• Problem with the mouse and the network after the upgrade VMware Tools and hardware to virtual machine

  Hello world...

  I just upgrade my ESX 3.5 servers to vSphere 4.1. All this work is very well with the upgrade right now.

  After that, I tried to mise a niveau of VMware Tools and hardware of VM for my virtual machine and the problems started.

  I tried with two different VM (the two Windows 2003) and the problem appears for the two VM.

  I don't want to test another VM of the different operating system now, I'm afraid to go too far with update of Pentecost the problem I have now.

  I tried two VM to be sure that the problem is not only on a virtual machine.

  First of all, the mouse.

  My mouse has jerky movement. The button works, but sometimes I have to click several times to select what I want.

  I tried to uninstall the mouse in Device Manager and reinstall, but not really Pentecost improvement which (buttons works better, but... not so sure).

  Second problem.

  After you restart the server after VMmware tools and hardware virtual machine, the network link not working anymore.

  When I go to my network card configuration, IP settings are reset in DHCP mode.

  If I go again all my IP settings, Windows says:

  The IP address is hidden from the network and Dial-up connections

  folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a riser

  It does not work. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and

  they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result

  in the incorrect system configuration. You want to enter a different IP address

  address of this adapter in the list of IP addresses for this card in the list

  Advanced IP address in the dialog box

  If I answer Yes to this, I have to enter a new IP address, and of course, this is not what I want to do.

  If I don't answer, the network working again.

  I think it is a strange message but the work of the vSphere maybe network now.

  Anyone have any idea why my work network and mouse as this upgrade after.

  All other VM that is not upgraded so far works great.

  Thanks in advance...

  (1) make sure that your hardware acceleration is safe enough. I got the upgrade down my hardware acceleration several times already.

  (2) sounds like the new drivers for your NIC cards took over and VMware is basically a new card NETWORK for you. Follow these steps to disable it:

  (a) open a command prompt

  (b) type (without quotes): 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1' and press ENTER.

  (c) type (without the quotes): "start devmgmt.msc"

• Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

  Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

  I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

  If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

  Concerning

  Marius

  With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

• Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

  I get this error message:

  VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

  I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

  My OS:
  Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

  Thanks in advance

  On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)

• Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

  Thank you very much

  Tim Auluck

  I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

  Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

• Virtual machines not passing is not by at the junction of area after customization

  Hi, we are established in a lab environment.

  Creating virtual machines on XP (SP3), based on templates (WITHOUT link clones)-provision virtual machine, cross 'customization' - but only some of them appear to be joined to the domain after that customization is complete!

  Any thoughts?

  Mark Lomas

  The first thing that comes to mind is that you deploy all your model since the same VM and your model of XP have been set to DHCP? If you have different models, see label of network NIC, you might have a few pointing to a network where DHCP is not available, and so the virtual machine, you make the deployment has not any network connectivity or a wrong IP address that cannot resolve to your domain controller or the VLAN different.

• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  $vm = get - VM | Select Name, Notes

  $vm | Export-csv notes.csv

  but cannot find a way to import...

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false
  }
  

• With instant full VM LUN and now the virtual machine will not start or register

  Hello

  I have a case here, where we have a virtual machine that quickly filled the logic unit number and the snapshot is currently 110 GB. It is now available on the new LUN space, but the VM does not start and he was also addressed as 'unknown' in the viclient. I tried to cancel the registration and check-in again, but he refuses to register. It seems that the snapshot is damaged.

  When you try to save it, I get the following in hostd.log:

  Any help is appreciated.

  The problem (according to the newspaper) is AXAPTA_1-000001 - delta.vmdk no AXAPTA_1-000002 - delta.vmdk (the error on the second snapshot is probably because of the broken parent snapshot).

  The descriptors are ok, which means that the VMDK itself is broken.

  If you do not have a backup, you can try the following:

  -Copy the files in another data store

  -change the second snapshot descriptor to point to the basedisk as the parent

  -Try and mount the drive

  -If you're lucky, you should be able to recover at least some data of

  -If the disklib is complaining again then the two snapshots are broken - which is unlikely

  Depending on how old the second snapshot (the older one is better it is) the method above will not help.

• Script in VMWare Server to stop, save and reboot the virtual machine

• Monitoring and network of virtual machine failure alert

  I'm trying to set up an email alert when one of our VMS lose network connectivity. I'll try the following settings, but I don't receive any alerts when I kill the network connection.

  • Alarm type: Virtual Machine
    • Monitor for specific events occurring on this suybject...
  • Trigger: VM No. network access
  • Status: alert

  I tried the same settings with a different event (for example on and power off the power) and I get an alert message each time. But with network access I get nothing. For the test, I have reset the INVESTIGATION period (so there is no network activity), I disabled the NETWORK card and I tried to disable the NETWORK adapter in the settings of VMware.

  Nothing alert? Essentially, I jut want an email when any of my virtual machines happen to lose access to the Internet for a reason any.

  Thanks for any help.

  Another note: I also tried to use different drivers Ethernet, with no luck.

  Decided to use only ONE Veeam.  Their free version offers sufficient data and monitoring.  Seems that monitoring network is a deficit of VMware.

• vCenter storage iSCSI 5.5 and shared between virtual machines

  I have just two 2012 Win computers virtual server in the cluster.  I've prested my iSCSI LUNS and the ESX host can see them and I might add in order to become a data store.

  My VMs Win2012 need to share the storage for a cluster SQL database.  I have never done this and everything I tried at this point has failed.  I tried to create the ROW, but that only worked to connect it to a player on one of the virtual machines.

  I'm sure this is possible, but I'm not even sure where to look.  Is it really that RDM is for or is there another way?  Looks like I have would be sufficient to use the initator iSCSI in Windows to connect to my SAN but that would probably slow.

  Any help would be great!

  Yes it can be done - have you seen http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-55-setup-mscs.pdf

• What is the difference between cloning and Coverting a Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I'm starting to learn more about vmware. My organization is already a VMware/Vsphere infrastructure, I am trying to familiarize myself with various aspects of VMware, so I wanted to know what is the difference between a virtual machine cloning and to convert a virtual machine using Vconverter?

  They both end up giving double a VM, or is there a difference between the two?

  Thanks in advance.

  Cloning can be done with the virtual machine or not.  P2V requires the source runs and you must install the converter.

  Hello

  first of all, check the host with a tool like memtest memory. Maybe the RAM is not ok.

  After that, perhaps your problem is this one: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1326842#1326842
