Oracle Linux 6 installation FAILURE on VMWare virtual machine

I just downloaded OEL 6.0 x64, created a new VMWare virtual machine (I have many VMWare VMs running various flavors of OEL 5) and did an installation. It all seemed to work fine. I was just testing, so I didn't do any customization. It finished, and looked good, just like all the other ones I've done. I clicked "reboot", and it did. Or it tried to.
It did boot from the disk, but after about 15 seconds, it said:
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever.
I retried the installation using a fresh VM, and even let the installer check the whole DVD first. Same result.
Anyone installed OEL 6 to a virtual machine on VMWare ESX?
Any idea what the heck could be wrong?

The problem is:
The Red Hat compatible kernel includes the vmw_pvscsi driver whereas Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel doesn’t. The kernel that the installer boots first does have the drivers, which is why everything is set up fine until UEK tries to find the root volume. It's an issue we plan to address in an updated kernel.
For now the workaround is:
When creating a new VM in VSphere, do not pick Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 x86-64 as the OS type but use Oracle Linux 5 x86-64 (or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5). ESX will then expose the LSI logic scsi controller to the OS and the 2.6.32-100.28.* kernel will work.

Problem to connect to VMware virtual machine in VMM

I have a problem to connect to the VMware virtual machine console through the VMM Admin Console. I get the message "For a connection with this virtual VMware machine necessary ActiveX object is not installed. Would like you to install the VMware ActiveX element now?"
If I click "yes", IE opens. To the installation of this ActiveX element I've added the web access side of the VMware-Host to the trustworthy sites in IE. I've also disabled the strengthened security configuration for IE. But it did not help.
What can I still try?
Thx

The most common problem getting the activeX installed is that the VMware infrastructure web portal has not been setup completely. It is from that portal that the activeX is downloaded and installed. Ensure that the VMware infrastructure portal has been setup
and configured for SSL. The Url we attempt to get theactiveX from is https://HostName/ui/plugin/msie/vmware-mks.cab
Uhm, yea, that URL is invalid. Maybe it was for vCenter 3.x? or 4.0 only? Does not resolve on v4.1 :(
If you are having trouble getting the activeX installed there are a couple of workarounds. One workaround is to install the VMWare Infrastructure Client onto your machine where you are running the VMM Admin Console. The Infrastructure Client installation
installs VMWare's activeX along with its own client.
Tried that... it doesn't use ActiveX anymore (still 4.1) so no go :(
Another workaround is to login to the VMware Infrastructure Web Access portal and one time connect to a VM. This will also download and install the activeX and let it work.
Tried that... it doesn't use ActiveX anymore (still 4.1) so no go :(
So basically I need either the SCVMM guys to figure out to do this in the new version from vmware or I need some vmware experts to tell me where I can find this activex component...

I have a new iMac and I was able to transfer all files but not my VMware virtual machine. How do I do this?

I was able to migrate all my stuff from the old iMac to the new iMac but can't access my VMware virtual machine. How do I transfer it from the old to the new.

I would
1. use an ext hd or usb stick to copy them over to manually
2. transfer them manually over the network to a shared volume
never could get migrate to work at all from my old windows pc
so I ended up copying everythign

Oracle 10g IO perfomance on vmware virtual machine

Hi Friends,
I am facing perfomance issue on oracle10g 64bit, installed on rhel5.3 64bit on a vmware virtual machine because of disk IO.
While taking DB backup using netbackup I can see the datatransfer speed comes up to 100 Mbps.
But when oracle IO requests comes it is not going more than 30 Mbps.
And the CPU IO wait remains same as on both of the time. (20% to 40%)
Please help.
Regards,
Nayagan

Could you verify this behaviour outside a VMware virtual machine?
If yes, then please open an SR on Metalink to let support diagnose.
Provide an RDA, AWR snapshot if you have licensed the Diagnistic Pack - if not than provide STATSPACK snapshots.
Sorry - but this is a database upgrade forum :-)

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:
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Hyper-V-VMMS/Admin

HT3231 Migration Assistant and vmware virtual machine

I would like to use Migration Assistant to move my information from a MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air. Before I perform that, I would like to make sure I don't migrate any problems in the new machine.
How do I choose for example NOT to migrate the VMWARE virtual machine in my older MacBook Pro so that the new MacBook Air becomes lighter?
Thanks

During the setup of your MacBook, it will ask you to restore a backup, so choose the option to restore data from another Mac and follow its steps. You will be able to choose what you want to restore.
If you haven't modified anything, VMware stores virtual machines in Documents folder, so the only thing you have to do is to untick the Downloads folder and the virtual machine won't be migrated to the MacBook Air. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html
If you are going to migrate applications, it's important to check that they are compatible with Mountain Lion. PowerPC applications aren't compatible and you will be wasting space if you transfer these apps

Flash media server 3 on VMWare virtual machine

Do any one know can a FMS 3 run smoothly on a vmware virtual
machine? if yes, is there any requirement need to be aware? thanks
for any adivse.

Rather than VMWare you may want to consider a operating
system-level virtualization. I recommend OpenVZ. This has excellent
native speed performance for the guest OS. I have This system with
the host and guests all CentOS4.5, running variously FMS2, FMS3,
Red5 etc in the guests. Its super easy to start, stop, clone,
distroy the guests. the guests can be firewalled from the host. You
can set guaranteed min and max memory allocations for the guests.
You can run Linux distros as guests that differ from the
host, but you can't run non-linux guests, unlike in VMWare.
Also, the default resource allocations for the newly created
OpenVZ guests are insufficient to run FMS in, so the config file
for the guest needs to be changed.

Monitor profiling & ICC profile management in VMware virtual machines?

Greetings,
I'm successfully running Photoshop CC in Windows 7 on bare metal PCs. To support that, I profile/calibrate my monitors with Datacolor Spyder4Elite and print with Qimage. Photoshop, Spyder4, and Qimage all create and/or install ICC profiles. Does any/all of that function correctly within virtual machines hosted by VMware Workstation (v9.0.2, specifically)? Datacolor's Spyder4Elite, for example, relies upon periodic reloading of the LUT (Look-Up Table) of the graphics adapter. The other apps I mention ask Windows to use ICC profiles. Can I successfully move all of these workflow elements into virtual machines?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

No, actually the System Default stayed the same, but the ACER profile showed up in the Devices panel. However, [ ] Use My Settings was NOT checked, implying they found some way to install the profile that's outside the normal configuration settings somewhere between the Advanced and Devices level configuration.
The fix is to check the [ ] Use My Settings box, add the profile one wants to use in the Devices panel, and [Set as Default Profile]. This overrides the setting above.

Adobe X cannot print from Win 7 VMWare virtual machine

I've created several virtual machines using VMWare Workstation and VMWare fusion.
I've installed Win 7 Pro 64bit. I've installed either Office 2010 32 bit or 64 bit.
When I open any PDF file and click File Print. Adobe crashes. I get an OS error message the program has encountered an error and I can search online for a solution or close the program.
Either option results in the application closing.
Is this common? Can anyone else verify the same results?
Will this be patched or is it by design?
Thanks

Dear user,
Kindly refer to the discussion http://forums.adobe.com/thread/949886?tstart=0 and try out the workarounds provided there.
Hope this will solve your problem else provide us with some more information so that we can help you out (details like version of Adobe Reader you are using, Behaviour with other application like Notepad/Wordpad).
Thanks

OSX Leopard Server as Parallels/VMWare Virtual Machine in Snow Leopard?

I'm considering buying OSX Server to use as a virtual machine for testing purposes -- so I can run two different OSX versions at the same time on the same computer. Some questions for anyone who's done this:
1. Is it working flawlessly (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion)
2. Is it officially supported by Apple or only tolerated currently
3. If this works technically on a Mac, I'm wondering what Apple is doing to block it from working in VMWare on a PC
4. Will this be forwards compatible:
A. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on my current (Leopard-era) Mac once I upgrade that to Snow Leopard (this is my main point currently)
B. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on some new Mac I buy 3 years from now that may have something different in its firmware -- it certainly wouldn't support Leopard for a native install (this gets back to the OSX Server VM on PC question; I'm concerned about Apple needing to "support" the VM on my hardware for it to work)
5. Is Leopard the first OSX Server that can be virtualized (without hacking)
6. In general is OSX Leopard Server "the same" OS as the normal Leopard version, configured with some admin-friendly features, or distinct enough it wouldn't be fully reliable for testing purposes?
Thanks!

1. Is it working flawlessly (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion)
Yes - at least as much as any VM solution does
2. Is it officially supported by Apple or only tolerated currently
Yes, but only for Mac OS X Server 10.5
3. If this works technically on a Mac, I'm wondering what Apple is doing to block it from working in VMWare on a PC
There's a slew of technologies at work to ensure that Mac OS X runs on Apple hardware only. That's a whole different discussion. Suffice to say that it doesn't work.
4. Will this be forwards compatible:
As much as anything is...
A. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on my current (Leopard-era) Mac once I upgrade that to Snow Leopard (this is my main point currently)
Sure. Of course, this may require an update from the VM vendor to run under Snow Leopard, but you won't know that until closer to Snow Leopard's release.
B. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on some new Mac I buy 3 years from now
Hahahaha. No one is going to guarantee you three years of future compatibility on anything you buy today.
5. Is Leopard the first OSX Server that can be virtualized (without hacking)
Yes.
6. In general is OSX Leopard Server "the same" OS as the normal Leopard version, configured with some admin-friendly features, or distinct enough it wouldn't be fully reliable for testing purposes?
There are some underlying tweaks around things like network management (servers tend to have different networking needs from clients), and several extra processes that aren't in Mac OS X (client), but the underlying code base is the same. As to whether it's 'reliable for testing purposes', that depends on what it is you're testing

Firefox 3.6 doesn't work with VMWare Virtual Machine Console Plug-in but IE does. Previous versions of FF worked fine. Will this be fixed in a new FF release?

When I try to open the Virtual Machine console I get the error:
Cannot access virtual machine console. The request timed out.
I had no problem with this until Firefox did an upgrade to 3.6 and now it doesn't work and I have to use IE to open the console.
I can see lots of other people have this same problem so am wondering when it will be fixed.

Look at this blog post for some work arounds for the windows version.

Deploying driver to a vmware virtual machine.

Iam trying to deploy a KMDF sample to a virtual machine using VS 2012. I followed the instructions in the msdn page for deploying drivers to virtual machine.
A named pipe was created in virtual machine settings. I added the host pc's name in Driver->Test->Configure properties and Project Properties>Driver Install->Deployment.
I am not able to connect after pressing 'F5' at the host computer. I get these messages.
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Platforms\Win32\ImportAfter\DriverDeployment8.0.targets(69,9): error : Kernel mode drivers cannot be deployed to the local machine
1> [19:08:24:685]: Computer "excray" is not configured properly for driver testing
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Platforms\Win32\ImportAfter\DriverDeployment8.0.targets(69,9): error : Could not connect to the remote computer for deployment.
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V110\Platforms\Win32\ImportAfter\DriverDeployment8.0.targets(69,9): error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
One problem I could I see is that my host pc is on my company's domain and the virtual machine is on a workgroup that was created by default. Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Also should I add the virtual machine name or the host pc name at Driver->Test->Configure properties and Project Properties>Driver Install->Deployment. I have added the host pc name.

Okay, got it. I think automatic deployment doesnt work when VM is the target.

Any of you exchange gurus out there seen this before?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi ,
I tried a Exchange 2007 SP3 install (over Windows 2008 R2 too) with the same error code message: "Error code
3221685951. Remote procedure call"
It occurs to me:
1-The Schema master is in another site.
2-There are two ISA Servers in between but I shut down the feature "Strict RPC compliance."
Beyond that, I really don't know what to do.
