Unable to connect to the virtual machine after adding new eSATA drive

Hello.

I'm trying to connect my new 2 TB drive in VMWare Workstation. It is connected via eSATA to the host computer, and it works. I added the drive to the desktop as a new "physical disk." But now I can not power the workstation the most.

(1) when I start the VMWare Workstation it right ask admin (it didn't need before).

(2) when I turn on the prompt does not charge even the bios. It shows a rear screen with the logo of VMWare for a while and then stop saying: "VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure that you have the rights to run the program and access all directories that it uses and access rights to all directories for temporary files. »

The host is running Windows 7 x 64. The workstation runs under the standard user account.

Thank you.

Hmmm - it's unexpected - works for me here - only difference: I tried with only 1 TB disks.

You start Workstatiion as an administrator?

  • Unable to connect to the virtual machine after they are created

    I installed VMware view and connected to my server Vcenter. Composer, I installed the server vcenter and View manager recognizes it.

    I created a virtual Windows Vista machine, is joined to the domain and instant, it.

    I then created a persistent office pool and allowed users to access.  I can see the virtual machine created the VCenter

    However, the view Client cannot access the virtual machine (he can see the office pool) bit tells me that the customer is not available.

    Any ideas on what I missed?

    Go to the desktop the pool in view Administrator resources and check the status, it should say "Ready".  If this is not the one usually means that there is something blocking the port 4001 of the agent on the view connection server.  I got this when deploying a pool on a different subnet and there is a network between the areas of the network firewall.  The Vista firewall can sometimes be reset on the deployed virtual check computer so who has not been reactivated and adjust the GPO if necessary.

  • Not allowed to connect to the virtual machine after archive / installation of the Tiger

    I made an installation of archive / install OS 10.4 as part of the maintenance of the system. Today, VMware does not connect to the virtual machine and wants me to check my right to use the program and its directories.

    I recently bought VM Fusion and bought the license / registered. Something to do with installing the OS, maybe, but everything else works well.

    I don't have reinstall Fusion as part of the installation of archive / install.

    I would say that (this will not affect your VMS) because it is an easy thing to do and should decide on problems of permissions on the application itself.

  • Unable to connect to the virtual machine via telnet

    Hi all

    The VM on Vcenter everything is perfect with the network connection. I can't do a ping of the virtual machine remotely but I can not connect via telnet.

    For the same reason? And even more, I have disabled the fiewalls of the virtual machine (Windows 2008 R2).

    The error that says: could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed

    Can you please let me know how to solve this problem?

    Since there is nothing blocking the traffic of the virtual machine in ESXi, you can begin troubleshooting in the guest OS. For example is running telnet server and configured to accept connections?

  • Unable to connect to the virtual disk Service, Virtual Disk Manager Interface not registered

    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on this laptop as a new installation about six months ago.  Since then, I don't think I ever ran diskmgmt.  Today, I joined a new external hard drive usb, it reported the drivers installed fine, but then the installation bombed at the beginning.  I went to verity, what had happened and has run diskmgmt.msc (as an administrator), but she came back with the message "Unable to connect to the virtual disk Service" and also a small OK msgbox appeared with the title "Virtual Disk Manager" and the "Interface not registered" message

    I disconnected the USB hard drive and tried again diskmgmt, but no change.

    I restarted in safe mode, tried diskmgmt, but no change.

    I ran sfc/scannow, but it has reported that it found no errors.

    I checked that the virtual disk service has been configured as a textbook in services.msc, and event viewer showed that when I ran diskmgmt he started VDS and then stopped VDS.

    I tried again, but still not like before.

    Is there some dll I can't regsrv32?

  • whenever I have to connect to the virtual machine asks me to enter login and password I can't save the credentials

    Hi, I used Windows Virtual PC XP mode for awhile and I just do a fresh install, and I'm having a problem that I seem not to be able to solve.

    After you enable the integration features, I got to the Windows Security login screen. I typed in the login and the password, but I accidentally made a mistake and could not connect. I clicked on cancel and was then in the XP login screen, where I entered then the right login and password and it me connected to the virtual machine XP without problem.

    Now, the problem I have is every time I connect to computer virtual it asks me the login and the password on the login screen of XP and I don't have the option to connect using the login Windows Security screen, so it do not give me an option to save my password and login information. So, to make things worse is that moment every time I have to resize the virtual pc it then asks me to log in again.

    Is it possible to return me to the Windows security login screen where can I put my login instead of the XP login screen when it is not an option?

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

    I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

    I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

    We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

    At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

    I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
    -Created users, one per student, on the host.
    -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
    -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
    -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
    -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

    So far, it's all good.

    However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
    I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
    The role that I use for students has these settings:
    -Data store > Browse the data store
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
    -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
    -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
    -Configure CD media
    -Console interaction
    -Connection of the device
    -On
    -Power off
    -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
    -State > create the snapshot
    -State > go back to the snapshot

    I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

    Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

    I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

    I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

    So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

    Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

    It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

    What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

    Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

    I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

  • Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist

    Guys,

    Need a little help I'm running the following

    vCenter Server 4.0.0 (build 208111)

    ESX Server 4.0.0 (build 208167)

    I have a computer virtual running WIndows 2000 Advanced and when I try and open the console I get a black screen and the error message following

    "" Unable to connect to MKS: virtual machine configuration file does not exist '. "

    I scoured the data store and all the files of the virtual machine appear to be in place, I thought deletin the virtual machine from the inventory and add the vmdk file, it would be a good idea?

    Thank you.

    Remove and add new inventory won't hurt (you could lose data historial for virtual machine), it probably won't solve the problem.

    I doubt, it is a problem with the .vmx file, but you can try:

    -Remove the VM of the inventory

    -To create the new virtual machine (with the same characteristics as the virtual machine that you removed), name it differently and do not add hard drives that it

    -Change the new VM settings and add the existing VMDK virtual machine that you deleted

    -Power on VM and try

    • You should always have your complete file to the virtual machine original intact, in case you need, you will always have your original vmx file to add it to the inventory.

    By doing these steps you re-create the vmx file.

    f this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

    Hi Andy,.

    to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

    Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
    ForEach-Object {
      Get-VM $_.Name |
