• Activation of computer problems virtual disk access gross

  I'm running a dual-boot with Windows and Ubuntu machine. Windows is installed on its own separate for ubuntu drive 500 GB. I then a virtual computer set up with raw access to windows update and it is application so that I didn't need to reboot and wait in windows to do anything (especially since I'm on a slow internet connection).

  My problem is with the activation. I cloned the uuid of material but windows always tries to turn on and now automatically activated too many times. Is it possible to stop the activation trigger and release the lock on my key?
  In order to facilitate responses to violate the TOS and piracy angry messages, license mentions installation on multiple systems of material as a violation, but it is a unique installation running on the same physical hardware. The virtual machine is simply a method to run both OS at the same time. The key is never used on other machines.
  Also buying an additional key for the virtual machine will not work because it is the same facility. This would result in the activation be triggered each time going and finally the two keys would make my current has. Also I wouldn't do what I don't see why I should to the same facility.

• Troubleshooting performance problems with the mail server on the virtual computer

  I have a virtual machine with a mail server installed on a windows OS. But all of a sudden, my clients on the server response times decreased significantly.

  This could be the cause of this problem?
  It could be to do with the network, storage, or resources, but I don't know what steps I could take to determine fault

  Would someone mind helping me with the steps I could take to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  The below document page 20 and 21 accurate meters, you should look at the virtual machine level.

  These counters can be used for any virtual computer not only Exchange.  If you are familiar with ESXTOPs I believe that the best way to deep dive in the diagnosis of performance problems.  Also here is a link for these parameters.

• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

• network to access the problem on a virtual computer

  Hello

  I have a server with esxi 4, and I created a new virtual machine. My problem is that I don't know how to configure the ethernet card in my VM.

  The server has a single adapter ethernet, with a public IP address. The network configuration is default of esxi: a physical card connected to a virtual switch. My problem is that I don't know what IP should I give the machine virtual eth0, and how I can tell that this public IP is connected to my virtual computer. Here is my network configuration:

  

  If anyone can help me, I realize that I'm very bad when it comes to networking

  Thank you

  It cannot be the same IP address as the host. Try one upwards or downwards to the IP address of the host. So that nothing else on the network has the same IP address. Make sure you have the right subnet mask and default gateway (the IP address of your router)

• Behavior of a virtual computer when it is placed on Standard vSwitch with multiple active adapters

  Hey everybody

  Right now I'm focusing on the aspect of vSphere network design and I have a question about this:

  If I have a vSwitch with a group of ports and attached to this group of ports there are 2 vNIC or NIC better and I chose road based on the Port ID and all cards are active, what happens to machines when I unplug a power cord? Lets assume vm1 is vnic 0 and vm2 on vnic1 and I unplug the power cord of vnic1. VM2 will switch automatically to vnic0 or should I restart? How should I take care of this problem when there is no automatic failover? Create an etherchannel and two assets assets adapters?

  Thank you and best regards

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  your virtual computer will be moved to the other vmnic again access to the network after the failure. No reboot needed.

  It is indeed a very simple way of load balancing / team. When you turn on a virtual machine is bound to a vminc. As you said correctly for this example, vm1 goes to vmnic0, vm2 to vmnic1, to vmnic0 vm3 and vm4 to vmnic1.

  This is the default setting as it is quite simple and you don't need any additional switch configuration.

  If you want to change this behavior, for example to build an etherchannel, remember to change the policy on the vSwitch / exchanges, which would require a load balancing of "route based on the hash of the IP.

• Impression of virtual machine problem

  I just started a problem printing my virtual machine running Win 7. I have the merger to 5.0.5. My Epson XP-810 printer is connected to my home network and I was able to print very well through the past of my Mac without problem for several months. Now when I print from the vm everthing is scaling down to about 50% size (the printed page thumbnail appears in the center of the sheet). If I print from my Mac or on the network through my phone, it seems. Any suggestions to solve this?

  Thank you

  I solved the problem and will share what I did to help others who may have a similar problem.  I was brought to the solution by reading article no. 1014535 the VMware knowledge base, and that changes the way I configured the virtual computer to connect with my Epson network printer. When I then reconfigured the virtual machine directly connected to the Epson printer on my network without wire instead of printing using a pass through the connection via the Mac (ThinPrint), it prints correctly.  I still don't know why this problem did not exist before when I was using the same passage in the installer, but the important thing is that it prints correctly now.

• Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

  I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  Thank you

  -MattG

  Hello, MattG-

  I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

  To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

  Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
  

  Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

  Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

  Anyway, how does do for you?

• Can I migrate a virtual computer to a new family of CPU? -Cisco Call Manager PUB/SUB

  I currently have 2 host VMware ESXi 4.1:

  1. Dell PER905 - running 16 x 2.39 GHz (core) CPU / Quad-Core AMD Opteron (tm) Processor 8378 (processor type)

  2 cisco UCS C260 M2 (BASE-2646) - running 20 x 2,393 GHz (core) CPU / Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU E72870 (processor type)

  
  

  The main objective is to move 2 VM of the Dell host to the host of Cisco, the reason is because Cisco Support said that the virtual machine requires an Intel and not AMD they are currently.  I currently have a Publisher Cisco Call Manager and Call Manager subscriber residing on the host of Dell, they are constructed (non - OVF) on this machine some time ago.  We started to have problems with them and ultimately Cisco indicated above.

  
  

  A few questions come to mind, can someone please shed some light on them for me?

  1. can I migrate these 2 AMD to Intel VM, without her damage/destruction of the virtual machine?  What that is the answer may be, can you explain to me the why?  The answer to the migration of the CPU is dependent on the guest OS or what?  I ask because I did this successfully on a Windows Guest OS virtual machine, but I guess it is that Cisco makes me hesitate/question.

  2 would it not be better to each virtual machine rebuilt on the new host, rather than through migration for the purposes of the CPU?

  3. What is the recommended method to endorse these VM, before proceeding with the migration?  I'm not talking about save data in the call manager for reasons that I will perform a backup it first.  I ask more along the lines of - for the love of the virtual machine itself.

  You should be able to perform a cold migration. The concern is the guest operating system level.  The Cisco device is probably a Linux distro.  The distribution must use the AMD64 instruction set (Intel 64 compatible) and theoretically should migrate fine.  However, if the guest what OS was improved the AMD CPU instructions, he can expect these features when you restart.  We have at least a virtual computer in our environment that we need to stick to a certain family of Intel processor because the software license dig and binds to it, but this is the only scenario that I have met.

  2 would it not be better to each virtual machine rebuilt on the new host, rather than through migration for the purposes of the CPU?

  I feel better on the redeployment, but if the migration is successful and applications run stable, then you reaped just the benefits of virtualization.

  You could do something as simple as the cloning of a copy.  Depending on how you are approved for vSphere, you can have the POS to back up your virtual machine.  You can also use a tool such as VMWare Converter or Veeam Backup and replication. Given the importance of these virtual machines, I would get at least 2 backups of different type.  You should be able to validate any backup with VMWare Workstation prior to migration.

• How would recreate the pagefile to a Windows 2008 virtual computer running on a host ESX 3i?

  As the subject says, I'm looking for a way to do this.  I inherited the environment of another group and it is very small, but it performs ESX 3i on the two hosts and Vcenter version 2.5 (Infrastructure) is a bit old.  5 of 6 VM are operational, however, the 6th when turned on will not get 40% full, but then it will fail to stating that is not a swap file.  Now, normally it is not a swap file, because they are created or deleted dynamically whenever a virtual computer is powered on one of the hosts.  It's quite strange.

  In the new versions / environments, there seem to be ways to recreate exchange capacity easily, but which doesn't seem to be the case here.  I don't think it's a process lock as the two hosts have restarted to clear HA agent / editions of the resource.  My guess is this has happened has been one of the hosts could not reproduce any more process for some reason any and when the VM problem has been powered down to try to erase some, the problem occurred.  Either that, or there are unreadable sectors in the data store, and perforated in this swap file black...

  I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to solve the problem.  Any input would be welcome.

  Thank you!

  All,

  Thanks for the suggestions, but I solved the problem.  What needed to be done was to remove the virtual machine of the inventory and then re-create it as a new virtual machine under the cluster of the same name, same settings and have it use its 2 existing virtual disks.  For some stupid reason, once this is done, he managed to turn on normally and now runs without problem.

  I'm not necessarily happy that this solution because it does not really help understand me what underlying the problem actually was, but I guess I can live with that.  The reason why I have not tried it earlier, is that I was afraid the vmdk would be replaced and I wanted to keep the existing information.  However, someone I work with was certain that they had done before, and that she maintained the pre-existing data, even in this older version, so I finally tried.

  in any case, thanks for the support, and if someone can glean some root causes of the problem based on the solution I have just given, that would be helpful.

• Need advice: VMs 'reconfigure virtual computer' about 10 minutes

  Hi, I need some advice.

  I have about 40 virtual machines distributed on 6 x hosts (ESXi 5.1.0: 1065491).

  I don't remember what I did recently (2 to 3 weeks ago) but:

  -There was no reboot the host, no updates

  -J' did a shrink of log SQL as my vCenter had a connection error (SQL Log full)

  -Restart vCenter (after the reduction of newspapers SQL)

  Only the last week or so, I realized that there are 6 virtual machines that were still in the task to vCenter 'reconfigure virtual machine.

  Her task "reconfigure virtual computer' seem to happen every 10 minutes and 100% almost immediately.

  There is no details on tasks.

  Virtual machines are spread through multiple ESXi hosts, running Windows Server 2008/2012.

  In fact, I found that the culprit after a few tries. There are several problems/causes for it but it leads (a) of the following:

  1. copy of Dell smart, EQL: the smart copy job is stuck. The problem is solved in the Dell EQL VSM 3.5.2 where no instant success are removed and re - in queue.

  2. trend Micro deep Security: just re - synchronize the vCenter and erase/reset the error warning for all computers

  3. Acronis backup stuck or failure that causes the VM "conscious" snapshot "services" to start and then stop. I did to stop the backup task Acronis having not an easy to understand the error log.

  Please kindly update if this can help.

• VMotion fails to 78% on 1 single virtual computer

  I got a UPS die on me and take my VMware down hard.

  When I got to the top and stabilized, I made sure that I could move the servers with Vmotion, and they work all but one.

  A single server will start to move, and then crash at 78% until if finally give a time-out error.

  I can stop the server and move it like that, but not as long as it is live.

  A problem is, I'm incompetent to such things. I don't know how to get to newspapers VMKernel etc..

  I know my way around the GUI, just do not know any command line stuff.

  I need the instructions Junior version if possible. ;-)

  by Kronos VM, huh?  Don't want to mess with that... get people angry when he time and attendance is not correct...

  Can you check something of ESX?  See if VT is enabled in the BIOS... Also, have you tried the virtual computer power off and remove the inventory and the navigation data store and adding it back to the inventory?

  Check VT:
