a few virtual machines with memory of 97% comments
I have a few virtual machines that seem to be connecting their memory @ 4 GB. One is a web server, and the other is just your standard Windows2k8 server.

Yes, that is how it is designed. The memory that you assigned will be used. What happens is when you start to add ESX several virtual machines will start to share this memory and memory for each use of the VM on the host will be less over time.
This is because at the moment, your host probably has a lot of memory is free, so no need to 'share' there is enough for all the VMS.

Research of virtual machines with reservations
We have over 500 virtual machines in our group and there are at least 3 Directors who are able to create virtual machines in our environment. I need to know a way to search for virtual machines with memory or the CPU reserves. We lack vSphere 4.1. Thanks for your help.
If you have a configured cluster. by using the vi client, access your vcenter
Click on your cluster > resources tab (you can move the memory, processor and storage)

Virtual machine with a multiple split files on disk.
Hi all
I downloaded Virtual Machine in which there are 2 disk file (hard) that has been split into several files to disk (joint screen shot... filename - disk_details.jpg). Now my concern is whenever I try to turn on the virtual machine it gives an error (attached screen shot... filename - Mapr VM Error.jpg). Need your help to solve this problem. I even tried to merge all split VMDK files in a single VMDK but who haven't worked too.
5.1 ESXi
CISCO UCS server
The VM Ubuntu 64 OS.
Let me know if you need additional information.
Hello
Try converting your vmdk 'sparse' a vmdk taken in charge.
According to this KB:KB VMware: cannot power on a virtual machine with few disks mounted .
Hope It helps,
Kind regards

Create a virtual machine with the physical RAM total?
I want to virtualize ESXi 4 on my MacBook Pro. However, I have 2 GB of RAM and ESXi 4 requires a minimum of 2 GB.
I posted in the community of ESXi (is it possible to virtualize ESXi 4 with less than 2 GB of RAM?) and there is a solution for using ESXi with less RAM, but the problem is that I first need to run the installation with 2 GB.
Basically, I tried to create a virtual machine with 2 GB, but the maximum I can use is 1840MB. Is it something that I do with Fusion to increase this limit? I understand that I am under a host operating system and requiring too little RAM, but just to get through the ESXi installation isn't it possible to push the VM of RAM to 2 GB and the host what OS increase the pagefile to deal with the lack of RAM?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you
You may be able to edit the .vmx file and change the memsize option either 2048 or more. The merger is able to start a virtual machine with more memory that the host, just UI prevents common users to exceed the limits of security in general.
I'm not quite sure what would happen if the VM actually tries to use all of the memory. If all goes well, it will be just talk and run slowly. Of course, the worst case are that it crashes.

How to create a virtual machine with apps to play in VMware player?
I know that this question was probably asked several times before. I searched for the answer and just shot to the top of threads that have a few years. I know a few things have changed since then and I didn't know how that would influence the answers. I want to create a virtual machine with specific applications that will play on VMware player. What is the best way to do it and it is possible for the weak or no cost? If someone knows a tutorial or blog etc I can follow that would be great. Thank you
See the article by Alessandro on that... http://www.virtualization.info/2005/12/Guide-to-create-VMX-files-for-VMware.html

Let me know scenarios when different virtual machines with the same UUID created in VMware Hypervisors, aside from editing the .vmx file?
The only other way I've seen is when you manually copy the virtual machine to another location on the data store (or another data store) and then when turn on/off the virtual machine, select I moved, rather that I copied it (the default option). This will keep the same UUID.

How can I get the version of VMware to virtual machines with powercli officer?
How can I get the version of VMware View Agent running on a virtual machine with powercli or view Powercli?
As much as I know there is no cmdlet PowerCLI for this, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and interrogate the Win32_Product class.
By running the following. You can add a Where clause to return only the Agent of the view

Run a virtual machine with a graphical interface on a host without GUI
Hallo
I want to install a simple Windows 7 for some tasks bit where I need Windows on my server Ubuntu 14.04. This server has no GUI (no X) and should have any.
Already, I've installed the virtual Windows machine on my workstation to 12, so I would just copy the vmdk on my linux server and run it, maybe put something in the vmx file.
But I do not know is that it's all means possible.
Is it?
Is there any player or any application for ubuntu VMware when there is no X system (on ubuntu), where I can run virtual machines with GUI inside?
Maybe another virtualization tool, vmware not?
I think that this exact question already somewhere, but I haven't found much question where comments lacking a GUI, but not the host.
I need a guest-gui on a host without gui (where I have only the terminal).
So maybe it's not possible at all, so please tell me a 'no', so I won't expect more
Thank you to
Frank
EDIT: oh, this seems to be another question unanswered it is too difficult or too stupid?
Hi Frank,.
Now that would be stupid, having a text Installer, and then not allow the virtual machine to run. I think it should work, but you must pass the nogui option.
Vmrun help:
beginning
(Supported only on teams
Workstation.)
Starts a virtual machine (.vmx file) or team (file .vmtm).
The default graphical user interface option starts the machine in an interactive way,
What is necessary to display a user interface of VMware.
Nogui option suppresses the user interface,
including start-up, to allow dialog box not interactive
writing scripts.
[gui | nogui]
refer to the manual of vmrun: VIX API Documentation
Edit: hmm... Now, I see that you have already tried the nogui option. You might be able to install the package libxinerama, but he could hang out in a lot of dependencies.
FWIW, vSphere is pretty much what you describe a system not GUI to run GUI invited, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.
Unfortunately, I don't have a host linux without X installed handy here, so can't test here without the implementation of a server without head myself.
You can also try to run the client via the command vmware:

Hi gurrus and LucD
I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.
The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.
Concerning
Nauman
Try like this
$report = @)
{foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)
foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}
foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}
$report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},
@{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. Uid.Split('@') [1]. "Split(':') [0]}},"

Hi all
I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below
Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.
See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.
Time: 31/03/2015-14:40:05
Target: DBServer
vCenter Server: vcsa
Error stack
An error was received from the ESX host turning on DBServer VM.
Unable to start the virtual machine.
Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.
This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

Create a virtual machine with Maximum carrots ESXi has?
I someone told me that VMware does not support to create a virtual machine with more than 50% of the available cores has your host. For example, I have an ESXi host with 2 CPU each with 8 cores. I have therefore 16 cores on my host. I wouldn't be able to create a virtual machine with 8 cores to be supported. Even if I am able to create a virtual machine with 16 cores? Is this person crazy me
This is completely untrue, there is no such limitation. If your license allows, you can use vCPUs as much as your physical host has available threads and as the VM virtual hardware version allows.

Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.
I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.
The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")
http://www.batchworks.de/performance-difference-between-get-VM-and-get-view/ ).
$ClusterFilter = Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -Property Name -Filter @{“Name” = $ClusterName } | select -ExpandProperty MoRef
$VirtualMachines = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Config -SearchRoot $ClusterFilter
The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign. What is the correct terminology for this type of query expression / where the syntax is 'left' = 'straight' and keywords such as "-match" are not allowed.http://purple-screen.com/?Cat=3
Regular expressions with Windows PowerShell
Right in the filter expression is an RegEx expression, please allow for characters before and after the word Linux.
And the name of the OS is Config.GuestFullName.
I corrected the entries more early as well.

Create the virtual machine with the ISO mounted CDROM
Community of hell!
Working on the vmcreate.pl script to add the creation of CD-ROM with iso data store, I got stuck on the error
' Invalid device configuration: ' VirtualSCSIControllerOption.numSCSICdroms '.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, or this option but may not understand how to deliver this.
I created a cdrom as follows (below test I create any CDROM, no iso file to reduce the number of layers):
my $ BPPRR m_backing_info = VirtualCdromRemotePassthroughBackingInfo->new)
deviceName = > ' '.
exclusive = > 0,
);
my $description = description->new(label = > 'CDROM', summary = > 'cdddrom');
my $connectable = VirtualDeviceConnectInfo->new(allowGuestControl = > 1,)
connected = > 0,
startConnected = > 1,
( State = > inmates ' / ' );
my $ BPPRR m = VirtualCdrom->new(backup = > $BPPRRm_backing_info,
connectable = > $connectable,
controllerKey = > 0,
deviceInfo = > $description,
key => 1,
( unitNumber = > 1 );
VirtualDeviceConfigSpec->new(device = > $BPPRRm,
operation = > VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation->new()'add'));
Did anyone have working example to create the virtual machine with CDRom?
Andrey
If someone will find this useful I followed this route Re: vmreconfig.pl add the device CD/DVD fails if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl
and also I found good examples of what I need to in VMUtil.pm in cmd vmsphere libraries.
