vmware service not started on boot

0
0

Dear all,

 

my host is a laptop, so it is shutdown and started regularly. recently I upgrade WS from 8 to 9 and since then the vmware service does not start automatically anymore. Since I start my guest on login, it is kind of annoying. It does not seem to be a problem with the modules since starting the service by hand is no problem:

 

> sudo service vmware status

Module vmmon loaded

Module vmnet loaded

> sudo service vmware start

Starting VMware services:

   Virtual machine monitor                                                       done

   Virtual machine communication interface                               done

   VM communication interface socket family                            done

   Blocking file system                                                            done    

   Virtual ethernet                                                                   done

   VMware Authentication Daemon                                           done

   Shared Memory Available                                                     done

>

 

The service seems to be set-up properply:

 

> /sbin/chkconfig | grep vmware

vmware                     2345

vmware-USBArbitrator       2345

vmware-workstation-server  off

> who -r

         run-level 2  2013-05-15 20:18                   last=S

>

 

The scrips in /etc/rcN.d/S20vmware are just links to ../init.d/vmware.

 

Anyone can tell me, what is going on? With all older versions of VMWS (I think I use it since WS5) this was never an issue.

The host runs Linux Mint Debian Edition.

 

Thanks and cheers,

                    Riko

All hosts are enabled, all datatstores too. In that case, there is only one datastore in the datastore Cluster. The problem is "new", it did work before For that vapp

We are on 5.1.1. We are planning to upgrade soon, but we are looking for a quicker solution ;-)

Strange, just tried it again in my test environment, and I only get a blank for the Cluster property when the VM is not in a cluster.

 

Could you perhaps attach a screenshot of the Hosts & Clusters Inventory view from the vSphere client ?

And where I could see where the VMs are actually located.

If you don't want make your infrastructure public in this way, send me a PM and we will arrange something.

Thanks for your response, but I was looking for something like Lab Manager 4.0 Internal APIs. LM used to have ManagedServerPerformAction, action 3 for Undeploy all VMs for a host.

newbie question: stop app launching in fusion-win7

I recently have had my mac app gotomeeting ( start my win7-64 vm in fusion every time i try to join a meeting.  i would rather it just stay in mac-os and NOT kick to fusion (5.0.3).  I've tried to restore all applications in my virtual machine -> preferences.  i have disabled all checkboxes for open your mac files..., open your windows files and run applications...

 

no luck. 

 

i've gotta be missing something.   any suggestions would help!

Re: vCD 5.1.2 - How can we suspend all running vApps using the API or a command?

I don't think that's an option in vCloud Director's website, nor API.

 

IN Lab Manager undeploy meant something special .. power off and remove from inventory.

 

vCloud Director doesn't do that, since all VMs should be resident in vCenter's inventory.

 

The nearest neighbor is the 'redeploy all VMs', but for vCloud, that just enters maintenance mode.

Hmm.. didn't work. I was still able to reset my admin password using the old master password using the "rsautil reset-admin-password" command.

You could install the Converter  on the source machine and select "This system" as the source.

Btw. can you please provide some details, like the OS on which you run the Converter, the Converter Version, version of VMware Workstation, XP edition (Home/Prof) and whether it's a retail or OEM edition ...

Can you post logs?

 

How much free space is on each datastore in the datastore cluster, and specifically the one where the VM is currently located?  A cluster is just an abstraction to vCLoud ... it'll try and use the existing datastore.

 

when you try to add the disk, we may check to see if we can fit an entire copy of the vm (not just checking for the newly requested disk size).

 

hence, you may need much more space than you actually do require just to add the disk.

I assume that the files oldpass.txt and newpass.txt contain the passwords in plain text ?

 

In that case try the attached script.

SRM Recovery Between 2 different processor family's

I am trying to find out if it's ok to run SRM between 2 different processor family's and different EVC settings between the clusters.

 

I believe that the systems would potentially require an extra reboot on the recovery site.

 

While I do not find anything that says this would be an issue but I am just wanting to validate that my beliefs are correct. 

Re: VMDirectPath and ATI Radeon

For accessing more RAM while using GPU-passthrough you can use the "pciHole.start = 1200" and "pciHole.end = 2200" options (works for me and many others).  I have successfully passed my Radeon HD6450 to Ubuntu (12.04, 12.10 and 13.04) using Catalyst drivers, Windows 7 (also had to install the VMware driver along with the Catalyst driver) and OSX 10.8.3 (using unofficial hack/patch) on ESXi 5.0. For sound I'm using a Terratec AureonDualUSB on an USB-controller on PCI-passthrough.

 

 

Config is:
ASRock X58 Xtreme (bios 2.90)
Intel Xeon E5606
24GB of some DDR3 ECC
Club 3D Radeon HD 6450 1GB (on passthrough, showing as "Unknown VGA compatible controller")
Gigabyte Radeon HD 2400 XT (on passthrough, tested with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04)
IBM M1015 in HBA mode (on passthrough) with 8x 2TB Seagate disks (for my fileserver VM)
Crucial M4 128GB (for VM's)
Crucial C300 64GB (for VM's and ESXi hypervisor)
Creative X-Fi PCI (on passthrough, only tested with Ubuntu)

So it looks like you are a bit behind in the XML data. The latest version is from the 14th and the version number is 2.0.0.4310.  Are you getting any errors in the Application during the refresh files? It maybe how you are connecting to the internet, and if there is a proxy  that could be preventing connection.

Thanks for the hint, there are 800 Gb available and i try to add a Disk of 40Gb. That should be sufficient. And don't forget - it Works in another vapp on the Same datastore

Virtualize Physical Machine fails quickly

The virtualizaation of "xxxxxx" failed: An unexpected error occurred.

Make sure the user "xxxxx" has sufficient privileges on "xxxx" and consult VMware Workstation documentation for assistance.

 

 

Documentation is one page.  User has administrative rights to machine which is XP Pro SP3.

 

Is there another way to do this?  Can the converter be run on the physical machine?

 

Converter is being run from Win 7 SP1.  Converter is 5.0.0 build 470252.  VMware workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769

I can almost guarantee you are having this problem as I did. http://www.supermicro.com/support/faqs/faq.cfm?faq=11049

 

 

You probably have Active State Power Management enabled in your bios. I had the exact same problem with a Supermicro and Intel 82576 onboard NIC.

 

Disable ASPM and those issues will be gone.
