Cloning a virtual machine running Live - destination of the is an exact match to the source at the beginning or end of the cloning process?

Hello

I'm not a VMware Expert, so please forgive my noob question.

I was invited to migrate files from Windows Server 2003 to 2012 servers, and I intend to use cloning as a way of copying the VMDK with data from the file to the new server of 2012.

I created a script with vSphere PowerCli, which made a clone of the source and, once the cloning is complete, it stops and disables the Server service on the Windows of the source virtual machine operating system to avoid changes in the source of this point in time.

But I noticed, I have start by making a snapshot.

Question:

Changes made to the source VM when creating the clone will then be synchronized at the end of the cloning process, so that the destination virtual machine will be an exact copy of the source, at the end of the cloning process?

Or destination VM will correspond only to the source of the VM at the time of the opening of the cloning process, and all the files that have been updated on the source VM when creating the clone will be lost on the destination?

Thank you for helping me to get a clear understanding of the present!

Best regards

Changes made to the source VM when creating the clone will then be synchronized at the end of the cloning process, so that the destination virtual machine will be an exact copy of the source, at the end of the cloning process?

Laughing out loud

Or destination VM will correspond only to the source of the VM at the time of the opening of the cloning process, and all the files that have been updated on the source VM when creating the clone will be lost on the destination?

Yes, the destination will be the data from the time you start to create the clone, because a snapshot will be created on the beginning of the process and the basic of this hat of the VM disk will be copied, all changes made on the source VM will be writing about the delta file and these data will not be copied.

CompactDAQ via the virtual machine

Hi all

before I dive into the documentation, how can I a CompactDAQ ethernet to connect to a virtual machine?

In other words, what kind of ethernet configuration is necessary?

The device has a static address (on what subnet?).

should I use DHCP (I need a DHCP server on my host?).

I can run my guest in NAT or must it be closed?

Or is the totally different protocol, non - IP based (in this case how do I pass it to a virtual machine?).

Thank you

OK, I'll answer my message because it may be useful to others.

In the configuration of the VM, set two networks:

-one such as a NAT device is bound to the network interface used to access the web. Here I use the host being Linux and there is wifi, wlan0

-one as a BRIDGE is related to the ethernet jack connected to the CompactRIO

Start the virtual computer and configure the ethernet connection 2nd to use DNS and no firewall. After installing NIDAQmx, restart and from MAX, the devices should begin to appear.

Best way to reinstall Windows 7 on a virtual machine

I have 2 questions, first, I'm sure I know the answer to but it leads to the second.

I have a new Windows 7 Machine. I have played with it for a bit, but now intend to install server 2002 on it, then use W7 in a virtual environment.

The questions are:

1. I'm pretty sure of browsing the forum, I know the answer to this and its no.! but that's still...

My original plan was to install the server and use dual boot but use the virtual w7 on a daily basis, rather than one that came on the machine - if I wqill need it is longer than the 30 days grace period. Can I use the same key for both because they are both on the same computer / hardware? Most of the forums seem to say no, but also a distinction that it runs on the same computer / hardware - it will be - only virtually.

I can use other virtual machines to win 7, but these will be tests for the main environment and will be very temporary.

2 assuming that the answer 1 is not and I'll have to install the server and then use my W7 key on a new installation in a virtual environment, what is the best way to backup everything on the current w7 machine and restore it to the w7 machine I create virtually?

Note: I have 2 drives - 500 GB which I intend to mirror using the server (and then install another but that is not relevant to this ATM), but in the short term can I save photos, music and other files I want this player. It is mainly the files and installs them, personal settings, home group game settings etc... I want to be able to restore to the new environment of W7.

Even if the answer to 1 is Yes, this information would be useful as I would like to create my current environment of W7 on the virtual machine.

I will note that I have legal and valid product (in reason, where I work) keys for:

Server 2008

Windows 7 Professional x 2 (even if I intend to use one on a separate physical computer - I only want one on the machine that I put the server use)

Thank you

Thanks for the reply.

The goal is to learn windows server.

I have a knowledge base of what I do, but only with A + / N + level but who seek to expand and learn things myself.

I have 5 machines in the House and want to create a windows network using the server. The main engine was purchased for this purpose.

Can I install server on a virtual machine in win7 then? That would probably make life easier

Yes, you can. Do you intend to set up as a domain controller and have the clients to connect to it? If you want clients to connect to it as the other 5 machines which must run a Windows business edition, then its better you double boot with the existing installation of Windows 7. It is also very easy. He just set up a partition in Windows 7, boot from the disk of Windows Server 2008 R2 and select the partition where you want to install Windows Server 2008.

Win7 is pro - these two licenses - with the machine, I bought. It came preinstalled but is a clean install without all the dell tools etc... Add.

The other has not been used or turned on but goes to another machine.

Is Server 2008 R2

I know and understand the process of rearmament, thanks. The goal is to create a network within the home and begin to define AD profiles, use the server as a proxy and whole ton of other plans.

I understand the potential challenges, I have created for me but I wanted to understand the best, legal way to go on this issue.

I have a product key for server 2008 - I'm not trying to use the same one for server and win 7.

Recommended or not, that's what I asked at the start - backup current win 7 and restaurant then in a virtual machine created on Server 2008 possible?

No, it will not work. As suggested, for your test environment, its best you dual boot.

ACI Cisco Simulator in a virtual machine?

I understand (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/cloud-systems-managemen... ) that this need for Simulator machine physical but all the world got it running on a virtual machine?

I use aci-Simulator - s dk9.1.1.1 .iso

I'm running it on 6.0 ESX and VM configuration is as below.

100 GB SSD

10 NW cards,

16 GB memory

8 cores

Cisco-aci-vminstall - error.png

Even if get you this to install, it won't rise properly.  The software is written in order to check the ID of physical product of the machine on which it is installed.  If that does not match an expected value, the APIC fails to start properly - DME services begin voluntarily.  You must purchase an APIC-SIM-S and install it on that.  In manufacturing the APIC-SIM-S hardware is programmed with the right PID.

Auto-editions of production on virtual machines based on events

Is it possible to receive a VMS mail each time an event like high signature is detected, if we can automate this process, I am unable to find any these settings in virtual machines, can you please help me out of this.

Run a virtual machine with a graphical interface on a host without GUI

Hallo

I want to install a simple Windows 7 for some tasks bit where I need Windows on my server Ubuntu 14.04. This server has no GUI (no X) and should have any.

Already, I've installed the virtual Windows machine on my workstation to 12, so I would just copy the vmdk on my linux server and run it, maybe put something in the vmx file.

But I do not know is that it's all means possible.

Is it?

Is there any player or any application for ubuntu VMware when there is no X system (on ubuntu), where I can run virtual machines with GUI inside?

Maybe another virtualization tool, vmware not?

I think that this exact question already somewhere, but I haven't found much question where comments lacking a GUI, but not the host.

I need a guest-gui on a host without gui (where I have only the terminal).

So maybe it's not possible at all, so please tell me a 'no', so I won't expect more

Thank you to

Frank

EDIT: oh, this seems to be another question unanswered it is too difficult or too stupid?

Hi Frank,.

Now that would be stupid, having a text Installer, and then not allow the virtual machine to run. I think it should work, but you must pass the nogui option.

Vmrun help:

beginning

(Supported only on teams

Workstation.)

Starts a virtual machine (.vmx file) or team (file .vmtm).

The default graphical user interface option starts the machine in an interactive way,

What is necessary to display a user interface of VMware.

Nogui option suppresses the user interface,

including start-up, to allow dialog box not interactive

writing scripts.

[gui | nogui]

refer to the manual of vmrun: VIX API Documentation

Edit: hmm... Now, I see that you have already tried the nogui option. You might be able to install the package libxinerama, but he could hang out in a lot of dependencies.

FWIW, vSphere is pretty much what you describe a system not GUI to run GUI invited, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Unfortunately, I don't have a host linux without X installed handy here, so can't test here without the implementation of a server without head myself.

You can also try to run the client via the command vmware:

How is it important to enhance virtual machine hardware level if you don't need the extra features the latest offers?

Are there benefits or reason to pass the levels of virtual machine hardware if you don't need new features later versions give you?

We are getting ready for VSphere 6 and begin to migrate some of our guests.  Most of our virtual machines are at levels 7, 8 or 9.

From what I've seen, the features of material level 10 and 11 are not everything what we need on most of our virtual machines.  I'm happy to walk if later versions of material are better, more stable, etc and we should upgrade the hardware even if we don't need the extensive features.

Mike O'Donnell

Hi Mike,.

VMware sees as a best practice to run on the latest version of material (see the section of the Virtual Machines on this page: KB VMware: vSphere 5.x upgrade to vSphere recommended 6.0) and if you encounter a problem with a virtual machine, support may ask you to update the version. In practice it might give you more stability or some performance enhancements.

I was like you although I don't necessarily keep my VMs up-to-date at the hardware level. I make sure they are relatively recent but.

You want to make sure that all cluster hosts are compatible on all hosts. the last thing you want is to have a failure and knowing that the client cannot run on a different host due to incompatibility.

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.

Unable to build the vmmon module uisng a 4.3.0 core - 1 - virtual machine monitor [failed]

Hi all

I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed last updated with the 4.3.0 core - 1.

uname - a

Home Linux 4.3.0 - 1-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 2 15:35:09 UTC 2015 (7b374a4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Note, I've been on 4.2.4 - before kernel 1.2

After updating, I rebooted and I manually compiled the vmnet and vmmon modules.

Unfortunately, the two modules do not have to compile.

In previous versions of the kernel only vmnet module compiled with errors.

I corrected manually the file vmnetInt.h in the module vmnet as suggested here on the forum and it compiles and loads OK

I am at a loss on how to manually manage the change in kernel version of 4.3.0 - 1 in vmmon files so that I can get to compile correctly

The compile error is shown below. Any help, suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated

Hi James,

What version of Workstation do you use?  Even if Workstation is not yet officially supported any host OSes with 4.3.0 core I think that this issue should be fixed in the Workstation 12.0.1, so if you're on 12.0.0 Workstation and have not yet upgraded, give that a try.

See you soon,.

Try the list of virtual machines by NetworkName, then add advanced settings

Hello

I'm trying to connect to a host (not a vCenter), list the virtual machines, select the different networks of those in two, then apply two advanced settings for the virtual machine.

So far, I have this:

$vms = get - VM

SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

{foreach ($vm to $vms)

If (Get-NetworkAdapter - vm $vm.name |?) {{$_.NetworkName - eq "VLAN70"})}

New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.paste.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

}

}

Disconnect-VIServer $esxi - confirm: $false

First of all, how I add a second network to verify - if 'VLAN70' or 'VLAN80 '?

Secondly, there is a smarter way of writing this script?  I'm doors beginning with PowerCLI, but I think even my grandmother could write a better version...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Change of virtual machines managed by SRM for VR in an event of DR

Hello

I have a virtual machine that is being replicated using replication vSphere + I configured a recovery SRM for virtual machine plan is managed by SRM.

In a DR situation:

• To recover a virtual machine that is managed by VR everything I have to do is to connect to vCenter to your web site of DR via vSphere client, then click on recover.
• To recover a virtual machine that is managed by MRS. all you need is to get a full vsphere to your DR site that has the plugin SRM installed before you can retrieve customer.

My question:

Suffice it to say at an event of DR MRS on the DR site was dismantled (so I couldn't recover virtual machines managed by SRM) but I can connect to the Web from vSphere client and retrieve virtual machine managed by VR, is it possible to manually change the virtual machines managed by SRM, so they are managed by new RV?

See you soon

Hello

There are internal interface that allows you to do. Please contact VMware support team.

Go get the current "recovered by" value:

https://vrms_address:8043 / mob /? me = Recovery Manager & method = HmsRecoveryManagerGetGroupsRecoverySolution & vmodl = 1

To reset the value "recovered by" RV:

https://vrms_address:8043 / mob /? me = Recovery Manager & method = HmsRecoveryManagerSetGroupsRecoverySolution & vmodl = 1

Call the method after replacing ME with the GID... replication value and clear the value (empty string) for the recoveredBy property.

To retrieve the value, GID-... - look at the names of the replica files in target or check data warehouses the table GroupEntity in DB VRMS. To get prompt SQL embedded DB VRMS - use

/ opt/VMware/vpostgres/Current/bin/psql vrmsdb - U

and

\Q to quit smoking

Please note that the foregoing is not officially supported and may change with the different versions of the VR.

Kind regards

Martin
