on an ESX host (yes I know product different) where there was a problem with the storage not enough providing IOPS / s.

  I saw also this on older versions of Linux (IIRC 7) workstation where the host had an Atom based CPU, there I updated to more RAM and a more recent version of the workstation and the problem disappeared.

  Then I also saw it on the 4/5 merger when my host operating system was out of memory and I tried to start another operating system to prompt anyway.

  I do not consider a normal behavior for the slow start and does not respond, it is an indication that the hypervisor is seeking some resources, but does not receive them fast enough.

  The reasons can be many. Indeed things like antivirus could be biting you if she tries to analyze all files (including virtual disks) at their opening.

  FWIW, I also understand the support response as would be expected if your host is a bit thin on the resources (for example, trying to start a VM 1 GB on a host Win7 with only 3.5 GB of RAM) and if the virtual machine runs OK after the initial startup delay, it's mostly just an annoyance.

• CPU pegged at 100% in the guest operating system

  Hi all

  New to this forum, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. Note that I'm not our VMware admin, but rather, I have a server I have to admin that has been converted to VM via the P V. apparently process, our group has converted nearly 50 PMs successfully and of course one of mine is the only one who has a problem now. We have a custom application that has been developed to synchronize data between ESRI GIS and databases SAP. The code is about 7 years old and runs on a version of Oracle (9.2) and is Java based, both on the same vintage. It is not possible to upgrade by the creator going out of business and not having is not the source code. I ask this to understand that the problem is probably with the programming, but thought it was worth it.

  Anyway, one of our guard batch process fail with a Java out of memory error on the virtual machine. It works well on the PM. A consultant ran the diagnosis with a Profiler memory on the virtual machine and concluded that the program never went beyond 256 MB and we have 1 GB allocated to the guest. We now consider the CPU issues. The only other thing we know is different is a matter of hyperthreading (HT). The PM is certainly HT'd (1 physical CPU showing that 2) and it does not appear that this setting met on the virtual machine. When you run the package on the PM, we see 2 CPUs in the Task Manager, and neither hits 100% for more than a few seconds for the whole process. On the virtual machine, we see a flatlined CPU and it is 100% most of the time until it fails about 15 min in.

  The sysinfo on the virtual machine shows a 2400 MHz CPU, while the PM shows (2) 3400 MHz CPU (due to HT). I checked all my other virtual machines, and they are all 'show' 2400 MHz, so this must be a virtual standard machine type? I think that the virtual computer guest has access to the CPU ramp according to the needs, but then I'm not clear why the task manager would show that he attached the entire lot? It is likely that task manager prompt indicates whether flatlined to 100% of a 2400 Mhz CPU, even if she isn't really the most? If this is really the most, our admin should not be able to increase the dedicated CPU (I looked at the console with him and did not see an obvious option for this)? Is it possible to enable hyperthreading on the * comments * OS to mimic what has had on the PM? We cannot add another CPU to the guest due to licensing issues. Oh yes, the guest operating system is windows server 2003 and VMware ESXI 4.1 server. Thank you very much!

  The speed of the CPU that you see is the speed of the physical processor in ESXi hosts. You cannot increase this speed, however - licensing - usually, you can assign two vCPUs, virtual machine as a dual CPU core instead of 2 processors. This option has been added to ESXi 4.1. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010184 for more details.

  What you need to do is to set the number of processors to 2 and add the advanced parameter cpuid.coresPerSocket = 2.

• problem with the operating system 64-bit client

  Hi, I'm having a problem installing of operating, including windows server 2008 R2 64-bit 64-bit, but even other OS gives the same error

  I tried with vmware workstation 6.5.1 and 7.1.0 from the VW console and check utility also said, that the host is NOT capable of running a 64-bit under this product vmware host.

  My guest operating system is windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit

  the processor is an Intel Core 2 E8400 3 GHz and the support for virtualization is enabled in the bios I looked into it and ran the securable application, he said: "Hardware Virtualization locked IT.

  What could be the problem?

  The VT in the bios was already activated, in any case I turned off the PC too.

  I checked today with the Intel Processor Identification Utility and it says for Intel virtualization technology: No. cannot know what is missing.

  This looks like a buggy BIOS. What system using (name of seller/model). Looking for an update of the firmware on the suppliers Web site.

• How should be written the script for the use of the maximum memory of the guest operating system ever?

  How should be written the script for the use of the maximum memory of the guest operating system ever?

  Please teach the name of the object and the type and order, etc.

  You should be able to do it with the cmdlet Get-Stat .

  Something like that

  Get-Stat -Entity (Get-VM $vmName) -Stat mem.usage.maximum -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | Measure-Object -Property value -Maximum | Select Maximum
  

  This will return the maximum percentage in the last 7 days for the guests, whose name is stored in the variable $vmName.
