  That's kinda our old friend is back.

  Two checklists

  1. check the version of the VM VGA driver, if that's the case, you must update the WDDM driver display driver.

  2. make sure that you use HW 7 and more.

• Start the virtual machine console only

  I recently installed ESXi on a host and created several virtual machines. I have access to these machines with vSphere Client consoles.

  My question is: is it possible to run just the consoles of VMS without execution or the display of all the options for enforcement of a vSphere Client?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello.

  Discover the vmClient 4.0.

  Good luck!

• Display notifications to the host in the virtual machine

  Hello

  I use an Instant Messenger (Pidgin) client on my machine (Windows) host.  But I spend a lot of time in VMWare workstation.  I would like to be able to know when someone is trying to contact me through the instant messaging client.  Now, I continue to have switch between the host and the virtual machine to check if anyone has happened to contact me.

  While I could install the instant messaging client in the virtual machine, then I have the opposite problem - when in the host machine, I wouldn't see someone trying to contact me on the client that is running in the virtual machine.  E-mail clients instant most (if not all) you do not have the client running actively against the same account on different machines (in my case, the host and the virtual machine).

  I tried to use a parameter "always on top" for window my client of instant messaging on my machine host, but that gets ignored when I go to the virtual machine.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware communities forum.

  The simplest solution to your problem is more likely to use the unit.

  From the top of my head, under the view menu, select unit instead of windowed or full-screen.

  This allows you to use applications in your host application as if they are part of your host operating system.

  Of course the applications are still part of your guest VM, but they appear as normal applications instead of in a new complete desktop environment.

  You must have VMware Tools installed in the comments to use it.

  Hope this helps,

• You cannot use vSphere client to change the settings of the virtual machine v10 or more

  Hello

  I just downloaded new version of Kali Linux to do some tests with my free version of ESXi update 5.5 2, the problem is that I can't change the settings of the virtual machine in vSphere Client.

  It's so good because of the independence of Web OS Client vSphere but what about the free version? Everyone knows you need a vCenter running successfully and a license for the vSphere Web Client.

  There is no free version of VMWare vCenter.

  Nice day.

• Web client to modify the virtual machine settings

  We have several VMware environments that I help manage. So that we can train the junior members on the use of VMware, we have a few stand-alone hosts running v5.5u1.

  One of my colleagues copied a VM built with 10 Workstation to this host and received an error message on the VMDK becoming invalid. They tried to solve the problem by getting the host to upgrade the virtual machine. The virtual machine appears now as being "Version VM: vmx-10.

  The network for this virtual computer is set on connects don't not to put under tension, so we have no network on this virtual machine. If we right-click the virtual machine in vSphere Client and choose change settings, we receive this message:

  "You cannot use vSphere Client to change the settings of the virtual version 10 or higher machines.

  
  

  Use the vSphere Client Web to change the settings for this virtual machine".

  I know that the Web Client for stand-alone hosts was not available on 5.1 and I guess that's the same thing with 5.5. Is this correct? My attempts to try to load a page like this fails.

  Y at - there a command I can use 'downgrade' the version of virtual machine to any where I can change the settings with vSphere Client?

  It's not much you can do that and then get stuck without being able to change the settings for the virtual machine. Surely, they could detect if the host is connected to a vCenter and only enable this option if it is... or warn before you perform the upgrade!

  Thank you

  Neil

  You can simply edit the vmx file and edit vmx - 10-vmx - 9.

• How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

  Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

  Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

  Kind regards

  Cristian Fernández

  It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.

• ESXi 4.0 on Dell 1850 this host doesn't support VT you have configured the virtual machine to use an operating system 64-bit client.

  Hello

  , I have in 3 data centers Dell 1850, identical hardware configurations.  I installed Esxi 4.0 to the ISO from site Web de VMware dell custom help. He is successfully installed on all servers, without error at all. I've updated them all to the last generation, using VMware vSphere Client. I have a problem with one of the server when I want to use 64-bit machines, he realizes: this host does not support VT you have configured the virtual machine to use an operating system 64-bit client.  However, this host is not able to run 64-bit virtual machines or virtual computer has 64-bit support disabled. For more information, see http://www.vmware.com/info?id=152. I don't understand why I got this, servers are identical, versions of BIOS, firmware, and all updates are the same. There is also a warning in the configuration tab, on the State of health link.

  Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestion.

  Yes according to the description of CPU, it seems that they do not support intel VT:

• Access to the consoles to the virtual machines

  Good Morning-

  In our Organization, our service delivery team creates servers and then given "owners of applications.  An obstacle we just met in the deployment of VI3.5 being a service company providing access console on a Windows Server to the owners of the app.  They were accustomed to the presence of a DRAC\HP ILO address which they could benefit when a server has startup problems, etc., which required interfacing with the console.

  Within the world of VMware, is it possible to provide access to an owner of the application server console without providing the VI client?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  To generate the URL you will need to log into the VC via the web client.  Use http://nameofyourvirtualcenter

  You may need to double-click the virtual machine when you connect, according to.  At this point, it should display the VM statistics and "generates a URL for the remote console" in the right pane.

• We have configured replication vsphere in our environment and when replication is triggered according to the OFR start us below the questions on the virtual machines that are configured for replication

  Question: We have configured replication vsphere in our environment and when replication is triggered according to the OFR start us below the questions on the virtual machines that are configured for replication.

  Version for esxi: Patch 5.1 level 7

  Virtual center of version 5.1

  Source of storage - IBM v7000

  Destination storage - Hitachi

  
  Questions:
  Events of breach RPO
  Consolidation for the VM disk failure
  Delta abandoned events
  Time change events
  NTFS error and warning (event ID: 137, 57)
  RDP disconnect and ping does matter
  Standby error
  Volsnap error
  Stop the server and offline issue
  Install vmtools emits automatically

  well, in this case, we need to disable the standby of the end of the replication.

  So that everything in triggering replication does not trigger the snapshot of the suspension.

  Then test the if you get these errors.

• The virtual machine failover and restart with vSphere HA time

  Hello

  What factors would affect the time required for vSphere HA to computers failover virtual to a host failed to another active host in the cluster? It would be important how much space drive by using virtual machine is or how big it is? Or who should not matter?

  Thank you

  It should not matter. HA initiates the failover and the powers on the virtual machine regardless of size. Note, however, that there could be a delay in time OS/App.

  Another parameter that can affect the failover time is the number of virtual machines being switched at some point. If you have more healthy hosts in the cluster, then VM failovers happen simultaneously reduce the failover time.

• Database SQL vCenter that is running on the virtual machine within vsphere

  Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you are running your database remote vcenter on a virtual machine inside your vsphere environment? We always ran the vcenter db on a physical remote outside the vsphere group box, but I am considering the upgrade to sql 2008 R2 and I already have a virtual sql server computer running within vsphere.

  Pro/drawbacks to be aware of the db running on a virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance

  Kevin

  We rotated our SQL database in a VM for a while now.

  Some advantages are for example the wide use of HA and the ability to easily extend if necessary resources. In addition, if you use backup as Veeam software a restore takes only a few minutes from a physical configuration.

  There are a few things when you have to keep in mind:

  -Make sure that your SQL VM database begins before your vCenter (the service does not start if it cannot reach the database), even if it can be fixed manually it might be something you want to keep in mind

  -If you use the distributed switches power risk since data is stored in the database, of course there are solutions for this (keep the traffic on a standard switch management)

  -If you use HA make sure you modify the priority of restarting HA for the virtual machine (you don't want a reboot suddenly)

• Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

  Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

  Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

  PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

  At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

  The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.
