Used conversion HyperV (as Machine Powered) start guest OS

I was a beginner with Hyper V, then our Organization has decided to move to VMWare for the greater power and flexibility.  So now I'm back to raw n00b.

We have two servers host 6 virtual servers.  I moved to a single host, then installed ESXi 4 on another host (which seems to work very well).  Then tried to convert as powered machines HyperV virtual servers.  I have a few errors on sysprep but which seemed to relate to the customization that I wasn't doing.  All servers in 2008 was not purely and simply without traceable error that I could see.

Now when I turn on the 2003 server on the ESXi host via vSphere all I get is the vmware POST screen, then a white, black screen with a cursor underscore near the upper left corner.

I missed a few obvious and vital measures?

see this KB article

http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006296

My guess is that the Hyper-V hosts using IDE, and to be changed in step 3 of the process of conversion to SCSI.  Change to «preserve source» disk controller

In addition, you can try the KB below to manually change the type of controller in the vmx to see if it works

    Start the SSH service.

    If please use WinSCP to connect to your Esxi host and navigate to the folder of the virtual machine as in the screenshot to the suite, I navigated to a folder that is my VM name: Win10A

    and it has a virtual disk, if I want to take the virtual disk of this virtual machine to a different VM, I need to copy the two files that are highlighted.

    the two are to train your virtual disk.

    Download these two files and download them to another folder where you second VM resides, then try to tie it with this virtual machine.

  • One of the disks of rhe in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or a snapshot

    Hi all.

    An apologize for my bad English.

    I have 10 VmWare installed on Linux Centos 5.

    I worked with the Windows 7 virtual machine and hang on it.

    Now when I try to run this VM, I get this message:

    "One of rhe in this virtual machine disk is already used by a virtual machine or a snapshot.

    I try to fix it in this way:

    Re: Could not open the hard file. One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or a s...

    Once again apologize for my English :)





    I really don't see what could be causing the problem, except that there are some .lck files in the subdirectory "lock"!

    Anyway, if worry ends snapshots and the current state is what you need, you can follow these steps (which are close to what you have already done) to merge snapshots of virtual disk in and use this virtual disk to the virtual machine:

    • Close VMware Workstation
    • Create a new subdirectory and move the VM files and folders to backup purposes
    • "" since this subdirectory run: vmware-vdiskmanager-r "Windows 7 x 64 - 000008.vmdk" t 1 '... / X64.vmdk of Windows 7 '
    • Copy the .vmx file to the parent directory and edit it as follows:
      scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows 7 x 64 - 000008.vmdk" --> scsi0:0.fileName = "Windows 7 x64.vmdk"

    Now you should be able to start the virtual machine with the cloned virtual disk.

  • Windows 2000 Pro system/disk physical conversion into virtual machine

    Fairly new to the world of the VM and was directed to VMWare for possibly a problem for us.

    We have a gentleman with an older system running Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) with a ton of software installed.  We put in place a new Win7 Pro system for him, but he won't Cross and reinstall everything (in addition to the time involved, some of the software is older and Win7 compatibility is probably a problem).

    We were originally at a switch KVM allows you to switch between systems, but then I found in the converter and thought this would be a great solution for him.  My thoughts are to use the converter to create a virtual machine from its old system/hard drive and install Player on its new Win7 system, it can fire up to his old Win2000 environment when he needs to work - and we can empty the old physical system.

    I have scanned through the documentation for converter and understood that I would need a version of Converter before 4.3 (like, 4.01 or earlier?).  Now, what should I install on it have to happen?

    Do I need to set permissions on its legacy system to expose the discs on the network?

    Can I get the old HD and connect it to the new system and convert this way?

    Do I need to install something on the source and the host system to do this?

    Once I can understand this point, we may need to conduct a number of other older systems, it keeps alive for the same reasons.

    I guess I should ask first - is that what this application is designed to do?  Or it fits into another software solution?

    Thank you very much for any information/guidance someone can provide - greatly appreciated.

    (PS.  Please don't just live/link me to the documentation.  As mentioned, I went through that, and I'm not real familiar with the setting/process, so that really helped a lot.  Thank you once again.)

    VHDs are used by VirtualBox and VirtualPC
    VMware uses the vmdk files

    You start converter on the Win2000 and tell him to "convert THIS machine.
    It then creates a vmx file plus a vmdk file.

    On the Win7 host you install VMplayer or workstation, and then simply double-click the vmx file... If everything works as expected

  • Report to the size of the list of snapshots that are used by a virtual machine

    I'm looking for to add to my report to the size of all the snapshots that are currently used by each virtual machine.  For example, I'm already reporting on space put into service and used space - but how much space are using snapshots?   Is there a way to get this data using powerCLI?

    Thank you!

    The cmdlet Get-SNapshot in PowerCLI 4.1 returns an incorrect value. See the size snapshot by Dimitar and Vitali.

    And they display a script, called getsnapshotsize - 1.ps1 that returns the correct value.

    You can use this script to your script as follows:

    (1) download the script and save it in the directory where your other scripts

    (2) call the script of the post in your script and use the size of return value

    Something like that

    How should be written the script for the use of the maximum memory of the guest operating system ever?

    Please teach the name of the object and the type and order, etc.

    You should be able to do it with the cmdlet Get-Stat .

    Something like that

    Get-Stat -Entity (Get-VM $vmName) -Stat mem.usage.maximum -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | Measure-Object -Property value -Maximum | Select Maximum
    

    This will return the maximum percentage in the last 7 days for the guests, whose name is stored in the variable $vmName.

  • Install the new virtual machine as a guest of the installation of boot CD

    Hello

    HOWTO install new virtual machine as a guest of the boot installation CD?

    first of all can I mount the CD drive?

    Best way to do is to download the CD image on your server ESX with WinSCP or FastSCP.

    Connect the cd player to the guest for this ISO image and make sure that the option "Connect to PowerOn" is selected.

    If you hav access your esx host you can also insert the cd in the CD drive, ESX host and connect the guest to the host drive. Check the option "connect to PowerOn.

    Start your virtual machine and it should start from CD.

    Hi team,

    I need to configure alarms / Notification each time that the use of the virtual machine JAVA Perm Gen is greater than a threshold value. I don't see all the default rules / corresponding to Perm Gen registry variables.

    Could you please enlighten us in how I can achieve... ?

    A screenshot is attached for your reference.

    Kind regards

    Arun

    I tested it after the previous message which was released indicating that you have an error, the nice thing about Foglight is that it allows to see the measures that exist (as you noted the names are a bit different in this case as the example of the JVM) and it also gives you a test button to validate the expression) , don't forget to make sure that she only appliese to the things that have names like Perm if you want it calculated only for generations of perm.

    Can you please define this thread as answered.

    Thank you
