I have Fusion 6.0.5
I just installed 10.10.2 and rebooted
When I came back up my suspended VM couldn't be resumed and and I also couldn't go back to snapshots because it says:
"A performance counter used by the guest is not available on the host CPU." &&
"An error occurred while restoring the CPU state from file "/Volumes/external/VMs/UbuntuDev.vmwarevm/UbuntuDev-Snapshot3.vmsn".
An error caused the restore operation to fail. Cancel the restore operation and correct the error, or discard the snapshot's state and power off. The saved snapshot will not be affected."
So how do I recover from this besides discarding my saved state? (there are only a smattering of old posts about this and it was never answered)
Also is it recoverable if I am using encryption on my VM?
This seems like a clear case of an OS update breaking Fusion, so I expect there will be a patch issued for this?
It sounds like your VM is configured to use virtual performance monitor counters, and the current operating system reserves more hardware performance counters than the previous operating system. I am not aware of any workarounds, but if your VM doesn't actually rely on the virtual performance monitor counters, it may be possible to eliminate them from the snapshots.
How can the performance counters be eliminated? I assume they can be edited out of a file somewhere, but since I never actually consciously turned them on, I don't know any way from the GUI to remove them.
It will require tweaking the .vmsn files. Can you post one of them as an attachment?
