Hi blog!! I have ESX 3 server with HA (high availability). If the server ESX crashes my vm's are moved to another ESX server, when all my vm's moved to the new ESX server do they keep their status (power on) or their status change for example they restart. Thanks
Using Vristual Server 2003 R2 on a 2003 Ent Server. One program I run uses the MAC address for licensing. Twice I have had to Remove and Recreate to VM, and each time the MAC changes, requiring me to have to request a new license key. If I have to do this again, for for other VM, how can I...
I have installed Blackberry Enterprise Server in a VM and now am finding that I have to connect a BlackBerry device directly to the box to activate it. Unfortunately USB isn't available within the VM when I connect the BlackBerry device directly to the ESX 3.5 server. I know that you can activate...
I have an ancient piece of software that will only run on DOS/Windows 3.X It is used to program the Allen-Bradley PLCs, and read the outputs of a machine used to pressure test pipe fittings (Machine is from the early 90's). I believe the problem with more current OS's is the fact the program needs...
I installed MS Virtual PC 2007 under Windows XP Professional (Russian edition) about a week ago and everything worked fine (I installed and used several virtual machines). But now when I run the program I don't see console window of VirtualPC where I start virtual machines. I just see a...
I did follow the steps you mentioned for Hyper-V VM installation. But i get this error which says "cannot change state" after i start the VM.
Microsoft Virtual Server provides two ways for managing the priorities of virtual machines: weight-based and constraint-based resource allocation. What's different in Hyper-V?
Is response and throughput in virtual servers a lot slower than in physical servers? Has the performance overhead in virtual machines improved? Can you offer some good ways to troubleshoot performance problems in virtualized environments? Any good third-party tools for Microsoft Hyper-V yet?
We have one physical server running Xen 4.0 with 3 virtual machines (VMs): 1st VM - Appserver 1 drive capacity 50GB and used space 25GB 2nd VM - PDC 2 drives c: 20GB used out of 50GB , E: 60GB out of 200GB 3rd VM - SQLserver 2 drives c: 30GB used out of 50GB , E: 80GB out of 150GB I wanted to...
I wanted to transfer my Windows XP Home applications and setup to my MacBook running on Leopard OS. After using the free VMware Converter on my PC to create a virtual machine (VM) in an external harddisk and copying it to my MacBook, I realised something else is needed to run it. Do I need to buy...
I followed Anil Desai's step-by-step guide for Hyper-V VM installation (http://searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com/loginMembersOnly/1,289498,sid94_gci1294582,00.html), but I get this error which says "cannot change state" after I start the VM. What is wrong?
What are some of the differences between physical and virtual servers that I need to be aware of?
Server virtualization, Virtual Machines, Virtualization and hardware
Our organization is starting to deploy more virtual machines (VMs). Should we be concerned about VM sprawl? How can it be prevented?
Why does increasing the number of VCPUs beyond those of phyical CPUs lead to poor performance?
What will be the consequences if hardware failure occurs when VMs are running on a server? what will be the VM status? whether we will loose the data or not? There may be a xen-motion , but when the server crashes , what will be the status of the VM's running on that server ?
We have a need to run numerous virtual servers from a NAS/SAN. The questions is, which should we choose? THe product we support (Citrix XenServer) supports either for backend virtual system storage and can run VM's from either. Currently, our needs are small. We have about 10 virtual servers that...
Not having a spare machine I'd like to install an eval esx onVM Workstation. I am encountering a problem during install which states that it cannot find any compatible NICS. 1. Is it possible to run esx in a vm? 2. If yes, is there a workaround for the nic incompatibility?
I cannot get a NIC to work on NT4 VM. I imported from a legacy machine that needs NT4 to run software installed. I was able to import it to a VirtualMachine, but the Realtek 8139 NIC is not found so network connectivety is not working. I cannot find ANY VMware hardware in the add/remove section....
