• Activation of CBT for all ESX virtual machines?

  Hello

  This favourable CBT for all of the Virtual Machine that is managed by my Virtual Center is a good idea or not supposed to be due to General files CBT?

  I have to restart all virtual machine once I activate the option of CBT manually one by one but the vSphere Console modify settings for each virtual computer?

  Your help and your help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Avamar, not sure but I am sure that it provides an option to activate the CBT. NetWorker offers a script to activate the CBT. However, IIRC there is a problem with the file level restore when using CBT with version 7.6.

• 10-key Windows product exactly the same for all my virtual machines?

  I have a dozen of VMS I thought I should go to WIN10 and then continue to use as WIN7/WIN8 until I have enough time to deal with possible issues. I have the latest version of everything (less than a week old 12.x).

  Problem is, I get the same product key for machines that are totally different (all on the same host, however). Product ID Windows (!) stands, MAC is different, is different from the amount of memory, 32/64-bit is different... I even created a new virtual machine from scratch with a product key, I have never really used before... and the product key for WIN10 is the same as for everything else. HUH?

  Yes, I thought that my method to get the product key is bad, but when a virtual machine is created from scratch, there is no way that vm could 'know' anything a VM I just deleted.

  I thought it might be I use NAT for all virtual machines and it would affect anything, but as they have different MAC that would be foolish. So I would not be able to update one of my basic machinery is .

  Summer try a lot of things during this time to understand, like making a copy, by selecting "I copied it" but once I went to the deepest that create a new virtual machine and always get the same product key I have to say I am confused.

  Maybe I do not understand how Microsoft does these days. Maybe a different product id and a different product key = another activation and I would have no problem. I want to test it with 10 + vm that could start the Microsoft Genuine tests to fail, and all of a sudden I have to rebuild my entire network or sit in the management of queues for a week? Not really.

  If I understand Windows 10 facilities that are updated to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 the activaion is a digital entitlement which is linked to a unique material ID online in the Windows store. The generic product key is only for compatibility with things that do not include digital rights.

  Wwhat you see with the same generic product key in each installation is normal behavior for upgrades of Windows 10.

• the back and are not virtual machines running on Isilon

  Hello vExperts.

  Could someone please share the details of the back and to not execution of virtual machines on EMC Isilon...

  We have a problem of IOPS / serious storage s, don't have just enough time zones and no money in the budget for more, but we have an Isilon with certain capabilities, I don't have all the details in front of me that I write this message about what nodes and others look like but soon as I have them I will add them in the post.

  For now, if someone wants to throw me some knowledge around deployment of virtual machines on Isilon before blindly go us in that direction that would be great

  Thanks for you input in advance!

  In short: not to run virtual machines on Isilon.  Been there, done that, didn't like it much at all.  You will cause you grief.

  We tried with KVM and ESXi and neither works well. EMC has tried to run, but even their its saying not to.

  I love Isilon but not not for hosting virtual machines.

• Install a VSA on the esxi who already has virtual machine running host

  I have install VSA if my esxi has already running virtual machine host, I read some post saying that before the VSA, the esxi Server installation must be clean without any host virtual machine created, is - it true?

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...

• Virtual machines, run extremely slow when the console is consulted 2 virtual machines Windows Server 2008 64-bit, Windows Server 2003 32-bit, 2 VMWare for virtual machine

  I'm in a difficult situtaition here.  I am the daily contact with a new client.  My linux guy, who is also my boss who is very busy, asked me to do some research trying to find answers for what's not on this server. We have a dual Quad Core 2.5 Ghz Lenovo server with 10 GB of ram.  2 500 GB hard drives are Raid 1.  We run Virtual Server VMWare 2 on a Debian with Gnome installation as a user interface for the side of things Linux.  Grub is the boot loader. There are two virtual machines running on the server.  The one machine that serves as a domain controller is a Windows SBS 2008 Server 64 bit, and the secondary machine has no responsibility domain.  The second machine is a Windows Server 2003 32-bit.  the 10 GB of ram 6 GB is allocated to the SBS server and 4 GB to the 2003 server.

  The problem I am running into is that everything is so slow, especially if I connect remotely to do any sort of administration on the network.  Some examples of issues I've noticed is that as soon as I log on the server via Remote Desktop SBS console management Windows Server spike to 80-95% CPU usage and it will not stop unless I close the management console.  Another instance is that if I open Backup Exec 12.5 on the SBS server it will kill the speed of the processor as well.  Long story short, there are a lot of machine to do what we need to do, but something is not configured right and non of us know what it is.  Another point to note is that the server has been in production for about 3 weeks, and the server seemed to have locked up just twice.  My professional guess is that over time, some chose thing is eating causing the crash of the memory.

  Sorry I do not have much technical insight on this topic, but this is the best I have to offer.  Any questions you all have, I'll ask my people and see if I can answer, but I could really use your help here.

  Thank you in advance,

  Heath

  2 things:

  1 you really need hard drives more than 2 in a RAID 1 for proper performance under load. More disks the better. Although I don't think that's what your problem is, he'll probably be the problem Next you will do.

  2. I don't know exactly where the configuration file is on your box of Debian for VMware Server, but you should consider adding the following options in the configuration file (on windows, it's the vmware 'config.ini'):

  prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

  MemTrimRate = 0

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE".

  If you do some research, you can read about what these options (the largest is the memory page sharing - it should only be left on if you have a bunch of similar virtual machines running on the same box, that you don't have.) I honestly know why this is on by default, he kills the CPU when virtual machines are running different operating systems). These are the options that I now use standard in VMware Server deployments, with huge performance increases after you have added the. Just give a try.

  Edit: Also make sure that you have installed in your virtual machines VMware tools.

• This Win7 on Amazon works for a new virtual machine?

  Hi all

  I would get a virtual machine running Windows 7 (on El Capitan).  What is the right type of product/OS that I can use?

  http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B00H09BB16/ (it says "for System Builders"(?))

  (Ideally, I would like to clone the virtual machine and install the clone Windows 10 - via the free update of Microsoft - I have two Win7 & Win10 VMs (even if I can't run both at the same time) I saw 10 Windows and VMware Fusion - mikeroySoft.com so it seems that it should be possible.)  Any comments?)

  TIA,

  -Joel

  Quite possible. "For system builders' means simply that it is an OEM copy, so that he might have a 1-installation limitation, and it comes in a bag rather than a nice retail box.

  If you use the Fusion Pro, you can use the Clone function to create your VM Win10 based on the Win7 installation and to update independently.

  Do not know what is happening in the State of activation Win7 tho, I'll be honest.  I did it with snapshots and it seems to be okay, but I don't know if he'll be correct after July when they start to charge for updates Win10.

  And thanks for checking out my blog =)

• Select a cluster to deploy the VM who already have virtual machines.

  I'm going to deploy the first Openstack integrated vmware and I ready management cluster but the cluster where will be deployed virtual machines have a virtual machine in a production environment.

  Virtual computers that are already running in the cluster will be altered? Is there a risk for virtual machines running now?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards.

  Existing virtual machines should not have impact. But there could be some accounting issues between Nova and vCenter resources. Nova will think the compute cluster X vCPUs has available, but some are already used by existing virtual machines, which Nova is not aware.

  How the Virtual Machine has been backed up and restored?  If Time Machine then...

  It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring VMS in all circumstances/conditions.  Also back up Virtual Machines via Time Machine of disk/time intensive and wastes a lot of space for something that may be corrupted and worthless time to restore it.  At least I would exclude the Virtual Machines with virtual machines and Time Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed and then manually copy the VMS to another location, preferably on a different physical hard drive.  So keep the user data stored in the virtual machine saved out of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis in order to always have a backup of the current user data.  If you need to restore a properly saved by VM is not as common at least you will have a virtual working Machine and data user to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine backup of the virtual machine fails.  Also take a look at: best practices for backup of virtual machine (programs and data) in VMware Fusion (1013628)

  That said, if you don't have a copy of the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk" and then to try to retrieve the data from the user, you can try the following:

  Download then unzip it (double-click on) the joint "Windows_7 - f004.vmdk.zip" file that contains the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk ' an empty logical binary measure that has been created on the metric of the existing drive and add to the Package of the Virtual Machine.  This should allow the VHD to be considered as a virtual hard drive, assuming that there is no damage to the extent of the binary left headers.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

  At this point, that the VHD has the scope necessary to show as a full disk, assuming that it is not corrupt the header in other binary extensions and can now attempt to access for the recovery of user data.

  There are several ways to try to retrieve user data.  The easy, although not necessarily work properly according to what now lack us due to replace the missing binary extensions with a logical empty measure, is trying to start the VM normally.  If the virtual machine starts up on the desk and VMware Tools load properly you should be able to copy your data to user off on a USB or slip and fall on the side of Mac or if you have a configured VMware folder then copy the files through it.

  Other methods involve starting the Virtual Machine with a Live OS ISO Image and copy files from a USB key or temporarily assemble the VHD to another Virtual Machine work.

  With the right tools installed the virtual hard disk could also be mounted as another accessible Volume through Finder.

• Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.

  Hi all,

  After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?

  Thank you.

  Marco.

  OK let me explain.

  As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.

  1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.

  2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Hope this is clear. Let me know if not

• Set the priority of restarting a virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm trying to set the priority of restarting a virtual machine in a cluster. I worked along THIS DISCUSSION to create this script:

  var myVcClusterDasConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasConfigInfo() ; 
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec = new VcClusterDasVmConfigSpec() ; 
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add; 
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasVmConfigInfo() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.key = VM;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.restartPriority =  VcDasVmPriority.high;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.info = myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo;
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray = new Array() ; 
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray.push( myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec ); 
  var myVcClusterConfigSpecEx = new VcClusterConfigSpecEx() ; 
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasConfig = myVcClusterDasConfigInfo; 
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasVmConfigSpec = myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray; 
  Cluster.reconfigureComputeResource_Task( myVcClusterConfigSpecEx, true );
  

  Where Cluster and VM are objects of the WF input.

  Executions of thoughts scripts, however, in the CR, I get the error «the parameter of {entry.@enum.» InvalidDasConfigArgument.EntryForInvalidArgument} is not valid for the cluster.

  It's simple... but I just can't cope.

  Thank you guys

  Also I just realized... that the method I used is deprecated... grrr

  Here's the correct one:

  var myVcClusterDasVmSettings = new VcClusterDasVmSettings();
  myVcClusterDasVmSettings.restartPriority=VcClusterDasVmSettingsRestartPriority.fromString(priority);
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasVmConfigInfo();
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.key=VM;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.dasSettings=myVcClusterDasVmSettings;
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec = new VcClusterDasVmConfigSpec() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.info = myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo;
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray = new Array() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray.push( myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec );
  var myVcClusterConfigSpecEx = new VcClusterConfigSpecEx() ;
  var myVcClusterDasConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasConfigInfo() ;
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasConfig = myVcClusterDasConfigInfo;
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasVmConfigSpec = myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray;

• How to connect the physical monitor in a virtual machine?

  I connected a monitor of my laptop, I want to use this screen for my virtual machine running Windows 7, so the virtual machine runs in fullscreen display them on the monitor and not on my laptop. Is this possible? I'm using Vmware workstation.

  WS = Vmware Workstation

  Your laptop must be supported using the second monitor as an extension on the desktop, only not in mirror as it does now. This is done from your video settings, has nothing to do with VMWare.

  Go into your video settings and see if the monitor shows up as Monitor #2, then look for a setting to put it right (or left) of your laptop monitor. My Thinkpad supports this mode.

  Check with the manufacturer of your laptop if necessary. Lou

• What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

  Hello

  Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.
  
  Thank you

  By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

  As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

  In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

  Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.
