Unable to proceed without a log file vmware что делать
Occurred for me after I upgraded from 15 to 16. Clean install does not help 🙁
indeed, this has been pestering me lately — in fresh and clean installs simultaneously on two new Windows 10 PCs. The solution was to move the Guest folder from its default location in C:\\Users\\. \\Documents\\Virtual Machines to a folder directly on C:\\. To be on the safe side, replace blank spaces in the path with undescores. Also on international versions of Windows Hosts, avoid special characters like äöü in the path to the Guest files. That did the trick for me. More generally: avoid blank spaces and special characters in your windows 10 user name as VMWare is not the only application that has a hard time dealing with those.
After fiddling with permissions and stuff on the root folder, I ended up removing the version 16 and reinstalling 15.5, downgrade my VMs and all works again as usual.

В этой теме рассматриваются проблемы, возникающие при работе с
VMware Workstation
Внимание!
Новые версии VMware Workstation предназначены для установки только на 64-битные системы!
Для установки на 32-битные системы используйте версии ниже 11!
Код:

Упс, сорри, попутал задачу, не заметил, что хост под убунтой. Собственно, в манах примерно так описывается
Несмотря на то, что я дал файлам vmdk; wmx — полные права, может им нужно еще сменить владельца на vmware?
я выполнил только chmod 777, c vmware настройками еще не разбирался, не знаю ее группу и пользователя для нее.
chown -R user:group /var/lib/vmware/vms

Unable to install all modules. See log /tmp/var/vmware-pranav/vmware-6394.log for details. (Exit code 1)
Few days ago I got kernel update from 5.13 to 5.14 in Fedora 34. I think it might be a cause which might be stopping vmmon and vmnet from updating.
VMware Workstation 16.1.2
Pressing install option will throw this error for sometime:
Failed to install module updates
This is the log which I got from /tmp/vmware-pranav/vmware-5282.log as seen in prompt message. I don't want to go back to old 5.13 kernel because it can create a lot of problems. But there might be a/many way to fix this. Does reinstalling vmware workstation helps?! Do let me know.
VMWare Error: Unable to Access a File Since It Is Locked
Very often when deleting snapshots or consolidating disks of virtual machines running on VMWare ESXi hosts, I see the “Unable to access a file since it is locked” error. This frequent issue is related to errors in a VM backup software (I came across the issue in Veeam, HPE/Micro Focus Data Protector, Veritas.) If the snapshot of the virtual disk is locked, you won’t be able to consolidate disks (when you see the error ‘ Virtual machine disks consolidation is needed ’), move a disk to another datastore using Storage vMotion, back up a VM or delete the current snapshot. Sometimes you cannot even turn on a locked virtual machine.
An error of access to a locked virtual disk file or a snapshot in VMWare may look like this:
Also, you may see this error:
The most often the “Unable to access file since it is locked” error appears when:
- Some files of a powered on virtual machine contain tags indicating that they are locked by other ESXi hosts;
- When virtual disks are added to the backup appliance and the backup session fails.
To find the source of a lock and release it, you have to identify the locked files first.
- Using an SSH client, connect to the ESXi host prompt the problem VM is registered on;
- Go to the directory with the virtual machine files: cd /vmfs/volumes/VMFS_DATASTORE_NAME/LOCKED_VM
- Look for consolidation and file locking errors in vmware.log: cat vmware.log | grep lock
- The log will contain errors like that:
The RO Owner line shows the MAC address of the ESXi host network adapter that has locked the snapshot file (the MAC address is highlighted on the screenshot). Also, note the Mode value:
- mode 1 – a read/write lock (for example, of a powered on VM);
- mode 2 – usually means that the virtual disk is locked by the backup application.
To find an ESXi server if a MAC address is known, you can use the following PowerCLI commands (convert the MAC address you got earlier to the format with colons):
Import-Module VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
connect-viserver mun-vcenter
Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | Where-Object <$_.Mac -like "d0:67:26:ae:79:00">| Format-List -Property *
The ESXi hostname will be shown in the VMHost field.
Also, you can display the ARP table directly from the ESXi host and get IP and MAC addresses of all other ESXi servers in the VMkernel network:
esxcli network ip neighbor list
To unlock a VM file, just restart the ESXi host you have found (migrate all VMs from it using VMotion in advance). If you cannot restart the host, restart the Management Agent (hostd) in the Maintenance Mode from the host’s SSH console:
Then try to consolidate disks or delete a VM snapshot again.
To fix the problem, open the settings of the VM, Veeam proxy is installed on. Remove the disk of the VM that has locked files from the VM hardware.
Make sure that you have checked “Remove from virtual machine” instead of “Remove from virtual machine and delete files from disk” otherwise you can accidentally remove your vmdk disk.
