• 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-

  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!

• One of the virtual machine gets the APIPA address after you have configured with a static IP address, where the other VMS works very well with same vlan with static IP

  We have deployed 3 VMs with the same vlan where one virtual machine gets APIPA address, even after the configuration of the IP address manually.

  We do not have servers DHCP and other VMs 2 find with the same vlan

  No IP address is not used by another system and another IP address works

  Meanwhile, I just googled and got a God save the link that helped me in the question of fixing

• Virtual MACHINE starts automatically after a power outage of the entire site?

  Hello

  We use ESXi 5.5.

  If there is a power for the datacenter failure, ESXi hosts must be restarted when power is resumed.

  We wonder if VMs will be launched automatically to the top?   If not, this means that we must allow the "starting the Virtual Machine / stop option.

  If we put a number of virtual machines in "automatically start", such as VM1, VM2, VM3 on ESXi Server one, VM4 VM5 ESXi Server b.   Virtual machines are migrated between ESXi servers and how they can keep the boot sequence?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Dear Tony,

  I ask you to create a vApp and configure accordingly on your vCenter boot order.

• How to make the virtual machine starts automatically after power is declining for all ESX host?

  We meet just power down and lost electricity ESX host.

  When we start the ESX host, we can on each individual virtual machine.

  Y at - it a setting that we can put in place for these VMs critics may start se?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Thanks for your advice. He agrees with your saying that the start / stop sems to be buggy.

  It's only disable it every time that you enable VMware HA.

  But it works (if enabled) and may be useful to define how the system starts up.

• Will be the virtual machine starts on another host (during the blackout) if he can't switch to Maintenance Mode?

  Hello

  We use a cluster with 2 5.1 ESXi hosts.  When attempting to place an ESXi host in Maintenance mode, he failed and said "not enough resources to satisfy configured level of failover for HA.

  We would like to know, just in case where one of these ESXi hosts failed, VMs will be start on another ESXi host (at least some) or all of them will be down (i.e. None of them start)?  If no virtual machine will be migrated, we will change our level of failover for HA.

  Thank you

  This occurs when you enable admission control on your HA cluster. When the failure of the host occurs and you have Admission control is enabled, it will let all market on the other host machines because it violates the constraints of availability.

  If you turn this off all VM is switched even if you do not have enough resources to accommodate all the s VM on a single host. On a long term, I would say that you have sufficient resources to allow this to happen. But for now, you can turn it off and try.

  

• 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.

• Virtual machine starts as soon as I open VMWare

  I think I said to VMWare Fusion to start my Windows XP virtual machine automatically everytime I open VMWare fusion.  I don't like it and want to go back, but could not find the setting anywhere.  Can someone tell me where to change that, so I open VMWare Fusion and then separately tell him to open my virtual machine separately?

  Thanks in advance.

  The setting can be found in the Virtual Machine library - click on the orange star to turn this option off.

• Activate the Virtual Machine start and stop

  Hello

  I'm not activate Virtual Machine Startup and shutdown I don't know what is right.

  

  Hello

  This is the VMware KB which provide a workaround to enable this option for VMs on ESXi hosts in cluster HA active.

  VMware KB: Automatic Virtual Machine Startup / Shutdown in ESXi hosts in a cluster VSA is turned off

  Last time (couple of years back), when I was researching on this topic, I found that these settings are applied only when the virtual machine is on the same host ESXi, and once his migrated to another ESXi host for this VM autostart option is lost and needs to be reconfigured again. I don't know if this behavior changed with new versions of vSphere.

  I hope this helps.

• The Virtual Machine start/stop

  Is it possible to script the configuration of start/stop VM on an ESXi host?

  Thank you

  There are scripts out there that can do this, but I think it can help you:

  Remember that this will not work if you use a cluster HA as already mentioned.

• Models of virtual machines that are not visible after reinstalling Virtual Center

  Hello

  I can see patterns in data warehouses, but not covered by the option "display" under models and virtual computers?

  This happens sometimes.  You can browse the data store (s) in question, right click on the file .vmtx and add to the inventory?

• Unable to start the virtual machine after failing to remove the snapshot

  Recently, I tried to delete a snapshot on a Windows XP virtual machine in VMware server 2.0. After a few minutes, the operation has failed, then the GUI crashed. I was not able to manage one of my virtual machines until I rebooted the server. My other virtual machines still work fine. I can't just run the virtual machine on which I tried to remove the snapshot. This virtual machine is very important to me and I would try to get it back. Does anyone have advice? Also, I upgraded this version of VMware server 1.x to 2.x, so please let me know if this may have something to do with this problem. Thanks in advance.

  An additional note. If the virtual machine starts, I suggest that you run chkdsk, just to make sure that there are no problems with the file system of the client.

• Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

  It shows:

  This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  VMware Workstation 12.1

  Hello

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

  Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

  See also:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

  You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

• Cannot start the unique virtual machine after you have patched ESXi to 4.1.0 800830

  I patched a standalone ESXi host yesterday, leading a successful ESXi 4.1.0 800830 upgrade.

  The majority of my virtual machines started very well but it fails to start with the following error (as the specified file does not exist (?)). As I've not met it before, and I'm running out of time, anyone would offer nuggets of wisdom while I continue to trawl the web / these forums for a response?

  

  Thank you

  Carl

  Can you browse the data store where is stored the than VM and check what files you see in the directory for this virtual machine? The error claimed that it cannot find a file of virtual disk for this virtual machine.

• Unable to start the virtual machine

  Recently had to reboot my computer because windows updates and accidentally shut down the system while the virtual machine is running.

  After the reboot, I noticed the server was not running and cannot be started with the above error.  His runs on 10.1 workstation and I'll show you the log file.  Also deleted the .lck files but still no luck.

  Restart all of the services, they seem to stop and start cutting.

  Please help thanks!
