• Receive error message when converting 5.1 VSphere virtual machine using VMWare Converter

  I am moving some Virtual Machines out of my server for VSphere, using VMWare Converter. When I select the source of success and the machine then I get a "failed to get hardware information for the selected computer". I tried two different machines. One is a Windows 7 and the other is a Windows Server 2003. The end of the game is to move them to a server with only VMWare Workstation.

  The research I've seen some users corrected it by changing the OS of the VM, but that did not help me. I have attached the diagnostic logs. Any help is appreciated.

  You must use the latest version of Converter 5.0.1 - 5.0 does not work

• The mouse is confused - almost impossible to use the virtual machine more...

  Hello

  I use a number of VMWare (6.0.7 build-2844087) sessions player on my i7 quad core Windows 8.1 system for separate processes.  I don't do anything in my main boot environment is nice and clean.  I have a player for web browsing, one for email and a few others (game, video editing, etc.).  This separation gives me an easy backup/restore option for any computer virtual as well as prevention 1 VMS are attacked/infected/hacked/etc most I can lose, it is what is in this virtual machine.

  Something broke all of a sudden.  I don't know if it was the last update for VMware tools or some change made by windows update or maybe even a setting that I did.

  But now, my mouse is very confused.  If you look at the picture, you can see 2 pointers.  The bottom is my VM. The top appears with the VMWare container think that the mouse should be there. And the relationship between the 2 pointers constantly changes.  So I can select something in the virtual machine, but the tank of the virtual machine can think the mouse is on the VM bar and when I click the virtual computer closes, presentation of the changes of the screen, minimize, etc..

  

  I did some research.  All of my text is set to the smallest size (the most common fix I found.)  I have re-installed VMWare tools.  I tried to change the mouse settings in my VM and the primary host environment.

  It's to the point where I can't click without 1st checking the top of the window on my main screen or risk losing work, etc..

  Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  Thank you

  If anyone is interested in distance, I finally solved the problem.  My guess is that I could have reinstalled the main operating system.  Instead, I've upgraded to 10 Windows and then installed Player 7.1.2.  On the plus side, no more problems with 2 pointers mouse with one randomly showing where and when he wanted.

  On the negative, I always have to press Ctrl-Alt to get to the VMWare bar at the top of the window.  But it is a small price to pay for now to be productive again.

  FWIW, my guess is that upgrading to 7.1.2 is really what makes the difference.

• What is the type of object to use for virtual machine model in the Points of Extension?

  Hello

  I added my plugin point of extension vsphere.core. ${objectType} .monitorViews. My plugin is for all types of objects (vm, file, vApp, resourcePool, etc) except the model of the virtual machine. My understanding is that the vm object type would be required for the virtual machine template, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something here? Should the plugin appear for the model of the virtual machine when I use the vsphere.core.vm.monitorViews extension point?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Ashutosh

  Sorry, I got confused by your original question. ExtensionPoint id you are looking for is the one for adding views a model virtual machine monitor tab:

  model.monitorViews vSphere.Core.

• How do the automatic deletion script clone virtual machines

  Hello

  We use the VM data recovery to clone virtual machines. We would like to clone some VMs on weekly basis but we need a script (or automatically) to remove the existing cloned VM automatically. VDR not clones a virtual computer when there is already a clone of this virtual machine.

  The easiest way is to use the Windows Task Scheduler.

• Windows 2008/2012 180 day trial can be used on Virtual Machines?

  I wonder if it's in the EULA to use tests of Windows with commercial virtual machines.

  I see that there are too many companies that offer these tests with their VPS service. I don't think it's OK. Therefore, I would ask.

  I also wonder if the detail Windows licenses can be used with commercial virtual machines.

  If I remember correctly, only the SPLA Licensing can be used on commercial virtual machines.

  Thank you.

• Is it possible to use a virtual machine like XP Mode to use a driver that is incompatible with Windows 7?

  The driver is for a former Lego Mindstorms USB IR Tower. The device itself appears in Windows 7, but there is no drivers compatible with a 64 bit version of Windows 7 or Windows Vista. I know with certainty that the driver is compatible with XP SP 2 and a 32-bit version of Vista, and it could be compatible with a 32-bit installation of Windows 7.

  I have XP Mode, set up on Windows 7 64 bit machine, but the unit will not go through to the virtual machine. I read on another forum that if the driver of a measuring device is not compatible with Windows 7 the device does not appear in the virtual machine.

  Is there a workaround that doesn't involve using a separate XP machine or installation of XP on a virtual machine of third party such as Oracle?

  Don't know if this will work in your situation, but you can disable checking 'signed' driver for Win7
  in the start menu. Jut tap F8 during Windows startup, and then choose-
  Disable the Driver Signature Enforcement among the startup options.

• Now need the capacity of resources using a virtual machine template

  Hi all

  Thanks in advance,

  I'm looking for a script Powercli who must give an output showing how these virtual machines can be deployed in ESXi cluster if the supplied virtual computer configuration example. @

  You could do something like that.

  Note that this is not a calculation of real slots to a cluster, which would require, by looking at the actual use of the VM largest.

  Also, note that the script uses the available threads, if the nuclei are needed the property for the CPU must be adapted.

  $vMem = 4

  $vCpu = 2

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $esx = get-Cluster-name $clusterName | Get-VMHost

• How to check disk space total used by virtual machine

  Dear team,

  I rec was a demand of the customer, he ask us to share the total disk space used by a virtual machine. I don't have any credentials to the total used space of control to verify. Is there a way I can check the disk space total used by the virtual machine offline.

  Note: we have implemented a virtual machine with the thin disk.

  concerning

  Mr. Vmware

  When you say that you have no credentials, I guess that this is designed for the guests, rather than to the ESXi hosts/vCenter Server operating systems! You can see the disk space used in the data store browser, executing CLI ls-lisa or by using a tool like RVTools third 3rd.

• How to use a virtual machine that requires more physical memory that I have?

  A colleague send me a Linux VM, he built on a machine with much more physical memory 4 GB I have in my Macbook Air.  When I started the virtual machine in Fusion, he said that the more physical memory virtual machine that I had and suggested that this would reduce the memory for the virtual machine to 3 GB.  I said OK and the machine started.  I did a lot of work in this virtual machine.  I suspended the VM because I needed to recover a portion of memory that he used for another application.

  When I try to start the virtual machine now, it says that it requires 4 GB of memory and that I should quit some applications or restart to free the memory required.  I tried both without success.

  Why the parameter / 3GB was not recorded when I suspended the VM?

  Given that I can't change the memory required for the virtual machine until it is properly closed and since then I can't stop the virtual machine without unsuspending it, I suspect that the VM is toast.

  Is it possible to recover the virtual machine?

  With VMware Fusion closed, you can remove the file from .vmss to to reset the VM to a shutdown state.  Note that whatever it is not recorded when he was suspended will be lost.

• Two servers to connect internal using the virtual machine even in a swimming pool?

  I was deploying a pilot here VDI environment.  Working with the deployment with the planning guides, most things went smoothly.  However, in practice (and by the guides and information online) I learned that ultimately it works best to have two individual servers to connect internal (not replicated). a dedicated to access internal only, and the other coupled with a security server in the DMZ.

  My question is, can a system (physical workstation w / agent or VM) live in a resource pool manual for two managers of internal connections?  What is the best way to manage a scenario in which a worker would use a specific virtual machine during the day (and thus the internal connection manager), verus remotely using this same VM?

  Also, when you have a connection to Server 2, should a 2nd database of events created in SQL, or if it can share the same database of events?

  Thank you!

  Lol this is not correct. For a mode environment that supports both internal and external users, it is true that you should have one or more servers dedicated to the internal connection and one or more dedicated for external, but they should all work as a replica group. for example, to install the first as a standard instance and others as a replica instance. In this way, users can access the same pools they are internal and external, administration can be performed only once on the entire environment.

  Architecture and planning guide is a good reference.

  http://pubs.VMware.com/view-50/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/view-50-architecture-planning.PDF

  In particular, look at the diagram page 61 that shows this. All 4 connection servers are in the same group of replicated, then it will have been installed as a standard and others installed as replicas. Of course, you don't have to have 4 unless you have HA needs, you can have just two and so without balancing the load, but in all these cases, the connection servers share the configuration via the replication data.

  I hope this helps.

• USB in UN vsphere virtual machine

  Hola

  Ahora veo en the Máquina virtual own that I can add a usb.

  ¿quiere decir esto as puedo mapear UN usb directly a Máquina esa?, TR're asi do not're arriesgado pinchar UN usb en el servidor how eso?, o simplemente el tema are are no me haria falta instalar any software fr the virtual machine?

• Virtual machine still sees ~ 200-300 MB less memory than... ?

  All,

  I'm sure the question is simple, but I'm curious.  I create a virtual machine (redhat x86_64 AS4u7) and I see less and less memory than assigned.  If I attribute 8 GB virtual machine to VIC, I see 7774 MB on the virtual machine when it arrives.  If I attribute 4 GB to VIC I see something like 3774.

  ESX claims a portion of memory for overhead or something?

  Not only not all questions for me, just would like to know why this happens.

  It's not fresh General suddenly sure and same happens when physical server as well.

  Thank you.

  Assuming that you have enough free disk space on the host ESXI 5.1 data store, I suggest you that you load the multiextent module as shown in the link, I posted and then clone the virtual disk using the vmkfstools command line utility.

  vmkfstools 'Windows w2k3.vmdk'-i 'clone.vmdk' slim-d - an ide

  vmkfstools EI 'Windows w2k3.vmdk' 'old.vmdk '.

  vmkfstools EI "clone.vmdk" "Windows w2k3.vmdk".

  The first line of the clones of the virtual disk in a virtual drive put in service end format, and the following two lines renaming virtual disks, so that you can delete the "old*.vmdk" files once the VM works as expected.

  Alternatively, you can also run the commands on the host ESXi 4.1 and then copy the new files hard again to avoid loading the multiextent module in the new host.
