Re: No hardware sensors for Intel ST1200BTS

0
0

Ah I see. I should have done my homework before picking the BTS (I'm kinda new to server parts, hence building this for learning).

Thanks for the help & info!

 

Btw, it's a bit of a long shot, but there isn't some sort of add-on hardware that I could add to access the hardware sensors is there?

XP migration hangs at 95% in Fusion Pro

0
0

Hi:

 

Decided to get rid of one of my boxes by migrating it to a VM.  Everything looked good.

 

Used the VMware Fusion PC Migration Agent on the XP side over my LAN.

 

Have Fusion Pro installed on my Macbook Pro w/ tons of space.

 

Just stalled after completing transfer at 95%.

 

I've seen several other threads indicating this is a very common problem but no answers so I'm starting a new thread since there was too much noise on the other threads.

 

Thanks

I am connected via vcenter as well as the host via the viclient

Sreec,

 

Using this link you provided:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1028042

How long do you estimate it would take to complete?  The VM has three hard disks, two on one datastore (40 and 60gig) and one on another datastore (200gig).  Being it's an essential server, I can take it down for tonight and tomorrow but need it up by Monday morning.

 

Thank you for all your help.  :-)

instead of trying to delete all 255 snaps, you could just clone it to a new vm.

 

if you dont have vcenter, then use vmware converter to do a v2v migration.

turn off ssl to make it go faster

this way you arent affecting your actual VM, so if something worries you, you have a way to back out by just turning on the 1st vm rather than the clone/conversion.

Nowdays I have a Cloud with 15 hosts and 2 Equallogic (iSCSI) I want to add a EMC VNX 5100 (FiberC) to my cloud. Is there any kind of limitation to use a differente version of SAN in the same cloud ? I will lose any feature from Vsphere 5.1 Enterprise Plus ?

Re: Adding Amazon EC3 fails

Well it looks like this error comes from a malformed guid related to the proxy credentials in the endpoint setup.  I'm not quite sure how that could happen, but maybe you could try going back through the endpoint setup and "reset" the credentials.  There's no reset button, so either delete then save and readd then save again them or if you're not using credentials add some fake ones then save and delete then save again.

 

Let us know your progress.


Re: Selecting a reservation policy at machine request time

The custom property is unfortunately a guid __reservationPolicyID and there's not a terribly great method for exposing this in the UI.  There's been lots of requests for this and in most cases it's been some a custom web control.  Not sure if we can vote for this somehow to get it on the roadmap but it doesn't seem very complicated and a common use case.

Running VMworkstation 9 with win 2008 r2 and two virtual clients: KEEPS FREEZING

0
0

I have a HP Dv6 Laptop with Windows 7 home/premium 64 bit  OS, 2nd gen i7 2.2 ghz and 8gb of RAM. I am taking a college course that utilizes VMworkstation for a server(win 2008 r2) and 2 Windows 7 clients running all in separate virtual machines. I logged onto to the server and one client to create additional users for a class lab. My host and virtual machine froze. I was not able to move the curser, execute ctl, alt, delete or anything at all. I had to force a shutdown by pressing the power button. I know that's a no no, however it was the only way to exit. So I uninstalled VM-ws and deleted the 3 VMs that were previously created from school so I could start fresh. I re-installed everything and attempted to use the Windows 2008r2 Vm, with the same negative results. Prior to booting the Vm immediately after re-installation I changed the the default memory (on the VM) allacation from 1gb to 2gb and also enabled the VT setting in my laptop's BIOS.

What's the output of: "esxcfg-nics -l" ? Is it showing all the NICs?

 

It seems to be a driver issue or maybe those NICs are disabled from BIOS.

Which converter version you're using to virtualize this VM?

 

If you're using Converter 5.X, then you'll have issues with GPT partitions. Try to use Converter 4.3

I tried removing it fom the dvswitch and readded it back. But its giving me this error

 

vDS operation failed on host xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,  got (vim.fault.ResourceInUse) exception


Re: no nics shown as attached

Just a thought, can you enter the host in maintenance mode and try to remove it from the vds?

 

you need to make sure that no VMs are hosted on the host even if it's powered off coz it might block a port on that vds through this host.
