I tried to update Fusion 4.0 to 4.1; after the update failed I could not restart Fusion. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Fusion 4.0. After reinstalling Fusion 4.0, I am able to see the suspended virtual machines, but I get the following error messages:
Unable to retrieve kernel zone sizes.
Failed to initialize monitor device.
Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to
Should delete the suspended virtual machine? Please help
Matt
Thanks for using Fusion.
To force restart a VM, you can click Virtual Machine menu, hold option key, the disabled Shut down is changed to enabled Force shutdown.
However, I would like you to restart the Mac and re-try resume the suspended vm, since any unsaved data in suspended mode will lose after force shutdown and a restart helps to avoid "Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to" problem.
Thanks Tracywang; I tried to force a restart last night by holding the option key and the menu did change to Force Shutdown, but I was not to select it. It was still shaded vs bold like the Resume option was.
I am going to shut down then restart the Mac since I have already done a restart and it did not fix the problem.
Thanks for the help. I will keep you posted.
Needed to upgrade to 4.1.3, delete the suspended virtual machine, and upgrade the VM tools.
delete the suspended virtual machine
Did you actually have to delete the whole Virtual Machine or just the .vmss Virtual Machine Suspended State File?
Sorry I just needed to delete the suspended state and the last snapshot; the virtual machine was left intact.
