• Deletes a virtual machine of vCenter possible?

  Hi all.

  We used to be a Horizon view manual pool composed of virtual machines
  from vCenter server. In a single operation for removal of VM in view, we

  wrong selected pool and confirmed the deletion. The

  operation put merrily and when we realized the error, we

  find vsphere client that all VMs funds (a lot of them

  were running) in the manual pool view both were removed from the inventory

  and from the disc in vCenter server.

  This offends and confuses us. It is commonly accepted that it is
  Cannot delete a virtual machine running of vCenter: vSphere client no
  won't give you a possibility to do so, and doing so in a CROWD ends by default.
  But the view above disaster might suggest otherwise.

  I have two questions:
  1. is it possible to delete a virtual machine running of vCenter?
  2. If so, how to prevent in vCenter?
  3. (somewhat off topic) is it possible to come up with any hacking or

  This makes it impossible to remove vm disk Office while being

  able to manipulate the view of the pool? We prefer to rather in vCenter.

  =====================================
  The mistake that we made to remove all the Horizon view desktop VMs:
  1. login to VMware view Horizon administrator.
  2. based on the inventory, select the pool.
  3. in the view of the pool, select the tab "inventory."
  4. Select and right click on a desktop PC, select 'delete pool... '. »
  5. confirm the deletion.

  Software used:
  vCenter Server: 5.5.0, 1945274
  View of the horizon: 5.3.1 generation-1634134

  Hello Sun Nathalie,

  Finally, I was able to create your question on my test bench, but as I said earlier, it is not possible to remove a power on the virtual machine, which was true. When I deleted the pool which consists of power on VM, I saw in the VC that VM were power off first and delete.

  I also talk to the team from the horizon and they said that this device is designed this way to support several other features. To save accidental deletion of the s VM that they introduced the warning message.

  Sorry for your loss.

  Thank you

• Cloning a virtual machine, is it possible?

  
  Hello

  Before this question, I tried to find the answer and to clear me on this issue, the fact is that it is is not clear to me yet.

  I would like to know if it is technically possible to clone a virtual machine running and what are the disadvantages - if there is - with a running virtual machine. Perhaps it is preferable or necessary to stop the mv to be cloned.

  I have 5 Vcenter. I don't know about cloning function it is differences between versions of vmware and have been improved accordingly.

  I give thanks for your help.

  Best regards

  John

  Yes you can clone the virtual machine running, you have vcenter to do.

  If you clone with virtual machine off, ends faster than running.

• Duplicate a virtual machine, is it possible?

  I just created a virtual machine with windows xp pro, and I would duplicate this machine, so I can use this when the first has a problem...

  Is it possible, or I need to install a new computer virtual one since the cd rom... ?

  What is the best way?

  It is a separate product to manage multiple servers from a central interface.

• Sequence Labview to use as a virtualized bubble. is this possible?

  I'm trying to use vmware workstion to sequence a labview on an XP or W7 image installation.

  I get no error sequencing Labview 8.6. But the sprj (2.6 GB) in SCCM file importer. Unfortunately, I can not test the application sequenced without SCCM. A that someone managed to create a bubble of Labview? As you guessed it already, install Labview 8.6 in a virtual office went without problems, even to connect tot the VLM (non-virtual).

  Thanks in advance

• "Unable to connect because of an account restriction" Windows XP virtual machine as administrator

  I got virtual machine today and just downloaded some software that requires a reboot. Earlier, before the reboot, I wanted to remove my password I had set for the account, I went to the properties of the user in the control panel and changed my password for nothing. Problem is that now when I try to log in I get "Unable to connect because of an account restriction" even if I am the admin in the console. Anyone know how I can bypass this login/reset my password? I can not at all in the machine. I'm just stuck when connecting. And there is no safe mode F8 command at startup for virtual methods, I've tried. Thanks in advance.

  Okay, so I managed to fix it myself.

  For the love of everyone, go to your folder of VMS (search for it in the start menu if you can't find it), and ONLY if you have built your way out of a previous virtual disk (such as Virtual XPV HD) and always have access to this file, delete your virtual machine. This same folder. Then create a new machine with the file of virtual disk mentioned earlier, when you are prompted, and then run it. When it comes to the administrator, you will not have a password and it will record you up. Now, before closing, make sure that you change your password for an actual password to avoid that.

  If you have followed this by following the instructions, you should have more, if not all of your files back and resumed control of the console. I hope this helps. :)

• Create an alert only rule on the virtual machines in a Service

  I'm under vFoglight 6.7.1. I set of services including virtual machines. I want to change the rules, such as disk space, to pull it from the virtual machines in this alert service. This would allow me to define groups for different email alerts. Someone has an idea how to do this?

• How to reset the administrator password in my Windows XP Virtual Machine

  I just created a Windows XP virtual machine and have been using it without any problem.  Today, I started the machine and he asked an administrator password.  I believe that I have not set up one that I've never been asked before.

  How can I reset my password or I have to rebuild a new machine?

  Can I use a password reset utility?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Doug U - M

  If an empty password does not work then you probably have to rebuild the virtual machine. This time, I recommend adopt you the practice of setting up a second admin account immediately and make a note of the password. It's the same when you buy a new car: you get at least two sets of keys.

• 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.

• Run the virtual machine on the SSD or external HARD drive

  Hi all

  For school I need a large number of virtual machines. In total, I have about 140 GB of VM. And with a total of 250 GB of SSD on my macbook pro, which is for many.

  If I want to move my VM on an external hard drive.

  My question is what is the best type of external hard drive that I can get.

  It's a normal with a thunderbolt connection HARD drive or an external hard drive SSD with USB 3.0 connection.

  Who is the fastest, and I see a lot of delay compared to my normal internal drive of the SSD.

  I don't want a disc HARD normal 3.0, it may slow down the VM to a large part.

  Hello

  If you ask a normal hard drive vs SSD then the SSD will win anytime, regardless of the USB3 or love at first sight.

  An SSD using thunderbolt would be preferable, but I don't know if they are easy to find.

  The advantage of having a via USB3 SSD, is that the disc is easy to use also other non-apple machines.

  An SSD in USB3 should work fine however.

  Side note:

  As you have an external connection there is a risk of the drive is disconnected/offline when you use the virtual machine. This can cause whatever it is the corruption of data to have a virtual machine that is completely missing. So if this is going to be your Setup program then make sure to make regular backups of these virtual machines to another disk.

• Am unable to vmotion a particular virtual machine

  Hi all.

  I'm upgrading to our host ESX 3 (in an IBM S blade) of esxi 5.5 to 6

  Leaving the last VMs host so I can run the upgrade, I get this error with a virtual machine

  

  This could be the cause

  Thank you

  Tracy

  In the error message given, have you checked under items already?

  (1) VMFS_SAS04 - data store is up and accessible

  (2) EngineeringSVR.vmdk - is still available in the data store

  (3) all three ESXi servers have access to the VMFS_SAS04 data store?

  (4) have tried to migrate to another rest host?

  (5) make sure that no other operations are in progress for the VM

  Also share the file vmware.log VM directory to look for the root cause

• Cannot create a virtual machine with a vmdk file copied from another location, please find the attached error

  Hi all

  I copied a file from one place vmdk and try to make a new virtual machine with this vmdk file. But when I turn on after the creation of vm error is coming. Error in the text and the image below

  Power on the virtual machine: cannot open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  See the error of the stack for more details on the cause of this problem.

  Time: 31/03/2015-14:40:05

  Target: DBServer

  vCenter Server: vcsa

  Error stack

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on DBServer VM.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/543d140b-feb33d52-7640-90b11c9796c3/vmdk/kapuatdb.vmdk'

  Could not open scsi0:0 disc: disc not supported or not valid type 7. Ensure that the disk has been imported.

  This error message generally if the hard files have been copied hosted as VMware Workstation product, which uses a format of sparse file that is not supported on an ESXi host. Instead of the hard copy, you can use VMware Converter, or - if you prefer - you can convert the hard using vmware-vdiskmanager (before transfer) or vmkfstools (after downloading). I deal to use vmkfstools you will need to load the mutliextent module (see for example "Clone or migration operations involving virtual discs non-VMFS on ESXi fail with an error" vSphere 5.1 Release Notes)

• Create new virtual machine of the model that have two hard drives in the different data store

  We do VM deploy automation with PowerCLI.

  There is already a model created with at least two hard drives to one side and each hard drive belong to difference datastore,

  In the model's operating system is Windows server 2008 R2 already installed VMware Tools and other software in the second (other than C: driver) driver

  We can successfully deploy a new virtual machine with this manually with vSphere client model.

  But when we try to make the deployment with PowerCLI, can not find examples of similar scripts in the document of reference,

  and we also google this question, still no similar question was found.

  Is this possible with PowerCLI? If it's possible could you give me some advice or an example of script, thank you!

  Best regards.

  I already found the solution.

  With the vSphere SDK .NET API, we can create the new virtual machine to the model

  Mainly used API listed below, sorry because I can not give the source code here.

• Monitoring VM - how to restart the virtual machine

  Hi all

  Hit a problem in our environment that can not be solved, but wanted to tender hand to people and see if they have found a way to replace.

  Currently have followed vm enabled in our cluster. Thing is watching us to restart the virtual machine VMware tools demonstrated to a status of "not running" - now, the key is to most of the definitions, the system is available in this case, can be crazy, RDP'ed etc, but we here again them restarted as he finally solves the issue we see (for example unable to connect via citrix for the machines in question)

  Duncan in the post below highlights in order to avoid false positives any i/o to storage/network activity will be verified after that heatbeats failed to "double check" there is a problem with the virtual machine

  Favorite VM monitoring (aka VM HA) - yellow bricks

  What I asked is it possible to replace verification of network storage/IO activity and then restart the virtual machine VMware tools on them stops as soon as?

  Many tx for all thoughts

  «.. . is there a way to replace check network activity of storage/IO and then restart the virtual machine of VMware tools on them stops as soon as...? »

  You can always use a supervision-process inside the virtual machine for this tool (perhaps more followed VM). It acts independently and allows much finer control, i.e. it can try first (re) start vm-tools before restarting. Same BSOD /-kernel panic can be dealt with by VM itself. It can actually be even more robust, not dependent on VMware infrastructure.
