• define an id scsi for a disc newly added for virtual machines via script

  Hi Experts,

  I used the script below to add disks to several virtual machines
  http://blog.mattvogt.NET/2013/03/14/PowerCLI-mass-add-hard-disks/

  But currently our requirement for change as if we must add 3 2 GB drives, the disks must the controller use SCSI (1:0) - (1:2)

  And next bunch of disks, for example, should use use SCSI (2:0) - (2:2).

  Y at - it an option to set the SCSI ID when adding new disks.
  Please let me know if there is nothing we can achieve through scripts.

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

• Adding a virtual machine that has been previously saved

  Hello. I backed up a virtual machine that was running in an ESX (ESX n ° 1) and transfer all of its files in an a different ESX (ESX No. 2) data store. How should I add this VM in the new ESX (ESX No. 2)? I'm not using vCenter, I connect directly to the ESX Server via vSphere Client.

  The only way I found to do this is to create a new virtual machine in ESX No. 2, and when I add the new hard drive, I select the old VM hard. But this process is not so clean. For example, I read that if I used vCenter I'd be able to disconnect the server ESX n ° 2 of my datacenter and plug it back again, and when I do he added all the virtual machines that are within its data store automatically. The problem, as I said, is that I'm not using vCenter.

  Thanks in advance.

  Warlock.

  Once you access the data store and find the files, you can simply right click on the VMX file and select "Add to inventory."  This will allow you to add the virtual machine to your host without manually creating a new virtual machine and pointing to the existing VMDK file.

• Limit a group only port to be added to virtual machines with the role

  Hello!

  We have two 5.1 (soon to 5.5) Vmware ESXi clusters to total 10 hosts. We are setting up the new virtual machines for the Department of finance where they want to ensure that a level 1 technical support cannot access. On the side of the virtual machine, it's easy enough - but we want to make them a regular technician can also put a virtual machine on the portgroup (and VLAN) that these machines will be also on.

  Is there a way to limit a single portgroup to be assigned to any virtual computer through roles?

  Thanks in advance!

  His quiet easily. Go to vCenter.--> Home---> Networking.

  Select the Portgroup where you want to restrict users. Go to tab permissions, do a right click and add permissions.

  Add all users and groups that should not have access to this and give as no access. They would never know that there

• Adding a virtual machine to inventory

  Hi guys

  I have a big problem. I deleted a vm of the inventory, and now I can't get it back. I tried browsing the data store and right-click to retrieve it, but add to the inventory button is disabled.

  It is very very urgent please help.

  Hello

  Cross check that you go with the reference correct steps below, or well did you do any other activity on the virtual machine as a drive to remove or delete snapshot with which you are not able to get the button Add to the inventory.

  To register for a virtual machine in vCenter Server:
  1. Open the vSphere / VMware Infrastructure (VI) Client and log in with appropriate credentials.
  2. If the connection to the server vCenter Server, click on the desired host.
  3. Click the Configuration tab.
  4. Click storage.
  5. Right-click on the appropriate data store, and then click Browse the data store.
  6. Place you in the folder named after the virtual machine and locate the file .vmx.
  7. Right click the .vmx file and click Add to inventory. Add it to the inventory, the wizard opens.
  8. Continue to follow the wizard to add the virtual machine.
  To register for a virtual machine from a command line:
  1. Log in as root to the ESX host with a SSH client.
  2. Run the command:

     # vmware - cmd - s register ------.vmx

  To register for a virtual machine from a command line on an ESXi host computer:

  1. Log in as root to the ESXi host with a SSH client. For more information on the use of the mode of Technical Support, see Tech Support ESXi 4.1 using the (1017910).

• How to change the path of the JAVA virtual machine for the domain?

  Hello!
  When I create a domain to use Sun JDK instead of BEA JRockit, it always uses the JRockit when I start the administration server.
  
  I found that the problem is that the setDomainEnv.cmd after setting the JAVA_HOME to Sun JDK, he calls the % WL_HOME%\common\bin\commEnv.cmd.

• Virtual MACHINE disk, but not in the inventory

  I have a virtual machine that has disappeared from the inventory, but is still in the (non-local) data store. In my view, that it was off. I tried to add to the inventory, but received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name. I believe that these are the steps that led to this State:

  I had a consultant in an ESXi host to replace it with a new one and a few weeks ago. All virtual machines have been moved out of the old host. The virtual machine in question was arrested that we did not use it. I just noticed today that it was not in the inventory because now I'm ready to use it.

  Another change that happened a few weeks ago was replacement unit vCenter vCenter. I don't know if who had nothing to do with him or not.

  Any suggestions how I could see the virtual machine in the inventory again?

  Hello

  As you can see this message, "received a message that a virtual machine is already registered with that name", while adding another virtual machine name use inventory. However, be sure that this virtual machine is not already.

• New virtual machine cannot see host DVD rom

  I installed VMware ESX 3i 3.5.0 Build 123629 on a new Dell PowerEdge 2900 and began the process of adding new virtual machines. The Issus is that when I start the virtual machine and intsaller attempted the BONE of the guest virtual computer does not see the DVD, even if it is the setup of the virtual machine. When I go in the settings of the virtual machine and try to set up DVD to use the host device, I get the message that no device is available. Help...

  

  SATA has always been a little flakey when it comes to ESX.  You should maybe update your BIOS or make some small changes in the BIOS for him to see the player.  A quick fix would be to create an ISO of the DVD that you want to use and upload it to your data store to use until you get the problem solved.

• New virtual machine not added the domain

  Hello

  I use workflow 'Request new VM' by default provided by prchestrator platform, but newly developed VM thr' this workflow is not added on the field that I select during placement workflow execution. However, once the virtual machine is created I can manually connect to it and add it to the field. Any reason, why it does not work when the virtual machine is configured? Apart from the configuration of the settings field and network with the infrastructure, is there anything else I need to do? Once this virtual machine as added on a network, I also want to add some users as local administrators on this virtual machine, I couldn't find any way to do thr' orchestrator, can be done thr' orchestrator?

• First construction of DEFAULT DOMAIN for "Integrated Weblogic Server" in jDeveloper 12 c gave ERROR: wlst > error occurred during initialization of the virtual machine;

  Hi my community developers estimated!

  I just installed Oracle jDeveloper 12 c as part of the new version BPM Suite 12 c successfully on my LAPTOP.

• vCenter Operations Manager doesn't show any new virtual machines added

  Hi all

  I have a 5.5U2 of vSphere environment coupled with Operations Manager 5.8.4 vCenter in this environment, I have a strange behavior as new created virtual machines are not directly shown in the tree view of the infrastructure. Sometimes they raise within the hour, sometimes, others may need several days to appear.

  If I want an immediate reflection of VMS in vCenter, I have the best "Workaround", I tried to restart the services Operations Manager vCenter virtual machine of the user interface.

  All components are registered in DNS names, I checked that all entries are correct, that is the case. And they can be solved.

  Operations Manager vCenter is secured by a member of MS internal CA of an Active Directory domain.

  After "googleing"I've seen a similar question on hosts that are not visible, but not the VMs."

  Some of you have already experienced this kind of questions?

  Thanks for your comments,

  Michael

  As reported by the VMware support, it's normal behavior with this version of vCOPS. Switch to the 6.x version to solve the problem.

• Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

  I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

  Environment:

  Dell Poweredge T620

  E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

  40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

  ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

  Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

  Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

  Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

  The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

  5.5 of VMware ESXi

  ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

  5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

  Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

  Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

  Thanks for all the help!

• Cannot add to the second VM so once added to a machine virtual of RDM

  Dear Experts,

  In our environment of Esxi 5.0 U2, on a single physical host of Esxi, I created two virtual machines to Win 2008R2, I don't have any MSCS cluster. I created a LUN and presented to the host, the size of the logical unit number is 10 GB. I've added it to VM1 as RDM (virtual) and it is perfectly correct, I'm able to see in windows. When I tried the same add RDM of VM2, I found the choice of the RDM is grayed out, why is, it is not possible to allow 2 virtual machines see same RDM?

  I've attached screenshots to understand how it looks. The SCSI bus sharing on VM_1, I chose virtual to share a "vdisk" between VMS in same host, but that did not help either, I realized later, it is to share a "vdisk" and I'm looking for using RDM even in two VM

  Please see what could be the reason and if this is possible or not possible, what are the technical reasons?

  waiting for response.

  Thank you

  Hello Mustafa, in your previous answer to me you advised me 'use the existing drive' and attach to VM second, now with your answer you mention it will damage the drive.

  Sorry initially I Although your use of some clustering software that's why I advised to use the existing drive. Since your not using any clustering software, this will damage the drive.

• Adding multiple RDMs to a virtual machine

  Hello community... we do a lot of fun virtual project of the SQL cluster, running on ESXi 5.0. Without going too much into the details of design, I'm looking to try to generate scripts, adding a bunch of RDM (45ish) for a virtual machine. The RDM were presented to the guests, so the next step is to add the ROW appropriate to the virtual machine in the right order.  Here is a partial list of the available RDM:

  

  Based on our design, I know that 46 LUN must go in SCSI 1:1, 47 LUN must go to SCSI 2:1, 48 LUN must go to SCSI 3:1, and so on. I have a worksheet that has a correlation between LUN ID and SCSI ID required.  I can also manually add 1:0, 2:0, 3:0 for created controllers. What I would do is script the rest.

  I saw a number of scripts, and I don't quite see what I need.  To begin with, how can I specify LUN ID?  From there the questions keep coming. Any ideas/suggestions?  Thank you!

  The error is because there are 2 controllers returned (the same one twice).

  If you have 2 connections open vSphere? Make one

  Global $: defaultviservers

  If there is more than 1 entry displayed, you should check if you are in multi mode. Make one

  Get-PowerCLIConfiguration

  scopes 1 says "multiple"?

  If so, cut 1 vSphere connections. For example, by

  Disconnect-ViServer-Server $global: defaultviservers [0] - confirm: $false

  Then check if the SCSI controller Get returns only 1 object.
