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

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

  • With the help of gsoap/C++ web SDK problem reconfiguring the Virtual Machine

    Hi all, I m using gsoap/C++ with web service sdk to monitor virtual machines.

    I m able to enumerate the current list of virtual machines, total number of vm. Now I m trying to reconfigure the virtual machine. My Code snippet is as below.

    The virtual machine is running and I m trying to change the ram, I did it using java api and it doesn't butfor c ++ it is in error.

    ns1__VirualMachineConfigSpec vmSpec;

    ival long 64;

    vmSpec - & gt; memoryMB = & ival;

    ns1__ReconfigVMRequestType reconfigVMRequestType;

    reconfigVMRequestType.spc = & vmSpec;

    reconfigVMRequestType._USCOREthis = vmObject - & gt; obj; managed object - virtual machine

    NS1_ReconfigVM_USCORETaskResponse reconfigVMResponse;

    ns1__ManagedObjectReference * morResult = 0;

    If (vim - & gt; __ns1__ReconfigVM_USCORETask (reconfigVMRequestType, & reconfigVMResponse) == SOAP_OK) {}

    morResult = reconfigVMResponse.returnval;

    } else cost & lt; & lt; "Unable to machine virtual reconfig." & lt; & lt; ENDL;

    Now in vSphere Client it show me error like.

  • LPT1 in the hardware Manager, but not in the virtual machine settings. Parallel port software unable to find LPT. Windows 7, 64-bit and XP virtual

    Hallo,

    the forum is full of questions similar to mine and everything seems complete without useful answers some time early last year. I would like to give a try today to see if I get a solution.

    Have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit and installed XP mode to be able to use the chip programming hardware (GALEP-III), which is connected via the Parallel Port. Downloaded XP mode later than yesterday (24.02.2011) Microsoft.

    In the XP box, the LPT1 port appears in the hardware Manager. But it does not appear in the settings for the XP mode. The Galep software starts just fine, but can't find the PARALLEL port.

    As written above, there are many people who have the same problem and seem to have gotten no solution. One piece of advice I found was to modify the VMC

    LPT1 (378 h-37Fh)

    1

    The above did not work. I think it was for a different version of XP-mode.

    Then there was advice on LPT need 378 h-37Fh. It's fine with my pc.

    Then, there was a Council to stop the 'Print Spool' Service on the host pc. I tried in vain.

    So, if there is a solution to my problem, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

    (Note: I'm not interested to connect a printer.) I have an IC programming material that can connect only through a parallel port. It also comes with a security dongle. GALEP III).

    Good bye.

  • Mount an .iso that is stored IN the virtual machine.

    Briefing Note: deploy us thin client on several campuses. Create us the model, deploy in each site, and then rebuild each pool. We now need to mount an image file .iso for one of the required programs. The .iso image file cannot be mounted with the software of in the virtual environment, because it uses a software of PortectDISC. We have the right number of drives, but customers have no disk drives.

    Problem: Since deploying the model, we must include the file .iso with her image. Normally, you would ride a .iso manually. However, load the file on each remote server .iso image and enter in each of hundreds of machines virtual one at a time to set the .iso way are not possible. Mount the .iso image file is our only option. Is there a way to store the .iso image file in the hard disk of the virtual machine and the virtual machine settings to rise from this point .iso? Or is it possible to include the image .iso with the model file when we deploy it is with each virtual machine and the path in the settings is already pointing to it?

    We tried to put the file .iso image on a store of data on one of our ESX servers, and then modified the model gold on this machine to point to the .iso image file. We reconstructed the pool, and the image .iso file mounted correctly. The problem with that is that we have 20 + machines trying to access the same file at the same time. Let the first few machines work, but the rest said it had disc read errors. So, we want to each machine to have its own .iso.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I have to add a warning that I use not models, but I don't think it is very relevant to my answer.

    @wila: well, I had thought about it, but when deploy us the image, it will automatically change the path to the file? For example, if we note the virtual drive to mount the .iso file to "\vm_template\cd.iso", then deploy, each of the virtual machines will not have this same path in their settings? Then they will all point to '\vm_template\cd.iso' instead of their own institution ' "\vm_##\cd.iso? '" If so, this would require we go each of hundreds of machines and set up manually every time that we deploy a model.

    If you do not add a path, then the iso that the virtual machine will try to open will be local to the virtual machine. You can simply do this by copying the vm to the path of your virtual machine, for example "[storage1] \vm_template" and affecting the CD this specific path.

    As is the same way, you can wait for the vSphere client is smart enough, it does not remove the path for drives in such a case, but not for CD...

    To use the vSphere Client to create the bases so far

    What I just did, go in the vmx file, deleted information path of superfluous and only left the name of the iso file, and all the true startConnected, not the virtual machine to make sure that my edit is OK, again registered the VM in the vSphere client, then started my VM and mounted the cdrom without any problem whatsoever.

    So - as expected - it works fine the iso file is local to the virtual machine and the local path comes first unless you assign specifically it different in the vmx file.

  • SCSI driver is missing in the virtual machine. Driver is missing in the provided website. Instructions on how to install the driver (once you find) are missing.

    I get the text following error encrypted every time that I boot Windows XP in VMWare Fusion, since I've upgraded to version 4.02 a few months ago.  So I upgraded to version 5.02 hoping the error would go, but he didn't.

    When I try to start it, it says "he has at least a virtual SCSI device installed on this virtual Windows XP computer.

    Windows XP does not include the drivers for the card SCSI BusLogic VMware Fusion uses virtual SCSI devices.
    To use these virtual SCSI devices, install the VMware driver in the virtual machine. "Download the driver of"http://vmware.com/info?id=43"."
    Once I have to dismiss the message, everything seems to work properly.  How can I make this message disappear?

    I tried to go to the useless link that is provided (http://vmware.com/info?id=43), but it takes me just for a general download for all VMWare products page.  Then I tried searching for "SCSI" but it does not have the driver, I'm supposedly dedicated research

    After doing a bit of searching around, I finally found a driver called "vmscsi - 1.2.0.4.flp ', I connect to my virtual floppy drive.  Once I did, my virtual machine wouldn't boot (I get the error "NTDLR is missing.)  I then unplugged the virtual floppy drive, and now my virtual machine starts again.  I then re-connected the drive floppy and discovered the following content:
    Disk.Tag
    Txtsetup.OEM
    vmscsi.cat
    vmscsi.inf
    smscsi.sys
    OK... Now what?  No installer?  What the hell am I supposed to do with it?  I tried a double click on all of these files and have no significant results.  When the pilot is supposed to go?  No instructions? -What VMware calls "support"?

    I can't do anything else until I get comments. Can anyone recommend a way to solve this problem?

    I thought I knew what I was doing, but apparently not...

    I agree

    Two a problem with the new drive.

    1. You get the error message comes from the basic disk with a different size than the disks of the snapshot.
    2. With a size of 256 GB, you will not be able to create snapshots of the disk (on ESXi prior to 5.0 with a block size of 1 MB)

    What you can try to do is to edit the file PJAEast - DL01_1.vmdk :

    • 536870912 VMFS 'PJAEast-DL01_1 - flat hard' RW--> RW 70943040 VMFS 'PJAEast-DL01_1 - flat hard. "
    • DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = "33418'-> ddb.geometry.cylinders = '4416.

    After that, I would recommend to clone the virtual disk to a new one, replace the virtual disk in the virtual machine settings and resize it to a maximum of 254GB (see "calculates the time system required by the snapshot files" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384)

  • failure of the virtual machine to see the ISO image

    Hello

    Beginners issue with 60 day trial of ESX 3.5, using the client to create the virtual machine and after trying the Client device and peripheral host against CD\DVD with connect to power option selected.  What power on Virt machine it starts directly in the DHCP search and seem not to be able to press F2 to enter the BIOS to change the boot order.  Am I missing something obvious? but hoped he could detect my ISO image of the operating system Windows Server on my DVD

    Thank you

  • Unable to connect to the virtual machine after they are created

    I installed VMware view and connected to my server Vcenter. Composer, I installed the server vcenter and View manager recognizes it.

    I created a virtual Windows Vista machine, is joined to the domain and instant, it.

    I then created a persistent office pool and allowed users to access.  I can see the virtual machine created the VCenter

    However, the view Client cannot access the virtual machine (he can see the office pool) bit tells me that the customer is not available.

    Any ideas on what I missed?

    Go to the desktop the pool in view Administrator resources and check the status, it should say "Ready".  If this is not the one usually means that there is something blocking the port 4001 of the agent on the view connection server.  I got this when deploying a pool on a different subnet and there is a network between the areas of the network firewall.  The Vista firewall can sometimes be reset on the deployed virtual check computer so who has not been reactivated and adjust the GPO if necessary.

  • 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.

  • VSphere Client limit "the virtual machine console.

    Hello

    I have done several searches and could not find anything relevant so I thought I'd post the question.

    I have ESXi 4.0 running with the installation of 3 virtual machines. I connect to the ESXi 4.0 via Client.exe vSphere hypervisor in windows.  I have a couple of people using the same account. For this reason, we have noticed that, if one of us is connected to a virtual machine, the other person can open the console of the virtual machine also and mess with what they do.  He warns that many people are watching the same virtual machine with the bar at the top of the screen indicating there are now 2 sessions of active console.

    My question is: is there a way to limit the client to only allow a connection active console both to a virtual machine?  That way if someone is already logged in / virtual console and a view, no one else can.

    I understand that I can create several vSphere client accounts with restrictions on the permission to have each account only have access to a specific virtual machine, but I would like to avoid that if possible. Everyone should have access to each virtual machine... but not at the same time...

    Perhaps there is a configuration file (or the customer's option) to limit connections of the console to one (I guess that there is a limit somewhere?).  I found there is a "VpxClient.exe.config", but it doesn't look like this kind of information can be changed here?  If this is something that is encoded in the software I will drop it, but I thought I don't know if I asked

    by default, it is set as 25, but that can be changed.  However, it is on a customer by customer basis, so as far as I know, there is no comprehensive way to do this.

  • 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:

  • change the settings of the virtual machine through configuration files?

    Hello

    Is it possible to change the settings of a virtual computer by directly modifying the configuration on the esxi host files?

    And no one knows where these files are stored? Searched for them, but could not find at all (yet)

    Say use winscp to change the config file that reflects the virtual machine?

    Thank you

    Delete the original virtual machine. Right click on the VM 'delete inventory '. Open the data store and locate the vmx file. Right click and "add to the inventory.

    Hi all

    Happy to be part of the VMware community , announcing my first question to you all. After creation of the Virtual Machine in an Esxi host, when I try to picture mount the ISO for the guest operating system, option browse is not highlighted, why is this so, and is not for the administrator or root user, this problem happens for the normal user, happens because of all the rules of host-level? If its happening because of the rule in ESXi settings, please guide me how to change it?

  • Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

    Hello.

    I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

    I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the community,

    Booking of resources being completely transparent for the customer, i.e. a host function, there is no need to turn off the virtual machines. Basically all settings in are available to be changed in the editable GUI generally without interruption of service comments.

  • Changing the settings of Cluster SWAP without the virtual machine downtime

    Hi all

    My question refers to the vSphere 5.0 version.

    I need to change the settings of my VMware Cluster swap file.

    It is set to "store the swap file in the data specified by the host store.

    I want to change it to "store the file in the same directory as the virtual machine.

    Can I do this without the VM downtime?

    Kind regards

    Martin

    You can change the setting in the cluster without affecting your running virtual machines, but virtual machines will not use this new setting until they have been rolled power.
