vmProtect 8 Upgrade - Acronis Applicance will no longer boot

Thread needs solution

Hi All,

Upgrade AcronisAppliance from vmprotect v8 7098 to 8184. Upgrade froze right near the end and then displayed message that it could not verify the installation. Now when I try and boot the appliance it just freezes at the Linux kernel boot stage (see attached screenshot).

I also attached the vmware.log from the appliance startup and now see the following error (towards end of file).

X86Fault_Warning: vmcore/vmm64/cpu/interp.c:427: cs:eip=0x60:0xc1024daf fault=13

I have also attempted a fresh install of vmprotect v8 8184 appliance - same issue and error.

I have also attempted a fresh install of vmprotect v9 9769 appliance - same issue and error.

I did a re-install of vmprotect v8 7098 and it runs fine.

So it appears that the Linux kernel or something has changed. I am now stuck as I cannot upgrade pass this point, unless I install the windows again, I guess.

A help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tony

Hi Tony,

It appears that the problem has to deal with the particular hardware + ESX host build (you're running ESX 4.1). I've found the following entry in the vmware.log which seems to be related:

Oct 18 22:52:33.205: vcpu-0| Vix: [4127076 vmxCommands.c:9609]: VMAutomation_HandleCLIHLTEvent. Do nothing.
Oct 18 22:52:33.205: vcpu-0| MsgHint: msg.monitorevent.halt (sent)
Oct 18 22:52:33.205: vcpu-0| The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.

There are many threads on web related to these errors. For example:

The Linux kernel version indeed was increased in vmProtect appliance and looks like the specific ESX 4.1 host build doesn't support these guest OSes.

What I can think of is to change the Guest OS type in the appliance properties from "Other Linux (32 bit)" to "Other 2.6.x Linux (32 bit)" from vSphere client. This may help to fix the problem. If not then please submit a ticket to our support team so that we can investigate the issue thoroughly.

Thank you.

Hi Vasily,

Yes I followed these and other references but did not help me.

The changing of Guest OS type did not help.

I will submit a ticket to the support team.

How did the troubleshooting with tech went for you Tony? Did you manage to figure this out?

Hi,

I managed to sort it out.
Resolution was that I upgraded my version of VMware to 5.0 and the problem was fixed.
