a virtual machine can be created in esxi5.5 in the VM necessary esxi4.0 files?

That is to say of the hard, .vmx files or do you need to use the vmware converter for example?

Thank you

Michael

Hello Michael,

If all the virtual computer files are present in the data store, and this data store is also available to 5.5 ESXi host, then you can just click with the right button on the .vmx file and add to the inventory and choose the host ESXi 5.5.

VMware converter is used to perform a v2v conversion, which is also possible. However, the above step is much easier.

  • Created in Esxi virtual MACHINE can't see the network

    Hello

    I installed Esxi 5.5 and I have no problem to access and create a virtual machine.

    However, the virtual machine, which is 2012 Windows, does not begin with a network adapter.

    When I check the configuration of the VM, the network adapter is connected, turned on, E1000E but says directpath e/s is not supported. I don't have VMware tools installed in the virtual machine.

    I don't understand where the problem lies. I connect to Esxi ok. I can run the virtual machine in Esxi client ok, but the images says that there is no network.

    I created the VM Windows before 2012, outside of Esxi and the network built in card is detected ok.

    STOP PRESS - in computer management Windows, peripheral, the Ethernet controller is not recognized. So, how can I get the virtual machine to recognize when it is running in ESXI?

    Help?

    Thank you

    Jason

    Also can you check with adapter VMXNET or tru uninstalling and reinstalling VMware tools.

  • Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

    I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

    Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

    Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

  • Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

    Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

    # #SCRIPT_START

    $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

    $Import = import-csv $file

    $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

    $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

    $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

    $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

    Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

    Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

    # #SCRIPT_END

    You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

    An example of this cmdley

    New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

    In your case, you could do

    Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

    But beware of negative numbers.

  • Statement on the date of a virtual machine has been created

    Is it possible to report on the date on which a virtual machine was created?  This info is stored anywhere with the virtual machine?  Otherwise, he'll find newspapers in VMware Server to say how many virtual machines have been created last year?

    Thank you

    The Get-VIEvent cmdlet gets its information from the database of vCenter. To be more precise in the VPX_EVENT table. You can only return in time with respect to the first record in this table. To retrieve this date, you can use the following code:

    $eventMgr = Get-View EventManager
    $filter = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventFilterSpec
    $eventCollector = Get-View ($eventMgr.CreateCollectorForEvents($filter))
    $eventCollector.RewindCollector | Out-Null
    $eventCollection = $eventCollector.ReadNextEvents(1)
    $eventCollection[0].createdTime
    $eventCollector.DestroyCollector()
    

    The downside to the use of the Get-VIEvent cmdlet is that you must specify the number of records to be returned (100 by default) with the - MaxSamples parameter, and all these records are retrieved from the database. If you find events and you don't have a period, you must provide enough samples to include yours, and it can last forever. The event table can grow very large. In my environment, there are 8 million + records in this table.

    For the search of the database of events, I prefer to use the SDK instead of the Get-VIEvent cmdlet. That way I can start research until my records are found, and I can use specific filters to retrieve only the records that are of interest. I also pick up only as many records of the database if necessary. You can search the crΘation from a virtual computer by using the code below:

    $vm = Get-VM "myVM"
    
    $eventNumber = 100
    $eventMgr = Get-View EventManager
    
    $filter = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventFilterSpec
    $filter.Entity = New-Object VMware.Vim.EventFilterSpecByEntity
    $filter.Entity.Entity = $vm.ExtensionData.MoRef
    $filter.EventTypeId = "vim.event.VmCreatedEvent","vim.event.VmClonedEvent","vim.event.VmDeployedEvent"
    
    $eventCollector = Get-View ($eventMgr.CreateCollectorForEvents($filter))
    $eventCollector.RewindCollector | Out-Null
    $eventCollection = $eventCollector.ReadNextEvents($eventNumber)
    $matches=@()
    While ($eventCollection) {
      $matches += $eventCollection
      $eventCollection = $eventCollector.ReadNextEvents($eventNumber)
    }
    $eventCollector.DestroyCollector()
    $matches
    

    See you soon,.

  • Multiple virtual machines can share a common hard

    I just confirmed that multiple virtual machines can share a hard if they all see it as non-permanent, which is great if you want to experiment with different linux packages at the same time.

    Except the hard. REDO_ * files that are produced by a virtual machine are removed when you turn it off, and all the work is lost.

    Any ideas how I could prevent the hard. REDO_ * files deleted?

    the non-persistent flag is to capture instant temporary vmdk is ignored when the virtual machine is turned off.

    The vmdk. REDO_ file is actually a type of snapshot. If you want to avoid that it gets deleted turned off the power, you must use a regular snapshot - but then your sharing of this vmdk with other virtual machines will no longer work.

    For your scenario of I don't know one solution stable AND well other than the use of network shares.

    There is a hack to really share VMDK between two virtual machines, but is more stable.

    Another solution may be that share this drive via iSCSI acrooss your machines virtual more.

    Some time ago I tried to interrupt the process of vmware-vmx.exe seconds before turning off the virtual machine and then copy the REDO far so that I can use it again... but if I remember right the next time that you start the virtual computer will be created a new REDO log and it is so pretty useless :-(

  • Basic QS:-a virtual machine can share the memory of the 2 hosts?

    Hello

    I am very new to VMWare ESX, but looking at the docs, it seems that there is a possibility to create pools of resources by consolidating physical ESX Server hardware.

    However, it is not clear if a SINGLE virtual machine can run on multiple physical hosts?

    I have 2 physical servers:-each with 4 GB of RAM in a single pool of resources.

    Can I then run a virtual machine and assign it 8 GB? (and actually use up to 7 GB?)

    I'm güssing it is not possible to do...

    No, a guest can run on two physical hosts at the same time. It cannot use the resources provided by an ESX host.

    Resource with Betclic let you group all the resources of all ESX servers with this pool.

    Let's say you have two ESX servers with 3.6 GHz each. So your pool has 7.2 GHz available for its guests in this pool. However, this isn't a contignous resource, it is cut in two on two ESX hosts.

    Also, if you can, do not use resource pools. He must know exactly what you're doing, and it is a good source to make worse things running.

    The best resource on hand programmer is ESX itself. If you have a license to DRS use. According to our experience, it is very good by spreading the load on your ESX farm. If you want to set restrictions to the guests I would level comments.

  • NLB - two virtual machines can't ping eachother when on separate hosts

    Greetings,

    I've been running some tests with NLB on the different desks as recommended here:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1006558 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912404 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454115

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1006778 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912404 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454115

    I found that Unicast works better in our network environment, but it is still a problem:

    In http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1006580 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912690 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454807

    He says: "since all hosts in the cluster have the same IP Address and the same MAC address, there is no communication possible inter-hote between the hosts configured in unicast mode.» A second NETWORK adapter is required for any other host communication. »

    However, even with a second NETWORK adapter the virtual machines cannot ping eachother when they are on a different esx host. When they are on the same host esx virtual machines can ping each other. Also, when they are on different hosts, so that a virtual machine cannot reach each other on their dedicated IP address, virtual machines can reach other when ping the second card NETWORK (the one without an informed gateway).

    For example, the next 2 guests are connected unicast:

    VM1 has 2 network cards, NIC1 = 172.18.18.41 with gateway (dedicated IP) and NIC2 = 172.18.18.43 without gateway / WLBS enabled.

    VM2 has 2 network cards, NIC1 = 172.18.18.42 with gateway (dedicated IP) and NIC2 = 172.18.18.44 without gateway / WLBS enabled.

    When on the same ESX host VM1 can reach VM2 on 172.18.18.42 and 172.18.18.44, and vice versa.

    When on ESX different hosts VM1 cannot reach VM2 on 172.18.18.42 but it can reach VM2 thanks 172.18.18.44. In this case VM2 cannot reach VM1 on 172.18.18.41 but can reach VM1 on 172.18.18.43.

    I followed and applied the settings recommended in this article: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 1556 & sliceId = 1 & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & dialogID = 42912404 & StateID = 0% 200% 2041454115

    I even tried the kb from microsoft as shown here: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/898867 even if the virtual machines have 2 network cards, but of course that did not help either.

    Does anyone have an idea what is happening here?

    The fact that it works on the same host, but not on different hosts type advanced to a network within VMware issue.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bram

    It seems that ir can be a problem of IP routing, even with the hosts on the same subnet.  Make sure that your routing table that traffic on each that is to/from your mgmt that ips turns off your local management interface.  If it isn't, then update your routing table in order to.

    Or, you could try setting up your mgmt network cards on a different subnet from your IP NLB.  I suspect that this will solve the problem.

    Welcome to the forums!

    Convert it to a virtual machine (right click on guest and choose the appropriateoption), move it through the migration feature (right-click Guest, and then choose "Migrate") and convert into a model (right click on guest again and choose to convert to a template).

  • Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

    I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

    We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

    Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

    ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

    After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.
