VCSA or vcva (Linux appliance) does not start - filesystem has errors

So I have the most recent version of the vCenter (5.1U1) linux device, but I've seen this before on earlier versions too.

I have errors on the console as below

=========================================

fsck failed.  Please fix manually and restart.  The root

file system is currently mounted read-only.  To raise it

reading / writing:

bash # mount - n-o remount, rw /

Atention: Only CTRL-D will reboot the system in this

maintenance mode.  shutdow or restart will not work.

Give the password to root for maintenance

(or type Ctrl-D to continue):

==========================================

Then I tried just about everything I can think

Put in the root password, then

# mount - n-o remount, rw /

exit #.

Rebooted system and ended up in the same place

I tried Ctrl-D

Rebooted system and ended up in the same place

A tried

Put in the root password, then

# mount - n-o remount, rw /

# Ctrl - D

Rebooted system and ended up in the same place.

Google-found nothing.

Cannot locate a KB is about that.

Any ideas?

TIA

Ended up having to open a ticket with Vmware, but google searches more found.

    Thank you, Josh

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are facing problems with your Windows 7 computer. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. Then I suggest you to perform auto repair. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

    When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)

    Method 2

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. Click repair your computer.

    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

    How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  • WLSE linux service does not start

    I am troubleshooting a WLSE that won't start. Suite documentation Cisco, I use the command service WCS beginning. It seems that something happens, and then it says: could not start.

    Has anyone encounter this situation have a suggestion before reloading the software from the cd?

    Thank you

    OK, so the installation location device is made via the CLI.

    A few things you need to know:

    -Make sure you have more than 5 minutes time shifted on the clock between the location and the WCS Server

    -Make sure you are using a version of compatible with WCS location server. The control method are the release notes

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/ps6386/prod_release_notes_list.html

    Installation script: /opt/locserver/setup/setup.sh: this is run the installer on your server location

    Once done, make sure you can ssh to your server location, and then you can add it to your Toilet. You must have at least one license of WCS + location to make it work.

    You will use admin/admin as username password to connect to the location of WCS server.

    Other useful things in the CLI server location:

    Version: cat /etc/locserver/conf/version.txt

    Newspapers: / opt/locserver/logs

    Install the Log: /opt/locserver/Cisco_Wireless_Location_Appliance_InstallLog.log

    Rental unit to start: /etc/init.d/locserverd start

    Stop Locator: stop /etc/init.d/locserverd

    Check the WCS are connected to the location server: /etc/init.d/locserverd status

  • Satellite 5200-902 does not start and several errors

    Hello

    I had a serious problem with my computer.

    While playing a game, the screen become corrupt. It is difficult to describe but basically blocks of colors appeared on the screen and icons became corrupt, lines and points seemed and the screen seems to tremble. The stoppage, the office appeared, and then the corruption of screen appeared again. A Blue Screen of Death appeared, but I couldn't read what he says because the display corrupted again. The laptop then restarted. Ran scan disk and when the computer was upward and the performer said he had just recovered from a mistake serious etc etc. But he did not know what had happened to other than a general driver error.

    At this point, I backed up all my files on my external hard drive.

    The laptop was then suffer from the same issue of corruption to screen again and again, but apparently only after being on for > 5-10 minutes. This time, the BSoD said that it was my graphic drivers and specifically the NV4_disp.dll. So I restored my graphics drivers on the originals included with the computer, but the same error happens again.

    My DVD Multidrive had stopped playing CD a week or two before it (a problem that I was intending to settle). However, mysteriously it started to work again after the first error. So I decided that the only thing I could do was to restore the computer. So I did. However when he asked for the second CD to be inserted the drive does not recognize it (a series of jarring and whirs repetitive of the reader in the same way exactly, that it had been a week or two before; though even when it would not read anything else, would still read DVD about 40% of the time). I tried several times, but meanwhile, the corruption of the display is back!

    I had to cancel the process and the Multidrive still refuses to read the recovery CD and so the laptop computer simlpy cannot be restarted. The most concerning thing now is that the corruption of screen returned when I finally tried to start the computer with the recovery CD - text was corrupted and polyhedral and randomly on the screen. The laptop is now off.

    I fear that it is a hardware failure. I don't see how it could be a virus because one) my anti virus (Norton) was only two or three days from its last update and b) display corruption occurred still even after that the hard drive had been partially formatted by the restore disc, and Windows had not yet started.

    Does anyone have advice? The problem is that I can't boot from the restore disc (unless there is a way to boot from an external CD drive?) and given the corruption of persistent display, I am not yet convinced that that would solve the problem anyway.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello

    I've read about similar problems with the graphic driver or the graphics card of the internet and it happened more often during the game.
    I think it might be an overheating of the graphics card.
    You know that the games are a heavy application that needs a complete service for laptop.
    All portable devices run in this case with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat.
    I think that it could have a bad influence on the map. As you say the problem appeared after 5-10 min. I think that in this time, the temperature has been increased.

    So I don't know how to help you. I think you should ask the technician for the control of the laptop. Eventually the cooling module must be replaced and if the graphics card has a malfunction, in my opinion, it should be replaced also.

    Karim maher,
    Thanks for posting with us.  If you are able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt, and then run this command:

    Chkdsk /r

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265

    It is also possible that this happens if there is a registry problem.  You can consult this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545

    If they do not help, then you will need to use the recovery options that are available from HP to perform a repair installation or a parallel installation.

  • disk cleanup does not start 'Microsoft has encountered an error.

    I am running Win XP Pro SP3.  I tried to do a disk cleanup.  I tried to go through system tools and also start, run the cleanmgr.  Neither one would go.  I get the standard Microsoft window that says an error has occurred and I would like to send a report.  I tried running malware analysis and restart also. Any ideas?

    I'm sorry, that I couldn't find useful on this topic.  For the most part, the suggestion is either give up and download/install Ccleaner or to extract a new copy of cleanmgr.exe.  The latter usually does not have contributed.

    CCleaner is a good utility, but if you go this route, do not use record cleaning option.

    The current version of cleanmgr.exe, which should be located in C:\Windows\system32, is 6.00.2900.5512 that there should be a copy of the same version of the file in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386.  On my XP Pro system, I have an earlier version 6.0.2900.2180, C:\Windows\$NTServicePackUninstal$ and I have 'the original' in compressed form in C:\i386 (this is the version 6.0.2600.0).

    I saw a suggestion of semi-utile troubleshooting in the latest post (LasseA123) here: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vista/789412-disccleanup-will-not-run-2.html note, however, that the problem discussed in this thread was in Vista, and that the two keys under this says LasseA123 caused his problem are not present in XP.  If you follow the suggestion here and actually isolate the problem to one or two subkeys, include this information in the post that I am proposing in the next paragraph.

    My only suggestion is to start a new thread, either here, most likely in the Forum of Technet XP3: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/itproxpsp/threads with the subject 'Event 1000 Cleanmgr ID' and focus on the disciplines that you pasted here.  If you try to replace the current copy of the cleanmgr.exe with one or more of the files in the location I mentioned above but still have the problem, include this information in your message as well.

  • Need help: Reader does not start, the message error "attempt to access an address not valid."

    My previous installation of the drive (Windows 7, 32 bit) worked without any problems.  Until a few days ago when I updated to the latest CD player.  Installation worked fine, but when you try to start the CD player, I received the following error message: "attempt to access an address not valid."  I uninstalled CD and installed Player 11.0.  Yet once, installation worked fine, but I get the same error message, even if double click directly the Adobe Reader .exe file.

    A similar question was asked in December 2014, but I do not see a resolution.

    Without Adobe Reader, many applications simply do not work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Adobe Reader Error Message 2015-10-18.jpg

    Thank you, Christopher, but this thread did not provide the right answer to my situation.  However, I continued working on my problem and finally found the solution: it's software Msreader EMET let go.  This software is an absolute disaster.  This is a free Microsoft security software. It's great, but once installed on your system, you cannot uninstall it even more.  After an EMET update a few months ago, I could not start Microsoft Word program.  After hours of play and even communicate with their support (not), I finally understood that he was own EMET software Microsoft blocks the Word Microsoft to start program.  Apparently, these guys don't know what they are doing.

    Anyway, I was ready to uninstall and reinstall the drive again, this time using the cleaner of Adobe's Acrobat Reader software to remove all possible traces of before install.  Before I did that, I remembered the EMET disaster a few months opened EMET, unmarked all actions AcroRd32.exe, and voila, launched reader and let me not open PDF files. (I had to reboot my PC before that worked).  Player is then proposed to upgrade to the latest version.  I did, and big surprise, Reader produces the same error message after the update.  Heck!  But after another reboot, the drive launched without any problem (apparently, EMET for the additional restart to recognize the changes after the update).

    I lost the greater part of the day to work on this issue, but I'm a happy camper again, because my Acrobat Reader works again.  Maybe my experience will help someone else.

  • Satellite P845t-107 - Linux kernel does not start

    Hello!

    Recently, I bought my first laptop from Toshiba-> Satellite P845t-107.
    Unfortunately, I have a very big problem with him: none of my emergency tools work.

    So I will have no chance to save the HD data when Windows is broken and I can't find a clean system viruses.
    All these tools are based on Linux.

    I use these tools I never had such problems with all of the dozens of computers where I had to use already in all years.

    I tried to get help in the Linux forums.
    They had several ideas, but none of them worked. GRUB, boots (because compatible UEFI and secure boot is disabled).

    But after I selected the parameters of the kernel to start with, it gets stuck in a very early stage, without any error message.

    Toshiba makes obviously something of very very different from other computer manufacturers.
    So please tell me how I can make my emergency tools do work again.
    Thank you!

    Notting

    Hello

    In the BIOS, you must disable secure boot and should spend UEFI to CSM.
    Then you should be able to boot from other sources.

    You will need a rescue disk from linux or use the Linux distribution installation disc and use the option of emergency starting to see if you can access the vm startup disk. Once you have access to the startup disk, you will need to use what ever linux resources / understandings you need to solve the problem.

    What happened to cause the error?

  • Trying to fix a CID parent access to a file descriptor of delta but VM still does not start. Other error "cannot open the disk...". The specified file is not a virtual disk.

    Starting the virtual machine has been tried several times earlier when I received the error message to tell the parent disk had been changed since the child was created. I looked at the resolution and had a go at fixing.

    I downloaded the vmdk files to find the problematic descriptor file it corrected and then download the a back fixed to the data store. I then removed the VM of the inventory and then re he added before attempting to start it. He says now the specified file is not a virtual disk. Unfortunately, I didn't know that he was still working on a snapshot file and had been for some time. It was a former VM test that I had played a little bit with all learning on VMware, but unfortunately he had a few files on it which is no longer, I have backup ups for and I could really do with recovery of them! The base file and delta file are always on display in the data store and I can re - use the base file in a new virtual machine but I need the data from the snapshot if possible file. Not sure if it can be manually engaged at the base (I have a copy of). I'm new to this depth of troubleshooting and according to research I realize it is a great chance, the data is not recoverable. Having said that if there is no hope at all then I would try or at least have someone who knows what they're doing a go help before you tell me everything is lost! I'm not really bothered to get the virtual machine running again, but must be able to copy some files in the C drive.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Craig

    I can't tell you if the data in the virtual drive itself can be retrieved by the attached hard file. However, it seems that you have used an editor who added a BOM (Byte-Order-Mark) at the beginning of the file, which made her an invalid for ESXi.
