• Windows 10 upgrade and Migration of virtual machines

  I have a windows 7 with three Virtual Machines to test an Access application using different versions of Microsoft Office. I have been offered to upgrade, but want to know if my VMs will migrate along. I don't mind if they are Hyper-V, just that I do not lose the machines.

  Thank you

• VMWare Fusion 6 upgrade does not load virtual machines

  I downloaded the demo for VMWare 6, and when I run it, it shows the two virtual machines, I have version 5.0.3, but they say just 'loading... '. "next to them. I never started.

  I have Debian 6 and haiku. They work very well in Fusion 5.0.3. I close them before trying to run 6.

  When I tried to make a new virtual machine, or to open, I get this error message (see image). Note that I have installed Cubase, and it should use the file extension .vmx for some of its files.

  I can't enforce existing virtual machines or create new ones. 5.0.3 continues to operate correctly.

  I have reproduced a problem with Launch Services, leaving the .vmx extension registered for Cubase and not save it properly for the merger. This is a problem in some Apple document standard loading of code that uses the Fusion. I will continue research on the differences between the Fusion 5 and 6 to see how to solve this problem. In the meantime, could you please try the following workaround?

  1 unregister Cubase of launch Services:

  /System/Library/frameworks/CoreServices.framework/frameworks/LaunchServices.Framework/support/lsregister u ' Cubase 7.app/Applications / ".

  2. run merge and make sure that it is able to create and power on virtual machines.

  3 re - record Cubase with Launch Services:

  /System/Library/frameworks/CoreServices.framework/frameworks/LaunchServices.Framework/support/lsregister ' / applications/Cubase 7.app.

  If you have another version of Cubase, or it is installed in a different location, you may need to change the path of the application accordingly.

• The upgrade to 64-bit virtual machines

  We have four ESX 3.5 with processors Intel Xeon E5335 servers. The virtual machines on all of our guests have Windows 2003 R2 32 bit. What should be done to make those 64-bit VMS? I am sure that the processors on my ESX servers are 64-bit capable.

  Thank you

  Well, it's almost the same thing...

  There is no way I know to move from 32 to 64 bits without a destructive installation.

• Web client to modify the virtual machine settings

  We have several VMware environments that I help manage. So that we can train the junior members on the use of VMware, we have a few stand-alone hosts running v5.5u1.

  One of my colleagues copied a VM built with 10 Workstation to this host and received an error message on the VMDK becoming invalid. They tried to solve the problem by getting the host to upgrade the virtual machine. The virtual machine appears now as being "Version VM: vmx-10.

  The network for this virtual computer is set on connects don't not to put under tension, so we have no network on this virtual machine. If we right-click the virtual machine in vSphere Client and choose change settings, we receive this message:

  "You cannot use vSphere Client to change the settings of the virtual version 10 or higher machines.

  
  

  Use the vSphere Client Web to change the settings for this virtual machine".

  I know that the Web Client for stand-alone hosts was not available on 5.1 and I guess that's the same thing with 5.5. Is this correct? My attempts to try to load a page like this fails.

  Y at - there a command I can use 'downgrade' the version of virtual machine to any where I can change the settings with vSphere Client?

  It's not much you can do that and then get stuck without being able to change the settings for the virtual machine. Surely, they could detect if the host is connected to a vCenter and only enable this option if it is... or warn before you perform the upgrade!

  Thank you

  Neil

  You can simply edit the vmx file and edit vmx - 10-vmx - 9.

• How to export/import a virtual machine with ESXi 5

  I use the free version of ESXi 5 and have created a virtual machine that is configured with the software for our project. I would like to share this virtual machine with other members of the team, some of whom are in other places and have slow network connections.  I want to pack the VM in a reasonable size file or a set of files I could ftp (or put it on DVD for people in areas of slow network) that they could then import into their ESXi hosts. The virtual machine has a 60 GB drive that is implemented by using the option 'thin', so it contains only 6 or 7 GB of real data right now.  Is it possible to export the image to a file or set of files that can be imported to another people ESXI host?  Before when I used VM Player we could do this by upgrading backup files in virtual machine directory and copy them to the new machine. With the ESXi data store, I don't know that something like this can be done.  I used vCenter Converter to convert to ESXi Infrastructure VM in VM Player format (and vice versa), but it is extremely slow. I think I might point the Source to my ESXi host and the Destination to a co-workers ESXi host and run a 'conversion' to transfer the files, but I think it would be very slow and impractical for some people to 'slow-network '.  I tried with vSphere Client navigation data store and I see the download options, but when I tried to download a VM directory it just hung.  I enabled ssh on my server ESXi and I found the store of data under/vmfs/volumes and when I look in the folder that contains my VM, there a file myvmname - flat hard which is 60 GB in size, so if I tar the contents of this folder to move elsewhere it will be huge.

  Can anyone suggest a solution?  The licensed version of ESXi would offer better alternatives?

  You can watch export OVF available in the Client vSphere for this function.

• Create the virtual machine in ESX 4

  Hi guys -.

  I do not remember where / y at - it an option to choose the version of the hardware for a virtual machine.  I want to create a model from a RIS server and my dilemma is ESX 4 to create a virtual machine that will be running on ESX 3.5 until the environment is upgraded to 4.0.  I have improved my POC hosts to 4.0 (can only RIS servers in POC environment).  Please let me know if there is an option to change the material to 3.5 instead of 4.0 on my new virtual machine.

  Thank you!!

  Hello.

  When you create the new virtual machine, choose the custom configuration option, then you can specify the version of virtual machine to use.

  Good luck!

• Convert ESX 3.5 in 4.1 virtual machines

  Hello

  I want to migrate from ESX 3.5 to vSphere 4.1. I need to convert a virtual machine or can I just copy them?

  Sorry for my bad English.

  ESXi 4.x supports hardware version 4 virtual machines in order to run virtual machines hosted on your system without modifications 3.5.  It's a good idea to update the VMware Tools after you migrate the virtual computer and if you want to take advantage of the functionality 4.1 you can update the hardware virtual machine (for version 7) once you have migrated the.  You can run machines virtual version 7 on ESX 3.5.

• How to resize a virtual machine using vSphere client

  Hi all

  I have a virtual computer on an ESXi 4 server but I am not able to resize. So far I have stop the virtual machine in vSphere client, selected the settings then went to Hard Disk 1, Disk Configuration section everything is gray so cannot be changed. The type is listed as thick and the version of virtual machine is 7. How can I go on the increase in the size of the disk of this virtual, or any other machine also?

  Thank you

  Jamie

  Remember that you cannot increase the size of a disc if there is a snapshot, but if the option is gryed out, it looks more like a permissions issue.  You do that connected directly to the host of ESXi, or through vCenter?

• Virtual Center audit for virtual machines and ESX hosts

  Hi guys.

  I need to audit a system with 1000 + virtual PCs and hope you guys knew a script floating around in the VMware community who could interrogate Virtual Center for more information on all ESX and VMS hosts. Did anyone done something like this before?

  Looking for information on ESX, versions hostnames, Virtual Machines running on each host and the types of each virtual machine, the IP address of each virtual machine OS.

  Thoughts anyone?

  Thank you

• Upgrade to Version 6 slows down my XP Virtual Machine

  Just upgraded to Fusion version 6.0.3 and starting to regret.  When I start my VM XP processor is given quite a beating, cooling fan comes in.  Once I start trying to use it then everything takes forever.  I tested a number of variants of Windows software prior to release and therefore am and then install by using Add/Remove programs to uninstall.  First of all, it is showing the flashlight looking for about 10-15 seconds as control panel starts and then takes a few minutes to complete the list of programs before they can start to uninstall my program.  Everything I did the upgrade is to allow the merger to upgrade the Virtual Machine.

  Any ideas?

  XP cannot use more than 2 cores, and you are starving the host for resources (this is a 4 core chip).  Downgraded to 2 hearts should help a lot.

• Confused over the upgrades and full versions for Windows 8 on a virtual machine

  Hello

  I am wanting to legally install Windows 8 or 8.1 on a virtual computer. When I look at the Microsoft pages only, they seem to offer Windows 8 one update and I can't find a way to the purchase of a previous version either. Is anyone able to point me to an explanation in plain English what I should buy.

  Thanks for your help.

  If you need to install Windows 8 in a virtual machine, you must purchase the full version of license OEM System Builder. If you need to install Windows 8.1 in a virtual machine, you can buy the license of retail sales (which is a full version) or OEM System Builder License.

• Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) include SP1 is the Virtual Machine for Java (MSJVM) installed on this and future Service Packs Microsoft remove it?

  While the installation of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 c on my Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) operating system (not sure if the 2002 version in it's original state included SP1), EULA (EULA) provided the contract included a paragraph stating that "ONLY in regards to THE VIRTUAL MACHINE MICROSOFT FOR JAVA, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED to INSTALL THIS OS COMPONENT ON A MACHINE THAT CONTAINS A ALREADY the VERSION OF THE MICROSOFT JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE". Assuming that the MSJVM was included with Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002), I advanced and accepted the EULA. I then downloaded and installed Windows XP SP2 and SP3, but wasn't sure whether SP2 and SP3 removed the MSJVM in any point. However, research on the question, I discovered the site "FAQ of Transition MSJVM" (updated May 7, 2004), who answered the question: ' if I install Windows XP SP1a or later, it will remove my current MSJVM? " with "No, the operating system upgrade will not remove a MSJVM existing on the computer" (http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/interoperability/java/faq.aspx). However, I can't find any instance of it on my computer.

  So my questions are:

  1. Windows XP Home (Version 2002) Edition include SP1?
  2. The MSJVM is installed on this version?
  3. SP2 or SP3 removes the MSJVM in any point to?

• Can I upgrade to Windows 7 and keep Vista in a virtual machine environment or a dual boot?

  I use Vista Home Premium and I want to upgrade to windows 7. I love Vista and do not want to abandon it. After the upgrade I can install Vista (same drive, same NR) in a virtual machine in tha same computer.

  N ° if this Vista product key has been used to make the upgrade to Windows7, she is technically still in use and can not be installed on any computer (or even the same machine in VM).  You must either complete a version of installation of Window7 - and you must change the product key or do a clean install (so it no longer an upgrade that will release the Vista product) or you need a copy of the complete installation of Vista with its own product key.

  Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's like that.

  Good luck!
