JumpBox on new Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux

Hi all,
I've been using JumpBoxs for some time now on following platform;
Windows Vista Business (x86) with Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows & Linux.

I've just upgraded my system to the following;
Windows 7 Professional (x64) and Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux.

This new version of the Parallels virtualisation software was released just a couple of months ago, just in time for Windows 7, which is fully supported as both the host and guest OS.

I basically use the Joomla 1.5 JumpBox, which was running fine in on Parallels Workstation 2.2, JumpBox providing native virtual disks, & config file, for that system.

Unfortunately on the new system, Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux, there seems to be some problems. This new version of the Parallels Virual Machine uses a different format of virtual disks, & config file, than the previous version. On opening a Workstation 2.2 virtual machine, there is an option to convert this older format system to the new format, which I have tried, but I am unable to get the Joomla15 JumpBox to boot up. Parallels reports that it has sucessfully converted the virtual disks and the virtual machine configuration file, but when I try to boot the resulting virual machine it fails.

The boot gets past the initialisation of the memory (BIOS config), but then just stops, there is no attempt to boot from the root virtual drive and you only see a black screen with no activity. I have tried this with both my previously working Joomla15 Jumpbox and also a previously downloaded blank Joomla15 JumpBox from this website. The JumpBox version for both these was v1.1.14

I have tried to look for tips and suggestions on the JumpBox Wiki, but can't find any help there. What would seem like the most useful link;
http://wiki.jumpbox.com/doc/virtualization/parallels/desktop_4
titled:
How can I run a JumpBox on Parallels Desktop 4 for Mac?

has absolutely no information on it at all. It's just a blank page with the above mentioned title!

My understanding is that the Virtual Machine Config and Virtual Disk Formats are now identical for both Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux and Parallels Desktop 4 (& the new version 5) for Mac OSX. I am wondering therefore whether the JumpBox people are considering updating their Parallels support to include providing Virtual Disks and Config files in the new (version 4 & 5) formats? This would seem, to me, like an obvious step forward.

Any advice on sorting this out would also be most welcome, as at present I am unable to run my Joomla develpment JumpBoxs!

Yours faithfully, and in hope of some help,

Jonathan R. Portwood.

I have a solution

When it converts to the new format it only coverts the root disk and not the data disk. Convert the data disk VHD and delete the old one.

Do not use the pre-configured config. Create a new Linux Ubuntu VM and add both the hdd files manually. Also set the memory to 512 instead of the standard 256. This will get it to boot!

Hope this helps,

Nick

PS:
Yes Austin, it does fail after a fresh copy.

JumpBox on new Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux

Hello Nick,
Thanks for the feedback. You say:

When it converts to the new format it only coverts the root disk and not the data disk. Convert the data disk VHD and delete the old one.

Which is a drag, because the mac version uses the existing config file to find all necessary disks, and converts them correctly.

Austin

Indeed it is a shame....

I am not sure if this is an issue between the PC Parallels versions or if it is something Microsoft is doing wrong. I would like to note Windows users may have to run the transporter program using the "run as administrator" command which was is not set by default. For those of us on the windows platform - Copying the config files back to the newly converted hdd file directory may work. You may be able to convert an old data disk copy. I did not try this since I am new to Joomla.

BTW: when I was saying delete the old one I mean delete the leftovers from the newly extracted files. Not an old working data hdd.

I did try running newly extracted config files by setting the run as admin command but this also failed.

Good to know it works on Mac. Wish I had one right about now just to play with :). To bad most Mac's don't have VT in their CPU's.

Off topic:
It seem to work out of box when using windows VPC, and MS finally made an update which will allow VPC to run without VT...good for those stuck with most Intel core 2 duo's; its about time MS. But who would want to use VPC when you paid for Parallels!

JumpBox on new Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux

Did you try unzipping a fresh JumpBox and starting it in Parallels 4? I have used Parallels 4 on Mac since its release without trouble. I don't know that the virtual machines are trivially portable across parallels versions like you are trying.

If you are able to get a fresh one working, then you should try using the JumpBox backup and restore. See the backup and restore FAQs here:

http://wiki.jumpbox.com/doc/runtime#Backup_.2F_Upgrade

Please let me know if you discover that a fresh JumpBox fails on Parallels 4 for and host OS.

Jumpbox for Joomla 1.5 on Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows

Hi all,
Sorry for not getting back sooner. I've not been well and wasn't able to continue working on this issue for sometime.

Just got back to it, and started with a freshly downloaded Jumpbox for Joomla 1.5 (specifically joomla15-1.1.15.zip) from this site. The exact same thing happened as before the VM is converted OK, along with both disk images (root & data), but on booting the initial VM BIOS screen appears and then it seems to go off and start booting but then just sits with no activity. The only option is to force the VM to shut down.
What I have found is a virtual machine log file, in same folder as the configuration file for the VM. The following is an extract from this log file:

The significant thing seems to be the Panic Error that is continually generated from a certain point in the boot process, until the VM is forced to shut down manually. I've removed many of the repeated Panic Error entries. Being fairly new to Linux, Jumpbox & Joomla, I've no idea what this Panic Error indicates, or how to resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

By the way I'm running the latest version of the Parallels Desktop 4 for Windows & Linux (v4.0.6630) on Windows 7 Professional x64. This is on a Dell Vostro 1700 notebook with an Intel Core2Duo Processor (T9300 @ 2.50GHz) with Intel VT-x Hardware Virtualization enabled. There is 4Gb RAM and an nVidia GeForce 8600M-GT graphics adaptor with 256Mb Video RAM.

Thanks in advance for any further advice.

Jonathan.

Thank you for this feedback. We have put this on our TODO list, though it might be a bit of time before we can get to testing this particular virtualization combination.
