vmrun clone: "operation is not supported"?

Hello

I'm trying to clone a virtual machine using vmrun with vSphere/ESX4 by using the following command line:

"C:\Program VMware VIX\vmrun.exe ' t h esx https://44.1.1.122/SDK u root password Pei clone '[datastore1] model 2003 Win/Win 2003 Template.vmx' "[datastore1] Win 2003 model-X/Win 2003 model - X.vmx" full

but I get the error:

Error: The operation is not supported

What the operation is not supported? I've not seen anything that suggests that ESX4 does not support clone.

Thanks advance.

To be completely explicit:

ESX supports the operation.

However, the VIX API and vmrun do NOT support the operation against ESX. Cloning a VM is much more complicated in the vSphere environment that is in a workstation environment and of the VIX API current does not expose this complexity; for example, Clone in vSphere must know the folder in which to place the clone resulting.

  • Linked clone failed: the operation is not supported on the object

    Hi all - I would appreciate help on a related clone operation that is a failure.

    I use Quest vWorkspace to create linked clone VM in my environment.  It integrates with virtual Center and creates from a VM snapshot parent according to normal related clones.  It has just stopped working and I am trying to track down the cause.  The task fails with the error message in the console of VMware vCenter: the operation is not supported on the object.

    The vCentre is 5.5 and esxi.  vWorkspace is v8.0 MR1.  The parent VM is located on an iSCSI datastore.  I tried to put the clones of destination on premises and warehouses of NFS data with the same result.  Unfortunately I can't (don't want really to) move the VM parent from the data store that I have of many VM related to this virtual machine.

    The failure message is a bit generic, so I looked on through the vmkernel.log and vpxa.log and it is an excerpt from the vpxa.log whereby it shows failed task 153.  Can someone please indicate something in the newspaper that had to be examined or another newspaper to look at?

    vWorkspace attached error and below:

    Linked clone has not CreateLinkedClone_Task of CloneVmLinked failed!

    Hello guys,.

    For those of you already on 5.5, I did a few tests these days. I did find a magic bullet yet as a single parameter that is sure to break but I came up with a workaround.

    I found that if my ESXi server was still on the 5.1, vWorkspace could deploy clones linked via vCenter 5.5 - it's only when the ESXi is also on 5.5 that you have a problem.

    If any of you have ESXi hosts still on 5.1, you can deploy there for now.

    In ESXi 5.x, it is easy to have an ESXi virtual machine. You might want to consider creating some virtual boxes ESXi to deploy on while the vworkspace dev team look at why it does not work.

    I know that this is not the best solution in the world, but it's better than no work around

    Thank you, Andrew.

  • vmrun return "this operation is not supported with the current permit.

    Hello

    I just installed the 5.1 esxi and I have 2 vm windows works well.

    I use the vSphere client to manage the hypervisor.

    I have not installed vCenter stuff, so it is just bare hypervisor os.

    When I ran the following:

    «vmrun t h 10.10.0.9:443 u vpxuser Pei xxx list esx»

    He returns with "this operation is not supported with the current permit.

    In fact, I have installed esxi5 on hypervisor licensing, do not know why I get this error message.

    Access the esxi5 through the sphere client works very well (I could create vm, take snapshots, etc.).

    Please let me know if I missed any steps. Thank you

    -antony

    Welcome to the community,

    with the free license of the hypervisor, access to vSphere API is restricted, which is most likely causing this issue. To unlock the API, you must have a paid license. Unless your host has already exceeded the 60-day evaluation period, you could try to revisit the evaluation mode to see if the command works as expected.

  • Printer does not work on the Windows XP computer, get the error message like "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported.

    Original title: 1. printer stopped communicating with the computer. 2 port - associated configuration error?

    I have a big problem. All of a sudden my printer - AIO Photo964 said he cannot communicate with my computer. The printer works fine. I tried switching cables USB, all the trouble shooting suggestions, etc. etc. Nothing works and it makes no sense. I can't print anything. I thought it would be that I installed a Seagate external hard drive backup, then I uninstalled the program - no help. ITunes installed recently, because she had changed the printer default, changed back - no help. The USB cable is not tight in the printer (or both cables, I tried), but AFAIK it's not new (?) And when I try to configure the port, I get the error message "an error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported"I have no idea what it means.  Can someone help me with this? I have to return a new printer? The USB port on the printer is repairable if this is the problem? How will I know? Who would do that?

    Thanks, I'd appreciate any help.

    It is always useful to have the complete error message without paraphrase.

    It also helps to identify the version of Windows you have, including service pack.

    And it helps to give the manufacturer of the printer in addition to the model.  In your case, I guess you have a Dell printer.  I know that some Dell printers are rebadged Lexmarks, but I don't know if it's a.

    Why you try to configure the USB port?  It cannot be configured - you've discovered.  It's normal.

    It's quite strange that an iTunes installation would have had something to do with the printers.  What printer was made by default after installing iTunes?

    You say you have tried another USB cable.  Have you tried using a different USB port on the computer? Have you checked in the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to see if there is all the warning icons in the category "controllers of Bus USB?

    I suggest you uninstall the printer software and driver completely and reinstall by following the directions in Its first Article.

    Don't skip step 4.  After step 4 and step 5, follow these steps:

    Important: If you have a Lexmark printer, skip the following

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

    net stop spooler
    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS
    net start spooler
    output

    Note that there is no space before the = and there is a space after it.

  • I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?

    Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation?  A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new.  If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.

    In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista.  Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

  • Error "operations is not supported on the object." when importing .ovf in the vCloud Director 5.5 machine

    I am trying to import a virtual machine (composed of three .mf, hard, .ovf files), when I try to download the VM, it gets downloaded 100% in the catalogs, but gives an error "Cannot create" as condition to the end and when I check the error in detail, it gives me that "operations is not supported on the object.". Checked the Virtaul Center, I get the same error that 'operations is not supported on the object."in the taskbar. Google it a lot but could not find a relevant solution.

    Just for the record I have DRS activated in full auto mode and only in the aggressive State.

    Can someone help me what I can do to remedy the problem.

    There are two parts to the upload.

    5.5 download dialog box represents the progression to the record of transfer vCloud Director of the FVO.  The download method is via the integration of Client plug-in (which uses the OVF tool).

    If the pop-up window can 100% success, I think that the element of the catalogue shows 50% and tries to download files to vCenter/ESXi as an import job.  If the import job fails, then you need to investigate the newspapers of vCenter/ESXi side for more details.

  • Virtual and models - computers cannot move the VM in the folder "operation is not supported on the object."

    Hey everybody,

    We are running vSphere 4.0. During the whole period that we used vSphere, we use vApps and Resource Pools hosts and Clusters to organize and manage the virtual machines used by our production team and test. From what I understand, this can be semantically incorrect (see: http://virtualizationreview.com/blogs/everyday-virtualization/2010/10/vsphere-folder-organization.aspx). So, I've navigated to models and virtual computers, created in folders with permissions of the user and tried to move their respective VMs to their folders... and I get the following error:

    "The operation is not supported on the object."

    So, should I go on the resolution of this or to leave things as they are?

    What are your opinions?

    Is there a right or wrong way to manage VMs of the multiple users?

    Thank you for your time and help,

    Johnathan

    Avinash21,

    Thanks for the tip.

    Move the virtual machines of the TIME solved the problem.

    When I suggest them to the root of the host, I was able to move in a user folder.

    Thanks again,

  • Reviews operations - the operation is not supported

    Hello

    I use vmware.vim api in a c# project. When I try to get the GuestAuthentication with AcquireCredentialIsGuest object, I get the following error:

    "A NotSupported server of type error with the message"the operation is not supported on the object."occurred during the requested operation operation."

    Orders are not disabled, virtualmachine, or on the host. I'm running out of ideas what could be wrong. Can someone help me?

    Code:

    GuestOperationsManager t (GuestOperationsManager) = customer. GetView (customer. ServiceContent.GuestOperationsManager, null);

    GuestAuthManager c = customer (GuestAuthManager). GetView (t.AuthManager, null);

    NamePasswordAuthentication userCred = new NamePasswordAuthentication();

    userCred.Username = "xxxx";
    userCred.Password = "xxxx";
    userCred.InteractiveSession = false;

    GuestAuthentication a = c.AcquireCredentialsInGuest (vm. MoRef, userCred, null);

    Thank you!

    Hi Méteron,

    If I understand correctly it train physicians AuthManager.AcquireCredentialsInGuest we are not allowed to use NamePasswordAuthentication with this method. Instead try to pass an instance of NamePasswordAuthentication directly to the method that requires authentication and do not GuestAuthManager at all.

    Hope this helps :-)

  • VixDiskLib_Cleanup always returns vixError (6) - the operation is not supported for the specified parameters

    Any ideas how we can determine what parameters it dislikes?  I am the appellant after VixDiskLib_Disconnect as recomment docs and using the same connection params struct I used with VixDiskLib_ConnectEx.

    Thank you

    Ron,

    I think that your connection is probably not use all transport advanced, in which case _Cleanup does nothing. If you connect without using advanced transport, cleaning returns 6 - there is nothing to clean up.

    Hello

    Generally, Toshiba does not support any operating system s that are not shipped with Toshiba laptops
    BUT there may be a small light at the end of the tunnel.
    As far as I know Longhorn is a new Microsoft OS Server which is not official on the market. (can I ask how you got this oS ;))
    The Longhorn supports parts of the Vista or free spoken is Vista with additional features.

    However, I think you should check out the Vista drivers available for Satellite A100 and Equium A100 series and possibly unique pilots will run

    When we try to install the software from the CD is States that the operating system is not supported. I went to the HP site and it detected running on Vista and downloaded the webpack_OJ8710_1881.

    A ran it and the same error, the operating system that is not supported. Tried running it as an administrator, even. Went into the temp folder to run the installer directly, even. Uninstalled the old 8600 printer, rebooted, tried the installation, same error.

    What else can we try?

    Thanks in advance,

    When I try to install Illustrator it says that I can not download it because Illustrator does not work on my operating system and verify the system requirements.

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8 located on the list of supported operating systems. I updated the software and I restarted, without success. I also managed to install and run the trial version for a month without any problem.

    Help please!

    What version of Illustrator? If it's CC, then you need Adobe Application Manager, also called creative cloud. All of the CC downloads arrive via this application.
