• Error: Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine requires the external virtual machine

  We are running ESX Vmware 5 on a virtual test in ESX 4.x environment and machine unable to start the virtual machine on Vmware ESX 5. with the following error.

  Error: -.

  Running on a virtual machine VMware ESX requires the external virtual machine is configured to run a VMware ESX guest operating system. You can not power on a virtual machine until the external virtual machine is reconfigured.

  We found after KB

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1030283

  Howerver, I'm not able to find the option

  1. Select the virtual machine that is running ESX.
  2. Go in VM > Settings.
  3. Click the Options tab.
  4. Select the General settings.
  5. Under Guest operating system , select VMware ESX.
  6. Click OK.

  We are not able to find this option in ESX 4, so we can run this VM.

  Please help urgently...

  Kind regards

  The log file looks good now.  However, it seems that ESX 4.0 is older than I remembered.  Please, add the following line to your ESX VM configuration file and try again:

  monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE

• Error loading operating system on the virtual machine

  Recently, I used VMWare Converter Standalone Client 4.01 to p2v my own Windows XP SP3 machine and import it in our server ESXi 4.0.  The conversion completes without error, but when I try to start the virtual machine, it says "error loading operating system."

  This is the first time I used the converter, so all advice here?

  Thank you, Jay

  Use of the disk set.

  Also remember to change the IDE disk, SCSI, I don't remember where that is option but I've seen causing him problems with p2v migration.

• What HA refusing to try to start a virtual machine?

  I'm trying just to clear on how this process works. If HA is enabled, there is a failure of the host, and he's trying to restart the virtual machines on one or several other hosts, when the host will refuse to restart (failover) a virtual machine? Assume that there is no reservation other than the default 37 MHz CPU and some booking fees calculated generals for RAM (these are the default values, right?). A host would continue to attempt to restart the virtual machines as long as there are at least 37 Mhz and a few hundred MB of RAM available for the moment he is trying to restart? And if so, there are algorithms maintains the host master to decide where to start these VMs? I just think that she should try to startups VM alternately between the available hosts and wait a little bit to make sure that there are still some available resources before you start the following, or something like that.

  Also, if there is fragmentation of resources (for example, 8% of availability on each of the 15 hosts), but HA needs to start a virtual machine that requires 15% of host resources (I realize that there is a reserve in order to decide this question of the requirement, even), would automatically make migration of VMS to other hosts (if the DRS is also enabled) or he'd just sorry cannot start this virtual machine, even if the group as a whole has space for him.  [in this case, must not make large reserves because without a reservation, the virtual machine would start upward and like CPU or memory has increased its use would cause some DRS force other virtual machines out of the host, and perhaps that would work.]

  vSphere 5.1 (vCenter and ESXi)

  The master knows where virtual machines are running and try to balance where virtual machines are started. Reservations and overhead costs are the only things taken into account from a point of view of its use (not the actual resources consumed on a host) because HA does what VMs restarted (and if they have reserves prompting these resources, they need to have to start).

  If the DRS is turned on and available, HA will work with DRS to move workloads so that the largest VMs can begin. If you have virtual machines more the thing to think about is what admission control policy you use. It may be wise to use the location function if all your virtual machines are large and close to the same size, or dedicated host of failover so you won't have to deal with shuffling DRS of workloads. Everything depends on your environment and your needs.

  Does that answer your questions?

• Error when you try to clone a virtual machine and then call a script ExternalWFStubs.MachineProvisioned powercli

  Vcac 6

  Hello, I am running a script ExternalWFStubs.MachineProvisioned powercli.  I was using Call of Scripts Powershell/PowerCLI since a Workflow vCAC as reference.

  The script works well after the virtual machine is configured, and it does what it is supposed to do, but the deployed virtual machine is removed when it is finished and the following error is thrown.

  Workflow: WFStubMachineProvisioned

  Details of the results: failed with the following exception: cannot call this function because the current host only implements it.

  Has anyone another vu cela and know what is happening?  I will continue to check and post back with what I find.

  Thank you

  You are able to share the PowerCLI?

• First construction of DEFAULT DOMAIN for "Integrated Weblogic Server" in jDeveloper 12 c gave ERROR: wlst > error occurred during initialization of the virtual machine;

  Hi my community developers estimated!

  I just installed Oracle jDeveloper 12 c as part of the new version BPM Suite 12 c successfully on my LAPTOP.

  However, when I try to create the first integrated default for the weblogic Server domain to run by using the database of embedded JAVA (do NOT use an external Oracle DB) - I get the following error in the log below:

  QUESTION - how/where can I change the ' USER_MEM_ARGS = - Xms32m -Xmx1024m' specification in jDeveloper, to allow a smaller 'MAX MEMORY setting, instead of Xmx1024m"since I DO NOT have enough memory (virtual) on my laptop to create the default domain.

  Thank you very much!

• There are not enough licenses installed... message when you try to start a virtual machine

  This error message has begun to appear today after the migration of a virtual machine and try to restart.  I have all the appropriate licenses.  I even restarted the server vCenter and still nothing.  Where should I start?

• Restore the virtual machine to the new ESX box

  Hello

  I'm new on this.

  I recived a set of virtual machines to another place and I want to restore to the newly created ESX. I followed the steps below to restore.

  Recived files:

  XX_YY. NVRAM

  XX_YY.VMDK

  XX_YY.vmsd

  XX_YY.vmtx

  XX_YY - flat hard

  After I copy all the files above using WinSCP, I could find the "XX_YY.vmdk" is copied to the XX_YY.vmdk.flatfile' which I have one copy of another on the server with the old name using the command #cp XX_YY.vmdk.flatfile XX_YY.vmdk?

  I copied all of the above files using winscp client.

  Open the VI client and browse the storage

  right click on the "XX_YY.vmtx" and add to the inventory

  Add to the popup to open inventory and asks me to enter the name of the template and that I have provided.

  In the next window, I click on finsih, I see the error: "the operation is not supported on the object.

  Any Document that would tell me more info on how to restore / import VM in my newly created ESX box?

  Thanks in advance

  Krishna

  The files are in the format of model already if not the following.

  Simply import the vmdk into ESX using "vmkfstools", then search for the data store, right-click on the vmtx file and select Add to the inventory. Also, you can simply rename the vmtx to vmx file.

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

  My OS:
  Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

  Thanks in advance

  On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)

• Question about backup / restore of virtual machines

  Hi all

  My guard speaks that she always save a Virtual Machine on removable USB memory before she did something to her, in case she should he recovered quickly.

  She does refer in terms of backup? and how she restore from USB flash memory card?

  And I've read a few articles on the backup and restore VMware, but nothing like she said.

  Any ideas would be great.

  See you soon

  You cannot use a USB storage connected to your host to make backups.

  Buy a compatible NAS instead.

• Try to migrate a virtual machine with storage vMotion

  Hello

  When I try to migrate a virtual computer to another data store (using storage vmotion - change datastore option on migration Assistant) I still see this warning on the migration wizard: this virtual machine must be powered off to perform this function.

  I'm completely lost, because I check the requirements to make a storage vmotion:

  1. license compliance: OK, we are authorized this feature

  2 source and destination storage of data available on the host: OK

  3. no snapshots: OK

  So, I do not understand why this message...

  What can I do? (of course I can't turn off the virtual machine).

  Thanks in advance.

  Which is my point... The message is related to the option greyed out only...

• Restore for virtual machines recovered steps

  Hello

  I just read the Administrator's guide and some documents of advantage seller 3rd on the reconfiguration of the SRM of the restoration for use in a production design.

  I noticed that there are steps in the Administrator's guide to close all virtual machines that have been recovered to recovery as part of a failover of completed site (see attachment).  The steps will guide you to delete files in VM reserved space on the table and delete files/directories in vCenter on the recovering site that contains the configuration files of virtual machine created during the creation of a protection group.

  That means that if you were running a 'assisted restoration' you need a system failure to recover all the virtual machines for the time to complete all the tasks of reconfiguration and automatic restore of test?  Is that correct or is it just a cut and paste from the evaluation guide where we don't care about system failures because it is eval?

  We use EMC CLARiiON systems for storage and I have gone through the H5583-VMware_Site_Recovery_Manager_with_EMC_CLARiiON_CX3_and_MirrorViewS_Implementation (see attachment) - this document does not mention any of these steps at all.

  Can anyone who has been successfully complete a review of restoration?

  Surely files in VM reserved space on the storage array and folders/directories in vCenter can be removed after the restore is complete, in this way, all changes can be made when retrieving VMs are on the rise and running and no downtime will be experienced by the company? -is that not what the result you want in this situation?

  Look forward to your opinion on this subject.

  Craig.

  Hi Craig

  The word of Chad is the deadline and this point, but subject to change, is June

  It is certainly not a flaw to make the functionality available to the general public at that time - but teams of engineers are looking to this kind of delay

  Hope that helps

• Try the list of virtual machines by NetworkName, then add advanced settings

  Hello

  I'm trying to connect to a host (not a vCenter), list the virtual machines, select the different networks of those in two, then apply two advanced settings for the virtual machine.

  So far, I have this:

  $vms = get - VM

  SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  If (Get-NetworkAdapter - vm $vm.name |?) {{$_.NetworkName - eq "VLAN70"})}

  New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.copy.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

  New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.paste.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

  }

  }

  Disconnect-VIServer $esxi - confirm: $false

  First of all, how I add a second network to verify - if 'VLAN70' or 'VLAN80 '?

  Secondly, there is a smarter way of writing this script?  I'm doors beginning with PowerCLI, but I think even my grandmother could write a better version...

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

  -virtualhobbit

  I see, so you could do something like this

  $tgtVLAN = "VLAN80", "VLAN80", "VLAN90".

  SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

  Get - VM |

  where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ | % {$tgtVLAN-contient $_.NetworkName}) - contains $true} | %{

  New-AdvancedSetting $_ - isolation.tools.copy.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

  New-AdvancedSetting $_ - isolation.tools.paste.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

  }

  Disconnect-VIServer $esxi - confirm: $false
