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.

  • 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?

  • VMware Fusion 6 Professional - where is the possibility of locking VMware using a single virtual machine and do not allow the creation of new virtual machines?

Further reduce the cost of support of Windows desktop using the mode of single virtual machine that limits user access to the library of the Virtual Machine, the ability to create virtual machines or migrate PCs and reduces the options of the menu.

    How can I do this?

    Thank you!

    Glitch004,

    You could follow the steps to activate the single mode of VM:

    1. turn power off all running VMS and out the merger.

    2. Add the following line to/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion / config

    installerDefaults.simplifiedUI = 'TRUE '.

    3 restart merger and you will find:

  • 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).

    Assuming that you have enough free disk space on the host ESXI 5.1 data store, I suggest you that you load the multiextent module as shown in the link, I posted and then clone the virtual disk using the vmkfstools command line utility.

    vmkfstools 'Windows w2k3.vmdk'-i 'clone.vmdk' slim-d - an ide

    vmkfstools EI 'Windows w2k3.vmdk' 'old.vmdk '.

    vmkfstools EI "clone.vmdk" "Windows w2k3.vmdk".

    The first line of the clones of the virtual disk in a virtual drive put in service end format, and the following two lines renaming virtual disks, so that you can delete the "old*.vmdk" files once the VM works as expected.

    Alternatively, you can also run the commands on the host ESXi 4.1 and then copy the new files hard again to avoid loading the multiextent module in the new host.

  • Play a suspended virtual machine, vmdk file not found or the specified file is not a virtual disk

    Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve with the usual methods.

    My data

    • software: VMVware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130

    • Host: NB HP Compaq 2510p with 2 GB of ram

    • OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 5.12.2600

    I have a Win XP Pro SP3 computer virtual created for my work:

    • 6-5 - 7.0 VM workstation

    • RAM: 512 MB

    • Windows XP Pro operating system

    • Processors: 1

    • CDRom: Autodetect

    • Floppy: Autodetect

    • USB: present

    • Sound card: Autodetect

    • Display: Autodetect

    • HARD drive is divided into 2 GB files

    The problem lies in the HARD disk:

    • 40 GB declared

    • 0 MB recognized by the system

    My VM was functional complete. After a suspension

    • The State remains suspended

    • When I try to resume, a pop-up window will appear "file not found: IATROS VM.vmdk" go through it...

    the vmdk file exists (see my attached files).

    When I try to see the features on the parameters, appears "the specified file is not a virtual disk" and all data in the pop-up are unknown or missing.

    I tryied to use the vmware_vdiskmanager with the command vmware - vdiskmanager.exe - R 'e:\appo1\IATROS VM.vmdk' in vain also.

    I think that it is necessary to recreate a file descriptor for disc divided into 2 GB files.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsotes/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026266

    but, if we compare the contents of the VMDK file with the discussion in the article, there seems to be no problem of format or content.

    There are suggestions to solve the problem?

    can I await your response?

    I tried

    $VMName = Get-VM NOM

    Si ()$VMName. ExtensionData . Tag -ne $null) {Write-Host "yes"}

    This works for a person who has a tag.  When I change - for - eq it does not report back what I thought was a null value.

    (Note that this works really not at all.  He referred to all the guests, the tag or not).

    Anyone can shed some light on this?

    Thank you.  Matt

    $vmlist = get - vm

    $vmlist | {(Get-TagAssignment $_) .length - eq 0} | Sort-Object -Property name | name of ft

    I have a box of ESX 3.5 U3 that runs on an IBM x 3850 I've lost any connection to.  The host and guests all show in VC as disconnected, but all guests are still running.  I feel that it is running out of disk because there is an error message on the Alt - F11 screen that says cpu0:1024) VMNIX: & lt; 0 & gt; SCSI: device can be offline - recovery on failed command error: host 1 channel 0 id 0 lun 0.  No lights error on the server or players.  If I ssh, I get ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host.  If I go to one of the other Alt + F, I can type a logon, but he never returns with a password.  The server responds pings and has backup management networks, but those who don't offer no connectivity either.

    All guests are on SAN LUN with 1 exception.  I tried to turn off one of the servers and the re-registration that it on another host, but it won't because there always is in a disconnected state.  I tried to remove the aggressor, but he sat in class for almost an hour now.  I would prefer not to have to drop this box there are some productions s VM on it.

    Sounds like you'll have no choice, but to power cycle the host. I recommend you contact vmware support befor taking this action. You can also prepare a scenario of recovery before taking any action.

    I am familiar with your SAN provider, but are there indications of errors on the SAN?
