Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter VMware To Hyper-V Cluster

I'm not sure if this should technically be in the clustering section but I have just moved from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to 2012 R2 and I kinda miss the built-in converter tool. What I used to do when converting VMware to Hyper-V was uninstall VMware Tools and then
I would do a physical to virtual conversion on the VMware virtual machine and SCVMM would handle copying the virtual machine while it was online and register it in our Hyper-V cluster. Now, the only thing I could come up with is the Microsoft Virtual Machine
Converter but it seems rather limited and doesn't seem to have an option to import to a cluster. So is the only option to convert it over to Hyper-V as if it were a local machine and then run another export/import process to get it in the cluster? I tried
to point it to a CSV and while it copied the disk over, it registered the virtual machine in ProgramData (the default location). This obviously causes issues when trying to make the VM highly available. Any one have a suggested process of the best way to go
about this? Thank you in advance for your time!

So no matter what option I choose, V2V always shuts down the source VM during the conversion process. On the other hand, if I use the old method of uninstalling VMware tools manually and then doing a P2V instead, the source VM has to stay online for
that type of process. Then I just have to migrate it to become highly available and that seems to accomplish what I want. The only annoying part is that I couldn't run it on my Win 8.1 Pro workstation as it requires the BITS feature to be installed
and that only appears to be available on server editions (correct me if there is a way to get it on 8.1). I guess the documentation (I think) says that it should run on server editions only but V2V runs fine from 8.1 since it doesn't need BITS since it's
an offline process.

Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 3.0 throws Cannot Enumerate Disk ERROR

I am running the Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 3.0 to migrate Windows 2012 R2

Same issue here. We DID have spanned disk over 2 x VMDKs but I have fixed that issue now and problem persists. The one thing I have yet to try is installing VMWare Tools - they were uninstalled on a previous failed conversion and I am getting an error saying
"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. ---> Microsoft.Accelerators.Mvmc.Engine.DisablingNonWindowsGuestVHDException:
The virtual hard disk C:\Temp\MVMC\0\disk-0.vhdx on which you are trying to disabling VMWare tools, is not a valid Windows-guest OS virtual hard disk. (Are you trying to disable a virtual hard disk with Linux-guest or other OS in it?)"
I am about to install the tools and try again under advice from our partner

Mountain Lion procedure to clean up (shrink) a Snow Leopard virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5.0.3

Procedure to clean up (shrink) a Snow Leopard virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5.0.3
1.     Backup your existing Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
2.     Right click the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                    Click Show Package Contents
                    If there are a number of Virtual Disk files then Fusion is allocating space for the virtual machine in 2 GB segments
                    Close the Package Contents folder
3.     If the Snow Leopard virtual machine is segmented then convert it to a single Virtual Disk.vmdk as follows:
                    Start VMware Fusion
                    Select the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                    Click Settings > Hard Disk (SCSI)
                    Click the Advanced options disclosure triangle
                    Clear 'Split into 2 GB files'
                    Click Apply
                    This process will take a few minutes to complete. After the conversion is done, continue with the next step of this procedure.
4.     Start the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
5.     Start Disk Utility
                    Select Macintosh HD
                    Click Erase
                    Click Erase Free Space
                    Select Zero Out Deleted Files
                    Click Erase Free Space
                    If a message is displayed stating: "Your startup disk is almost full", click OK
          When the erasure completes, quit Disk Utility
          Shut Down the Snow Leopard virtual machine
6.     Quit VMware Fusion
7.     Right click the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                    Click Show Package Contents
                    Select the Virtual Disk.vmdk file
                    Click Edit > Copy "Virtual Disk.vmdk"
                    Select your ~/Documents/Virtual Machines folder
                    Click Edit > Paste Item
8.     Rename the "Virtual Disk.vmdk" file in your ~/Documents/Virtual Machines folder to "Original Disk.vmdk"
9.     Start Terminal
                    Change "xxxxxxxx" in the following Terminal command to your short account name.
                              "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vdiskmanager" -r "/Users/xxxxxxxx/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Original Disk.vmdk" -t 0 "/Users/xxxxxxxx/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Virtual Disk.vmdk"
                    Paste this Terminal command (including the leading and trailing quotation marks) into the Terminal window
                    Press the return (enter) key
                    After the process completes and the Terminal input prompt is displayed, quit Terminal
10.     Right click the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine
                    Click Show Package Contents
                    Right click the Virtual Disk.vmdk file and select Move to Trash
                    Move the Virtual Disk.vmdk file from your ~/Documents/Virtual Machines folder to the Mac OS X Snow Leopard package folder
                    Close the Package Contents folder
11.     Start the Mac OS X Snow Leopard virtual machine to confirm that it runs correctly
12.     Right click the "Original Disk.vmdk" file in your ~/Documents/Virtual Machines folder and select Move to Trash

So if the vendor doesn't provide an uninstall program or instructions, we're just stuck with stuff we may no longer need?
Pretty much. You can always erase your hard drive and reinstall the OS. Some people may attempt to talk you through manually deleting files. I try very hard to avoid doing that because 100% of the time, the person I'm trying to help can't find the files and, instead, starts randomly deleting required system files. Then you have no choice but to reinstall the OS.

Solaris 10 virtual machine for VMware

I've tried the "Solaris 10 OS, AMD x64 Platform - Solaris Enterprise System Virtual Machine for VMware (Solaris 10 11/06) 3.0". I've d/l the virtual appliance for vmware one can find from there : http://developers.sun.com/solaris/downloads/solaris_apps/index.jsp#vmware
I encountered 2 problems :
The first was the network (netcard) wasn't recognised at all. It's strange because the settings should be the same for every vmware virtual machines. It may be because I'm running the latest version from vmware (10.0.2). The default option was NAT, and I tried the others as well. All other systems I'm using with vmware are working correctly, including the opensolaris "Nexenta".
The second one was with the screen resolution, it was excessively huge, around 2800 x 2000. I couldn't change it in the gnome desktop (the option had no effect). I managed to change it by altering the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. The same was for the keyboard settings, I couldn't switch to azerty (french) keyboard. I had to change it in xorg.conf file.

im new to vmware too, but just wan to share my experience with you.
5.5.1 vmware workstation with vmtool installed.
- my NIC still define as pcn0, encountered packet drop network issue
- dtlogin doesn't work properly with my screen resulation, mouse work fine without pressing ctrl+alt key to get out from vmware
6.0 vmware workstation with vmtool installed.
- no more packet drop issue, especially when i ssh from pc to vmware.
- gdm fit to screen, GUI work fine.
- my shared folder working now, mount as /hgfs.

RMI and Microsoft Virtual Machine

Hi everyone,
I'm currently tring to find a solution for a migration issue to which I'm confronted.
I have several ActiveX components used in a server context to deliver services to a client.
I intend to migrate the whole to Java soon but there's a huge amount of work to do.
I would like to work on this migration progressively. For now, I would like to make a Java Swing Client running in a JRE 1.4 environment. This client is going to connect to a server running in a Microsoft Virtual Machine environment. The client is going to request some stuff to the server and the server is going to obtain the requested info by queryng an ActiveX component (via JActiveX).
The thing is that I need to do this communication with RMI but I wonder wether RMI is supported in Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine, is it ?
What would you suggest me to do ?
Thanx for any help,
Diego

I think that IBM's AlphaWorks team has programmed an API to make possible to use Applets that use RMI in InternetExplorer4 interpreted by a Microsoft Virtual Machine. But... is this supposed to allow RMI support only in IE4 or in windows in general ?

ASAP: Serial Versioning and the Microsoft Virtual Machine

Hi,
I'm writing an applet and a server that communicate via sockets using Java's serialization interface. The whole thing works fine unless I use IE (which uses Microsofts virtual machine). In the case I get an InvalidClassException with respect to my serialVersionUID. The error says that there is a versioning problem between a class calles "LHands;" which I'm guessing corresponds to my class called "Hands.class", however hardcoding the version ID in "Hands.class" doesn't fix it. My guess is that the applet is serializing the data using the MVM and the server is using Sun VM and is causing the versioning problem. Has anybody encountered anything like this before? I'm stumped, I've already lost three days on this.
Thanks in advanced,
Paul

in case anyones interested I figured it out. Do not try to serialize an array of objects if your in the the situation I described above. Its a lot of headache. Use Vectors instead

Physica to virtual migration of 4 TB disk Machine from VMware to hyper-v

Hi Team ,
I have virtual machine running on VMware with disk size of 4 TB.. 2/2 TB VMdk combined into 4 TB. since earlier VMware has 2 TB vmdk limitation. i am moving my environment from VMware 4.x to windows 2012.
i have done few p2V successfully but in this case disk are not visible on SCVMM console. Please let me know if i have any other option to migrate 4 TB machine.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ravi,
"then both 2 TB disk merged and presented as 4 TB partition to windows OS."
I assume that it is spanned volume .
After "merge" , the 4TB disk become a data disk to provide file share in the windows OS .
At this situation , my suggestion is Migrating your file server to a new VM.
As for file server migration , please refer to following link:

Virtual Machine Manager to manage Hyper-V 2012 R2 Servers

Hi,
I am trying to create an environment wherein I have few Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts, Windows Server 2012 hosts, and Windows Server 2008 hosts. All are registered to a AD server.
On Windows Server 2012 host, I have created a virtual machine on which System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 is running. This Virtual Machine Manager is perfectly able to manage Windows Server 2008 hosts.
However when tried to add Windows Server 2012 hosts and Hyper-V 2012 R2 hosts, it gives the following error:
Error (2916)
VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the agent windows2012.test.com was lost.
WinRM: URL: [http://windows2012.test.com:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [Associate], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/AgentManagement]
Unknown error (0x80338012)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the WS-Management service and the agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTPS traffic.
This problem can also be caused by WMI service crash. Ensure that KB 982293 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982293) is installed on the machine if it is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
If the error persists, reboot windows2012.test.com and then try the operation again.
Checked:
> WS-Management service is running
> VMM agent got installed
Questions:
1. Whether System Center 2012 SP1 - Virtual Machine Manager is compatible to manage Hyper-V Sever 2012 and Windows 2012 R2 Server.
2. What is the latest version of VMM to manage Hyper-V Sever 2012 and Windows 2012 R2 Server.

Hello,
I have installed VMM 2012 R2, this is also not allowing me to add and manage Server 2012 R2 hosts. However it is perfectly able to manage Server 2008 host.
It gives following error when tried to add Server 2012 R2 hosts:
Error (2916)
VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the agent windows2012.test.com was lost.

Any suggestions please?

I am also looking for jave virtual machine. I am trying to get into some sites and they are telling me to download java virtual machine, but when I go to the web site to do it, windows tells me it's not there anymore. I am using windows xp too. I called microsoft support and they advised that I use google to search for JVM for the company that now offers it. My results didn't post anything clear. I'm asking for help from any reader.

Starting virtual machine in VMware Fusion disables bluetooth

When I connect to a virtual machine (winXP), I get an error message in OSX, and the bluetooth icon greys out. I can't get bluetooth back to work unless I reboot.
Powering down the virtual machine doesn't help.
Even the bluetooth icon in system preferences is gone then, like I don't have a bluetooth anymore.
I'm on a MBP.
Any ideas?

Go to the VM Fusion forum which is where support for the product is available.
