addition of CPU/memory for desktop computers in composer linked clone pool

Hi all

I want to add more CPU/memory for desktop computers in a pool of composer linked clone but I want to build a pool of test out changes first, while the production area is still in place. Can you screw with virtual material in the main image and then take a snapshot and build the pool of test out of it without him bring the clones in the production pool?

I think that the process would be as follows...

1. modify the parameters of material on the main image of Win7

2. run the main image and let it recognize the CPU and additional memory (probably needs to restart the CPU I think)

3. close the main image and take a snapshot

4 create a new pool of test off the coast of this new snapshot

Thank you!

Yes it may seem straight, it won't cause any problems. If you want to be very careful with your prod environment, you can just clone the base image and make your tests on it.

  • SYSPREP for windows 7 64 bit linked clone pool

    Hello

    I'm trying to set up a cloning pool of VMWare View related with desktop windows 7 64 bit, but I'm having a problem with the sysprep command.

    Maybe I did something wrong in the process.

    Here's what I did:

    * installed Captain VM

    -> install a new windows 7 VM 64 bit VM (Ultimate Edition)

    -> tools VM installed in the virtual machine

    -> installed the agent of the view in the virtual machine

    -> the master VM has added to the domain active directory

    -> power off of the master computer virtual

    -> taken a snapshot of the master computer virtual

    * Make the necessary prepearations ActiveDirectory

    (creation of the organizational unit, etc.).

    * enabled View Composer in view administrator

    * created the linked clone pool:

    --> in vCenter settings, I chose the parent VM

    + its snapshot

    -> I also published the snapshot to the forwarding server

    -> in comments customization settings.

    I chose the sysprep method

    -> 2 windows 7 syspreps were awailable to choice:

    'WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '.

    -> I tried the procedure at a time

    Added some rights for some users to

    the linked clone pool

    All the steps of the pool of linked clone in view administrator configuration worked without errors, the linked clone pool has been created successfully.

    THE PROBLEM:

    When I try to connect to the clone related with the Client view, pool

    It gives me the following error:

    "This Office has currently no sources of funds available, please try to connect to this desktop computer later or contact your system administrator."

    When I watch the console of all (10) desktop virtual machines in the vCenter.

    I see the following error message as a popup on each of them:

    "Windows could not parse or process the answer without assistance for pass file [specialize]."

    "The settings specified in the answer file not applicable."

    "The error was found during the processing of the component parameters [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]"

    No idea what I'm doing wrong here?

    The 2 syspreps that I could choose when creating pool related, "WIN7SP01" and "WIN7SP1."

    were there to choose just like that, I've never done anything to create, is this normal?

    If Yes, what is the difference between WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '?

    any ideas?

    "I've seen this before and I will say it was because of some kind of defective license referred to in the specifications of customization, which in your case would be WIN7SP01 ' and 'WIN7SP1.   These are not created by the sight and were probably created by the person who manages the vCenter instance because that is where they are stored.   I would check that the license specified with these customizations key are the correct keys to use with WIndows 7 X 64 machines.

  • Is it possible deploy Windows 7 floating - Linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and licensing through KMS?

    Hi all

    I would like to build a floating - linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and lincense them using KMS.

    I read that the KMS solution is valid when you deploy more than 25 VDIs but if my VDIs are rebuild a few times during the day, why KMS does not work for me?

    I have an installed KMS and I think the job properly, but when I build my Windws 7 pool for each computer I always get this message:

    "Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license (waited 1275 seconds).

    If anyone can tell me what I should do to fix.

    Thank you

    What I do for this is to simply begin your pool with 26 machines and all have power upward.  Then just make sure all active and then reduce it down to the size you want.  Your environment might suffer a little performance while you do this, but it does the job for you.  A tip - don't forget to make offices and BONES.

  • How to change the computer name of existing desktop computers linked clone pool?

    Hello

    I'm curious about something that has developed in our Organization.  New guidelines came down and we have to change the name of the computer for all of our offices to meet the new criteria.

    I have many of our users is on the offices of Linked-Clone (automated pool, dedicated, assignment see 5.1) which will have their names have been changed.  I use a 'model' for the name of the computer.

    I tried this before by simply change the settings of the pool, and then recompose the pool.  Recompose worked well, but NONE of the virtual machine names have been changed.  All machines, recomposed just fine, but keep the old name of the computer (non-compliant).

    How can I change the name of the computer of my clone in an existing pool offices?  Maybe I have something wrong.  I'm doing it instead of having to create a new pool and move the persistent disks.  I would like to change the name in the settings of the pool and recompose, but it did not work.

    Scenario:
    See 5.1

    Automated cloning related pool

    Assignment of dedicated (persistent disks)

    Thanks in advance

    It is not possible to change the name of existing workstations by modifying the settings of the pool. There is no way to make this happen automatically and in doing so manually would not seen happy.

    Unfortunately, for dedicated pools, you will have more work to do. If you do not use Persona you detach the persistent disks and recreate virtual machines in the pool with this disk to create a new virtual machine with a new name to be generated.

    If you use Persona you could remove all virtual machines and have Persona to extract profile data down to the virtual machine that would be entitled to the user when they connect then. This will cause all user installed programs go, but I hope that's not common if you are already using linked clones.

  • Reservation of memory for desktop view

    "Set the VMware View Master model with a 50% memory reserve for all deployed VDI computers have a reservation of 50% of memory"

    Source: http://joshodgers.com/2012/12/17/example-architectural-decision-memory-reservation-for-virtual-desktops/

    Anyone done this?  My model is currently set to 0 for the memory reserve.

    My current setup:
    Windows 7 x 64
    2 vCPU
    3 GB RAM

    Should I pay for the reservation of memory 1536 and I test?

    Yes I usually recommend this. You will not see a big difference in performance, but will save your storage space because it will only need to create two times less fat-file on disk.

  • Upgrade memory for desktop Aspire TC 705

    Hello, I would like to upgrade my TC Aspire 705 4 GB to 8 GB... whose memory is compatible and which is best?

    It has two slots a blue and a green, blue is occupied by the Bank of memory that came with the pc and is a SK 4 GB PCL3 1Rx8 hynix low voltage - 12800U - 11-13-A1 I said, I tried a similar Bank, but he did not not recognized by pc (?) no beeps or the other (?) I tried the solo Bank upgrade, then I got beeps (?) someone advice pls?

    TIA

    Rudy

    The problem with the purchase of Hynix is that it is too expensive.  Almost double or triple the price because they have really not the retail arm for their "regular memory.  They started a retail arm for their passionate high range for boards thing this year... which does not help.

    All you really need is this module of Kingston.  It works perfectly with your memory of BIOS and Hynix Board, CPU, Intel/Acer H81... and should run two channels with existing memory... no problem.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA4M53GY8162&cm_re=KAC-VR316S%2f4G-_-20-239-298-_-...

    Edit: If you can find the part of Hynix on Ebay at reasonable prices, then go ahead.  I have the above kingston module and it works perfectly (dual channel) with Hynix in tc - 605 (which has the same advice that tc-705).

    Edit2: Memory voltage (DDR3L) will work to 1.35 or 1.5V.  Your existing Hynix DDR3L will work perfectly @ 1.5V as this is a standard JEDEC for your motherboard.

  • What is the maximum RAM for each location dimm can support for desktop computers Compaq Presario CQ3541L?

    I have a 32-bit ubuntu 12.04 OS installed on Compaq Presario CQ3541L desktop PC. Now, I want to update higher along 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 OS memory RAM. I want to know what is the maximum size of the main memory that each DIMM DDR3 slot can support. I need at least 8 GB of RAM since the apps I run will consume as much as 6.5 GB and probably more.

    Thank you.

    Yes, that's the conclusion I came to.  You can always try to see what is actually happening.  I had a different motherboard (again a HP) which had similar limitations except his max was total 2 GB, and he saw 4 GB very well.   They make a slightly different version of this Board with 4 memory locations, instead of both yours has, then who knows until you experimant.

    Use the normal desktop customization option to choose your photos you want to display as your wallpaper.  Also define the colors and everything you love.

    Then, if you want to share with others, right click on the theme and choose "save theme for sharing".
