100 + VMs between Intel and AMD mobile

And here I thought it was easy.

Objective:

  1. (1) move 100 + virtual machines from one Cluster to another

  2. (2) change the network uses the prompt

  3. (3) move must be quick

Prerequisites:

  1. (1) what former LUN Cluster are visible new Cluster

  2. (2) appropriate VLAN is available

  3. (3) ensure that tools are running

VMotion is not an option, a stop and start is required.  I implemented the simple script according to the comments of the judgment; expect that the machine is not running and do a Move-VM and Start-VM.

Script:

$vms = Import-CSVC:\Scripts\PowerCLI\CSmoveInput.csv

{foreach ($vm to $vms)

$VMdestination = Get-VMHost $vm.tVMhost

$Network = $vm.tVLAN

Get-VM -Name $vm.name | Get-NetworkAdapter | Network card set -StartConnected: $true -confirm: NetworkName - $Network $false

Shutdown-VMGuest VM - $vm.name -confirm: $false

While (Get-VMGuest $vm.name |) où {$_. State - eq "Running"})

{

echo "The machine is still underway"

Sleep -Seconds 3

}

Write-Host $vm.name is disabled

Move-VM VM - $vm.name -Destination$VMdestination

Start-VM VM - $vm.name

}

Most of the time it works fine, but too often, I get "the operation is not allowed in the current state."

Is there a better way to ensure that the virtual machine is turned OFF?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Robert

You can try the While loop like this

$vms = Import-CSVC:\Scripts\PowerCLI\CSmoveInput.csv

foreach ($vm in $vms){

      $VMdestination = Get-VMHost $vm.tVMhost

      $Network = $vm.tVLAN

      Get-VM -Name $vm.name | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -StartConnected:$true -Confirm:$false -NetworkName $Network
      Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $vm.name -Confirm:$false
      while ((Get-VM $vm.name).PowerState -ne "PoweredOff")

            {

            echo "Machine is Still Running"
            Sleep -Seconds 3
            }

      Write-Host $vm.name is off
      Move-VM -vm $vm.name -Destination$VMdestination
      Start-VM -vm $vm.name

}

State property returned by the Get-VMGuest cmdlet returns the status of the VMware tools on the guest.

  • vMotion between Intel and AMD

    Hi all

    I have read many sites mentioned my question but I'm a little confused, so I want to ask here if someone can help me.

    I have a test lab with a ML350 G6 (with qnap 439 pro II iscsi), now I have another server and I want to do a few tests/Labs. But the problem is that the new server is a microserver HP with AMD processor. With HA activated when I try to vMotion virtual machine, I get errors on the incompatibility of the CPU. So, how to get around the CPUiD mask? I tried with the maskering official vmware KB the RDTSCP and CMPXCH16B, but it does not work.

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem? Or should I only use a cold migration?

    A big thank you to all and have a nice day

    Luke

    In fact, I know that I must or "must" use cold migration.

    Hello

    You use cold migration :-) no reverse

    But there is also an official KB of vwmare http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1993 saying and explaining how to hide and mask id CPU of derivation.

    As has been said in the previous answer, you have to have a CPU with the same provider, regardless of if you want to create the CVS base or masking of CPU by VM

  • Satellite L50-B-23f - switching between Intel and ATI GPU

    Hello

    Bought this laptop a week ago and I must say that I am very happy with it, but I would change the graphical display of 5500 to Intel(r) HD Graphics integrated with that of the AMD Radeon R7 M260.

    I brought by the device manager that makes two graphics cards are enabled and working properly. I also watched the AMD Catalyst Control Center, but I still can't understand how to accomplish the transition to AMD graphics display.

    I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction in order to complete the process of switching.

    Thank you very much

    Jack Straw

    Hello

    The GPU from Intel is a part of the CPU and will be used to secure the power.
    It will be used in case the graphics software requirements are low.

    Of course it can be changed manually.
    You can assign the application that needs to use the ATI GPU.

    To switch to the external GPU, right click on the desktop
    In Catalyst Control Center Power, click on select Maximum Performance when it is plugged

    Then in global settings of Switchable Graphics also choose maximize Performance

    Then click on the switchable graphics Application settings
    Now, you would be able to add an app (game) that could use this graphics card settings
    Simply tap the exe of the game and add to the list of applications.
    After that, you will see the exe file in the list. Click the graphics settings and set it to high performance.

    But beware: best performance GPU produces more heat, which leads to a higher internal temperature.

  • A clustrer function of Intel and AMD mixed server ESXi does

    I have a HP DL380p G8 which has 2 intel xeon CPUs (8 cores) and another HP DL385 G7 server with 1 CPU AMD Opteron 6134 (8 cores). Not now take place ESXi. We plan virtualization. Based on the VMware compatibility guide, two of these servers are ESXi 5.x supported. Although he said that the DL385 G7 needs 2 CPUs. Is this correct?

    We do not have a lot of servers and according to virtualize, three ESXi servers be enough. Can I get an another DL380p of the G8 and have a cluster of two servers Intel ESXi based and a base of AMD server or all three servers should I run the same processor/vendor?

    Thank you.

    A.

    Cluster of features such as vMotion (live migration) require processors from the same provider, supporting a common mode of EVC.

    Where did you read that the AMD need hosts two processors? Currently I'm not aware of such a requirement.

    A VCA active cluster only allows processors to a single supplier in the

  • How to switch between Intel and ATI GPU on Satellite L50 - B

    Hello

    I bought a L50 - B - 1LR PSKTAE Satellite.
    Is there a graphics card Intel on the motherboard, but also a second for better 3D AMD Radeon.
    Now, I plugged on a second screen on the HDMI output, but still using the Intel graphics card.
    How can I change this?

    I made a button in the radeon software which says that when I start the sketchup program that he would take the graphics card from AMD. But it's still the Intel graphics adapter.

  • Biometric USB peripheral input and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 series

    First, in the Device Manager, in biometric devices, USB biometric Input Device does not!

    The poster message in properties, general tab is

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    {Operation failed}
    The requested operation failed.

    Second issue is with my adapters display, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20) that does not work too!

    I also have the same message

    This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    {Operation failed}
    The requested operation failed.

    Any ideas?

    It seems that this system has not been certified for Windows 8 basic still on the list of drivers .

    The graphics driver is going to be the most important issue due to the switchable graphics, it seems to use (Intel and AMD). Due to the switchable graphics, a pilot out of HP will be the only way to get the switchable graphics to work really the same as it did before Windows 8 due to differences in driver architecture.

    You can try to install the driver Validity Sensor and SimplePass software, but I know that this does not work on my system which is in the same category as your system when it comes to Windows 8.

    Maybe the best solution is to return to the old operating system with a recovery until there are drivers of Windows 8 (I don't know if or when this will happen). I'm sorry.

  • What are the differences between RT and Win 8 Pro?

    RT

    What are the differences between RT and Win 8 Pro?

    Windows 8 - this runs on processors traditional x 86 - x 64 for Intel and AMD, and the same apps that runs on Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP.

    Windows RT - built on the same basis as Windows 8, it works on a different processor called ARM and not running programs in Windows 7, Vista, or Windows XP. In addition, it comes with Microsoft Office 2013 while Windows 8 does not work. It only comes on the new devices, in contrast to Windows 8 you can buy a license for an existing computer.

  • Maybe a stupid question move VMs from Intel for servers based on AMD and Vice Versa as regards

    I saw wrescie of documentation related to the limitation of the fast vMotioning of VMs between host running different platforms CPU... but nothing (so far) that deal directly with the mobile (cold, firm VMs) VMs 1 host with one type of processor to another... again, while the guest virtual computer is stopped.

    Reason for the request is that we want to buy some cheap MicroServer for ESXi Lab Use AMD-based, but hopes to move virtual machines from / to them and of / to our production based on Intel Xeon platforms.  in this case, vMotion, isn't a matter of concern.

    RHEL 5 + have all the problems, but RHEL 4 may have some problems. Check out this KB: KB 1909.

    It really depends on if the distribution has any installation of the specificities for AMD or Intel. Nowadays, most are generic, unless you customize them.

    Hello

    The Intel graphics chip, which is part of the central unit should be used for low performance applications, because it allows you to save energy and reduce the internal temperature.

    For best performance while game, it s advisable to use the external GPU (nVidia or AMD)
    This setting can be changed in the nVidia control panel s

    Here, you should choose manage them 3D settings (can be found on the left in the nVidia control panel)

    Now in the main window, you will find two global settings and program parameters tabs
    In the program settings tab, select the (game) program that needs to use the nVIdia GPU

    If it is not listed, click the Add button
    Then choose the graphic processor preferred for this program (generally must be nVidia processor high performance)

    Last but no less, in this program-specific settings, you can assign additional features to improve performance.

  • Windows.exe gobbling up memory and CPU often CPU ranges between 50 and 100%.

    Hello

    My PC recently turned very, very slowly and often unresponsive.  When I bring up the Task Manager, on the processes tab, I see that Windows.exe uses as much as 1 million K of memory and often the CPU ranges between 50 and 100%.  What is happening while no application works.  I have also noticed that in the Task Manager, there are two processes with the name of the image of windows.exe and consuming all the power and memory has no user name.  When I try to end the process on this one it still won't let me and a message appears saying that I don't have permission to do this, or something to that effect.  I am however able to stop other processes including the windows.exe with my username process.  The cases where it allows me to stop the process, performance improves, but given a little time, again with nothing running, it starts again. Thinking it was a virus, I missed the live update on Norton and performed a full scan, but nothing found.   I also tried Windows defender, but in vain.  Any help on this problem is greatly appreciated.
