Virtual MACHINE cannot convert to thin?

Hello

Is there a reason why a virtual machine on a thickness of provisioning fails to be converted to thin? We have no problem of conversion of the other virtual machines in thin except this one.

Thank you

Hong Boon.

You can also try sdelete on the virtual machine before cold migrate, as indicated on the site of Duncan.

  • Find virtual machines with disks of 'thin '.

    Hello

    I'm looking for a script that locates the virtual machines with disks of 'thin' and retrieves information about the provisioned size and "used" actual size and output to a CSV file.

    Thank you in advance!

    This gives you a report on virtual machines with thin discs and the capacity of your hard disk.

    Validated clerk/no values are available only through VM by the data store, I'm afraid, not by the hard drive.

  • New virtual machine cannot reach gateway all-in-olders Yes

    Hi, I'm using ESXi for a year with no problems, but now I'm having a very strange situation. New virtual machine cannot reach the front door, while the 'old'. New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa, but new looks as private. I tried different OS and still have the same question.

    That's what I have:

    Reference DELL R610 with RAID - 1 and RAID-5

    ESXi free 348481 4.1.0

    1 card NETWORK connected

    IPs public 16

    4 VM (W 2008 32bits, W 2008R2 64, 32 2008 W, W 2008 64) works perfectly

    All VM are stored on the local Datastore2 (raid-5)

    Last week, I installed:

    1 Openfiler ESA (gateway problem)

    1 W 2008 R2 (gateway problem)

    1 W XP 32 (gateway problem)

    1 W 2008 32 (gateway problem)

    Older VM never lose connection with gateway and beyond

    New never manage to bridge

    I can't manually add gateway IP/mac address (error 5) in the new.

    Anyone can figure it out and how to solve? I'm really lost.

    Thank you

    New virtual machine can ping olders VM and vice versa...

    This excludes actually questions 'virtual '. The vSwitch has no restrictions.

    What kind of physical switch are you using? If this is a CISCO switch to ensure that the port is configured as a port of access (or trunk port) and spans tree portfast is. Some CISCO switches have a "macro"set desktop on their ports which limits the number of MAC addresses that are allowed on the port.

    PS: Please don't ask me. Did you check the address of the gateway AND subnet mask are correct for the new virtual machines?

  • VCloud in virtual machines cannot communicate if they are in another ESX host

    Hi all

    Currently I do a simulation for VCD in my laboratory of the company. I just discovered a few question in this simulation. Hope anyone can advice on that. Thank you.

    Senario:

    1. create an external network with 400 VLANS in vsphere Distribution Switch in two ESX server.

    2. create a VCD organization.

    3 create a pool of network supported by network isolation VLAN 300

    4 create an external organization routed network connection-NAT and select Network (VLAN 400) external and network pool (VCDNI vlan 300)

    5. create two virtual machines and assign the same network of the external organization that was created in step 4.

    6. If two virtual machines on the same host, they can communication or ping to each other.

    7. If two virtual machines in different hosts, they cannot communicate.

    Why step 6 and step 7 will happen? What I have set up wrong? Please advice on this.

    Much appreciated for your help.

    Thank you.

    Concerning

    Ho

    the physical switch must be configured for vlan 400 and 300,

    vcni network tries to encapsulate the traffic on the 300 VLAN, if it is not configured on the physical switch virtual machines will be able to talk if they are on the same host.

    correct its help is not a network back pvlan Isolation needs its own vlan you set to 300, which she in turn can then run 1000 + mac in the mac encapsulated networks in vlan 300,

    Configure the ports on the switch to accept any vlan 300 institutions and it will be sweet

  • Virtual machines cannot access IP host

    I'm running Windows 7 x 64.  I installed VMWare workstation 7.x.  I created a few virtual machines, 3 XP and 1 Windows 7 x 86.   I created a network bridged on the properties of each virtual computer.  Everything worked well for months.   Now, all of a sudden I can not connect to server shares.   In fact, I don't even the IP addresses for all virtual machines.   I tried to sever the virtual machines in the network and the re - add but now I can't even add them because he can't find any field.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling from VMWare.    I tried all the connections to different network that you can try in VMWare Workstation and nothing works.    I cannot join the domain and I can't get an IP address any.

    I don't know what changed, but something has.  Any help would be great.

    Thank you.

    Have you checked the changes on the firewall of the host or do you use any type of protection software endpoint that is probably blocking the traffic of the virtual machine?

  • Can not power on virtual machines "cannot access the file because it is locked.

    Virtual machines have been working well - then the storage system is down.  After the storage system returns upwards that I can't turn on a number of virtual machines.  Get this error when I try to turn it on:

    Cannot power on vmname on esxhostname.xxxxx.com. Unable to access file < unspecified file name > because it is locked
    error

    1. To check the locks on the Service Console on non ESXi servers, run the command:

      lsof | grep

      COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE SIZE NŒUD NOM_PERIPHERIQUE
      71fd60b6-3631 root 4r REG 0.9 10737418240 23533

      Note: If there is no Console of Service process the locking file, you should receive no printed output. If you receive results, however, file a support request to identify the process and to determine the causes.  If it is a third-party process, however, contact the appropriate provider to determine the cause before you kill the process ID, because it can happen again in the future.

      Stop the process and the lock ID using the kill command. In the example above, the process ID is 3631:

      kill the 3631

      After the termination of the process, you can try to turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

    2. To check if the virtual machine is always a world ID assigned, run these commands on all ESX/ESXi hosts:

      CD/tmp
      VM-support - x

      Available to debug worlds:
      WID =

      On the ESX/ESXi host where the virtual machine still works, kill the VM, which releases the lock on the file. To kill the virtual machine, run the command:

      VM-support - X

      Where the is the ID of the world of the virtual machine with the locked file.

      Note: this command takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Answer No to "can I include a screenshot of the virtual machine", and answer Yes to all subsequent questions.

      After the termination of the process, you can turn on the virtual machine or access the file resource.

    Deleting the file .lck (NFS only)

    The virtual machine files can be locked via NFS storage. You can identify this as reported by .lck files. # (where # is the ID of the world that holds the lock file) at the end of the file name. It is a NFS file lock and appears only when you use the ls command as it is the hidden file.
    Beware: they can be removed safely only if the virtual machine is not running.

    Note: VMFS volumes have no .lck files. The locking mechanism for VMFS volumes is managed within VMFS metadata on the volume.

    You must kill the process that is locked, if it is not the case, you probably need to restart the VMware host.
    I tell you from experience most likely end up rebooting it.

  • ESXi 3.5 Update 4 virtual machines cannot boot from ISO image stored on the server

    Ok

    If I have one of my virtual machines of ESXi configured to use an ISO image sitting on my server ESXi, they cannot boot from this image.  This is after you click "ESC" during startup in order to change the startup CD-ROM.  I have this a known issue, or I'm just doing something wrong?  If I have the vms use an ISO sitting on my desktop (using Infrastructure Client) it works fine.

    Or the answer is even simpler, make sure I connect at power on.

    OK, Yes!  But some of the things we take for granted... haha...

  • Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

    Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

    Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

    In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

    I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

  • Cannot run the application: Java Virtual Machine cannot be loaded. Class not registered

    I want to launch the TI Flash Studio program on my computer windows 7, but the above error when I try to open the program, when I download the suggested 'Virtual Machine' I get another error message that says that the 'Virtual Machine' is not compatible with windows 7, how can I solve this problem?

    Hello hallaman3,

    I did not find TI Studio listed in the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. I suggest that you contact TI to see if they have an updated version.
    I found a new version of TI connect to be compatible with Windows 7. Not sure if you need it for TI Studio.

    You can also try compatibility mode.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:

    1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    I hope this helps.

  • New virtual machine cannot see host DVD rom

    I installed VMware ESX 3i 3.5.0 Build 123629 on a new Dell PowerEdge 2900 and began the process of adding new virtual machines. The Issus is that when I start the virtual machine and intsaller attempted the BONE of the guest virtual computer does not see the DVD, even if it is the setup of the virtual machine. When I go in the settings of the virtual machine and try to set up DVD to use the host device, I get the message that no device is available. Help...

    SATA has always been a little flakey when it comes to ESX.  You should maybe update your BIOS or make some small changes in the BIOS for him to see the player.  A quick fix would be to create an ISO of the DVD that you want to use and upload it to your data store to use until you get the problem solved.

  • Virtual MACHINE cannot access the vlan

    We have a vSwitch with a portgroup that services our Production network with no VLAN specific specified (0).  Gave us access to a new vlan on a physical Cisco switch level in our chassis and basic in our data center switches.

    VSwitch physical maps show the new VLAN and production networks when you look at the vSwitch properties and the port group.

    However we still cannot get out on the side of the chassis with a configured virtual computer to access the new VLAN.  Do we need to add a new port group to the vSwitch specifying the new vlan?  Any other ideas?

    I have attached a doc showing the 101 new VLAN as a network, that NETWORK cards can see.

    Thank you

    Morrisos

    This VLAN 101 are arriving in two network cards?

    If not, configure the two network cards.

    If the vlan is marked on your switch, when you create a port group, set VLAN ID 101.
