Can I build a HA cluster with no heartbeat of the virtual machine?
Hello
I have some virtual firewall on two ESX hosts.
The firewall running Unix and is not (for the moment) possible for me to install vmware tools.
Is it possible to create an HA cluster where virtual machines are booted up on another host in the case of a failure of the host?
Best regards
Martin
VMware Tools are only needed if you want to use the control of Virtual Machine in addition to the default host of HA monitoring. For host analysis only (i.e. the computer restarts virtual in the event of a host failure) there is no requirement for VMware Tools.

Hi all, I'm new here and it's been days I'm trying to find the right script to the list of virtual machines and related information on each cluster and get 1 csv for each individual cluster.
Here is my code:
Get-content C:\cl.txt | % {
$cl = $_
Get - VM | Select-Object @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, @{Expression = 'Host'; Label = "ESX host"}, @{Expression = "Name"; Label is "VM"},
@{Expression = "Numcpu"; Label = 'vCPU'}, @{Expression = "MemoryGB"; Label = "RAM (GB)"}, "
@{n = "Provisioned Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (ProvisionedSpaceGB, 2)}}, @{n = "Use the Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (UsedSpaceGB, 2)}},
@{N = "Ops ARE/s/write"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}},
@{N = "Ops ARE/s/reading"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}} | Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture 'C:\vm_report_$cl.csv '.
}
Note: each csv is generated for each cluster
CL.txt lists the clusters , but all I get is several files with the same content, and they are not properly renamed
How can I do to generate 1 csv by cluster ?
For example, there are 3 groups A1, A2, A3 (in file cl.txt), we get 3 csv files generated individually A1.csv, A2.csv and A3.csv and related data in them:
A1.csv : A2.csv : A3.csv
Host cluster VM RAM (GB) Cluster ESX VM RAM (GB) Cluster Host ESX VM ESX host
A1 sx0001 su19001 4 sx0001adm 32 su1386adm su10670 A3 iu01990 A2
Sx0001 su23000 A1 2 A2 sx0001adm su12404 32 A3 sx1385adm su10034
Sx0002 su55000 sx0002pack sw12785 A1 2 A2 1 A3 su1384adm iu00025
Help with this script would you gladly.
Thank you
Joseph.
Judging by the timestamp, it seems that these files with spaces between the file name and file type, were made yesterday.
This might have been one of your previous tests?
Maybe do a series of tests of the script in an empty folder.

Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage
Hello
I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5. These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option. They are in different groups. I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?
Thanks in advance...
If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

You can synchronize a file to the virtual machine on two macbook pro
I have 2 macbook pro I synchronize files with every night. I want to keep the file of the virtual machine the same on both machines. If I run VMWare Fusion with this file to the virtual machine on a single machine, quit VMWare Fusion and then synchronize the file tonight, the other machine will be able to open it without additional configuration steps? Thanks for any help you can give me.
that would be copy very large files...
but I don't see any problem other than
Add
UUID.action = 'keep '.
to your file vmx to answer the question "did you copy or move you VM?" once for all time -
HELP PLEASE! I can't power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi
I can not power off the virtual machine on host VWware ESXi is any other command. How can I restart?
I need to power on the virtual machine, I did not back up!
Thank you very much
Hello
in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?
If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

When you try to install Acrobat 9 Standard to my HD Setup outboard seems stuck on C:\ and I can't move on a disk with enough space for the installation. What can I do?
You will need a bigger c. For everything that you can move there will be 10 things, you can't. Software installation puts the huge amounts of information in the Windows Installer on C database.

Hi team,
I ask that you forgive for asking a silly question without doing a free search.
I'm using VMware workstation 6.5. I am able to communicate with both machines by selecting 'only option of home. "
Is there a way by which the physical machine can communicate with the virtual machines.
At the same time through the VMS, is it possible to access the Internet from the physical amchine.
Help, please.
Concerning
Sriapti
When you use a bridged vNIC the customer acts as any other host, so that you can access is by his IP (or name if a DNS configuration exists as you acceding to any other host.) What tools you can use depends on the guest operating system and the software available.
I assume you mean access deskopt. Then you can use RDP (Windows Terminal services) or VNC (tight/tiny).
For Linux, you can use this last or all the flavors of SSH. In the case of Linux, I use VNC through SSH tunnel. You can also tunnel X through SSH, so if you have an X server on another host (such as the Hummingbird for Windows), you can open your own office remotely there.

I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?
Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.
Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?
Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?
Matt
If,
If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.
Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

Virtual Center stops all the virtual machines in a cluster HA
Hello.
I have a question about vCenter machine. We have deployed
VMware ESX 4.0 HA cluster on Server Blade IBM 3. VCenter machine resides
on a virtual machine on the same cluster. When we tried to recharge a physical switch (in the)
IBM Blade Center), all our virtual machines on the cluster have been turned off automatically.
If the vCenter VM is turned off, then everything is fine - the reloading of the
Switch is not turning off the virtual machines (and the net is ok - start machines
work through another switch in IBM bladecenter). If the machine vCenter
powers (manually), all the other machines, which have been put off, are powered
on too (automatically, of course, with the help of the machine of vCenter). How
is that what I can adjust the machine vCenter, so it could not power power machines by
itself automatically?
ESX 4.0 (162856)
Hello
Right-click in your cluster, change the settings. Select 'Virtual Machine Options' under 'Vmware HA' and choose the host response of insulation desired for the entire cluster or individual VM. If you do not have network connections redundant between your ESX machines, you probably want the virtual machine for when you need to do maintenance or your network switch died. You should probably also disable HA while doing maintenance. You should consider to build network redundancy in the case of a production environment.
I hope that helps!

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!

I see that this error was mailed here, but can't seem to find a position with a resolution.
We use Lab Manager 4.0.4 and just upgraded the hosts in our laboratory. Before updating to ESXi 4.1 ESX 4.0 u1, we cancelled all VMs in all configurations. There is none who were suspended, they were all turned off. We have improved vcenter 4.0 to 4.1 as well. We moved from a dell poweredge 1950 with two quad core intel L5410 to a r610 with two quad core intel processor E5506.
When I try to turn on some of the lab configurations (our VM models all work fine), I get this error:
- Cannot use 'lab1' host because the host CPU is not compatible with the judgment of the virtual machine suspend state.
I threw the State for the lab configuration (even if it was turned off and cancelled) and still get this message. I guess the processor architecture of these chips is quite similar, and both are Intel.
If I go into this directory of Manager of laboratory inside the data store for one of these virtual machines that does not light and add to the inventory, he turned and starts fine on my server esxi 4.1. So how do Lab Manager to get account it's well deploy and start it?
Hey billk.
Although not supported completely, you can solve it by going to the SQL of Lab Manager database. Make sure that you back up your database before you do anything like that.
Open the table "fsdir" and corresponds to the dir_id with the id Lab Manager VM. Once you find the relevant line, change suspend_proctype_id to null (Zero-Ctrl). You can do this while Lab Manager is still running.
The results can be unstable (i.e. Windows can crash if it was a drastic change of CPU), but at least you look at a hard reset. The bat reset certainly not being able to return to the previous state.
Also note that while Lab Manager does not include CVS, if you activated, your virtual machines still work in CVS mode. If you have a mixture of heterogenious of hosts in a cluster for Lab Manager, you can see this question pop up a lot. There is absolutely nothing wrong with take back the virtual machine because of the VCA, but Lab Manager thinks otherwise and prevents it.

Stage of JavaFX Builder 1.0 error: could not create the Virtual Machine Java.
Hello
I have installed JavaFX scene Builder under Windows 7 x 32. The installation process is OK, but when I try to launch the app it crashes and displays an error that says:
"Error: could not create the Virtual Machine Java.".
Error: A fatal error has occurred. Program will exit. »
I installed JVM 7u5, JDK 7u5, JavaFX SDK 2.1.1 JavaFX 2.1.1 (Java EE JDK + Glassfish) I would be grateful if someone could tell me if there is something missing. I reinstalled almost all software java several times, but without success.
Kind regards!
Published by: 942925 on June 26, 2012 10:23Hello
This message appears usually when the JVM cannot allocate sufficient memory. It may be the consequence of the stage Builder set - Xmx1024m command line: this is currently followed by default TLD-4515 and will be fixed in the next few weeks.
For the time being you can give a try on a system with more memory. Moreover, what is your current hardware configuration?

If the virtual machine can be harmful?
VPC may be dangerous for my pc anyway. I have average can do something wrong?
A virtual pc will create a virtual environment within its program. It runs as a program in your computer and request data to be processed by your processor. Depending on the type of virtual software you use, most of the time things happening inside the virtual machine will not in any way to communicate with your computer. To use the resources he will communicate the virtual pc program and then the program will ask you to windows resources.
Therefore, the virtual pc will be not harmful. It will use the same amount of resources (CPU, memory), such that a normal computer would be nice. I advise to use windows xp.
