Hello George,.

order on the nested virtual machines, you must set monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"

  • Can not power up the virtual computer after failure of storage

    An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM myvm. Cannot create the file ' / vmfs/volumes/53309937-d077e300-a76c-0025b51a12ae/myvm/vmx-CDCSA1-805443817-1.vswp ': host no is not a newspaper could not start VMX: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NO_JOURNAL

    Restart the ESX host solved the problems.  Restart all services did not help.  Air data warehouses / ReadOnly.  VMotion would hang up on VM associated with these stores of data so that means a failure, forcing the host to restart.

  • Can not put on the virtual computer after Storage VMotion

    I use the snap for the customer VI do some storage vmotion, where I can best use our space on our tables. I have a particular virtual machine that I transferred autour storage that has a total of 3 VMDK, all on separate LUNS. As soon as I moved them all in the right place, where I wanted them, I can't turn on the virtual machine because it says there is no space available on the device. I am trying to boot the machine with 4 GB of memory, the boot LUN more than 400 GB free on it. The other two LUNS have 225 MB, and 192 MB of free space. I can only start the machine if I change the memory of 192 MB or less. I know that problems with the file exchange and memory overhead, but this virtual machine has always run with these two LUNS with very little space. I can only assume it is somehow related to the storage vmotion. The pagefile is set to store the virtual machine and I'm still having the problem. Need help.

    Storage vmotion the VMX file of the LUN with more space (easier) or add manually a config parameter (settings, Options, general, settings) sched.swap.dir = / vmfs/volumes/DS/Machine

    (where DS and Machine related to your environment).

  • HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi

    I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?

    I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

    If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

  • Can not power on vm after the deletion of snapshots

    Hello, I'm afraid that I watered a virtual machine. It's on ESXi 4.1. I deleted all snapshots and now I can not power on a virtual machine. Power on the selection is grayed out.

    Is there a way to get back on this virtual machine? I still see the 10G vmdk file in the data store if it matters.

    TIA

    How big are the snapshots? Maybe the process is still ongoing! Generally remove snapshots works without problems if you run lack of disk space, so I think you need to just be patient.

  • You can not call a method on a null power/PowerShell CLI - Script expression to set PSP, IOPS / s.

    Fellow Scripting Guys,

    I am developing a script that will allow us to assign PSP RR and IOPS / s to 1 for our 5.0 ESXi environments.  I encounter an error "You can not call a method on a null value expression" that I cannot quite understand so thought I'd ask the community for some assistance / advice.

    View the script in the Script of PowerGUI Editor, I get the error in the following lines:

    Line 27, tank 26

    Line 33, tank 35

    The script I use is attached.

    This text is based on the script of Armin van Lieshout of 2011.

    I suspect that you can use the commands for ESX 4.x.

    Instead of

    $esxcli.nmp.path.list)

    try to use

    $esxcli.storage.nmp.path.list)

    The layout of the esxcli order changed between 4.x and 5.x

  • You can use a zip for time machine drive?

    I know he said 'external hard drive', but do not know if this means that you can use a zip for time machine drive? (including so you can back up your entire OS, but also files)

    Probably yes, but just wonder how to connect ZIP drive to your iMac.

  • Why you can not move the address bar to FF 29.1 and put in place if you wish?

    I hate this version of FF sucks, my set up disappeared (it took forever to put upward the way I liked it and it's just been eliminated in a single update what horror) and I tried to put it was, but it seems that you can not. I love FF in black including my menu bookmark I have poor eyesight and it is much easier to read, FF is black OK, but I can't get the bookmark, menu has changed the way that it used to be. Also can you change the LEGS down. You also don't seem to be able to move the address bar it's stuck on the right side of the page to the most ridiculous place, it might be. I appreciate if anyone has any ideas that could help me I'd love to hear from you, Bravo and thank you for taking the time to read my problems. I hope 30 FF will improve or it will be IE and not more FF.

    1. Classic restaurateur theme installation and restart Firefox when prompted.
    2. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
    3. Beside the classical restaurant theme, click on the Options button.
    4. On the Home tab, in the left upper corner, set ' tabs not on it "and make sure that"Tabs in the title bar"is not checked. You can also check 'Mobile back-forward button', ' Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons "and"combine stop & reload buttons. Close the options window when finished.
    5. Right-click on a zone empty of the tab bar and select Customize.
    6. Drag the buttons on the address bar and the search bar where you want. Click the Customize the output at the bottom right button when finished.

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.
