UEFI TBS tool running on the virtual machine

I installed esxi5.0 with setting of the virtual machine to support UEFI BIOS. I tried to run TBS uefi (self-certification tool) on uefi shell but installation stop impossible to copy the file stallforkey.efi. However, on a normal physical machine, I am able to boot to efi shell and can install the tool even without any impact. I wonder why it does not work on a virtual machine. Thank you!

Sorry I did not on this thread in a timely.  I try to help where I can, but it can be difficult to follow all this and make sure that I have the answer to everything.

The driver that you have found is the right, and it seems that you have loaded correctly too.

You should probably just use "reconnect" in the EFI Shell to disconnect our CTS volume FAT file system driver and connect the FAT file system driver that you have installed (which has a larger number of driver version, it should be preferred to our driver)... Then, you should have file name long support on the volume of the SCT.  There is some trick that is necessary in order to obtain the ID correct grip for the command "reconnect", or you can try of "reconnect - r", which will take a little longer to run.  You must ensure that the current the EFI Shell working directory is not on the file system you want to log.

So you're on track with OVMF + qemu anyway, so I just after the above for the sake of completeness, and just in case you find yourself stuck and looking for yet another way forward.  Sorry again once I failed to reply to your message.

See you soon,.

  • Connect to a service running on the Virtual Machine

    Hello

    I installed the server virtual computer on a Windows Vista-based computer. I have created a virtual machine and configured the Windows XP operating system and certain services is installed.

    I can't do a ping to the host Vista the XP virtual machine. But I'm not able to ping for the service that is running on the Virtual Machine host to Vista XP. I have configured the virtual machine to run on the HostOnly network.

    What could be the problem/fix?

    Kind regards

    Knockaert C

    If you are pinging by IP address then it work should absolutely check that the Windows Firewall in XP guest does not prevent the ICMP packets that is located on the tab 'Advanced' the Firewall Control Panel applet. No changes to host files is required. What type of network you choose - bridged, host only or NAT. If fulfilled, VMware is fill protocol running on this NETWORK card in the home? If one of the other two, is their virtual network adapters (VMnet *) in the active host and IP associated with them?

  • Database SQL vCenter that is running on the virtual machine within vsphere

    Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you are running your database remote vcenter on a virtual machine inside your vsphere environment? We always ran the vcenter db on a physical remote outside the vsphere group box, but I am considering the upgrade to sql 2008 R2 and I already have a virtual sql server computer running within vsphere.

    Pro/drawbacks to be aware of the db running on a virtual machine?

    Thanks in advance

    Kevin

    We rotated our SQL database in a VM for a while now.

    Some advantages are for example the wide use of HA and the ability to easily extend if necessary resources. In addition, if you use backup as Veeam software a restore takes only a few minutes from a physical configuration.

    There are a few things when you have to keep in mind:

    -Make sure that your SQL VM database begins before your vCenter (the service does not start if it cannot reach the database), even if it can be fixed manually it might be something you want to keep in mind

    -If you use the distributed switches power risk since data is stored in the database, of course there are solutions for this (keep the traffic on a standard switch management)

    -If you use HA make sure you modify the priority of restarting HA for the virtual machine (you don't want a reboot suddenly)

  • VMTools fails to run for the virtual machine Windows 2000

    My first post.

    Just installed VMWare Workstation 8.0 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer and I'm trying to create a virtual machine to Windows 2000 Professional from a CD of Installation. I'm trying to resurrect an old machine from the grave of cyber.

    I created a disk image ISO of the installation CD Windows 2000 Pro original and then used the new computer Virtual Assistant to create a new virtual machine from it. Everything was fine, the new virtual machine started using the video driver by default since the installation media. Therefore I could not make any changes to the screen. VM Workstation suggested I have install VMTools.

    But when I installed VMTools, installation fails just before she completed displays a dialog box stating "Setup failed to upgrade Windows Installer.

    So I have reproduced the same process on a copy of VMWorkstaion 6.5.2 running on a Windows XP-based computer by using a copy of the same ISO image. I installed VMTools and completed the installation successfully. Then I cloned the machine and copied to the first machine. The new virtual machine booted up and I was able to make changes to the screen. However, VMWorkstation 8.0 informed the VMTools was outdated and run it again. When I did, it has exactly the same way as it did before.

    Although the new virtual machine created the 6.5.2 VMWorkstation works better, I prefer to have a recent version of VMTools install correctly on this virtual machine.

    Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

    I think Win2000 needs to be patched to Service Pack 4 to the latest version of VMware and the VMware tools.

  • vCloud Director & database running on the virtual machine

    Hi people,

    I looked for this information on documentation and the online forum, but I have not found it. Is it possible to run vCloud Director Service and Oracle DB on Virtual Machines VMware? And if it's possible, VMware will support it?

    Don't forget that I will reserve all the resources of these virtual machines.

    Thank you!

  • Taking image image redhat physical machine running on the virtual machine 1 core.

    Hello

    I am woundering no matter I would get in trouble if I toke a physical machine linux image used vmware converter to make a picture of him and installed on a virtual machine with a processor?

    I'm guessing that this might cause pilot or BONE problems.

    Someone at - it experience with this?

    Thank you

    Dak.

    There will be no real problem. Linux can work on 1core CPU even with SMP kernel installed perfectly. But it runs a bit slower due to additional unnecessary code in the kernel for synchronize processors.

    The only real problem is that you will have 1 kernel instead of able 4 times less treatment and 4.

  • Using vmrun to obtain an IP address when you run the virtual machine mode headless fails customers

    Operating system: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

    VMware Fusion: Professional Version 8.1.1 (3771013)

    When you run a VM guest in headless mode I can't use vmrun to get IP clients. If I eventually bring to the top/start the merger GUI, the command returns the IP address as planned. It is always reproducible.

    $ vmrun -T fusion start "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" nogui
    2016-06-12T10:55:46.626| ServiceImpl_Opener: PID 11515
    
    ... wait for VM to come up. If the VM has a static IP address I can now ssh into the instance.
    
    $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
    Error: The VMware Tools are not running in the virtual machine: "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
    
    $ vmrun -T fusion checkToolsState "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
    installed
    
    ... Start the VMware GUI and ensure the VM's console window is open
    
    $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
    192.168.100.23
    

    I tested with open-vm-tools and tools VMware packaged with the merger and the behavior is the same. I also spoke with others on the channel of freenode #vmware who have confirmed that the problem exists for users of workstation as well.

    Hi danandham,

    Welcome in the vmware community. Iyou s really a problem, we try to fix it.

    After a command, you can use as a workaround:

    vmrun t fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" - wait

  • Display notifications to the host in the virtual machine

    Hello

    I use an Instant Messenger (Pidgin) client on my machine (Windows) host.  But I spend a lot of time in VMWare workstation.  I would like to be able to know when someone is trying to contact me through the instant messaging client.  Now, I continue to have switch between the host and the virtual machine to check if anyone has happened to contact me.

    While I could install the instant messaging client in the virtual machine, then I have the opposite problem - when in the host machine, I wouldn't see someone trying to contact me on the client that is running in the virtual machine.  E-mail clients instant most (if not all) you do not have the client running actively against the same account on different machines (in my case, the host and the virtual machine).

    I tried to use a parameter "always on top" for window my client of instant messaging on my machine host, but that gets ignored when I go to the virtual machine.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

    The simplest solution to your problem is more likely to use the unit.

    From the top of my head, under the view menu, select unit instead of windowed or full-screen.

    This allows you to use applications in your host application as if they are part of your host operating system.

    Of course the applications are still part of your guest VM, but they appear as normal applications instead of in a new complete desktop environment.

    You must have VMware Tools installed in the comments to use it.

    Hope this helps,

  • VCenter are running in a virtual machine: now, it is a good idea?

    This article:

    http://searchvirtualdatacentre.TechTarget.co.UK/news/column/0, 294698, sid203_gci1512874, 00.html?

    says it is recommended.  He will then raise a problem with the Update Manager.  I do not use the Update Manager, so I'm interested to know if anyone can confirm and tell me what document of VMware's vCenter recommended to run on the virtual machine as a 'best practice '.

    I'm more ready to go this way than before, but I'm always cautious when I consider the complexity of chess.

    If host ESX running vCenter server completely failed, then, Yes, vCenter will re-start on another host.

    But there are opportunities far more problems than that.  What happens if the data store becomes unavailable?  What happens if the ESX host is suspended from a problem that connects the CPU?

    Be extremely careful, I can not far because virutalizing vCenter means basically that it have more complexity in the layers beneath him and therefore more opportunities for the failure of the recovery are introduced.

    I know vCenter running on material means that layer may still fail, but we're watching all of our physical servers that run our ESX host.

    Put a hypervisor on them prevents us from having to deal with the problems of disk/network/fiber channel / local memory.

    the search for VMware, I found a doc who wrote in 2009, don't know if it's always the last Gospel.  I will raise a support call to ask VMware, but I wanted to first see if you can give me a link to the answer.

    http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-11197

    Interesting that this doc on the VMware site binds effectively to that on the techtarget site.  That's fine, but I want VMware reference that mentions the techtarget article.

    Congratulations in advance for your time and your help.

    Points of generous and enthusiastic congratulations to all those who could be the key here.

    see you soon,

    Kevin

    The design of vSphere course has this as the best exercise of the profession - the reasons have already been identified. From VMware, it's a virtual vCenter server has high levels of resilience and redundancy, you can not necessarily with a physical server or having to pay a significant premium to achieve, that is to say MS clustering.

    It also gives you the possibility of increasing resources - CPU and ram discs if you need to. With the help of a physical server you reaches the limits of physical capacity.

    If it works as aVM you use common sense - if you have one or two hosts then risks may outway the benefits, that is a failure of a single host leaves Infrastructure depend on the remaining host. If you have 10 hosts and a resilient storage solution then why not.

    There is quite a response to the host to vcenter environment - person has never shot to run on a physical server and can say the same for virtual.

  • XEN running inside a virtual machine under ESX (i) 3.5?

    Hello world

    I'm still pretty new mV, so please bear with me if I ask is stupid. I have already searched the web, but I couldn't really find an answer to this:

    Let's say we have a VM-certified (for example from Dell) server running ESX 3.5 or ESXi 3.5. I understand that the following would be a typical scenario:

    -ESX 3.5

    -VM 1: Windows Server 2008

    -VM 2: Windows Server 2003

    -VM 3: Debian 4.0 (unofficially supported?)

    -Virtual MACHINE 4: Redhat Enterprise Linux 4

    Could I now install XEN in Debian of VMS 3 making 3 Xen's Dom0 of VM?

    So what I want is this:

    -ESX 3.5

    -VM 1: Windows Server 2008

    -VM 2: Windows Server 2003

    -VM 3: Debian 4.0 with XEN (= Dom0)

    -DomU 1: Debian 4.0

    -DomU 2: Debian 4.0

    -DomU 3: Debian 5.0

    -DomU 4: Debian 3.1

    -DomU 5: supported an another Linux system by XEN

    -Virtual MACHINE 4: Redhat Enterprise Linux 4

    Is this possible? If so, that requires any special parameters on the side of the virtual computer, Debian or Xen?

    Or, and this is what I hope, is the ESX service an fully transparent layer between whats running in the virtual machine (for example. Debian with XEN) and the actual hardware.

    In other words: is the installation of Debian in VM3 "knows" that he is not actually run directly on the hardware?

    Thank you very much in advance for any answers or advice in the right direction!

    Tom

    Depends on the mode of Xen.  If Xen tries to use the VT / SVM instructions, it will not work because these instructions are not virtualized.  If Xen is running a guest paravirtualise it could work - anyone I know has ever attempted.  (So, "no".)  If this does not work, we would like to hear about it.

    Re: Why Debian is not a client supported... it's a problem of bandwidth QA, invited taken in charge to be tested carefully so the number of guests that can be supported is limited.  Debian runs almost certainly - it is very similar to Ubuntu, which is supported - but VMware not QA, if we do not pretend that support.

  • How to install the virtual machine tools

    I am new to this, and it's fun to find how to do everything. I'm stuck now, so need some help, I did search but could not find definitive answers.

    I have ESXi installation, it will run on a dedicated slide. I have a windows-based virtual machine that I use to test.

    I downloaded the iso of VM Tools for Linux to install on the server so that I can push to the client virtual machines. I can't understand how to install the VM on the server tools so that I have the option in the console to push to turn the VM to the client tools.

    Is there something I'm completely missing? The iso is for linux, which is the server. I assumed it would be installed on the server that would allow me to push to windows clients.

    Help, please!

    VMware tools for Windows is already included in the installation of ESX.

    Customer Infrastructure using, go to the console of the virtual Windows computer and logon. Right-click of the virtual machine in the inventory on the left, then select "install/upgrade VMware tools. If Autorun is enabled the installation starts automatically, if not the Windows.iso is loaded into the virtual computer CD-ROM drive and you have to run setup.exe.
