Unable to start the virtual computer after restoring the backup

Hello

I have a very big problem! I have a Machine virtual Windows Server 2003 on a Mac Mini with Mac OS 10.6.8 2009 Sever Server and VMWare Fusion 4.1.1 and I had a record of crash! A backup is performed daily and I take snapshots of security risk.

I changed the faulty HARD drive and restore "Mac Data. Now I want to restore my data from VM, but after that, I can't throw my VM. I have this error message: "Unable to get information on snapshots, lock down." (French translation, it can differ from original English message).

I get on the internet and found that you must delete the snapshots and try again, but when I do this, I have this error message: "the VM seems to be used. The same thing when I want to create a new capture instant.

I'm stuck and I have to solve that before Monday...

Thanks in advance for the help.

With the merger closed, open the package of vmwarevm of the VM (CTRL-click) and delete all the files and folders with a .lck extension. These files are used to lock the files logically and very probably contain stale data.

BTW. do you really need > 20 shots? Too many clichés can slow down the virtual machine significantly.

    Vm problem: 32-bit, Server 2003

    I use Veeam Backup & Restore 6.5 to back up my vm.  I always do a test restore to ensure that my backups are good.  I'm having a problem with a restore.  The 32-bit Server 2003 vm starts just fine on the main host it runs on.  All the vm are 64-bit except for one who is a 32-bit Server 2003 vm.  Restoring the machine virtual and implemented on a host except the 32-Bit vm Server 2003 test.  After restoration and trying power to the top, I get the following error:

    Anyone know if there is a fix for this problem?

    TIA,

    Mux

    I assume you are using different hardware (CPUs, the BIOS settings) for VMS restored!

    The virtual machine has VPCM enabled, which causes the problem. You can either disable it in vSphere Web Client (you can do this in the vSphere Client Windows), or directly modify the .vmx VM by setting vpmc.enable to "FALSE".

    For how toggle this setting in the Web Client see allow virtual in the Web Client vSphere CPU Performance counters. If you want to edit the .vmx file manually, you need to delete/re-add the VM from the inventory or recharge (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026043)

    Hello everyone, I'm getting the "unable to perform the backup because the database is closed" error after performing a backup scheduled on the database. The database is clearly open, already tried rebooting the database/system, but without success. This is probably related to the very recent change of password for SYS.

  • Can not power on VM after restore acronis backup using VMWare Converter

    I've restored a VM for VSPhere 5.1 using acronis backup VMWare Converter. The conversion completed successfully, but the virtual machine does not start and I get the following error message. Any guidance is appreciated

    An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM Testdns.

    Unable to start the virtual machine.

    Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

    Indeed IT loks like a problem with the used file format (twoGbMaxExtentSparse) hard which is no more supported with ESXi. Your options are either convert virtual disks using the command-line vmkfstools on the ESXi host (in this case, you must load the VMkernel multiextent module) or by downloading the hard files and convert them using vmware-vdiskmanager command-line utility. Another option is to download the virtual machine on a local system, and then use VMware Converter to convert to the ESXi host.

  • Unable to start the computer after the installation of Windows updates

    original title: same problem with the other oddities.

    I also have a computer down the update.  Although I tried several times to start the computer from the installation CD re, when I get to the page where I have options to fix or exit, locks from my computer to the top and will go no further.  Suggestions how to get the computer to boot the CD and allow me to choose the repair option without locking up?  Thank you!

    I finally managed to get the reinstallation CD to load.  I also spoke with telephone tech support at Microsoft who helped me to descend KB977165 my system.  After that was removed the computer booted without error.  By MS tech, I am also running the anti-virals and malicious programs to see if they detect all the other infections.

    Originally, the CD would load to the point of being able to choose between the options: continue to fix or exit.  At this point, the computer froze upwards and would not all repairs in order to remove KB977165.  Microsoft launches a call again tomorrow in order to install safety free bug so far.

    Thanks for your reply.

  • Unable to start the virtual machine after Migration - ESXi hosts

    Last night I wanted to move a virtual machine to a host of test to a production cluster.  All hosts (test and production) have shared access to the same LUN, so I usually am able to simply remove the virtual machines of the inventory in the test environment and add them to the production environment by accessing the .vmx on the data store file.  Two of the 3 hosts migrate perfectly and are running in the production environment.  However, the third server, while the migration starts.

    First he gave me errors that it was missing some files.  The only thing I did was different to rename the folder for the virtual machine on the data store.  It was called 'New Virtual Machine' for a reason, so I renamed it to "Antivirus."  However, something strange happened.  Instead of renaming the folder, it seems was created a new folder named "Antivirus" and the old folder 'New Virtual Machine' was still there.  In addition, the renamed folder 'Antivirus' had only SOME of the files needed.  So I just copied from the old folder in the folder "Antivirus" and he hung up the virtual disk of 20 GB file.  So I closed the VI client and checked the vdmk 20 GB folder and back this morning is in the folder with other files.  However, when I try to start the virtual machine, I get the "cannot access a file because it is locked" error message.

    I've done some detective and I noticed that in my second datastore where was the other folder vdmk, the file was now .40kB in size.  Looks like I've lost my other vdmk folder.  What happens here?

    It looks that the virtual machine was still running when you tried to change the name, so the old folder could not be renamed because of the lock. That's why a new folder has been created instead, and why your vm hung on the vmdk file until the lock has been released. Don't know what happened to the 2nd vmdk file, but the file vmware.log in virtual machine directory must have some info as to why does not start the virtual machine. If the 2nd vmdk is gone, this might be a reason.

    Hello

    1. it doesn't matter that the 'connected' is checked which is normal. "Connect at power on" is important and must be checked that it is on the screenshot.

    2. now, change the "autodetect" option to point to your 'real' cdrom device (that this laptop has).

    3 If this does not convert your cdrom ISO image 2003 and load through the second option that says "use an iso image.

    4. If this still does not work there is only one possible "your 2003 cdrom is NOT bootable. The fact that it autoruns IN Win7 does not mean that is bootable. You should check by placing it in a different machine of cdrom, restart this computer, bios in order to boot from CDROM/DVD first and see if the change boots. If it does not start even from there then for sure this cd is NOT bootable. So, the important thing is to load the cd on time to start and not inside the operating system to work.

    5. try to download an iso of the trial of the internet windows Server 2003 and use that one to see what is happening.

    6. create a new virtual machine and try here or even better to try another machine with Workstation 8 and see what happens.

    7. it is no coincidence if the CD-ROM drive is not recognized within the virtual machine.

  • need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment of the vm

    Hi all

    I have a script to deploy a computer virtual to a CSV file. I need to change the configuration of virtual machine (CPU and memory) after the deployment of the vm. where the name of the virtual machine should be taken to csv. So any help is appreciated.

    Attach the script used. (downloaded and works fine)

    $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

    {foreach ($vm to $vms)

    $Template = get-model $vm.template

    $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

    $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

    $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

    New-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - VMHost - $VMHost model $Template - $Datastore - Datastore RunAsync

    }

    # This cmd need to run after the vm deployment completed. The virtual computer name must come from the 1 column of the CSV file

    Set-VM $vmname - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

    Write-Host "All VMs deployed" - ForegroundColor Green

    Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

    CSV file looks like this

    Name, host datastore, Template, customizing

    Test-VM,vm-dep-test,ESX02,P5-vm-stage,vm-deploy

    Thanks in advance...

    A simpler, but not optimal, solution is to use the Wait-job cmdlet.

    Something like that

    $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

    $tasks = @)

    {foreach ($vm to $vms)

    $Template = get-model $vm.template

    $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

    $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

    $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

    $tasks += new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - model $Template - VMHost $VMHost '

    Data - $Datastore - RunAsync store

    }
