Unable to resume Windows 7 virtual machines with vmrun

• URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

  After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
  I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

  I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

  Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

  "Pending the unit.

  "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

  Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

  When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

  What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

  I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance

  Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

  You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

  The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.

• Unable to connect to a virtual machine

  Hey, I am unable to run one of my virtual machines with VMware Player or workstation.

  The error I get is "fatal error VMware Player: (vmx).

  0xc0000006 (disk when paging error) exception occurred.

  A log file is available in "7\vmware.log C:\Users\Peter\Documents\Virtual Machines\True Windows Virtual Machine.

  You can request support.

  To collect the data to be submitted to the technical support of VMware, run 'vm-support.

  We will respond on the basis of your right to support. «and what comes immediately after is "power error: cannot find a valid peers to connect to.»

  If you want to know how it (possibly) happened, I put my Virtual Machine in a suspended state, but he took a while to make my computer shifted so I just shut down my computer and it's been like that since. All other virtual machines that I played.

  This could is related to a corrupted file .vmss in the folder of the virtual machine. The .vmss file stores the information of the previous day and due to the closure may not have been written correctly. Try to remove/rename the file .vmss to see if this allows you to turn on the virtual computer.

  If this does not work, please report (attached) latest vmware.log in your next post the VM.

• 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!

• Belvedere on the installer of Windows 7 virtual machine on the server

  We currently have a SCADA running Lookout 6.0.2 and you want to upgrade to 6.7.1.

  I interested him running Lookout 6.7.1 on Windows 7 virtual machine on a server.

  Someone has done this? Have tested the lookout 6.7.1 on a PC with Windows 7, I have no idea if the lookout will run on the virtual machine.

  Is - this in anyway beneficial define Lookout this way? Need information please.

  Thank you

  All the ma, but two of my servers run under VMs on Hyper-V.  The other two are running on (remote) VMware enterprise configurations.  Everything works beautifully.   I use Ethernet Server series brands such as Moxa or Pearl for any devices that are not native ethernet.  I even ran Ethernet USB on a few occasions, but that can be risky.

• Run a virtual machine with a graphical interface on a host without GUI

  Hallo

  I want to install a simple Windows 7 for some tasks bit where I need Windows on my server Ubuntu 14.04. This server has no GUI (no X) and should have any.

  Already, I've installed the virtual Windows machine on my workstation to 12, so I would just copy the vmdk on my linux server and run it, maybe put something in the vmx file.

  But I do not know is that it's all means possible.

  Is it?

  Is there any player or any application for ubuntu VMware when there is no X system (on ubuntu), where I can run virtual machines with GUI inside?

  Maybe another virtualization tool, vmware not?

  I think that this exact question already somewhere, but I haven't found much question where comments lacking a GUI, but not the host.

  I need a guest-gui on a host without gui (where I have only the terminal).

  So maybe it's not possible at all, so please tell me a 'no', so I won't expect more

  Thank you to

  Frank

  EDIT: oh, this seems to be another question unanswered it is too difficult or too stupid?

  Hi Frank,.

  Now that would be stupid, having a text Installer, and then not allow the virtual machine to run. I think it should work, but you must pass the nogui option.

  Vmrun help:

  beginning

  (Supported only on teams

  Workstation.)

  Starts a virtual machine (.vmx file) or team (file .vmtm).

  The default graphical user interface option starts the machine in an interactive way,

  What is necessary to display a user interface of VMware.

  Nogui option suppresses the user interface,

  including start-up, to allow dialog box not interactive

  writing scripts.

  [gui | nogui]

  refer to the manual of vmrun: VIX API Documentation

  Edit: hmm... Now, I see that you have already tried the nogui option. You might be able to install the package libxinerama, but he could hang out in a lot of dependencies.

  FWIW, vSphere is pretty much what you describe a system not GUI to run GUI invited, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

  Unfortunately, I don't have a host linux without X installed handy here, so can't test here without the implementation of a server without head myself.

  You can also try to run the client via the command vmware:

• Cannot create a virtual machine with a vmdk file copied from another location, please find the attached error

  Hi all

  I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below

  Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.

  This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign.

• Impossible to deploy the virtual machine with customization.

  Hi all

  I have a model Winodws 2008 R2 Std and Ent.  I use to deploy virtual machines with the model using the Customization Wizard.  All of a sudden since 2 days I can't provision VMS with the wizard of customiation.  Earlier, there seems to be no problem with the customization, but when I turn on the virtual machine, I see errors, attached is the screen shot for your reference.

  After the error 2 the vm keeps restarting without end time.

  I don't know what is the cause.  Please help me with the problem.  Let me know if you need additional information.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey there,

  Have you tried to get the Microsoft Windows product key? And maybe the password in the profile customization.

  If this does not work, try using a new profile customization.

  Let us know how things work!

  See you soon,.

• Plan for the creation of new virtual machine with 3 TB data drive

  We have an old server, we need to virtualize, and one thing that we need is a lot more storage. We have approximately 3.25 TB of available for this machine (250 GB for the OS and 3 to for the data drives), but I'm going in circles trying to find the best approach for this server. It is not possible to separate the data between several players because of the way the files are indexed. I have created a virtual machine with 2 TB of disk space (for the readers of OS and data) and added 1.25 TB of disk space I want to add on the data reader, but it does not seem possible to add 1.25 TB without destroying the data on the first disk of 2 TB. What is the best approach? Create a single disc for my virtual machine that is 250 GB and then add in two separate disks of 1.5 TB for storage and combine them within Windows?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the maximum size of virtual disk to a virtual computer is 2 TB - 512 bytes. In you case it should create two or three separate virtual disks and combine them (disks RAID 0 or concatenate). Another way (IMHO besser way) is to create several virtual drives and mount using NTFS mount points.

  An example:

  C:\Data is a folder on one of the virtual disks. Create a second virtual disks and create the C:\Data\Data2 folder. Rather than assign a drive letter for the newly created disk, you can mount it in the Database2 folder. This gives you the ability to move the largest files on separate virtual drives without lose you the structure of folders.

  Kind regards

• Doubts about sound in the virtual machine with w2k3

  Hi all

  I have the following question on the sound:

  • In my lab I have an ESXi 4.1 without sound card.
  • I create a virtual with Windows Server 2003 computer.
  • When I connect to my VM via Remote Desktop, I hear the typical sound of logon of windows acroos the speakers of my laptop. Why, if my VM doesn't have a sound card?
  • What kind of sound can reproduce via Remote Desktop if the server has no sound card?
    

  If anyone can clarify on this, I'll be very grateful

  Thank you

  Hello febsa

  The virtual machine with W2003 used your computer speakers.

  What kind of sound can reproduce via Remote Desktop if the server has no sound card? Only the default Windows 2003 sounds

  
  

• Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

  I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

  Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

  I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  TIA!

  Katie

  To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

  Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

  Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

  The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

  Host-Only is VMnet1, you used only NAT. static use of intellectual property and switch to DHCP for now. Make sure that the VMWare DHCP Server service is running. Put network cards in comments to "host-only '.

  Post your host ' ipconfig/all'.

• Problem of migration of a virtual machine with multiple vCPUs

  When I try to migrate some of our virtual machines with vMotion, I get the following error.

  «Impossible to migrate from host a to host b: virtual machine has 4 virtual CPUs, but the host only supports 1.» The number of virtual processors can be limited by the selected guest OS for the virtual machine or the granting of licenses for the host".

  The two ESX Server are identical HP DL380 with two quad core Intel Xeon. They are both connected to the same server vCenter (2.5). They both use the same license server. And, the VM OS is set to Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (32-bit), which is responsible for 4 vCPUs (it does now after all).

  I tried moved under voltage power VM off and got the same error, so I changed the vCPU to 1 and it migrated correctly. Then, I changed it to 4 vCPUs with no problems on the new host. Only problem is, I can't stop some of the virtual machines to migrate to the new host because of the availability requirements.

  Have you tried to change the settings of your license and apply them, just in case where?  I had the weird services fails when there is a kind of latency hit the license of the ESX host server.

• How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

  I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

  How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

  Can I use a password reset utility?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Doug U - M

  If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.
