VM moving from one machine to another

Hi guys,.

I have problem for move/copy the vm in vmware Server 2.0 from one physical server to another.

Server physical orig: Intel 1530CLR with WinXP x 64 Pro Server is installed.

Destination server: Server 1530AHLX Intel with WinServer 2003 R2 x 64 installed.

The two server VMware server 2.0 installed. The virtual computer OS is RHEL ES 4.4 32 bits.

The virtual machine works perfectly on the home server, but I have to move it to another machine. I have turned off the virtual computer, copied the directory on the same path on the destination server. Then, I am trying to add the virtual machine in VMware server 2.0.

I get the following error:

& lt; quote & gt; The selected virtual machine is not recognized on this system. The cause of this problem is perhaps that the virtual machine's .vmx file is corrupted, or that the version of virtual machine is more recent that is recognized by the host. You can delete the VM inventory if you believe that it is not recoverable. Click on the link below to remove the virtual machine from the inventory. Delete Virtual MachineTo help diagnose the problem, you can check the virtual machine files to their last known location: "[VMS] VSTESTS/VSTESTS.vmx" & lt; / quote & gt;

Another thing I've tried to do is to create the new virtual machine and attach the file hard... but another error here: "the selected file is not a valid virtual disk file. Please choose another... "

However, I uninstalled (on the destination server), VMware Server and installed VMware player - and hurray!... the virtual machine is running.

It is not a Virtual Machine specific, because I tried to copy a two other VM, and same result here...

So, the conclusion is that this is not a hardware failure (it runs on VMware Player), but miss some boring setups.

I have these files in the folder of the virtual machine:

ILLINUXVS01. NVRAM

ILLINUXVS01.VMDK

ILLINUXVS01.vmsd

In the hard file, the lines that start '1.' should begin with a character ' # '-that's what your have actually. It is preferable to attach files to messages rather than copy and paste.

Other virtual machines that you have running, they are the same encoding (windows-1255)? I have not added your .vmx file to my inventory, no problem. Other than expected, differences if you compare a vmx work and and this 'broken' with something like windiff, see anything? Feel free to post, as to fix, a .vmx server target.

  • Moving from one machine to another HARD drive because of hardware failure, need to reactivate. Need help.

    Trying to help someone, their Compaq PC dies M/B or failure of the CPU. I am replacing a similar age of old IBM ThinkCentre o. Both machines have a valid XP license attached, the Compaq has XP Home, IBM has XP Pro. When installing the IBM HARD disk, I get the message that it must be enabled before it can connect, activation fails try to use the automated system, and when I called and tried to talk with a MicroSmurf of India, the female [explitive omitted] disconnected the call before I could try to explain the situation. (Both for customer service).

    I need to know how to get this thing to validate and let me log, because, at the very least, I kinda need to run the file and Settings Transfer Wizard so everything works out on an external drive.

    I tried to use the Hack on MyDigitalLife, Yes, I know, designed for crackers, but it is legitimate, but the tool it is infected with a Trojan, so I had to spend.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Remember that here, there is no attempt to violate the license: the 'new' machine has a valid license attached, the OS just needs to be informed of such.

    Thank you

    Licenses on these machines are more likely to OEM licenses and so are related to the first machine to which they were installed on.  So, when your Compaq is dead, then no license.  What you need to do is install the Compaq drive has failed as an extra drive (secondary) on the IBM. Sometimes, when you do this, the computer will attempt to start since incorrect disk.  If when you start your IBM machine, you must press the key at the beginning that sends you in the settings of the BIOS on the computer.  Somewhere in the BIOS settings, you must specify that you want the IBM to boot from the original disk which has been in the IBM instead of the disk from Compaq.  Once you do this, IBM should start from its own drive without licensing issues.  You should then see the Compaq drive mounted as a secondary drive under "My Computer".  You will then be able to copy or back up files, you need to save this record.

  • Microsoft Word - moving from one computer to another.

    I have an old laptop with XP Home on it. I bought a new laptop and installed Windows 7 above. Windows 7 is Microsoft word. How can I move old laptop Microsoft Word again?

    Hello MrPPP,

    If you bought Microsoft Word then you should have a CD of Microsoft Word. Just re - install Microsoft Word, using CD on your new PC.

    If Microsoft Word came pre-installed, then, unless the PC manufacturer gave you a copy of the CD in Microsoft Word, you won't be able to mover it from one machine to the other.

    Although Microsoft Word is, probably, the best available word processor application there are alternatives. For example, OpenOffice is free and contains a set of processor (which will open .doc files) as well as a map of computing and other similar to Microsoft Office applications. You can see OpenOffice here: http://download.openoffice.fm/free/?pk=10305

    This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  • Moving from one Collection to another PC

    I use Windows 7 and 6 LR.  I am trying to create a slideshow, but I was told that my graphics card is not enough to see a preview or play them as the photo is just a black square showing only the outline and the title.  I then tried exporting at the thought of video that I might be able to do what I want ultimately to make the creation of a video without the consultation on my PC, but that only accidents of LR.

    I used some photos in my laptop and the overview or the game works very well there.  So here's my question now.  Is there a way to export a Collection of photos of a USB key, so I can import it into my laptop to create the slide show there.  I spent a lot of time to organize photos in the collection in the order that I want to play.  I'm worried that export and import all photos will then have to be organised once more.  Export a collection will keep their sequence, or if not the photos can be tagged with a sequence.  BTW, my slide show has had hundreds of photos.

    As you can imagine, I would be VERY grateful for anyone's help.

    With the active Collection in Lightroom, select all the photos in the grid. On the file menu, choose 'Export in the catalogue' to create a catalog with these images. Check 'Export negative files' and 'include available previews. You can export to an external drive, and you will be able to run this directly from this drive on another machine that involved Lightroom.

  • VMDK moving from one server to another

    We have a server ESXi free vSphere 4 a third device that uses of 200 GB of hard drive space.  We must move from this server to another server ESXi 4 only 130 GB of free space.  So my question is how to move and how reduce us it?

    We have a company of vSphere 4.1 license, so we have converter but that would work in this case since niether the source or destination servers are allowed?

    Hello

    You can use stand-alone Vmware converter to migrate the virtual machine to an ESXi host to another host ESXi. During this process,.

    You can play with the size of vmdk. You can go to advance tab and increase or decrease the size of vmdk, add another vmdk and move the partition to an another vmdk etc...

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • Moving from one computer to another - PSE 5

    The time has come to move image files and the catalog from one computer to the other.  Currently, I have pictures stored on a pc, but have developed my catalog of files on a laptop computer that accesses the computer via a local home network.  The laptop is Windows 7, and the old pc is Windows XP.  Successfully, I've updated the laptop recently and have catalog resident on her, transferred by the migration of W7 option.  The catalogue, however, do not attach tags and appropriate legends and yet I can access the images on the old pc successfully once I have reconnect, in batches.

    The old pc is about to die and I would move the image files to a newer version with Windows Vista.  At the same time, I would like to transfer my laptop catalog to the new pc and make it work on my new laptop.  I installed the program PSE 5 on the new pc and was looking for a way to move (I'm not really sure of what 'on the move' {means, but I read it in a few discussions, seemed important to use PSE 5 program to accomplish this step} but could not find a move command in the section of the FILE that does not involve an intermediary device such as a CD) , as opposed to simply using my local network.

    Can anyone guide my through the steps necessary to restore my catalog on the laptop and transfer the images from the old pc and the mobile catalog for the new pc?  I can still access the catalog on the old laptop if necessary file, but its screen is tempermental and not likely to be visible for a long time.

    I use PSE 5 especially for its organizational capacity related to the tags and captions.  I know that the software has advanced at least 3 generations from PSE 5 and I would consider an upgrade if the organizational aspects are higher in the new versions.  To facilitate what I want to do?

    This type of difficulty facing many users when migration is required for all purposes.

    Still hopeful - David

    Backup and restore order through you move all the images from the old pc to new pc. In case you want to move all images to the network location, it will be a separate process and you can use the command MOVE to make.

  • Missing data in XP after the transfer from one machine to another

    3 xp machines do a restore destructive on a saved data machine xp in 2 files twice, the xp machine, the data are on slow so I put it in another to copy the disk after the machine notes that the data he copied only half and the other half is missing. I was single click copy right and whenever I do more data are missing? Idea of this itn was the first time I work with several types of OS but XP is the only one who did this is there a solution?

    Hi HarrisonLane,

    You can run a check disk on the hard drives & check if the problem persists.

    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

    It may be possible to recover the missing files by using data recovery software. There is no Microsoft recovery tool to recover the lost data. However, you can use your favorite search engine and download any third-party data recovery software.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.

  • Licens moving from one pc to another

    I'm moving my software PS Element from an old PC to my new. How to do that. What to uninstall and then install it on the new or do conflics with the license?

    You are allowed to have two active facilities, so if you want, you can keep the original as a backup.  If you do not then you must disable the original at least so that you keep the activation should find you a use for it on another machine.  To disable it you open the program and choose Help-> Deactivate

  • Problem moving from one page to another on the Web site

    When I access this site with Firefox
    I can't go beyond the first page. The problem is the same on our second computer. If we use Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, everything works fine. I tried the unblocking of the popups in the option settings, and it makes no difference. I can't directly compare the internet in other browsers proxy servers re access settings because basically, I do not understand the information on the screens! Help!

    If you use ad blocking extensions, could you try to make an exception for the site?

    If that doesn't help and you want someone to look at your list of modules, you can copy and paste into the second table here ("Extensions"):

    Help > troubleshooting information

    Alternatively, you can try these sites with your add-ons disabled using Firefox Safe Mode. Use

    Help > restart with disabled modules

    In the dialog box, not the check boxes, click on "continue mode without failure." If the sites work as expected, then the most likely cause is one of your modules.

    Is it that help at all?
