adaptation of the virtual machine in the other place

Hello

In one of our vmware servers we show you two data warehouses. 1 for the VM running and 1 store backup data on another location.

The backup I do by hand with a copy command on the prompt of the server. It works well, but I have a little problem. The disk of the virtual machine are thin provided (for example 6 GB) but when I make a copy of data backup-store command tot they get the same size (40 GB).

I use the command cp with the sparse function, but it does not work.

Anybode any idea?

Thank you

Marcel

You cp for all files except the vmdk files.

For those, you can use vmkfstools.

  • Assign an individual ethernet NETWORK adapter to a virtual machine

    Hi all

    We wish you a new year filled with joy and happiness.

    I just install ESX 4.1.0 and vsphere 4.1.0.

    I have a couple of additional NIC cards available in the ESX Server. I would like to assign to each VM.

    I have configured the virtual switch as "vswitch0" and all additional NIC cards appear on this switch. But I couldn't find a way to permanently assign a NETWORK adapter to a virtual machine specific.

    I have 3 NICs and I intend to have 3 VM.

    Anyone can guide me please.

    Thank you

    Krishna

    An option is to create 3 virtual machine port groups and assign each virtual machine to one of them. In the configuration of the port group, set a NIC to 'Active' and the other two to 'Sleep'. In this way each VM uses a dedicated NETWORK card and - failure - switches to one of the others.

  • Merge cannot make Boot Camp virtual machine: perhaps too many places of the VM?

    I get the error message, well known in the VM library window "Bundle" & lt; pathname & gt; "" / Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmware.vm Camp "is damaged and cannot be opened."   However, my problem is not solved by the solutions proposed elsewhere in this forum.

    At the bottom of this post, I listed my host config and invited desired config.

    Here is a brief history, followed by what happened when I tried the solution of WoodyZ published here.

    • I had Windows XP Pro SP2 on my Boot Camp partition, but somehow ended up 'inaccessible' SigmaTel audio device and the Leopard installation DVD could not repair it.  I imported this partition to Boot Camp in the Fusion as a virtual machine.  This virtual machine is now stored on the external hard drive in "/ Volumes/ExternHFS/_CCCnonBackup/virtualMachines/Boot partition.vmwarevm"+ Camp.»  This virtual machine still works when loading in the merger, but the sound does not work, nor made a called M-audio Transit USB connector.  That's why I decided to create a new partition in Boot Camp with a SigmaTel audio device cool.

    • There are Kubuntu and NetBSD virtual computers stored in another default folder: yangguizi/Users / / Documents/Virtual Machines /

    • Using wizard Boot Camp in Leopard, I erased my Boot Camp partition and then recreated with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP2.  (By the way, I've formatted this partition in NTFS.)  This Boot Camp partition is the device of SigmaTel installed and accessible from the control panel.

    So I wanted to make a virtual machine of the new Boot Camp partition.  When I opened the merger, I highlighted the new Boot Camp partition down and clicked on the arrow of comments are starting to the right.  A window saying "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. "That window remained open for 45 minutes.  Finally, I closed merge by clicking the choice of menu to quit Vmware Fusion.

    Thereafter, whenever I opened the merger, I saw the message "Bundle" / Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmware.vm "is damaged and cannot be opened.' " next to the new Boot Camp partition.

    When I highlighted this new Boot Camp partition in the VM library and you press the delete key, absolutely nothing changed, that I could see.  Right click on the list of this score showed that the menu choice 'delete' is gray.

    Then I closed the merger, and then manually moving the file to the trash "/ Users/yangguizi/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp / '.

    The next time I opened the merger, a new icon for the Boot Camp partition has been displayed at the bottom, with the subtitle "Powered Off".  When I clicked on the icon start Guest, a new folder/Boot Camp / was created in the same place, and the never-ending open window showing "Vmware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine.  This may take a few minutes.  This will be possible once. " Blah, blah, blah.  If the cycle turned up.

    I am at a loss what to try next.  Here are three assumptions about the problem:

    1. Fusion has been confused by the three communities during which I virtual machines.

  • Fusion has been confused by the fact that I have, potentially, two virtual machines called "Boot Camp partition".  The older is actually a virtual machine hard disk external.

  • When I installed XP in the Boot Camp partition, the external Firewire drive was running. Then installing Windows saw much more of partitions on which XP could in theory have been installed.  This may have confused merge somehow, even if I successfully installed XP on partition C, which was 32 GB.

  • Did fix you this problem?  Even if you haven't, what do you suggest me I try next?

    Thank you, Yang Guizi

    You can just get rid of the all/Users/lincoln/Library/Application Support / directory / Machines/virtual VMware Fusion; It should all be recreated. The virtual machine to help naos is than the pretreatment of Boot Camp. You don't want to get rid of all the of them, the only one in the specified directory. For example, there is a blank template in Applications/VMware Fusion.app whence that of your home folder.

  • Specify a physical NETWORK adapter to a virtual machine

    It is a fundamental issue, or it was in VMware Server 1.x, but in v2.x options may not be available.  Here's what I do:

    I have a physical host with 3 different network interface cards installed. I want to configure the vNIC on each of my 2 mV at one of the physical network cards, so they each have their own. In VMware server 1.x I would install a vmnet # for each NETWORK adapter and then configure each virtual computer to use one of the new vmnet I set everything up. VMware Server 2, I can still set up since both vnet (one for each NETWORK card), but when I go to change settings of NETWORK adapter in the virtual machine, I have three options (Bridged, host-only and NAT). Two of these two new vnets are "bridge", but I need to specify a fo the vnet jumpered for each.

    I know I must be missing something very simple, do not hesitate to point out my mistake. Thank you!

    What is your host operating system? If Windows, run the virtual network Editor (vmnetcfg.exe) announces the administrator, disable the automatic bypass and map each physical NIC to another VMNet adapter * in the tab "virtual host network address." If Linux, run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl (it will take your virtual machines off / suspension) and choose to create more than one Bridged network when you are prompted, choosing different logical names and specitying eth0, eth1, eth2 or whatever they are called.

    Then in the virtual machine, they must appear in the drop-down list for the card that you have.

  • ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. Virtual MACHINE works on old MBP and Win7 but not on new MBP [mid 2015 retina], speed or network problem?

    We strive to use our VM on the new retina MBP (mid-2015) with MacOS X 10.11 (El Capitan) but we had a problem starting from Oracle. If we first converted our ESX VM but once on the Mac laptop Oracle (v12.1.0.1.0 on WIN2012R2) does not open the database, error;

    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

    Does not change us any setting on the virtual machine itself so services work fine. Network has set the IP with host only. Tried with Fusion 7.1 & Fusion 8.0.2 new Mac with nothing doesn't. Also with the different versions of the VM tools. Tried to remove the NIC in Fusion and recreate, don't sucses.

    Funny enough the same virtual machine starts fine on PC (workstation 10.3.0 & Win7), MBP beginning 2011 (Fusion 7 & Mac 10.10) or ESX itself for Oracle opens the database!

    That's why we think in the direction of the new MBP specific? speed or network issue? Ring the bells?


    Help appreciated!

    Bottom line, this is a problem of Oracle who dislikes the MBP on a virtual machine.

    for reference;

    Virtual MACHINE works very well on all platforms, but not on the latest MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015). So, when you try to use sqlplus you might get the error that there is no such thing as SID. Earphone works very well, but the DB process does not record with earphone or work correctly also. But the process is running and a SID tnsping returns an OK. This isn't a problem of configuration Oracle as the VM and DB works well from the moment where you run the virtual machine on a PC or an old MBP. Either way, Virtualbox has the same problem so not a problem of Fusion.

    I will record a deal with Oracle but I doubt that it is corrected.

  • How to separate in CP virtual machines (VM) to other machines of material?

    Hi all

    After the discovery process in the data capacity Planner Manager, we have a problem with separating it from some (really) virtual machines running in the VI3 environment other material machines and in the customer consolidation report this result of the effect of consolidation. Someone has an idea?

    Jerome Kovac

    the data manager should note what systems are virtual machines.  Once you have that you may be able to consolidate them, then download the new list of inventory.

    Once you have the dashboard updated, then exclude the grouping of the consolidation scenario.

    You can also group directly on the dashboard.

  • jpg moves from one page to the other places? CSS to blame?

    Hello world

    I don't know if this is the right place for this post, but if anyone can recommend a good forum, either by adobe or not, that would be great.

    I have this little schematic version of this site, that I am.  In dreamweaver, the code looks the same and is positioned at the same place, but the location of the logo seems to change a little bit on each page... it's very frustrating.  I use pikachoose, a slideshow jQuery plugin and I was wondering if this has nothing to do with her, or if she is in my CSS.

    The address of the page is: www.rachelahampton.com/test/index.html

    Try to go to furniture > living room > Squam Chair and armchair Gamp and see the logo at the top remains the same.

    So try to go on, or click on the logo above to go home and you will see that the logo ontop seems between the gamp/squam page and the homepage / about jitter.

    If someone could take a look and offer commentary on what is happening here I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

  • I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password.

    Default password Machine virtual XP Mode

    I've set up the virtual machine in win 7 Ultimate and put some data. Now when I try to connect it asks password and does not accept any password. Please giveme the default password

    If you're talking about XP Mode the default password is XPMUser.  In general you can not use Windows without a password in Windows Virtual PC that you can with Virtual PC 2007 and before.  XPMUser is used only with the XP Mode virtual machine.  All other virtual machines requires a user created password.  If you have changed the password in XP Mode and forgotten, then you have to start over.

    Windows Virtual PC is based on virtual server rather than VPC and all virtual machines need a password.  If necessary, uninstall the integration features, start the virtual machine and create a password for the admin user.  Restart the virtual machine, and then reinstall the integration features.  You will not be able to access a virtual machine created by the user that has no password, while the integration features are installed.  Once you have everything right, that a virtual machine will not be asked a password if you are the admin user in Windows 7.

  • Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely

    Hi all

    I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:

    $a = Get - VM | %{

    foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
    Write-output $nic. IPAddress
    }
    }
    foreach ($i in $a)
    {$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
    $b.delete)

    }

    It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject.  Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.

    I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way.  Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.

    Thank you very much!

    To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:

    «del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»

    Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:

    "del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"

  • 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.

  • Tuxedo of Oracle and Oracle Tuxedo message queue on a virtual machine.

    Hi friends.

    How is it going?

    A small question.

    So let's go live using Oracle Tuxedo 12.1.1.0 with binding distinguished Bulletin Board and Oracle Tuxedo Message Queue 12.1.1.0 on a Virtual Machine (VMWARE) running Oracle Linux 6.2. However, we want to know if there are recommendations or mishaps in which we face before running Oracle Tuxedo on a virtual machine?

    I mean, I wonder if I have to worry about kernel parameters, settings of virtual machine or any other thing that could ruin everything.

    Another question.

    Oracle also provides certification of VMS where Tuxedo Oracle would go on top of the?

    Todd little-Oracle

    Maurice G-Oracle

    Hi Bruno.

    I'm not sure what you mean with single Liaison Bulletin Board.  I guess you mean a cluster or the MP configuration?  And is it really a clustered or just a single machine of the MP configuration?

    About the configuration, you use Tuxedo services as well or just Tuxedo Message Queue?  The biggest problem with the configuration of the BONE is the IPC resources.  If you do a-c tmloadcf on your UBBCONFIG file, it will help you to determine the required minimum IPC resources.  In general, I suggest configuration much more resources than the minimum to allow for the changes to come and for some of the parameters for heavier loads.  In particular IPC message queue settings are strongly dependent on the load.  So make sure that the maximum message size and the size of the queue are big enough for your expected workload.  You can monitor the slot load using the ipcs command.

    We don't certify virtual machine environment, but support also a long time the VM vendor to ensure compatibility, obviously VMware and Oracle VM who both do.

    Kind regards
