Issue in creating a guest machine in a ESXi host in VMWare Workstation

0
0

Hello,

 

I have setup a lab environment in my machine with VMware workstation. In the workstation i have created a domain controller , ESXi host 6.0 , vcenter server applicance and mapped the ESXI host to the VCSA server. But  whenever i am trying to deploy  virtual machine in the esxi host ( through vcenter or directly through the esxi host) the host goes to unresponsive state.

Could someone help me in resolving this issue.

 

Regards

Sathish

"Locked master refused legacy surface reference"

after enabling 3d acceleration, guest kernel seems to fail some time after boot. dmesg says "Locked master refused legacy surface reference", or "Could not add a reference to a surface" depends on which host it is running

i5-2430M, Raideon 6600M + HD 3000, Windows 10: "Locked master refused legacy surface reference"

"Could not add a reference to a surface"

GT 730 or GTX 1050 Ti, Centos 7 or Windows 10: "Could not add a reference to a surface"

 

android-x86 x86_64 6.0 release r3.

 

i really need your help to nail this problem down. any suggestion where i should look into?

updated my first post thanks to your suggestion

 

> Are you sure that Android supports 3d acceleration at all ?

yes

 

> Did it work without before ?

i didn't have old version tested, can't find an older version to download last time i check. the author claim to have fixed in r3

 

> It would help to see the vmware.log from last failed boot.

it didn't fail to boot but it's rendering problem, flicker.

Re: VMWare Workstation 12 won't install on Win 10 x64 Build 16226-Error 1935 for Visual C++ 2008

Hi,

 

Workstation 12.0.0 is from 2015

Workstation 12.5.7 is from last Thursday, June 22, 2017

 

Without even knowing what version you even tried to install beyond version "12", trying to help is guess work.

Re: Made my VM partition too big, please help

0

Hi,

 

Shrinking the partition within the virtual disk has not the desired effect, in fact it means that the "clean up" function within vmware can no longer reclaim disk space as it can only reclaim disk space from supported file systems such as NTFS.

So the first step would be to undo that partition resize.

 

Then you are correct in that you cannot resize the virtual disk in Fusion to something smaller. There are ways to do that via other means, but perhaps it isn't needed.

Since your writing suggests that you are short on disk space, my first recommendation would be to make a backup to an external disk of the VM with the VM shut down (not suspended) before trying to reclaim disk space.

 

Then after the backup, with the VM shut down still

Go to the Fusion menu -> Virtual Machine -> Settings -> General

There's a button there "Clean up Virtual Machine"

This allows you to reclaim back any space used within the virtual machine of files that have been deleted and gives that space back to the host system.

Also note that if you have snapshots open or are using the auto protect feature that those also can use quite a bit of disk space at the host system and that the clean up works most effective (as in reclaims most disk space) with all snapshots committed and auto protect set to off.

 

Any disk space not  used should then be reclaimed and give just as much space back to the host as a fully resized virtual disk could possibly do.

The only disadvantage over a resized smaller virtual disk is that it can grow out of proportions again.

 

Hope this helps,

I was able to resolve it. Seems the host was not hung. VM machine was showing a message as "

When powering on a nested virtual machine, vSphere Client reports the warning: Running VMware ESX in a virtual machine will result in degraded performance. Do you want to continue?" and after editing the vmx file of the machine to set it as true. It worked.

 

Thanks

For me, One of the host in the cluster is in Not Responding state. As soon as i remove the host (I can afford to do that since its test lab) from the vCenter, I can select the Cluster and continue with the pool creation.

Re: Android/3D="Locked master refused legacy surface reference"

Hi,

 

Android is not a supported guest OS and as such I would be surprised that it supports 3D acceleration as provided by VMware drivers.

 

In order for 3D acceleration to even work you have to install the specific VMware drivers that are supplied by installing VMware Tools.

 

AFAIK there is no such VMware Tools package for android. I'm happy to be wrong on that though, perhaps the android developers added open-vmware-tools.

 

FWIW, a year or so ago I also tried to run android on vmware and my experiences where lockups all the time so I gave up on it.

 

The first thing to check is what kernel modules have been loaded for graphics support.


Attaching a vmware.log file to your reply here might also help in seeing what it is actually trying to do.

Apologies, you already attached logs.

 

Read the logs and it is indeed using the vmwgfx driver (from 2015, but still), not seeing anything wrong in the logs though.

From the dmesg.log, it looks like this release of Android x86 is using vmwgfx but it is an old version

 

[    2.506457] [drm] Initialized vmwgfx 2.9.0 20150810 for 0000:00:0f.0 on minor 0

 

FWIW, there is a patch related to that piece of code throws that error.

 

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/10/953

 

I don't even pretend to know what it all means. It may or may not have anything to do with this problem. The problem might be even with the Android port itself and not necessarily with the vmwgfx driver.

 

I know nothing about Android x86 (let alone the numerous sweet flavoured Androids) but AFAIK, the Accelerated 3D graphics will only help in Linux guests, if the application or OS itself in the guest VM is using OpenGL.

Having trouble with police scanner Serial to USB cable on VM

0
0

I am running an ESXI on a desktop computer with 2 VMs. My windows 10 VM is used for recording and monitoring my 2 police scanners using proscan software. I am having trouble getting the VM to recognize my serial to USB cables. The software will usually see them and show the (virtual) com ports as available, but not properly detect my scanner or say the baud rate is incorrect. Does anyone know some other things I can try to get these to work? I am also having an issue getting a USB sound card to be detected. not sure if that is also related.

 

Thanks for the help!

Re: Crash Consistent and application consistent backup for the same job

Usually if there is a quiesce failure the restore point would be crash consistent. Else they appear as app consistent.

Should not be an issue if this is a non DB hosted VM.

Hi There,

 

what version of vdp when you say 6.1? There are many releases of 6.1 and VC 6.5 supports VDP 6.1.4 only.

 

Translating with google translate:

Qual versão do vdp quando você diz 6.1? Existem vários lançamentos de 6.1 e VC 6.5 só suporta o VDP 6.1.4

Hi,

The VirtualBox creators and user community has been successful on enabling SATA and USB 3.0

support for Windows XP guests.

Are these two supports in any way also possible (vmware natively or not) in case of Fusion hypervisor ?

VMWare Player 7.1 (or Workstation 11) for Unity under newer Linux Kernels (i.e. 4.9)

0
0

Hi,

 

I'm running VMWare Player 7.1.4 because this is the last version to support Unity with Linux guests. (https://communities.vmware.com/thread/518568)

 

My host is currently Debian 8 (Jessie) with Kernel 3.16.0.4 and everything works very nicely!

 

Debian 9 was recently released and defaults to Kernel 4.9. I know that the modules for network support, etc. must have their code patched to properly build with the newer Kernel and newer GCC.

 

I'm sure that others must be using Player 7/Workstation 10 to keep Unity Support. Any info on getting this working with newer kernels would be much appreciated!

 

P.S. I found a patch put out by Arch Linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-patch/) designed for VMWare Workstation and I suspect part of the answer is there.

 

Thanks much!

Re: Extract the data from xml file

I guess you refer to PowerShellRemotePSObject.getXml() function.  If that is the case there are few utility classes comming with the plugin wich can help you to work wit result from powershell plugin.

 

There is sample workflow demonstrating how to extract values from  .ps script output distributed with the plugin itself  "Library/PowerShell/Samples/List directory content"    

I usually use getXml()/getJson methods to get general knowledge of the structure of the returned result (what kind of objects are returned arrays,maps,simple types, complex objects and available properties ) .  This info can also be found by looking at power-shell help .

 

Once I know what kind of objects are returned by the script you can use PowerShellRemotePSObject.getRootObject() and

a) if it is an array than the call to PowerShellRemotePSObject.getRootObject() will return javascript  Array object and you can process it as normal js array

b) if it is simple type (string/int ..) it is mapped to js simple type

c) if it is a complex object then use .getProperty() to access particular object properties

...

 

vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center

 

 

If you post some example xml  returned I can provide some examples for extracting values from it.

Hope it helps!

Re: Set guest client area to 1600 x 900 (exact resolution) - guest high dpi work-around?

0

Answer to the bonus question:

You can also set scaling for the CentOS 7 KDE using xrandr.

 

Example:

xrandr --output Virtual1 --scale 0.75x0.75

 

To put it back to default scaling

xrandr --output Virtual1 --scale 1x1

 

One thing I found if I use

 

xrandr --size 1600x900

 

to set the screen resolution (after the xrandr --newmode and --addmode) is that sometimes (not all the time), the fonts became bigger (for example the Konsole fonts, the Display Config app buttons became bigger).
