• Create the virtual machine to the second virtual disk

  I use ESXi 4.0 and PowerCLI 4.0u1.  I have a virtual machine with two drives, disk-drive-1(1)(a) and 1 and.  On the first disc, I have my dev tools, where I create my virtual application and put it on the second drive.  Now, I want to create a virtual machine with only the second disc, disc-1(1)(a).  How can I go about it?

  There are new VAPP cmdlets in PowerC LI 4u1, but I'm not sure that they will allow you to do what you want.

  Otherwise have a look at VMware Studio 2

  To use $_. Name or $_. Name of the file depends on what you specify in the $hdName variable.

  I gave the label, such as "Disk 1" device, while you've probably used the path of the real as data store "[datastore] folder1/vm.vmdk.

• Add a new virtual disk to a very critical existing VM

  Hi all,

  My question is very simple. I have to add a new virtual disk to an existing Windows Server 2008 Standard virtual machine (we use vSphere 5). This machine

  is very critical, because it is the server of the company files. Is there a risk to add the new virtual disk on the virtual computer? Is it better to add it with the virtual machine died, or can I also in the virtual machine running without risk? I tried with a virtual test machine and everything works fine and I know to be very paranoid, but in this moment I still feel a great responsibility on me.

  Thank you all.

  There is nothing wrong by adding a disk to a virtual machine, it is HOT add, that is the advantage of the SCSI layer. VMDK all use a virtual scsi controller and it is hot add capable. SO just, add it and partition.

• Available to add the second internal hard drive to 17-e117dx

  Hello

  Can you let me know, if there is provision to add the second internal hard drive for HP Pavilion e117dx 17.

  If so, one) is there requirments or the specifications of the hard disk (any make or model); (b) what equipment will be needed and where I can get to and c) Finally will be doing so make sure the warranty of my laptop HP Sub

  HP Pavilion

  Product: F9J38UA #ABA

  Model: 17-e117dx

  Thank you

  Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

• Add the second NETWORK card to vSwitch

  I'm working on trying to add to install a second NIC physical to the vswitch which is installed by default when ESXi. I use the code below, but when I run it, it disconnects in fact the main physical network card and of course, I then lose connection. I tried different varients of this and even finished by adding a port of vmk, which I didn't do. I just want to add the second network card as a standby card network.

  #Add second NIC to the virtual switch
  $nic = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $currentHost -Name "vSwitch0"
  Set-VirtualSwitch -VirtualSwitch $nic -Nic vmnic1
  

  The cmdlet Set-VirtualSwitch accepts a string array as the value of the parameter - Nic. So you should be able to:

  #Add second NIC to the virtual switch
  $nic = Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $currentHost -Name "vSwitch0"
  Set-VirtualSwitch -VirtualSwitch $nic -Nic vmnic1,vmnic2

• Poor ESX4 + CX500 write when formatting performance second virtual disk (data volume)

  Hi all

  In a bit of panic goes live on Monday with the first virtual machine. Host of ESX4 implemented, no probs... followed by all the guides... vm os installed without probs... performed tests of copy file... seemed good.

  I went to add a new virtual disk and format it. The performance is comparable to the workstation cruddiest, collecting dust in the corner. I checked by the parser and this lun is blockage at 60 MB/s - of similar results in summary ESX.

  Here's the Info

  ESX4 on DL380, Qlogic QLA24xx. CX500, flare19. RAID group is 6x300gb FC 10 k disks. I have read/write cache LUNs and table, watermarks of 60/80... 500 GB LUN put VMFS-shaped...

  Don't know what else to add for the info, but I have a sick feeling in my stomach now...

  I was looking for the other threads, and it seems that people are just 60-80 MB r/w? I am more than one administrator to 'feel', and it seems that when I put in the form of virtual disks and run tests on sata II test whiteboxes, put in shape was nearly instant... I remember having 130 - 150 Mbps when executing simple hdtach benchmarks on physical servers to SAS.

  I'm confused... Any help is greatly appreciated...

  You use a quick format? The normal format is slow and very intensive I/O.

  And turn off the stats on SP.

• Install a second virtual disk

  I currently have a virtual disk (windows vista) installed on my mac, I recently tried to install a second virtual disk (windows xp). However inorder to save hard drive space, I created the external hard drive on a hard disk. Problem is when I pass by windows set up it does not recognize my drive external hard to Setup cannot continue. When I try to connect to my external hard drive, I get an error. I have attached a picture of the error. What can be done to fix this?

  First when you install Windows on a virtual machine to its Virtual Hard Drive Windows only has not to see the physical drive that the Virtual Machine is created or stored on, and more important again when it is an external USB drive it is the storage location of the Virtual Machine itself you should not try to connect to the virtual machine and therefore the message your bet.

  The result is if you run a Virtual Machine that is stored on a USB external drive, the host has control of it and must keep control of it since the merger is accessed under OS X and trying to connect it to the Virtual Machine directly you try to allow Windows to take control of it and you just can't do it because it is already used by OS X and current merger run the Virtual Machine in it.  If it was just a USB external drive that had opened and locked by an application running under OS X or OS X, as the merger then you would have no problem connecting to it and take direct control of OS X.

  So if you need to run a VM on an external drive, then just do it but do not try to take control of the physical device by pulling below the host and in turn merge since it already in direct use by both.

  JSYK I create and run Virtual Machines all the time on external drives and never have a problem installing any OS in the comments that as part of the process and so that the operating system is installed on the virtual machine, there never to see or to exercise a direct control of it nor I ever try to connect directly to the Virtual Machine.

• Add the second hard drive

  I replaced a faulty computer with a second hand replacement. Both are programmed with XP and the same browser. I installed the HDD in the position of the Tower slave, plugged the cable and Ribbon secondary and put power cord.  The computer does not recognize the additional hardware. Y at - it an easy way to simple transfer of data to the new hard drive, or is there a way to access the second hard disk drive so I can use the computer program?

  You have misused terminology in this issue, so it's a little difficult to determine what your problem may be caused.

  What do you mean by "the computer does not recognize the additional hardware?  Only shows drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If the player appears in disk management, but not in my computer, you may need to use disk management to assign a drive letter.

  It seems that if you want to take the faulty computer hard drive (in condition, of course, was not the hard drive itself which was defective) and put it in another computer.

  There is no such thing as a "slave of the Tower position."  Likely, you just put the old drive into an available drive Bay.

  Generally, the 'secondary' water is used for optical drives - not a second hard drive.  Usually, if there is only one hard drive, it is connected to the connector at the end of the water and the second hard drive is connected via the connector in the middle of the cable.  The cable connected to the primary IDE connector on the motherboard should be a 80 wire cable, while the other may be a 40 wire cable:http://www.mikeshardware.com/howtos/howto_connect_ide_hd.html

  When you have 2 drives connected on the same cable 80 wire, one is the 'master' (the one linked at the end of the cable) and the other is the "slave".  You specify the drive to this topic, what you are doing by correctly setting the jumper on the pins at the rear of the car.  You set the jumper on a 'master' and the other as 'slave' or two disks can be set for "Cable Select" If both support this and you have the special cable Select "Cable".

  However you connect, you must make sure that the drive of the old computer is defined as the slave drive, because you do NOT want to start from this installation of Windows.

  The foregoing assumes that both drives are the older IDE type of walk.  If one or both are SATA drives, it is quite something different.

• Expanded the bad virtual disk but not Guest OS - Shrink?

  Not quite another question generic "shrink the VMDK.

  I accidentally spread the bad virtual disk in vCenter 725 GB to 1 TB. Fortunately, I realized that until I expanded the partition to use the new space in Windows. Is it possible to reclaim that space? In the virtual machine settings, I have the options of arrow to "reduce" the size down, but I'm not sure on the impact at the prompt to do. Certainly if the guest has not been extended to consume this space then it should be recoverable?

  as you're talking about: the option arrow in the virtual machine settings

  This does not leave you reduce (Shrink) the size of the virtual disk, which has already been strengthened. This option is useful in the case when we say you went into settings of the virtual machine, the disk size increased from 10 to 20 GB, but not yet committed that change and you want to return to 15 you can then use this arrow to do.

  Please visit following KB, is the answer to your question, use VMware converter.

• Advanced conditional action does not work when I add the second condition

  I use CP 8. I can't understand why I'm running on this problem. I have a series of If-Then conditional actions, but I am running into problems. I narrowed down it to this problem.

  It is a simple check box that must show either the box or not.

  

  As long as I have only one condition, it works fine. As soon as I add the second condition, it stops working.

  

  Any suggestions? I appreciate the help!

  Rick and I tried to explain that a conditional action is always executed completely. This is the reason that the second decision has been reset what had been done in the first in your first question. I have a lot of articles on my blog where I point out that bad sequence in the decision (or) is causing most of the problems with conditional advanced (shared) actions.

• Reason: The specified virtual disk must be repaired. Running on MAC

  I NEED HELP.

  I'm new to mac and am a nood. I am running the latest version of vmware fusion, os and windows 7.

  So my computer crashed and I had to force stop. VMware was running in time with windows 7, now when I try to run windows 7 I get this:

  Cannot open disk ' / users/user/Documents/Virtual name Machines.localized / 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7.vmdk Windows' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: The specified virtual disk must be repaired.

  I went online and tried the two ways that forms said to fix, went to the Terminal and tried to fix the vmdk but kept getting the disk must be mounted?, so I tried to use an older version of vmwares support program and that has not worked.

  So I eaither need to know how to fix the vmdk or it go to mount so I don't understand this error, or if there is a way to trasfer my programs which crashed windows to other windows I installed it, (Aso 7)

  the path that you used seems to be badly formatted - use quotation marks around the file names with spaces and do not mix slashes to backslashes

  don't know - this forum software does not display paths well so you can have it is just - just new doublecheck

• Storage on iSCSI - mounted directly from the VMware virtual disks

  I am setting up a HUB/CASE/box Server mailbox of all-in-one for fewer than 500 users on a Windows 2008 R2 virtual machine and am about to configure the storage I need. The two words that I can't wait to hear more from Microsoft PSS is "not recommended" or "not supported." I have a Dell Equalogic PS6000 and have the ability to 'direct attached' compared to the VMware virtual disks for storage of mailbox databases. We run vSphere with vMotion, etc..

  Using virtual disks bad practice? Advantages or disadvantages I should know about? Adding a layer of complexity that might come back to bite me?

  I have a very similar setup and am currently using directly attached iSCSI volumes EqualLogic berries for my Exchange 2007 mailbox stores.  I also have the role of running UNIFIED messaging that works in fact remarkably well even if everything is running on a virtual machine.

  It was in large part because the EqualLogic recommendations had to use directly attached volumes so that taking snapshots multi-application/replication tools worked correctly.  If the Exchange mailboxes are held on a VMFS volume, then Tools EqualLogic will not be able to get to them.

  Microsoft have been OK on this configuration, and I actually had them made up our VM, one or two times when we iron out some problems of UNIFIED messaging (although I hide icon "VMWare Tools"!).

  The best thing to do would be to create volumes you think you'll need and attach them directly to the virtual machine using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator, and then run the Exchange tool (I forgot his name) to test the storage for speed and capacity.

  See you soon.

• Cannot add the VMNET2 (virtual switch)

  I had installed the VMware Server on vista professional. Requriment to add the vmnet (virtual switch) to create different network. I went and virtual network management, but on this page, I couldn't apply it but after selecting the Vmnet, so I had to click on the Cancel button.

  I thought that the problem occurred due to installed corrupted dump. I downloaded the new dump of VMware server 2 vmware.com and installed again but no luck.

  Could someone tell me why this problem occurred.

  Attached is the screnn to manage virtual network for your reference screen

  -Ashok

  Server 2.x is not officially supported under Vista or any other desktop OS but that said, it seems that it works ok although you can have problems with virtual machines to stick to 95% when booting on x 64. I run it, for test purposes, and I don't have the occasional other question requiring reboots or other corrective measures.

  The usual reason for the button apply shaded in vmnetcfg is because you do not like a true admin - with UAC turned, you perform a "run as Administrator". In addition, you may need to restart the VMware Host Agent services and Web Access after changes to these changes is visible/available.
