Unregister a virtual machine does not remove it from the inventory?

Hello

When I cancel the registration of a machine virtual or even destroy with VirtualMachine.Unregister or VirtualMachine.Destroy, it doesn't go away inventory, instead, it becomes grey and straight with (orphans). How can I remove it completely?

Thank you

Shawn

I've seen this happen when you have an ESX server managed by VC and connect directly to ESX to delete the virtual machine. VC is a bit special in that way.

If this applies to you, you can directly remove from VC or maybe write a script that will clean up orphaned VMs from time to time.

  • Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

    When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

    The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

    It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

    I use folder2iso

    To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

  • Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

    I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

    According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

    Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

  • VSphere 5.1: Virtual Machine does not share host RAM

    Hello

    I use a 5.1 Vsphere license (Vsphere 4 update)

    I am facing a problem after the upgrade, virtual machines do not RAM

    As if I have two machine with 2 GB of RAM in total then use of the RAM on the HOST becomes 4 GB but really active memory usage is about 1 GB only.

    It wasn't a problem in Vsphere 4 it shows an active memory as the HOST memory usage but in Vsphere 5 Virtual machine share not RAM and book full RAM when turned on.

    Maybe there's some settings to enable sharing of memory or to disable this full booking of RAM.

    Hello

    The changes are the VMkernel is using large pages to back up virtual memory pages.

    For more information, this article by Duncan will provide enough information and links to other articles on this topic:

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/01/26/re-large-pages-gabvirtualworld-frankdenneman-forbesguthrie/

    In short VMkernel will place pages issued by the VM in large pages on the physical memory to speed up the memory access. Large pages are used when the physical CPU that has functions EPT (Intel) or IVR (AMD).

    I see that you are able to print from your iPhone, but impression of your Windows computer 8.1 gives you problems. There could be a problem with the driver of printing or the application you are printing from.

    To check if you are using the correct printer driver, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing. What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    • Please try printing from another application to help isolate the problem.
    • Do you use a local web or e-mail client application-based e-mail account?

    There could be a problem with the Web browser you are using.

    • If you use a test of email based on web printing from other browsers such as Safari, FireFox or Google Chrome.

    To solve the problem with the problems causing the internet browser, follow these steps:

    Reset your Safari browser settings:

    1. Open your Safari web browser by clicking on the Safari icon in the dock.
    2. Click on Safari from the Safari menu, located at the top of your screen.

    Reset the settings of your Firefox browser:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER. A list of preferences.
    2. Find the print.print_printer preference (Note: this preference is missing in Firefox profiles where you have never used the printer.)
    3. Right-click (context-click) this preference and select reset. (Some users may have to reset all the preferences of print.printer for a particular printer, if this master preference reset does not solve the problem.)
    4. Restart Firefox and see if the problem is resolved.

  • Is there a way to delete and does not host (death) of the inventory?

    Hello

    I'm running Essentials more so I have a limit of three hosts. My VSphere is 5.5 has current running on the device. I have installed and configured a new host and had removed all virtual machines from the old host when he died. Permanently.

    OK, lucky calendar

    but now I want to add my new host to my vcenter and I am unable to do so because the dead host blocks one of my licenses of three hosts. I know I'm supposed to put the old host in maintenance mode, and then remove it but currently there "disconnected" and there is of course no way to restore the link because the material is actually dead.

    Could someone tell me the best way to go?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Murten

    Have you tried to do a right-click on the dead host and select Remove from the inventory.

  • ESXi host goes to the State and the virtual machine does not restart on other host does not

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a solution, in which case the host goes to the State and the virtual machine on it does not restart on a different host (they'll just gray) does not not what could be the problem here and how to fix it

    later when the failed host returns upward machines either go to motor off the coast of the State, or they show that under tension

    While the host is down or not responding do not I am able to ping the host ESXi (5.5) and able to ping the default gateway and the DNS servers of the host itself

  • Resumption of the Suspended virtual machine does not work, "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

    Resume a Suspended computer virtual fails with the message "the specified file is not a virtual disk. Tried to go back to the last snapshot fails with the same message "error restoring snapshot: the specified file is not a virtual disk '. '"

    The virtual machine has worked without delivers up to 21/12/2015 while she was snecessary. I often suspend > resume this machine virtual, but for some reason, I am now getting this error. Please help!

    The file unfortunately doesn't look very promising. It seems that the contents were crushed,

    Unless you have a backup, you can try to replace this file with a file 'empty' hard (e.g. copy Windows 7 x 64-000002-s100. ) ( vmdk) that contains only metadata (size = 327 680), to see if this allows you to use the virtual machine again. Note that you will lose all the data stored in the (corrupt) original hard file, and that the virtual machine will probably suffer file system errors. So make sure that you run chkdsk for all partitions in the guest OS.

    In any case, before doing so, I strongly recommend that you back up the existing files of the virtual machine! Once done, it could also be a good idea to run chkdsk for physical training.

    BTW. do you need all the snapshots? With all these clichés and the size of the virtual disk of the virtual machine, the virtual disk consists of files hard ~ 400.

  • Virtual machine does not start and...

    Dear vmware forums community,

    I have a problem, I use VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

    However, I have some problems using it.

    First of all, VMware does not allow me to start one of my Virtual Machines, when I click on 'Open' Options tab still does not open.

    Secondly, I can't install Virtual Machines since yesterday. These two problems came today when I turned on my host PC.

    I tried to do the two things by using VMplayer, it does the same thing as VMware Workstation.

    I also tried to uninstall VMware and install again and also I tried to delete the .lck files and it does not work.

    Yesterday, when it was all working well, I turned off the virtual machines by the following method, ' turn off this machine "or something like that (I clicked on the cross in the name of the machine)

    I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

    In this case - even if you have already uninstalled/installed VMware Workstation - I would recommend that do you it again. This time, clean install and reboot the system before you re-install. How to clean and a script, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1308

  • Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

    It shows:

    This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    Hello

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

    Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

    See also:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

    You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.
