Getting Windows Server 2008 to Create a Virtual Machine to Run Windows 8.1 Is Easy -- Not So Getting Windows Server 2012 To Do So

I spent an entire work day trying to configure HYPER-V on Windows 2012 R2 Server to run Windows 8.1 in a virtual operating system. Gave up entirely on Windows 2012 R2 Server since no matter how I changed the memory configuration, it insisted there was
too little memory available to perform bootstrap and initialization of the Windows 2012 R2 Server / Windows 8.1 combination. In vivid contrast, getting Windows 8.1 installed and operational under HYPER-V running on Windows 2008 Server is a snap. No whining
from HYPER-V about a purported lack of memory. The machine has 2GB of main memory and nothing much running on it besides HYPER-V. This situation is, of course, all my fault.

Hi Sir ,
Personally , 2 GB for 2012R2 host and a windows8.1 VM is a little low .
Also the memory consumption is different between 2012R2 and 2008 .
I would suggest you run RAMmap.exe to check the free space , then you may see how many RAM can be used ：

By the way , win8.1 is not in the
supported guest OS list of 2008 hyper-v server .

Error While Creating Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT Virtual Machine

I am facing an error while creating a Virtual Machine on the Cloud. The Error is below:
Error (610)
Virtual Machine Manager was unable to find a value for the required Sysprep parameter ProductKey.
Recommended Action
Add the missing Sysprep parameter either to the answer file or to the operating system configuration, and then try the operation again.
My Template does not have the Product Key defined. The OS is Windows Server 2008 SP2 32-BIT. Is defining Product Key absolutely necessary? I have other Templates for other Operating Systems and they are working fine. Only facing problem
with this.
Any help would be appreciated.

In the SCVMM world a 'template' is composed of the following: a VHD with an OS that has been generalized (sysprep), virtual hardware profile (settings), and an OS profile.
The OS profile is required to have a product key. A MAC activation key at the minimum. But the key is required.
If you deploy a VM from a VHD, the same customization assumptions are not at play. Which is why it succeeds. (there is no template in this case, there is also no requirement that the OS in the VHD be sysprep'd).
SCVMM has rules. And lots of things don't make sense until you begin to understand them and play within them. (I am not saying that the SCVMM rules are a good thing, just saying they exist)

After above error SOA managed server is to be down.
Please help me that how can i resolve this issue.
Thanks

Hi Dharm,
This is typically printed when we are short on memory.
What is OS version and JDK being using here ? 32bit or 64bit ?
Current Xms and Xmx values ?

Could Not Create Java Virtual Machine when lauching PS3 Meadis server

I suddenly get the following error message when trying to launch the PS3 Media Server, " COULD NOT CREATE JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE". I have tried uninstalling and installing both Java and the PS3 Media Server. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas or advice?

You changed something on your machine. Might help to remember what.
But to start with you first figure out if java itself is working. If it is then it is problem with the application and not java.

Cannot create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC in Oracle VM 2.2

Dear All,
I try many times to create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC but not get success.
When I created it already and then I start the Power On button, it run normally but the Console button cannot click on (hide). After that the virtual machine running abit then it change status to Powered Off.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

�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.

Failed to create Java Virtual Machine

Hi All,
I am facing Failed to create java virtual machine error in SAP Lumira 1.23 while opening it.
I need to uninstall it and install again whenever I want to use it. but this is not correct solution of it.
Please suggest the solution for this issue.

Good morning, Sheetal - We had the same problem. We have a number of Windows 7 32-bit PCs. I opened a message with SAP, and here is their guidance. If you look at Note 2124755, it will refer you to another note, Note 1951035. IN this note, it says you need to download the Java Access Bridge for Microsoft Operating System 2.01 from Oracle. The URL is in the Note 1951035. I downloaded the one for the manual installation. Then, once you have extracted the files from the ZIP file, here is where I placed them:
Copy WindowsAccessBridge.dll to %WINDOWSHOME%\SYSTEM32
Copy JavaAccessBridge.dll and JAWTAccessBridge.dll to
C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\jre\bin
Copy accessibility.properties to C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\jre\lib
Copy access-bridge.jar and jaccess-1_2.jar, jaccess-1_3.jar and jaccess-1_4.jar to
C:\Program Files\SAP Lumira\Desktop\jre\lib\ext
For good measure, I usually reboot the PC afterwards. Then you should no longer get the error message "Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine".
I hope that helps!

Error message: " Couldn't create Java Virtual Machine"

Hi,
I recently downloaded from IBM rational application developer for websphere software v 7.5. The installation was successful. But when I try to open it, the error message:"could not create the Java virtual Machine".

Please some one help me how to fix it.

"Low Memory Warning" and "fails to create a virtual machine"

From ide.conf, I learnt:
If you are getting the 'Low Memory Warning' Message Dialog while running JDeveloper, please increase the -Xmx value below from the default 768M to something greater, like 1024M or 1250M. If after increasing the value, JDeveloper is no longer starting up because it fails to create a virtual machine, then please reduce the modified -Xmx value.
However,
If I set it to a bigger value, say 512M, it fails to create a virtual machine.
If I set it to a smaller value, say 400M, it throws Low Memory Warning after a short while.
So I do not know how to do. Total physical memory of my box is 4G. Free physical user memory after starting jdev is 1.5G.

512M isn't bigger, the default (according to your reading) is 768M...
I just tried with JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 (64-bit machine, but using 32-bit JVM) - works fine with 1024M - just to confirm that my changes are working, 5024M does give me "unable to create virtual machine"
Have you messed about with other settings?

What file do I need to upgrade SQLServer 2008 R2 on a virtual machine?

What file do I need to upgrade SQLServer 2008 R2 on a virtual machine?

Hi Jerry_TKO,
If I understand correctly, you want to update to SQL Server 2008 R2 from earlier version. If in this scenario, we should notice that not all versions and editions are supported to update to SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details about supported versions and
editions in SQL Server 2008 R2, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms143393(v=sql.105).aspx
For local installations, you must run Setup as an administrator. If you install SQL Server from a remote share, you must use a domain account that has read and execute permissions on the remote share. The following document about how to upgrade to SQL Server
2008 R2 is for your reference:

If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Error while installing SOA, "Could not create java virtual machine"

I am trying to install SOA latest release, but am getting an error stating "Could not create java virtual machine" and just that. No log, nothing. Could anybody help me out on this?

Is JRE installed on your machine?
If yes it may get corrupted, try to remove and reinstall jre again. Then try to install SOA.

Could not create Java Virtual Machine

Till last evening everything was fine.
Today morning when I want to open HANA Studio I get error message

Error: Could not create Java Virtual Machine.
What is the solution? I checked my system Java version and it seems to be current.

Hello Sathish,
May be, some files will be missing due to deletion of some files.
So , Reinstall JDK and JRE..

Unrecognized option -a could not create Java Virtual Machine..?

while using "java -classpath <axis jar files> -a <mywsdlfile>
i got the error message as 'Unrecognized option -a could not create Java Virtual Machine"
plz help me how to get rid of this?? i've successfully installed axis1.4 & tomcat6.

Sorry, I thought that you meant to pass "-a" to the java tool and not the WSDL2JAVA tool. "-a" is definitely a valid option for WSDL2Java.
But your error indicates that it is indeed trying to pass "-a" as an option to java, which is why the error is "unable to create Java Virtual Machine".
Try using the long format for the "-a" option which is "--async". (http://ws.apache.org/axis2/tools/1_0/CodegenToolReference.html).
"java classpath pathToJAR/Filename org.apache.axis.wsdl.WSDL2Java --async pathToWsdl/WsdlFilename"

Any ideas or experiences?
Many thanks and regards,

Hello Max,
many thanks for your reply and your in my case absolutely correct answer!
In respect to your solution proposal I have renamed my Analysis-workspace folder to "Analysis-workspace-V0"
After I have started the Design Studio 1.2 SP1 a new Analysis workspace folder was created with the typical standard name "Analysis-workspace"
So I have my old Design Studio Application and an new empty Analysis folder.
By the way, in my case in addition to the folder rename it was necessary to change the -Xmx Value (SapDesignStudio.ini File) a little bit lower as in standard (in the DS1.2 SP1 setting) 1024m. To become not the Message "Failed to create Java Virtual Machine" I have changed the -Xmx Value from 1024m to 512m.
Now I´m able to start the Design Studio 1.2 SP1 as expected without Message and without breaks down after 5-6 seconds during the startup.
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Michael

Create a virtual machine of OS X

Hi! I need some help. I'm trying to create a virtual machine with OS X Yosemite installed. I have my macbook and I download an original version of OS X Yosemite from the app store. Now I want to install this OS on a virtual machine (using for example VirtualBox "www.virtualbox.org" because is the virtual machine software that I use) for try some things, install some apps, do a internal network with other machines and try some configurations, but I don't want to break my macbook (reinstall the OS is so boring). Can you give me some instructions or any manual to do this.
Thank you very much!

Boot Camp is not a Virtualization scheme -- it is only a set of drivers for the Mac-specific Hardware so that Windows can run nativley.
I think you should be asking VMWare whether you can run that VMWare program on a Mac, and how to install it. That is where you will need to turn for support if you run into problems.
