• VMware vCenter Converter problem

  I have a VMware vCenter Converter problem! I downloaded it and it now resides in the "Finder" as an .exe file, but it's all text! When I open it, the caption at the top says it cannot be run in DOS mode. All the 30.1 MB there is then now that do I do?  I don't know that I jumped through the hoops required to access the program for download on my Mac VM.

  BTW, VMware Converter has its own Forum.

  I would like to start by reading the documentation for the product you are trying to use.

• EFI Netboot Windows 7 VM

  Hello

  I would like to clone a virtual machine with deploystudio in order to deploy it on my Mac.

  I use Fusion 6.0.5.

  I prepared a vm win7 and installed the OS (win 7 pro SP1 X 64).

  I stop the machine virtual and then modified the vmx adding = "efi" firmware file

  I boot with efi:

  

  He does not see my hard drive and it does not netboot.

  I realized my dhcp server gives an ip address.

  On my mac, I can netboot.

  Did I miss something?

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi marcolefo12and welcome to the VMware communities!

  If you want the virtual machine to NetBoot an OS X Server (or compatible NetBoot server), you will need to change the type of OS invited to take account of the BONE which will start inside the virtual machine.  NetBoot is very different from the PXE, and our virtual EFI firmware will use PXE to non-Apple guest OSes and only use NetBoot to prompt Apple OSes.

  With the virtual machine powered off the coast, in the Virtual Machine menu, choose settings..., then choose general.  Next to the OS, choose Apple Mac OS X and an appropriate OS X version and the number of bits (remember to choose a 64-bit version if your DeployStudio installation is 64-bit only, for example).

  Then turn on the virtual machine and it should initiate DeployStudio.

  Let us know if it works!

• VMWare mouse click problem

  We currently have a problem that has been experimented on VMWare Workstation 7 and VMWare Player 3.1.6 build-744570 and VMWare Workstation 7.1.6 build-744570.

  
  The problem causes mouse clicks are ignored in the guest OS and seems to occur after a sound is played within the guest OS.  The problem can be reproduced by opening Windows Explorer and navigate through the folders by double clicking on the file.  After opening a file and then try to open another folder or by selecting a file in the folder, some other mouse clicks are ignored for a period of time (about 3-5 seconds).  The same thing occurs if a Windows application displays an error message.  The only solution we have found so far is to disconnect the sound between the host and the guest operating system: VMWare menu > Removable Devices > Audio > Disconnect.

  
  The problem was first lived after an upgrade to laptop for the host operating system (upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1) and a new model of Lenovo Thinkpad.  This problem occurs in virtual machines that we work very well with old laptops using the same versions of VMWare.  We are speculating that the question must relate to 8.1 of Windows or the audio driver in the host operating system (or a combination).

  
  The driver in the host operating system is:
  Realtek High Definition Audio
  Driver date: 18/02/2014
  Driver version: 6.0.1.7179

  
  Used laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad W540 (although this has been seen with other versions of laptop computer Lenovo)

  
  The host operating system version is: 8.1 64-bit Windows.

  Everyone knows these symptoms?

  Hello srdev78:

  I had this same problem where the mouse click in the guest operating system stopped

  work immediately the sound card on the host system began to read any audio

  from any source (iTunes, etc.).

  So, for example, everything in the OS, including the clicks of mouse, guest should work

  as planned until the moment wherever I would start playing audio of my host system, i.e. to

  Firefox, iTunes, whatever. Then immediately audible is by the speakers, mouse

  Click the stop registration completely comments. At this point, the guest operating system is accessible

  only via the keyboard of the host system. The audio source on the host system has no importance

  as long as the audio drivers are loaded and sound starts streaming from the

  the computer speakers.

  The solution that worked for me was uninstalled the Realtek High Definition Audio

  drivers provided by Lenovo and returning on Microsoft default Audio drivers. Now

  my clicks of the mouse in the guest OS to register as expected and without any problem and I'm

  productive all at the same time listening to music of my host system.

  Description of the host system:

  -Lenovo W540 (32 GB of RAM, 1 GB M550 Crucial SSD)

  -Windows 10 Enterprise x 64 (current with all updates from Microsoft)

  -VMware Workstation 12 Pro (12.1.0 build-3272444)

  Description of the guest system

  -Windows 7 Professional x 64 (current with all updates from Microsoft)

  -Current with VMware Tools.

  FYI - I uninstalled "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" version 6.0.1.7572 which was

  provided by Lenovo Lenovo system update utility. In my case, this problem started after

  I upgraded my host system to 10 Windows (including all the updates from Microsoft and Lenovo).

  Thank you.

• VMware Vsphere HA (problem of storage in common) and problem of band network bandwidth

  Hi all

  I am setting up VMware VSphere HA on ESXI 6.0

  I have 5 hosts running, each host has 2 management networks main network 1 vMotion and 1 network card for balancing with the management network. (each NIC 1Gbit uplink)

  I also attached to each card a FC (Fiber Channel) connected to HP 3PAR storage.

  each host have 1 TB or 2 TB Fiber Channel-attached storage.

  When I was setting up the AP he stated that he did not have any shared how storage can I allow other hosts to see each store data as a shared storage. NB: when I go vsphere client to web I see all the storage of each host.

  I also want to allow FT on a virtual machine, I have also a problem of bandwidth insuffisent or something. .

  also, I enabled fault tolerance on each NIC attached to the host.

  also another question: should I export volumes (LUNS) to all hosts in the AP? (in fact I exported each volume to each host separately) for example:

  Volume 1: HP3PAR_ESX1 exported to HOST ESX1

  Volume 2: HP3PAR_ESX2 exported to the ESX2 HOST

  Volume 3: HP3PAR_ESX3 exported to ESX3 HOST

  .. .etc

  can you me clear on this issue or guide me to where I can solve these problems please.

  When I try to activate the FT on the VM I the following warning attached

  This message was edited by: coolirc attached image FT problem

  There are memory FT requirements compatible VM is through two virtual, primary and secondary computers. so it will consume the same amount of resources of both ESXi hosts.

  VM with 10 GB of RAM allocation, turn on FT booking VM is now 10 GB RAM, so 10 GB + VMkernel consumption General host running primary VM and same amount of the host that is running with secondary VM. on top of this admission control in support of the failures of host we are going to tolerate so say primary VM host fails, then secondary VM becomes the new primary and triggers a new high school to be created and powered in one of the other host survivor in your HA cluster but which will be successful only when you have sufficient resources available to satisfy a reservation.

  your source host has 16 GB of RAM and one of the destination host also got 16 GB of RAM, so if you try to activate pi after disabling admission control on your cluster policy, I think that it should allow you to activate FT without errors. [if it still does not work so if possible, turn off all other virtual machines for free resources or to try to reduce their reservation manually if they are running with a reservation and try again.]

  with admission control, the necessary resources would be even higher.

  screenshot of Cluster summary reports that you have 4 guests in it and the memory resources available about 30 GB to 60 GB total memory. But isn't always the right figure, if you go to the monitor-> book resources, is where you will find actual "ready reserve", it's the right amount of reserve memory that you will be able to use across several virtual machines, you run in your cluster.

  I tried 2 vCPU vm FT in vSphere 6, works very well, but never tried with Hardware version 8, in your case, your virtual machine is hardware version 8, although I'm not sure if it is mandatory to have the hardware version 11 VM for FT so ideally it should work, but virtual hardware version if possible vm upgraded to 11.

• VMWare disk space problems

  I just inherited a VMWare system at work.  Initial inspection of the system, I know that it is running vsphere 4 Enterprise Plus.  Every day, I noticed that the space on the system seems to diminish gradually.  The question that I'm running into is that no matter how much I clean data warehouses, I'm not reclaim any disk space.  I have removed a couple of virtual machines and also cleaned up some ISOs from the data store, but I see about the same amount of disk space available.  I would like for this clean before I have more problems. I checked the current VMs aren't thin clients, so I don't know where the space is endangered to...

  The timestamp in the description (11/05/2012), you can see that there is a problem with vRanger connection remove the snapshot after the backup (you can check the files of vRanger connection newspapers to find errors, if you want to), in any case, I am sure that this snapshot is the result of an unexpected error during the backup and must be deleted manually.

• VMware Studio configuration problem

  I use Vmware Studio to build a Windows 2003 SP2 machine. Everything is big. The problem occurs when VMware Studio completes the transfer the transional VM on the VMware Studio machine. Export OVF ends and then I got the following error:

  [error] Interrupted by the user or system (signal Undefined subroutine & cannot call method 'State' to a value not set in line /usr/share/perl/5.8/VMware/VICommon.pm 1878: fault_string called at /opt/vmware/lib/build/VADK/ProvInterface/Vim.pm line 1527 fell)

  If I build the virtual machine in VMware Studio with the transitional retain verified VM work ends. If the transient virtual machine does not check the work fails.

  I think that this problem is related to one of the VADK timeout attributes that are documented in the VMware Studio Administrator's Guide.

  the line Vim.pm 1527 - deals with transitional VM during removal of the host and reciving a 'State' of success. If the State successfully is not getting the job is aborted.

  Can anyone help?

  Without looking at the curl library code that uses the ovftool group, I can't really tell you. I saw this bug and thought of you and thought maybe it might be the cause. My guess is that anything which would need to be escaped to the URL could cause trouble.

  Don't forget to mark it as answered, if indeed it was anwer it. Thank you.

• VMWare HA issues / problems of DNS ESX3.5.0U4

  Hi guys,.

  I have the following problems with my VMWare farm.

  VMWare HA:

  I have setup a HA Cluster where I wanted to add two hosts (HP DL585). One installs and configures the HA Agent without any problem. Else we come up with an error message (not enough resources...).  My quality of configured failover is 1 with VC saying I got 0 for the moment. Reservations are not made on only VMs. Strict admission control is turned off.

  There are currently only a single machine virtual on this cluster, which is a virtualized VC, so I didn't get the chance to disable and configure HA

  I read that it was a problem some time earlier with U2, but I guess this should be fixed now...

  Another point is that I have problems with DNS. I have two connections in service at the present time console, one in my backend for iSCSI Connections with IP VMKernel 10.0.0.1/8 and one for management with 172.16.1.180/24 for the frontend. In my opinion the iSCSI SC didn't need to have a connection to the gateway (172.16.1.1) because it is only for an iSCSI SAN in the backend and will be forever. When I try to ping my DNS servers of the console ESX (172.16.1.180) he's trying this address of 10.0.0.1 ping... Do I have to fill my separate LANs to get a connection to iSCSI SC to the bridge or what? Sounds a bit insecure...

  Thanks for advice or comment on that.

  See you soon,.

  Timo

  In this simple case use files static hosts on ESXs and VC with the only front-end SC.

• VMWARE Newbie - installation problems with the guest operating system

  I heard a lot about the use of VMWARE for a long time so I downloaded and then installed ESXI 3.5 on a test area.  I installed the client and have been able to create a new virtual machine.  However, I run into some difficulty with installing a guest operating system.  All the pdf that I could find have suggested that simply by putting a CD in the server's drive and then turn on the virtual machine would start the my guest operating system installation process.  Unfortunately, my VM doesn't seem to see my CDRom and tent drive a start-up network, followed by a brief wait for the message 'Operating system not found' timeout.

  Can someone please help me find a way to create a new guest OS on my VM so that I can.

  1. understand the process

  2 start testing.

  Thank you in advance.

  If you have installed of course the VI Client to create the VM, and you insert the CD into the ESXi host? You can go to change settings on the virtual machine, click the CD/DVD and select the option use the host device. Also ensure the connection to turn on is checked.  When you turn on the virtual machine, it should see the CD that you inserted in your ESXi host. Once you get the operating system to load, you can configure to allow remote desktop connections and access the VM as a traditional physical machine, rather than relying on the console of the VI Client view.
