Unable to power off a computer virtual cloned in ESXi 5.0
Dear friends,
IM new to ESXi 5.0, but have used vmware player before that.
Just today I installed ESXi 5.0 and uploaded (using the vSphere client) my existing Win2k8 VM from my Windows desktop. vSphere client is really a nice, easy to use interface.
After you add this virtual inventory machine, when I tried to turn on the virtual machine, I got following error:
Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.
Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, "/vmfs/volumes/4fcdd933-d49bf04d-d23d-6805ca06e545/WinServer2k8-R2-x64/Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk"
Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.
According to " " http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/VMware/A_8669-VMware-vSphere-5-error-unsupported-or-invalid-disk-type-7-ensure-that-the-disk-has-been-imported.html ', I changed the vmdk in zeroedthick vmdk using vmfstools. »
vmkfstools-i "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk" zeroedthick temp.vmdk d
This has created 2 files: temp.vmdk and flat hard-temp.
I did 'mv < original_file.vmdk > oldfile.vmdk' and ' mv temp - flat hard < original_file.vmdk > '.
When I tried to start the virtual machine, I got another error:
Reason: The specified file is not a virtual disk.
Could not open the disc '/vmfs/volumes/4fcdd933-d49bf04d-d23d-6805ca06e545/WinServer2k8-R2-x64/Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
What is Flash the drive?
How to create these discs or how I can convert them to the required format?
I have following files in my directory of virutal on ESXi machine:

What is vm ware converter? Can I download this vmware Web site?
Or it is part of vsphere client tools?
Can I convert the virtual machine on the host operating system first and then download on ESXi?
Thank you
Here is the link, it's a free tool.
Yes you need to convert the vmplayer vm in the format of esxi 5.0 and move it to the desired location and turn on

Power off the computer problems
Shut down the computer, and then become a computer restart. And not close to turn the computer off by pressing the CPU instead. How about the problems?
Shutdown problems are usually caused by a program or process that won't come out gracefully. The program or process may be against malware, or may be legitimate (for example a pervasive like Norton or McAfee antivirus). If you use Norton or McAfee product, uninstall it and replace it with a better program like NOD32, Kasperksy or Avast (free). The Windows Firewall is enough for most people. Shutdown problems can also be caused by old/badly written drivers so make sure that all drivers are updated, especially on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
A.the first step should always ensure that your computer is free of viruses/malware.
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
B. If the computer is free of viruses/malware, the drivers are current, and no program Norton or McAfee is installed, then do boot minimum troubleshooting to see what program/process is the culprit:

Unable to turn off the computer, it will restart every time in Windows Vista.
Original title: portable computer complete crash
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on HP Pavilion DV2208e.
A week using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, the screen went black and all the lights on the laptop has continued. I tried to stop the laptop by pressing the power button, but it did not work. The only way to stop the laptop was to unplug the power cord. The next morning, that I started it again, with a notice "Windows did not close properly, how you want to proceed.» I opted for "start Windows normally". It seems to work very well, with the expection that the date had re-fixed at the date where Vista was installed first of all a few years ago. Later, when I tried to stop the laptop by choosing from the menu start 'Shut down', the laptop shuts down normally, but then 2-3 seconds more later handed on himself. I tried several times and it's always the same, the way to stop it is by pressing the power button, then whenever it restarts it new note that Windows not stop correctly. Also the black screen crash turned up almost every two days.I tried reinstalling antivirus and did a full scan. Also used ccleaner and décliqués "Automatically restart" in the advanced system settings. But nothing seems to have worked so far.
In computer management, I can see critical events that seem to correspond to the time when the black screen error occurred. They say the following:
The last sleep transition was unsuccessful. This error can be caused if the system unresponsive, failed, or loss of power during the transition from sleep

Since the most recent installation of Firefox, I am unable to turn off my computer.
On 19 March, I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Yes, it works a lot faster, I thank you, but now I am unable to stop. The Start button led to three choices of stand-by, stop, or restart. But closing does not occur. In desperation I tried Ctrl/Alt/Delete, without success. Please notify.
Use "Firefox > output" (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: Firefox > quit Firefox. Linux: Firefox/file > exit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing by clicking on the X close in the title bar of Firefox.

Can I connect to a computer virtual host using ESXi machine?
Hallo,
I am wanting to host multiple virtual web servers on a single physical server, but I do not have access to all physical clients.
I want to be able to connect to one of my virtual servers from the physical server.
Is this possible? If so, what configuration/products do I need?
I'm not that ESXi can do.
TIA,
Frink
Hi Frink,
Welcome to the forums.
There is no real operating system you can use in an ESX / ESXi server. If you won't be able to connect to your Web servers from inside the host.
A solution could be to create a "client" VM with everything you need to connect to other servers.
Another way is to use other VMware solutions such as server or workstation that you install on the top a real OS, Windows or Linux.
It will be useful.

Could not turn off the computer error: program not responding

When I try to shut down my computer, I get a box that says that the program is not responding. I can stop by pressing the "Exit Now" option until all blue bars shortly arrive in the window.
