Re: VM 2008R2 on ESX free 5.1 too slow

Hi André, thank for your welcome.

 

I tried to use the log, but there are thousands of rows and nothing captured my attention, except these:

 

2013-11-27T15:22:10.502Z| vmx| I120: CDROM ide1:0: CMD 0x5a (MODE SENSE(10)) FAILED (key 0x5 asc 0x24 ascq 0)

2013-11-27T18:31:33.792Z| vmx| I120: CDROM ide1:0: CMD 0x5a (MODE SENSE(10)) FAILED (key 0x5 asc 0x24 ascq 0)

But I see lot of these errors in other vm's log which work fine...

 

I'm sorry but... what I should find?

 

Thanks.

Re: Using: monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"

It is a Stock charting program called MetaStock and using the restrict_backdoor instruction in the vmx file does make it run ok, the problem is that the change also makes Fusion think that the guest is not a virtual machine so it disables the VM Tools, I would have thought that Fusion wouldn't fall for that trick itself! I'm just wondering if there is another command etc that can fool MetaStock into thinking it's running on a real PC but Fusion itself knows that it is Virtual and so allows the tools to run as well as MetaStock.

Re: VM 2008R2 on ESX free 5.1 too slow

I tried a few minutes ago to power on the vm and arrives to desktop: the OS start in about 3 minutes and then more 3 minutes to come to desktop. After that I tried to open IE and that takes more then 1 minutes. It seems that the system freezes sometimes, it takes "breaks".

 

I increased the amount of video ram, removed the cd-rom but nothing change. As I said before, the OS is a fresh install, with no role, no av, nothing at all... just the minimum set of software after an install.

 

Thank you

Strangely enough this fix only worked on 2 our of the 4 SSDs I have in the host, now more confused then ever with this. I have also found that another image with windows 8.1 installed works just fine but even a clean install of Windows 7 fails.

Hey,

 

Looks like there is kind of known issue

 

Even a fresh install has similar issue .. ref

 

in below url i did not find any option as

 

  1. Click Home.
  2. Click Administration.
  3. Click Single Sign-On> Users and Groups.
  4. Click on the Users tab
  5. Right-click the affected user account, such as administrator@vsphere.local, and click Unlock.

i do not find any dir or exe as well as mentioned

Re: VMware ESXi 5.5 local users for CIM Monitoring role

Thanks for the reply Abhilash. Looks like I am missing something. Could you please help with the exact steps ?

 

Here are the steps that i have followed:-

 

1. Created a local user using vCenter Client (Via Local Users & Groups section )

2. This can not be added to a group since it's not supported from 5.1 onwards i suppose ?

3. Now created a role using vSphere Web client by selecting the  CIM interactions

4. Using Webclient, Traverse to Manage --> Permissions. Add Permission. But "Users & Groups" dont list user created in 1st step!

 

Do you follow this procedure to assign a role for a specific user ?

Re: insanely slow Win8.1 + VS2012 as a guest OS

In my case HD performance was quite slow I guess. In device manager it showed 90-100% for HDD quite often. I only have one HD, so cannot put it on a separate drive. In any case, when there is no load, and the guest has 4GB of ram I expect that right click wouldn't take seconds in Visual Studio.

Yesterday I converted my vmdk drive to vhd and tried Hyper-V for the first time. Performance is better (I connected to it via RDP), at least it doesn't make me count seconds every time I do right click or something like that.

rest plugin usage

November 30, 2013, 1:23 am

hi all,

 

I am a little new to the rest plugin trying to work out best practice.

i have correctly configured rest host and operations and subsequently returning xml responses.

 

when processing those responses i just need to return an ID for the rest object. I need to post the returned object from a get operation into a new post operation.

 

would you normally hack up the response with the xml plugin to reuse the response id in the new post operation?

 

or is there a way to pass that returned object back with additional data such as a new childobject

 

my current rest operation call is like this

 

GET /systems?name={Name}

 

this correctly returns that object which i then need to reuse as

 

POST /systems/{returnedObjectId}/newChildItem/{new data object}

 

the only way i can see to this is hack up the response to get the id. is that correct?

I have workstation 9.0.4 running on a windows 7 64-bit host. I recently created a debian 7 wheezy 64-bit guest vm and installed the vmware tools onto it.

 

When I share folders from the host to the vm, I can't find hte shared folders anywhere when I am on hte guest.

 

Is there something special I have to do to enable shared folders from the guest vm side?

Always go with the exam blueprint, if it mentions 5.5 or points to 5.5 documents then you know the exam has been updated. It doesn't at the moment, so for now the exam is across 5.0/5.1

Download the blueprint and see what version is either stated in there, or which version the documentation links in the blueprint point to.

I'm running VMWare Fusion 5.0.3 on Mountain Lion 10.8.5.  I'm running as guest Ubuntu 12.10.  I plugged in my shiny new 4TB Seagate Backup Plus USB 3 disk in.  "lsusb" shows the device, but "fdisk -l" does not show it.

 

I followed your advice and shut down the guest, and checked the box "USB Compatibility: USB 3.0"  under "Advanced USB Options", and now it automounts and works fine!  Thank you.

Re: Help me - Miscellaneous questions

Hello and welcome to the communities.

 

Question 1:

There is the ESX version? And now there is only the ESXi version? I tried downloading the ESX and found I can just see the ESXi 5.5 .

There is no longer ESX. It is all ESXi now.

 

Question 2 :

If not longer more ESX version , as we do with ARCserve Backup to perform you need to install the agent to perform bakcup virtual machines ?

You will need to update ARCserve to a newer version. They have an option that can backup full VMs or you can use the agented in-guest approach.

 

Question 3 :

In my environment I have 5 VMWares hosts , each with a different version and some with others with ESX4 and ESXi 4 . I am installing a new machine with ESX5.5 to use the HA cluster .

What is recommended ? Upgrade these machines with older versions to 5.5 ? In the case of ESX4 , I'll have to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 ?

Or no need to upgrade , suffice to include this new vCenter and create the HA cluster ?

You will need vCenter Server 5.5 to manage ESXi 5.5 - it can also manage your ESX/ESXi 4.x hosts. Check the VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes for support information here.

 

Question 4 :

Any recommendations for the use of virtual machines with iSCSI , knowing that thopout is much smaller than a FC (Fiber Chanel ) ? Ie keep od VMDKs OS on RAID place and the other unit in the datastore with ISCSI ? Any tips on best practice?

This depends on a lot of factors, and implementing these practices adds complexity. I like to, as a general rule, place all VM files in a single datastore to start with. What iSCSI storage are you using, as the vendor recommended best practices are probably where you will want to look here.

 

Question 5 :

If I wanted to upgrade from version 4 , which is better ? Make updates 1 , 2 , 3 ... or make direct upgrade to version 5 ?

Direct upgrade where applicable, or even better is a fresh install of 5.5. Again - if complexity isn't too bad here.

is it possible to replicate the vmware VDP appliance?

we are using VDP for one of the sets of backups but being an appliance there is a challenge getting it offisite

 

so i was wondering if replicating the VDP appliance to offisite will work?

 

asking not so much to see if it is technically feasible because i expect it will work, but more asking because of what VDP is as an appliance.

 

i suppose it is just a matter of trying it but i thought i could get the opinion of others.

 

thanks

i am using vSphere client only and this issue is with only one esxi host not with all the esxi host i think the if the issue is with the inventory db then it should be with all the servers.
