• Is it possible for HA / VMotion to migrate a virtual computer when the fiber of SAN connectivity is lost / Cup?

  Use: Version ESX 4 / vCenter4

  I have a cluster with ESX 4 nodes running HA. I want to know if it is possible for vmotion to migrate a virtual computer if the host on which it lives has a loss of fiber optic connectivity to SAN/back-end storage. I can get VMotion to work when I go unplug the Ethernet cable to the back of the esx host, but when I unplug the fiber connections that will freeze the virtual machine and no migration will happen. Is it possible to do this with VMotion HA? I also tried to use aggressive DRS to see if when I unplug the fiber it lose connectivity and a loss of memory or cpu and migrate... so not happened... the vm always reports to vCenter that memory and cpu have not changed... then DRS don't not kick to migrate the virtual machine.

  Thank you.

  There is no such thing for HA. HA only fires when there is a host or a network isolation fails. DRS also does not realize this. However, there are a lot of events that can trigger an action such as "maintenance mode". don't know if there is a for the failures of way, just check it out. It is described in the following pdf document: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_admin_guide.pdf

• Can migrate a virtual computer to another virtual hosted by the same host computer?

  Deal all,

  I have two questions and I need your help.

  (1) I wonder if a virtual machine can be migrated to another virtual machine that are hosted by the same host ESXi 5.0? (The host has a local hard drive). If possible, how?

  (2) if I have two stand-alone ESXi hosts (host A and B), each host has DAS (local storage) respectively. If the VLC Player is running on a virtual hosted by host A computer and playing a video stream from the Internet, (it is not at all access local storage). This virtual machine can be migrated to host B? (Suppose vCenter is installed)

  Any response will be appreciated.

  Cheng

  You can clone this VM VM A i.e (require vCenter or vmkfstools allows you to clone the drive ONLY) and name VM B. do you want on original VM. Something happened to A VM, VM B you Savior.

  vStorage the device (here). It will use your local or DAS.

• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

  You just set up the new TC and plug the old TC... copy the sparsebundle existing old TC to the new... but we do not recommend to do this.

  It's much better to start a new backup TM on the new TC and keep the old one for several months until you have a fair story and if you need never old file the chances you decreases considerably with time.

  The instructions are here if you really want to do.

• How can I sync my old computer with my new?

  I have a new computer with the latest firefox browser. Also, my old computer has the latest firefox browser. and I need to synchronize the firefox browser to the latest browser from my old computer. I have implemented the process of synchronization on both old and new browsers. When I try to run the sync on both computers, nothing happens. I need the instructions step by step on how to get everything from old favorites, passwords, history, tabs, add ons, etc to the new computer.

  Thanks, Jennheather

  1. Sync does not transfer the computer to another.
  2. A synchronization server is where are stored the data synchronization - this is the "hub". Data flow 'to' and 'from' the synchronization server.
  3. Best to have the old computer synced to the synchronization server first and then login / connect the new computer for synchronization, at least a few hours later if you have a newly created sync account or have a lot of data stored in Firefox. Thousands of bookmarks.
  4. At this time it is better not to have a mobile device using Firefox for Android connected to Sync then 'add a new device' to an existing synchronization account.

  May be easier to simply transfer your profile from the old computer to the new computer via a USB Flash key with the help of Sync, especially if you are new to using Sync.
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile
  IMO, as long as you do not leave a real old operating system to a real new (such as going from WinXP to 8.1 of Windows or Windows 10) it should be safe to copy all the content of the profile folder and replace existing files that are in the profile that is already on the new computer.

• How can I migrate a virtual machine without vcentre?

  Afternoon,

  I need to migrate our vcentre server to another host which is located in another cluster, in order to configure CVS.

  IM struggling to find the cli commands through PuTTY.

  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

  Thank you

  If you need storage move ot, you can use something like FastSCP - details here:

  http://www.get-virtual.info/2011/01/20/essential-tools-FastSCP/

  FastSCP do you want to allow to exclude the VMDK and other files from one host to another (if you have no storage of netwroked)

  You need the new ESX host is now click the properties of host and find the data store that you have copied thte VM at.

  Choose 'Browse the data store' and search the .vmx file that you moved with the files of the virtual machine.

  Right-click on the *.vmx file and select "Import" - follow the instructions of the wizard.

  Good luck :-)

• Best way to migrate without Vmotion virtual computer

  Hi all

  I was wondering if you have ESX vmotion but have HA which is the best way to migrate the virtual computer on to the oringal in a cluster host when HA moves a virtual machine because of a failure of the host.

  I know that you can export the VM over the other host when he returns to the top and you can add it to the inventory if it is a hardware failure and the original host will not return upward anytime soon.  What is the best way to achieve this?  is there maybe a console command to grow HA a virtual machine over another host or export is still the best way?

  Welcome to the forums - with vmotion output, there is no way to do it with out the time - the easiest way is to turn off the virtual machine - unsubscribe form the host is on - don't use the browser to store data on the second andreadd from host to host and turn on the virtual machine - you should be able to do this in less than 5 minutes.

  If ESXi hosts are still able to communicate with each other via a network that is enabled for management, the host is not partitioned.  Do you have other vmk interfaces enabled for management traffic?  If so, the two hosts would still be able to communicate with each other and would not be considered an event of host isolation.

• Best way to migrate a virtual machine from local drive to Cluster?

  Hello

  For historical reasons, we set up a virtual machine in the local disk of the ESX host.  This host is not connected to the San, where there is one group of another 3 ESX host.

  We would like to remove this standalone ESX host and migrate the virtual computer to the Cluster.  Should what tools I use?  Can use us the converter to do?  If so, when we connect to the Infrastructure of VI, does connect to the version independent host ESX OR import this virtual machine to an ESX Hos in the cluster?

  Thank you

  Hello

  your ESX host is connected to your vCenter?

  If Yes just turn off the virtual machine right click in vSphere client and choose migrate. Select destination storage and ESX server and it will be migrated.

  If it's not I turn off the virtual machine and just copy the whole directory of the VM on the new ESX Server with scp on ssh.

• VSS migration to virtual Distributed Switch configuration

  Hi all

  I am trying to wrap my brain around that and just run into a few problems actually make things work. Please bear with me, I will try and describe the environment that I have and what I'm trying to building with like jargin little I can.

  My current vmware environment consists of 3 hosts vsphere 4.x and about 6 different subnets. My primary host vSphere is home to the largest part of the virtual machine and manages 5 different subnets connected to each of 5 virtual switches separated with 1 assigned to each NETWORK adapter. Also, there is a switch of kernel VM with a connection to my NetApp iSCSI. The other vSphere hosts are simple enough, the two are connected to subnet 1 with a virtual switch for it and a switch of kernel VM with a connection to the NetApp iSCSI.

  Each subnet in my lab is managed/break through the VLANS on Cisco devices, so I saw that it had to assign any settings VLAN since the power of VMware.

  If you refer to the VMWare vNetwork Distributed Switch: Migration and vmware Configuration guide, I am trying to migrate a seup similar to this:

  

  However, I'm running issues when you try to get the int hosts a vDS configuration. I could create a vDS for my root subnet, add one of my hosts vSPhere and migrate the virtual machine to the new port group in this vDS. The Service console as well as the VMKernel remain virtual switches on the host and I can't understand how these migrate to a vDS host without lose the connection.

  I'm asssuming based on the number of subnets that I manage between hosts, I'll finish with about a 5-switch vritualDistributed for subnets, each with at least 1 card a vSphere host physical NETWORK link up to the appropriate subnet. In addition to this, I'm assumining I'll need to create a vDS for the Service console and VMKernel (iSCIS) traffic. The Service Console are on the same subnet, some VM most residence on that subnet, separate VSS was created on the hosts to manage separate traffic.

  Any help anyone can provide on how to create vDS for SC/vmk traffic and get the associated host migrated to which would be very useful. As I said I was able to create 1 vDS and add a host computer via 1 uplink NIC with the virtual machine, but nothing beyond that seems bad connection.

  Feel you please free to ask for additional details, I know it's a lot and maybe a bit confusing. Thank you.

  -Bryan

  Hello

  If I'm correct, when the host is added the vDS and the creation of the vDS Service Console, I have to select an unused NIC and migrate the SC existing to the new group of port... or should I add a second SC for the VSS by using a NETWORK card available and who migrate to the new vDS?

  Yes, select an unused physical nic so that you have a physical nic connected to the VSS and the other to connect to the uplink of vDS group and migrate the SC. existing if you have several hosts, vMotion all VM and test to see if the migration without distruption, also works to keep details of the ILO ready incase you need to connect to the console of the server.

  This is a very good book white http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere-vnetwork-ds-migration-configuration-wp.pdf that provides detailed information about the migration.

  All the best.

  Kind regards

• Try to migrate a virtual machine with storage vMotion

  Hello

  When I try to migrate a virtual computer to another data store (using storage vmotion - change datastore option on migration Assistant) I still see this warning on the migration wizard: this virtual machine must be powered off to perform this function.

  I'm completely lost, because I check the requirements to make a storage vmotion:

  1. license compliance: OK, we are authorized this feature

  2 source and destination storage of data available on the host: OK

  3. no snapshots: OK

  So, I do not understand why this message...

  What can I do? (of course I can't turn off the virtual machine).

  Thanks in advance.

  Which is my point... The message is related to the option greyed out only...

• Migrate a Virtual Machine like a physical machine

  Here's my situation...

  I had a virtual machine on a Virtual Infrastructure environment.  I wanted to migrate this virtual machine to another ESX environment.  The source environment is maintained by our IT Department and they will not help us or give us access to their environment.  Now we have a local administrator on the computer, virtual access, we decided to migrate the virtual computer as if it were a physical machine (physical machine to the coverter drop-down selection and installation of the agent on the source VM and when you are done uninstalling) in order to bypass interaction with HER.  The virtual machine migrated but very well and seems to work very well.  My question is, is there any potential problems migrating a virtual machine in this way (drivers, hardware, etc.)?

  Thank you!
