• VM does not start after moving to another server

  Hi all

  After our production server is down with a motherboard broken, we install another server (different hwardware) and installed vSphere 5.1. Existing virtual machines (database) (origin server) are on a raid (two drives raid 1) controller. We installed the RAID drivers in vSphere to make the database accessible (Areca RAID controller). Then, from the "Configuration" tab we opened the VM (browse the database) of the databases of the existing virtual machine, rightclickt to the servername.vmx folder and choose "add to the inventory. After that, the VM are added to the inventory of the VM client. The first time, we started the virtual machine, he asked if the virtual machine has been moved or copied. Because we did not know the correct answer, we choose "copied". He mentioned when we did not know the correct answer, choose "copy". After that, there are a lot of disk activity, but it ends in an error that it cannot find the vmdk file.

  Power on virtual machine

  MachineName.com

  [File]

  /vmfs/volumes/504dbfc2-bc271df0-F9B3-001e67339752/MachineName.COM_2.VMDK was not found.

  Then the boot stops and nothing happends.

  In the original situation all disk storage took place in the Bay of disks in the RAID controller, so there where no additional drives installed for storing the snapshot.

  Help, please!

  Have you added two virtual disks to the virtual machine? The _2 in the file name machinename.com_2.vmdk indicates usually that it's the second virtual disk on the virtual computer

• TOSHIBA StorE 1524E-1HK0 - does not work after moving

  I just moved to another apartment and installed all my computer stuff. Unfortenaly my external hard drive won't give any connection to the PC. Also not to another PC. The light is red and blue turning. All cables are connected correct. To turn off the hard drive and start again, the same result happened.

  Does anyone know how to fix this?

  best regards Mathieu

  Hello

  I think that, while moving to the apartment of another, hard drives has been damaged and shaked. If you have tried all the cables and connections, but it is still not recognized, it may be something wrong inside. Don't think you can fix it yourself :(

• RDP does not work after the update of the virtual machine tool

• Windows 7 computer physical exported to the virtual machine and now will not boot on another machine

  Hello

  What I tried to do is the following:

  Export/create a virtual machine from the current physical running computer. After it's done, I plug in the USB key which contains the files of virtual computer for a laptop and try to start this virtual machine. It does not start due to "recent changes". This probably means that the OS never will start, right?

  This seems odd to me, or I can't understand what is happening here. I thought that to have a virtual machine means that the operating system could not doing the physical machine, it is running on, but just saw it is virtualized OS/machine.

  I would like to "clone" a current physical machine and then run it on another PC is because we need to have a client machine, convert applications on it and then return either the image (if they already had a running image) or we have a complete script on how to convert/upgrade for that client applications so that the downtime will be minimal and maximum success rate.

  Info:

  VMWare Workstation 7.1.2

  Windows 7 (desktop and laptop PC run this) 32-bit

  Some clients running ESX and we want to take a picture of that and do the same trick as for workstation

  A thinking about it?

  See you soon,.

  Steven

  I bought a copy of Virtualization Manager 2010 at the time where converter couldn't handle windows 7.

  Nowadays the 4.3 version should work well.

  As mentioned previously, the mebdedded in my computer is very outdated.

  On my site, you will find a howto for p2v 2008 r2 - this works for Windows 7 too - and it uses only free tools

• vCenter Server Service does not start after P2V

  Hello community.

  A problem that I have not been able to solve and looking for help.

  Problem:

  vCenter Server Service does not start after that Windows Server was P2V would be.  We get an ERROR 2 of the Service.  Get the error of the system Windows 7024 event log.

  History:

  The client, I currently work with that tries to smash to the high location of the DEV VCENTER.  Location of DEV vcenter works now all for this site (domains, dns and all development servers).  If its VCENTER PRODUCTION of this location.  Currently, SQL Server (dedicated to vCenter), VCENTER and SSO are all sitting on the same box.  Let's break the SSO, SQL and VCENTER in their own servers.  However, the client wants to re - use the current physical server for SQL Server.  So I need P2V physical server existing until I can start the new environment.

  I was able to get all of the services working on the virtual vCenter (SQL, SSO, Update Manager etc etc) but have been unable to get the real vCenter Server Service works.  Fails every time with the 2 ERROR Code.  I was unable to get a KB of VMWARE item that corresponds to the issue I'm having.  ERROR 2 code has many articles and none have worked.

  Details:

  vCenter 5.1 Build 799731

  SQL 2008 R2

  Windows 2008 R2

  When the vCenter Service tries to start it will stop at the 50% mark and gives this error: (I removed the names for security reasons)

  Windows could not start the VMware VirtualCenter server on <server name>. For more information, see the system event log.  If it is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to service 2-specific error code

  When I saw the Windows system event log I get this error:

  EVENT ID: 7024

  The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error special service that the system cannot find the specified file...

  When I go through the vpxd log file I see this at the end of the newspaper: (I removed the names for security reasons)

  2013-12 - T 03, 16: 09:17.353 - 05:00 [info 09168 "Default"] forcing of VMware VirtualCenter stop now

  I pulled the virtual machine in a laboratory and all network problems that would be removed to isolate.  Now the VCENTER is shouting at this topic it can't find one of its guests in the vdxp log, but that shouldn't matter.  All Services have been changed for local accounts.  All network and ODBC parameters are able to see the server... aka the server can see.  I didn't remove any software or drivers for the VM (techniques it is my third P2V to the same server for testing reasons)... And the only thing that won't start is always VCENTER SERVER... SSO is started, SQL is launched...

  Also everything remained the same on the virtual machine (DNS, IP, NAME etc etc). Stop the physical and start-up it upward don't show any problems.  Only when its summer P2V would have done that themselves.

  I can't get this number.  Need help.

  Thoughts?

  Thank you

  In this case, we have finished rebuilding the vCenter and all migrate on.  Wish had better put up-to-date, but ultimately, it's what has been done.

  Thank you

• Firefox does not open after the update. Cannot open the profile technical, even when you use the directory in cmd line path

  I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox does not open after the last update. I read the help articles and it seems that I need to create a new profile because my settings were probably corrupted. I'm unable to open the profile technical, even when you use the directory in cmd line path. I tried the following commands in the command line:

  Firefox Pei
  "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla" PEI

  Nothing happens with every order.

  I am also running Norton Internet Security. I read a help of virtual navigation features Re article that can cause a problem. The article says to check the setting of virtualization in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache. I went through all the menus of settings in Norton Internet Security version 21.6.0.32 and I don't see anything that looked like in "virtualization" settings, so I guess that does not apply to me. "

  If you have any ideas, I had appreaciate that your expertise!

  Hello arcandl, at the launch of the firefox is not after you double-click the shortcut, it is sometimes also a sign of active malware on a system.
  you might want to try running a scan with some various other security like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner tools that are specialized to remove the adware and browser hijackers.

  Hey Oscar Jose

  Download the correct ISO file and make a disk bootable from the link below

  Then use the Startup Repair option when you start from

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  or at startup press F11 to start the process of restoration of hp and see if you can reinstall vista from the recovery partition and place your machine, back to the way you bought

  warning you all data loss and 3 third-party programs that you have installed unless there is a non-destructive option in your hp recovery options

  Thirdly try to ask in a fedora forum to solve the problem, he has caused

• Serial number does not work after the transfer of OSX and apps for the new Macbook Pro

  My serial number does not work after the transfer of applications and OS X for my new Mac.  Although the Adobe specifications say it is compatible with the older OS X, it does not seem to have no compatibility issues because

  -My old Macbook Pro has Yosemite and was fully running CS5 Web premium without a problem.

  -My new computer has the same * exact * OS X transferred in which the suite was fully functional with the trial.

  A support of top-level, software engineer, or someone who takes care of the soap operas could

  -Please provide a number of test series to test with?

  - And/or activate my series?

  - Or show how to disable the publication series on the old disk hard if I can't use the old computer?  So that I can use with the new computer?

  I chatted with technical support that keeps saying that it's a compatibility problem, to install with old OS X or buy a newer version. But I know that CS5 works with Yosemite (as I use it myself), and the only question I had is that serial # says invalid, which is separate from the functionality of the program.

  I'd rather not spend hundreds more to get a new suite, when I spent a lot for CS5 already and know is fully functional on Yosemite.  I have also not return to an older operating system and break things.

  Moreover, I used to be a general technical Support and I am a coder of web applications, so I understand that this isn't just some sort of "reboot" of the question

  No info to solve this, or a means to achieve at the highest level Tech support, would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Transferred apps will certainly question of activation, because licenses files creation is completely dependent on machine, it willl created according to the particular Machine ID, if you transfer the application from one computer to another, there is incompatibility.

  Therefore, it is very necessary that you are using the original installation media.

  Download the CS5 products

  If you do not agree with the process of removing and reinstalling, try wiping the contents of SLCache and rename the SLStore folder.

  
  

  WARNING: Do not forget once erase you the contents of this folder, all Adobe applications will ask the new license or re-enter the serial number.

  Location: /Library/Application Support / Adobe.

  It is strictly recommended to install Adobe applications using the original installation media.
