How to Add USB Drivers to a Virtual Machine

Hi,
the documentation and also the "old" Sun Wiki always refers to the USBD.SY_ from the Windows XP Media.
We have a Windows 2008 R2 Server running on VMware ESXi with RDS and I don't get the USB redirection to work properly.
First of all, the driver of the utSrServerBus Device is not installed correctly (it seams to because of the Windows Driver Compatiblity Check). The Device hast a yellow warning "!" in the Device Manager and says (Code 52).
The driver was signed wrong or the file is corrupt. I've reinstalled it several times now. Watching the driver file (inf) properties I see that it is signed by Oracle (and by Versign).
I think this also leads to that the utSrServerPort is not installed.
The second idea is, that I don't use the "right" usbd.sys. Of course it was not possible to install the one from XP. Even from XP 64 bit.
According to: http://www.digi.com/support/kbase/kbaseresultdetl.jsp?id=1051 Windows 2008 R2 need the USBD.SY_ from its original media...
BUT: the file is already there...
Thanks a lot
Julian

hi, thanks! that's a nice trick ;-)
I've installed the SRWC Components from the SRSS 5.1.1 release. Components are Version 2.0.12.0.
USB redirection works. Is this a bug of the 2.4 components?`

How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?

Hi ,
anybody know How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
I want to create lab but i couldn't I follow this article but the new VM is off
http://blogs.technet.com/b/gbanin/archive/2013/06/26/how-to-install-hyper-v-on-a-virtual-machine-in-hyper-v.aspx
one of hyper-v component is not running
thanks

Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

How to install windows 7 32 bit virtual machine on windows 7 64 bit

Wondering what would be involved in installing windows 7 32 bit as a virtual machine on a windows 7 64 bit laptop, trying to continue to use software that only has 32 bit drivers to talk to specialized hardware before scrapping the hardware. Drivers
are not updateable due to the company no longer exist. Being forced to do this since I am using windows XP to currently do this and will have to stop using XP by 01Apr2014.
thanks for any help

If it's special hardware, your chances are small for it to work in a
virtual machine. Some USB devices might work, but Virtual PC can't see
the real hardware on the host.

How to convert offline ESXi 5.5U1 virtual machines to Hyper-V?

Following on from my
earlier question, I am having trouble working out how to convert my ESXi VMs to Hyper-V. Am I doing something really unusual?
I have a ESXi 5.5U1 server at home for my home test lab. I want to convert this to Hyper-V Core 2012 R2. Target storage layout will look like this:
Currently under ESXi 5.5, I don't have the C drive (using a USB flash to boot), and the RAID-5 and RAID-0 arrays are two separate VMFS volumes.
I don't have swing kit to migrate, I have to repurpose existing hardware. I do have my Windows 8.1 workstation but that only has 900 GB free space.
Some of my VMs have vmdks greater than 2TB.
My plan was to
In ESXi before rebuilding, move my VMs from the RAID-5 vol to the RAID-0 vol and then delete anything that wouldn't fit that's not strictly necessary from the RAID-5 volume.
Shutdown ESXi and remove the USB flash drive.
Install Hyper-V onto the System disk as C drive.
Format the RAID-5 volume as NTFS (64k) and create a mount point into the C drive as C:\RAID-5. Put my VM disks in C:\RAID-5\VirtualDisks and the VMs in C:\RAID-5\VirtualMachines.
Somehow convert the VMs from the RAID-0 VMFS volume to Hyper-V VMs on the RAID-5 NTFS volume.
My confidence is low because I have tried to convert a new test machine created in ESXi 5.5 to a spare test Hyper-V 2012 R2 with the MVMC 3.1 converter and it failed. I also tried with the free 5nine converter and that failed too. I tried with and without
the Guest Additions installed. Both conversions failed. I should mention I am in a workgroup, not a windows domain.
Please help!

May i inquire on why those two products failed? I had some struggles with both of them but eventually got things worked.
Also you should try this one
Starwind V2V convertor, it has worked for pure offline conversions for me as well. That was years ago, so hopefully it still works.
Sure, here is the log from an attempt to convert a brand new VMware virtual machine which has Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard in it with no VM tools. http://pastebin.com/xdhzZ7tx
Here is the log from an attempt to convert a Lubuntu linux VM: http://pastebin.com/Nc0E8Bip
Both conversions attempted with MVMC3.1. Common error between them is
12/24/2014 08:25:36 +00:00 [7] VERBOSE: Microsoft.Accelerators.Mvmc.Engine.DiskCopyFailureException: The virtual disk(s) attached to the source virtual machine were not successfully converted to VHD(s) and copied to the
workspace folder path. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.Security.Principal.IdentityNotMappedException: Some or all identity references could not be
translated.
I retried using 5nine converter and it worked this time, not sure why. Will not try a test with a BSD based distro (pfSense) and Linux.

I currently run Windows 7 on my iMac using the Parallels software on a Virtual Machine. I now wish to use Windows through bootcamp. How do I remove windows from the Virtual Machine

I currently run Windows 7 on my Imac through a Virtual Machine format with the Parallels software. I now wish to remove Windows from the VM restore the Hard Drive to a single partition then install windows 7 using bootcamp. How do I go about it

The virtual machine isn't a partition on your hard drive, it's just a file. You can delete the vm by going into Paralells preferences or just drag t to the trash. Bootcamp will partition your hard drive for a Win 7 install.

How do we create cpu alerts on virtual machines?

We are using SCVMM 2012 R2 and SCOM 2012 R2
Under monitoring we can see the cpu load for individual instances of virtual machines Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.2012.VirtualMachine.PercentCPU
Under authoring there doesn't appear to be a cpu counter for us to create overrides to add to an alert subscription
We don't want to load the scom agent on each VM and access via e.g. target 'windows server 2012 operating system'
Thanks
David

Hi David!
1. You could create overrides directly from the perf.view, but:
2. you cannot simply add alerting to a collection rule (of a sealed MP).
3. I am able to see that perf. collection rule in the authoring pane, but again: see 2.
4. You will need the Win OS MP and an agent on the VM if you'd like to monitor the CPUs. AFAIR there is nothing in the VMM MP itself for alerting on the VMs CPU perf.
Cheers,
Patrick

How to access PS(32) in XP virtual machine under Win7(64)?

I have a PC running 64-bit Windows 7 and Photoshop CS4 std. (both 64- and 32-bit versions installed).
My HP z3100 printer drivers are 32-bit (64-bit unavailable until june 2010)
I loaded the XP virtual machine and downloaded the existing HP 32-bit drivers there, thinking I could print in that environment.
Using explorer, I found PS32 on my 'real' machine, but attempting to start it results in an exception. Bridge CS4 works ok.
1. Am I doing the right thing to print this way? I don't think I can load those drivers into my 64-bit environment.
2. Is this the right way to access my PS32?
3. If so, why does it crash? If not, what should I be doing?
Thanks
E

Adobe kindly increased my activation count. Here is the last part of my chat:
Kesavan: It is activated already on the 1st machine.
Eric: Then why doesn't it work?
Eric: It *does* work in the 64-bit part of the machine; it does *not* work in the 32-bit part
Kesavan: I understand that it takes as two activations and you need to deactivate it from any of the machine to get it activated on the other.
Eric: Yes that is the standard protocol. But it does not apply here. This is new.
Eric: I do not want to go into 64-bit PS to deactivate it every time I start the 32-bit version, then do the same thing in reverse on the way out.
Kesavan: As we value your business with us as an one time exception I've increased the activation count by 1 and now you can go ahead and get it activated without any issues.,
Eric: okay let me try.
Eric: Yes that worked. Thank you. Please consider this situation carefully - it will occur again (other users).
Eric: Thanks again
Kesavan: You are welcome.

How do i install reader in a Virtual Machine

I am a developer and need to install reader in an XP virtual machine running upon my Windows 7 desktop
I need to test out acrobat and IE 8
It gets to 34% downloaded and then fails.
In the xp machine i have turned off the firewall and removed the anti virus software
In the windows 7 machine i have turned off the firewall and turned off the anti virus software
Any other suggestions?

Download it on the host machine from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then copy it into VM. Or run it in VM directly from the host folder.

How to add USB 2.0 or FireWire connections?

Hi everyone,
I already have a USB 2.0 hub attached to my MacPro because all the available slots are taken but I would prefer if the periferals were directly plugged into the Mac. Is there any other way to add extra USB 2.0 connections or better yet, FireWire connections to the MacPro?
Rio.

Hi Rio,
I had a problem when I installed the PCI Express cards. The cards worked fine but there was a problem with automatically putting the system to sleep. If you have your system set to sleep automatically after a certain amount of time and install the cards then the system won't go to sleep automatically. I had this problem with an older G4 and my new MP. Apple told me that was normal and they expected it to be fixed in Leopard. I ended up returning the cards.
I'm not the expert, but that was my experience.
Good luck.

How to add USB storage to Server.app

I've recently moved to OSX for my development platform. I've installed the Server.app from the app store and need to start creating my development sites. The problem I'm having is that my 1TB USB 3.0 drive is not being seen by the Server.app's storage tab, thus not able to create website storage there. Can anybody please point me in the correct direction?!

Hurray! We have success! So the answer is that only drives formatted in the MacOS Extended format work within the Server.app. Props to Mark23 for his indirectly direct answer to adding USB drives to OSX server!

How to add USB printer to airport extreme

How to setup with utility

You do not use the AirPort Utility to set up a printer if that is what you mean.
You will need a Mac or a PC to setup the printer.
Post back to let us know what you have and what operating system is being used. Also we need to know if your are asking if it is possible to print from your iPad or iPhone. It may or may not be.
Keep in mind that not all printers are compatible with the AirPort Express, so this will be one of those times when you will not know if something will work until you try it.
Also keep in mind that if you have an All-in-One device, only the print function will be supported when the device is connected to the AirPort Extreme. If you need copy, scan, maintenance, etc.....probably best to leave the device connected directly to your computer.

How to debug USB drivers

I recently have a lot of kernel panics. I have discovered in the systemprofile/extensions that IODVDstoragefamily.kext has errors
a. com.apple.iokit.IOCDStorageFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found
b. Kext has a kernel dependency prior to version 6.0 and CFBundleVersion does not match executable's MODULE_VERSION
After checking i found out that i use driver version 2.1.5. while my current OS (10.3.9) should use driver 2.1.7.
My questions:
1. Could this be one of the problems.
2. Is debuggin an option or is this not advisable for a newbee like me?
(see http://developer.apple.com/devicedrivers/download/usbdebug.html)
I cannot find the kernel panic log anymore otherwise I could have send it in the post.
Thanks in advance for the help
Elro

I still have some errors in the kext but this was not the problem. I found the problem was a broken/ pinched trackpad cable
