Using the converter to migrate from ESX 3.0.1 to 4.0 U1 replace NIC

Hello

I'm moving some VMS ESX 3.0.1 stand-alone has a new cluster of ESX 4.0 Update 1.

The migration is successful, but I can't find the right order of things, so that the NETWORK card is not replaced during the conversion.

I have shut down the virtual machine and choose to import as a former ESX virtual machine to the new ESX.

Then, I tried several methods:

-Convert and keep revision 4 material

-Convert and edit the review of material 7 during conversion

-Convert and edit the review of material 7 and upgrading VMware Tools during conversion

I know that VMware tools must be upgraded before upgrading the virtual hardware, so maybe it's why this last two options does not work.

After I've converted virtual machine and stayed at revision 4 of hardvare, the virtual machine still had a new NETWORK card when starts for the first time.

How can I make the right way and keep the NETWORK map with all the settings intact during the conversion?

Thanks in advance!

With the converter, you can create a new virtual machine with a new MAC address, why Windows (and Linux with udev) guest operating system will create a new vNIC.

You can try to save your configuration with netsh and restore it later.

    Vista to XP question

    Can I use the product windows XP from my old CPU key to downgrade my new processor from Vista to XP?

    N ° decommissioning requires installation of XP from an XP installation cd and a retail product key.  If XP is preinstalled on the old computer, the product key on the label is valid for the copy of XP OEM is installed on your old computer, even if it is still on the old computer.   An OEM license is not transferable to any other computer.

    Before you plan to install XP on your new computer you must visit the manufacturer's Web site to see if the XP drivers are also available.

  • problems migrating from esx 3.5 to esxi 4.1

    Hello everyone,

    Migrate a virtual machine by host ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.1 host.
    No error message or anything.
    I turn on the virtual machine and it gives error "... the file specified is not a virtual disk' to refer to the vmdk.
    In the control settings and see that the drive is properly configured.
    The control data store and I see that the file is there.
    I move the virtual computer on the old host, to verify that nothing has damaged and magically continues without problems!
    I still move VM on the host 4.1 and gives me the same error.
    Past to comb through the newspaper, join, it seems that there is an inconsistency between the size of the disk and the size declared in descriptor.
    How is the 3.5 function?
    I insist on the fact that all other virtual machines, I moved the host esx 3.5 have absolutely no problem...
    any suggestion is welcome.
    Simon

    You are welcome. Please keep us updated on how it goes.

    Good luck.

    P. S.

    A great advantage to the use of converter is that it leaves the original in place. Assuming that it always works, you have as your backup in the case where it is wrong the first time. If you try power off and things will not try to convert the power on the machine. Install Conveter directly on the machine to duplicate.

  • Migrating from ESX 3.5 to ESXi 4.1

    I am planning a migration of ESX 3.5 Uptade 2 to ESXi 4.1 Update 1 in September.  Material welcomes VI environment is in place for renewal of the lease.  I build the new environment vSphere and attach to the same storage shared as the existing ESX VI 3.5.  My plan is the following...

    1. Get and install a new hardware server (C3000 and BL460C G7).
    2. Installing vCenter 4.1 (leave vCenter in demo mode to expose all the features)
    3. Configure the plugin Update Manager vCenter
    4. Install ESXi 4.1 Update 1 on new hosts and add to vCenter 4.1
    5. Configure the new Cluster and configure HA and vMotion. (We are allowed for vSphere 4.1 Standard Edition)
    6. Linking hosts to Update Manager and sanitize with all updates.
    7. Configure virtual networks (host profiles are an option while in demo mode).
    8. Fix new hosts of VMFS existing databases.  (Data banks are VMFS version 3.31)
    9. Disconnect the Virtual Center 2.5 3.5 ESX host and add them to the new vCenter 4.1.
    10. Cold migrate VM ESX 3.5 hosts ESXi 4.1 bed and breakfast hosts
    11. Upgrade VMware tools on all guests.
    12. Upgrade all the guests computer virtual from version 4 to version 7.
    13. Detach the ESX host 3.5 since VMFS data warehouses.
    14. Remove the ESX 3.5 hosts vCenter 4.1
    15. Install all keys in license vSphere 4.1 (vSphere Standard Edition)
    16. Start the VM guests.
    17. Close and dismantle the old ESX 3.5 hosts.

    Any feedback is most appreciated.  Please let me know if I'm missing something.

    Then, you'd weigh your losses.  Do you have the characteristics of the hardware virtual v7 for these virtual machines or can you live with material v4?  Personally, I needed the changed block tracking which requires hardware v7.  It really comes down to what you need.  I recommend bringing them up to v7 but that's just my opinion.

  • using the converter no option for "Type of Destination." I am allowed only 'VMware Infrastructure virtual machine'

    Hi, I am looking to convert my localhost Ubuntu 9.10 for a machine virtual (vmdk) using vCenter Converter Standalone Client 4.0.1.

    I am at the step #2 (specify the Destination) and I expect to converter to allow me to choose a path to store the hard files.  However, 'Destination Type' does not have any selection - only 'VMWare Infrastructure virtual machine' is available.  (also there is input to the server, username, and password fields)

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Hello

    using vmware converter 4.01 when virtual do physical power machines Linux the only available destination is ESX (i) server.

    One possible way to solve this handicap can be what makes an image of the Linux system using one of support for the products of the image and then use the vmware converter to set up the image of Linux box as a source and destination that it doesn't have to be a server ESX (i)

    If it comes to an eventual conversion, you can use a trial license with the product of the image (e.g. acronis true image or norton ghost).

    Best wishes / Saludos.

  • After using the converter DNG, Lightroom always recognize and import my photos...

    I just started shooting with a Sony A6000 and could not import the photos because of compatibility issues with my current version of lightroom (4.4).  After having read about it on the forums I found that I had to download LR5 or use the DNG Converter and then import into LR.  I opted for the difficulty of the problem free and downloaded (compatible with Sony A6000) v8.4 DNG Converter.  Now, after you convert my photos freshly slaughtered in DNG, I tried to import them into Lightroom with the copy and move functions (because I like the Organization of the files I put in place by LR) but every time I find myself with a dialog box saying "Unable to move a file at the location requested."  In the import window, LR showed clearly previews of images. During the conversion to DNG, I assured photos are compatible with Camera RAW v7.1 and later (my LR a v7.4) and I tried the two built-in Fast Load Data and not... Also, I use a MacBook Pro OS X 10.9 if that makes a difference.  Am I missing something? I don't see what the problem is... All I want to do is to organize and edit my new pictures of my new camera on LR without having to pay an extra $80 for the new LR just because I have a new camera...

    This could be a permissions problem, especially if you use a Mac computer. Make sure that you have write permissions for the folder you are trying to import.

  • Would be to download an ISO and using the genuine product key from CoA work? Is it legal?

    OK... so it's like I have a Dell laptop. It came with a CoA sticker with a product key of Windows 7 Edition family Basic. I know there are options for system recovery, but I don't have a partition or reinstallation of the recovery disks. The fundamental thing, that I want to know is if I download an ISO (which are trial versions, of course, the same version of the COA, win 7 Home Basic Edition) and then use the product key to activate, it'll work. I also want to know how many times I can repeat on the same laptop to reinstall windows using the same product key.

    You can reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer as many times as you want. As to reinstall Windows 7 Home Basic Edition, the option is not immediately available, so you'll have to do an installation disc that allows you to choose Windows 7 Home Basic Edition, see the following for instructions:

    For a DVD that contains all the flavors of 32-bit and a DVD that contains all the flavors of 64-bit Windows 7: Starter, Home Basic , Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate see here.
