Emulate a phisical device on the virtual machine

Ok, I have a legacy system that require a phisical key connected to the server in order to work. it´s like a license device.
This is a 1995 system that it still work. We need to move it to a virtual server, however it will not work if doesn´t detect the fisical device, so I am looking for a way to emulate on the configuration every device of the source computer. this fisical
device is connected to a PCI port on the server, and the new server doesn´t even have that port.
Can this be done with any tool?
I know I can use disk2vhd v2.01 to create the hard disk info (windows installation, configuration, databases, etc), but I miss the hardware emulation part.

VMware ESXi has something called VMDirectPath.
Its the only thing close to what you want.

How I can emulate Solaris 10 sparc on a Virtual Machine?

Hi for all.
Guys, I need to emulate an environment Solaris 10 in my job. We have an application that just run in this kind of environment. But, I found some problems when I try to install Solaris 10 Sparc on Virtual Box. I think that the problem is the type of architecture that are differents.
So, someone knows a way to emulate Solaris 10 sparc architecture on a Virtual Machine. Doesn't matter the Virtual Machine application (Virtual Box, VMWare, etc..). Somebody Help me?

HI Srini_Chavali
I'm using the Solaris 10 u11.
In fact, Virtual Box supports Solaris u6 and higher. I have an installation of Virtual Box running Solaris x86. But, the problem occurs when I try to create a Virtual machine to work with Solaris 10 Sparc architecture.
The errors that appears on the screen are:
"No bootable medium found! System Halted" and "FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted"
This error occurs just with Architecture sparc.

Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 64 bit, "Could not send keys to the virtual machine"

Hi,
I newly installed Windows 8.1 (not an upgrade, fresh install from corporate network) on a Dell Precision T7600 workstation and enabled the Hyper-V feature with the matching management. I created a couple of 2 GB RAM, 2 virtual CPUs VMs and am trying to install
Windows Server 2k8R2 and 2k12 on them. After a network boot, during the first couple dialog boxes for Windows setup, I am unable to use the keyboard. When I try to boot from an ISO, the VM get stuck on a black screen "Starting Windows". In either
case if I use the VM connection window menu to paste from clipboard or send ctrl+alt+del, I get the error:
Virtual Machine Connection
Could not send keys to the virtual machine.
Interacting with the virtual machine's keyboard device failed.
I search online for this error and did not find others experiencing it.
I tried to shutdown and reset both VMs, I stopped and restarted the Hyper-V service. Neither helped. I am not sure what other step I can take at this point.
Also, I configured a virtual switch as external network on one of the two Intel network adapters. Both connect to a gigabit switch. "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" is checked. Both VMs are on the same virtual switch.

Hi,
Can you find any information in event log about this issue?
Based on my research, it seems that the Dll file related to Hyper-v was corrupted.
I suggest you try using the following command to repair your system.
1.Open an elevated command prompt: press Win+X, then click Command Prompt(Admin),and press Enter.
2.At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

While deleting the virtual machine .vhd folder -- error msg : the process cannot access the file beacuse it is being used by another process

When i am trying to delete the Virtual Machine folder/directory i get the below error. Virtual machine is turned off

ME-EXCAS01, Are you sure (Y/N)? y

How to delete the whole folder ?
Thanks

Also, if your VM has snapshots and you delete it, you must wait for the snapshots to finish merging - the VHD files will be locked until then.

I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

Virtual machine VHD file is missing the "Virtual Machine" Security group from ACL

Hey All,
Doing support work for a client and they are unable to take snapshots from certain vm's. I think this is down the VM not having the virtual machines security group within its ACL instead is seems to just have two GUIDs. to me if looks like the vm's have
been moved and imported or something like that but was obviously not done correctly.
When taking a snapshot they get a general access denied error
Does anyone know a quick way to add the virtual machines security group back into the ACL, I did find some powershell commands however this errored stating I could not change the owner of the group.
I'll keep looking but if someone knows a quick fix for this I would appreciate it. One other thing I had thought of was turning the vm off, The creating a new Virtual machine and attaching the VHD as the new VM? Would this work?
thanks in advanced

Hi Dunn2010,
Yes , please try to copy the VHD then create a new virtual machine and attach the replication .
If it is possible please try to find the relevant Error messege of your question in event log and post it here .
Any further information please feel free to let us know.

Problem with the virtual machine

Hello.
i've encountered problem with the virtual machine. Java instance is reseting sometimes. I found message in dev_server0 there is:

[Thr 6] JLaunchIExitJava: exit hook is called (rc = 666)
[Thr 6] **********************************************************************
ERROR => The Java VM terminated with a non-zero exit code.

in dev_jcontorol:

[Thr 1] JStartupICreateProcess: fork process (pid 16077)
[Thr 1] JControlICheckProcessList: process server0 started (PID:16077)

where i can looking the reason of this?
regards,
Denis

Hi Denis,
This looks like a memory issue, similar problems have been posted on this forum before.
Change the following params.
-XX:PermSize=2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=2048m
Also,
See SAP note 709140 and the referenced notes.

�Unable to create the virtual machine. The error was -4�

I have a VS2003 C# application, which call JACE (a JNI wrapper) through C++ mixed mode to use JAVA object�s functions.
Because the natural of our JAVA program it must be able to reach maximum heap size of 512MB, we set it during the startup of JVM by using �-Xmx512M� parameter.
It worked well with a small PC (Dell Optiplex GX750 and Shuttle Xpc ) with only 512MB physical memory. We have about 50 machines running the application in the production.
Recently, one of our customers installs the application to a larger PC ( Shuttle Xpc with different model), which has 1 GB of physical memory. The application started throw exception from JVM. The error message is �Unable to create the virtual machine. The error was -4�. I checked with JNI return code and found that -4 mean �not enough memory�.
I did some experiment by running the application with 2GB PC, 1 GB PC, 1GB laptop, 512MB PC. I don�t found relationship between how much �maximum heap size� can be assigned and how much �physical memory� is available (reading from task manager). The 2GB machine can take only 128MB of �maximum heap size� However, 1GB machine can take up to 300MB of �maximum heap size�.
I also use program like ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) to test maximum heap size for it. I found that ImageJ can take 512MB maximum heap size without problem. It can even take 1024MB of maximum heap size.
I have created a small program to duplicate this problem. Although it use exact the same code to start JVM up, it can go up to 650MB heap size for both 2GB and 1GB PC.
This is puzzling. Does anyone know what are factors determine how much �maximum heap size� can be set for JVM from JNI?
Software used
Windows XP SP2
Visual studio.net 2003 SP1 (the problem also occurred without SP1)
.NET Framework 1.1 SP1
JACE 1.1rc1_05
JRE 1.5.07 (also tested with JRE 1.5.09 and 1.6.0 beta)

Do you resolve the problem? If so what was the fix?
I have been getting the Java Virtual Machine Launcher error message Could not create the virtual machine when attempting to run an Oracle application that uses JNLP via a browser. Even clicking on componets such as javaw.exe produces the error message. In conjunction with receiving the error message, the application that I am working with will not launch.
I had JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 installed and thought that installing JDK 5u17 may resolve the issue. I removed JRE 5u10 and J2RE 1.4.2u13 and installed JDK 5u17 (and the included JRE 5u17.) The error message was still there.
I have unistalled (via Add/Remove programs) and reinstalled (via both Win off-line and on-line) JDK 5u17 and JRE 5u17 many times.
During the uninstalls I have received a Java Web Start 1.5.0_17 bad installation error invoking JVM error message.
I have restarted the machine also.
There are some remains of J2RE 1.4.2u13 still on the machine even after the 1.4.2u13 uninstall. The Java\j2re1.4.2_13\lib folder remains.
I am running Win XP SP2 and IE6 SP2.
Note: I cannot use Java 6 since the application that I am working with is Java 5 based.

'SERVERNAME' failed to perform the operation. The virtual machine is not in a valid state to perform the operation. (Virtual machine ID "GUID")

DPM 2012 R2
Server 2012 R2 and Server 2012 (R1). Both CSV volumes and Hyper-V hosts with non clustered volumes.
ISCSI Attached Storage. (Nimble SAN)
Every time a VM backup is made this error message occurs:
"'SERVERNAME' failed to perform the operation. The virtual machine is not in a valid state to perform the operation. (Virtual machine ID "GUID")"
The backup seems to finish fine most of the time, but it also seems to be causing some VM's to be in a hung/frozen state when this happens.

Hi Nordland,
So it seems that there are some non-backup operation that is trying to occur on the Virtual machine while the backup is in progress. Does this VM have replication enabled on it. Is there a Hyper-V replica server to which this machine get's replicated?

Expanding the virtual machine max memory in osx

i just upgraded the memory on my power mac because this java program im using requires alot of memory on the heap. i remember on windows, there is a property file u can tweak to increase the max memory used by the virtual machine, im just wondering if you can do the same with osx (10.2)

Yes - it's in Applications/Utilities and it's called Terminal. Default shell is tcsh but you can download bash and configure it to use that - there are probably other shells out there too.

Codedui: Unable To Identify Objects Inside The Virtual Machine

Hi
We are unable to identify objects inside the virtual machine. We want to perform some tasks inside the virtual machine. The virtual machine object is getting identified as image. So when we perform tasks like creating a folder or opening any application
inside that virtual machine, all actions are recorded as image.Need help on this ASAP.
Thanks

Hi Haripriya78,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
>>Codedui: Unable To Identify Objects Inside The Virtual Machine
Based on your issue, could you please tell me what operation you do and then get the error message?
Whether you record and run this coded UI test and then get the error message?
If possible, please tell me more detailed message about this issue.
Generally, I know that if you want to identify objects for coded UI test, I know that the
recorder needs to be present in the machine on which you are trying to record actions.
For more information, please refer the Vinoth's suggestion to check this issue.

Hyper-V - 'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'

Hi all,
Having a bit of a nightmare with Hyper-V on my Windows 8 Pro laptop - Whenever I create a new VM and try to start it I receive the following error;
'Failed to start the virtual machine 'test' because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.'
I sometimes also receive an error saying something along the lines of 'Unable to change virtual machine state'
I have done a lot of searching a seen two common answers - The first is to try removing the Hyper-V role and re-adding it - I have tried this several times to no avail. (Intel VT and all virtualisation capabilities are enabled in BIOS). The second issue
it would seem
some people have had relates to editing the VMX configuration file and adding the line
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" - I thought VMX files were only present in VMware Virtual Machines...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
James

The hypervisor event log message is generated only at boot - so this would be expected. Also vmbus should not be running on the host (I was looking at a VM yesterday)... This error message is generated only when the vid is determined not to be
running or cannot communicate with the hypervisor.
I have seen this due to anti-virus software in the past or due to driver verifier being configured. Since it looks like you checked driver verifier already do you have anti-virus software installed? If so have you followed the best practices
and exempted the Hyper-v services?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283088(WS.10).aspx
To resolve this problem, configure the real-time scanning component within your antivirus software to exclude the following directories and files:
Default virtual machine configuration directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V)
Custom virtual machine configuration directories
Default virtual hard disk drive directory (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks)
Custom virtual hard disk drive directories
Custom replication data directories, if you are using Hyper-V Replica
Snapshot directories
Vmms.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)
Vmwp.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)

Activate the virtual machine

Activate the virtual machine
I know that 2012 can be a self-activation technology, activate the virtual machine hyperv inside,
Host 2012R2 Add hyperV role
2008 r2 installed operating system,
Is there any way I can be free to activate the system virtual machine do? ? ?
In addition, I have heard, 2012R2 can activate three free virtual machine, but I currently do not know what to do.
Host Installation: 2012R2 add hyperV Role Genuine serial numbers have been used to activate over;
hyperV: mounting system is 2008R2 systems;
The question is: how to activate inside 2008R2 system? ?

Hi 中子112,
If you installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, Datacenter enables an unlimited number of VMs on the licensed host server.
And there is a new function is AVMA on server 2012 r2, AVMA lets you install virtual machines on a properly activated Windows server without having to manage product keys for each individual virtual machine, even in disconnected environments.
To activate VMs with AVMA, please follow these articles:
Automatic Virtual Machine Activation
Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Automatic Virtual Machine Activation
To get more detailed information about hyper-v license issue, please check this article:
