VMWare 8 - The operation on file .vmdk failed
I randomly get a message stating
The operation on file "<file location>.vmkd" failed.
If the file resides on a remote file system, make sure that the.......
Retry | Continue | Cancel
This VM has worked for months. Now, this message randomly appears.
Attached is a screenshot of Process Monitor showing file access to that file. ONLY Workstation is accessing it.
I have disabled MS Antivirus from accessing/scanning that folder and all .vmdk files. The folder and files are not indexed, archived, backed up, etc.
Any thoughts?

Rimozione LUNs dagli host ESXi
Problema: dovrò rimuovere diverse LUN che stanno su uno storage FCP per fare delle riorganizzazioni nel sistema di storage (che comportano la distruzione di LUN e creazione di nuove).
Premesso che non sono molto a mio agio con le SAN, finora mi era capitato di creare LUN e poi aggiungerle agli host ma è la prima volta che mi capita l'inverso, mi sono per fortuna imbattuto in questo post
dove viene spiegato come sia una cosa non banale la rimozione delle LUNs con la versione 4.x (io ho la 4.1u1):
The best practices for removing a LUN from an ESX 4.1 host, as described in detail in KB 1015084, are as follows:
- Unregister all objects from the datastore including VMs and Templates
- Ensure that no 3rd party tools are accessing the datastore
- Ensure that no vSphere features, such as Storage I/O Control, are using the device
- Mask the LUN from the ESX host by creating new rules in the PSA (Pluggable Storage Architecture)
- Physically unpresent the LUN from the ESX host using the appropriate array tools
- Rescan the SAN
- Clean up the rules created earlier to mask the LUN
- Unclaim any paths left over after the LUN has been removed
premesso che la KB linkata non è più disponibile, fra i punti soprastanti quelli che mi risultano ostici sono il 4 e l'8;
per il 4 forse questo articolo, pur riferito alla vecchia versione 3 di ESX, è ancora valido: http://www.punchingclouds.com/?p=965 ?
Tutti gli altri mi paiono abbastanza chiari, per il 2 dovrò credo fare attenzione al Veeam monitor che probabilmente potrebbe interferire, quindi lo dovrò in qualche modo spegnere (alla peggio rimuovo del tutto il vCenter).
Ogni suggerimento è benvenuto
Grazie in anticipo.

vCenter Operations for View - Event Database
I'm having issues configuring the vCOPS for View adapter. When I want to configure the event database, I get the error:
Connecting to the View event database...FAILED (View event database is not configured)
Failed to connect to the View event database.
I'm using VMware View 5.1 and a SQL database for event logging. Is VMware View 5.1 supported?

How is the performance of running the VM from an external USB HD? I have about 5 images (Win XP, 7, 2003 Server, 2008 Server) and would like to get them off my hard disk and start running them from a USB HD when I need to.
Thanks!

Quartz Extreme VMWARE Driver for MAC OSX Snow Leopard
Hello everybody,
recently, i installed Snow Leopard on my pc, with wmware workstation 8.
it works fine, almost In fact, there is a probleme with the emulation of the graphic card. Particularry what is called "Quartz Extreme". It seems to be essential to launch somme video applications like imovie.
There is no way to use it. When i start imovie, it said :"“iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme"
I searched through many forums it was said that one or several developers worked on a driver for Vmware (in time of workstation 6 or 7) but no news since 2 years ... Apparently...
Does Anybody know a solution for this ?
Is there any driver made for emulate graphic card for MAC OSX ?
thanks for your help
regards

Fixing vcenter syslog generated files
If you already tried to read a VMware syslog generated file with Linux, you may have faced some difficulty due to the special characters <XXX> messing up the log file.
I also wrote a post on how to remove it from a single file: http://communities.vmware.com/people/marcelo.soares/blog/2012/05/15/replacing-characters-by-newline-with-sed
But... sometimes, you have around 20 files to analyze... so, here is an optimization:
for i in `ls *.log| awk '{print $NF}'`; do cat $i | sed 's/<166>/\
/g' | sed 's/<181>/\
/g' > $i.ok; done ; rm -f *log
This will have the work done in a few seconds

VMWare goes crazy after latest Windows 7 update
My Windows 7 machine became virtually unresponsive after the latest windows 7 update...symptoms include:
a. slow down to a crawl (30 minutes to startup/shutdown/start an app, etc)
b. Getting "stuck" on shutting down or starting up (leaving it for a couple of hours and never completing the process)
So I got a backup copy of the VM from a couple of months ago, and the virtual machine seemed to operate flawlessly....until I went into Windows Update and updated the system per what WU told me were "required" updates. Then, same symptoms.
I can always, when it gets stuck, do a force shutdown. If I start up with "safe mode plus networking," the machine seems to start up quickly. If I startup again in "normal" mode, same sort of flaky behavior. Some times the system will start up and behave normally, most of the time not.
I'm running the VM under 10.6.8 with 8GB RAM (with 2.8GB allocated to the VM) and 1 core, if that helps.
Thanks for any help folks might be.

Dashboard Permissions in VMWare View Administrator 4.6
Hello,
I have a VMWare View Administrator console in a shared environment. The only thing that is shared is the vCenter the View servier resides on. I have a customer's contractor who needs access to this admin page. My debacle is simply this. I want to give that user read only access to everything, but I do not want him to be able to see the Dashboard. Is this possible, and how would I set that permission.
Any help is appreciated.

ESX 5.0U1 "Chatty" to datastores
Hi All,
This is more of a question than a problem but we have a ESX 5.0U1 cluster of two host's sharing 4 ISCSI lun's and we are seeing that each lun is using about 1-3megabytes/sec of traffic. This is only on the host configured for failover but we have removed the host from the cluster and still see this kind of traffic. With 4 lun's it's adding up to around 50mbit and I would really like to know why? It seems like when this host's has these ISCSI lun's mounted it's scanning the directory structure every few milliseconds.
The host that is actually running VM's does not have this level of traffic to the datastores.
Cheers

Vmware View 5.1 & Dell MD3000i
Hi all,
Just curious if anyone here used DELL MD3000i in their environment for their View and has upgraded to the latest 5.1?
If you don't mind, please share your experience either good or bad.
I understand that the MD3000i is no longer a supported hardware but so far I haven't had any issues with View 5.0 or ESXi 5 (latest build) so I'm planning on keep on using it until next year when we have some extra funds to upgrade. Fingers crossed! 
Thanks in advance.

VMware RDP Issues
Hey all,
First, I am running VMware Workstation on Windows 7 x64. I virtualized Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.
IP of Host - 192.168.1.10
IP of VM - 192.168.1.20
To gain remote access from the outside, I logged into my FiOS Router settings and set a port forward to 3389 for 192.168.1.10.
OK - I can successfully RDP to the host from the outside.
My problem, I can't seem to get a port forward working to be able to RDP to the VM. I edited the registry entry that has the port # for RDP on the VM from 3389 to 3390. I then set a port forward in the router to 3390 for that VM's IP address. I then go to test the RDP by doing the same as I did with the host, Public IP:Port, but it won't connect!!
Firewalls all turned off, no antivirus and running bridged networking for the VM to pick up an IP from the Routers DHCP.
Please help!! Thank you!
Michael
