Using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store
I am host migration between 3.5 and 4.0, and part of the migration requires me to vmotion data to a single shared LUN data warehouses. From there on, I import the virtual machine in 4.0 and using the script to migrate the two VM disks at different stores of data below. The problem I have is that the configuration (vmx) file not migrated and is left on the shared storage LUNS. Anyone knows how to go beyond this?
The Script:
$VMDisk = 'disk 1 '.
$VMName = 'TestVM '.
$TargetDS = get-Datastore - VMHost (Get-VMHost-$S.id Id) | Where-Object {$_.} Name - like "PMV"} | "" FreeSpaceMB tri-objet-descending | SELECT name - first of all 1
$vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"Name" = $VMName}
foreach ($dev in $vm. Config.Hardware.Device) {if ($dev. DeviceInfo.Label - eq $vmDisk) {$diskId = $dev. Key}}
$spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
$diskspec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
$diskspec. Data store = (Get-Datastore-name $TargetDS.Name |) Get - View). MoRef
$diskspec.diskId = $diskId
$spec. Disk = @($diskspec)
$task = get-View ($vm. RelocateVM_Task ($spec, "lowpriority"))
OK, I think I understand your problem now.
I fear that in the current construction of PowerCLI, the Move-VM cmdlet does not destinations of individual data for each virtual hard disk store.
With the RelocateVM_Task method, it is possible.
The following script moves a guest at 3 different data warehouses:
-the. VMX file for DS2
-hard disk 1 for DS3
-hard drive 2 TB DS4
$vmName = "MyGuest"
$vmxDS = "DS2"
$osDS = "DS3"
$dataDS = "DS4"
$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
$vm.Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.Device | %{
if ($_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Hard disk 1"){
$osDiskId = $_.Key
}
elseif($_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Hard disk 2"){
$dataDiskId = $_.Key
}
}
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
$osRelocate = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
$osRelocate.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $osDS).Extensiondata.MoRef
$osRelocate.diskId = $osDiskId
$dataRelocate = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
$dataRelocate.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $dataDS).Extensiondata.MoRef
$dataRelocate.diskId = $dataDiskId
$spec.Disk = @($osRelocate,$dataRelocate)
$spec.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $vmxDS).Extensiondata.MoRef
$spec.Host = $vm.Extensiondata.Summary.Runtime.Host
$task = Get-View ($vm.Extensiondata.RelocateVM_Task($spec, "lowpriority"))
while("running","queued" -contains $task.Info.State){
$task.UpdateViewData("Info")
sleep 5
}
BTW, you can use the cmdlet Set - hard disk to a virtual disk that is specific to a data store.
But as I understood what is not possible in your environment.

Cannot migrate the physical files using OPE utility loader
Hi friends,
With my problem of submodel still pending, I am facing another problem - 'Migration to XML Publisher rtf templates'.
I went through the document (DocId:Note 469585.1) regarding 'How to use OPE Loader?'
The document contains commands for the DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD of physical files.
Before you run these commands, I executed the following commands to migrate the "data Definitions" and "Definitions". The commands are the following:-
[crp2appl@erptrg CRP2_erptrg] $ FNDLOAD apps/apps 0 Y DOWNLOAD $XDO_TOP/patch/115/import/xdotmpl.lct corptmpl.ldt XDO_DS_DEFINITIONS APPLiCATION_SHORT_NAME = "SQLAP" DATA_SOURE_CODE = "XXAPCORPCHQPRT" TMPL_APP_SHORT_NAME = "SQLAP" TEMPLATE_CODE
= "XXAPCORPCHQPRT".
[crp2appl@erpdev CLN2_erpdev] $ FNDLOAD DOWNLOAD apps/apps $0 XDO_TOP/patch/115.
Import/xdotmpl. LCT corptmpl.ldt
After running these two commands, the "definition of data" and "details of the model" are migrated but not physical rtf files.
At this point, I tried to run the following command to the physical integrity (rtf) file migration which is given in the document mentioned above.

I spent over an hour searching yesterday evening and I give up. Googling gave me 3 possible locations on a Windows machine and a bunch of pages on * nix and Mac locations. I use the client on a Windows 7 box. I looked into the Program Files folder (at the regular time and x 86) folder VM, I looked into the root of my C:, D: and E: drives, I looked in the \Users\...\My Documents... nothing. I did a file search for * vmx * and found a few files that are part of Norton Ghost. This shouldn't be so hard.
Connection for the vSphere Client, select the ESXi host and click on the tab "Configuration". You will find the data store (s) under "storage". Click with the right button on the data store and open it with the browser 'Datastore '. Each virtual machine must contain a vmx file.

I received a picture of virtual machine of a client and cannot now save the file on my server ESXi 5.5 vmx. I get the status in the (invalid) "Unknow" inventory list
Error logs were attached.
What can be the reason for this problem?
I changed this line, but the issue could not be resolved.
I discovered that VM Ware Converter 5.5 can handle the coversion to lesser versions VM and my ESX Server 5.5 can now save the converted virtual machine.
I could also convert the virtual VM Ware Player format machine. VM Ware Player can handle too.

Cannot migrate the MRS server to the data store different
Our SRM server is a virtual machine. I need to pass the different VM SRM to a data store, but when I do a migration, it allows me to choose the data store, but then I get an error
"This unchecked method by ' moref = vm-186.
I stop the MRS server to move?
I had solved it. I tried to stop the SRM server, but I couldn't move it yet. I found myself by opening a ticket with VMWare. They come back with a 2008957 knowledge base article. Although this article does not reference the same exact error, the workaround solution provided (remove from the VCenter inventory, browse the data store and make a 'add to inventory' on the VMX file) seems to have taken care of the issue

How can I register all of the VMX files found in a list of stores of data with new names
Hello-
I'm trying to find a way to search through a given list of data and each discover a warehouse. VMX file, add this machine in the inventory I want to prepend the name of the machine as something different. That is to say, instead of "Machine1", I wish it were registetred as "auto-Computer1. So, imagine I have an empty data center with 4 warehouses of data stored in a table $arrDatastoreToInclude. I want to loop through each of these data stores and add all the VMX files I found back in the inventory.
I know that I can use the following to get data warehouses I want:
$dsindatacenter = get-data center $DataCenterName | Get-Datastore? | {$arrDatastoreToInclude - contains $_.} Name}
But I have no idea how to analyze these data stores for the VMX files and what command to add them in the inventory. Can anyone help?
Try the following, it is based on the script of the position that Robert mentioned.
You will need to provide a file (in $VMFolder) where unregistered virtual machines will be stored.
The Set-VM cmdlet will take care of the rename.
$DatacenterName = "MyDatacenter" $arrDatastoreToInclude = "DS1","DS2","DS3","DS4" $dc = Get-DataCenter $DataCenterName $dsindatacenter = Get-Datastore -Datacenter $dc | ?{$arrDatastoreToInclude -contains $_.Name} $VMFolder = "MyFolder" $ESXHost = Get-VMHost -Location $dc | select -First 1 foreach($Datastore in $dsindatacenter) { # Collect .vmx paths of registered VMs on the datastore $registered = @{} Get-VM -Datastore $Datastore | %{$_.Extensiondata.LayoutEx.File | where {$_.Name -like "*.vmx"} | %{$registered.Add($_.Name,$true)}} # Set up Search for .VMX Files in Datastore New-PSDrive -Name TgtDS -Location $Datastore -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\' | Out-Null $unregistered = @(Get-ChildItem -Path TgtDS: -Recurse | where {$_.FolderPath -notmatch ".snapshot" -and $_.Name -like "*.vmx" -and !$registered.ContainsKey($_.Name)}) Remove-PSDrive -Name TgtDS #Register all .vmx Files as VMs on the datastore foreach($VMXFile in $unregistered) { New-VM -VMFilePath $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder | Set-VM -Name ("Auto-" + $_.Name) } }Unregistered virtual machines will be saved with Displayname that is present in the VMX file.
If this would cause a conflict with VM already registered, you can use the Name of the cmdlet New-VM parameter

Remote Desktop error
I use Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to use the remote desktop connection application, but all of a sudden, it stopped working. When I try to run it I get this message:
_________________
The system cannot find the specified file.C:\Windows\System32\
\mstsc.exe.MUI
_________________Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I do not have this file into C:\Windows\System32\en-US\... but perhaps it was corrupted somehow?
Please help me. Thanks in advance.
Hello
It seems that there are a few system files that have trouble. One of them being mstsc.exe, I wish you find spyware or infection by the virus first, before you try the next step. Please see the sticky thread in the security forum. MVP offers some good advice how to remove these problems.
If everything is clean, we will try a repair installation to replace the problem files and also to ensure that other system files are good.
The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data. Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation. Do not boot from the DVD.
If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.
- When the Setup program starts and the install now screen, click install now.
- Note When you receive the important Get updates for installation message, click go online.
- Click upgrade when the which type of installation you want? appears
Please let us know if this solves the problem for you.

I'm testing the integrity of the addon ".cab" packages and patches by installing using the Package Manager (pkgmgr.exe), or alternatively, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool (DISM.exe) for Windows 7. To do this, I am aware that I have to call a tool through the command line.
In the Package Manager, I use the syntax
Command prompt > pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:C:\Test\test.cab
Otherwise, I might add the path in quotes:
"Command prompt > pkgmgr.exe /ip /m:"C:\Test\test.cab.
The error returned in pkgmgr is:
Operation failed with 0 x 80070002. The system cannot find the specified file.
My first impression was that my syntax is incorrect, although I can't have room for error. The path points to "test.cab" which is a renamed windows addon that contains the necessary file "svcpack" and the file "entries_XX.ini". I used several different ".cab" file, that which some I know to be genuine, hopefully exclude the possibility of a corrupted or incompatible file. I also tried this procedure on different computers and received the same error code, so I doubt that the tool pkgmgr istelf is corrupt.
Finally, I tried an alternative Windows 7/8 DISM tool to try to achieve essentially the same task by using the following syntax in a command prompt:
"Commnand prompt > DISM.exe / Online /PackagePath:"C:\Test\test.cab Add-Package ".
This produces a similar error:
An error occurred trying to open it - C:\Test\test.cab error: 0 x 80070002
Error: 2
The system cannot find the specified file.
The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.logI'm really not sure why I produce these errors. Any idea is appreciated.

Hi all
Tried my level best to solve, but still the same problem persists. . Lck tried but as soon close VMware workstation, it disappears. This problem starts when yesterday instead of powering down, suspended. The next resume when it gives captioned error. Tried creating new virtual machine using an existing vmdk file but my mainly all the data disappeared. Now I want to resume the suspended state. Kindly help on the same. Thank you
OK, we will first focus on the first virtual disk (System) on the D: drive which has enogh of disk space to create a clone.
The "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk" dated from 19/07/13 is probably exactly what we need, and if it has approximately the same size of file than current/changing, then you can replace the one changed with it. Once restored, proceed as follows (with VMware Workstation closed):
from the command line run:
cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation" cd /d D:\win2k3 md Clone C:vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition-000002.vmdk" -t 0 "Clone\Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
Once the cloning done so, create a subfolder "Backup" and move all over existing files (as a backup). Copy the .vmx file and .vmxf the subdirectory "Backup" in the D:\win2k3 folder, then do the same with the file hard cloned since the 'Clone' subdirectory, so that you end up with the following files:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmx
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmxf
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk
Before you can try to start the virtual machine, you must edit the .vmx file and replace
scsi0:0. FileName = "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition - 000002.vmdk"
with
scsi0:0. FileName = "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
Please do the above and report. If you have any questions please ask.

Need help updated the VMX file on several Virtual Machine
All,
Can anyone help with a problem I'm having? Here is a brief explanation of what is happening and what we need to solve.
Recently we found out that we need to add a line in the file VMX of several virtual machines. In the past, I was able to do this, but would have cold start the virtual machine for the changes to take effect. Starts cold won't be a problem, because we can program it.
However, no one knows a way to add this line in the file VMX virtual machines in a cluster.
Here's the line I need added:
Devices.hotplug = "false".
Here is a script that was used earlier (esx 3.0 days) to keep the VM tools updated on reboot. At this point, if the virtual machine has been turned on, this change could not do through the UI. However, this script worked to update the .vmx file and then we have cold reboots for the changes to take effect.
Get-viserver - < Server > - < user > - < password >
$viview = get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | foreach-object {get-view ($_.ID)}
$viview | {foreach-object
$vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
$vmConfigSpec.Tools = new-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterPowerOn = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterResume = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestStandby = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestShutdown = 'True '.
$vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle".
$_. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)
}The exact script can be found in Disable HotPlug

Hi all
I use version 2.1 of WINPE. It works with ipv4 network services.
I have a "Windows2008R2" machine in my network. In this server I am running a DHCPv6 server in my network. This server is the allocation of IPv6 addresses to all computers that have the OS Vista and Win7, etc (for vista and above).
But I'm not able to receive the ipv6 address for winpe2.1 pc which is my test pc.
What are the basic things I should do to receive the IPv6 ip address.
If you please suggest me that how I can solve this problem.
I tried to have run the command as "ipconfig /renew6" but he throwed an error
An error occurred during the renewal of the Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1: the system cannot find the specified file.
It is very urgent for me. I ask if anyone knows the steps so that the WINPE2.1 system get IPV6 will be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

My laptop does not start all of a sudden upward - it crosses the safe mode screen, acts as if it is loading windows (display the windows screen) then becomes to empty, followed by a very quick flash of the message on a blue screen: "the registry cannot load the hive (file): \systemroot\system32\config\software or its log or replacing." It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing. "Then, he repeats the cycle.
I looked towards the top of the error on the Microsoft Knowledge base, and the hotfix request using the recovery disk, I. I wonder how I can get the interactive help on laptop computer file so that I can run so that it fixes the problem... (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545).
Advice, that someone could give me so that I can at least get started again windows go down all the important data before reinstalling Windows would be much appreciated.

Hey Chris,
Thank you for visiting the Windows Xp forum
I was wondering if you run a retail or OEM of Windows version. If you are using an OEM version of windows, you will need to use the recovery options you have from the manufacturer of your computer. If you run a commercial version, feel free to follow the article in the knowledge base you have found.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 how to recover a corrupted registry
I was also wondering if you have another computer to work? If so and you feel comfortable or know someone who can remove the hard drive from the computer and connect it to another computer. You can view the disk hard kit to join. Once the hard drive is connected, you can go in my computer and copy all the files to another hard disk.

There is no disk that came with it, but I have anouther computer with the same windows. I tried to find a way to make a BOOT disk but cannot find a way. Is there a way to solve this problem with the windows disc?
It's a pretty popular mistake these days and sometimes easy to get running, but you also want to figure out how it happened. I always suspect Symantec/Norton products with this error, but we'll see.
If you currently or have already had a whole isntalled Symantec/Norton products, what are the names and versions (if you know).
Other variants are:
STOP: c0000218 {Registry file failure}
The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SECURITY or its log or replacing. It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing.STOP: c0000218 {Registry file failure}

The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SYSTEM or its log or replacing. It is damaged, missing, or not accessible in writing.I would start with a chkdsk/r since the recovery CD of Console you make (see below) and please answer a few questions...
Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time. It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.
Please provide additional information on your system:
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
Fill in the blank: my system was working fine until this happened: _.
If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?
If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.
This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.
You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.
The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:
xp_rec_con. ISO
Download the ISO from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig
Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:
Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:
http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61
It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.
You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive. These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load. If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.
When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:
Press any key to boot from CD...
Installing Windows... going to pronounce.
Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.
Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)
You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).
You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS. It's the same as the
C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.
The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.
For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.
In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.
Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem. It won't hurt anything to run it.
Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:
CHKDSK C: /r
Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.
It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck". Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something. Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress. It may even seem to go back sometime.
You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.
Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.
You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
Do, or do not. There is no test.

Hi jamesgillwn,
1. when exactly you get this error message?
2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.
First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.
To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.
Try the steps from the following link:
Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".
