• How to get performance counter stats for virtual machine?

  Hi again,

  I managed to connect to the web service using VI SDK 2.5 and I can't what are virtual machines installed on the host system. I want to get the VMS performance counter values. How to get values of virtual machines performance counter?

  try {

  service = util.getConnection () .getService ();

  SIC is util.getConnection () .getServiceContent ();.

  perfMgr = sic.getPerfManager ();

  Utils VMUtils = new VMUtils (util);

  The list of virtual machines on a host

  ArrayList vmList = utils.getVMs (null,null,null,null,null, arg,new String [1] [2]);

  I havef(vmList! = null) {}

  System. .println ("Host a" + vmList.size () + "virtual machines");

  System. the.println ("name vm" + vmList.get (0) m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString () + "vm 2" + vmList.get (1) m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());

  }

  Hello

  In order to obtain the performance counter for a managed entity, you must have following:

  1. get the managed object to the PerformanceManager object reference

  2 get the ProviderSummary object for this entity. It also helps determine if the current or summary statistics are supported.

  3. get performance metrics available for the entity. In a given time interval, the statistics will be available for these measures.

  4. the performance statistics for the entity desired metrics extracted from the step above queries

  5 examine the returned data object to get the statistics.

  Attached, is an example of Java, which takes the name of the virtual machine, run the steps above and print the available counters and their stats. You can take the help of this example and can improve to get statistics for all the virtual machines in your host application.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Folder path as a VM property - for virtual machines in a paralytic

  Hello

  I used the new-viproperty of LucD script to create a folder for each virtual computer property in my inventory. It works perfectly well for virtual machines, but not for virtual machines in a paralytic as these do not have a 'record' in powercli property. they report a $null value.

  Would be much appreciated if someone can help me to modify this script so it creates a VM property for the VMS and VMs in a paralytic?

• Wonder average CPU for virtual machines

  I have a supermetric that gives me the average demand of CPU for virtual machines.

  It works as set below:

  avgN($R40:A2055,3) / avg($R40:A2030)

  R40 is the data center - A2055 is the attribute of MHz CPU demand.

  A2030 is powered on virtual machines in the data center.

  Is it possible for me to write this formula without having to divide it by the total number of virtual machines in the data center?

  Is 'average' looks should do.

  

  Fix.

• 1 or 2 processors? 32 or 64 bit? for virtual machines

  I had a discussion with the network administrator about using 2 processors and OS 64-bit for virtual machines.

  It uses 1 proc and 32-bit on Proliant G5 servers for virtual servers ordinary.

  When it will be beneficial to use 2 procs and 64 bit?

  THX.

  Hello.

  When it will be beneficial to use 2 procs and 64 bit?

  It will be useful to use 64-bit when you have an application that you want to run 64 - bit, and it will be useful to add a second processor when you discover that a vCPU is not enough.  If by 'regular' virtual servers, you're talking low-end Windows servers, then the 32-bit single vCPU approach will be generally better.  Without knowing more about your applications or operating systems, it is difficult to give a more precise answer.

  Why do you think that you might need for 64-bit or 2 vCPUs?  Can you elaborate on what you put on foot?

• How everyone counts the total amount of GHz for virtual machines on a host-cluster?

  Hello

  I want to do some basic sizing and I may\may do not go the way to write about it.  For example, suppose I have a cluster of 4 nodes with a total of 200GHz and 1 TB of RAM on all four hosts with 100 VM.  How can I get the total amount of GHz\Memory that each virtual machine is configured with (not necessaryly to aid real-time) so that I can workout or demonstrate what fits on one or two hosts in the cluster, for example?

  Thanks for your help and advice in advance

  You can do this via the inventory tool called RVTOOL which allow you to do an inventory of all your virtual machines and hosts with the resource assigned and served. hope, it will help you.

• Virtual Center audit for virtual machines and ESX hosts

  Hi guys.

  I need to audit a system with 1000 + virtual PCs and hope you guys knew a script floating around in the VMware community who could interrogate Virtual Center for more information on all ESX and VMS hosts. Did anyone done something like this before?

  Looking for information on ESX, versions hostnames, Virtual Machines running on each host and the types of each virtual machine, the IP address of each virtual machine OS.

  Thoughts anyone?

  Thank you

  Hello

  RVTools is to look like Alan Renouf Powershell script vDiagram... http://www.virtu-al.NET

• Volume FAT32 host does support NTFS and EXT3 for virtual machines?

  Hello

  I am using windows 2000 server by using FAT32 and install VMware workstation on it. I want to install windows XP (volume must be FAT32), windows 2003 Server (the Volume must be NTFS) and my last guest OS is Red Hat Linux 9 (Volume should be ext3).

  My basic volume is FAT 32. It is possible to use all the guest OS using FAT32 volume base virual?

  Thank you

  mypass

  Yes you can, but you need to keep your virtual drives in the same folder... Thus, for example:

  Equip your drive C file c:\Virtual Machines\WinXP\

  and the D drive in the d:\WinXP-Data\ folder

• Windows Server 2008 R2 on a host of Windows 7 virtual machine

  Using a host Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), could I create a virtual machine in Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC with active directory and join the field of Win 7 host?

  If so, what virtualization software recommend?

  It would be only for development purposes.

  No, you would not be able to join the host (Windows 7) for Windows Server 2008 R2. (Chicken and eggs).

  You can use Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player:

• 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

• ESXi host have not of virtual machines when connected through vCenter

  Hi all

  I am facing a problem with 1 ESXi hosts. All other hosts are working properly.

  All hosts are managed by vCenter 5.1 VM. When I select this problematic host in vCenter and click on the virtual computers tab, it does not display anything other than a blank page. Then, it throws an error saying that the object has been deleted or has not completely created. The screenshot of the error popup is attached.

  However, if I connect directly to the host through the VI client, it does not throw the error and I can see the virtual machines it. If I have vmotion the vms during this host, I do not see these virtual machines via vcenter but I connect directly to the host and I can see the virtual machines. They work very well.

  What could be the cause of this problem.

  Thank you

  AG

  I would try restart the management agent on the host troubled or removing of vCenter and time.

• How to install VMplayer 3 network for virtual machines to comminicate with each other?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer 3.

  SE host: Windows 7
  Comments to: Windows XP and Oracle Linux 5

  I need to set up the network and activate Windows XP communicate with Oracle Linux 5.

  I followed this tutorial http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html to configure 2 virtual machines in Windows 7 host machine.

  I tried to test 2 virtual machines in the way as below:

  In Linux, [user@localhost ~] $ping WindowsXP_HostName
  Release: Unknown host WindowsXP_HostName

  
  At the Windows XP command prompt:
  C:\ping localhost.localdomain
  Its release: ping localhost 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data...
  Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 128

  
  He meets a few times and then disconnected by itself. It seems that Windows XP is ping itself and not Linux server. The host name of the Linux server is 'localhost' as well. It is a kind of confusion for me.

  
  From the information above, we can see that 2 VMs cannot connect between them.

  Can any folk provides a tutorial or example or case study to set VMPlayer 3 allowing 2 virtual machines communicate with each other by step?

  Very grateful in advance.

  In the guest machine, all I see is click on VMplayer-> VM-> settings-> network-> Network adapter Connection-> select Bridged: directly connected to the physical network. After that, nothing to keep.

  That's it for the network card in Virtual Machine of its parameters, and the rest is done to each guest at the guest OS level.

  In Windows 7 host machine, I don't see anything first.

  What we need to do is to assign 3 IP addresses to 3 machines: Win 7, Win XP Guest and Linux host.

  Why the world can't bring you up Google in a browser and type, the ip static windows xp, then static ip rhea of windows 7 and finally static ip.  As I have already said there are more then enough tutorials on the Internet about how to configure a static IP address by a given operating system then I suggest you Google it!  It makes absolutely no sense to write the instructions step by step for you when there are already dozens of tutorials available on the internet.

• Edit "Sync time with host comments" on several virtual machines by PowerCLI

  Hi people,

  In my vSphere Cluster (Version 5.1), I have about 70 virtual machines in a resource pool named 'RP_nonProd '.

  Now, I need activate 'Time of Sync with host comments' on all these VM in the pool of resources mentioned.

  I figured out, that with the following command:

  Get-ResourcePool | Where {$_.} Name - only 'resources'} | Select Name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Name sort

  I am able to get a list of coma separated from all virtual machines in the resource pool. Unfortunately, I do not know what command allows me to change "Time of comments with the sync host" above PowerCLI.

  I know, that there is an object called "$spec.tools.syncTimeWithHost = $true" that you can configure for real, but I don't know, how to write a simple script with this function.

  So any help will be accepted with gratitude.

  Greetings

  Marc

  Try something like this

  $VMS = Get-VM -Location (Get-ResourcePool YourResourcePool)
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec $spec.Tools = New-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo $spec.Tools.syncTimeWithHost = $true
  $VMS | %{
    $_.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)
  }
