• Problem with the mouse and the network after the upgrade VMware Tools and hardware to virtual machine

  Hello world...

  I just upgrade my ESX 3.5 servers to vSphere 4.1. All this work is very well with the upgrade right now.

  After that, I tried to mise a niveau of VMware Tools and hardware of VM for my virtual machine and the problems started.

  I tried with two different VM (the two Windows 2003) and the problem appears for the two VM.

  I don't want to test another VM of the different operating system now, I'm afraid to go too far with update of Pentecost the problem I have now.

  I tried two VM to be sure that the problem is not only on a virtual machine.

  First of all, the mouse.

  My mouse has jerky movement. The button works, but sometimes I have to click several times to select what I want.

  I tried to uninstall the mouse in Device Manager and reinstall, but not really Pentecost improvement which (buttons works better, but... not so sure).

  Second problem.

  After you restart the server after VMmware tools and hardware virtual machine, the network link not working anymore.

  When I go to my network card configuration, IP settings are reset in DHCP mode.

  If I go again all my IP settings, Windows says:

  The IP address is hidden from the network and Dial-up connections

  folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a riser

  It does not work. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and

  they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result

  in the incorrect system configuration. You want to enter a different IP address

  address of this adapter in the list of IP addresses for this card in the list

  Advanced IP address in the dialog box

  If I answer Yes to this, I have to enter a new IP address, and of course, this is not what I want to do.

  If I don't answer, the network working again.

  I think it is a strange message but the work of the vSphere maybe network now.

  Anyone have any idea why my work network and mouse as this upgrade after.

  All other VM that is not upgraded so far works great.

  Thanks in advance...

  (1) make sure that your hardware acceleration is safe enough. I got the upgrade down my hardware acceleration several times already.

  (2) sounds like the new drivers for your NIC cards took over and VMware is basically a new card NETWORK for you. Follow these steps to disable it:

  (a) open a command prompt

  (b) type (without quotes): 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1' and press ENTER.

  (c) type (without the quotes): "start devmgmt.msc"

• Upgrade VMware tools and hardware on vSphere

  Hello

  After a few questions, I seem to be a host to complete my move to vSphere, and I'm looking at the next steps - VMWare tools and update virtual machine hardware.

  Now, it seems reasonable to me to upgrade to VMWare tools, but the material I'm undecided.

  As I see it, VMware tools requires a reboot, I won't be able to do in working time, but that's just a reboot (sure of 60 odd servers, but still it is probably worth the time spent), but the material of vmware seems not critical for me? VMS seem to be running ok (Mix of Linux, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008) and I wonder if I'll get all the benefits of the upgrade of these? Is there something that puts me in danger if I let the computer virtual hardware version 4?

  It is mainly a question I have organize downtime, and the upgrade seems not smooth at all (completely detach existing NIC? Loss of MAC address I linked to the servers of licenses etc.) so if there is no benefit at this point, I'll be ok to keep the version 4?

  All advice appreciated, if I missed anything big I'd appreciate knowing what!

  Thank you!

  Hello.

  You will miss out on some of the new features Virtual material, but if you're not having performance issues it is in somewhat of a moot point.  The biggest potential problem is leaving all these VMs v4 and runs the risk of another (or one that follows) version of vSphere perhaps not material no longer v4 support.  Hardware upgrades are inevitable, so it's really just a matter of do it now or do it later.  If you are comfortable delaying the inevitable, so there is no reason to upgrade to v7 now.

  Good luck!

• Update VMware Tools on specific servers

  Hello

  I developed the following script, using various sources, I found on the internet, which I run from the virtual Center Server to update VMware tools on a number of servers:

  ' $insParm = "/ s v" /qn REBOOT = ReallySuppress "'
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Configure the variables
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Host name of the server #VM
  $VMServer = "06W8F5VC01".
  #User account to connect to the virtual infrastructure:
  $username = "root".
  
  #Directory path to the list of targets of VM.
  $updList = get-Content "C:\users\jmilano-adm\desktop\serverlist.txt".
  
  Write-Host "Serverlist: ' $updList
  write-host
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Connect to the VM Server
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # $server = to connect-VIServer-Server $VMServer - User $username
  $server = to connect-VIServer-Server $VMServer
  #Search for specific VM in the production cluster:
  #$folder = get-file-name "Financial Hosts' #Target financial Hosts file in the VM Infrastructure Client console
  $cluster = get-Cluster-name 'MEL_Cluster_01 '.
  
  Write-Host "cluster Var: ' $cluster
  
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Main()
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  foreach ($uVM to $updList)
  
  {
  $vm = get-VM-name $uVM - location $cluster
  
  #$VM.name
  write-host "
  write-host "host to upgrade:" $VM.name
  
  #$uVM.UpgradeTools_Task ($insParm)
  UPDATE-TOOLS - VM $VM. Name - RunAsync - NoReboot
  
  write-host "
  write-host "host has been improved.
  
  #Wait 30 seconds before you start another task update
  Start-sleep - s 30
  }

  I tested the script and it works very well, but what I want to do is change it so that it performs the following:

  * Check this box when the line read from the ServerList.txt file is empty. If Yes, read the next line.

  * Check the virtual server to verify that the VMware Tools is indeed obsolete. If so, update.

  * Check if the server has no VMware tools. If it is not the case, install the latest version.

  To create a log file on the server on which the script is run.

  * Check if the installation was successful in fact. Add this information to the log file.

  Pls know me what changes I need to run the script to reflect the foregoing. Thank you

  Thinking about your questions. Here it is:

  
  #* Checks the virtual server to verify that the VMware Tools is indeed out of date. If so, update it. 
  
   foreach($vmItem in $vm) {
    if($vmItem.extensiondata.guest.toolsStatus -ne "toolsOK"){
     #Possibilities:
     # - toolsOk
     # - toolsOld
     # - toolsNotRunning
     # - toolsNotInstalled
  
     write-host "Vmware Tools is Not ok, upgrading...";
     UPDATE-TOOLS -VM $vmItem.Name -RunAsync -NoReboot
  
    }else{
     write-host "Vmware Tools Ok, no need to upgrade";
    }
  
   }
  #* Check if the server does not have VMware Tools. If it does not, install the latest version.
   I think the earlier script will work fine to this condition. Please tell, if not.
  
  #* Create a log file on the server which the script is being run.
   You can use the Measure-object cmdlet to see how long it took to run the script.
  
  #* Verifies if the installation actually succeeded. Add this information to the log file.
   After the Measuring, you can query again the Vmware Tools Status or create a looping to try more times till Vmware tools is readed as OK

  It seems that the cmd needs more arguments, but I cannot find anywhere that I should or Arguments that you can use for this cmd.

  doooooh! reading too fast! You are right!!!

  I tried right now option. Inside vimsh, no problem, it works ok and gives what is supposed to output.

  I have run the command from the shell I non-interactive mode and gives the same error!

  I'll give it a glance, because it is not the first parameter that I can't change vimsh...

• How to get the string (specified by row and column) of txt file with labview

  Hello world

  How to get the string (specified by row and column) of txt file with labview

  THX

  As far as I know, a text file has no column.  Be more specific.  Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where the words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character?  You can read from the spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space.  This will produce a 2D channels table.  Then use the table to index and give the line number and column number.

• Linux VMware Tools and their dependencies

  Hello

  I want to install VMware Tools on one Linux Virtual MACHINE created with Workstation 10.x for Windows.

  Ce Linux distribution drift since Ubuntu 13.10.

  Je would like to know What packages are needed for a correct installation et configuration of these Tools.

  Also, I have would like to know If there is a Ubuntu repository where to download and install the latest version of these Tools.

  Thank you

  Good bye

  What is the difference between VMware Tools and Open Virtual Machine Tools?

  Copy and paste this question into Google!

  By chance, you have your repository in order to always download the latest version?

  I use only VMware tools and always uninstall first Open Virtual Machine Tools and also use - clobber-kernel-modules = if necessary when installing the VMware Tools on the distributions that have Open Virtual Machine Tools installed.

• tools and hardware upgrades through the update after the upgrade Manager

  If I run a base line to upgrade tools and equipment of vmware, then choose restore, is a clever enough Update Manager to make tools first and then perform the upgrade of hardware vm? I have a few machines I moved from 4.1 to 5.1 and the two operations must be made. I don't know if I have to do both together or separately.

  This logic is incorporated in the Update Manager if you use grouping Baseline: basically, create a group with the material and baselines Tools, join group reference VM (s) that interest you and to fix. Otherwise, you can make sanitation through autonomous base lines - in this case, you would need address first, then hardware tools.

• VMware tools and host of virtual hardware upgrade process

  We currently have 8 guests esx4 we plan to upgrade to esxi5.  Our downtime window is relatively low.  We should have sufficient time to upgrade all hosts, but I'm not so sure that we will be able to get all the vm tools and equipment as well updated.  Is there a common question VMs on the older virtual hardware and vm versions tools until our next maintenance window?

  Or would it be best to try to get half of the hosts and all the computers upgraded this time and the other half next time?  We have not all hosts the value automatically vmotion machines so that they remain in place unless you have an accident.  In addition, in this scenario is any problem to launch half esx4 and the other half to esxi5?

  Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Is there a common question VMs on the older virtual hardware and vm versions tools until our next maintenance window?

  There is no problem.  Your guests will not be able to take advantage of some of the new features added with vHardware 8, but as they are upgraded they will be.

  http://www.VMware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vSphere-ESX-vCenter-Server-50-new-features.html

  y at - it no problem running esx4 half and half to esxi5

  No worries there, too.  The only thing that you must do is upgrade to VMFS5.  The bed and breakfast vSphere5 no cannot be able to see a LUN VMFS5, but everyone can see and use a LUN VMFS3

• Registration of the VMWare Tools? No created log file

  Hello

  I have SuSE Linux with VMWare Tools.

  I add in the /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf

  [record]

  Journal = true

  log.file="/var/log/VMwareTools.log".

  log. Level = Debug

  But the file does not create or write.

  What I did wrong?

  Is it a problem that the 'free' VMWareTools was insalled before?

  I would like to know why the Scripts:

  / usr/sbin/pre-freezescript and/usr/sbin/postthaw-script

  are not start if I run a snapshot

  Thank you

  You configuration in /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf should look like this:

  [record]
  Journal = true
  vmtoolsd. Level = debug
  vmtoolsd. Handler = file

  vmtoolsd. Data = /var/log/vmtoolsd.log

  See the following article:

  Enabling debug logging for VMware Tools within a guest operating system

  With these settings, I can get logging to work in a prompt of SuSe VM.

  I would like to know why the Scripts:

  / usr/sbin/pre-freezescript and/usr/sbin/postthaw-script

  are not start if I run a snapshot

  To start the file names must be:

  usr/sbin/pre-antifreeze-script

  usr/sbin/post-thaw-script

  These files must also be executable with 0755 permissions and owner root. Make sure that it is set to script files.

  Also you can check the file vmware.log of the VM on the data store that records messages related to the VM of ESXi host point of view.

• Install / / update VMWare Tools without physical disk drive

  Hello

  just installed VMWare Player, then Linux Mint 17 on my desktop pc and my laptop. Worked perfectly on my desktop pc, while on the laptop when I click on install vmware tools, nothing would happen. I guess this is because the laptop is not a physical drive so I can only add a CD/DVD drive with the .iso option and then VM Player cannot load the iso required for installing the tools. Anyway, I left my office laptop the source tarball and has installed but for some reason, the vmware interface settings player says I have to update my tools in order to use 3D acceleration. Once again... I can't install the update in the usual way for so I click on install, nothing happens.

  Any ideas?

  Was able to install successfully by using this

• VMware Tools and VM migration

  I have a question: -.

  Suppose we have a esxi host with 2 versions one with esxi4.1 and another with esxi5.5 and vm is running on esxi5.5 with the latest vmware tools but with material 7. is it possible to migrate this virtual machine to esxi4.1 without any problems even with vmware to update tools?

  From the link I provided above:

  Extended support of the VMware Tools does two things:

  1. it allows virtual computers running older versions of VMware Tools to operate in a supported configuration on more recent versions of ESXi.

  2. it allows the VMS running newer versions of the VMware tools to run in a supported configuration on older versions of ESX/ESXi.

  So, the answer is YES, you can run a virtual machine with VMware Tools of ESXi 5.5 on an ESXi 4.1 without problem.

• VMware tools create too many temporary files on the server TS user profiles

  Hi guys,.

  I have problems with the TS and Citrix servers where we have a restriction very strick to profile normally around 30 MB sizes. Temporary files of VMware tools normally use 10-18MB and this affects many users when opening large spreadsheets and we have to keep manually delete the files.

  You guys can suggest alternatives here please? Hosts run ESXi 4.1

  Thank you!

  You can work around the problem by changing a value in this registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\

  Workaround disables the functionality of VMware shared folders in the virtual machine.  Because the feature is not supported by ESX Server or GSX server, turn it off is not a problem. However, if you migrate the virtual machine to the workstation, you not have access to VMware files shared unless you re-enable the feature.

  Warning: This procedure is to modify the registry. Incorrect changes to the registry can leave your system unstable or cannot run. Always back up the registry before you edit it and be cautious to make changes to the registry. VMware assumes no responsibility for the problems that may arise.

  1. Access the Windows registry. Choose Start > run, and then type regedit. The window of the Registry Editor opens.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order\.
  3. Click ProviderOrder , and then click change. In the edit string value dialog box, change the data value chain and remove the word hgfs (or vmhgs).
     • For example, if the string data value contains LanmanWorkstation hgfs (or LanmanWorkstation, vmhgs) , and then replace it by LanmanWorkstation.
     • If the value data string contains hgfs (or vmhgfs), then delete it and leave the value data string empty.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Close the registry editor. Choose file > output.
  6. Restart the virtual machine.

  If you want to re-enable the VMware shared folders feature, add , hgfs (or vmhgs)

  at the end of the value data string, or a whole chain hgfs ( or vmhgs)

  If it is empty.  Alternatively, you can reinstall VMware Tools, using the Complete

  option to re - activate the shared folders.
