Virtual MACHINE suspended on Haswell, may not resume the Sandybridge, despite the CPUID Westmere-level masking in place

Hey jmattson (or similar to VMware guru gloss):

We have a virtual machine that fails to resume, despite my current understanding that should be. ESXi is 2068190 on both hosts.

VM has been started on a Haswell:

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.172Z | VMX | I120: FeatureCompat: no masks EVC.

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.181Z | VMX | I120: hostCPUID vendor: GenuineIntel

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.181Z | VMX | I120: hostCPUID family: 0 x 6 model: 0x3f stepping: 0x2

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.181Z | VMX | I120: hostCPUID name: Intel (r) Xeon CPU E5-2690 v3 2.60 GHz

With these CPUID hide in the VMX (must match exactly what the user interface reports as the mask of "Westmere"):

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.363Z | VMX | I120: DICT cpuid.1. EAX = 00000000000000100000011001010001

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.363Z | VMX | I120: DICT cpuid.80000001.edx = 00101000000100000000100000000000

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.363Z | VMX | I120: DICT cpuid.d.eax = 00000000000000000000000000000000

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.363Z | VMX | I120: DICT cpuid.d.ecx = 00000000000000000000000000000000

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.363Z | VMX | I120: DICT cpuid.d.edx = 00000000000000000000000000000000

2015 03-26 T 07: 02:43.363Z | VMX | I120: DICT checkpoint.disableCpuCheck = true

Now... Then we try to resume the virtual machine on a Sandybridge (same CPUID masking in force):

2015 03-26 T 08: 14:47.044Z | VMX | I120: FeatureCompat: no masks EVC.

And if does not work:

Based on my understanding (Westmere is a subset of the Sandybridge and Haswell), it must have worked.

Thank you

Thanks Jim - this was incredibly useful. Exactly the details I need to make choices about how to proceed.

Has taken the question, let: VM has when fails to resume because of the CPU compat, is there a way to know exactly what are the characteristics of the .vmss requires that the host cannot satisfy?

If you enable debugging for the virtual machine, you should see something like the following in the vmware.log file:

  • Using the same virtual machine on two macs, but not at the same time

    Hello

    I searched this site and the Internet in general, but I couldn't find an answer to this question, so my apologies if this is requested before and if so, please point me to the answer.

    I have an iMac with Bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional x 64 partition and everything works fine.

    I would like to install 6 Fusion and create a virtual machine from the Bootcamp partition, try it for a while and then delete the Bootcamp partition. I found a complete documentation about this and I should be able to do this without any problems, except perhaps for the reactivation of Windows.

    Now the question: since I move sometimes, I would like to be able to move this virtual machine on a Macbook Pro, so I must not move file, sync, etc., and the virtual machine will not at the same time. I read that you use Move so the address UUID and Mac do not change, but I don't know if this applies to move the virtual machine to another computer. If my is:

    (1) is it possible?

    (2) what I have to buy a second copy of Fusion 6 or there is a player that will allow me to run the virtual machine on the macbook?

    Thank you

    Luciano

    I have experimented with a Windows 7 VM, copied (but I have 2 licenses of retail sales) a mini Mac Core 2 Duo to a Core i7 MacBook Pro retina: well, despite the different processor, he did not ask a reactivation, strangely, even after a few resets. Windows 7 so, seems at least to be quite "tolerant", on this front.

  • Virtual machine locked... can not find the lock file

    Sorry if this was picked up elsewhere, but I'm relatively new to the Mac and VMware, and my search proved fruitless, so I thought I'd try to post. The situation is the following:

    I'm under VMware 2.0 on a MacBook Pro, and my computer virtual running Windows XP Pro. My Mac has does not respond this morning (on the left in the night market) and if I pressed the power button to restart manually. Once I did, started upward as per normal, but when I opened VMware to start my VM it tells me the my Win XP Pro has been locked. After finding several documented cases of this, I went looking for the lock file, but it is not in my folder /Users/ [name] / Documents/Virtual Machines. When I try to take ownership, he falls down, while it provides a Configuration file: /Users/ [name] / Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP/Professional.vmwarevm Windows XP Professional.vmx.

    I activated my finder to show all files in the folder (http://www.macworld.com/article/51830/2006/07/showallfinder.html), but still don't see the locking file. I searched (using the projector) for files hard .vmx and .lck .lock, nothing helps. I've seen a lot of discussion of the use of Terminal to solve this problem, but I have little (no) familiarity with Terminal Server or Unix, so I'm a bit wary of doing.

    Can someone tell me where I could find this lock file so that I can delete, or if not, how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    CTRL-click on the entry in the Virtual Machine library and select Show in Finder and then ctrl-click on the packaging of the Virtual Machine and select the content of the package.

    Close the merge and then delete the .lck files/files in the package of the Virtual Machine.

  • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

    I see that this error was mailed here, but can't seem to find a position with a resolution.

    We use Lab Manager 4.0.4 and just upgraded the hosts in our laboratory.  Before updating to ESXi 4.1 ESX 4.0 u1, we cancelled all VMs in all configurations.  There is none who were suspended, they were all turned off.  We have improved vcenter 4.0 to 4.1 as well.  We moved from a dell poweredge 1950 with two quad core intel L5410 to a r610 with two quad core intel processor E5506.

    When I try to turn on some of the lab configurations (our VM models all work fine), I get this error:

    • Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.

    I threw the State for the lab configuration (even if it was turned off and cancelled) and still get this message.  I guess the processor architecture of these chips is quite similar, and both are Intel.

    If I go into this directory of Manager of laboratory inside the data store for one of these virtual machines that does not light and add to the inventory, he turned and starts fine on my server esxi 4.1.  So how do Lab Manager to get account it's well deploy and start it?

    Hey billk.

    Although not supported completely, you can solve it by going to the SQL of Lab Manager database.  Make sure that you back up your database before you do anything like that.

    Open the table "fsdir" and corresponds to the dir_id with the id Lab Manager VM.  Once you find the relevant line, change suspend_proctype_id to null (Zero-Ctrl).  You can do this while Lab Manager is still running.

    The results can be unstable (i.e. Windows can crash if it was a drastic change of CPU), but at least you look at a hard reset.  The bat reset certainly not being able to return to the previous state.

    Also note that while Lab Manager does not include CVS, if you activated, your virtual machines still work in CVS mode.  If you have a mixture of heterogenious of hosts in a cluster for Lab Manager, you can see this question pop up a lot.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with take back the virtual machine because of the VCA, but Lab Manager thinks otherwise and prevents it.

  • Several virtual machines are running, but are not in stock

    Hi all

    I hope that someone has experienced this condition and can help.

    Here's what I have.

    I have 13 VMs (Windows-based) I did some tests with the help of EMC RP DR. All servers in a group to ensure consistency with the two LUNs. I was able to failover of the environment on the site of copy and then restore to the original location.

    However, today when I didn't return the case I lost 4 virtual machines.

    -J' have 9 virtual machines I see in vCenter Server

    -The virtual machines that I've "lost" are running, and I can connect using RDP, but they do not appear in vCenter Server

    -Virtual machines are in their records in their data warehouses. When I find the appropriate folder and try to add to the inventory, the option is grayed out. Which suggests that the VM is saved, but when I search I do not see the instance.

    PowerCLI command revealed that the two Mas I have 9 powered on virtual machines. Like I said all 13 virtual machines are running.

    I asked each his vmInventory.xml of the host in the cluster file servers registered on all hosts are 9 instead of 13.

    I have not disassembled the DS during operations of RecoverPoint failover, power off just the virtual machines.

    Fortunately, this environment is not in full production, but which is the right thing.

    Someone at - he encountered this rather odd situation.

    If relevant, Bay storage is EMC VNX and access is any block.

    Why oracle.exe takes 8 Virtual G; bytes, memroy target may not go beyond 5 G. How to minimize the virtual bytes perfmon

    Thank you for your time and help.

    When you talk about Oracle.exe you seem not to take into account

    -L'executable memory will too

    -Oracle is a multithreaded Windows process, so memory consumption goes also to the different client that are connected to the database session.

    This means, you consume approximately 3G of memory beyond the LMS, and it is quite reasonable.

    So if you want to make sure that oracle consumes less than 8G memory, you have two options

    -reduce the SGA

    You spend more than 50 percent of the memory of the SGA. Oracle has never recommended that

    You might be willing to v$ sga_target_advisor allows you to see the impact of this change.

    You may also set your SQL queries

    -the second option you have is to stop Oracle.

    For sure it will use less than 8G in this solution.

  • How to move a virtual machine to another store of data on the same host

    Hello

    I have a single ESX4 host with 3 data warehouses and I need to move a virtual machine to another data store, how can I do that since I don't have the ability to migrate the virtual machine when I am connected directly to the client with vSphere host and I do not have a server vCenter also?

    Thanks, Julien

    Hello

    Yes, you can use #vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM/VM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM1/VM1.vmdk

    For the record, the data store must be shared if you copy of VM and VM must be turned off. In the above command you copy VM.vmdk to VM1.vmdk and add the newly created with this existing VMDK VM.

I have 333 links so what I shell do? Please help me, I have to finish this work, we need print it out as soon as possible.

    I had this problem after an Indesign file that we've been working on the opening of my colleague. She has made a few changes and then when I went back to work on the file of the library of all the links were broken and I had him "you don't have to leave."

    I've corrected the problems by opening Illustrator and rename the library. InDesign revived and everything from the library was connected properly.
