When will be a generated file vmware.log
my system works for 2 years, and there are hundres of records vmware - xxx.log in virtual machine directory. I just want to know when will be generated a new vmware - xxx.log, perhaps starting or restarting the VM is the case, but I remember I don't start/restart this virtual machine so frequently? is there another possibility to trigger the new generated log file? for example, vmotion?

Idleness does nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything.
Hello
Fresh newspapers are created and 'old' when turned
(a) VM is turned on
(b) when the logsize hits a predetermined limit
You can change the newspapers what to keep and what size they will be following the steps in VMware VI3 Hardening Guide.

How to increase the number of files vmware.log?
Hi all
Is it possible to increase the number of files for a given VM vmware.log (host Vmware Server 1.0.4: SLES 10)?
Problem is that one of our virtual machines crashes every now and then and I see that the log of the four files vmware.log, 0.log - vmware, vmware - 1.log and vmware - 2.log each that contains records beginning after the crash when you try to start. I have therefore no information of what happened before the crash.
Thank you
Ingo
try to add this in the vmx file
log.keepOld = "10".
or what you think suitable - don't know if it works on VMserver1 but I think so

Cannot find the vmware.log file
Dear team,
Customer inform us that they are not access in one of the production virtual machine, I found the same thing in a State of poweredoff. I'm receiving the same and he "works fine now, but in order to know exactly what happened, I browse the directory of the virtual machine." to determine y a VM has been poweredoff, to check the logs in the vmware.log file, but I havn't found vmware.log file, there I m old files vmware.log learn where I m able to see two months of old newspapers. Can u please help me is it possbile due to some reason vmware.log is not created?
concerning
Mr. VMware
Sorry, you're right, this setting is available from the GUI. Yes, make sure that logging is enabled.

Meaning of lines hostCPUID, userCPUID, and guestCPUID in the vmware.log file
I'm trying to get a solid knowledge about the exact meaning of the hostCPUID, userCPUID and guestCPUID entries in the vmware.log file.
I'm well versed in masking of CPU and I know how to change masks with cpuid. < number >. < enter > = 'XXXXXXX '.
I guess the 'host' in hostCPUID is the bits real raw CPUID reported to ESXi by the host CPU.
What is less clear, exactly what are the values 'guest' and 'user '. Based on the name, guestCPUID looks like the bits of functionality exposed to the virtual machine. However, I don't see how the guestCPUID is established, in view of the hostCPUID and my own cpuid. < num >. < Register > masking. Maybe there is some other implicit mask takes into account as well?
And finally "userCPUID"is completely baffling to me." Maybe something to do with the CPUID features in a mode not ring-0?
Any clarification would be helpful. Many hours of research on Google are not getting obvious answers.
Thank you
Matt

You are basically correct. GuestCPUID represents the bits of functionality exposed to the virtual machine. In addition to your mask, there are masks applied depending on the features supported by the virtual hardware.
UserCPUID, this is what will be visible to code ringtone-3 comments running in native mode if you use the binary translation. With binary translation, usually only ring-0 code (or IOPL-3) is subject to the binary translation. Most ring-3 of the code is running in native mode (in the mode that we call "direct execution.") Before the introduction of CPUID failing, it was impossible to intercept comments the CPUID instruction execution when the guest was performed in direct execution. Some processors support a limited ability to derogate some CPUID leaves (on a basis of registry by registry) even without intercept the CPUID instruction. Therefore, userCPUID is based on hostCPUID, but records that can be replaced have values of guestCPUID.
These fields are rewritten in every market, so there is little interest to change them manually.

Mac Mail will not create a file to import when importing .mbox files
I've recently moved from an old Mac Pro (2008) a new (end of 2013). Both are running El Capitan (OSX 10.11.2) and the latest version of the mail (9.2). My old machine was old enough, so I skipped using Migration Assistant and performed a clean installation.
I'm a graphic designer and, in the past, I always saved my emails into folders for each customer. When I finished work, I export it as a .mbox and check it in case I need to reference it later. If I need it later, I use "file > import mailboxes," select "import data since: Apple Mail," find the archived .mbox file and select it. " Mail lets know me that he has created a 'Import' folder, and there are my files.
When I migrated to my new Mac Pro, I exported all my open work files, copied to a drive can be removed and added to the new machine. When I use the method "file > Import Mailboxes" I have just detailed, the import dialog box reads: "You can find boxes imported into the folder named 'Import' in the list of mailboxes mailbox." However, no 'Import' folder is created.
I tried to leave Mail and reopening so to restart my Mac. I also tried to use "import data from: files in mbox.» In this case, I get a message that says: "error. No valid mbox file was found. »
Here's the kicker: I created a new folder of email on my new Mac Pro, email at random from being dumped and exported it. When I re-imported, Mail created a new 'Import' folder, just as it is supposed to. It seems that the problem only affects files that I brought over my old camera.
Any ideas I can try? I can still access my old Mac Pro if necessary.

Copy the files from ESXi vmware.log
All,
Need a bit of help here. We were asked to keep the vmware*.log files in the folder of each VM. Using the viToolkitExtensions, I can get the files in each directory, but I can't get copied off in my server Windows so that they can be saved. It has been suggested that I use TkeDatastoreFile copy, but I ran into a wall, make it work. Here's what I have so far, once connected to the VC.
$x = get-VM VMNAME | Get - views | % {$_.config.files.vmpathname}
$y = $x Extract-TkeDatastorePathElements
$z = get-datastore $y.datastore | Get-tkedatastorefile | where {$_ .path - like "vmwareJournal"}
I can now browse each journal found in the folder, but I can't get copy-tkeDatastoreFile work to copy each file to a destination on the Server Windows where the script will run, for example D:\Data\logs. Any ideas on how I finish that?
Gary
Here's a transcript of a session that has worked for me. I added - noSize - noType and - noModification to Get TkeDatastoreFile because it speeds up things a bit.

Hello, I have a problem with Mozilla Firefox 14 and now also Firefox 15. When I click on .html files on my desktop, firefox will open a new window twice. Where is the problem? Thank you
That may be a problem with the DDE.
Try to undo and redo Firefox as default browser.
Make a different browser like IE browser by default and then let Firefox do it again.

Original title: recovery Partition
Stays of complete recovery partition may not free up any space. I get an error message that my memory is low, but when I go to delete files from my recovery disc it will not allow me too. There are 6 total folders on my drive:
Dell, Program files users tools and windows sources.
The Windows folder and the program are the most important concerts of 6-7 piece. But when I try to delete them or move only to the recycling it is bin-error right and says Destination folder access denied and I need permission for this action... Any idea would be deeply appreciated. Thank you
I apolgize if I look tense. That's the way I read your phrase... > if I try yo run an app download anything I get this error...
I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer. Ask to speak to a technician and explain to that person of the situation.
I'm afraid that I have no idea why your recovery partition gives you message "not enough memory" If you have never touched him.
Maybe you'd wait for people with better computer skills to help you.
Thank you.

When I open a PDF file, I get the following message "invalid plugin detected Adobe Acrobat reader DC will leave" I reinstalled Adobe DC but still the same problem, it happens with all PDFs. Any advice much appreciated.
Hi Stephen39,
Do you have any 3rd party plugin installed for Adobe Reader? If not, close all instances of Adobe Reader running and delete the entire folder to: C:\program Adobe [version] \Reader\plug_ins.
Now go to control panel > programs and features. Locate the entry for Adobe Reader X and choose to repair the installation.
If you do not have a 3rd party plugin installed, try to uninstall them and see if the problem is related to the same. If it works, let me know what plugins have been the origin of the problem so that I can have a look.
If all goes well, this should fix things.
Thank you
