• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!

• Settings of CPU and memory of reserve on the virtual machine running...

  Hello.

  I have two virtual machines in production with CPU and memory settings of reservation applied as shown below. I want to adjust these settings of reservation to "zero" for the CPU and memory on both virtual machines.

  I can make these adjustments while VMS are running, or do I need to power their first?

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  

  

  Welcome to the community,

  Booking of resources being completely transparent for the customer, i.e. a host function, there is no need to turn off the virtual machines. Basically all settings in are available to be changed in the editable GUI generally without interruption of service comments.

• Remove the NIC of the virtual machine running?

  Im trying to remove one NIC from a script and the machine has to be on. I am trying:

  Get-NetworkAdapter $vmname | where {$_.NetworkName - eq "Network 10"} | Remove-NIC

  Remove-NetworkAdapter: 2011-09-28 15:59:24 the VM Remove-network card must be in the following State: PoweredOff.
  At line: 1 char: 101
  + Get NetworkAdapter W7-AutoPrv003 | where {$_.NetworkName - eq "Network 10"} | Remove-NIC < < < <
  + CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (PoweredOn:PowerState) [Remove-NetworkAdapter], ViError
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Common_SharedParameterHelper_VerifyVmIsInState_VmNotInState, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveNetworkAdapter

  Would I really thing that there is a way to remove the NETWORK card when the virtual machine is turned on?

  There with the ReconfigVM_Task method.

  $vm = Get-VM MyVM $nic = $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Network adapter 2"}
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec $dev = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec $dev.operation = "remove" $dev.Device = $nic
  $spec.DeviceChange += $dev
  
   $vm.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)
  

  Don't know what the risk is, however.

• Support ESXi 5.0 host FC connected tape drives in the virtual machine running symantec backup exec 2012

  Dear Experts,

  We recently purchased C0H19A: StoreEver HP 1/8 G2 6 - LTO Ultrium 6250 CF TapeAutoloader. The purpose is to backup of VMS data, I mean selected data in virtual machines, as for the exchange of data bases email for server accounts database SQL server etc.. We have a full VM backup plan, so using symantec backup exec software.

  We have this configuration:

  -TWO DL 380 Gen8 servers (running UPDATE2 Esxi 5.0), both servers have not all SCSI ports

  -One SINGLE HP P2000 G2 MSA FC Dual Cntrl storage

  -TWO HP SN6000 12 - pt Windows Pwr FC switch

  -HP ADF

  All them above are related to the CF. Symantec backup exec 2012 is also installed on Windows 2008 R2, which is a virtual machine.

  But now, we are unable to see the tape library autoloader through the virtualization layer in the device of machine Manager virtual backup exec. Reading on internet, I also found some details that connected FC tape drives are not supported by the Esxi hosts. We are really stuck in this situation, all the solutions to this. I also read the article from vmware saying configuration for Esxi 4.0 FC tape drives and later versions

  Installation of a physical server windows with Backup Exec 2012 and HBA and connected to above switches FC is the only way to see the ADF? Even after reading articles on the internet, I'm not clear, please guide what solution I have now to get this thing going, I really need to find solution to this.

  Waiting for answers.

  Kind regards

  Hello, I'm a Backup Exec support engineer and yes the method supported is only by connecting the tape drive to a server of physical media. See the introduction in the Backup Exec HCL on Configurations of http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH175582 and http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH146293 alternative

• In the virtual machine running to vCenter

  Hi all

  We plan to install vcenter in a virtual machine. It will be connected to a SQL Server that will also be a virtual machine.

  Everything is looking for attractive about this config but we have some questions about VUM and other patches and upgrade which will take place.

  My question are as follows:

  -If the vCenter and AUVs are virtual, what will happen during a deployment of patches for these servers?

  -Si SQL is also virtual, what will happen during the correction of the virtual server?

  Thanks in advance for any suggestion or answer

  Michel

  Uh, excuse me, but I can't quite follow your 2 questions.

  Execution of vCenter with VUM in a virtual machine is a fully supported configuration where you can enjoy features such as HA for increased availability, instant etc..

  I'm running a vCenter virtual with VUM and other optional packages of a virtual machine, 8 host management and 130 machines virtual too without any problems.

  This guide is for vCenter 2.x, apply but to 4.x for the most part too: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_vc_in_vm.pdf

• Extend a datastore in vCenter with virtual machines running

  We have expanded our Volume and unit number logic on our NetApp SATA VMStore from 2 TB to 4 TB, we now want to expand in vCenter, I'm ok to do this within office hours, while VMS are running on the data store?

  Going via configuration - storage - etc etc...

  It should be good. Off-peak hours are preferable, because you must make playback etc.

  This will not affect the virtual machine running inside.

  Unless there is a particular requirement, why not go with 2 TB Lun? I mean add another 2 TB logical unit number rather than add a measure?

• Service mgmt-vmware restart causes the virtual machine downtime

  I'm looking in the configuration of SNMP on our ESX for Solarwinds alert guests, and is the last step I have to restart the service mgmt-vmware.

  I looked around online and have been unable to find confirmation that it will not have all the time with the virtual machines running on those hosts, as production machines.

  
  We run ESX v4.1.0

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  Restart management agents will have no negative impact on your guests.

• IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

  I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

  Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

  I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

  Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

  Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

  Hello

  Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

  Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

  But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

  Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

  However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.

• You can enable CDP on a host with virtual machines running?

  I want to activate CDP on my 3 hosts vShpere 4.1. Each host has about 20 guests on this subject. If I activate CDP via putty will affect the network connectivity of the virtual machines running on the vSwitch? Can I move all the VMS hospitality first?

  Hi Letstub,

  There is no need to evacuate your virtual machines from the vSwitch. Enable or disable CDP has no impact on the communications of the network of virtual machines. The following article that explains how to enable CDP mentions this prerequisite:

  • http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1003885

  Good luck.

• Best way to back up the virtual machine

  What better way to back up a virtual machine with snapshots?

  I have copied the VM directory to a backup folder, but then had problems to restore.  Just right?

  Not sure if it was because of the way the backup that I did.

  Sorry my English!

  It is recommended to create the snapshot with the VM or disable?

  Snapshots can be created with the virtual machine or not. With the virtual machine running, it may take more time to create the snapshot, and you won't 'lose' disk space, due to the State of memory that will be instantaneous.

  When possible, I recommend you take the snapshot with the virtual machine power off.

• Using vmrun to obtain an IP address when you run the virtual machine mode headless fails customers

  Operating system: OS X Yosemite 10.10.5

  VMware Fusion: Professional Version 8.1.1 (3771013)

  When you run a VM guest in headless mode I can't use vmrun to get IP clients. If I eventually bring to the top/start the merger GUI, the command returns the IP address as planned. It is always reproducible.

  $ vmrun -T fusion start "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" nogui
  2016-06-12T10:55:46.626| ServiceImpl_Opener: PID 11515
  
  ... wait for VM to come up. If the VM has a static IP address I can now ssh into the instance.
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  Error: The VMware Tools are not running in the virtual machine: "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion checkToolsState "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  installed
  
  ... Start the VMware GUI and ensure the VM's console window is open
  
  $ vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
  192.168.100.23
  

  I tested with open-vm-tools and tools VMware packaged with the merger and the behavior is the same. I also spoke with others on the channel of freenode #vmware who have confirmed that the problem exists for users of workstation as well.

  Hi danandham,

  Welcome in the vmware community. Iyou s really a problem, we try to fix it.

  After a command, you can use as a workaround:

  vmrun t fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" - wait

• backup of the virtual machine fails HotAdd mode if the virtual machine is running?

  backup of the virtual machine fails HotAdd mode if the virtual machine is running?

• Virtual machine running on snapshot but there are no spanpshot on the Snapshot Manager.

  Hi all,

  After a backup with VMware Data Recovery failure (error-3960 cannot suspend virtual machine), I have a virtual machine running on snapshot (see attachment) but there is no snapshot on the Snapshot Manager. Is the command to "consolidate" (I have never used this feature) the solution?

  Thank you.

  Marco.

  OK let me explain.

  As the chain of snapshot is not displayed in snapshot Manager, you can correct this problem in two ways.

  1 engage the snapshot command line. If you are uncomfortable in the command line, follow this KB KB VMware: commit snapshots on ESXi host command line if you are not comfortable follow step 2.

  2. create a new snapshot for this virtual machine (this will create a chain of snapshot, and you can see the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager), once the snapshot is created successfully. You can remove the snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Hope this is clear. Let me know if not
