CIFS issue fixed?

philbird — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:25:05 GMT

HI -

Do you know if the CIFS issue where you can't run a VM on a CIFS share on a network device has been fixed in RC 2?

All the best,

Phil.

Opening attachments from thinapp lotus notes and thinapp microsoft office

Jon Drake — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:12:42 GMT

I have a Lotus Notes email client built with thinapp 4.0 and microsoft office built with the same thinapp 4.0 I then used thinreg to register the apps with my xp sp2 machine and each app works fine, but when I try to open a word doc attachment from notes, ms word starts just fine, but then I get an error that says word can't find the file requested. I haven't been able to find any other posting about this and really would like some help with this.

Add Hardware Wizard just hangs

BerndWiegmann — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:08:21 GMT

I've imported two VMs created by VMWare Workstation 6 and most things work fine. The Guest operating system is Gentoo Linux running a 2.6 kernel. The Status Window show the operating system as "Other 2.6x Linux (32-bit)" which is exactly what I selected when creating the machine. The server version is 2.0 RC1.

When I now try to add new hardware using the "Add Hardware" wizard, the wizard window pops up but nothing else happens. The main screen of the wizard just shows "Loadin..." with a small static icon in front of it.

Any idea how to fix this?

Linux ISO image creation might be failing

Virtually — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:55:40 GMT

Source - Standalone VMX VMs
Target - ESXi

Description of issue:
Although converting a base SuSE 11 VM worked, a Production SuSE VM running a Web application is failing without generating a vmware-converter logfile.

Visually, it looks like the converter performs some superficial checks based largely on the VMX file, then should proceed to create an image of the VMDK file before then transferring the file to the Target machine (I assume that conversion to the target format is done while creating the initial image).

Task Progress says

Creating target virtual machine...
Cloning disk 0...
Error: Unknown error returned by VMware Converter Agent

The source VMDK has just been shrunk using vmware-vdiskmanager
The source VM boots up fine in VMware Workstation 6.5 but displays a warning that it wants to upgrade the v5.5.7 VM.

Any thoughts?

TIA.

WARNING: VM bug & SCSI disks causes file data corruption (SQL2005)!

redpay — Wed, 21 May 2008 10:08:46 GMT

There is a WMWare SR confirmed issue in VMWare Workstation 6.0.3 (and 6.0.0) and Workstation 6.5 (beta) when using virtual SCSI disks in a virtual machine that will result in disk data corruption under heavy IO load.

Apparently this does not happen if you use virtual IDE disks in the VM. SCSI disks are the VMWare recommended and default option when creating new VMs so this bug is likely to affect many people using VMWare Workstation.

As an example: Running Microsoft SQL2005 under heavy load in a VM under Workstation will result in data corruption (nicely detected by the new data validation features added to Microsoft SQL 2005!)

The data corruption can also be triggered by running SQLIOSIM.exe which is a program designed to read and write to disk files in a way that simulates SQL 2005 specifically to test IO subsystem ability to support SQL 2005. SQLIOSIM runs as a simple stand a lone application without neededing to install SQL2005 to test.

More can be read in the following topic in these forums. Also how to test this for yourself.

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/144434?tstart=0

Started a new discussion to emphasise that the problem is related to disk IO causing data corruption and not an anomily with the testing application.

Trouble with Pagemaker making PDFs in Fusion

fbx — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:24:57 GMT

I've been using Fusion 1.2.3 exclusively for months now and no problems until I recently tried making some PDF files directly from Pagemaker 7.1. THis always worked before and works fine now in Parallels, but in Fusion, Pagemaker locks up whenever I try to output a PDF file. I have to close Pagemaker and restart, and then, when trying to reload the file, Pagemaker says the file did not save correctly. I've reinstalled Pagemaker from the original disk, reapplied the upgrades from 7.0 to 7.1, removed and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro 7, and the problem persists.

Anyway, I switched to my Parallels installation and the same version of Pagemaker makes the PDF files like a bandit. No problems.

I'm wondering it anyone has encountered this problem? I'm guessing it's some kind of bad interaction between Pagemaker 7 and Fusion, though it may just be Pagemaker, because one time, after I rebooted the iMac, and ran something from a DVD, then ran Fusion again (these are all unrelated things I'm doing, I mean), well, after that sequence the Fusion install of PM made a PDF file without issue.

NfcNetTcpWrite: timed out waiting for socket to be ready (101)

chort — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:40:46 GMT

I copied the two VMs off my VMware Server2 Beta2 machine to my Mac on an external USB drive. The first one was only 2GB and I was able to use Converter to send it to my ESXi (3.5u2) host just fine, but the second image is about 15GB and keeps failing repeatedly at 2%. I've tried 3 times now. I'm running converter inside a Windows XP VM that is accessing the hosts's USB drive as a shared folder. This worked for the first VM. Is there anything I can do to make this work? The host doesn't have enough disk space to put the image on the host's built-in drive, and likewise I cannot create a big enough disk for the guest to contain the VM either...

PS How on earth are people supposed to post log files? If I use "noformat" it strips all the line breaks, and anything else displays a bunch of ugly mark-up... Arrrgh!!!

How to define authentication for remote NFS mount on ESXi server

Flingan — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:48:50 GMT

Hi !
I just installed the ESXi server for evaluation. I've been working with both the VmWare ESX and the VmWare Server versions before so that´s not a problem

My problem is that I have a NAS on my network with credentials set, and when I try to mount a NFS share from the NAS unit I am not able to enter authentication information, so I get the access denied.

Where can I define this information ?

RC2 installation turned off Fast User Switching and Use the Welcome Screen - VMGINA.DLL.

johnhc — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:39:00 GMT

After installing RC2, I noticed that my Welcome Screen and Shutdown dialog were strange looking (see here). I found that Fast User Switching and Use the Welcome Screen are turned off in User Accounts. A dialog pops up there that says an installed program has done this by installing VMGINA.DLL. This module is in the VMware Server folder in the program files folder. MS KB302346 describes how to correct this "problem". For some reason VMware has installed this DLL and registered it to replace MSGINA.DLL. I would like to have my original Welcome Screen and Shutdown dialog back but do not know if I can apply the fix and have RC2 continue to run correctly.

I hope someone can tell me why VMware has inserted this DLL and if it is OK to bypass it.

Thanks, John.
