• Clone the virtual machine between two ESX 3.5.0 servers (low connection)

  Hi all!

  I have two ESX 3.5.0 servers that are managed by a vCenter servers one have just the connection of 32 KB.

  I need to clone one of my virtual machines from one to the other ESX is W2k8 created with 40 GB HARD drive. I tried to start it clone trough my low connection, but the task is about 86% for 4 days :|

  Is it possible to clone virtualmachine on one of my ESX for its local storage and after that, get it by vCenter for example an external HARD drive and then copy them all to my second ESX? How to run copied virtual machine on my second ESX? Maybe I can do it with another way - ideas?

  Two ESX are the same versions and machines, only the names and the ip addresses are different.

  Thanks for the tips

  Kris

  I don't think it is possible since the virtual disk will be 40 GB in size - I was suggesting using a laptop as a server NFS ESX sees and access the virtual machine for this storage clone - it take the first vessel of ESX host it to secondary site attach NFS datastore on the second ESX Server and using the browser of data store you navigate to the cloned VMX of VM file and to him the second ESX host - you can cold migrate leaving the second host and then move the cursor above for the storage you want.

• Slow access to the virtual machine network (Windows 2008 Server 64-bit) Windows 7.

  Hello.

  I have a problem when you access files shared on a Windows 2008 Server 64 bits on a client computer to Windows 7. It takes a long time (up to a few minutes) to for example open a Word file from the network share. It is not always, but quite often.

  This also happens on two different servers client with almost the same equipment. Which is a basic IBM x 3400 with hard drives in RAID. I disabled the feature of unloading TCP/IP on the network inside the VM card.

  Someone has an answer for this? Have I missed something, a configuration perhaps? I'm totally lost here...

  Kind regards

  Remove the virtual machine from the inventory and edit VMX manually deleting the reference to this disk. After that, add the machine virtual back again for the inventory.

• resize the disk space on the virtual machine

  Hello!

  I have a small problem, when I converted a virtual machine on my esx server so I chose 14FR for the virtual machine.

  But I now realize that I need more space on the virtual machine. but the problem is that I stop the virtual machine and

  give more space but the does not get more space than any alcolated in diskmgmt. and there I have to

  make a new partition.

  Can I add a disc more on C: by do not format the drive? or can I add more disk space to a new partition

  (if I add 20 GB now and want to add 20 extra GB to the same partition in 2 months or something like that?) ??

  Thank you

• 12.04.01 Ubuntu x 86-putting in place a virtual Windows XP machine to access the physical disk

  Dear community,

  I'm new to VMware Workstation, but progressed in computer science.

  At first, I want to give you a brief introduction of my system and my goal.

  HP ProBook 6550 b (System with Intel Core i5 processor Intel-based)

  The HARD drive access mode: S - ATA AHCI

  Operating systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04 x 86, Ubuntu 12.04 x 64

  Boot Manager: GRUB2

  VMware Workstation (trial period) to 9.01 Linux x 86

  Goal: install MS Windows XP Professional with physical disk access several partitions on the hard drive local

  The installation of VMware Workstation 9.01 on my system Ubuntu 12.04 x 86 worked perfectly, without any error. Large.

  I was able to set up and run a Windows XP VM standard by creating a new virtual disk , following the Nice Wizard.

  It was just to test, but just after I tried to configure the same OS as a virtual machine using a physical disk (for advanced users) to directly access a local hard drive.

  Also, I selected "BusLogic (recommended)" on the choice of type of I/O controller.

  As a device, I chose the HARD internal laptop drive and used two individual partitions (the real partitions on my HARD drive I wanted access within the virtual machine).

  These partitions have been preformatted with NTFS (and not have been mounted in my Ubuntu).

  However, I was not sure if Windows XP has been will be installed on one of these partitions.

  The turn on/off the virtual machine to install the OS, I got the message following (msg1):

  "You are using a SCSI drive. Performance of dual-boot SCSI physical drives are poor. The installed operating system could not start correctly in the virtual machine. However, the physical SCSI disks work normally so exclusively in the virtual machine. »

  Just after the message following (msg2):

  "If you dual-boot a native Windows installation, problems can occur when attempting to start your system in VMware Workstation." For more information, see "http://vmware.com/info?id=128". "
  Click OK to continue, Cancel to power off.

  And finally this (msg3):

  «An error has occurred causing a virtual CPU go into the stop State.» If this anomaly had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine restart. The stop State are accessible by properly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system or a problem in VMware Workstation.
  Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to turn off the virtual machine. »

  I cannot explain the last error message and don't know what to do.

  After specifying msg2, I found information about possible problems in dual-boot environments, caused by different drivers for the IDE controller.

  So I tried to change the access mode to S - ATA AHCI HARD drive to S - ATA IDE in the BIOS to solve the problem.

  Unfortunately, I have had no success on this operation, because the error message appeared again, once I restarted the VM.

  Sorry, but I have no idea what goes wrong.

  In fact, I don't know what VMware workstation wants to do, when you install the system on a disc/physical partition to have direct access to the local hard disk.

  Because I don't see even the first screen of Windows Setup, there must be something wrong.

  Underlying product system issues and if it's a primary or logical partition?

  Need a complete unformated HDD?

  Only selected partitions are accessible within the virtual machine?

  Is the system installed itself on the selected partitions?

  Maybe some experienced users can help.

  Your help is welcome!

  Thank you.

  First I use a raw disk to install Windows XP from a virtual machine, but if I had an existing installation, I would add the partition as a raw to be executed with a VM disk.

  Here's what I'd do...  Install Windows XP to a normal file based virtual machine, and then add a second disk as a raw disk with the partitions you want to join.  That's assuming that you really need not where what to start Windows XP natively and the physical partitions that access are used for data.  Also if need be add the raw disk as IDE.

• I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

  Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

  I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

  If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

  Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

• Where to put the virtual machine in a field of muti-user PC?

  Have the virtual machine just like I want but its currently located under the user name of the administrator who was connected when it is created.  Is there a better way to put the file to the Virtual Machine somewhere NOT specific user to all connected users can access from a shortcut on the desktop?  Thank you.

  Hello.

  You can place it everywhere where is most convenient.  I usually use something short like C:\VMs, so I can't look away!

  Good luck!

• Disks of the virtual machine consolidation is necessary - vCenter 5.1 U1 + ESXi 5.1 + VDP 5.8.0

  Hello

  I am facing problem as many other people do, when snapshot is deleted, the delta files are still there and warning message "consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary" is shown on the virtual machine.

  It happened only few but try to find the root cause. He arrived only on virtual machine located on ESXi 5.1 build 799733 which is located in the task of the WTP 5.8.0 backup.

  Is this snapshot problem, a bug in the version of ESXi?

  Unable to find the release notes, where this is documented as bug.

  Thank you

  Finally, I found a reason, therefore, for other users... ESXi 5.1 build 799733 has a bug that is resolved in the update 1 and higher and is connected to the suspended snapshots created by POS, that is why are there so many discs of delta.

  ESXi 5.1 Update 1 Release Notes

  • When the slowdown of snapshot fails the redo logs are not consolidated
    • When you try to take a snapshot of the suspension of a virtual machine, if the snapshot operation fails near the end of its realization, recovery logs created as part of the snapshot are not consolidated. Recovery logs can consume a lot of space to store data.
    • This issue is fixed in this version. If the snapshot suspended operation fails, the redo log files are consolidated.

• Is it necessary that the guest OS to support SSD if the file of the virtual machine is placed on an SSD?

  Dear,

  I have a plan to set up a file of the virtual machine on an SSD. The host system is windows 10 (on an other SSD, I'll use 2 SSD), it should support the SSD very well.  Then comes the question: should I also install an OS that needs support also guest SSD?

  My opinion is it does not matter since the disk i/o operation is made by host operating system, it is the host operating system which finally determin whick block data will be published (optimization of the disk).

  Am I wrong? Thank you.

  Sorry for the enigmatic answer...

  In your case, the answer is Yes: he cares about the type of media, while the virtual disk is a vmdk (virtual material treaty) and placed in an SSD.

  There are a few cases where you might use a physical disk directly to the virtual machine (called peripheral raw disk or RDM in vSphere environment).

• adaptation of the virtual machine in the other place

  Hello

  In one of our vmware servers we show you two data warehouses. 1 for the VM running and 1 store backup data on another location.

  The backup I do by hand with a copy command on the prompt of the server. It works well, but I have a little problem. The disk of the virtual machine are thin provided (for example 6 GB) but when I make a copy of data backup-store command tot they get the same size (40 GB).

  I use the command cp with the sparse function, but it does not work.

  Anybode any idea?

  Thank you

  You cp for all files except the vmdk files.

  For those, you can use vmkfstools.

• How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

  VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.

  
  

  I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

  You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

  1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

  2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

  3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

  4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

  5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

  6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

  7. run your virtual machines as before.

  When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

  Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

• How do I create standard vSwitches in a HA cluster where the virtual machine switches to the same network?

  I have a lab put in place with 2 hosts 5.5 ESXi and vCenter.  I want to create a situation where each virtual machine must have a dedicated network card.  If I create vSwitchABC on host 1, what should I do on host 2?  Create vSwitchABC on that host too and connect it to the same physical switch?  Which will allow the host 1 failure and the virtual machine to arrive on host 2 on the network because the same vSwitch names?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the community-Yes, you need to create a vswitch on host 2 has a virtual machine port group with the same name on host 1 connection on the same subnet as connected to the host - 1
