• Convert a physical Wins Server in a virtual machine for redundancy

  Hello world

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  We have just set up an emergency operations center and run thrus by an optical fiber (so, technically, it's the same network but with some redundant internet). And we would like to set up the servers to replicate all the production servers (wins, sql, apps... etc) at end of failover/redundancy. The best is to reproduce in live all the time... but less than a number of days can be very well. If something happens, systems can be "reactive" or better proactively kicks in.

  Running on SAN cluster could be a solution... but we cannot have enough $ to build a San now.

  I would like to ask if VMWare provide all product that can take a snapshot or perform replication from all Wins servers to a virtual machine by a calendar environment. I think that virtual machine, because we don't have to buy new hardware while double set.

  Vcenter is for this?

  Any suggestion would be great.

  Thank you very much.

  Software double-take doues not need to be run on a cluster - it can be physical or virtual, and yes it can replicate a server on a virtual machine - vmware converter will allow you to P2v physical machine, but it will be a manual process.

• Can not see the physical adapters in the virtual network Editor

  I installed VMware Server 2.0 on my computer running Windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium.  I'm trying to make sure that the network card virtual vmnet0 only connects to my thread of material gigabit NIC, not my wireless card.  I went into the virtual network editor and none of my physical computer network cards are listed.  The bridge networks tab the checkbox next to automatically connect to the network device is checked and grayed out.  Any ideas on why my physical network cards are not listed.  Thank you.

• Convert the physical Linux machine with VMware Converter Standalone 4.0.1 on VMware Workstation

  Hello

  I work in a virtualization project, now I test and I want to test the new version of the converter, because I need to convert some Linux machines and I know that with this version is not difficult.

  I do not have the ready virtual infrastructure so I test on a workstation environment. I would like to know if someone has converted a physical Linux machine to virtual and if the destination has VMware workstation 6.5. I know that this is not supported, but this does not mean that you couldn't do.

  When I have to specify the type of destination, I got the error that you could see on the photo.

  Please let me know if you have tested this before and you know how to solve this problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon

  Malulas,

  Welcome to the Community Forums.

  To do a physical to virtual conversion, you MUST GO to ESX.  It is a requirement under the guidance of the user manual.

  If the virtual machine was already in ESX, you might be able to export to a workstation image while the ESX VM is powered off.

  Sorry for the bad news.

  Kind regards

• merge multiple physical machines in a virtual

  Hello

  can merge us multiple physical machines in a virtual one? If yes how?

  Thank you.

  Migrate a lot into ONE? Or migrate many virtual medical tests a lot?

  To the subject of one, it isn't not possible with a tool as the tools just prepare the operating system to run on virtual hardware. But it does not work tpuch applications running on the machine. If you want to migrate multiple servers in a single, you P2V one of them and reinstall the applications of other servers on this machine.

  If you want to reach it, yes it is possible with VMware Converter.

• When is it more logical to have the physical vCenter Server?

  I know a vCenter server can be virtual, and works well in smaller environments (3-5-hosts, in VM 50 to 75)... I was wondering what is the general rule for when it makes more sense to have the physical vCenter server... I ask because I work there where there are 23 hosts, with 225 VM location (close to 80 who are seen VM)... Currently the vCenter Server is physical. It connects to a virtual computer for the SQL database, which works pretty well... I think that in its environment could work just as well as a virtual machine.

  I just want to see what people generally find configurations. When you keep the Server vCenter as physics? What is the real world results? We have a few strong enough host, as well as solid EMC (fiber channel connected) storage servers, etc...

  PEACE!

  have your DB on a separate server allows the passage of physical to virtual so much easier.  After all, you will use the same PB.  Stop the physical area, save your DB, installing vCenter on a virtual computer and use existing DB...

  You can also make a copy of the SSL directory on the host OS old vCenter.  And for good measure, take note of the ID Unique vCenter server:

• Converting a physical server to a host

  I'm new to VMware and I'm unable to find the right strategy.

  I would like to convert a physical server to a computer computer ESXi host and migrate existing BONES from the server (Windows Server 2003 w/SQL Server 2005) to a virtual machine on the same machine. This host will be the first on my network. What I've read, it seems that the Converter requires a destination host must be specified during conversion. Because the machine will become the destination host, how should I do this?

  Is it possible for me to convert the existing operating system and store, install ESXi and then import the old OS as a virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance,

  Adam

  Hi Adam,.

  Welcome to the forums.

  You can virtualize your server as a workstation or VM Player that you will store on a PC (possibly use a disc of removable storage for conversion). Use Workstation or Player to start the virtual machine and verify that everything is OK. When you think that your application is running virtual, install ESXi on your physical server and a copy of the virtual machine, or make another conversion of PC to ESXi.

  Good luck.

• Converter Standalone on VCenter server?

  Does anyone know if the installation of the stand-alone converter on the Vcenter Server (with or without converter for vcenter) is a supported configuration?

  He can't find in the documentation (just walked, not a really read all)

  Should be able to coexist with converter for vCenter Converter Standalone.

  You should be able to install the Standalone Converter vCenter Center (with or without converter for vCenter).

  When you install Converter Standalone 4.0 to vCenter Server, if you choose the custom mode and enable remote access, you will be asked to use different http and https ports if the default ports are occupied by vCenter Server.

• Convert a physical server (w / HBA) virtual

  Hello

  I need your help to convert a physical server connected to a HP Modular Storage Array 1000 thanks to an HBA.

  My question: what is the best practice to do this kind of conversion? When I select the physical server VMWARE converter will convert the storage on a virtual drive?

  Thank you.

  Pedro

  The big question is what is the storage. ESX (i) have a limit on the size of the drive (2 TB less than 512 bytes). The MSA1000 is less than 2 TB, you should be able to run the converter and create the virtual server, including the E: drive. If the MSA is greater than 2 TB, but the used space is less than 2 TB converter will allow you to create the fret.

• Convert a physical box 2003 Server vm and the VM is extremely slow. Trying to connect again...

  Convert a physical box 2003 Server vm and the VM is extremely slow. Trying to connect again...

  This is my first time converting a physical box to virtual. This is Server 2003. The conversion took place and I try to connect to the box now but it's so slow. Currently, he sat to apply personal settings for almost 10 minutes.

  My boss has converted physical to virtual several times before and never said that he ran into something like this.

  Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

  I think that it is always looking for active directory. the newly P2V'ed will operate all IP settings. Therefore, you will need to wait until it has expired, and then enter the IP that is (ip, dns and etc.) above. the other way to speed things up would be to disconnect your network and the thing that your OS to expired immediately.

• A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

  The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

  If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

  most important:

  change

  virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmx file

  then change

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmdk file

  the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

  also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

  If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

• Problem of converting a physical server Ubuntu 14.04

  Hello. Everyone tried to convert a physical 14.04 Ubuntu installation? For me it is not check grub version it looks.

  I also tried on 12.04 and it works fine. The differense is:

  12.04:

  $ grub-install - v

  grub-install (GRUB) 1, 99 - 21ubuntu3.14

  14.04:

  $ grub-install - V

  grub-install (GRUB) 2.02 ~ beta2-9

  14.04, I use the capital V for version control. Is it possible to change this in the converter? I use version 5.5 of converter

  The result seems to be that the converter installs the wrong version of grub, or not at all.

  Solved the problem by following this work around:

  VMware P2V conversion: GrubInstaller error during the Conversion of the host Linux Debian | Mantraaz

  I guess that's the only solution because you cannot change anything in the converter.
