Unable to mount cdrom in RHEL4 guest vm & question with the vnic modules

People!

It is an ESX3.0.2 Server and I had weird questions, especially lately with the vm (s) of linux hosts.

(1) impossible to mount the virtual CD in the vm (s) comments from linux.

(2) due to the above question, the esx is impossible to get the cdrom of vmware tools on the guest virtual machine and therefore neither I am able to install or update the vmware tools.

(3) I tried to change the settings of vm (connected cdrom; Connect to the power on) and I tried connecting to the host device cdrom and client device cdrom and none of these works. Tried to restart the guest virtual machine and no avail.

(4) the existing comments vm linux with vmware tools installed, watch reference to the module pcnet32 the /etc/modprobe.conf with the vnic as e1000. Vmxnet shouldn't replace the vlance/pcnet32 module when vmware tools is installed? I checked the forums and KB Home, looks like this problem has been spotted in 3.0.1 and claims have been fixed in 3.0.2.Which is not true, as I see many people complain about that. The KB gives a solution for mounting the .vmx or linux comments vm (s) /etc/modprobe.conf (or) /etc/modules.conf to point the eth0 on vmxnet module. I'm not exactly sure if it would work and have not yet tried. Need your comments. (KB I mean is http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1001685)

5)

Any help would be appreciated. Please post your comments on the cdrom and the issue of vmxnet. Thanks a zillion.

Hello

Oh, I didn't know that you were using a 64-bit host. Yes, what they say is true.

  • Can't mount/cdrom to install vmware tools

    I'm under VMWare Fusion 2.0 and you have installed the latest version of PC - BSD (7.02) (32-bit for the i386 architecture).  When I go to install the VMware tools, everything goes well until I have to mount the virtual cd.  When I entered the command (from the root) to mount/cdrom, I get an error message stating basically that there is no such file or directory.  I have already checked so far has not automount (and yes I'm Virtual Machine > install VMWare Tools.)  I've managed to install VMWare Tools in Ubuntu Linux 8.10, but I had to create my own disk image and a few other things to make it work, and I thought I'd try the same thing with PC - BSD, but I can't find the freebsd vmware - tools.tar.gz anywhere in the content of the app.  Can anyone help?

  • Unable to mount HP2709m monitor on a monitor arm

    I spent > 4 hours on the phone with non-existent HP 'technical support', trying to solve a problem with a monitor we just bought.  The monitor HP 2709 m 27 "is SUPPOSED to conform to install it on a VESA arm.  SUPPOSEDLY, when we remove the rear plastic cover, we should find the square 4 typical holes machine threaded holes, spaced 100 mm, in which the 4 screws are placed to hold a VESA stand.  UNFORTUNATELY, this is NOT the case.  When you remove the cover, everything you find is a series of niches in which will the tabs on the cover plastic.  There is NO mounting hole to fix a support.   No matter HOW many times I talk to technical support overseas, I can't understand/accept that the documentation they have as much as me and they continue to refer to is WRONG.  All I need is a technician to contact me, so we can determine what equipment IS needed to mount the monitor on an arm, or directly on the wall.  Has ANYONE dealt with the 2709 mounting on an arm or on the wall?

    for anyone who's problems with this mounting monitor.  I don't know if HP has changed the documentation, but at least now, she says that this monitor uses a mount for vesa 100 x 200 mm.  This is not the standard mount found on smaller screens, but a wider lying mount to organize the largest monitors.

    It is a support for mounting the monitor directly on the wall at the http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Monitor-Panel-200x100-100x100mm/dp/B000ODCSWG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342534635&sr=8-2&keywords=vesa+200+x+100+wall+mount amazon.adfasdf

  • Unable to capture video with the Canon Vixia HV40 HDV - why?

    I am unable to capture video HDV via Firewire to my Cannon Vixia HV40. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a computer HP DV6T Quad Edition laptop, using the native Firewire interface. I can capture DV standard definition without problem (when the unit is set to DV mode, Windows detects the device and the guests of action - if you select HDV mode, Windows does not, and the camera does not appear in Device Manager).

    So far, I tried to capture HDV in Sony Vegas, Windows Live Movie Maker, Cyberlink PowerDirector 7 and finally HDVSplit (considered as the common denominator of simpler, the lowest for the capture) without success. NOTE: the camera IS recognized in HDV mode. In all the above applications, I can go back, play and fast forward - there's a link that works at least at this level. When I try to capture HDV, I get different results - no success. HDVSplit starts playback on the camera and stops after 3-4 seconds, indicating that no data has been transferred from the camera. If I turn off scene detection, capture runs indefinitely, but the generated file is never more than 0KB. Director of Windows also appears to capture, but the file is still 70 KB and is not valid. Sony Vegas, same, begins the capture but never see any video. CyberLink Power Director, somehow, HDV recorded once a band - and can always record a live camera HD stream.

    I tried a lot of things:

    1 using the older driver 1394
    2 turn HD/HDV
    3 reinstall the capture software
    4 press the 'PLAY' button first, then enable "record", then the workflow is running.
    5. install the Canon software (despite the fact that it contains all drivers for camcorders) - in fact there is no driver for the Canon Vixia HV40. It is supposed to work with the Windows 7 driver. I tried both (W7 and legacy) with the same result.

    The Canon Vixia HV40 is documented as supported in Windows 7 by Microsoft and Canon - and yet there are many people on the Internet claiming to have this problem (although some people report no problems at all). I am sure that I do not see a 'Pink Elephant'. As this is a forum for Microsoft - I would be happy if I could capture in Windows Live Movie Maker - to keep the inconsistencies of the third part of the road. What should I try next? Is there a 1394 a generic driver that is certified to run on Windows 7?

    I went and hooked the camcorder new just to make sure that I can hardly believe it is now capture HDV. Perfect work. Believe me, I've tried evey solution I could find on the internet and it is the only one that worked for me. I found the solution on this forum and started to find only no sooner. I've only used it with Pinnacle Studio 12 so far... never mind, I just tried HDV Split and it works too. I had also planned to buy a SIIG NN-EC2812-S2 and if it had been less expensive, I did not hesitate. I tried from Best Buy's Dynex Express card, but he had the camera recognition problems and sent. I thought that you get what you pay and was actually looking for the best price on the SIIG when I came across the solution. I wish you good luck.

  • [Solved] HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20L periph. CdRom SATA has a driver problem. The driver faces a problem of Plug-and-Play device.

    Recently, I noticed that my CD/DVD stopped working. He turns, but nothing happens; the disc is not read.
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit on an HP Touchsmart tx2z.

    I ran the Microsoft FixIt program through http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116 and it has identified the following problem: 'HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20L periph. CdRom SATA has a driver problem. The driver faces a problem of Plug-and-Play device. »

    However, FixIt said that he was unable to solve the problem and discs are still read.

    I manually uninstalled the driver in Device Manager and then scanned for the hardware changes. The driver was reinstalled, but with the same problems as before.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Also, try following the steps for Windows Vista, which should also work in Windows 7, in the MS KB article:

    These measures, to remove the UpperFilters and LowerFilters, values if they exist, in the registry key named can help.

    Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. First of all, there is problem with the Snow Leopard operating system. Dragon followed in the upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference was error code 109 changed to 'null '. What about someone?

    We need some info.

    You can access from the finder Time Capsule? If this isn't the case, then Time Machine will not work.

    You upgrade the computer snow to El Capo and keep the same name?

    If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

    I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

    The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

    With update installs all sorts of things can go wrong... so tell me more if you can not get anywhere.
