Activation of CBT for all ESX virtual machines?

• 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.

• Activate the CBT for Hyper-V virtual machines running in Windows Server 2016

  As Windows Server 2016 has built in CBT (tracking changes block) to take incremental backups of Hyper-V virtual machines. I do not know how to enable this on the virtual machines. Help, please!

• Parameters DiskIOPS limit for all the virtual machines in a Cluster

  I was wondering if there is a simple script to change all the disks attached to the VM is in inventory if powered by power to limit the IOPS / s to 500 for example?

  Close to there, you must use the pipeline ('|) '), like this

  foreach($vm in (Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster | Get-VM)){  $hd = Get-HardDisk -VM $vm  Get-VMResourceConfiguration -VM $vm |  Set-VMResourceConfiguration -Disk $hd -DiskLimitIOPerSecond -1 -Confirm:$false}
  

• Virtual Center stops all the virtual machines in a cluster HA

  Hello.

  I have a question about vCenter machine. We have deployed

  VMware ESX 4.0 HA cluster on Server Blade IBM 3. VCenter machine resides

  on a virtual machine on the same cluster. When we tried to recharge a physical switch (in the)

  IBM Blade Center), all our virtual machines on the cluster have been turned off automatically.

  If the vCenter VM is turned off, then everything is fine - the reloading of the

  Switch is not turning off the virtual machines (and the net is ok - start machines

  work through another switch in IBM bladecenter). If the machine vCenter

  powers (manually), all the other machines, which have been put off, are powered

  on too (automatically, of course, with the help of the machine of vCenter). How

  is that what I can adjust the machine vCenter, so it could not power power machines by

  itself automatically?

  ESX 4.0 (162856)

  Hello

  Right-click in your cluster, change the settings. Select 'Virtual Machine Options' under 'Vmware HA' and choose the host response of insulation desired for the entire cluster or individual VM. If you do not have network connections redundant between your ESX machines, you probably want the virtual machine for when you need to do maintenance or your network switch died. You should probably also disable HA while doing maintenance. You should consider to build network redundancy in the case of a production environment.

  I hope that helps!

• How to set up the generic dashboard for the specified virtual machines

  I have two question about "generic dashboard":

  1. I use the tag to classify certain virtual machines by role QA, DEV or PRD. If I select "Kind of resources", and then select all VM under a label, window "metrics selector" will be watch only "vCenter generated Operation Manager", it does not show metric VM. How can I see it?

  2. If I select the 'Resources' mode, then I'll be able to see the VM metrics on the window "metrics selector", but I must key in each VM name "Label to the area", it takes a lot of time if I have a lot of VM, is there no matter what symbol I can use to match this field with name column "resource"?

  Mode 'Resources like' or 'Resource', both ok for me, I want to just install a widget to display using the specified CPU VM real fast.

  Any information is appreciated!

  You will see that vC generated Ops metric because you are looking at the tag, which is a resourcekind. This switch of resources is "not" a filter label, these are the actual resources. If you want to see all the virtual machines, select the resourcekind 'virtual machine '.

  Generic dashboard is rarely used to show - all - kinds of resources, it is generally used for static selection for specific purposes. If you want to display all types of a resource type and apply a tag filter, you can select a different widget to display this information.

  There is no symbols that can act as wildcards, as you suggest. When you are 'kind of resources' mode, you need not fill out a label for the box.

• Lists the names of all the virtual machines

  I want to display a list for the name of all the virtual machines.

  Get - VM export to much information, how to filter the info I need?

  With the Select-Object cmdlet, like this

  Get - VM | Select name

  The Get - VM product objects that you pass through the pipeline ('|) ') to the Select-Object cmdlet.

  The Select-Object cmdlet allows you to select one or more of the properties of the objects it receives.

• 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...

• vCenter log files entries for the new virtual machine or distributed groups of ports

  All,

  I can't find the entries for the new virtual machine or distributed groups of ports in the vpxd.log file.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  This kind of info are in the DB vCenter.

  Not in the logfile (used for debugging purposes).

• Utility to display all the virtual machines that have ISO attached to CD

  Someone at - it a utility that will list all the virtual machines on a host or a cluster, indicating the State of the virtual CD drive?  I am trying to remove one of my nfs stores, and of course, he's busy.  It's a real pain to point and click through all the virtual machines to find one or two that have a CD with ISO attached.

  Obviously, free is better!

  Thanks for your suggestions,

• Impossible to change the path for the shared virtual machines

  Hello

  as long as user root, in the Preferences menu, shared, VMs when I change the location and

  (1) push apply 1 time, the path is created in the right place on the hard drive but when I want to share a virtual machine and move toward this path, the default path is the default: / var/lib/vmware... not the one created by the menu setting.

  Cannot change the location for the shared virtual machines.

  (2) push apply several times: odd error menu

  

  OS: Linux mandriva 64

  Any ideas?  Is this a way to manually change the path in a config file?

  Best respect

  Out of work station - stop pass.
  Then edit datastores.xml - don't know where the files on Linux - I expect it be in/etc/vmware/hostd or something like that

• script to remove all the virtual machines in a folder or a group resource

  Someone at - it a script that will find all the virtual machines within a file or a group of resources and then delete the virtual machines?

  If you're dealing with a specific resource pool or a folder, you can use these.

  $vmlist = get-folder -name "TEST2"  | get-vm
  $vmlist = get-resourcepool -name TestServers | get-vm
  

  And then send it to something like this

  $vmlist | ForEach {
       If ($_.PowerState  -eq "PoweredOn")
            {
            Stop-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False
            }
       Remove-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False      }
  

  Also to find files of type VM

  get-folder -name | where {$_.IsChildTypeVM -eq "True"}
  

  Do you need to search the children files or resource pools as well?

• How to make the virtual machine starts automatically after power is declining for all ESX host?

  We meet just power down and lost electricity ESX host.

  When we start the ESX host, we can on each individual virtual machine.

  Y at - it a setting that we can put in place for these VMs critics may start se?

  Your opinion is requested.

  Thanks for your advice. He agrees with your saying that the start / stop sems to be buggy.

  It's only disable it every time that you enable VMware HA.

  But it works (if enabled) and may be useful to define how the system starts up.

• Hyperthreading and Intel VT for ESX virtual machine

  Hello

  I installed ESXi4.1 in VMware workstation as a virtual machine. My physical CPU on my workstation box is Intel Core i7 730 with HT enabled with 4GB DD3 1333 MHZ RAM. However, when I try to create a Server 2003 64-bit VM inside this ESX host. and try to turn it on, it says, "THIS HOST is not taken in CHARGE VT". Above this showed hyperthreading is inactive.

  "I tried:

  1. in editing parameters of the ESX VM in my computer, I put the option for Intel-VT, AMD - V - & gt; NO GO

  2. Add monitor_control.vt32 = 'TRUE', monitor.virtual_exec = 'material' in the vmx file - & gt; NO GO

  Any help is appreciated...

  Only 32-bit clients can be installed to run as virtual machines nested within an ESX host. These virtual machines can only be configured to use binary translation.
