Virtual Center and Virtual Machines do feed not on after outage

Hello-

Over the weekend, we had a power outage in our data center which resulted in the loss of power to our HP blades that make up our ESX cluster.  Power was restored after a few minutes, and fed up ESX Server, VirtualCenter, which works as a virtual machine, does not, no has yet no virtual machines.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might have happened?   For storage, we have an HP EVA SAN fiber.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated-

Steve

Hello.

If electricity is cut to the complete chassis, and all went down at the same time?  "If so, you might want to look into the Virtual Machine start/stop" settings for your hosts and see if the settings are configured the way that you expect to be.

Good luck!

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
    That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
    Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a

  • the virtual machine customization: Customize not

    Hi all

    When I create a model for w2k8r2 I follow these steps:

    -create a virtual machine

    -install w2k8r2

    -install the required patches

    -install all the software business for our build

    -stop the machine (no sysprep is run)

    -model of the virtual machine

    Now, when I deploy a vm' in this model and select: Customize will not... machinery recently deployed still would be Sysprep and made unique?

    Thank you

    Dryv

    How can I make sure my get sysprep machines would be?

    very simple.

    Use vCenter customization specification Manager, PR Cutomization Spec File for Windows, specify the Hostname of the virtual machine, the license key, network settings and check generate new largest SID.

    See next post where someone has explained how to do this step by step activity.

    Creation and use of VMware Guest customization Specification"blog of Adrian Costea

    now, when deploying the new VM model of yours, please check customize Guest OS-> select spec file. customization you created. and continue with the deployment.

    Rest will be done for you, as your newly deployed machine will be syspreped,

    This way you won't have to worry about SID, but at the same time many other things will be also supported.

  • VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host

    I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING".  This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment.  The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct.  It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.

    In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0.  I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it.  Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it.  I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.

    I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network.  MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.

    For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.

    Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?

    The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?

  • Virtual machine session is not a camera

    I use VMWare Player 5 with an installation of Windows XP to support a camera (Canon Powershot G1) that doesn't have any driver for any version of Windows.

    He worked for a while, but now it does not work.  I don't remember if I had to configure whatever it is some way to make it work at the outset.

    There is no icon for the camera in the toolbar of the player where to appear other configurable devices (optical drive, etc.).  XP does not detect the camera.  The OS (Win Vista) of the host, but as I said there is no (native or Canon) driver for it.  It doesn't seem to matter that I have connect/power on the camera before or after that XP is running in the drive.  Similarly, it does not seem serious if I disable the entry does not work in Vista Device Manager.

    The camera itself looks very good and still work if I plug it into a PC running XP.

    How to solve this?

    It seems that the installation of XP virtual machine was probably corrupted, because when I created a new virtual machine and install XP in it, the camera was detected fine.

  • Virtual MACHINE disk, but not in the inventory

    I have a virtual machine that has disappeared from the inventory, but is still in the (non-local) data store. In my view, that it was off. I tried to add to the inventory, but received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name. I believe that these are the steps that led to this State:

    I had a consultant in an ESXi host to replace it with a new one and a few weeks ago. All virtual machines have been moved out of the old host. The virtual machine in question was arrested that we did not use it. I just noticed today that it was not in the inventory because now I'm ready to use it.

    Another change that happened a few weeks ago was replacement unit vCenter vCenter. I don't know if who had nothing to do with him or not.

    Any suggestions how I could see the virtual machine in the inventory again?

    Hello

    As you can see this message, "received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name", while adding another virtual machine name use inventory. However, be sure that this virtual machine is not already.

  • Try to mount a drive on my virtual machine that is not part of the data of the VM store... Please help!

    Hi all

    I have ESXi 4.0 installed on my server, and one of my four VM is an instance of Debian Lenny. My VM residence on a Raid-1 data store according to the 2x1.5TB. I have an additional SATA drive connected to my server (it is in one of the 8 hotswap bays in the server) I want to get on this VM Debian.

    Where can I do if the virtual machine can detect and eventually to mount this drive? I did research on vSphere manual with no luck yet.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    ESXi has several limitations (due to the limited service console).

    So you don't have USB support in the hidden console, you cannot read NTFS and Linux file system (no module in the kernel) and so on...

    As ESX and ESXi cannot (yet) to virtualize a USB device, so you cannot mount your drive in a VM.

    I would suggest using another system (Linux or Windows with a browser to ext2/ext3).

  • Virtual MACHINE starts in EFI environment after crash

    Hello world

    I'm breaking my head on something that looks like a bug to me.

    A few weeks ago, the ESXi host on that I was running VMs crushed (power fail) and after powering back and from virtual machines on this stand-alone host, one of the virtual machines did not start correctly.

    This machine virtual runs Windows Server 2012 and booted up this time in the EFI environment.

    After some research, the EFI configuration is gone. When opening the Boot Manager Maintenance upward and choose 'Start configuration Options', no options are listed. When you add a new boot option and using the backup function, the settings are lost instantly. When comparing the parameters with any other SMV 2012 I have running, Miss me a lot of configuration such as startup options and some driver options.

    These two options will not save after closing the menu for adding these options. When you choose 'Start from a file' I can start the virtual computer by using the 'VOLUME LABEL\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi No.' file. After the virtual machine restarts, it will be to the EFI environment.

    It is very difficult to find information about the EFI BIOS so I hope anyone here have experience with it.

    I even tried to restore the VM about 2 weeks before the accident, but even with the files of the virtual machine will start in EFI environment with no settings at all. So maybe the problem caused earlier; very weird! Also not to be able to save the new settings in the environment EFI seems very strange to me.

    Thanks for the replies! =)

    Hi René,.

    Hmmm... There is something of very, very wrong with this file NVRAM.  Looks like that the power failure has corrupted the file NVRAM in a way that confuses the firmware irreparably.  I consider this new next week (next year!) when I'm back in the office and will introduce an internal bug report if I find something that we can make it more robust.

    Although I generally recommend it not for VMS EFI, in your situation, your best course of action is probably the virtual computer power off, remove the file .nvram to the directory of the virtual machine (or rename it to something else, if you want to be extra careful), and power then it powered.  A fresh .nvram file will automatically create the virtual machine starts.  For the most part, reasonably normal Windows installations, the virtual machine must then be started automatically in the operating system installed.

    (For the benefit of other readers of the forum who may come across this thread, I repeat: do not delete a virtual machine EFI NVRAM memory, unless you understand the consequences!)  "It seems that there is rather than remove the NVRAM in this particular situation and very few others.)

    Please let me know if that gets things going again!

    And I'm going to one of our regulars of the forum, WoodyZ, avoid having to make his regular situation comment: If you haven't already done so, you can consider investing in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to keep your system running through power cuts or to allow at least a normal instead of a hardware failure stop.

    See you soon,.

  • Virtual MACHINE running on two hosts after hung vmotion

    Hello

    I started a VMotion of virtual machine by host A to host B. The request got hung at 65% for several hours. I restarted the VCenter service, registered to vsphere. The process was running is longer, but now the virtual machine appears on the Host A and host B.

    The Cluster-'Virtual Machine' tab displays the virtual machine and cycles between two hosts seconds couple?

    Anyone seen this before? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

    First of all, it's impossible.  A virtual machine cannot be in 2 places at once.  It's just in the transition.

    Secondly, vCenter manages the process but it doesn't actually do the vMotion, ESX hosts are.

    What is happening is life of the virtual machine on the host only until the end of the evolution towards the other host (somewhere around 97%) when the transfer is confirmed with the new host.

    Best thing to do is to restart the services of management on both hosts and see if that frees the vMotion.

    I had to move my printers due to a collapse of the motherboard.   I moved my HP DeskJet 710C from a computer (under XP SP3, through LPT1:, where he was part of a network home and works very well) to another computer, also under XP SP3 on the same network, but who doesn't have a printer port.   I replace the cable with a USB printer and I tried to install if via a port USB001 printer.   The machine seems to install the printer (manually - it is not automatically find) and it shows in the printers and Faxes folder.   However, it does not print.   Any document disappears into the other, is not listed as a document to print, but it does not reach the printer.    I did everything I can find listed on the HP web site and run the FixIt program nothing works.   A search for network printers, are looking for a printer, provides a list, of which some are listed as invalid.   I think that I had uninstalled to printers to my computer until I tried to install this printer.   Now, I wonder if these "invalid" entries are mucking up of my installation.   How can I remove 'Invalid printer' names in my list of installed printers.   It seems in any simple way.

    Should I remove S * PERAantiSpyware from my computer?

    If it is not necessarily - free SAS, but if all were fine with your computer (and it's not!), you should not have installed SAS because MSE includes a component of anti-malware.

    Should I install the [definitions optional updates offered by Windows Update MSE]?

    You pouvez install them but this is not necessary - assuming that MSE is installed & working properly... but I suspect that this is NOT the case!  See this FAQ: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/74e507b8-f6da-4eca-8ce7-d1aca7d3f1ba

    [Microsoft] Security Essentials is related to the Security Center?

    Yes. Security Center monitors the status of the firewall, automatic updates and Protection against malware (anti-virus & anti-malware; applications i.e. Microsoft Security Essentials).

    Translation: Since the Security Center still cannot be permanently turned on, there is a very good chance that MSE and Windows Firewall will not work correctly - despite the fact that we have now managed to get the computer fully patched to Windows Update and despite the multi-step fix, I had to make.

    In your case, there are several possible causes for this behavior:

    1. your McAfee subscription and/or your previous subscription of Norton AntiVirus may have expired before that you did something;

    2. do not run the remove McAfee & Norton tools at the right time; or...

    3. misguided use of registry cleaners.

    So, what can you do about it?...

    OPTION A: MSE support could be able to help you. Residents of the United States (only!) should be able to open a support incident free of charge by e-mail via this page-online https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/default.aspx?productkey=morrolaunch&mkt=en-us&st=1&wfxredirect=1

    Note: After selecting your option, language (e.g., English-US) and clicking the button CONTINUE, click on the EMAIL button, not the FORUM button!

    OPTION B (recommended): See the poster in this thread and follow the instructions of (my) WHOLE (to the letter and in order! ) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

    IMHO your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or local area network (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.
