VDI Early Access - Importing Virtual Machines

I'm playing around with the new V3 early access release of VDI. Everying is fine however I'm getting stuck at one point.
I've created the new virtual machine and moved them to /var/tmp. I've then gone to import them into the VDI host, however each time I try and do this it seems to fail straight away. There doesnt immediatly seem to be any way of checking to see why its failed.
It made the connection with the ZFS server ok, and I can transfer files between the two ok.
I've followed the instrcutions for setting up a demo to the letter of the law, including giving the host memory the necessary swap space etc.
Is there anywhere I should be looking, or can anyone give any help.

Host is a quad core Intel 6600, so is 64 bit.
The ZFS server runiing opensolaris 2008.11 with SUNWiscsi and SunWiscsitgt installed (i did this through the package manager and not the CLI as shown . The ZFS server is only a 2GHZ Pentium 4 - does the ZFS server have to be a certain spec.
I've also installed VDI aware VirtualBox package that came with V3 early release. This is on the same machine that i'm running VDI on - is this ok as I see in the instructions that it talks about moving the vdi and xml images to the host system.
I was trying to import an opensolaris VM. Does this make any difference - can it only be windows or a linux guest as I see that these are the only ones supported.
Now I know where to look for the logging I will see if its giving me any clues as to what is happening.

  • VDI Early Access  - Starting Desktops

    I'm playing around with VDI Early Release 3 trying to get it to work.
    I've set the whole thing up and now managed to import a windows XP virtual machine. I've assigned a user to the desktop, and still under the vdi webadmin page in the pool section, ive come to try and start the virtual machine and get the following errors:
    START_VB_DESKTOP
    This error seems to fail immediatly, and when clicking on this test I get the following information in the job details section:
    Registering of desktop WindowsXP Pro failed on host 192.168.0.20
    192.168.0.20 is the vdi host
    I also get a second message which reads
    Starting Desktop WindowsXP Pro
    This job seems to run for a minute before failing with the following text in the job description section:
    Error changing desktop state:com.sun.vda.service.api.ServiceException: Registering of desktop WindowsXP Pro failed on host 192.168.0.20.
    Is something that I'm doing worng ?

    Memo to self - make sure you fully read the installation instructions before posting to Forums.
    The error was generated becasue I hadnt installed the VBox Guest Tools !!
    Sorry.

  • Importing Virtual Machines

    I have a hyper-v server that got the BSOD so I reinstalled the OS and my machines were saved on another drive.  I tried to import the vms but I can't get the network connectivity going.  I created a virtual switch (VLAN 98 Port 1) but its not
    allowing me to connect to anything from the virtual machine.  Please help.  Thanks.

    NOC, I'll assume you're using Server 2012 R2 on your Hyper-V host.
    I recommend the following steps:
    - Verify your Hyper-V settings like:
    It's domain joined (you'll need that for live-migration)
    Check Hyper-V setting. Make sure your Virtual Hard Disk and Virtual Machine settings default to where you want them. Check Live-migration and storage migration settings. Make sure they match the standard set for your environment. 
    Check your Virtual Switch Manager settings. vSwitch name must match exactly the same vSwitch name on other Hyper-V hosts in your environment to allow live-migration. It's typically set as an external switch. Make sure it's connected the correct NIC from
    the drop down menu (the one with access to VLAN 98 in your case). If you want to give the parent partition access to this VLAN check the Allow Management OS.. box. If your physical switch port is configured as truck port (no VLAN 802.1q tagging) check the
    Enable VLAN ID.. box and enter the VLAN ID 98 below that. 
    - If we're talking about a handful of VMs (under 10), you can recreate them from scratch using the VHDX files. Point the VM disks to the existing disks. You don;t need any files from the old VMs except the VHD/VHDX files. Setup memory/cores/vNICs/... In
    most environments you would have this documented some where.. Assuming your physical switch port is configured as trunk port, you would VLAN tag your frames for each VM NIC. Check the Enable VLAN ID and enter the VLAN ID.
    Finally start the VM, log in with local admin credentials. The VM will have a new VNIC because of new MAC address presented by the new Hyper-V host. Enter the static IP desired, and verify communication (ping) other machines on the 98 VLAN. 
    - If we're talking about dozens or hundreds of VMs, I recommend using Powershell. Most of the scripts you'll need for this task can be found here http://superwidgets.wordpress.com/category/powershell/

  • How to access for Virtual machines in System Center 2012 r2 by remote console through code?

    Hi All,
    I am new in System Center. I am using System Center 2012 R2. I have a web application written by dot net, which shows the list of virtual machines created in the SCVMM.  Now, I need to select a Virtual Machine from the list, and click a link named "console
    access". This will allow the console access to the virtual machine. How can I perform this task?
    Thanks in advance,
    Moohak

    The SCVMM VM console is an ActiveX application.
    It is installed with the SCVMM Console application.
    If you search around for the old SCVMM Self Service portal, you will discover how MSFT originally enabled this from a web front end.
    If you look at Windows Azure Pack you will find a new pattern using RDP gateway.

  • No external network access from virtual machine

    Hello:
    I'm configuring a Windows Server 2012 Standard with Hyper-V and want to share a network card so that both the virtual machine and the host access a LAN using the same wire.
    HOST SYSTEM:
    OS: Windows Server 2012 Standard
    IP: 192.168.50.1
    VIRTUAL MACHINE: Windows XP
    IP: 192.168.50.4
    PHYSICAL SWITCH (CISCO):
    IP: 192.168.50.6
    I've configured an external virtual switch, assigned to it a physical card and activated the sharing between host and virtual machine.
    With this configuration:
    ping from HOST to VM and viceversa: OK
    ping from HOST to REAL SWITCH: OK
    ping from VM to REAL SWITCH: FAIL
    If I configure the network card to work exclusively with the VM, it can access the external switch from the VM, but I lose any connection with the host.
    I could solve the problem installing another physical card and using one for the host and one for the VM, but I can't get both working with the same card, even though they are in the same subnet, see each other, share files between VM and host... I'm not
    trying to connect to the internet.
    Any idea? Thanks.

    Hello again,
    Sorry for the delay.
    After system update, the problem has not been solved. The external switches do not limit the number of MACs, so this is not the problem either.
    After updating the system I deleted the virtual switch and created it again. I also rebooted the VM and even the server. It just doesn't share the access: only the VM or the server can access to the net at the same time, even if both see each other all the
    time (server and VM).
    Apart from that, every time I delete the virtual switch and create a new one, I reconfigure the VM as well (I delete the network card at the VM and create it again). When I do that I have to assign an IP address to the network card in the VM (no DHCP
    installed, so this is normal), but I can use the same IP I was using before deleting the virtual switch. When I do so, a message appears saying the IP is used in a virtual network adapter, but this is hidden because it is not in use anymore. I haven't found
    a way to see and delete these hidden network adapters either.
    I think I'll install VMWare, because Hyper-V is more a problem than a solution.

  • How to import a virtual machine to a Hyper-V server by programme on Windows server 2012 ?

    Hi
    As we know, Hyper-V of Windows server 2012 can support importing a VM without exporting it first manually now.
    So I try to code a programme to do it.
    I use the method "ExportVirtualSystemEx" of  "Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService". referenced by
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd379583(v=vs.85).aspx
    But the error said that "You can import a virtual machine only if you used Hyper-V to create and export it."
    Since we can import an unexported virtual machine in Hyper-V of windows server 2012 manually, so is there any API to support to do it by programme ?

    Hi vincent
    Thanks for your infomation. It is really useful for us.
    I 'd like to know How to adjust path ?
    When I use command 'import-vm' to import VM, I got the error "import-vm : Unable to import virtual machine due to configuration errors.  Please use Compare-VM to repair the virtual machine."
    I  try to fix this error referenced by
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848612.aspx
    I ran the commands as bellow :

    But this web page don't mentioned how to fix the "Virtual Hard Disk file not found" error.
    and I don't want to fix the VMNetworkAdapter issue by disconnect it.
    So could you told me how to modify the virtual hard disk file path and VMNetworkAdapter to make sure that I can import the virtual machine successfully?

    Install your client products, including the oracle client, on your host os.
    Create a tnsames file that has an entry for the database on our virtual server.
    Just like a real server, your vm must have a fixed IP address so that client processes will know how to find it.

  • Oracle 9i in a Virtual Machine

    Hello,
    I installed Oracle 9i together with win2003 into a virtual machine (MS Virtual PC). The Database is working fine. The problem is, that I can't connect to Database in sql-plus from the PC who's hosting the virtual machine.
    First it gave me the following errormessage: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (I hope the text is right, my database is in german)
    After setting oracle_sid=<sid> it gave me this one: ORA-12560: TNS: Error within Protocoladapter (freely translated ;)
    Any hint's?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Windows 8 Hyper-V - Virtual Machine Management Service failed to start the virtual machine

    I have Hyper-v running on Dell Precision T3600 with Windows 8 OS.  I am trying to start a VM (called Windows8VM) to install Windows 8 in the hyper-v virtual machine, but I keep getting the following message:
    "Windows8VM" failed to start.
    Failed to start the virtual machine "Windows8VM" because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.
    "Windows8VM" failed to start.  (Virtual machine ID D670D3BB-9AE2-0453D-9191-EA6EFC242A9C)
    The Virtual Machine Management Services failed to start the virtual machine "Windows8VM" because one of the Hyper-V components is not running.
    I have turned the hyper-v feature on in the "Turn Windows feature on or off.  The BIOS has virtualization enable.  Help!!! driving me nuts for a week now.
    Nick :(

    Okay,  I turned off hyper-v, went to bios and enabled Intel TXT(LT-SX) Configuration.  Made sure that both Virtualization and VT for Direct I/0 are on.  Next, I turned on Hyper-V and I create a brand new Virtual Machine call Windows8 and had
    the DVD point to Windows8 ISO file on hard drive.  When I clicked on start, it stayed in the Starting status mode for about 5 minutes.  Then of course it failed.  I looked at the Hyper-V-VMMS log and here is what it output:

  • CE on virtual machine

    Hi experts,
       I have installed the CE on virtual machine successfully. And i can open the page http://localhost:5000 from inside the virtual machine. Everything work fine in the virtual machine. But when i try to access the administration page from host system. It failed.
    I can't open the page http://ip:50000.  But i can use PING command to ping the virtual machine successfully. And also can open the shared folder on the virtual machine. Both the virtual system and the host system are Windows XP SP2.
    How can i access the page from hosting system? Thanks very much.
    Edited by: Chris Xu on Jul 29, 2009 9:30 AM

    Hi Chris!
    Maybe, you have to configure the Windows XP firewall of your virtual machine in that way that it allows for accessing the virtual machine on port 50000.

  • Windows 10 Technical Preview - There is NO "Hyper-v Virtual Machine Management" service???

    hi all,
    There's no such Windows Topic as "WTP Virtualization", so I post this thread here, a somewhat "VIRTULIZATION" related.
    I installed WTP (not server) x64 enterprise 9879, and added "Hyper-v Management" feature (management only, without Hyper-v core) in Control Panel. Then I found that there was no "Hyper-v
    Virtual Machine Management" in Services panel, and there was no such file "c:\windows\system32\vmms.exe". Therefore I cannot connect to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-v through WTP Hyper-v Manager.
    I confirm the reason is what I state above. Firewall rules are properly configured on both Hyper-v server and WTP. I also used hvxxxx.wsf to configre anondcom to be "allow". When
    I connect WS 2012 R2 through WTP, Hyper-v manager on WTP says "Please confirm VMMS server is running".
    Is it a bug, or lack of implementation, or restriction of preview edition?
    Any suggestion is appreciated! Thanks!

  • Virtual machine performance data

    Hi,
    I have a cloud service in our lab environment. In that , i have one virtual machine and one web role. When i access that Virtual machine from azure console, i would see the dashboard and monitor tab. In that page, when i access that monitor tab , have measures
    like grpah for cpu, memory, disk and network related metrics (attached screenshot1). I want to know
    1) where or which location these data's are stored. How these data's are displayed in graph..
    2) I am using the below link (REST API) to collect these details. But i didnt get the last five min data

    Hi;
    Thank you for your post.
    The data is stored in an Counter (Internal Data Base Table). The display works very similarly to what you would see on a OS resource monitor.
    The data is refreshed every 5 min hence you might have noticed a lag.

  • Licensing for Windows Virtual Desktops (VDI) - do I need Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses?

    Hello.  I am trying to figure out what type of licenses I need to achieve the following:
    - Windows Server 2008 R2 running Hyper-V
    - 25 virtual desktop on Hyper-V running Windows 7 Professional
    Do I need a "full" license of Windows 7 Professional for each virtual machine, AND another license (let's say maybe Windows 7 Starter) running on the actual PC's that the users will be using?
    I came across this article regarding Virtual Desktop Access licenses, do I need that?  Or would I be fine just purchasing 1 copy of Windows 7 for each PC?  In that case should I choose Starter or Professional?  The desktop PC's that users
    are using are older Pentium 4's so I wanted to keep the load on them minimal.
