  Hi all

  Once the converter VMware-converter-en - 5.5.1 - 1682692 does not work, with a touch of friend uninstall the 5.5 version of Converter Standalone Client, look for the VMware converter version - 4.0.0 - 146302 and install this version to the other machine. No not that I had to be Converter, but the windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

  After this race, the Standalone Client 4.4 Converter and everything work fine.

  Now I have the P2V converted and good machine, as was the real operation!

  I thank all of you.

• How to enable the Windows 2008 R2 guest operating systems on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition host

  Sorry, I realize it is there much written and blogged about activation and license but I still cannot grasp exactly what to do, please can you help me.

  I have a host running windows 2008 R2, datacenter edition.  The 2008 datacenter edition license allows any number of windows OS to run on this host (will run for most 2008R3 standard edition) so I guess (I hope correctly) that I don't need to buy more licenses.

  So my question is, when these comments of the virtual machines are created, how can I activate them?  What product key should be used?   I have a product key for data center edition, but it does not work "the product key you entered will not work with this edition of windows server 2008 R2.

  Thank you if you can let me know if there is a way (or ways) for the operating systems Windows Server activated running on datacenter edition.

  Best regards

• Windows 2008 R2 as operating system supported for vCenter Server?

  Hi you all, experts

  In http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.PDF it says that Windows 2008 R2 is supported as the operating system on the server vCenter.

  In http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1022137 R2 is not mentioned.

  Then...

  Is R2 platform support?

  I read the correct documentation that SQL 2008 Express is NOT supported as vCenter database?

  Are questions about wheter it works - it is questions about knowledge if it is supported.

  Concerning

  André

  Hello.

  In http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf , it says that Windows 2008 R2 is supported as the operating system on the server vCenter Server.

  R2 is not mentioned in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022137 .

  Then...

  Is R2 platform support?

  What is listed in the compatibility matrix is correct, then Yes.

  I read the correct documentation that SQL 2008 Express is NOT supported as vCenter database?

  Yes.  Use you it as a database, or just use the SQL SERVER 2005 Express that comes with vCenter?

  Good luck!

• Can't access file system host (MAC) shared in VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client when wanting to create a VMware image (Windows 7 in Parallels virtual machine running on a MAC) for the option of machine Powered On.

  File HOST (Mac) system is currently shared in the Parallels virtual machine and is accessible through Windows Explorer and works correctly in the Virtual Machine environment, however, after installing vCenter Converter application on the Windows virtual machine these shared folders are not accessible from the conversion tool in the selection of the target destination of the file VMware (s). I can't select an existing folder on drive "C:" to write the image so that there is not enough space available for the VMware image and it must be written in a different file system, while the image is being created.

  Anyone know a way around it to show the target to write the image on the host (MAC OS) file system or is it a bug?

  Thanks for the reply.  It seems that the maps are not displayed if they were created as actions by the hosts.  When I created a mapping directly from Windows, then this mapping appeared and the conversion worked fine.

• Windows 2008 R2 VM do not correctly restart after manual failover

  I'm having a problem where my W2K8 R2 VMs are not stop / correct commissioning after a failover.

  I have 2 servers in my group (2 x HP DL380 G7) running on ESXi 5.0.

  The administration server is an HP DL180 G6 running VCenter 5.0.

  I have two VMotion & configured HA.

  All virtual machines are linking my drive (HP P2000) FC array and my two ESXs have access to LUNS configured on my disk array.

  If we test failover HA...

  What we do is, we have x amount of virtual machines running on ESX1 and an amount x of virtual machines running on ESX2.

  Manually power on ESX2 shut down us to see if the virtual machines running on ESX2 migrate correctly ESX1.

  The VMs TO migrate ESX1 after disabling ESX2.

  But when they are migrated and restarted on ESX1, which VMs will tell you something on the lines of: "Windows has not shutdown correctly. You want to start in safe mode / normal mode / prompt etc. »

  Someone has an idea what might be causing this? I never had this before.

  I checked with one of my colleagues, and he has not seen it before either.

  All virtual machines in question have the VMWare tools installed on them.

  And for the monitoring of the virtual machine settings are for the 'VM' and 'Application Monitoring'.

  Thanks in advance...

  That is right.  An HA event will restart a virtual machine.  He cannot stop him from the accident.  Windows will crash.  The NTFS journal will usually protect file system issues, as it does with physical windows.  HA gives you just the protection against material defects, provides high availability, but not of fault tolerant, in itself.

  VMware FT will run a vm on two different hosts at the same time to ensure protection against this, but you are limited by vCPU.

• Windows 2008 R2 upgrade still shows as "experimental" after U1

  Updated my ESX4i build U1 208167 - and two problems arose.

  1. upgrade of the W2008R2 of the computer virtual with a VM tools reference upgrade fails - gives msg saying unknown OS or operating system not supported.

  2. create a Windows 2008r2 WHAT VM always shows the OS as "experimental" - which, after U1, it is full supported. I suspect that this is just a "bug" or some missed dev one update on the drop-down list of coding.

  Anyone else seeing these 2 questions?

  You have to update the client and the server vCenter Server also?

  In my case, a new virtual machine with Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is written without the expertimental chain.

  I have not tested yet baseline upgrade.

• Windows 7 password problem: does not recognize password after waking from sleep

  So I have recently buy a netbook with Windows 7 operating system. I create the administrator account and password protect. All right, install software, copy documents, etc. in the "My Documents" folder and happily use the machine for a few days with no problems. Then work off the battery voltage, put the PC in sleep for some time. When I try and log back in after the awakening of the PC, it does not recognize the password. Try with cap locks, off and all the rest, but not luck. I must finally remove the battery and restart. Sign in as normal (the password is recognized) and go in the user administrator account to disable the password, but then again, the current password is not recognized and I am not allowed to make changes. However, I can still close and log on by using the current password. Confused. Anyine have any ideas?

  There is no need to remove the battery or pull the taken when force a PC to stop. By pressing the power button for about ten seconds will do the trick.

  Your password problem: you might be dealing with a foreign keyboard problem. Make the password to something that is independent of the keyboard configuration, for example 123456.

  To reset the administrator password, follow these steps:
  1. click on start.
  2. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
  3. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  4. click on "run as Administrator".
  5. type the following commands and press ENTER after each:
  net localgroup administrators
  (This will show you the accounts that have administrative privileges. What is?)
  NET user administrator 123456
  (This will set the password to 123456)

• Driver problem after moving from Vista to Windows XP

  Hello

  Can anyone advise on where to find the drivers?

  I have a laptop Inspiron 640 m.  It has been upgraded to Vista (which I absolutely hated) by Dell, so I took it upon myself to reinstall Windows XP.  Needless to say I now have terrible problems with drivers.

  I get the 'Assistant new hardware detected' for the following drivers;

  -Ethernet controller

  -network controller

  -video controller (vga compatiable)

  -sm bus controller

  I can't what to install on the Dell site.

  I downloaded the something which was means to have drivers for Inspiron 640 m, but it failed, so I thought I'd do a separate download... but I had no joy.

  Anyone got any ideas?

  I tried to update the drivers for my laptop now. How/where/what download?

  GUID me please.

  Hello:

  If you go into your BIOS under the system information window, you should get a model number.

  Or you can use this scan to HP tool to see if you can automatically detect your model number.

• Windows 2008 R2 guest, vMMU enabled or disabled?

  I'm just checking if the MMU is material or not of some guests. The hosts are processors Xeon 7560 (45nm) runnng and Windows 2008 R2 (x 64 of course) guests.

  From what I see of http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-9882 , this means that the fictitious page tables are used rather than the functionality of EFA when it is set to automatic. Is this correct? Is it possible to easily see what is actually used on the VM?

  If you are looking for ways to monitor in the vmware.log for the guest operating system file, you will see what is used.    Check out the thread below for more information

• Windows 2008 R2 PerfMon latency do not match ESXTOP

  Hi all

  I was faced with performance problems for my SharePoint SQL Server. I tried to find the bottleneck, and I was see some latency of less-than-desirable numbers in PerfMon. He is the guest of Windows 2008 R2 x 64 running on ESX 4.0 (build 294855) on vCenter 4.1 (build 258902). I see often numbers physique\Longueur disk s/reading for a medium disk above 10ms but often jumping more than 20 ms and sometimes much higher. 10 to 20 ms isn't bad, I know. HOWEVER, these numbers do not match what I see in ESXTOP and on the back-end storage. I have an IBM XIV, and his monitor disk latency is very close to that reported by the virtual machine in ESXTOP. That tells me that the Cisco MDS is not adding much to the latency. BTW, we are double FCoE (round robin) to Cisco 5010 s, which has so many paths of 4 GB to MDS, which has so many paths to the XIV. But ESXTOP reports usually 1/2 or better Perfmon. If the virtual machine will show, for example, a GAVG/cmd of, say, 3 ms, but PerfMon will show 9 Ms. ESXTOP will display 10 ms and PerfMon will show 20 +. LVAD/KMOY/GAVG metrics could be essentially flat, but they are bouncing up and down in PerfMon.

  Someone has an idea of what might happen? I understand that CPU and memory PerfMon counters are not very useful in the comments, but I have never read anything about the number of I/O, err. This would be another case where PerfMon is not reliable? However, the prompt is smart enough (this is SQL Server) to understand these metrics and will change its behavior accordingly. If SQL think lack of resources so his will react accordingly. Or, is it something in the virtualization layer to actually add 10 + ms of latency in the virtual machine? The disk is PVSCI and I think to change to LSI Logic SAS. I wonder if PVSCSI adds latency. Because he comes to Windows 2008 R2, the disks are already lined up.

  I'm afraid that the virtualization layer (or some other misconfiguration) adds latency of disk on the virtual computer, which in turn slows down the environment, which in turn causes the sales organization to shout in my direction. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  Brian Laws, VCP4

  The problem with comments counters is not exact step is not specifically related to the CPU or memory.  On the contrary, it is related to a metric which is measured in a unit of time.  Thus, for example, what is measured in increments of seconds (average disk read/s, etc) could potentially be inaccurate.  This is because the virtual machines have complete access to a CPU to 100% of the time, so their perception of how long 1 second is actually might not be quite accurate.  It becomes more pronounced the more widely used the vCPUs of the guest are so how busy the ESX host is himself.

  I wouldn't trust the numbers coming from ESXTOP because they are not influenced by the present and are more accurate.  If you can also look at the numbers on your storage array and make sure they are near ESXTOP so you can probably ignore the data you receive in the comments.
